Chapter 55 Becoming a Grandfather
Yang Zhengshan nodded slightly and looked up at the hundred soldiers in front of him.

"How have you been doing during this time?"

He stepped forward and asked in a strong voice.

"You tell me!" He pointed at a thin young man.

"Your Excellency is so kind. We have had enough to eat and sleep well during this period!" the man said with full energy.

It's not about eating well and sleeping well.

There is enough food, how can they not be full?

You work hard all day long, and sleep like a dead pig as soon as you hit the pillow at night. How can you not sleep well?
Compared with half a month ago, although these people were still wearing tattered clothes, their mental outlook and physical condition were completely different.

The originally sallow face became rosy, and the originally lifeless appearance was filled with vitality and vigor.

Although they are still thin, they are no longer as weak and skinny as before.

"Do you want to be able to eat well and sleep well in the future?" Yang Zhengshan asked again.

"miss you!"

Yang Zhengshan's lips curled up slightly, "Then train me well!"

"From today, the one-month basic training officially begins!"

"I only ask one thing of you, and that is to obey orders!"

"If I tell you to lie down, you must not stand up. If I tell you to run, you must not stop!"

"I tell you to move forward. Even if there are mountains of swords and seas of fire ahead, you have to wade through it!"

"Obeying orders is the bottom line that you must never cross!"

"Do you understand?"

"Understood!" a group of people shouted at the top of their lungs.

In fact, they didn't know why they had to obey orders. They shouted "I understand" just because it was a habit formed during this period, because every time Yang Chengze and others talked about something, they would ask them if they understood. They had to answer loudly every time. If their voices were not loud enough, Yang Chengze and others would ask several times.

Yang Zhengshan nodded in satisfaction, then walked back to the government office and said to Yang Mingzhi and Yang Mingwu, "Let's start training!"

These soldiers are different from the young and strong men in Yangjia Village.

At that time, Yangjia Village was facing the threat of Hu cavalry. Yang Zhengshan aroused the warlike spirit of the young and strong men with the belief of protecting his parents, wife and children.

But for now, these soldiers do not need to face any threats, and they do not have much sense of belonging to Linguan Fort.

So Yang Zhengshan could only force them to obey orders.

Let them engrave the idea of ​​obeying orders in their bones, so that when they hear the orders, they will not have any thoughts or hesitations, but will instinctively carry out the tasks.

The training began, Yang Mingzhi and Yang Mingwu led them to start training in units of small flags.

Yang Zhengshan formulated a strict training plan for them.

Have a clear schedule every day.

From dawn until sunset, the schedule is fully arranged. Yang Zhengshan even made a plan for night training, but this will have to wait for some time before it can be carried out.

Of course, this day is not all about physical training. They also have to spend an hour every day reading and learning to read, and half an hour doing housework.

That's right, it's housework.

Students need to tidy up their housework during military training. This is not a school, and the people receiving training are not students. They have families here, so Yang Zhengshan asked them to tidy up their housework.

He wanted to make the entire Linguan Fort tidy and tidy, and even in the homes of these military households, no mess was allowed.

The weather in May has become hot, especially at noon, when the scorching sun hangs in the sky, spreading heat waves wantonly, making all the soldiers sweat profusely.

But they still stood there motionless, like wooden stakes.

Around the training ground, many elderly, weak, women and children were watching. They were all confused and dissatisfied with this kind of training.

Perhaps in their eyes, this kind of training is torture.

It was just that due to Yang Zhengshan's authority, they did not dare to express their dissatisfaction.

Yang Zhengshan would not explain it to them. They might not understand it now, but Yang Zhengshan believed that they would understand it after a while.

What's more, he guaranteed that there would be enough food. Based on this alone, I believe they would not dare to raise any different opinions.

Yang Zhengshan seemed to walk unintentionally to the place where the soldiers were drinking water and poured a bowl of spiritual spring water into the bucket.

Then he walked slowly back to the study.

The sun is so bright, there is no need for him to bask in it.

When it is time to slack off, we should slack off, because we are the officials of the Tunbu.

Hiding in the study and drinking tea, Yang Zhengshan took out a travel book and started reading.

As a result, before he finished his pot of tea, Yang Minghao rushed in.

"Dad, Dad~~"

The loud voice frightened Yang Zhengshan so much that he shivered and the tea in his hand spilled all over his pants.

