The dead general was kidnapped by his husband and taken to farm.
Chapter 12: Renovating the house, a little jealous
Ji Er was washing clothes in the yard, so Jiang Shian went to the kitchen to clean up.
I must repair the tiles on the kitchen first. If I don't clean them up, dust will be everywhere.
After clearing all the places where sunlight came in, Jiang Shian went on to clean up the leaks in several other houses.
By the time he had finished cleaning up, people came to help.
It was his youngest son Chen Ji and old man Chen from the family where he bought tiles yesterday.
Old man Chen was carrying a ladder on his shoulder, and Chen Ji was holding a wooden barrel with repair tools in it.
When Chen Ji saw Jiang Shian in the yard, his eyes lit up. When he came to his house yesterday, he thought he was a young master from a family in the town. When he learned that he was here to buy tiles for his home, he enthusiastically took him to the backyard to see the piles of tiles.
These tiles are of no use if left alone, and my family would be happy to sell them.
Their house had just been built and they were short of money, so this money solved their immediate problem.
Old man Chen readily agreed to help with the repairs.
Chen Ji was originally going to go to the fields, but thinking of the young man who amazed him at first sight yesterday, he happily accompanied him.
It would be good to take a few more glances.
Jiang Shian greeted with a smile, "Uncle Chen, you are here. Please come in. I have cleaned up the room."
"Eh, okay."
The two men looked at Ji Er, who was sitting by the well. He looked like a different country boy. His clothes were similar to theirs, but his temperament was not something they could find in these places. Could it be that the youngest son of Mr. Jiang was already married?
Jiang Shian poured them a glass of water and said, "Uncle Chen said that all the lime needed has been bought. I don't know much about repairing the house, so I'll leave it to you, Uncle Chen."
Old man Chen smiled and nodded. He had only one child, Chen Ji, who was very naughty and had a rough voice. It was quite novel to have such a young man speaking to him in a gentle and polite way.
He is worthy of being a brother who was raised in the county town. He is different from the people in their place.
Chen Ji drank the water in the cup in one gulp, looked at Jiang Shian, scratched the back of his head, and asked nervously: "Who is the man sitting over there...?"
Jiang Shian said "Oh", added water to Chen Ji's glass, and explained: "I am a cousin. He specially sent me back this time. He was injured on the way, so he needs to rest for two days."
Chen Ji's face lit up with joy, it turned out that it was not that kind of relationship!
The tiles cannot be placed directly on the roof, as they are not strong enough and may slide down in strong winds or rain. Lime and clay need to be mixed with water to make the tiles stronger.
There are tools such as hoes at home, but they have not been used for a long time and are a bit rusty. It doesn't matter if they are used to mix the soil.
Old man Chen dug a space in the yard, poured clay and lime into it, added water and stirred it into a viscous state.
There was an old wooden barrel at home. After filling the items into the barrel, Chen Ji carried it upstairs.
The worn-out tiles that could no longer be used were thrown directly into the yard. Old man Chen was very skilled in wrapping them in clay and quickly placing them one by one.
The Jiang family used to be a wealthy family in the village, so naturally their house was well built. The beams above still firmly supported the house after all these years, without even a crack.
In an hour, the hole above the kitchen was repaired.
After Jiang Shian confirmed that there was no problem, he picked up a broom and cleaned the tiles and dirt on the ground.
After washing the clothes, Ji Er returned to his room to rest. He was injured and couldn't help much.
Seeing that it was getting late, Jiang Shian took the dishes he was going to cook in the morning to the well to wash them.
There were still some vegetables left over from the purchase, and since he was asking someone to help, he made an extra meat dish.
Chen Ji, who was helping Old Man Chen on the roof, couldn't help but look at Jiang Shian who was washing vegetables below.
The news has spread all over the village these days that something happened to the Jiang family, and the eldest son and his wife have passed away. This youngest son is probably the heartless second son who was driven back.
Most people in the village thought that the young master would definitely not be able to adapt to their countryside. After all, Mr. Jiang used to bring the eldest son and his wife back to visit, but this young master had never shown up.
Some felt pity for him, while others were gloating over the show, thinking that this delicate and tender little master might starve to death any day.
