Yinuo, who had just walked out of the door, was mentally prepared, but the moment she stepped into the yard, she was still quite upset. The yard was full of mud and leaves, and the stools and tables were tilted and even covered with dust. The open kitchen in the corner was even more horrible, with flies buzzing and a foul smell. It was so disgusting...

Yinuo looked around, then looked through the fence at the quiet village outside the door, took a deep breath, rolled up his sleeves, picked up the broom and started cleaning.

This village is not an ordinary village. The land here is for garrison purposes and is given to the local garrison troops.

I have to popularize this here. There are three types of ancient armies: the capital army, the border army, and the local garrison.

We are all smart people. As the name suggests, there is no need to explain. The role is of course to protect the emperor, protect the border, and prevent local rebellion.

In the book that Yinuo traveled to, the hero Teng Ke was a member of the local garrison.

Local garrisons mainly refer to the provincial garrison troops and garrison troops (called state troops and county troops in ancient times, and very few were stationed in towns), as well as security troops such as the militia, and some were native soldiers of ethnic minorities.

In ancient times, there was no such thing as accompanying the army, let alone military compound.

The wives and daughters of generals must stay in the capital, because generals have military power! The emperor needs generals to fight for their lives at the border, and he also needs to control everything about them. The lives of their families are the best bargaining chips to threaten them. Therefore, the higher the seniority of the generals, the higher the restrictions on their wives and daughters.

Ordinary soldiers are either orphans with no one to rely on, who join the army for food and clothing; or they are forcibly conscripted, and may have elderly and young people at home, and their wives have to take care of the elderly and children at home on their behalf.

Of course, these are all referring to border troops. There is another reason why border troops do not bring their families. In ancient times, borders were not peaceful and minor conflicts often occurred. If you bring your family members over, they will be wiped out in a matter of minutes and their descendants will be gone.

The garrison was different. The soldiers and their families were all military households, and usually lived in the garrison, which was the village built on the garrison land mentioned above. There were houses for the families in the garrison, and the soldiers usually farmed and were called up to fight in wars. Of course, they also had daily training.

After returning to the place where he had just been, Yinuo cleaned the courtyard as quickly as possible, wiped the tables and chairs, and put them in order.

To be honest, it is a big challenge to do housework with a fat body. Sweeping the floor, mopping the floor, wiping the table, washing dishes, such simple tasks are enough to make Yinuo exhausted and out of breath.

"Hong'er, Chen'er, come out quickly, don't stay in the house!" Yinuo stood outside the house and shouted loudly.

They were all thatched houses, and there was not enough light inside the houses during the day, which is why people in ancient rural areas played in the yard. It is bad for children's eyes to stay in a dark house for a long time.

After a long while, the two children slowly walked out. Seeing such a clean courtyard, their expressions were a little dazed. They just stood at the door and stared blankly, not daring to get closer.

Seeing them like this, Yinuo couldn't help but want to laugh. These two fearless kids are now starting to have conflicts?

"What? Are you still afraid that I will hit you?" Yinuo said with a smile, and the tone sounded more like a teasing tone.

"Oh! If you didn't beat and scold the children so often, would they be afraid of you?"

"Since the child won't be with you, why not get a divorce?"

It was not known whether it was because Yinuo was too focused or because Teng Ke was good at martial arts, but Yinuo did not hear the footsteps behind him at all, so when he heard Teng Ke's sudden voice, Yinuo was startled.

In Teng Ke's eyes, this is a guilty conscience.

After coming to his senses, Yinuo said in his heart: You bastard.

A man who always talks about divorce is a dog. Divorce if you want, who’s afraid of who?

Yinuo couldn't answer, after all, the original owner was indeed an unforgivable evildoer. But she was not the original owner, and she would not pay for her stupidity.

Teng Ke was too lazy to waste words with her, and directly pulled the two children who were still in a daze to sit down next to the table and chairs under the shed. Only then did he notice that the yard had been completely renovated.

Is this Yinuo's doing?

If someone shows kindness for no reason, he is either a traitor or a thief! !

Teng Ke immediately put a label on Yinuo in his mind.

Yinuo glanced at him.

Sharp eyes, deep facial features, handsome and cold, with a military air. No wonder the original owner fell in love with him at first sight and was determined to marry him. Even she felt her heartbeat quicken after seeing him like this.

After all, she had seen many stars in her past life, so Yinuo was not crazy about them. After a moment of distraction, she turned around and walked to the straw shed beside the wall (the so-called open kitchen). She was going to cook. It was getting dark, and it was time to eat.

She quickly cleaned up the kitchen and started looking through everything. She wanted to see how much rice and flour there was at home and what to cook.

As she was looking through the books, she became embarrassed. Where was the rice? Where was the flour? Where was the salt? Where was the oil?

Yinuo couldn't help but pat his round head.

Yes, Teng Ke also couldn't cook. He used to eat fire-cooked meals in the military camp. In the six months since the original owner and her two children came, Teng Ke gave the general military pay to the cooks in the military camp and asked them to cook for the mother and her two children. He brought back three meals a day from the military camp.

There is no firewood, rice, oil, salt or other daily necessities at home!!! Well... we still have firewood, after all, we still need to boil water...

Teng Ke sat on the chair, watching her busy figure with his eyes narrowed, as if he wanted to see through her, until Yinuo turned around with four bowls and four pairs of chopsticks, he put away his gaze.

"The dishes are all clean, let's eat first!"

Yinuo smiled awkwardly, put down his bowl and chopsticks, then ran to the kitchen to bring out the food that Tengke had just brought back, a big bowl of pumpkin dumplings.

The noodle dumplings were not really delicious and were even a little hard to swallow, but the father and his two sons picked up their bowls and chopsticks with an expressionless face and started eating.

Their movements were so uniform that you could tell they were biological children.

Watching them eat, Yinuo felt a little uncomfortable. What a sin, three such pretty faces eating such food, the original owner was really guilty.

Yinuo sat down silently and only took a small spoonful for herself. She really couldn't eat any more, and secondly, her fat body was in urgent need of losing weight, so she just needed to eat a little without getting hungry and upset.

"Eat more, I'm not hungry."

As he spoke, Yinuo added a lot more food to the empty bowls of the three of them.

The three of them looked at her in unison, then looked at each other. Finally, Teng Ke picked up the bowl and started eating. The two little kids quickly picked up their bowls and continued eating.

After the child was full, Teng Ke took the child back to the house without even looking at her.

Yinuo had no choice but to quietly clean up the dishes and wash them. Then he drew two buckets of water from the well and prepared to boil water.
