There is a mountain in her arms
Chapter 72: Ending and Returning Home
Half a month later, Jiang Yicheng and An An left Qi Lao's residence. This was planned in advance, and Qi Lao and the guards were reluctant to let them go.
"Mr. Qi, who is this little kid?"
"What? Are you interested? But it's unlikely. His sister is more powerful than him and she won't join your army."
"why?"
"Their parents are martyrs. The siblings depend on their grandparents for survival. They will definitely not agree to send them to the army again. Besides, even if they don't join the army, they can still shine and make contributions in other places. Why do you think they stayed with me for so long?"
After saying this, Mr. Qi ignored the guard and continued to tend to his flowers and plants. The guard wanted to ask more questions, but was chased away by Mr. Qi.
"Go, go, go. I don't need you right now. Go somewhere else. Don't ask about their affairs. There are many people protecting them. Don't let them chop off your hands."
The guard had no choice but to leave with a lot on his mind. How could there be a guard like him who didn't have to protect anyone and could develop his own career?
When Wang Quan and the others met Jiang Yichen and An An, they were finally liberated by Chi Yuan.
Zhang Ji and Yu Hansheng were fine, but Wang Quan was completely overwhelmed by them, with various formulas and laws lingering in his mind all day long.
"Sister Orange, are you here to pick us up?"
"Brother Chi Yuan, I plan to go to the farm to take a look and then return home. I'm sorry to bother you with them these days."
"No, we are learning together."
Chi Yuan's words made Wang Quan roll his eyes. He has been in dire straits these past few days.
"I'm going to Zhuangzi now. Do you want to come with me or continue?"
"Together, together!"
Wang Quan couldn't wait to put away the information book. Although he complained, his hands were very careful.
"Then let's go together! I haven't been exercising these days, and my shoulders are sore."
Chi Yuan also said with a smile, Zhang Ji and Yu Hansheng also packed up their books.
"Wow! Sister, this place is full of plants!"
An An ran in as soon as she got out of the car and was very happy to see the fruit trees all over the ground.
"Little boss, you guys are here! There's only one last bit left to finish."
Li Xun rushed over after hearing the news. Tang Chao was out on business, so he hurried over to report on the progress.
"Well, I'm coming to check on the progress before I go back home. You should get busy first!"
"Mr. Zhao is planting flowers, and I am helping him."
"Growing flowers? Go and take a look!"
When Jiang Yicheng heard this, she had an idea in mind. She was just wondering what to plant, but she got a surprise.
"Grandpa Zhao, what kind of flowers are you growing?"
"Little Zouju! I only brought this seed here because it is easy to grow anywhere. It has strong vitality. Even if it is frozen in winter, it can still grow the next day."
“Can I plant other flowers at this time?”
"Yes! I know common varieties like roses, tulips, and hyacinths. I don't know much about the others because I haven't planted them myself."
"Grandpa Zhao, I asked Brother Tang Chao to find some different flower seeds. Can you figure out their habits and cultivate them?"
"As long as I give them some time, I'm sure most of them will be able to bloom, not all of them. Because some flowers are picky about the geographical environment, and even if they are carefully maintained, they may fail due to environmental factors."
"Okay! Then try your best. You can use the space between the rows while the fruit trees are still young. If you can cultivate many different varieties, I will buy you a piece of land to grow flowers."
"Hey! Okay, okay, I will do my best!"
Jiang Yicheng's last words touched him. In his life, he had dealt with trees and flowers. He felt that flowers could cultivate his sentiments and also let flowers interpret his mood.
Jiang Yicheng asked An An to go with them to have a good look, while she would find a chance to bring Ah Chu and the little fox back. She had almost forgotten about them after being away for so many days last time.
The mountains were much quieter than usual. When Jiang Yichen found Achu, he, the little fox and the leopard tiger were basking in the sun together.
After not seeing it for half a month, it seemed to have become wild and even its fur was dirty.
"Achu, go wash yourself, it's so dirty!"
Jiang Yichen stood two meters away from them with some disgust. Ah Chu was very happy to see her, and immediately obeyed her and rolled in the stream a few times. Water droplets splashed, and the dirt on his fur was indeed much cleaner.
"Why is it so dirty? I'll clean it for you when we get back."
"Alan and I have been challenging for territory during this period. Now we have control of this mountain."
"Wasn't the spotted tiger the king of this mountain before?"
"Some of them were afraid, and some were hoping for a lucky break. This time we completely defeated them."
"So are you going to stay here or go back to the space?"
"I haven't collected all the five elements yet, so I'd better follow you! I don't know where we'll meet, and if I stay here, you won't know even if we meet."
Achu communicated well with the leopard tigers, and their eyes, as big as copper bells, almost popped out as they watched Achu and the others disappear before their eyes.
