After hearing what her father said, Yichen sat down and discussed it with him seriously, "Dad, what if we figured it out ourselves?"

Ye Zhan looked at his daughter and replied with a weak heart: "Baby, Daddy is good at fighting, but when it comes to developing something useful, Daddy is not good enough."

"My mom is also a civil servant," Yi Chen said worriedly. "Dad, it would be great if you two had another incredibly smart child. As their older sister, I could benefit from their presence."

"Your mother said that you are very smart and always top the class in exams."

"But it's still far from being extremely smart."

"Our baby can also work hard. After all, there are only a few people in this world who can be described as extremely smart."

"Yeah." Yichen nodded, agreeing with what her father said.

As the father and daughter were talking, they heard a commotion outside.

Yichen recognized what was happening, “Looks like grandpa and grandma are here, along with Ninth Brother and the others.” At this moment, Yichen really wanted to poke a hole in the window paper.

Ye Zhan wanted to, but he couldn't and was powerless.

Seeing the old man and his grandchildren rubbing their hands in preparation for slaughtering the sheep, Old Lady Ye brought Changsheng over to provide cover. "It's too cold out here, and it's getting dark soon. I'd better take Changsheng inside. It's warm inside."

"Well, it's warm inside. Xiaojun, Qilang and the other two should stay inside too. It's too cold outside."

"Aunt, we are not afraid of the cold. We want to watch Grandpa kill the sheep."

"Yes, mother, I am not afraid of the cold either."

Jiang Yan: These naughty kids seem to be quite cold-resistant, especially Qilang and his two brothers. Their coats don’t seem as thick as those of Dajun and his two brothers.

If you stay outside for a long time, you will get frozen.

General Ye was also worried that the children would get cold, so he ordered Wu Lang and Liu Lang, "You two go outside and bring some firewood, and light a fire in this yard."

"Hey, Grandpa, let's go now."

"You two, remember to keep an eye on the fire and don't let sparks fly everywhere."

"Grandfather, don't worry, we understand."

The fire in the yard was lit, which not only made it brighter but also a lot warmer.

When the five members of the Zhang family saw the fire in the Jiang family's yard, they all put on their coats and ran over.

With the help of Zhang Xiaoqi, the three sheep were quickly slaughtered. The subsequent skinning and gutting were much easier for these experienced hands.

By the time they finished packing the three sheep, it was already midnight.

I don't know when snowflakes started floating in the sky, and the north wind seemed to be stronger.

The fire in the yard had been extinguished long ago at the insistence of General Ye.

General Ye was still worried, so he asked Jiang Yan to bring a few basins of water and pour them on the extinguished fire before he felt relieved.

General Ye looked at the sky again, and the snowflakes were becoming thicker and thicker.

"After this snow, the weather will be even colder."

"Yes! This time of year is the most difficult." Zhang Xiaoqi looked at Madam Jiang and his wife still packing things, and the gratitude in his tone became even stronger. "This year, thanks to Madam Jiang's various help, every household in the Thirteen Banners is much better off than in previous years."

"Especially since everyone can eat meat." General Ye felt warm in his heart when he thought of the five injured horses that Jiang Yan secretly sent to them.

"Yes, in this bad weather, eating some meat can help keep you warm."

General Ye has been stationed in the northwest for his entire life. The weather there is somewhat similar to here, except that the wind and sand are stronger than here.

With the help of Guan, Jiang Yan finally cleaned up everything that needed to be cleaned up. Seeing that General Ye and Zhang Xiaoqi were still talking, she thought of getting them something to eat.

After all, it was such cold weather and they had been busy for most of the night, so they must be cold and hungry.

Jiang Yan took the dough that had been kneaded long ago and quickly made a pot of hot soup noodles.

Ye Sanlang and Ye Silang, who had just entered the kitchen to warm themselves by the fire, also had slightly moved expressions.

Jiang Yan took out a few large bowls from the cupboard and filled each person's bowl.

General Ye and Zhang Xiaoqi didn't let Jiang Yan put up the table. They sat by the stove and ate the noodle soup in the heat of the stove, which made them feel warmer.

Jiang Yan looked at the old general's trembling hands, which were wrinkled and red from the cold wind, and felt a little uncomfortable.

She opened the door of the storehouse and took out a small jar.

Before Jiang Yan opened the wax seal, Zhang Xiaoqi's eyes changed.

"Girl, what is this...?"

When Guan heard that the head of the household had changed the way she addressed Jiang, she looked over curiously.

At this moment, everyone in the kitchen was looking at the jar in Jiang Yan's hand.

Jiang Yan quickly replied, "This is the sorghum wine I brewed a few days ago. Since we didn't grow much sorghum this year, I didn't dare to make wine from it all, so I only got this jar."

Seeing everyone looking at her with unspeakable expressions, Jiang Yan could only speak faster. "It's too cold out here. Everyone, have a drink to warm yourself up."

While Jiang Yan was talking, Guan had already taken out a few small bamboo tubes used as cups from the cupboard. Jiang Yan carefully filled them up for everyone.

General Ye looked at the sorghum wine, which was as clear as spring water, in disbelief and was reluctant to drink it.

Zhang Xiaoqi also held the cup and kept sniffing, "If this flavor were brought to Black Stone City, there would be a lot of people rushing to buy a small jar for ten taels of silver."

Zhang Xiaoqi finished speaking and took a small sip. "Oh, this tastes so good! I think I thought ten taels of silver was too little."

General Ye listened to Zhang Xiaoqi's cry and reluctantly took a sip. The old general smacked his lips and said after a while: "Good stuff."

"Yeah." Zhang Xiaoqi agreed. General Ye had seen all sorts of good things. They all said Jiang Meizi's wine was good, so his wine could only be better.

Guan also got a small cup and sat beside her, sipping it slowly. After a while, her face turned slightly red.

Jiang Yan was afraid that she was drunk and wanted to persuade her not to drink anymore, but seeing how Guan was enjoying herself, Jiang Yan couldn't bear to take the cup away from her.

It was still Sanlang and Silang who were self-disciplined. The two brothers each took a sip and put the cup on the stove in front of their grandfather.

Zhang Xiaoqi envied General Ye and secretly glanced at his wife. Seeing her face flushed, he gently took the cup from her hand and drank it all in one gulp.

"Hey~" Guan was a little drunk, so she put her arm around her man's shoulders, acting like a good brother.

Zhang Xiaoqi really liked his wife's drunken state, but there were other people here, so he spoke up to cover up for Guan: "Wife, are you better than them?"

"A great victory over them..." Guan really couldn't remember for a moment.

Jiang Yan knew, "Several boys are asleep in the west room."

"Are they all in the West Room?"

"Yeah. The three Daisho brothers, as well as Goro, Rokuro, and Shichiro."

"And Dajun and Xiaojun."

"Ah."
