Chapter 1791: Han Banner World 181 Full of Happiness

In Jinyang City, Jiang Fu was carrying a bundle, which contained the division commander's report he had just received. When he returned to his home in Jinyang, his wounds had not yet healed, and he still limped when he walked.

In the Battle of Jinyang, the 20th Army suffered heavy casualties, and all the outposts were lost. In the entire Jinyang war zone, only some important cities were not conquered by the Qin army, but the only fortress guarded by Jiang Fu at the forefront. At the end of the war, the yellow dragon flag of the Han Dynasty was still flying. There were more than 1,500 people in the battalion, and only more than 200 people with scars were left.

Jiang Fu became the role model promoted by the First Military Region in this war. As long as there is still a flag flying in the war zone, it cannot be said that these places have completely fallen. Of course, the military report reported by the First Military Region to the court must be much better, and such a miracle of war does not happen every time. After the war, Jiang Fu was promoted from battalion commander to division commander, which was like riding a rocket and soaring into the sky.

Of course, this was also because the 20th Army suffered too much loss and a large number of officers died on the battlefield.

Jiang Fu took his remaining soldiers back to Jinyang City. As a model unit, they naturally received far more ordinary treatment, good doctors, and good medicines. But even so, among the brothers who came back, there were still several who did not survive and closed their eyes forever.

Even though Jiang Fu had seen life and death many times and rolled on the edge of the field of life, he still cried when those brothers closed their eyes.

When he opened the door, the aroma of stewed meat immediately floated into his nostrils. "I'm back!" he shouted.

The house immediately became lively. The father-in-law and mother-in-law appeared at the door, each holding a child. They were all honest local farmers. After Jiang Fu became the battalion commander, he also took them to Jinyang City. The land outside the city was rented to other races, and the two old people helped women take care of children in the city. As battalion commanders. His salary was still enough to support the family. Besides, the father-in-law was not old. But he was only in his forties, and he could earn a lot of money by doing odd jobs in Jinyang City.

Jiang Fu's attitude was not to become rich, but to keep his family safe. He had no family, so he regarded his wife's family as his own relatives. Of course, his father-in-law and mother-in-law were still a little afraid of this son-in-law who was an officer.

"You're back!" The old father-in-law reached out to take the bundle in Jiang Fu's hand, with a smile on his face. The deeds of his son-in-law were now known to everyone in the whole Jinyang City. There were already storytellers who compiled Jiang Fu's experience into a song book and sang it in the teahouse.

The old man was very proud. He didn't know how big an official the division commander was, but he knew that his son-in-law could now command more than 10,000 soldiers. In the eyes of the old man, that was already very remarkable.

He handed the bundle in his hand to the old man,

and took the child. He pinched the child's red face. When he just came back, the child didn't recognize him at all. As soon as he took over, he burst into tears. Now he finally recognized his father.

"What is Daya stewing? It smells so good! I'll go and take a look!" Jiang Fu said with a smile, and walked towards the back kitchen. His home in Jinyang was just a small courtyard. He and his wife occupied one room, his father-in-law and his wife lived in one room, and then there was a utility room and the back kitchen.

"Son-in-law, don't go. You are a grown man, how can you enter the kitchen?" The old man grabbed Jiang Fu's arm.

Jiang Fu was stunned. Then he smiled and said, "Dad, what do you mean by grown men can't enter the kitchen? I see you often help your mother, don't you?"

"I'm different from you. You are a big official!" The old man had a somewhat ashamed expression on his face.

"Look at what you said. What big official or not, I am your son-in-law, Daya's man? No matter how big an official I become, this will not change. I'll go and take a look." Jiang Fu smiled and got rid of the old man's hand, and pushed the door and walked to the back.

Looking at the lowered curtain, the old man's expression was very relieved. To be honest, he was really a little worried. Jiang Fu became a high-ranking official. Would he look down on his daughter? Several old friends who worked odd jobs together had told him about this half-jokingly and half-seriously. But now it seems that Jiang Fu is still the same Jiang Fu as before.

"You're back!" The daughter in the kitchen looked back at Jiang Fu who came in. This was a woman with rough hands and feet. She was not beautiful, but she was just decent.

"You're back. The military department held a meeting today. When it came to the issue of replenishing troops, our 20th Army fought too badly. A batch of new soldiers will be replenished in the near future. Commander Li promised me that after the new soldiers arrive, they will replenish me first." Jiang Fu sat down at the door of the stove, put the child on his knees, and freed one hand to stuff firewood into the stove.

"I would rather your men never replenish the soldiers, so that you don't have to go to the battlefield. This time, I was scared to death. They all said that you must be gone." Daya looked at him with some resentment.

