Chapter 298
"How do I put it? The grass is soft! It's like you were playing on the haystack, jumped down, and got hurt?" Shen Hui'e said as she looked at them with clear eyes moving slightly.
"That's right!" The big tiger said, "The yellow soil is very hard."
"Ah! Then when spring comes, we..." The big insect stopped abruptly, "We can't step on wild vegetables, let alone crops." He sighed and said, "Then we can only learn carefully."
"That's right!" Shen Hui'e looked at them gently and said, "You are still young, don't worry, let your brothers practice first!"
"How are they doing in their studies?" Huang Zhongchang asked with concern.
"Not very good? It's our first time. It's good enough if we can sit steadily on the horse's back without our calves trembling." Shen Hui'e said with a smile.
"Haha..." The big tiger brother and sister also laughed.
"What are you laughing at?" Huang Zhongchang looked at them without quite understanding.
"My brothers are doing all kinds of tricks on horseback." The big insect laughed and covered his belly with laughter. "Oh, it's so funny."
"Cavalry is indeed difficult to train. It is even more difficult to achieve the state of unity between man and horse. It is not something that can be trained in a short period of time." Shen Hui'e said as she looked at them gently.
"What about you? Did you ride a horse?" Huang Zhongchang asked her curiously, tilting his head.
"I'm fine! I can ride and run." Shen Hui'e looked at him with her glassy eyes.
"Mom is so awesome." The big tiger said with admiration, his eyes full of stars.
"Yeah!" Upon hearing this, the cat slave nodded like a chick pecking at rice.
"How come you are so awesome?" Huang Zhongchang looked at her in surprise.
"I don't know. This is my first time riding a horse, too." Shen Hui'e relaxed her shoulders and looked at them. "Maybe because of the frequent training, your body is better than others." She raised her eyebrows and looked at him and said, "Have you never tried it?"
"No, no." Huang Zhongchang waved his hands in panic, "I'd better take the carriage!"
Don't show off your skills in front of an expert. You'll lose face. Huang Zhongchang complained in his heart.
"I have learned to drive a horse-drawn carriage." Huang Zhongchang said happily as he looked at them with a smile in his dark eyes.
"Didn't Yuanzi drive for you?" Shen Hui'e asked him with her black eyes flashing.
"He's driving! When there are fewer people, I'll learn from him!" Huang Zhongchang said with a grin, "I won't drive the car into the ditch."
"Hehe..." The big bug and the raccoon slave were so amused that they laughed.
"Don't laugh, this car is not that easy to drive." Huang Zhongchang said seriously.
"I know, I know." The big insect said with a smile, "Nothing is that easy."
"It's getting late, why don't you go out to bed?" Huang Zhongchang said to them with gentle eyes.
"Let's go wash up." The brother and sister jumped out of bed and walked out wearing cloth shoes.
They returned to their respective rooms, took their own wooden basins with toiletries in them, and went to the kitchen to fetch water for washing.

"Speaking of washing, it's convenient to take a bath in a wooden tub in the summer." Shen Hui'e placed the bamboo slips on the wooden table on the wooden box behind her.
Huang Zhongchang smiled bitterly and said, "We are a military camp here."
Shen Hui'e sat cross-legged, looked up at him and said, "What's wrong with the barracks? It's just like a big bunk bed, with wooden boards and rafters, and wooden barrels on the roof." She smiled and said, "From one in our family, we can have a row of them." She added with a curved eyebrow, "As for who gets the water, they will be punished! We can still train."
"You can't even take a break with that pointed bottom of the bucket." Huang Zhongchang looked at her with a puzzled look.
"That's right!" Shen Hui'e looked at him with deep and penetrating eyes and said, "It's clean and trained. The training is integrated into life. Men take showers very quickly. As for the construction, my comrades are all versatile. Use local materials!"
"We are next to the river here!" Huang Zhongchang said carelessly, "In the summer, we can just jump into the river."
"We are not far away from the city, so be careful." Shen Hui'e looked at him seriously and said.
"Is this still a military camp? Everyone is trained like gentlemen, and yet you are fighting a war?" Huang Zhongchang kindly reminded her.
"Is this a conflict?" Shen Hui'e looked at him with her innocent big eyes.
"Uh..." Huang Zhongchang was speechless for a moment.
"I don't want lice and fleas to surround me." Shen Hui'e said with disgust, "You want to be bitten! You can't even sleep peacefully."
"I don't like it!" Huang Zhongchang shook his head and scratched his head, "To be honest, I want to cut my hair short."
Shen Hui'e's eyes lit up when she heard that. "Great! Great! Short hair is refreshing and quick to wash."
"Isn't it strange to be different from others?" Huang Zhongchang said, touching his half-long hair.
"It's up to you to decide this." Shen Hui'e looked at him with her bright black eyes and said, this is an independent decision.
"As long as there are no lice or fleas, that's good." Huang Zhongchang scratched his head and smiled, "Just wash it more often."
