Chapter 364 I am suddenly an uncle!

The first person to reject his words was Qiao Ran.

She knew very well that as her uncle was a great general of a country, there would be many people who would stare at the power in his hands and would like to pull him down.

Therefore, she refused:

"No need, uncle. The soldiers in your military camp eat military rations and receive royal pay. If they come to help us villagers, I'm afraid someone will make a fuss about it and cite you in front of the emperor. We can open up wasteland and build it ourselves. It’s the house, uncle, don’t worry.”

General Zheng was deeply moved when he saw his niece thinking about him so much.

After thinking about it, he said: "Then we won't send soldiers over. I'll ask Butler Zheng to transfer all the tenant farmers on the village to help open up wasteland. Then I'll find the best craftsmen, buy green bricks and tiles, and build the house as soon as possible." Build it up.”

Qiao Ran thought about it and realized that this was feasible.

She just wanted to reclaim the wasteland as soon as possible before spring plowing, so as not to miss this year's spring planting.

As for the house, she originally wanted to wait until everyone had some free time after finishing spring planting before building a house.

But now I think about it, there is a lot of rain in spring, so building a house will be very troublesome and delay the construction period. Moreover, if you live in a tent in spring, it will be inconvenient on rainy days.

The bottom of the tent couldn't stop the rainwater from flowing in. When it rained, the ground was covered with water.

At least the house can keep the water out, so the house won't be flooded with water.

If we could hire craftsmen to build a house now without delaying land reclamation, we might be able to live in a comfortable house after the spring planting.

Qiao Ran nodded: "Then please ask uncle to help find some trustworthy craftsmen, and also help us find some bricks and tile kilns. As for the money to buy bricks and tiles, we in the village will pay for it together. There is no need to let people come over to open up wasteland. We have almost completed the reclamation, and we will start spring plowing in a while. Your tenants on the farm will also start busy with spring plowing and sowing, so you don’t have to bother them running around."

The general was dissatisfied: "Ran Ran, why are you being so polite to your uncle? My uncle just wants to help you more so that you can live in a brick house as soon as possible and work without having to work too hard. Although our General's Mansion is not a rich family, we can raise a lot of people." You’re still totally fine.”

Qiao Ran said with a smile: "Uncle, I know you want to be nice to us. However, after all, this is a matter for the whole village, and I believe the people in the village are not willing to owe you so many favors. Don't worry, we people in the village really don't We were short of money, so we hunted a lot of game on the way, and we made a lot of money just by selling the tanned skins!"

General Zheng had no choice but to agree in the end. He would only help the people of Qingshui Village find a team of masons who specialized in building houses, and then the people of Qingshui Village would be responsible for the wages and the like.

The general thought, since Ran Ran refused artificial help, let people send more grain, meat and vegetables so that they can eat well and eat well.

At noon, Qiao Erhe and Qiao Sanhu led a few boys back to the camp before others.

Everyone in the village heard that a noble person was coming to the Qiao family, so they naturally urged them to go back to entertain the guests, but they insisted on working for a while before coming back.

When several people stepped into the tent, the general and his wife could tell at a glance which one was their nephew.

Sure enough, among the three children, Qiao Ran probably looked more like her father, Qiao Dajiang, while Qiao Dong and Qiao Bei looked more like their mother.

Qiao Bei is still young, so it's not so obvious yet.

Qiao Dong, who is already 12 years old, looks so similar to Chen Huiniang that the general recognized his nephew at a glance.

"Dong'er!"

General Zheng's excited greeting stunned Qiao Dong, who had just entered the tent.

The general had already walked up quickly, hugged the nephew who was meeting him for the first time, and looked around excitedly.

"Resembling! So similar! You look so much like your grandma!"

Qiao Dong was hugged by a stranger, with a puzzled look on his face. Just as he was about to struggle out, the general let him go, patted him on the shoulder generously, and laughed happily:

"What a boy! He's grown so tall! Not bad! Really good!"

"His!"

Qiao Dong's left shoulder was half shortened by this powerful slap.

Baring his teeth, Qiao Dong turned to his mother and sister with doubtful eyes and asked what was going on.

Qiao Erhe and others were also confused. What happened to this man? Didn’t he say he was a great general? Aren't they the parents of the little girl that Ran Ran saved in the restaurant in the city? What does it mean to be so warm to Dong'er at this meeting?

Chen Huiniang saw that her son had a puzzled look on his face, while her brother was only happy and did not introduce himself. She couldn't help but shook her head in amusement, feeling speechless for her brother, a general.

She stepped forward and explained to her son: "Dong'er, this is your uncle. General Zheng is my mother's brother, that is, your biological uncle. Please call me uncle or aunt."

"what?"

The few people who had just returned were stunned.

"Sister-in-law, are you telling the truth? The general is your biological brother and the biological uncle of Ranran, Dong'er and Bei'er?"

Qiao Erhe asked excitedly, and Qiao Sanhu also looked in disbelief, looking at his wife for confirmation.

They all knew that the sister-in-law was not Mrs. Chen's biological child, but was kidnapped from Fucheng.

But I didn’t expect that my sister-in-law’s mother-in-law’s family would actually be in the capital, and they would be the dignified General’s Mansion!

Lin Guizhen nodded towards her husband.

Chen Huiniang also replied: "It's true."

Qiao Erhe and Qiao Sanhu couldn't help but smile, and were sincerely happy for their sister-in-law, niece, Dong'er and Bei'er.

Although the eldest brother is gone, the eldest sister-in-law has found her natal family, and the four of them, mother and son, have several more relatives, and they will no longer have to endure hardships in the future!

Qiao Dong received his mother's confirmation. Although he was still a little confused for a moment, he obediently shouted: "Uncle!"

Then he called to the general’s wife: “Auntie!”

"Hey!"

"Hey!"

Both couples responded happily.

Taking Xiao Lan'er and Qiao Xing Qiao Yue, holding the little white tiger and two little rabbits in their arms, they played outside for a long time with their friends. Qiao Bei, who had just come back, also shouted: "Uncle! Aunt! "

Qiao Xing and Qiao Yue didn't understand what was going on. Seeing their brothers shouting, they also shouted: "Uncle! Auntie!"

"Hey!"

"Hey! You guys are so good!"

The generals responded with all their might, and the others couldn't help but laugh.

He picked up the little nephew who ran over and looked at the three children his sister had given birth to. The general really liked them very much.

I never expected that I would suddenly become an uncle!

Moreover, he is also the uncle of three children!

This happiness came so suddenly that it made him feel dizzy.

When Qiao Bei and Xiao Lan'er figured out the situation, Qiao Bei happily said to Lan'er: "Sister! You are really my sister! I am your cousin and you are my cousin!"

"Great! I have a brother and sister too! Sister Ran, can I come and play with you more often in the future?"

Xiao Lan'er, who was over two years old, was naturally very happy when she heard the news.

She also has cousins! And, there are three!

She was no longer a poor little girl playing alone in a big house with only her mother and servants to accompany her and no playmates!

From now on, she can often come to play with Sister Ran and Brother Bei!
