The Rebirth of a Star General

Chapter 5

     He Yunsheng always felt his dream was a bit too long.

His sister followed him up the mountain early in the morning and cut firewood. Finally, he took out some snacks from his cloth bag and gave him one. He Yunsheng wanted to refuse, but a sweet and oily scent filled the tip of his nose. He Yan had already lowered his head to bite his own part. Unexpectedly, He Yunsheng reached out and took it.

He bites. Her sweetness was no stranger to him. He Sui was very biased. He gave all the delicious food to He Yan, but He Yan was not a person who liked to share.

He Yan saw that he was eating very slowly, so he put the rest of the snacks into his hands and said, "You can eat the rest. I'm full."

He Yunsheng did not know what to do.

She and her sister were the only two people in the He Family. He Sui was just an armed bodyguard who came to the capital to deliver goods. In the middle of the road, he happened to be robbed by a mountain bandit. He saved the young miss from the university house of the capital and married happily. The family of scholars has only one young miss. He Sui had no parents, so he voluntarily became the family's son-in-law.

Even though she was the daughter-in-law of the family, her son and daughter still followed the last name of their husband.

Later, the cleric and his wife died one by one. Madam He was depressed all day. When He Yunsheng was three years old, Lady He died. The three of them depend on each other to survive.

He Sui and his wife loved each other very much. He Yan was very similar to Madam He. Perhaps because of this, He Sui loved He Yan very much. Although the He Family was not rich, He Sui had always tried her best to meet He Yan's needs. Over time, He Yan had also become an annoying person. At the very least, He Yunsheng could not love this sister of his.

But ever since he fell ill, many of his actions had become unimaginable. He Yunsheng did not know how to deal with it.

"You go up the mountain to cut firewood every day?" He Yan asked him, "What are you doing in the afternoon? Didn't you go to school? "

He Yunsheng was only one year younger than He Yan. He's fifteen this year. Children at this age should stay in school.

"When we get back, we'll make a big cake and sell it in the shed in the afternoon. Forget school." He Yunsheng casually said, "We have no money at home, and I am no match for it. I can only read a few words."

Despite trying to hide it, He Yan could still see a trace of regret and longing in the boy's eyes.

After a pause, he asked, "What do you want to do in the future?"

"Why are you asking?" He Yunsheng was suspicious but after a while, he still answered He Yan's question, "Now I go to the martial arts arena every day. In the future, as long as I pass the academy examination, I will be able to enter the garrison forces of the city and slowly become a Lieutenant. Then I'll be able to get some silver."

"That's it? He Yan laughed. "I thought you wanted to do something else."

"How can I do something else?" He Yunsheng mocked himself, "Don't tell me I'm going to be like General Feihong? We both have the same clan but he is much stronger than us. "

Suddenly hearing his name from He Yunsheng's mouth, He Yan froze for a moment. He was silent for a moment before asking, "You know General Feihong?"

"Of course I know! Who does not know in Da Wei? That year General Feihong conquered Western Qiang, General Fengyun conquered the Southern Barbarians, Northern He, and Southern Xiao. That's why our Da Wei is peaceful! The young man was polite and excited! If I can become a person like them, even if I die, it is worth it! "

He Yan laughed out loud.

He Yunsheng was confused and exasperated, "What are you laughing at?"

“But just chop firewood and sell big cakes, you can't be the person they are. That year General Feihong and General Fengyun were not people who could succeed just by studying casually in the martial arts arena. "

"Of course I know." He Yunsheng's face flushed red, "But I …"

What young man doesn't want to make a name for himself? He Yunsheng was at an age where he was warm-blooded. Moreover, the current situation had actually held him back.

He Yan said, "From tomorrow onwards, I will go with you to the mountains every day to cut firewood and sell big cakes."

"What?" He Yunsheng jumped off Shi Tou, "He Yan, are you crazy?"

Without waiting for He Yunsheng to speak, He Yan had already stood up and patted the dust off his body, "Since you have finished eating, let's continue working. Spring doesn't wait for anyone."

He Yunsheng: "…"

After the spring rains, the weather is clear for more than ten days.

Recently, Qing Mei thought of something. In the past, Eldest Miss had always told her to do this and that. Eldest Miss, who had made him serve her personally, was not looking for her anymore.

During the day, he left with He Yunsheng. In the evening, when Qing Mei wanted to help He Yan freshen up, He Yan also told her to come out. The only thing he could do was to get up in the morning to comb He Yan's hair.

Qing Mei was heartbroken from worry. If this continued, would he also be expelled from the house like the male servants that He Sui had chased out? After all, Eldest Miss doesn't need it anymore!

He Yunsheng also had many things on his mind.

For over half a month, He Yan went to Long Huan Peak with him every morning to cut firewood. Unexpectedly, he woke up earlier than her. He Yan climbed the mountain and tied the sandbag to his hands and feet. He Yunsheng was secretly weighing it down. It was so heavy. He Yan carried such an object every day and went to the mountain with him to cut firewood.

He's not complaining at all. It was as if he did not know what fatigue was. However, He Yunsheng noticed the delicate skin of his palms had been peeled off countless times. He just wrapped the cloth around his hand.

The benefits of doing this are obvious. After half a month, He Yan walked faster than him and cut more firewood from him. He Yunsheng wondered if the sandbags were truly magical. Should he secretly tie two sandbags?

Two people cut firewood faster than one person cut firewood. The extra time can be used to sell more cakes. After all, He Yan was a woman. It was not good for him to make a living in public. He Yunsheng also reminded him, but He Yan did not care at all. He Yunsheng felt a headache coming. If He Sui knew that He Yan had been with her lately, either chopping firewood in the mountains or going to sell cakes, she would definitely whip him.

Fortunately, He Sui did not know.

Not only did He Sui not know, but she was happy every day. His son and daughter, who used to fight non-stop, had recently become closer. They can sit at the same table and eat together. Sometimes, they even talk. He Sui was very satisfied. He was much more friendly to the new soldiers in the school grounds. After all, everything will prosper if the family lives in harmony.

Right now, He Yan was sitting in front of the dressing table.

Qing Mei looked at him anxiously.

Ever since He Yan recovered from his illness, he did not like to reflect. She also dislikes fiddling with her blush and face powder. Now that he was fiddling with it again, Qing Mei was a little nervous. Recently, household spending has been very poor. He Yan wanted to buy a new lipstick at this moment, but he had no money.

He Yan flipped through the powder on the table and felt a headache coming. These things are already used. They cannot be sold for money. She flipped through it a few more times and found some hairpins and jewelry.

Everything is made of silver and the quality is average. It was not as good as he used to wear in the Xu family. However, he did not care so much now.

He found all the jewels and handed them to Qing Mei.

"Bring this to pawnshops and pawnshops. Pawn until you die. You'll get more money."

Qing Mei's eyes widened. "But but …"

"We're very poor now." He Yan explained to her solemnly. "It can't be eaten."

He had to pawn the jewelry and earn some money. It would be best if he could earn enough money for He Yunsheng to go to school.

Since he had taken over Lady He's body, he should at least do something for the He family. After he took care of these things, he could do things on his own with peace of mind.

For example, he could pay off old debts.