"Take your time to think about it. I'll go wash up." Shen Hui'e carried the wooden basin out of the room.
After washing up, Shen Hui'e got into bed and said, "Remember to blow out the candles." She looked at him across the wooden table and said.
"I know!" Huang Zhongchang blew out all the candles in the room except one, took the wooden basin and went to wash up.
When he came back, his wife had fallen asleep. Huang Zhongchang sat on the edge of the bed, drying his wet feet, and looked through the wooden table at her peaceful sleeping face.
The eyelashes are thick and straight, casting a shadow on the delicate face.
Eh...why do I feel that this fierce woman has such a delicate and pretty face?
Huang Zhongchang shook his head violently. It was true that after facing her every day, even a sow would become a beauty. He clapped his feet, and when he noticed her frown, he quickly stopped.
It’s over, it’s over. How could I subconsciously care about her?
Sleep, sleep, there is a beautiful woman in my dream, huh!

As Shen Hui'e thought, there is no Chinese who doesn't like land, and now women can also own land, so no one will be unhappy.
Meimei got the land, and she got the house by drawing lots.
The huge construction site was gradually completed and spring ploughing began.
A year's plan begins in spring. With the new plow, you can cultivate the land with twice the result with half the effort!
After returning from suppressing the bandits, Shen Hui'e led her soldiers to start plowing the land. With strength in numbers, they soon plowed up all the ownerless fields.
He started to help the villagers plough the land. "General Shen, I don't understand. We plough the land for food and fodder. Why should we help the villagers to farm?"
"Yes, yes."
"We farm the land, those who carry hoes are farmers, and those who pick up swords and guns are soldiers." Shen Hui'e swept their deep and penetrating eyes over them, holding a large iron speaker in her hand and said, "For food and grass, you are right." She looked at them with a gentle gaze and said gently, "Why do you join the army?"
"It's okay to stutter."
"You guys aren't starving! I heard the military pay is pretty good."
"It sounds nice, but it's not true at all?"
“You keep your word!”
"You are good to me!"
"You helped me to avenge myself."
"The government army is recruiting soldiers, why don't you go?" Shen Hui'e asked them with her clear and bright eyes.
"Are those government troops? They are bandits!"
"You don't oppress us."
"Our land was redistributed to us, and we were also given houses!"
"Yes! They are also repairing houses and roads. For many years, this road has been flooded when it rains, and people have to wade through the water to walk on it. No one has ever cared about it."
"We are willing to follow you!"
Shen Hui'e smiled slightly and said, "Why do we join the army? What you said just now is all right! The most important thing is that we are not doing it all for ourselves, we are here to defend our homeland!" She pointed at herself and said, "It is just to let my parents, wife, and children live a stable life, to farm peacefully, and to produce more food."
"Now let me tell you why we should help the villagers to farm." Shen Hui'e looked at them warmly with her clear eyes and said, "At this time at home, are you going to farm in the fields?"
"Of course we planted it. During the busy farming season, the whole family would work together."
"Just think of it as farming for your parents." Shen Hui'e looked at them with her shiny black eyes and said, "I hope someone can help my parents. I am your comrade! It's not just on the battlefield, this is comrades."
Shen Hui'e looked at them with her deep, bright black eyes and said, "Do you want to plant this land?"
"Seed!" The shout shook the sky and broke through the clouds.
One by one, they pulled up the plow and began to plow the land.
"Let's go!" Shen Hui'e looked at the soldiers on both sides and said.
"Second..." Shen Penglai suddenly changed his words, "General Shen, you still have to go to the fields yourself! We are here! Why do we need you?"
"Lead by example." Shen Hui'e looked at them with her bright eyes and said, "It's not like I haven't farmed before."
"General Shen hates farming the most." Shen Penglai muttered softly.
"You little brat, you're exposing my shortcomings." Shen Hui'e raised her foot and looked at him unhappily, "Times are different now, we are all motivated to plant together." She smiled and said, "Can't I hold the plow?"
"I'll pull the plow." Huang Zhongchang walked into the field and picked up the hemp rope on the plow.
Shen Hui'e looked at him in surprise, "You?"
"Why not? I have been farming all this land before." Huang Zhongchang put the hemp rope on his shoulders, looked at her and said, "Are you not leaving?"
"Go, go, go!" Shen Hui'e said as she stepped forward and held the plow handle.
Shen Peng came over to them standing on the ridge of the field, watching the couple plowing the field, and said, "Let's go too!"
"I didn't expect you to come to pull the plow!" Shen Hui'e said with innocent eyes, looking at his strong back.
"I'm not a noble man. I was born in the mud!" Huang Zhongchang said frankly, "You are right. When we were young, we also hoped that someone would help my mother!" Without turning his head, he said, "In the end, no one helped. It's not that I didn't help, but I just didn't have the extra strength. I have the will but not the strength!"
"It's still about execution." Shen Hui'e looked at him with deep and penetrating eyes and said, "Good things must be carried forward and cannot be abandoned when people leave. We must resolutely carry them out to the end!"
