The next day, the Governor's Mansion also received a battle report from the front line. Seeing the news that Taoke Taohu had been killed, Xu Shichang immediately laughed and cheered.
I really didn’t see the wrong person!
Commendation!
Must be commended!
However, the boy 'Zhu Chuanwen' is already the commander of the front patrol battalion. If he is promoted again, he may cause criticism. After all, this boy's age is a flaw.
After thinking for a moment, Xu Shichang decided to temporarily suppress this credit. It would not be too late to award rewards after the grassland was cleared. Considering the level of chaos in the grassland, it would take a year or two to calm down.
With a buffer of one to two years, it will not be so abrupt to promote 'Zhu Chuanwen' when the time comes.
However, a promotion is a promotion, a reward is a reward, and Taoke Taohu was captured in less than two months after the expedition. With such military exploits, it would definitely not work if the court did nothing.
"Ten thousand years!" Xu Shichang reached out to summon his staff and ordered: "Inform Governor Tang to come to my place."
About half an hour later, Tang Shaoyi hurried to the study.
Xu Shichang recruited Tang Shaoyi mainly to discuss how to reward the patrol camp on the road ahead. After half an hour of discussion, the two agreed that it was best to send people to Taonan first, on the one hand to reward the patrol camp, and on the other hand to Verify battle reports.
That night, the informant in the Governor's Mansion sent back the news that Xu Shichang was about to send people to the front line to labor.
This news immediately disrupted Li Jie's original plan. Originally, he was planning to return to Yuanbao Town, but now this trip may have to be postponed.
Otherwise, if the laborers go to the front line and find that the commander is not there, unnecessary trouble will definitely arise.
In the blink of an eye, a week passed, and Li Jie and the special envoy arrived at the camp almost in tandem. Of course, Li Jie was on the front foot and the special envoy was on the back foot.
The special envoy sent by the Governor-General's Office was Xu Shichang's staff. As the saying goes, the seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister's door. Although Xu Shichang was not the prime minister, in the three eastern provinces, he was more awesome than the prime minister, and he was like a local emperor.
Therefore, Li Jie gave the other party enough face for the arrival of the special envoy.
Three days later, the envoy left the front line satisfied.
I came with empty hands and came back with a lot of money. I’m not happy!
Not long after the special envoy left, Li Jie also left the front line.
…
…
…
Yuanbao Town, Fangniugou.
As the sun sets, streaks of smoke rise from the roofs of each house. In the courtyard, Wen's mother is cooking and looking up from time to time in the direction of the door.
However, after waiting and waiting, he never saw the scene he was looking forward to. After a long time, Wen's mother couldn't help but muttered.
"It's been a few days, why haven't you come back yet?"
Zhu Kaishan, who was sitting in the courtyard and smoking a cigarette, moved his ears and vaguely heard the sound coming from the kitchen. He turned back to look at Wen Ta Niang and asked.
"My dear, what are you mumbling about?"
Seeing Zhu Kaishan's heartless look, Wen's mother couldn't help but get angry. If Zhu Kaishan hadn't promised to "pass on Wen" to get some security team, the children would never be home all day long.
Life is getting better now, but they are separated. The eldest brother is fine and knows to go home occasionally. The second son Chuanwu doesn't know what homesickness is and hasn't been back for half a year.
Mother Wen got angrier as she thought about it and glared at Zhu Kaishan fiercely.
"It's all your fault! If you hadn't promised to teach martial arts, why would this child not come home every day?"
Zhu Kaishan didn't take it seriously when he heard this, and replied carelessly: "As a man, you should go out and have a try. What's the point of staying at home every day?"
have to!
have to!
have to!
Suddenly, there was a sound of horses neighing outside the door. When Wen's mother heard the sound, she didn't bother to argue with Zhu Kaishan. She immediately dropped the spatula in her hand and ran out of the courtyard with small steps.
After leaving the yard, Wen's mother saw Li Jie's figure, and her eyes suddenly turned slightly red. However, although she was very happy in her heart, she still complained on the surface.
"Boss, why did you come back?"
Li Jie turned over and dismounted, and replied with a smile: "I was delayed for a few days because of something. No, as soon as the matter was done, I rushed back without stopping."
Mother Wen stretched her neck and looked back. When she found that only Li Jie came back this time, her eyes dimmed and she said.
"Where is Chuanwu? Why didn't you come back this time?"
"There's something going on in the army and I can't get away."
Li Jie didn't say that Chuanwu went to Taonan to suppress bandits, otherwise, Wen's mother would definitely not be able to help but think wildly.
Wen's mother said angrily: "Something happened! Something happened! It's the same excuse every time!"
Seeing this scene, Li Jie could only apologize.
"Brother Chuanwen!"
Fortunately, Xian'er's crisp voice came from the door. When Wen's mother saw her daughter-in-law coming, she immediately gave up scolding and left the scene to the two juniors.
Over the past few years, Xian'er has become more and more charming and lovable. At the same time, more than two years of experience in the business world have given her an air of a strong woman.
"I'm back."
Li Jie opened his arms, and Xian'er consciously stepped forward to hug him. Smelling the familiar smell, Xian'er's lips couldn't help but evoke a happy smile.
'Brother Chuanwen's embrace is still so warm. '
The two shared a moment of tenderness and walked into the house hand in hand.
Seeing the shy look on her daughter-in-law's face, Wen's mother secretly thought, her eldest grandson should be born this year, right?
After all, 'Zhuan Wen' had promised her with a pat on his chest that as soon as Xian'er passed her twentieth birthday, the couple would start having children.
During the subsequent dinner, Wen's mother sent secret signals to Li Jie from time to time. Although she did not speak clearly, the meaning was obvious, and the other party's eyes clearly meant what she said.
'Don't forget what you promised! '
Looking at Wen Tama who was eager to repay her grandson, Li Jie could only smile helplessly.
However, he is indeed planning to have a child.
In recent years, he and Chuanwu have been unable to return home several times throughout the year due to matters at the patrol camp, and the same is true for Chuanjie.
With Li Jie's support, Chuanjie's business talent was fully activated, and his business has grown bigger and bigger in the past two years.
As the business scale increases, the energy involved will naturally increase.
Therefore, Chuanjie has rarely stayed at home in the past two years.
After this calculation, the only people who often stay at home are Zhu Kaishan, Wen Ta's mother, and their daughter-in-law Xian'er. However, Xian'er can only count half of it because she also has her own career and usually only has half of her salary in a month. Time to stay at home.
This was still under Xian'er's deliberate control. If Xian'er let go of her business, she would definitely not have that much time to stay at home with her couple.
But Xian'er was filial and couldn't bear to see the two old people at home, so she just put down her career and often stayed in Fangniugou.
