Originally, the pension should be paid by the household department, and Li Xin and they assisted at most, but because of the attention of the Chengde Emperor, the household department simply sold Li Xin a good one and gave the money to Li Xin in one go.

If it is an ordinary general, it is a matter of course to scrape a layer from it, but Li Xin can't eat this kind of human blood steamed bun, and he is not short of money, so this pension will be paid a lot.

The standard of the imperial court's pension is ten yuan per soldier who died in battle, and Yu Linwei's pension is slightly higher, about twelve yuan.

Twenty yuan of money, saving a little money, can make an ordinary family spend several years.

In later generations, everyone said that human life is priceless, but that was the afterlife, in this era, human life has a price, and in the eyes of the vast majority of people in this era, twenty yuan is enough for people to die.

Take Li Xin in the heavy snow last year, Li Xin's life at that time, let alone 20 yuan, even two yuan was not worth it.

Because there are few only children in this era, and most of the families have several brothers and sisters, this pension is enough for them to live, and the families who get the pension are still grateful to Li Xin.

After all, there are very few officials who are so sincere and can give out ten percent of the bereavement pension.

Because these more than 30 people have to go door to door to deliver money, so it is quite time-consuming, in order to make it more convenient, Li Xin divided more than 100 people into two teams, and the other team let Mu Ying take it and distribute the bereavement benefits separately.

After all, Mu Ying is also from a general, so she will not be greedy for these money.

Nevertheless, it was not until the afternoon of the next day that Li Xin reached the last house, which was not in the city, but in a village on the southern outskirts of the capital, and it was close to evening that Li Xin arrived at the village called Chenjia Village.

Most of these young people under Li Xin's subordinates are also Yu Linwei, and Yu Linwei's income is not low, they generally live in the city, and only eight of the thirty-nine people live on the outskirts of the city.

One of them is to live in this Zhoujia Village, and his name is Chen Chuyi.

Chen Chuyi is only sixteen years old this year, one year younger than Li Xin, his father died in the north, he was Enyin into Yulinwei last year, is the first group of people to follow Li Xin, Li Xin once asked him about the origin of the name, Chen Chuyi, who was very afraid of life, told Li Xin that because he was born in the first year, so he was named Chuyi.

Now, too, he is dead in the north.

Li Xin held Chen Chuyi's Yulinwei sword armor in his hand, remembered the young man who would blush whenever he spoke, and sighed softly.

In the past two days, he has sent more than 20 families, and this Chen Chuyi is the youngest among them.

Taking advantage of the dawn, Li Xin walked into Chenjia Village.

A young man with dead wood on his back and a sweat jacket saw them across the road and looked at them with a probe in his head.

Yu Linwei is the pro-army of the Son of Heaven, and the dignitaries and nobles in the capital can't avoid it, and immediately a team is shouting, "Young man, there's nothing to look at, get out of the way!" ”

The young man looked to be fourteen or fifteen years old, carrying a basket of twigs on his back, scratching his head a little embarrassedly, ready to run away.

Li Xin frowned, he was born in a peasant family in his last life and in this life, so he naturally couldn't get used to seeing someone treat a young man like this, so he immediately opened his mouth and reprimanded, "What are you doing, can't you take a look?" ”

The team that opened his mouth immediately bowed his head and said nothing.

Li Xin stretched out his hand to call the young man and asked.

"Little brother, what were you looking at?"

"I'm looking at your clothes."

This dirty young man was a little shy, bowed his head and said, "My brother also has black clothes like yours, but he is different from you, he has no white on his clothes. ”

The clothes of Li Xin and the others were all the same color Yulinwei dresses, and the pure black clothes were embroidered with colorful white tigers on the chest, but because they were here to mourn, they all hung white cloths on their bodies to show their grief.

Li Xin was a little sour.

Not surprisingly, this is Chen Chuyi's younger brother.

"Little brother, what's your name?"

"Chen Sixteen."

The young man wiped his sweat, cautiously glanced up at Li Xin, and asked, "Are you here to look for my brother, he is working in the city and has not come back." ”

"We are all your brothers' ...... Friend. ”

Li Xin originally wanted to talk about his comrades, but he was afraid that this young man would not understand, so he changed his words and said a friend.

