Generals take care of their children: The master mother leads the system to farm

Hu Yue Niang took the fruits in the basket and gave Xiao Yuer three little yellow chickens in return.

Yu'er thanked Hu Yue Niang happily, and without caring whether the little yellow chicken was dirty or not, he held it in his arms and almost gave it a kiss.

Li Changle glanced at the dress the little girl had carefully chosen in the morning and turned away.

After chatting with Hu Yue Niang for a while, the mother and daughter were about to go back.

It's already mid-afternoon and the little girl hasn't taken a nap, so she needs to be washed and put to bed early in the evening.

The little yellow chicken was placed in a small bamboo cage, and both the chicken and the cage were given to Yu'er.

She held her mother's hand with her right hand and held the chicken with her left hand. She was so happy that she kept saying that she wanted to take it back to show her brother. She had forgotten that Li Shixi did not come back with her. He would live in the manor for the next few days to make it convenient for him to go to school every day.

But just as they walked out of the fence gate, Wei Mancheng's master and servant happened to come back carrying their weapons.

Li Changle paused and bowed to the other party, "I came to see Auntie."

"Thank you, Madam Li, for thinking about my mother."

The man moved slowly and steadily, his figure was as slender as a bamboo, and even though he was wearing a short coarse cloth shirt, he still looked very elegant.

"No, no, I just came to give you some fruit. Auntie seems to like it very much."

The person in front of you is the future top scholar of the Great Yan Dynasty.

It seems that I will have to go to Beijing for the exam in February next year.

Will he be the new top scorer of that session?

"Thank you." Wei Mancheng responded gently, his black hair, which was a little messy due to working in the fields, fluttering in the wind.

He raised his eyes, with a faint smile in them, "Mrs. Li seems to be quite interested in farming. I just passed by the two plots of land outside the bamboo forest and heard Brother Chunshan say that you want to grow that kind of... dry rice?"

The villagers were not completely unaware of Li Changle's Leshan Zhuangzi and Xiaozhouzhuang. Many young and strong people in the village were taken by Hu Chunshan to work in the Zhuangzi, and in Xiaozhouzhuang, eight or nine out of ten households had laborers hired to work in the Zhuangzi.

As the weather got warmer, relatives and friends of each household resumed their daily visits. Xiaozhouzhuang and Lushui Village are close to each other, and the women in the two villages who love to chat and gossip have already been talking privately about Li Changle's family.

Wei Mancheng was not the kind of person who liked to listen to other people's gossip, but he could not resist the presence of Jixiang, who was smart and inquisitive, by his side.

Jixiang even knew all the cooperation matters between Li Changle and Li Ping.

Although he realized that there was something fishy about the Li family courtyard, Wei Mancheng stopped him from finding out the truth.

A few years later, Wei Mancheng also bought two acres of land in Lushui Village through Hu Dexian.

It was difficult to find a seller for land near water sources, even for highlands that were difficult to irrigate, so he waited for a long time before Hu Dexian allocated him two acres of sandy land. Compared with the sandy land with large and small stones and lumps of soil underneath, it was already good.

Even though he was going to Kyoto to take the imperial examination the next year, Hu Yue Niang did not urge him to study day and night.

He wanted to live in Green Water Village, and she let him do it. He wanted to buy some land to farm, so he did, and she was not in any hurry at all.

What he said was, "I have finished farming and planting, and now I am still reading my books."

In his spare time, he would till the soil and plant the crops, which did not prevent him from studying and making progress.

Hu Yue Niang is now content with having a son. As for what her son wants to do and what path he should take in the future, she always tells him that it is up to him to decide.

Therefore, Wei Mancheng's daily life became leisurely, unlike the years he lived under the supervision of the old lady of the Wei family, when every move he made was restricted.

Even Li Changle could see the joy in his eyes.

"Just try it. I don't know if the land can grow millet." Such overly confident words will inevitably arouse suspicion. This man is not a fool.

"Then...what about corn?" Wei Mancheng took advantage of the victory and pursued.

"Well... it's also edible..." I was afraid that he would ask me something I didn't want to talk about, so I said first: "If you are interested, you can come and have a look when my field is planted in a few days."

Wei Mancheng stood outside the fenced yard and looked thoughtfully at the mother and daughter who had already walked halfway down the hillside. The little girl carrying the bamboo cage turned back from time to time to look at her handsome uncle, but her mother always turned her face back to the front.

Wei Mancheng curled his lips slightly and smiled.

Jixiang came over and said, "Master, the two guards in that courtyard are both experts."

No matter how suppressive Leng Yi and Leng Er's secret guard murderous aura was, anyone who was paying close attention could easily capture it.

"I see." Wei Mancheng walked into the yard and scooped water from the jar to wash his hands. "It would be unusual for Gu Jingyan's family to have no guards following them."

"Shouldn't we try to get closer to them? We'll be entering Kyoto tomorrow..." This Madam Li has close ties with both the Fu and Gu families.

It's an unusual relationship.

Wei Mancheng tapped Jixiang with an empty water scoop and said, "You want me to curry favor with the rich and powerful?"

Jixiang scratched his head, “Not really. More friends mean more paths. We’re not going to ask for test questions, oh…” He was hit on the head again.

"If it is really an opportunity, I would never let it go even without you telling me. But... now it is inappropriate. Don't have any bad thoughts, because her two guards don't look like good people." After saying that, he went into the bamboo house.

The glow in the sky is gradually dimming, and the sun is about to hide in the west.

As soon as Li Changle returned to the yard, she started to boil water, put the fish under the straw shed and played with her little yellow chicken.

And remind her not to touch them after taking a bath at dark.

The little girl nodded and then asked her for a brother.

Li Changle turned around and went back to the kitchen.

The little girl looked at Leng Yi who was standing beside her and said, "Mother won't give me your brother."

Leng Yi: "..." It's useless to complain to him.

There were three little yellow chickens playing around. They kept mumbling to themselves "brother" for a while, but then they calmed down and ignored them.

There was still some stock in the cellar, so he asked Leng to go down and get some, and Li Changle made dinner.

Just stir-fry some bacon and potato shreds, stew Chinese cabbage with vermicelli, a bowl of steamed egg, and seaweed egg drop soup.

It was really a homely meal. The meat in the yard was gone, and as the weather warmed up, it was difficult to store meat, except for bacon.

But with eggs, lard and bacon, we can manage.

During the meal, she asked Leng Yi to eat more so that he wouldn't have to eat leftover food the next morning.

Leng Yi ate without saying a word.

The staple food is a pot of white steamed buns she makes using yeast, which is relatively quick to make.

Yu'er can already use a spoon to eat by herself, so Li Changle gave her a waterproof and oil-proof rice cooker with sleeves that he bought from the system mall.

Just make it casually. It doesn’t matter if food leaks out of your mouth. Just wash the food basket afterwards.

After eating and playing for a while, I washed the fish and threw it on the bed.

Sure enough, the little girl fell asleep as soon as she got into bed.

Li Changle had nothing to say about this little girl's ability to go to bed on time.

After finishing her work with the children, she went into the woodshed.

In the corner there are two baskets of apples, two baskets of cherries, and two baskets of lychees.

The three fruit trees in the house had been felled by Leng Yi, who considerately chopped them into pieces for firewood and piled them in the thatched shed in the yard.

Now, there is nothing in the woodshed except a few baskets of fruit.

She calculated the number of sweet potato seedlings she was going to buy, silently opened the Holy Mother System in her consciousness, and checked her current contribution points.
