I was divorced because I got pregnant during the lean years, so I went back to my parents’ home and

A group of people gathered around the water bucket with gourd ladles and drank the water happily.

After drinking, he wiped his mouth, picked his teeth and stood at the door of the ancestral hall.

A group of people gathered around the stone.

"Shitou, this is the big iron knife that Ji Lizheng brought back. Try it!"

The patrol team leader Song Laohei handed the rusty knife to Shi Tou.

"Shitou, show off your sword skills!"

I weighed the stone in my hand; it was so heavy!

It's far worse than the one my youngest cousin gave me.

However, he still picked up the rusty knife and started practicing in front of the entrance of the ancestral hall.

The surrounding women and men kept clapping and cheering.

"Good job, Stone!"

"good!……"

"As brave as his father, Daniu, this kid has inherited his father's legacy..."

"That's enough. His father doesn't even know whether he is dead or alive. What's the point of his legacy..."

"Maybe Daniu is a general now and won't return to Jijiawan..."

"Don't talk nonsense, just watch Shitou practice his Kung Fu!"

The old women in the distance were whispering to each other.

Ji Xiaobei stood at the door with his arms folded, looking at the majestic stone.

This spring, Shitou has grown a lot taller, has more muscles, and looks more energetic and stronger.

This kid's martial arts skills have improved a lot, but he's just not good at studying.

That day, Teacher Haixia was almost made to cry because he asked him to memorize an article but he just couldn't do it.

Later, Shitou was forced into no choice but to pull Haixia over to learn a set of boxing techniques.

Teacher Haixia shook his head and sighed: If the teaching is not strict, it is the teacher's laziness...

It was bustling here, but Mrs. Ma in the house was getting a little restless.

"My son, we have made more than a dozen sets of clothes, but why haven't the boss delivered them yet..."

Fu Jichang was silent for a while, then said, "You don't know, there is chaos outside.

The person who placed the order in the county disappeared. Didn’t I go out for a while a few days ago?

Don’t tell Aunt Lin about this, she’s in poor health and might not be able to bear the blow…”

Mrs. Lin, who was drying herbs under the windowsill, trembled and suddenly raised her head.

He reached out and pushed the window open.

"Mother Haixia, what are you talking about?" Mrs. Lin asked in panic.

Fu Jichang hurried out and went to the cabin in the backyard.

His mission was completed, and what happened next was beyond his control, so the farther he stayed, the better.

Then, he saw Mrs. Lin go to the door and pull Ji Xiaobei into the house.

In the ancestral hall.

Mrs. Ma closed the door tightly.

"Bei, what's going on?" asked Mrs. Lin.

"Mom, I didn't want to tell you this, but this is why I want to go to the capital. We have so many clothes in our hands, I have to find new buyers!"

After hearing this, Mrs. Lin staggered and fell into a chair.

"Looking for a buyer? Are we going to the capital to find a buyer? The Aqi family doesn't want our goods anymore?"

"It's not that they don't want it, they probably can't protect themselves..."

Ji Xiaobei said as he observed Mrs. Lin's expression.

Mrs. Lin asked tremblingly, "Bei, what should we do?"

Mrs. Ma also looked at Ji Xiaobei anxiously.

Ji Xiaobei shrugged and said, "However, they introduced a buyer to me in the city. I want to show them some clothes."

"Then, let's go!"

After Mrs. Lin finished speaking, she felt that what she said was wrong.

"No, the city is so far away, and it's so chaotic outside. I'm worried if you go alone. How about I go with you..."

Mother Lin trembled and said, "No, it won't work. If I go, I will only add burden to you..."

Ma Pozi was stunned for a while and then said, "Let Xiaoyao take Heita and the boss together. They are all martial arts masters..."

A gleam of light suddenly flashed in Mrs. Lin's eyes. She slapped her thigh and said, "Yes, look at my brain..."

"Mother, Madam Ma, you must not let the villagers know about this, otherwise..."

Before Ji Xiaobei finished speaking, the two of them nodded and said, "No, we won't tell anyone."

……

In the evening, Ji Xiaobei's family closed the door and discussed the matter in the house all night.

Finally, it was decided to let Fu Jichang and Heita accompany Ji Xiaobei.

Shitou really wanted to go, but was stopped by Ji Xiaobei.

"You are the only man in the family. You must stay at home and help mother and Xiaoju manage the workshop. You also have to practice patrol. You can't go..."

"If anything happens, can't I help too?" Shi Tou was unconvinced.

Mrs. Lin slapped him and said, "Don't say unlucky things. Your sister and the others will be fine."

Shitou lowered his head with red eyes.

Xiaoju held Ji Xiaobei's hand and cried.

"Alright, alright, I'm not going to die..."

Mrs. Lin hurriedly covered Ji Xiaobei's mouth.

"With Mr. Wu and Black Tower here, you can rest assured!"

Ji Xiaobei looked at the crying and messy family and comforted them.

"Aunt Lin, don't worry, I will take good care of Xiaobei."

Fu Jichang said.

"My dear, I'm leaving my aunt in your care!"

After chattering for half the night, he let Ji Xiaobei and Fu Jichang go to bed.

Ji Xiaobei put the bracelets and purses he had made in the past few days in the refrigerator and wrote back to Zheng Guo.

It was almost dawn when she lay down.

When she woke up, it was already daybreak.

She took out the new clothes that Haixia Niang had just made for her.

The weather was getting hot, so she specifically asked Haixia Niang to make her a large, loose jacket.

When she puts it on, no one can tell that her belly is big.

Mrs. Lin and Xiaoju baked a large stack of white flour cakes, cooked bacon and eggs, and packed them for Ji Xiaobei.

Early in the morning, Shitou took Ma Debiao to the river to wash its body clean and wipe the donkey cart again.

For the first time ever, Xiaohua did not go out to play. Instead, she sat obediently on the small stool, waiting for Ji Xiaobei to get up.

Ji Xiaobei pushed the door open and walked out, and everyone's eyes turned to her.

"You guys, what's going on?" Ji Xiaobei asked in surprise.

"It's okay, Beiya, Mommy has prepared everything for you!"

Mrs. Lin’s eyes were red.

Haixia Niang came over with a bundle: "These are two samples. I checked them. They are very flat!"

Xiaoju held a bag of food and said, "Sister, this is dry food, eat more, don't starve."

Mrs. Lin stuffed a heavy cloth bag into her hand and said, "Poor family, rich road, keep it!"

Haixia handed over an exquisite bracelet and said, "The new look I want indicates peace and prosperity!"

Ma Xiaoqi's nose was red as she took Ji Xiaobei's hand and said, "Sister Xiaobei, I'll wait for you to come back!"

When Xiaohua saw everyone like this, she felt upset and burst into tears.

"Sister, don't go!"

Ji Xiaobei: Am I going to the guillotine?

She rubbed Xiaohua's head and said, "Don't cry, I'll bring you something delicious when I come back!"

Xiaohua stopped crying and nodded like a chick pecking at rice.

Fu Jichang shouted at the door: "It's time to set off!"

Ji Xiaobei's nose felt sore and his eyes turned red!

She turned around and said hurriedly, "Don't send me off, we will be back in ten days!"

Ji Xiaobei went out and got on the donkey cart. Fu Jichang drove the cart and Heita followed behind.

The three men and the donkey set off.

When I got out of the alley, I saw a crowd of people...

Ji Li was standing in the front...

"Bei, come back soon..."

"Have a safe journey, Bei..."

"My dear, take good care of Xiaobei..."

Under the gaze of the villagers of Jijiawan, the donkey cart slowly moved out of the village...