Fortunately, the tea was not so hot that it burned my body.

"You are calling the soul!"

Yang Zhengshan yelled angrily. Yang Minghao, who rushed in, froze when he saw the angry look on his face.

"Dad, there's good news!"

"What good news?" Yang Zhengshan asked, wiping the tea off his trousers.

"You're going to be a grandfather!"

"Grandpa?" Yang Zhengshan didn't react for a moment.

"My eldest sister has given birth!" Yang Minghao reminded again.

Yang Zhengshan came back to his senses and asked, "When was she born?"

"Five days ago!"

Yang Minghao grinned and handed the letter in his hand to Yang Zhengshan.

Yang Zhengshan opened the letter and started reading.

The letter was written by Yang Mingcheng and brought by the Lu family’s caravan.

Mainly talked about four things.

Everything was fine in the first family, so Yang Zhengshan didn't have to worry.

Second, Yang Yunyan gave birth to a big fat boy, and Yang Zhengshan became a grandfather.

Third, Yang Mingcheng will accompany Lu Wenyuan to Jing'an Prefecture to participate in this year's prefectural examination.

Fourth, Mrs. Li is pregnant. She has been pregnant for more than two months. Their Yang family is going to have another baby.

Yang Zhengshan looked at the contents of the letter and was a little confused.

Not only did he become a grandfather, but he was going to be a grandfather again?
Is Li pregnant again?

Yang Chengmao is almost two years old, so it is normal for Li to become pregnant again.

But at this rate, it won’t take him many years to gather all seven Calabash Brothers.

By then, a group of little kids will call him grandpa.

Seven gourd brothers should be too few, so it doesn't seem difficult to put together a football team.

Thinking about having a group of little ones surrounding him and calling him grandpa in the future, Yang Zhengshan couldn't help but shudder.

Do you want to have a family planning plan?
It doesn't seem easy to do.

There are no condoms in this world!
But there seem to be birth control pills, but those birth control pills seem to be harmful to the body.

You can't harm your daughter-in-law's body for the sake of family planning, right?
Yang Zhengshan stroked his inch-long beard and felt that this was a bit difficult to deal with.

There is a saying that goes, give me a woman and I can create a race.

But he seemed to be able to create a race without women!
This feeling is really amazing!
"Write a letter to the eldest brother and let him know you're safe! Ask your eldest sister-in-law to take good care of your second sister-in-law!"

"By the way, go tell the second brother that he's going to be a father again!"

Yang Zhengshan threw aside those messy thoughts and said to Yang Minghao.

"Okay!" Yang Minghao responded with a smile.

write a letter!

Well, by the way, write a letter to your future wife!

I am now considered a married man, although I haven't married her yet, but it's not an exaggeration to say that I am half married.

Is it nice to have a wife?
Yang Minghao felt very happy.

He glanced at Yang Zhengshan secretly, "Will Dad also want to have a wife? Dad is getting younger and younger, what if he finds a stepmother for me?"

"Accept or not?"

"If you don't accept it, Dad will probably be angry."

"I need to discuss this with my eldest brother first!"

Thinking of this, Yang Minghao quickly walked out of the study and went to write a letter to Yang Mingcheng.

Yang Zhengshan naturally didn't know that Yang Minghao was thinking about his stepmother. He was thinking about whether he should send some gifts back to his eldest grandson.

But after thinking about it, he gave up. Now he didn't have anything good to give to his grandson, and he wouldn't choose things for a baby.

When the eldest grandson is born, the eldest son and his wife should take care of him, so he shouldn't need to worry about it.

As for Yang Mingcheng accompanying Lu Wenyuan to the provincial capital, this was something Yang Zhengshan promised Lu Zhaoqi last year. He had already told Yang Mingcheng about it before coming to Chongshan Pass.

If we calculate the time, they should set off in the next two days.

I don’t know whether Lu Wenyuan can pass the examination and become a scholar.

If I can pass the exam, I can take part in the provincial examination the year after next.

He also wanted to borrow the help of his adopted nephew, but he certainly couldn't do so in a short period of time.

As for whether there is anyone in the Yang family who can pass the imperial examination and become an official, the three brothers Yang Zhengshan and Yang Mingcheng are definitely not capable of it, but Lin Zhan may be able to be trained.

As for Yang Chengye's generation, it is unclear whether they have any talent for studying.
