Skillful Wife of Military - C14

Xiao Dazong hurried over. Xu Hui said in a low voice, “I told Milkman that I wanted to prepare some food, but since Milkman forbid it, I bought some cakes and pickles from the neighboring house. I also made a pot of hot soup. How about this?”

“Sure, it’s all thanks to your consideration!” He had never thought that his family would go so far. If his wife didn’t buy food from another family, how would he still have the face to continue looking for people to help him out tomorrow?

Xiao Dazong called for the kids to come over for dinner. When he saw that the students were staring at Xu Hui, he felt a little sour inside and let Xu Hui in. He brought out the tables and dishes himself and the rest of them squatted on the ground outside, eating and drinking.

The students were all envious that Xiao Dazong had a good wife. Xiao Dazong was very proud of himself, but he didn’t want them to talk about his wife, so he didn’t reply. He only ordered them to eat and drink before sending them off.

When it was time for him to go to bed again, Xu Hui was worried that Xiao Da Yong would make trouble again. However, after kissing him and regretting that he had to get up early to work, he laid down and prepared to sleep.

Xu Hui let out a sigh of relief, looking at the Niuniu that she had specially carried onto the brick bed just in case Xiao Dayong lost his way, she couldn’t help but find it funny. Compared to a honest guy like Xiao Dazong, she’s really a bit petty, thinking of nothing else but himself. Xu Hui reassured herself while lying on her pillow. After all, this body was still too young, only fourteen years old. If Xiao Dayong was really good, it would not be too late for them to be husband and wife.

Xiao Dayong had experienced too many things today and his mind was in a mess. Even though his body was very tired, he still couldn’t sleep very well. He felt both miserable and inferior. He had married such a good wife, but he couldn’t let his wife live a good life with him. He had just arrived at the door when he had to spend his dowry silver; would his wife look down on him because of this?

Xiao Da Yong turned to Xu Hui and realized that his wife was still awake. He thought for a moment and said, “My wife, I, I, I will definitely make more money in the future. You, don’t worry!”

Xu Hui looked at Xiao Dayong in surprise. She was not worried at all, because she did not expect to rely on him to live her life. Whether it was in ancient times or modern times, women would have to live their own lives in order to live better. However, Xu Hui touched Xiao Dayong’s words, and then looked at his expression and came to a realization. Could it be that this guy felt uncomfortable because he had lost face?

Xu Hui could not help but exclaim, “You’re too awesome!” She thought that these so-called martial arts were all lies. She never expected that she would actually see them again!

Xiao Da Yong’s feeling of inferiority was suddenly gone. He was actually praised by his wife. Xiao Da Yong was overjoyed, and he couldn’t help but tell Xu Hui about his life in the Camp. The way he used the stone to extinguish the lights was actually learned from the people of the Camp.

When Xiao Da Yong mentioned that the Commander Lin wanted to promote him to become a personal guard, Xu Hui suddenly realized something he had neglected: Xiao Da Yong could not read!

Thinking about it, it made sense. Whether it was in ancient times or modern times, reading books was extremely expensive. Take the Xu family for example. From the old patriarch’s village to the many famous families and families, it took hundreds of years of accumulation and accumulation before a large number of scholars arrived. However, not everyone in the Xu family was able to become a High Scholar and become a High Scholar. If the Jiang Prefecture was so rich, then it would be even more difficult to study in this desolate land of the Ming Prefecture.

In order to learn how to read, it would take decades of hard work. Until the result of the exam, the family would have to pay a large price to support the student, which was why a family would often have to put in a large amount of effort in order to produce a scholar. A normal family would not have the ability to support their child to read and write. Only someone like the Xiao Family who was willing to put in so much effort to cultivate Xiao He, would be able to do so with Xiao He’s innate ability to read and with the strong support of the Xiao Pao and the Xiao Li’s disease.

As someone who was considered a cannon fodder by his family, it was reasonable for him to be unable to read. However, being unable to read was a huge hindrance to his future development.

Since ancient times, there had been many generals from the Humble Class, but not a single one of them could not read a single word. If they could not read a single word, how would they look at the army blueprints, how would they issue orders, how would they be generals if they could not even understand a secret letter?

It was true that martial artists were rough people, and that their knowledge was poor. However, they were definitely not illiterate people who could not recognize a single word.

What kind of leader did Xiao Da Yong have to be in the front line of Camp? He must be brave, but because he couldn’t read, it was too difficult to increase his rank. Just like he said himself, because he couldn’t read, no matter how much the field officer valued him, he couldn’t make him become a personal soldier. Not only that, the higher he went, the higher the requirement was for him to be able to read.

Xu Hui looked at Xiao Dayong. If she taught him how to read military books, would his future be better? Would it be easier for him to get rid of his family’s military records than it would be for him to get his own family’s wealth?

