Fight the Giants

  Huo Nian's eyes were burning, and his eyes were full of curiosity.

  Huo Xi opened his mouth, then closed it again. Nian'er is still too young. She can't tell him yet that these are Nian'er's biological grandparents, and they are blood relatives.

"elder sister?"

Huo Xi regained consciousness, and while putting away the letter, said: "This is my sister and Nian'er's grandparents. Nian'er only needs to remember this. They love Nian'er, and they can't come to see Nian'er now, and Nian'er will come again in the future." When you are older, my sister will take you to see them."

   "Why can't they come and see Nianer?"

   "They are far away and cannot leave the place where they live. But we can visit them."

   "Why can't you leave where you live?"

  Huo Xi was stunned. Feeling that he had slipped his tongue, he said to Huo Nian very seriously: "Nian'er can't mention this matter to others, just remember it in your heart. Don't ask your parents, do you know?"

   Seeing her sister's serious expression, Huo Nian nodded seriously: "Nian'er knows, so don't tell anyone. Nian'er will keep it a secret."

  Huo Xi smiled and patted his head. Nian'er is really tight-lipped, he is a sensible child. So relieved.

  But this time Huo Nian is not like when he was a child, he is what his sister says. He can think.

  After thinking about it for a long time at night, I realized that my sister said, 'This is my sister and Nian'er's grandparents'. My sister forgot An An?

   They obviously go back to Yangjia Village every year to worship their grandparents, and now they have another grandparent. And did my sister forget An An, or was it just his and sister's grandparents?

  An An was born to a mother, he can see it. Only different mothers have different grandparents.

   Ah, isn't he and his sister born to a mother? Dad married two mothers?

  Huo Nian sat up from the bed in fright. His father married two women? Like Brother Shen, he was born to Uncle Shen's previous wife, and now Uncle Shen married Brother Shen Luo to another mother?

  His father also married two mothers?

  Huo Nian didn't sleep well all night, so he baked pancakes on the bed all night.

  Early the next morning, with dark eyes, Yang was startled, and hurriedly asked him what was the matter, asking him how he was, and when Huo Nian thought that this mother was not his mother, he felt uncomfortable and wanted to cry.

   Avoiding Yang Shi, she secretly ran to ask Huo Erhuai: "Father, did you marry two mothers?"

   Huo Erhuai was confused by the question.

  Thinking of this child attending Shen Qianzhong's wedding banquet a few days ago, I understand. Seeing his dark eyes, my heart aches for a while. Squeezed his face: "Father doesn't want to marry two mothers. Don't let your mother hear it!"

  Looking around, seeing that Mrs. Yang was not there, he let out a sigh of relief.

   "Father dare not marry two mothers, and never thought about it. Your mother is the best woman in the world, and it is enough for father to have only one of your mother in this life."

  He doesn't want to enjoy the blessing of being equal to others. Isn't it a good day now? I have to make a mess of my family.

  Huo Nian heard Huo Erhuai tell a story about him and his mother. His father joined the Yang family when he was only seventeen years old, and he never married a mother who died before him. He has only one wife.

   Then he only has one mother. Huo Nian let out a long sigh of relief. Now relieved, he happily went to the school with Mu Jie with his book bag on his back.

  I didn’t sleep well last night, and fell asleep on the desk between classes.

   Sleeping in a daze, I remembered what my sister said yesterday, saying that my grandparents can't come to see them, and they can't leave the place where they live.

  Will you be able to go where you want to go after opening the road guide? He has been to Songjiang several times with his sister.

  Huo Nian was in a trance all day.

  After school, I went to Qin's house to open a small stove, and couldn't help but ask Qin Changzhi: "Sir, what kind of person can't leave the place where he lives at will?"

Qin Changzhi explained patiently: "There are many people who cannot leave the place of residence at will. For example, the soldiers on the frontier, the soldiers of the various camps and guards, cannot leave the place of residence at will. There are also the princes and their descendants of the feudal country. If there is no imperial decree, they cannot leave the fief at will. There are also slaves of various clans, who cannot leave the place of residence without the permission of their masters. There are also prisoners who are exiled, and they cannot leave the place of exile at will... "

  The grandparents who wrote letters to him and his sister must not be slaves of others, nor royal family members.

   He is no longer a prisoner. They are all good people. So, are the grandparents who wrote the letter with him soldiers guarding the border or in the camp or guard?

  Wow, that must be it!

  He also needs to practice martial arts well, and he will find them in the future. In the future, like my grandfather and uncle, I will be a general who goes into battle to kill the enemy and defend the country!

  Huo Nian misunderstood just like that.

  Huo Xi suddenly discovered that every day when Huo Nian came back from the Qin family, the practice time became longer. I got up half an hour earlier in the morning, and very consciously practiced martial arts in the martial arts arena set up at home.

  On the day of Xiumu, he dragged Zhufeng to the library in the inner city, visited more than a dozen bookstores, and bought a lot of military books.

  Such as "The Seven Books of Wu Jing", "The Strange Strategies of Hundred Wars", "The Heart of the Art of War", etc. Some talked about military theory, some talked about military training, combat skills and tactics, coastal defense and frontier defense... Huo Xi was stunned.

  This...is it really a strong gene?

  The Zhang family's family of military generals started from the Wu Dynasty. In this dynasty, Zhang Fu and his son have made indelible contributions to the founding of the country and the establishment of the dynasty.

   That grandpa who looks strict, but every time he comes back from the outside, he will give her all kinds of delicious and fun grandfather, and he deserves to enjoy the Taimiao after his death.

   Taimiao is the family temple where the emperor paid homage to his ancestors. Only the emperor's direct lineage, or the emperor's relatives who have contributed to the country and the country are enshrined. The general royal relatives are not worthy of enshrining in the Taimiao.

  But her grandfather, as a minister who made great contributions to the country, was enshrined in the Taimiao after his death and enjoyed the treatment of the Taimiao.

  The three brothers Zhang Fu are also in the army.

  Now her brother is living in the market, here, does the blood of going to battle and killing the enemy flow in his blood?

   "Nian'er, don't you want to take the imperial examination and become a high-ranking official?" Huo Xi flipped through the military books he bought and asked casually.

Huo Nian nodded humbly: "Well, I want to take the imperial examination, and win the toad palace! But I also like to practice martial arts, and I like to listen to the stories of heroes on the battlefield. Sister, didn't you say that you have to prepare with both hands, in case I fail the exam in the future? For the imperial examination, I can still take the martial arts examination, and I also want to be a good talent with both civil and military skills."

  Uh...aspirational.

   "Then which one do you like best? You see, there are civil servants and military officials in the court. They are two different camps. You can't have everything."

  Huo Nian frowned, a little confused: "I like them all. I still don't know which one I like the most. Sister, I will learn both first, and choose in the future?"

   Well, well, you can learn as much as you like. Anyway, if he studies for another two years, Huo Xi will let him go to the academies in the capital. The academies teach six arts, including archery and imperial. It doesn't hurt to lay the groundwork early.

   Zhao Duo, who was arranged by Zhang Fu to teach Huo Nian, was pleasantly surprised to find that Huo Nian actually liked reading military books.
