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

The two children's voices were filled with crying sounds, and Guoguo had already started to cry.

Fu Jichang couldn't care less. His heart would break if he listened any further.

The last time I saw them was during the Chinese New Year, and more than two months have passed in the blink of an eye.

During the Chinese New Year, when Ji Xiaobei wasn't paying attention, he secretly changed Zhengzheng's diaper, and sure enough, he saw the birthmark that was exactly the same as his own.

Grandma was absolutely right!

He was so excited that he couldn't sleep for several nights.

He is now certain and certain that these two children were the ones he planted that time.

He secretly admired his own amazing sowing ability.

Just that one time, well, there were two!

I secretly gave myself a thumbs up, what a man! So strong!

When he pushed aside the door curtain and entered the room, he was startled to see Guoguo had already climbed to the edge of the bed with one leg resting on it. If he turned sideways again, he would fall off.

"Guo'er!" Fu Jichang shouted.

Guoguo turned his head, lost his balance, and his chubby body fell down.

Ji Xiaobei vaguely felt that something was wrong, so he squinted his eyes, turned sideways, stretched out his hand, and grabbed one of Guoguo's legs like a fish in water.

She felt her hand lighten and she quickly opened her eyes in fright.

The man was seen kneeling on one knee on the ground, holding Guoguo in his big hand, and holding a bowl of steaming water in his other hand stretched far away.

He was looking at Guoguo with a worried look on his face.

Ji Xiaobei immediately pulled Guoguo into his arms, feeling somewhat guilty, but fortunately he did not drop the child.

Guoguo arched his back in Ji Xiaobei's arms and continued to grunt and babble.

"She's hungry!" Fu Jichang stood up and put hot water on the table.

"Yeah!" said Ji Xiaobei.

"If you're tired, just find another maid to serve you. You can rest more and the child will be safe!"

Fu Jichang said as he looked at Ji Xiaobei's increasingly thin face.

Ji Xiaobei: Are you blaming me for not raising my child well?

Fu Jichang: I didn’t mean that!

Ji Xiaobei was angry: How come you didn’t have that? That’s clearly what I meant!

Fu Jichang: I, I’ll go make some milk…

Ji Xiaobei: "There are rice noodles over there, go for some!"

Fu Jichang: What are rice noodles?

Ji Xiaobei pointed to the porcelain jar on the table.

Ji Xiaobei patted her gently and comforted her. She was frightened just now and it was all because of me who drank two too many glasses. He would definitely not drink when taking care of the children in the future.

Fu Jichang prepared half a bowl of rice noodles according to Ji Xiaobei's instructions and brought it over.

You know what, the ground rice is really fragrant!

"What kind of rice is this? I'll bring some for the children next time, and you can ask Mrs. Huang to grind it into powder for them to drink!"

Seeing that the two children loved drinking it, Fu Jichang planned to get some more.

"Why? Are you worried that they won't have enough to eat?" Ji Xiaobei raised his eyebrows and asked back.

I don't know why, but when I saw this man, I felt so angry.

Well, I just want to have a quarrel with him.

"That's not the case. I just want to get some more for you and Aunt Lin..."

Ji Xiaobei: That’s pretty good!

“There are many refugees near Anzhou. When you go out, take the small table with you. It is also best for those who come from home not to go out, especially not to Anlian Mountain and Xishan.

These people all came from the south. There was a severe drought over there, and the people were living in poverty. A rumor came from somewhere that there was food and drink in several prefectures around the capital, so people all ran here. Some people also said that Anzhou was the richest, so the refugees flocked to Anzhou..."

Fu Jichang frowned and spoke quietly.

Ji Xiaobei listened quietly.

He was originally in Tuzhou investigating the case of the Salt and Iron Bureau. Just when he had made some progress, he was called back and told that there were too many refugees in Anzhou and the situation was unstable. He was asked to join forces with the Xishan Guard to maintain the public security in Anzhou first.