Jiang Fu smiled. He knew that this time, the woman must have been terribly frightened. When he returned to Jinyang, he saw that the woman was emaciated and thin. When she saw him for the first time, she was not surprised, but fainted. After recuperating for a period of time, she finally recovered her body. His woman was indeed strong.

"It is our duty to serve as soldiers to eat food and fight. Besides, the Han Dynasty, if we soldiers don't defend it, who will defend it? We live a good life, but we cannot tolerate the Qin people coming to make trouble!" Jiang Fu smiled. "Don't worry, I'm lucky enough to die."

Daya sighed and said nothing. She was a traditional woman who was accustomed to treating men as her first priority. She could only complain a few times.

"Today's stew is mutton soup with medicinal herbs in it. You have to drink more to get better quickly." After a moment of silence, Daya said.

"I have been replenishing this for many days, and I still have to replenish it!" Jiang Fu said with a bitter face, "Da Ya, during this period, I am afraid that my family will be completely empty, but I can't buy any more medicinal materials. It's expensive. of."

"The family is not short of money. We used to have little expenses. Dad worked odd jobs in the city, and my mother and I could also do some sewing and mending. You have saved all your military pay. Besides, haven't you been promoted? Isn't it true that military pay will be higher in the future than it is now?" Da Ya looked at Jiang Fu at the door and said with a smile, "By the way, I haven't asked you yet, how much more will your military pay be when you become a division commander?"

Looking at Da Ya, Jiang Fu's heart was filled with happiness. This woman would always only care about a man's body, the expenses of the family, and what she represented as an official. It seemed that nothing was important in her heart. of.

"When I was a battalion commander, my monthly salary was twenty taels of silver. Now I am a division commander, and it seems to be one hundred taels per month. However, I haven't received it or asked about it. Now I have just finished the war and it is in a mess. Don’t care about this.”

"How much?" The spatula in Daya's hand froze in mid-air and she stared at Jiang Fu.

"One hundred taels!" Just as Jiang Fu said these words, he saw the spatula in Daya's hand falling down with a clang and falling into the pot, splashing countless soup and water. He was so frightened that he quickly stretched out his hand to cover it. Doll's face on knees.

With a loud shout, Daya jumped up and down in the room, and a lot of soup splashed on her body. "Are you okay?" Jiang Fu stood up, walked to Daya, and pulled her shoulders carefully. He looked at him carefully.

"It's okay, it's okay!" Da Ya shook her head vigorously, and the smile on her face made Jiang Fu burst out laughing. Da Ya wanted to purse her lips, but she couldn't suppress the joy in her heart no matter what.

"It's one hundred taels! One year is one thousand two hundred taels. We are rich!" She clapped her hands and laughed loudly: "In the future, the strong and the strong will be able to wear new clothes without waiting for the New Year. I can also give them Dad bought some good wine!"

"Also, it's time for you to add some new clothes and some jewelry!" Jiang Fu said with a smile.

"I'll forget it! She looks like this, and she doesn't look good in new clothes. Besides, how can she work with jewelry on?" Daya shook her head repeatedly.

"You don't have to work anymore, I can support you."

"No way, I don't do any work, it will make people depressed." Da Ya shook her head and said: "I'm used to it, I can't stop doing it, but I can't do any more sewing and mending work in the future, don't you?" I know that some of my former regular customers no longer give me work and say they don’t dare to work for me anymore, which makes me very angry.”

Jiang Fu couldn't help laughing when he heard Daya's complaints.

"Don't laugh, isn't my mother taking care of the children at home? I have to do things, but you can't stop me from going out when you become a high official. Didn't the Sheriff and your Commander-in-Chief return the favor two days ago? An announcement was made together, asking women to go out to work? How can I be idle at home, when I heard that the county governor’s wife has gone out to work?”

Speaking of this, the smile on Jiang Fu's face couldn't help but shrink. In this war, Jinyang suffered huge losses, especially men. So in spring, there was a labor panic. In the city and in the countryside, , there are employment vacancies everywhere, and the county guard has no choice but to call on women to come out and do what they can. This was unimaginable in the past, but now in Han Dynasty, it is not uncommon for women to work.

"As long as you're happy! Just don't be tired." Jiang Fu nodded.

"I'm in good health. When I was in my hometown, I could still plow the fields with oxen. I can do many jobs that even the old men can't do!" Da Ya said proudly, raising her face.

"My eldest daughter is naturally the most capable." Jiang Fu nodded repeatedly.

With a smile on her face, Daya scooped up a spoonful of soup, blew it for a while, and fed it to Jiang Fu's mouth, "Come and try it, is it delicious?"

Jiang Fu felt his heart melt when he drank a spoonful of soup. This was not soup, but full of happiness!

Being alive, reunited, and with family members all around is the best thing. (To be continued.)
