On a cold day, it’s most comfortable to take a nap at home.

It's just that Gu Jinli took a long nap today, and it was already dark when he got up.

There was an iron lampstand in the room, with nine lamps burning on it, which illuminated the inner room very brightly. As soon as she opened her eyes, she could see Qin Sanlang sitting on the kang, writing something.

Although she only saw a side face, it made her feel at ease. When she wanted to raise her hand to pull him, Qin Sanlang had already turned back to look at her and said with a smile: "Xiaoyu is awake."

"Well, what time is it?" Gu Jinli asked.

"It's still early, there are still three quarters of an hour before Xu time, it's time for us to have dinner." Qin Sanlang put down his pen, turned around and got into bed, hugged her and said, "Xiao Pingxi won't come over for dinner tonight, don't worry Xiaoyu."

He asked her again: "Are you still tired? But do you feel uncomfortable?"

Gu Jinli's face became hot when he asked him, "I'm not tired, I'm just weak and can't work up my energy."

Qin Sanlang laughed when he heard this, his eyes became hot when he looked at her, he kissed her and said, "Xiaoyu is the most attractive at this time."

Her face was crimson and her body was limp. Just one look at it made his heart warm.

Gu Jinli was about to go crazy and glared at him: "Don't say anything. If you say anything else, I'll chop you. There's a knife under my pillow!"

Qin Sanlang: "Okay, let's not talk anymore. Are you hungry? Let's eat. Let's eat mutton pot tonight to warm up."

The mutton was in the batch of supplies sent by Xu Liu. After the drug test was put aside for a few days, it could be eaten.

Gu Jinli felt a little distressed when he heard this: "Why have you started eating mutton? Let's save it for the New Year."

"Don't worry, these are what the little fish should eat." Qin Sanlang took the clothes and put them on for her. After putting them on, he hugged her and said, "Little fish, wait a little longer, I will let her You can live a peaceful and prosperous life where you can eat and drink as much as you like, without having to put a knife under your pillow."

Gu Jinli smiled, hugged him and said, "Well, I'll wait. You don't have to be too anxious. We are still very young. We will live this kind of life before we are thirty."

After saying that, she didn't want him to feel guilty again, so she pushed him and said, "Let go quickly, I'm hungry and I have to go eat."

"Okay, let's go eat." Qin Sanlang understood what she meant and without saying anything more, he picked her up and went to the outer room to eat on the kang.

The mutton stew is really delicious, and it also contains frozen tofu. The frozen tofu absorbs enough of the mutton soup. When you take a bite, the rich umami flavor fills your mouth. It is really satisfying.

Gu Jinli was almost full. He lay in Qin Sanlang's arms and said with his eyes closed, "It would be great if people could have two stomachs. This way, they can eat more without feeling full."

Qin Sanlang laughed out loud and rubbed her belly: "It is indeed a greedy little fish."

Speaking of being greedy for fish, he recalled his dream of fishing. He looked at Gu Jinli's belly and said, "Xiaoyu, the Chinese New Year is coming soon. You will be very busy recently, but you don't have to do things yourself. Instruct Grandma Tao, Aunt Yan and the others can just do it... Xiaoyu should take care of himself."

Gu Jinli noticed that he was gentler in rubbing his belly and understood what he meant: "I will be careful. I checked my pulse when menstruation is approaching. You don't have to worry."

Thinking that the Chinese New Year was coming soon, he asked again: "Should we give New Year's gifts to Cousin Yu and Brother Luo? My nephew has been born for several months, and we haven't given him a meeting gift yet."

Last time, the couple carefully packed a gift and prepared it for Luo Ying to take back to his nephew. However, Luo Ying suddenly left Xing'an Mansion and their gift failed to reach Luo Ying.

Qin Sanlang also wanted to give a gift to his nephew, but said: "Wait a little longer, we can't contact Brother Luo now to avoid being discovered."

The most important thing now is to build the guardhouse first.

"This is a picture drawn by Uncle Yu, Xiaoyu, take a look." Qin Sanlang gave her a drawing, which is a map of the tunnel from Changliang Wei to Tianhuai Village.

The guard house is full of women and children, and there will be a big battle between them and the soldiers. If a fight breaks out, once they are pushed back thirty miles by the soldiers, the women and children in the guard house will be in great danger.

Even if the women and children could retreat before the war started, if soldiers and bandits raided the guard post while he was patrolling the guard post with his troops, how would he protect the women and children?

The more Qin Sanlang thought about it, the more he became afraid, fearing that Xiaoyu would be in danger when he was no longer around, so he finally decided to dig this tunnel.

If the guardhouse is raided by soldiers, Xiaoyu can immediately escape from the tunnel with the women and children. Layers of iron doors and traps will be set up in the tunnel to block the enemy and ensure that they can escape.

Gu Jinli looked at the drawings, nodded and said: "Yes, Uncle Yu is a powerful person...Xu Liu has already checked the guardhouse and Tianhuai Village, so he won't doubt anything. Let's start digging after the green bricks are fired. "

Digging tunnels will unearth a lot of soil, and firing green bricks can consume the excavated soil.

And Uncle Yu is Master Lu. He did this kind of work when he was with Father Qin. If you leave it to him, everything will be fine.

Qin Sanlang saw that Gu Jinli was a little tired, so he put away the drawings and let her drink half a cup of digestive tea. Then he picked her up and walked to the back room: "Go to sleep."

"Yeah." Gu Jinli nestled in his arms and closed his eyes.

Qin Sanlang smiled and carried her to the fire bed. After covering her with a quilt, he hugged her and watched her sleep... He liked to watch Xiaoyu sleeping. Every time he saw her sleeping soundly, he would Very reassuring.

The couple was happy, but Xu Liu was miserable.

Xu Liu led his people back to the Daokougou camp, and was happily going to see Xu You, wanting to please his father, but what he saw was Xu You's darkened face.

With a bang, Xu You slapped the table and said angrily: "Kneel down!"

Xu Liu was startled and his eyes were red: "Dad, what's wrong? But did Xiao Liu do something wrong?"

Xu You scolded angrily: "You still know that you have done something wrong? Let me ask you, why did you rush into the big port guard on horseback? That is the defense post guarded by your Uncle Jiang. If you rush in like this, it is tantamount to Slapping him in the face!”

Do you think you broke into the port guard and trampled on Xie Cheng's face? What you are breaking into is Jiang Wankang's door, and what you are doing is Jiang Wankang's face!

When Xu You was angry, Xu Liu was usually very obedient and would quickly kneel down to admit his mistake, but this time he didn't. Instead, he talked back: "Dad is a marquis and the leader of the armies in the northwest. Who does Jiang Wankang mean? I just broke into one of his guardhouses..."

Snapped!

Before Xu Liu finished speaking, he was slapped by Xu You.

Xu You was going crazy. He pointed at Xu Liu and said, "Guizi, do you know what you are talking about?!"

Lowering his voice again, he said: "I have taught you that you cannot put on airs in front of Jiang Wankang or say slanderous words about him. Even if you are dissatisfied with him, you must respect him as much as I do. When the Xu family is truly successful, you can You became arrogant in front of him, have you forgotten these words?"

Xu Liu was pampered by Xu You and grew up. When he was slapped for the first time, he was stunned. His eyes turned red, with a hint of ferocity. He wanted to rush over and hit Xu You, but he remembered that this was his father, so he could His biological father, who inherited the title, could not take action, otherwise he would be finished!

Xu Liu resisted the urge to hit Xu You, but in the end he endured it too much and fainted without taking a breath.