Fu Jichang was also puzzled. Why did the case get solved so quickly, but something happened in Anzhou?

The sowing season was approaching. Although Anzhou was also suffering from drought, the government sent people to the mountains to perform rituals and pray for rain, and there was some success. It drizzled that day.

After hearing this, the refugees became even more convinced that Anzhou was a good place, and another group of them came.

He discussed with the commander of the garrison, He Ye, and decided to close the city gates if all else failed, leaving them open only for two hours a day.

Seeing that he was frowning, Ji Xiaobei asked, "Are you worried about something?"

"No, I'm just worried about your safety. Xuyou and Yongheng, follow me. I'll leave the Black Tower to you. There are many people in my family, and you're the only one who knows Kung Fu. If anything happens, the Black Tower can help."

Ji Xiaobei did not refuse, so this was fine.

She is not afraid of refugees, but she is afraid that they will hurt people around them.

"Then you should be more careful outside. I will take good care of Grandma Fu, don't worry!" said Ji Xiaobei.

In fact, Ji Xiaobei often chats with the old lady.

Sometimes the old lady would have an attack and no matter what she did, she wouldn’t be comforted. She would just be angry and refuse to eat, which made Aunt Zhang so angry that she cried. Aunt Zhang had no choice but to ask Ji Xiaobei for help.

Ji Xiaobei took her over, comforted her, and asked Guoguo and Zhengzheng to play with her for a while.

When the child was about to eat, she also served food to the old lady.

The old lady smiled and ate with her two children, enjoying the meal very much.

Ji Xiaobei didn't let Nanny Zhang tell Fu Jichang about these things.

He is busy on official business outside, and telling him will only make him worry.

"You've been taking care of the child and are getting thinner and thinner. I'll ask the Black Tower to send some supplements over for you and Miss Jiaojiao!"

Fu Jichang was afraid that she would be suspicious, so he specifically mentioned that he wanted to give it to Miss Jiaojiao.

Ji Xiaobei: I am exhausted every day. You can never give me back the weight I lost with great difficulty.

As it grew darker, Fu Jichang sent Ji Xiaobei and the child to Mingyi Lane and left.

The next day, Heita came with some things.

Boxes, cans, and bags filled the table.

Jiaojiao looked at this with a smile, touched this and said, "Sister, these are all good things. These are the only gifts for the Empress Dowager. They are nourishing, beautifying, and longevity..."

"Stop, stop, stop. Longevity? Do I need to supplement that now?"

Jiaojiao: "Maybe, Master Fu hopes you can live a long life!"

Ji Xiaobei: ...Bah!

"Take whatever you like. I don't need to eat this!" Ji Xiaobei said, scratching his head.

Nanny Zhang sent supplements every few days, and the cabinet was full. She also gave a few boxes to Zheng Guo as a filial gift.

Zheng Guozhi praised the authentic taste and said it would be great if they could make more to sell.

Ji Xiaobei: That thing was also very valuable in ancient times. If you sell it in modern times, you will lose money.

"Oh, right, Heita took me to see a shop that day. It was on the back street of the government office. It was a two-story shop that was even more magnificent than Cuijin Building. Don't you really want to go and see it?"

Ji Xiaobei shook his head and said, "It's up to you to decide, but this place is a good choice, the back street of the government office, it's quite safe, the refugees don't dare to go there to cause trouble."

Jiaojiao: This, I really didn’t expect.

"Yes, your little one is really thoughtful..." Jiaojiao smiled.

Ji Xiaobei slapped her on the arm and said, "Whose little kid is this? Say it again?"

"Oh, it hurts, my sister's little boy, is this okay?" Jiaojiao said, and ran away holding An An.

Ji Xiaobei kept chasing after him: "Tell me, how many sisters do you have?"

An An enjoyed the thrill brought by the acceleration. He danced and babbled with joy.

"One, I only have one sister..."
