I want to protect my family, but you force me to take the lead

"If you have any plans, make your own arrangements. Meet up here in a month. Got it?"

"clear."

Seeing Qin Yu moving his lips, Qin Nuan quickly said, "You should also go around and see the scenery of our Xia country, and also get some useful information."

When they heard this, they immediately stopped hesitating, nodded in agreement, and continued to work on their tasks...

Seeing the sky getting darker and darker, Qin Nuan left some things for the others, and carried a backpack filled with rice, millet, flour, and eggs, a bag filled with 20 kilograms of pork in her left hand, and a sack filled with pheasants and rabbits in her right hand. As the others watched, she strode towards the farm not far away...

As soon as they reached the farm gate, Qin Nuan put down the bag in her hand, took out the letter of introduction from her satchel and handed it over, "Uncle, I came from the north to visit my relatives. Here is the letter of introduction. Can I come in?"

The middle-aged man who had seen Qin Nuan a long time ago came over and took the letter of introduction. He turned around and asked, "How long have you been walking from the north? I don't think you look like a native."

"I came from the north. After I finished work, I took a car from a brother unit to our area, and then walked here. This is my work ID."

The middle-aged man took the blue book from Qin Nuan and opened it: Oh! It’s finally here.

"It's Comrade Qin. I was wondering why you looked so familiar. Come on, let's talk inside." As he spoke, the middle-aged man handed his work ID to Qin Nuan, then walked out and carried two bags towards the farm.

"Hey, thank you, uncle. Uncle, you are getting more energetic."

At the gate, a middle-aged man handed Qin Nuan a pen. "Comrade Qin, my name is Zhang Bin. Please register here. Who are you visiting? All your things will be checked before entering the farm."

Qin Nuan took the pen and wrote as she said, "Look at my two uncles, aunts, cousins, they are from Kyoto, their last name is Zhao. I understand the procedure, Uncle Zhang, just check it."

Zhang Bin scratched it twice and whispered, "Two months ago, two men, one surnamed Qi and the other surnamed Wang, said they were from Kyoto. The day after meeting Director Li, not only did Mr. Zhao and his men's daily work change, but even their living quarters became more dilapidated.

Director Li reminded me not to move, saying that someone was secretly watching the Zhao family. A few days ago, the second wife of the Zhao family fell ill, and Director Li asked Lao Song to get her medicine. Your coming here is just in time. "

Qin Nuan understood immediately after hearing this, but she was alert and did not respond immediately. Instead, she looked at Zhang Bin seriously, "Who are you?"

Looking at the vigilant Qin Nuan, Zhang Bin smiled silently, "Comrade Qin, don't be nervous. I am Chen Xiaoyang's distant cousin, and I am here to fulfill his trust."

Qin Nuan remembered the name Chen Xiaoyang. On the day she met her grandparents, it was him who led the way and kept watch for her and Old Hong.

Feeling someone's eyes on her, Qin Nuan said loudly: "Uncle, can you show me the way?"

Zhang Bin said cheerfully, "Okay. Go straight from here, and turn right after you reach that house. You will see rows of houses. After you pass that row of houses, you will see a row of dilapidated houses. The two houses at the far end are Zhao An and his family."

"Oh, I see. Thank you, uncle. I'll take the pheasant home to make soup for my aunt, and the rabbit will be used as a side dish for you to drink. I'll come and chat with you when I'm free."

Qin Nuan stuffed a pheasant and a hare into Zhang Bin's hands, then carried a backpack and two bags and strode towards the direction Zhang Bin had just pointed...

Not long after, farm director Li Jianguo came over, leaned in front of Zhang Bin and whispered, "Is that Zhao An's capable niece?"

Seeing that Zhang Bin didn't say anything, Li Jianguo said softly, "It's a pity that Zhao Shanshan came to the farm. She should have joined the army. You would never have dreamed that she is actually a fire-type mutant."

"What? Lao Li, what did you just say?"

Seeing Zhang Bin's shocked expression, Li Jianguo smiled and said, "I just received a call. The two people who came two months ago will come to the farm in two days. I don't know what they will do specifically. You should talk to Zhao An when you have time."

My wife was talking about meat yesterday. The pheasant is quite fat, so you can keep it. I'll take the rabbit home."

After that, he turned around and left with the hare in his hand...

Zhang Bin quickly ran with the pheasant in his hand. Halfway along the way, he saw his youngest son playing on the roadside. He gave the pheasant to him and told him to go home quickly. He then turned a corner to look for Zhao An, who was fishing by breaking ice...

After passing a long row of houses, Qin Nuan walked for a few more minutes before arriving at the dilapidated house that Zhang Bin mentioned.

There is also a row of houses here.

Looking at the dilapidated houses in front of her, Qin Nuan walked to the edge with slightly sore eyes.

Gao Ya placed the earthenware jar filled with corn paste on a small uneven table, put a plate of pickled cabbage on top of it, then held her waist and prepared to go back to the house to lie down for a while.

As soon as they walked out, they saw a girl walking towards them.

He looked up curiously, his eyes widened instantly, and he thought: This person looks like a nun!

Seeing Gao Ya, Qin Nuan thought about her grandmother's description, walked up quickly, and called softly, "Second Aunt?"

"Nuan girl?"

They both spoke at the same time, and then burst into laughter.

"What a nice girl, why are you here? Come into the house with your second aunt."

Feeling Gaoya's excitement and enthusiasm, Qin Nuan responded crisply, "I came here on a mission, and now that I have some time, I came to see you.

Second aunt, I heard you were sick, please lie down and I will take a look at you."

Gao Ya waved her hand cheerfully and whispered, "What's wrong with you? I'm almost well now. If it weren't for the cold winter with so little work, I would be able to go to the fields tomorrow. Come on, kid, why do you bring so many things with you when you come to see us?"

Qin Nuan leaned in front of her and whispered, "Second Aunt, who are the people living around here? What are their personalities like? Has anyone bullied you?"

"There are a lot of good people on this farm. The families living here are all from Kyoto. As for their character, there seems to be no problem at the moment. You rest in this room, and I'll go make two more dishes for you."

As he spoke, he stood up.

Qin Nuan would never agree to this, so she pushed him down and whispered, "Don't worry, Second Aunt. Let me check your pulse first."

After saying that, before Gao Ya could say anything, Qin Nuan's slender fingers were already on Gao Ya's wrist...

After a moment, Qin Nuan withdrew her hand and said, "You have recovered well, but you need to rest for another day tomorrow. Also, you have to go to the fields later, so you have to take it easy, second aunt.

By the way, it’s winter and there’s snow everywhere, what kind of work is there here?”

Gao Ya waved her hand and said, "Hey, feeding the pigs and sheep, and taking care of the pig and sheep pens are all done by the families in our row."

"What about the front row?"

"They don't have much work to do right now, so they're all staying at home. Or some of them are going out to break ice and catch fish. Your uncle and his friends are also going out to catch fish, and they'll cook some for you later."