But he saw that the other person was very skilled in washing vegetables, as if he had done it many times before.
"What are you doing? Hand it over!" Old man Chen saw that his son was still not moving, so he turned around and reminded him. "You are usually quite efficient at work, but why are you either dazed or slow this morning? Don't become lazy as you learn more and more, and don't pay attention to things that are not your own business."
Chen Ji nodded, "Father, I know."
Seeing his son's absent-minded look, Old Man Chen didn't say much, but just shook his head helplessly. Even if he returned to the countryside, what would happen? Young Master Jiang's temperament was not worthy of his son who only knew how to farm.
……
Ji Er sat on the wooden bed, looking straight ahead, his eyes unfocused.
He held the jade pendant with the surname "Ji" in his hand, and his slender fingers with calloused hair stroked the patterns on the jade pendant.
Ji Er felt a little annoyed. All he could think about was the look Chen Ji gave Jiang Shian. It was bold and passionate, with obvious love in his eyes.
Jiang Shian is such a good person, it's normal for someone to like him, but he felt uncomfortable when he thought that all his smiles, patience and tenderness would be given to another man in the future.
But thinking carefully, they were not related. If he hadn't saved him, he would have died by now. He still had no idea about his identity. The bloody images that flashed through his mind from time to time told him that his previous identity might be very dangerous.
After frowning and thinking for a while, Ji Er shook his head and threw those unrealistic ideas out of his mind. People like him are probably the ones who repay kindness with enmity.
The voices of Jiang Shian and Chen Ji could be heard from the yard. There was a smile in their clear voices, and it sounded like they were having a good chat.
The man pursed his lips instantly and placed the jade pendant casually on the bedside.
Ji Er stood up and walked out of the yard slowly.
Jiang Shian didn't expect that the Chen family father and son could be so fast. They repaired the kitchen and woodshed roofs in one morning. The only things left were his bedroom, the wing room next to Ji Er where things were piled up, and the main room, which was the worst hit. But at this rate, it should be repaired today.
He was laughing happily when he heard a man's low and hoarse voice behind him: "You are so happy, can you tell me what's going on?"
Jiang Shian turned around, the smile on his face still lingering, "Why did you come out? Your back doesn't hurt anymore!"
The man's originally cold face softened unconsciously when he was dazzled by his smile, and his voice even became softer.
"My injuries have healed a lot because of your care, but my head starts to hurt whenever I think about the past." After he finished speaking, he gave Jiang Shian a slightly weak smile, "I can't just eat and live for free, I also want to do something for you."
It was only at this moment that he relied on his amnesia. If his brothers knew that he had such a side, their jaws would drop.
Jiang Shian has always been a hard-headed person, especially since the man in front of him is so handsome and pretends to be weak, which makes it hard for him to be cruel to him.
He took two steps forward and helped the man to the kitchen. "What are you doing? You're still injured. Come with me to the kitchen. I'll have someone to talk to with you."
"Okay, I'll help you light the fire."
The man raised his eyebrows, and when he saw Chen Ji watching them from a distance, he felt even happier.
Chen Ji stood there looking at the two men's backs. No matter how he looked at them, he found it strange. The two men did not look like cousins, nor did they get along like each other.
Today was all physical work, so Jiang Shian didn't cook porridge, but directly cooked dry rice.
Ji Er was indeed sitting in front of the stove helping him light the fire. He was not good at speaking and didn't know what to say at this moment.
Jiang Shian, on the other hand, was slicing meat while he spoke: "I see that you look like a martial artist. I think hunting won't be a problem for you. When you recover from your injury, how about we go to the mountains to hunt some rabbits?"
Ji Er nodded, "Okay, I'll hunt for you whatever you want to eat."
"That's great!" Jiang Shi'anle's eyes narrowed. "I heard that the prey in the mountains in the countryside is different from the prey in the county town. It's fresher, more tender and tastes better."
Jiang Shian blinked, said "Pooh" in his heart, and almost let the cat out of the bag.
Ji Er looked at him with confusion, the pause just now was a little strange.
But he didn't think much about it and answered, "In addition to hares, there are also roe deer, musk deer, wild boars, and pheasants. What do you want to eat? I'll hunt them for you when the time comes."
