Sister Han is good at farming

After bringing the two coffins, one big and one small, of Chi Hunter and Chi Zijing back to Zaozilin, Ruan Qingqing looked at the dark and heavy coffins and thought of the generous and unrestrained Chi Hunter. The voice in her ears was clear and real!

"Hey, little girl! I, your uncle Chi, am a very honest man. It would be better for you to treat us to a meal than to give us money. I have to say, the dishes in your house are really delicious."

"You don't know! This dish is called braised pork. Every time I eat it at Ruan Laosi's place, I can't forget it. Haha!"

"Ruan Laosi, what delicious food are you eating? It smells so good that I can hardly walk."

“It’s so damn delicious!”

"This bowl is mine after I eat it, and you are not allowed to snatch it from me, Lao Chi!"

"Yes, yes! Amazing! So amazing!"

"What nonsense are you talking about! What's the point of saying poisonous or not? How can you say something as unlucky as poisoning when it comes to such delicious food?"

"I don't care. Leave me two bowls of your potato vermicelli when you cook them. No, four bowls! I won't let you suffer any loss. I'll give you a rabbit and a pheasant for one meal. How about that?"

"I do have some friendship with the county magistrate of Qingshui County, so it's no problem for me to pass on a message to him. But if you want the county magistrate to adopt your opinions as much as possible, it's best to do more research. For example, where to build a buffer reservoir for Qianlong River, where to dig a lake, and where to build a backup reservoir in each village...

After all, theories on paper are not as convincing as concrete plans combined with reality. "

"That's fine, I'm just curious about how you raised this little girl, she's so bold!"

"You are quite hot-tempered. Tell me! How do you want your uncle Chi to help you?"

"It will be a little tricky, but it's not impossible. Leave it to us, but don't let your father take the initiative to lead the refugees to the town, as that would give people a handle on him.

Let me tell you this! You got a little too angry this time, and if you don't do it well, you will stab half of our Yunqing country. Although someone will investigate afterwards, we don't know who will investigate at the beginning, so protecting yourself is the first priority. "

"You are so smart, girl! But being too smart is not good. Look, I can't fool you even if I want to."

"You really can't bear any loss! Come on, I've been sweeping so many roofs at night, my whole body is really numb from the cold!"

"You're just my temper girl! Haha!"

From then on, they would never hear that hearty laughter and that unruly loud voice again.

And that sunny boy, she would never see the dazzling light in his eyes again.

……

Although Ruan Qingqing was not heartbroken when Chi the hunter and his son died in battle, she felt so heavy in her heart that she could hardly breathe.

In the evening, when she returned home to rest, she made an important decision.

"What? You are going to wear mourning clothes for your Uncle Chi!" Ruan Wantie jumped up in shock, "Do you know what this means?"

Ruan Qingqing nodded calmly.

"Dad, I didn't do this on impulse. I have seriously considered it. Uncle Chi and his friends saved me twice. If they hadn't helped me, I would have lost my life on the way back from selling hairpins.

Although they had their reasons for escaping from the wolf's mouth, they did save me from the wolf's mouth. Not to mention that they didn't take a penny of the ten taels of silver they got from selling the wolf, which solved our dilemma at the time.

And even though we were robbed by bandits, Uncle Chi still reported us to Lord Zhou and let us receive the ten taels of silver. Before that, we had to risk our lives to earn a penny.

Later, when we were making hairpins, did Uncle Chi and his family come to help us cut bamboo? Afterwards, they only came to our house for a few meals and didn't want a single penny.

As for the water conservancy project, my grandfather didn't dare to let my fifth uncle and eldest brother talk to the county magistrate, but Uncle Chi listened to my one-sided story, gave some advice, and then helped to submit my plan to Mr. Zhou. Everyone said that I was the first to contribute to the water conservancy project, but if it weren't for Uncle Chi, would Mr. Zhou be able to see the comprehensive and detailed plan? Would he be able to make the decision without hesitation and let the people below do it?

Also, after everyone built the waterwheel in Luoping County and the water was turned on, did Uncle Chi and the others say nothing and just take people to guard that section of the road to prevent people with ulterior motives from causing damage?

The Good Luck Casino was found to have hidden disaster relief silver and grain. We said we wanted to expose them and asked Uncle Chi for help. Did he help us without hesitation and also told us to protect ourselves?

Not to mention, when the plague hit, he led his men to patrol the village to maintain order; when the snowstorm came, he led his men to help everyone clean the roofs every night...

He has done so much for us, and now he has died for his country, shouldn't I wear mourning clothes for him?"

Ruan Wantie closed his eyes and two tears rolled down.

"Your uncle Chi has passed away. People in this world believe that the deceased should have children wearing mourning clothes and filial sons breaking pots to see him off. Otherwise, he will be regarded as a wandering ghost. It's a pity that his only son is gone too... Well, all of you should go and wear mourning clothes for him! Don't let him die in such a shabby way. This way, it won't be in vain for all of us to have known each other for so long!"

On the second day, Ruan Qingqing, Ruan Lanlan, Ruan Shian, Ruan Shikang and Ruan Susu all wore mourning clothes and hemp hats and walked into the mourning hall of Chi the hunter.

After Ruan Qingqing, Ruan Sishui's children also walked in wearing mourning clothes. Later, all the teenagers and children under the age of 18 in the village wore mourning clothes and knelt in front of the mourning hall.

When folks from nearby villages came to pay their respects, they were all shocked by what they saw.

Although Chi Liehu’s son was gone, he had countless children who kept vigil and cried for him.

Zhou Zheng, who had rushed over day and night, saw this and cried while holding his coffin.

"Brother Zijing, why don't you get up and open your eyes. So many children are wearing mourning clothes for you. Whose mourning hall is as lively as yours? You should take a look. With your temper, I'm afraid your laughter can shake the roof of the mourning hall off...

Brother Zijing, go with peace of mind! The villagers of Zaoziling, the elders and folks of Qingshui County, and even the people of Yunqing Country all remember what your Chijiajun has done!

Brother Zijing, you can go without worry! We will firmly guard our border and I will investigate your grievances one by one..."

Ruan Qingqing, who was kneeling beside the coffin, straightened up instantly when she heard this, her eyes blazing with fire, "Is there any hidden reason behind my uncle Chi's death in battle?"

Hearing this, Zhou Zheng had no choice but to wipe away his tears and turned back to warn her, "I am still investigating the specific situation, so don't reveal it to others, so as not to alert the enemy!"

Ruan Qingqing's heart sank. With powerful enemies outside and traitors inside, the situation at Xiyu Pass in Jiangxia was probably not optimistic.

"Master Zhou, is my brother okay?"

"Don't worry about him. He is growing up very fast in the army. After General Chi and his son died in battle, he was quickly promoted to the position of general by the remaining Chi family army." Zhou Zheng pondered for a while, "I am worried that the dark hand behind this will reach out to your brother. After all, besides General Ling, your brother is the only one who can fight in Xiyu Pass now."

Ruan Qingqing's body shook violently. A young boy who had only been in the army for half a year had become the backbone of the border. How much this country lacked military talents!

"Aren't there any other generals leading troops to reinforce us?"

Zhou Zheng shook his head. "Now, the eight surrounding countries are at war with our Yunqing Country at the same time, and we don't have enough military officers and manpower."

"Is it possible that Xiyu Pass cannot be defended?" Ruan Qingqing asked in a trembling voice.

“This… is hard to say!”
