The dead general was kidnapped by his husband and taken to farm.

The two brothers ate voraciously. Fangzi, being older, was more able to control his emotions, but his red eyes still revealed his emotions.

Yuanzi was still young after all, and she ate with tears in her eyes. The sweet potato in her hand was still steaming, and she didn't care whether it was hot or not. She gave half to her brother and stuffed it directly into her mouth.

Jiang Shian stood up and poured them both a glass of water. "Eat slowly. If you want more, I'll make it for you in the evening."

After eating, Fangzi took the bamboo basket and went to work. Jiang Shian asked Huang Fugui to help look after Yuanzi, and he went back to the kitchen to continue refining oil, only coming out to take a look from time to time.

Yuanzi was still sensible. When she saw that the puppies didn't bite people, she squatted in the yard and played with the puppies without crying or making a fuss.

When the ashes were almost burned, the children who had gone out to collect shells came back. A basket was not heavy for two people to carry.

Jiang Shian taught Huang Fugui how to roast them. When the surface of the shells turned blue-gray, he could pick them out and put them in a basket. After roasting other shells again, he could use a mortar to crush them and pick them out.

Jiang Shian saw that the little guys were quite serious and didn't slack off. When they came back, they gathered together and took out the cakes they bought in town and gave each of them a piece.

There was a wooden table in the yard, and children were sitting in a circle on several stools around the table. They ate and talked to Jiang Shian about interesting things in the village with a smile on their faces.

Jiang Shian was amused by them and laughed out loud. He was relaxed and happy in a way that he had never seen before.

After eating, everyone was full of energy. They poured all the crumbs of the biscuits in their hands into their mouths, and continued to pick up shells by the river with bamboo baskets.

This job is really easy. There are cakes to eat and a copper coin to earn in the evening. I just wonder what delicious food Brother Shi An will make in the evening.

With the help of several children, he saved a lot of trouble. Although they were small, they worked very hard. There were many large and small jars and barrels in the yard, all of which were lye water. After the lye water was completely precipitated tomorrow morning, it could be mixed with grease and then dried in bamboo tubes.

The whole day is busy like this.

Shortly after the sun set, an orange-red sunset glow was still burning in the distant sky.

Jiang Shian was busy preparing dinner in the kitchen, and these little ones were not idle either, helping him wash vegetables and light the fire.

Seeing the bowl of noodles that had risen on the table, they all opened their mouths wide. It would have been nice to have some dumpling soup or rough noodles, but when they were kneading the noodles just now, they saw that Brother Shi An had put a lot of white flour into it.

Since there were so many people, Jiang Shian planned to make a few more staple foods, including steamed buns, steamed bread, and pancakes. These little guys helped him a lot today.

The chives in the yard were ready to be harvested, and Jiang Shian went to the village to buy a lot of eggs. He made scallion pancakes, which were fragrant and crispy and very refreshing to eat. He also made buns with egg and chive fillings and tofu and bamboo shoots.

After beating the eggs and frying them, add the leeks and stir-fry until fragrant before serving on a plate. Chop the tofu and bamboo shoots into small cubes and fry them with chili peppers. When you break them open when you eat them later, they will surely ooze red oil. Jiang Shian could imagine that these little guys would be drooling with greed.

I still have a lot of sweet potatoes I bought, so I put them in glutinous rice flour and steam them together with the buns later.

There were also large bones given as gifts. After cleaning, they were directly put into the pot and stewed. He simply put orange peel and bay leaves in it. Each person could drink a bowl of bone soup during dinner, so there were both meat and vegetables.

Knead the dough until smooth, then roll it out thinly with a rolling pin, brush it with oil and sprinkle with chopped green onions.

Pour a little oil into the pan and lubricate the edges of the pan with oil. Then put the pancake in and fry it. Turn it over when it is shaped, and cook until both sides are crispy before serving in a bowl.

As the first basket of buns came out of the pot, Ji Yinghuai came back driving the carriage.

When he entered the door and saw a bunch of little radishes in the yard, Ji Yinghuai was a little surprised. He jumped off the carriage, unloaded the carriage, and then tied Heifeng under a tree to let him eat grass.

