It must be said that although Uncle Ai is only a general manager of the Yan family, he has a broad vision. The general managers of ordinary large families, even the masters, cannot be compared with him.

All my previous assumptions were revealed by him once he visited Jiujiang.

Indeed, the people who stopped Pei Yuanxiu tried their best to preserve Shen Xiaokun's strength, and then introduced Wei Ningyuan to Jiujiang to meet Shen Xiaokun, so that they could join forces with civil and military forces to manage the forces near Jiujiang, and indeed prepared for the future.

Think about it. I have not thought about who to help or suppress in detail. When the war starts, it will be wrong to help anyone and right to save anyone. I just hope that fewer people will participate in the war and let the war continue.

Spread as little as possible and as slowly as possible.

The common people are the real victims of war, and those who hold great power should not talk about war lightly.

At this time, I asked softly: "Susu, are you willing to stay?"

She looked at me with her big eyes, and after being silent for a long time, she stood up and said deeply to me: "I am willing to be sent by the eldest lady."

I hurriedly stretched out my hand to help her up, and when I saw her young and childlike eyes, but her eyes were already darkened, I felt sad, and I secretly made up my mind to treat Uncle Ai's granddaughter well!

Unexpectedly, although I was determined to treat Susu well to compensate her for losing her father when she was young, and now she has lost her only relative and is all alone, I never thought that if I kept her, she would definitely be the one to take care of me.<

/p>

After finishing the dojo in Qishan Village, on the first day she returned home, she rolled up her sleeves and tidied up the house inside and outside. I had already received a large gift from Uncle Ai, and the corresponding amount in money was only a little.

After she relaxed a little and gave Susu some money, she basically replaced the furniture with new ones.

Although this is a bit generous, the collection in the house is indeed much more orderly. She also specially hired someone to build a small room next to the back room for the goods piled on the small bed outside, which can be used to organize goods and tools such as embroidery racks that are not used in daily life.

The warehouse was packed in, and the small bed outside was vacated, and it naturally became her territory.

In the morning, Li'er and I were still sleeping soundly, but this girl had already gotten up and went to the small kitchen and was busy working in the kitchen. When I heard the noise and went out, steaming shredded chicken porridge and various side dishes were already placed on the table.

What a nimble girl!

I was so surprised that I walked out and said, "You did all this?!"

"Yes. Miss, I don't know your and Miss Sun's tastes, so I just made some. If you like something, tell me and I will make it again in the future."

I couldn't help but sigh: "It's too hard for you."

Susu put down a plate of side dishes and said, "Grandpa often said, what kind of person means what kind of hard work."

I was stunned.

This sentence is quite simple, but it contains many truths. Just like everyone has his own life, his own experience, and his own Shura field.

If she didn't work so hard, she would have had other difficulties. Life is like this.

Thinking of this, I also smiled. It happened that Li'er got up and finished washing. When he saw the dishes on the table, he immediately climbed up on the stool happily. Just as he picked up the bowl, he suddenly raised his little nose and sniffed: "Hmm.

, what a smell, it’s so fragrant!”

Susu said: "Miss Sun, I made walnut cheese for you."

"Walnut cheese! I haven't had it for a long time!"

Su Su said: "I'm afraid it's almost healed. I'll go watch the fire."

After saying that, she turned around and went to the kitchen.

I originally wanted to stop her and let her eat something first, but looking at her almost eager and busy back, I couldn't speak.

In fact, I know that after my loved one has passed away, she is completely empty now. She may have been a little numb in the first few days, but when she truly calms down, the loss and emptiness will become more and more obvious. If you are not busy and don’t find something,

Things come to fill up time and thoughts. This is when people’s sadness really begins and will devour them.

So, I didn't say anything, I just sat down and picked up the spoon and took a sip. The chicken porridge was cooked very well, the shredded chicken melted in your mouth, and the light onion and ginger flavor overflowed, making people feel particularly comfortable.

As I was drinking, I noticed that Li'er next to me was holding a bowl and looking at me while drinking.

In the past few days, because I was busy with Uncle Ai's funeral affairs, I had neglected her. Seeing her like this, I asked: "Li'er, what are you looking at mother for?"

Li'er took a big mouthful of porridge in his mouth, swallowed it, thought for a while, and said, "Mom, why is it not good to fight?"

I was stunned for a moment - how could she ask this question?

"Li'er, why are you asking mother this?"

"That day in front of the funeral, Li'er heard what my mother and sister Susu said, but Li'er couldn't understand it. But Li'er seemed to understand a little more."

"Oh? What did you understand?"

"Mom doesn't like fighting. Mom doesn't want people to fight."

I looked at her with interest: "You ask, is it because you think fighting is okay?"

She put the spoon against her lower lip, thought for a while, and said: "Mom, my father invited me to read books to me before. Aunt Ruoshi and Aunt Zitong also told me many stories, both of which were very old.

What a story."

"Then what?"