Xiao Dazong saw Xu Hui’s expression change when she heard that Xu Hui did not become her janissary, and she could not help but worry for him. He had never felt that she was lacking before. In the vanguard camp, everyone was a brother who ate and lived together with each other on the battlefield to kill the barbarians.

But now, when he married his wife, it was like a poverty-stricken person suddenly picking up a lump of gold. No matter where he put it, he felt uneasy. When he was together with his wife, he couldn’t help but worry that his wife wouldn’t like him.

In Xiao Da Yong’s heart, such a beautiful and good-natured daughter-in-law could marry a general, but he was just a nobody, and his family was the same. The more he thought about it, the more depressed Xiao Da Yong became.

Xu Hui finished her calculations and decided to teach Xiao Da Yong how to read. If Xiao Da Yong had really achieved military merits and could read and become a military officer, his family’s military records would be greatly enhanced. Even if Xiao Da Yong could not become a military officer, he would slowly think of ways to help his family get rid of their military records; it was just a waste of effort. As for how much he would benefit from this, it all depended on luck. However, it was not a big deal and he would not lose anything. Xu Hui thought it would be fine to give it a try.

In the end, he saw that Xiao Da Yong’s expression was ugly. Xu Hui could not help but think deeply and see through Xiao Da Yong’s thoughts. He then asked with a smile, “Why are you unhappy?” “Is there something on your mind?”

Xiao Da Yong’s expression changed. He shyly waved his hand and said, “No, I don’t have anything on my mind. I just feel that I have wronged you!”

“What nonsense are you talking about? We are husband and wife now, husband and wife should share hardships and hardships together. We must live a lifetime. If you feel wronged, then treat me well in the future!” Xu Hui took the initiative to shake Xiao Dayong’s hand. Now that Xiao Dayong had become a potential investor in her eyes, the treatment was naturally different.

Xiao Dayong’s body trembled as he puffed out his chest and said, “If I don’t treat you well in the future, I’ll give you a good beating.” He was about to continue his oath when Xu Hui stuck out two fingers and stuffed them into his mouth.

Xu Hui did not believe a man’s oath. If the oath could be kept, even a sow would climb a tree. People might not be sincere when swearing, but the oath would change with time and environment. She believed that Xiao Da Yong’s vow was from the bottom of her heart, but this vow was too weak and fragile. Xu Hui only wanted this man to become famous and help his family get rid of their military record.

Xiao Dazong looked at Xu Hui’s bright and beautiful face and her heart trembled. An indescribable emotion filled his entire chest, and even his hands began to tremble. The young man swore to herself that she would never let down the man in front of him!

Xu Hui felt her fingers touching her lips and felt hot. She quickly put down her hand and said, “You don’t have to swear, I will believe you. You will be going back to the military camp in two days and you can’t go home often. If you’re not tired, let’s talk for a while.”

Xiao Da Yong hurriedly nodded, he was also unwilling to part with his wife so quickly, but with the army’s order, he was about to go to war. It was already difficult for the Commander Lin to give him a few days’ leave. In the past, he wouldn’t even be able to stay home for a few days. Although Niuniu was close to him, she was still a little kid, and other than bringing sugar back to him, he didn’t know how to take care of her. Since he didn’t have much to talk about with his family, it was better to stay at home with the Camp brothers. But this time, he really couldn’t bear to leave!

Xu Hui lowered his head and said softly, “If you go back to the Camp, what can I do for you?”

“You can send me a message or write a letter. Our Commander Lin will help us read the letter!”

“But that’s something I want to tell you in private. What does it sound like to others?”

“Then what do you think we should do? I can’t read. ”

How about I teach you how to read, so that you can read my letters to you and you can write back to me, I will know if you are doing well in Camp, and if you lack anything, I will find someone to send it to you! Xu Hui told her her purpose. She wanted Xiao Dayong to learn how to read. Since he was only nineteen, it was not too late for him to slowly learn.

Xiao Dayong was stunned for a moment. He had never thought of reading before, but when he saw Xu Hui looking at him expectantly, thinking of how she would receive the whispered words from his wife in the future, her heart warmed up and she puffed out her chest, “Then, I’ll learn. My wife, you’ll teach me?”

“Of course I’ll teach you. Third Uncle is busy with exams, how can he have the time to teach you?” If you’re not sleepy, let’s start now. I’ll teach you how to write your own name! ”

When he was young, he had always been curious about how to read and write, but Third Uncle just didn’t want to bother with him. Every time he walked over to his wife, he would either be scolded by his grandma or despised by Third Uncle. It was great now. His wife was teaching him so enthusiastically, and thinking of how his wife’s family were all scholars, he must study hard and not lose face for his wife.