Chen Sixteen showed a bright smile on his face, "It's a friend of Brother, then go to our house and do it, and I'll ask Auntie to get you some food." ”

Yu Linwei's ordinary Yu Linlang's monthly salary is two stone white rice, ten feet of white silk, and one stone of rice is about a little more than a hundred catties, which is more than enough to feed a family of three, plus Chen Sixteen can also change some copper plates when chopping wood every day, and it is normal for the family to have some surplus food.

Li Xin smiled reluctantly, "Little brother, how many people are there in your family?" ”

"And my aunt and sister."

"How old is my sister?"

"Eleven."

Chen Sixteen was very straightforward and had no heart, and after Li Xin said that he was a friend of his brother, he answered whatever he asked.

Under the guidance of this young man, Li Xin and others soon arrived at his home, which is a dirt yard, the courtyard wall is not very tall, and there are some dry goods from the countryside hanging on the wall, a middle-aged woman is taking her little daughter to dry grain in the yard, and the afternoon sun is sprinkled on the grain, and the golden one is very beautiful.

Li Xin stopped at the gate of the courtyard.

He couldn't bear to break the beauty of the silence.

Chen Sixteen entered the house, put down the firewood on his shoulder, and smiled at his mother, "Ah Niang, my brother's friend is here, look at the clothes should be Yu Linwei, who worked with my brother, now I am waiting outside, you go and pour some tea and give them a rest." ”

The middle-aged woman glared at her youngest son, "Why are you so unruly, Da Lang's friend is here, just invite him in, why let the family wait outside?" ”

She hurriedly put down the things in her hand, wiped her clothes with her hands, and ran to the gate of the courtyard in small steps.

Then she saw the white cloth on Li Xin and the others, as well as the faint white flags behind her.

The woman, who looked to be about forty years old, froze as if she had been struck by lightning.

Tears rolled down her eyes.

She had seen this scene before, a few years ago, when her husband's obituary was sent back to the township, and the court came to issue a bereavement pension, it was also such a scene.

But...... He was only sixteen years old in the first year of junior high school, and he hadn't even decided on his family affairs yet-

As soon as her eyes were dark, she was about to fall to the ground.

Li Xinli was also quite sour, stepped forward and grabbed the woman, and said in an astringent voice, "Aunt Chen, mourning-"

This is the worst scene in the world.

Aunt Chen clenched her teeth, reluctantly opened her eyes, looked at the young man in front of her, and said in a trembling voice, "This... Official, isn't my son Yu Linwei...... Isn't Yu Linwei not fighting...? ”

Aunt Chen's husband, who was a border army in the north, died in the north, and later Yulinwei recruited people, and Mrs. Chen originally disagreed, but her son told her that Yulinwei only ate and did not fight, so Mrs. Chen let him go.

Who knows......

Li Xin opened his mouth to say something, but he didn't know what to say, and finally sighed softly, "Aunt Chen, this matter is Yu Linwei's, I brought all the swords and armor from the first year of junior high school, and the twenty pensions given by the imperial court to the first junior high school are also here." ”

Speaking of this, Li Xin sighed faintly, "If you still want this position of Yu Linwei, Sixteen can come to Yu Linwei to report at any time, and I can take him personally." ”

Mrs. Chen sat slumped on the ground, bursting into tears.

After her husband died, she struggled to support the family alone, and it was easy for her eldest son to earn money to support the family, who knew that this kind of thing happened in just one year.

I have to say that there are many people in this world who are born with hardships, this Aunt Chen is, and so is Li Xin's mother.

Chen 16 and his sister both ran out and gathered around their mother.

"A-Niang, what's wrong with you?"

Li Xin took a few steps back and knelt down on one knee.

"Although the first day of junior high school is gone, but Yu Linwei is still there, what difficulties will the Chen family have in the future, as long as Li Xin is still in the capital for a day, he will be duty-bound!"

Li Xin knelt down, and the dozens of people behind him naturally knelt down as well.

Fifty or sixty Yu Lin Wei, dressed in black and black armor, knelt down respectfully in front of a peasant woman.

War, for a general of Ye Ming's level of Xuantong, is just a string of cold numbers, but for Li Xin, it is that there are not many brothers around him, many brothers who can be called by name.

Those high-ranking officials can't see these numbers, but Li Xin can't see them.

Even if, as Wang Zhong said, this is the end of fate.

But you have to be honest.