"Well, Li'er has heard a lot of war stories, a lot of heroes." She said with bright eyes: "Some heroes can lift mountains! Some heroes can sweep thousands of armies!"<

/p>

I couldn't help but smile. I couldn't tell that this little girl was still a nymphomaniac, so she was so excited when talking about a big hero.

"So?"

"So..." She looked at me and whispered: "Li'er thinks there is nothing terrible about fighting."

I laughed, picked up the chopsticks, put some scrambled eggs in her bowl, and said slowly: "Li'er thinks that heroes are powerful and sweeping thousands of armies is a very majestic thing, right? What if he

Sweeping thousands of troops and cutting off my mother’s head, what should I do?”

Li'er suddenly showed an expression of fear and looked at me with wide eyes.

I also looked at her: "This is war."

She was stunned. After a long while, she shook her head and murmured: "No. Mom, don't go to war!"

"Then," I said slowly, "the second uncle of the Zhao family is beheaded, is that okay?"

Li'er trembled again and immediately shook his head: "No! My second uncle is a good man. He came to help me catch fish the day before yesterday, and he also promised to make me a kite in the spring!"

"So, where's Aunt Yunxiang? Or Uncle Gou? And Xiaozhu from the village chief's house, or Dagang at the entrance of the village?"

As I said this, she shook her head vigorously: "No. None of them are going, and no one Li'er knows is going to fight!"

At this time, I smiled faintly and said: "Li'er, don't talk about war lightly just because the word 'war' is easy to pronounce. War is definitely not that simple. Do you think that sweeping thousands of armies is majestic?"

, Conquering a vast territory is very majestic, but those who fall after the majesty may be your relatives and the people you love."

"..."

"Maybe you think that Mom won't go to the battlefield because she's just a woman; the second uncle of the Zhao family won't go to the battlefield because he promised to help you make kites; Dagang won't go to the battlefield because he is only fourteen years old. But Mom

Let me tell you that when the war actually starts, no one can make the decision. Even if you think that a general or prince who leads thousands of armies and sweeps them away is still equal in the face of war."

"..."

"Taking a step back," I stroked her heart and said, "Even if we really don't go to the battlefield, do you think it won't matter?"

Li'er was already so frightened that even his voice was weak at this time, and he whispered: "Does it still matter?"

I smiled, took away all the vegetables and porridge on the table, leaving only a small bowl of porridge in her hand, and said: "When the war started, Li'er could only eat this little thing every day, and there was no chicken.

, there are no dishes. For lunch and dinner, there is only this small bowl."

"Ah? Why?"

I said: "Because of the war, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, and millions of soldiers no longer farm, no longer fish, no longer do anything, they only fight. But they still have to eat, dress, and consume a lot every day.

They no longer produce, so naturally we have to make more, eat less, and supply them."

Li'er's eyes widened and he said subconsciously: "I don't want it!"

"It's not okay if you don't want to. Because there is a war, they have to eat before they can go to war. If they don't have enough to eat, they will be killed. If you don't give it, they will have no choice but to rob us and steal our food. Mother and you

I don’t even have enough to eat, but I still have to pay the tribute.”

"Fu? What is it?"

"Fu characters, one shell and one weapon, are the money used for arming. We use this money to buy them clothes, war horses, weapons, walls and cities, and supply for war."

Li'er seemed a little angry after listening to it. After a while, he said: "It's really not good to fight. I don't even have enough to eat!"

As she said that, she raised the small bowl to her face, and while snoring, she took the remaining half of the bowl of porridge into her mouth. After eating it hard, she said to me: "Mom, it's better not to fight!"
p>

"Really?"

"Well, fighting is so bad!"

I smiled and reached out to wipe the rice grains from the corner of her mouth. In fact, I didn't want to scare her, but her status was too special, or maybe, I vaguely felt that there would always be wars that would involve us in the future, and I needed to let her

My daughter understands that war is terrible. The more senior people are, the less they should talk about war lightly. I said softly: "Li'er, you must remember that war is the worst evil thing in the world. Li'er, as long as we can

Whatever happens, we must try our best to stop and avoid war. Do you understand?"

She seemed to understand, but still nodded firmly: "Got it!"

I smiled and watched her climb off the stool after finishing her meal and enter the back room. When I looked up, I saw Susu holding a small bowl of walnut cheese and standing at the door without knowing it, looking at me in a trance.

I smiled and said: "Susu, what's wrong?"

She stared at me blankly, and after a while, she slowly came over, put the bowl on the table, and said softly: "I remembered something my grandpa once said to me."

"What words?"

"Miss, my grandfather often said that the eldest lady is a Bodhisattva; and you have a Bodhisattva heart."

Bodhisattva... Bodhisattva's heart...

I don't know what the difference is. I just think of Uncle Ai's voice and smile, and his constant care for me over the years, and a warmth rises in my heart. I smile softly at Su Su and put a bowl of hot porridge in my mouth.

Push it in front of her.
