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

The Great Northern Dynasty produced a female general, and it could also have a female agricultural official.

Ji Xiaobei often felt dizzy and confused by what Lord Cao said.

Later, Ji Xiaobei thought of a way and pulled Mrs. Lin over.

Mrs. Lin has been farming all her life. She was very excited when she saw the fields of potatoes on the west hill.

Although it is not hers, as a farmer, she feels genuine joy just seeing the food.

Lord Cao said that excavation will begin the day after tomorrow.

Ji Xiaobei was wearing a thick cotton coat and a gray-blue scarf, wrapped tightly up, and came back from Xishan riding a little white horse.

As soon as we entered Mingyi Lane, two little kids in flowery cotton jackets rushed out.

Ji Xiaobei: That, eh!

That’s just Mrs. Lin’s aesthetic taste.

The cotton-padded clothes that Ma Xiaoqi made for the two children were warm and lightweight, but the style was a bit novel.

Ma Xiaoqi learned the style from the book given by Ji Xiaobei.

Mrs. Lin refused to let her two children wear the clothes, saying that the ones made by their grandmother were the warmest.

"Mom, when will Uncle Fu come back?" Guoguo asked, pointing at the half-open door next door.

"Soon, he'll be back after he settles down Grandpa!" Ji Xiaobei said evasively. She didn't know when Fu Jichang would come back. He had been gone for almost two months and had only sent someone to bring back a letter once.

There were only a few words on it: Arrived safely, don’t worry!

Ji Xiaobei: I am frugal with words and never say a word more than necessary.

"Is Grandpa coming back with us?" Zheng Zheng asked.

"Grandma, Grandma won't come back. She will stay in her hometown and never come back. From now on, she will be like the stars in the sky. She can see you two every night..."

Ji Xiaobei didn't know how to explain death to his two children.

The two children nodded.

Every time they asked, Ji Xiaobei would say this.

Maybe it’s because of their blood connection, the two children slept very uneasily in the nights after Mrs. Fu passed away.

Zheng Zheng was startled awake twice.

At that time, Mrs. Huang said that something might happen.

During those days, Ji Xiaobei was very busy preparing things for Shitou's wedding, so he didn't think much about it.

Now that I think about it, the child might really have foresight.

Ji Xiaobei took the child back.

Mrs. Lin was cleaning up the big stove that was used last year so that it could be used when the weather gets cold.

Ji Xiaobei told Mrs. Lin that the potatoes on the west mountain would be dug the day after tomorrow.

I guess there are a lot of people.

Mrs. Lin must go this time.

Ji Xiaobei was afraid that something might happen if there were too many people around, but he couldn't persuade her at all.

Mother Lin said firmly: "Your mother Huang and I have discussed it. We must go. I didn't see the purple-robed boy descending from the sky last time. It is a regret in this life..."

Ji Xiaobei muttered in his heart: Purple-clothed doll, Purple-clothed doll is hugged by you every day, you see her every day!

It was getting dark early and Mrs. Lin came to the door early.

After the old lady passed away, all the servants in Mingyi Lane were dismissed, leaving only a few who cleaned the house and guarded the yard.

Mingyi Lane became even more deserted.

Now that Mrs. Fu is gone, there is no need for her to live here anymore.

Ji Xiaobei was thinking of buying a small courtyard nearby to live in after the spring.

Mrs. Lin was not used to living in a big yard and said she felt uneasy because it was so empty.

After Shitou and Liang Yuyao got married, they only stayed in the manor for a few days.

Stone returns to the textile workshop.

Liang Yuyao still lives in the handicraft workshop.

Mrs. Lin saw that this was not going to work. If they lived separately, when would she be able to have a grandson?

The next day, she went to the textile workshop and cleared out a room for the young couple, allowing them to live in the workshop.

Ji Xiaobei asked Xiao Zhuo to drive Ma Debiao twice a day, traveling back and forth between the textile workshop, handicraft workshop, and Mingyi Lane.

Everyone who works for the Ji family can ride the commuter donkey cart for free.

Ma Debiao: Half of my master has returned to his hometown, and I can finally return to the team.

Ma Debiao stayed in the textile workshop and lived with Ji Decai.

Liang Yuyao came to Mingyi Lane to pay his respects to Mrs. Lin, and Ma Debiao was able to see the little white colt and the little mule.

Take the opportunity to spend some time with the little white colt.

When Liang Yuyao went to the workshop, Ma Debiao saw his son Xiaocai who had become independent.

Ji Decai was working in the textile workshop, helping out with all the chores, and was very busy.

The Ji family and livestock were all busy and in an orderly manner.

After the family finished their meal and washed up, Ji Xiaobei put the two little ones on the bed and let them sleep.

The two children crawled into the bed, leaving only their little heads exposed.

He laughed and looked at his mother who was applying perfume.

When Shitou got married, Mrs. Lin was exhausted, so Ji Xiaobei had to take care of the two children alone.

The sound of horse hooves was heard in the alley, coming closer and stopping at the door.

Mrs. Lin jumped out of the bed and was about to put on her clothes to go and see.

Ji Xiaobei had already walked out the door and shouted into Mrs. Lin's room.

"Mom, don't move, I'll go take a look..."

Mrs. Lin got back into bed.

Now that Shitou is married, her biggest worry has been resolved.

She was always afraid that Shitou would not be able to find a wife.

Her biggest concern now is Ji Xiaobei’s marriage.

I dare not speak, and I dare not ask.

Old Madam Fu just passed away this year, and next year will be a long time. As the only grandson without a father, Fu Jichang will have to observe mourning for the old lady for at least a year.

Mrs. Lin shrank her body and chanted "Amitabha". Her children and grandchildren will have their own blessings!

He pricked up his ears and listened to the noise outside.

Ji Xiaobei took off his slippers, grabbed his cotton coat, sniffed, and cursed: It's so damn cold today!

Don’t let it freeze, or the potatoes in Xishan will be frozen.

"Who?" Ji Xiaobei shouted in a rough voice.

"I……"

Ji Xiaobei's heart tightened...

Why did he come back in the middle of the night?

Didn’t he take six months of bereavement leave?

Ji Xiaobei opened the door with a bang, and a tall man with a cold air stood at the door. The cold moonlight shone on him, casting a long shadow.

Ji Xiaobei was a little nervous, his throat was a little tight: "You, why are you back now?"

Fu Jichang glanced at Ji Xiaobei, hummed softly and said:

"I haven't eaten yet!"

That tone made Ji Xiaobei feel that all the grievances in his heart were about to overflow.

Ji Xiaobei pulled at his thin collar and said:

"Come in!"

He passed by Ji Xiaobei on the left side, and his thin clothes brushed against the back of her hand, feeling cold.

Ji Xiaobei: Aren't men afraid of the cold? It's so cold, and you're wearing so little.

Mrs. Lin crawled out of the bed and looked out of the window.

He was so delighted that he quickly got into bed and blew out the light.

Ji Xiaobei was just about to ask Mrs. Lin to make some hot soup for Fu Jichang, but when he looked up, all the lights in the old lady's room were off.

Ji Xiaobei: You fall asleep too fast!

"You go in first, I'll heat up the leftovers for you!"

The lights in the main room were out, and only Ji Xiaobei's room had the lights on in the entire yard.

He looked at Ji Xiaobei's back. She must have meant to let him into her room.

Fu Jichang's heart trembled suddenly.
