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

He Ye waited on the path at the foot of the mountain until almost noon, but still didn't see anyone.

He waited anxiously and his stomach growled.

I can only go back first.

After Heita helped Jiaojiao and Zhao Yan settle down, he went out to look for Ji Xiaobei and the others.

He strolled around Ye County several times but couldn't find any trace of Ji Xiaobei and the others.

He ran towards the border guard camp.

Unexpectedly, I met He Ye.

……

"Mother, mother..."

"Aunt..."

The three little kids got off the carriage and rushed into the yard with their short legs.

Ji Xiaobei was waiting anxiously in the backyard. Suddenly he heard a shout. He was startled and ran quickly to the front yard.

While running, he said, "Oh, my dears, we are finally here. I was so worried."

Seeing Ji Xiaobei running towards them from the backyard, the three children screamed with excitement.

When they got there, Ji Xiaobei squatted down and the three little kids pounced on her.

Zheng Zheng and An An each hugged one arm.

Guoguo could only hug Ji Xiaobei's neck.

"Mother,...Mother...I miss us so much..."

"Auntie, An An misses you so much..."

……

Ji Xiaobei hugged the three of them in his arms, kissed one, touched that one, and couldn’t get enough of looking at them.

We've only been apart for a few days, but it feels like we haven't seen each other for a month or two.

We stayed stuck together for quite a while and were reluctant to separate.

Jiaojiao and Zhao Yan were so envious.

Ji Xiaobei is the roughest when it comes to taking care of children, but the children like her the most.

There was another one who was even more jealous. He stood at the backyard door, folded his arms and smiled, with a hint of jealousy at the corners of his mouth.

Guoguo lay on Ji Xiaobei's shoulder and smiled at Fu Jichang from afar.

Fu Jichang waved at her gently.

The little girl immediately let go of Ji Xiaobei's neck and ran towards Fu Jichang.

Zheng Zheng was stunned for a moment, then broke free from Ji Xiaobei's arms and tried to run towards Fu Jichang.

Mouth: "Uncle Fu..."

He Ye walked in from the door, picked An An up from the ground, held him in his arms, and said to the two little ones who were running away: "You two little brats, it's time to change your name. It's probably inappropriate to call you Uncle Fu anymore."

Ji Xiaobei rolled his eyes at him.

He Ye smiled wickedly and walked away holding An An.

Heita was carrying things, smiling from ear to ear, and followed Jiaojiao and Zhao Yan to the backyard.

Lang Ning picked up the two remaining bundles on the ground and followed closely behind them.

Zhao Yan glanced at him sideways and deliberately slowed down her pace.

"Thank you! You've worked hard!" Zhao Yan said with a blushing face.

"This is what I should do!" Lang Ning didn't dare to look Zhao Yan in the eye, and replied with his head down.

Lang Ning was secretly delighted, because now she was no longer the high and mighty princess.

He even had an illusion that Zhao Yan was now a little girl of the Lin family, shy and introverted, about to bloom.

Zhao Yan put away all her sharpness.

These days, she has become accustomed to this kind of life.

I even felt that I was living a pretty good life.

I did everything myself and learned a lot.

Most importantly, she learned to treat others sincerely, and others would treat her sincerely.

In the past, the three children kept their distance from her and were unwilling to get close to her.

She tried everything, but the three children showed no appreciation.

Later, she stopped trying to please them and just did her own thing quietly. Unexpectedly, the three little guys actually came over and talked to her on their own initiative.

Lang Ning saw that she was in a daze, and after a moment's hesitation, he asked, "Miss Zhao, you have worked hard on your journey. I came here earlier than you and am quite familiar with Ye County. Just tell me what you want to buy!"

Zhao Yan stopped, put down what she was holding, and took something out of her sleeve.

She clenched it in her palm.

She had originally worn it around her neck, but she wanted to return it to Lang Ning, so she took it off early this morning.

"This is for you. It's something your mother left for you. I can't accept it..."

Zhao Yan raised her eyes and looked at Lang Ning.

Lang Ning paused and said, "I have already given it to you, how can I take it back?"

"This, this can keep you safe. You're outside every day, so you need it more..." Zhao Yan said, stuffing it into his arms without saying anything, picked up the things on the ground, quickened her pace, and went to the backyard.

Lang Ning stood there in a daze.

I don’t understand what Zhao Yan meant by sending it back.

The look in his eyes dimmed a little, and he picked up the things, his steps not as brisk as before.

He put his things away and all three men came out from the backyard.

They had just arrived and needed to wash up and take a rest.

Huang Po and Lian Feng read until very late last night and are catching up on sleep today.

There are three main rooms in the backyard and two side rooms on each side.

Ji Xiaobei lived in the room at the eastern end, the three children lived in the room at the western end, and the middle room was the main room.

Jiaojiao and Zhao Yan lived in the side rooms.

The kitchen is in the front yard, and Huang Po also lives in the front yard, which makes it convenient for her to cook and discuss medical skills with Lian Feng.

They finally reunited, but the atmosphere in the yard was not relaxed.

Fu Jichang's wounds had not healed and he looked very sick.

……

Over there, Governor Zhang arrived in Ye County.

Liang Yuhui and Fang Qing went to the city gate to greet them in person.

Liang Yuhui met Fang Qing for the first time.

He had been serving as the county magistrate of Boling County for several years and had often heard of Fang Qing's name. When they met for the first time, the two got along very well.

Fang Qing had heard of the magistrate of Boling County a long time ago.

In the past few years, many policies have been implemented, but unfortunately, we encountered a famine year and many measures were wasted.

He also heard that the magistrate of Liang County took people to Boling Mountain to look for water.

The magistrate of Ye County also said he was going to look for water, but unexpectedly he had already escaped with his family.

Yes, it is not easy to be the county magistrate of Ye County.

The previous county magistrate died at the hands of the western barbarians.

Fang Qing didn't expect that Magistrate Liang was so young, handsome, and well-spoken.

Fang Qing felt that it was a blessing to work with such a county magistrate.

A few carriages were approaching in the distance.

Someone came to report: Governor Zhang has arrived!

A large carriage stopped and Liang Yuhui hurried over to salute.

A pair of big hands pushed aside the curtain, without even looking at Liang Yuhui, and said with a soft hum: "Alright! Let's go!"

Liang Yuhui: ...

Governor Zhang glanced at Fang Qing without even giving him a glance.

Fang Qing cursed in his heart: Old man, he's not still angry, is he? It's been almost five years, and he's really hot-tempered.

Five years ago, the two men disagreed on the battle plan.

The old man got angry and scolded Fang Qing harshly.

Fang Qing insisted on his opinion.

In the end, five thousand men were lost.

Afterwards, Governor Zhang said sarcastically: "Five thousand troops, elite soldiers and good generals, huh! General Fang, you should reflect on your mistakes!"

Fang Qing and he are not in a superior-subordinate relationship, although his official position is slightly lower than his.

But Fang Qing defended Ye County for seven or eight years and there had never been any major disturbance.

He was not willing to give in.

The two men had a quarrel, and Governor Zhang threw his sleeves and left angrily.

Fang Qing came back to his senses and stepped forward to salute respectfully: "Welcome, Mr. Zhang..."

Before he finished speaking, the car door curtain was lowered.

Fang Qing: Aren’t you being too disrespectful?

The carriage swayed forward.

Fang Qing was very angry.

Liang Yuhui didn't know about the feud between the two people, so he didn't know what to say.