It roared wildly at Jiang Yichen, and the animals in the forest fled in fear. Jiang Yichen was afraid that it would attract the attention of the people down the mountain, so he quickly put it into the space.
"You should talk to it nicely. If it keeps roaring like this, it will not only attract other people's attention, but it will also scare the animals on the mountain and bring them down the mountain to cause damage."
After hearing this, Ah Chu hurriedly communicated with it. The tiger looked at the unfamiliar environment in confusion, and felt that there was a power in the deep mountains that made it fearful.
"Hoo! Hoo! Hoo!"
"Ouch!"
She really didn't understand the language of communication. Looking at the fruit trees on the other side of the hill that were laden with fruits, she thought about going back and going somewhere else with her grandfather.
When strict inspections are carried out everywhere in the future, she will not be able to conjure up these things out of nowhere.
After they calmed down, Jiang Yichen looked at Achu.
"You can send it out now, but I promised to visit it often in the future. Can you let it in for a walk?"
"Sure! But you have to keep the animals on the mountain outside under control."
"It promised."
Jiang Yicheng sent the tiger away, and it took her to find a bowl-sized Ganoderma lucidum. Jiang Yicheng accepted it with satisfaction, patted its head, and quickly disappeared into the depths of the forest.
"Let's go back and pack our things and catch the express train tonight! The slow train will take three days! Do you want to?"
"In no mood!"
Wang Quan and the other two answered in unison. They were curious at first, but later they just felt sore in their waists and backs and uncomfortable all over.
"Let's go then!"
Chi Yuan sent them to the station and made an appointment with Jiang Yicheng to call each other every month.
When they squeezed into the train station the next afternoon, everyone was sweltering with heat.
"We're going back home tomorrow, see you at the start of school!"
"Sister Cheng, I'm going too. I'm just a helper when I go home anyway. My grandma is helping my aunt take care of the kids. You know my parents are very busy people."
"Okay then! You come home with us."
Zhang Ji and Yu Hansheng looked at each other and understood each other's meaning tacitly.
"How about taking us with you? We are also very curious about what your hometown is like?"
"You haven't finished your summer homework in so long, aren't you going home to catch up?"
"Sister Cheng, don't you know that we have already finished our homework in the past half month and also previewed the content of the second year of high school?"
"How should I know what you were doing? I thought you were just walking around Beijing!"
"I would like to, but these two inhuman guys lost their minds when they heard the study materials. I can only sacrifice my life to accompany the gentleman."
Zhang Ji and Yu Hansheng both touched their noses, as if they didn't hear anything.
"Jiang Yicheng, we're going home today and will meet up at your house tomorrow."
"it is good!"
The few of them walked together for a while, and finally parted ways.
Jiang Yichen took An An and Wang Quan back home on a tricycle. The house was quiet.
Grandma Jiang covered all the furniture with gray linen to prevent dust, and Jiang Yichen and his wife went straight upstairs to clean up their rooms.
"We won't cook at home, let's just go out for a meal. I'll call grandpa and tell him."
"it is good!"
An An was a little listless, partly because of the heat and partly because of hunger. Wang Quan wasn't much better, having lost all his energy long ago.
"Chengcheng, An'an, you are back?"
Suddenly a surprised voice was heard, and they subconsciously looked outside the door. Their second aunt’s wife was waving at them outside the door.
Jiang Yichen hurried downstairs and opened the gate.
"Aunt, why are you here? My grandparents haven't come back yet!"
"I know! Your uncle is worried that your family might be missed because of the lack of people, so we will come over in a few days. Did you just get back?"
"Yeah! We just got off the train and we're going back to the village tomorrow."
"You haven't eaten yet! Your great grandfather and his family have returned to the village, and there's no one to cook at home, so why don't you come to my house to eat? It just so happens that your uncle has made the yuba and braised dried tofu you mentioned these few days, why don't you go and try them?"
Since her aunt said so, Jiang Yichen took the two of them to her aunt's house.
Along the way, Jiang Yichen asked her aunt's grandmother how the business was going during this period.
My aunt is very satisfied. Although there are fewer orders from school during the summer vacation, other orders are still relatively stable and she earns a good salary.
She said that she had lived in the countryside all her life and didn’t know it was so easy to make money outside!
Now, one month of hard work is equivalent to half a year in the countryside. Although it is hard, the family is still together, so there is nothing wrong with that.
"Aunt, if you earn more, you might as well ask about houses in the city. People's lives will get better and better in the future, and a large number of people will flock to the city, so the housing prices will definitely rise. Now is the right time to buy a house. In a few years, the same price may not be the same."
"Buy a house in the city? What about the house in my hometown?"