All the children looked up at the big black horse that was several times taller than themselves, and took a few steps back for fear of being stepped on.

This horse looks really majestic.

They were not afraid of Ji Yinghuai, because they knew he was Shi An's elder brother. They thought that since An was such a good person, this elder brother would not be bad either. They did not know Ji Yinghuai's name, so they called him like Jiang Shi An.

Then the yard was filled with the sound of "Brother" one after another.

"Brother, your black horse looks so handsome. It's so tall. Will it kick me?"

"Big brother, can I touch it?"

"Brother, you are so handsome, no wonder you are Brother Shian's eldest brother."

Ji Yinghuai stood there motionless, not sure whether he was frightened by the scene or for some other reason.

Jiang Shian leaned against the door with his eyes curved into a smile.

Not to mention it's quite amusing to see the man at a loss as to what to do.

Ji Yinghuai was dazed for a moment when he heard the crisp voice of his brother. When he was young, there was also a little kid following him and calling him brother. When did this change?

Ji Yinghuai came to his senses when someone grabbed his pants. He looked down and saw that it was the fat boy Huang Fugui.

Huang Fugui had seen him injured before, and he always avoided him when he came to his house to play. Whenever he made eye contact with him, he would immediately shrink behind Jiang Shian.

"Why, little fatty, aren't you afraid of me anymore?" he asked deliberately.

It would be fine if you didn't speak, but once you open your mouth you say things that others don't like to hear.

When Huang Fugui heard the word "little fat man", his smiling face immediately fell, but looking at the majestic black horse in front of him, he was still eager to try.

"Hey, I was the one who applied medicine to you when you were injured last time, and you haven't thanked me yet." Huang Fugui nervously tugged at the back of Ji Yinghuai's clothes.

Ji Yinghuai raised his eyebrows, he actually forgot about it.

He half bent down, his expression softened, "How do you want me to thank you?"

"Hehe." Huang Fugui grinned when he heard this, pointed at the black horse, and patted his chest, "Can you let me sit on it for a while? I haven't ridden a big horse before."

Ji Yinghuai looked Huang Fugui up and down. If he ate any more, he would be as fat as a small ball. He teased him deliberately, "Aren't you afraid of falling? I won't be responsible if you get hurt."

"Don't be afraid, but you have to remember to hold on to me."

"Okay." As soon as Ji Yinghuai finished speaking, he reached out, picked up Huang Fugui and put him directly on the horse's back.

"Ahhhh..."

Huang Fugui was startled by his sudden action. When he landed, he realized that he was already sitting on a big horse. He immediately put his hands around the horse's neck and dared not move. He tilted his head to look at Ji Yinghuai and muttered, "Why did you launch a surprise attack? You didn't even tell me."

Sitting on the horse's back, looking at his friend who had suddenly become shorter, he adjusted himself after a while, then loosened the horse's neck and slowly sat up straight.

Ji Yinghuai stood by and watched, patting Heifeng's head with his big hand, and Heifeng just stood there, letting the little fat boy on his body squeak and scream.

Huang Fugui was so excited that he screamed and laughed excitedly. He pointed at the people below and said, "Look at me, I am the mighty general in the storybook now. You are so short that I can only see the top of your heads."

The four people below looked up at him with some envy in their eyes, but also some fear, as they didn't dare to sit so high.

After watching Huang Fugui sitting on the horse and showing off for a while, someone carefully pulled Ji Yinghuai and said that he also wanted to go up and try.

Jiang Shian watched for a while and then went back to the kitchen to busy himself. Several people outside kept pestering Ji Yinghuai to ride on horses.

Ji Yinghuai picked up one and then put him down, then picked up another one. The boys were having a lot of fun.

It was not until Heifeng started to make a fuss that Ji Yinghuai took the others to the kitchen. If the noise continued, Heifeng would get angry.

You have to know that when Heifeng first followed him, he didn't even give him face, and had a bad temper and would kick people at any time. Later, he really recognized him as his master and his temper improved a little, but if others wanted to ride on him, he would never allow it.