My aunt never thought about living here in her old age, so she never considered buying a house.
"Aunt, the house in my hometown is always there. If you have a house here, my cousin's household registration can be transferred here, so he won't have to go to school every year. Besides, the resources in the city are better than those in my hometown, and the classmates they make in school may also be resources for them in the future."
"Ah? I'll go back and talk to your uncle and cousin."
Jiang Yichen was just making a suggestion and she didn't force anyone to make any choice.
"Xiaoying, has Zhichao closed his stall?"
Before my aunt entered the house, she called her daughter-in-law. Her two grandsons were enjoying the cool in the yard. When they saw Jiang Yicheng and the others coming in, their eyes lit up and they ran over.
"Cousin, cousin!"
"Cousin, cousin!"
Yu Xiaobei's pair of eyes like black grapes fell on Jiang Yichen's small backpack.
"Puchi! Here, share it with your brother!"
Jiang Yichen deliberately took out a bag of candied crisps and a bag of mung bean cakes slowly from her bag, and the little guy's saliva was flowing.
"Thank you, cousin!"
"What a filthy kid! We don't lack food for him, why is he still so greedy?"
The aunt laughed and scolded him. Huang Xiaoying came out of the room and saw Jiang Yichen and the other two and welcomed them warmly.
"Chengcheng An'an is here. Is this the Wang Quan you mentioned?"
Wang Quan and Huang Xiaoying had never met before. Wang Quan didn't know her, but she knew Wang Quan.
"Hello, Auntie! I'm Wang Quan, sorry to bother you today."
"Welcome, welcome! Mom, I just soaked the beans and now I'm going to make dinner."
"Hey! I'll come with you and make some of the new dishes your father just made for them to try."
"it is good!"
"Chengcheng, please help greet Wang Quan, and Xiaobao will look after his brother."
Seeing that her husband and son had not returned yet, my aunt's wife thought that it would be soon, so she planned to prepare dinner quickly with her daughter-in-law so that they could come home and eat in time.
When it was getting a little dark, my uncle and cousin Yu Zhichao came back together and welcomed Jiang Yichen and the others.
"Chengcheng, I've made one according to what you said. Try it later and see if it tastes like this."
"it is good!"
"It's time to eat, it's time to eat, wash your hands and eat."
When the aunt saw the two of them coming back, she hurried out to set the table. As the dishes were served, Jiang Yicheng and the other two were already starving.
Stir-fried meat with bean curd and black fungus, tofu stew, celery and dried tofu, stir-fried meat with chili, mapo tofu, shredded pork with fish flavor, pork ribs and kelp soup, stewed egg with minced meat and fish head, tofu and vermicelli stew.
As soon as my uncle started eating, they couldn't wait to eat. They hadn't eaten well for a day and a night, and they were so hungry that they could even swallow a whole fat cow.
Jiang Yichen finished a bowl of rice, and her aunt-in-law helped her serve another half bowl.
"Orange, is this what it should taste like?"
"Ah? Uh? I didn't pay attention just now. Let me try it again."
Jiang Yichen was stunned by his uncle's sudden question. Later he reacted and quickly tasted the bean curd sheets and braised dried tofu.
"Uncle, this is what it should taste like. Haven't you sold it yet?"
"Not yet. I'm still unsure. I'm afraid it will ruin my reputation."
"Uncle, if there is any harm, it's probably that you can't eat too much yuba. Some people with weak constitutions or illnesses will easily get sick or their condition will worsen if they eat too much at one time."
"Then let's not sell the bean curd sheets, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble."
"Not necessarily. Yuba is still a soy product and is still good for the body. As long as you don't eat too much, there's no problem. Otherwise, you can make less in the future and limit the amount you buy to about one meal."
"Okay, let's do as you say."
After hearing that his uncle stopped asking questions, Jiang Yichen continued to eat and drank a bowl of pork rib soup.
In the evening, my cousin sent them home and waited for them to close the door before leaving.
The call didn't go through today, so Jiang Yichen plans to make the call before leaving tomorrow.
Jiang Yichen had a dreamless night. The next day, she got up early and went to the street to make a phone call. She also brought breakfast to An An and Wang Quan.
Just after breakfast, Zhang Ji and Yu Hansheng came over together. They didn't waste any time, they closed the door and went to the station.
Despite the hot weather, the morning bus was still crowded and they had to work very hard to squeeze in.
When they got off the bus, everyone was in a daze. Grandpa Jiang was waiting outside with his ox cart, and when he saw them, he waved to them.
"Chengcheng, An'an, here!"
Jiang Yichen and An An threw themselves into their grandfather's arms like tired birds returning to their nests, and Grandpa Jiang's face was wrinkled with smiles.
"Just come back! Just come back!"
