Chapter 368 People's Will

Then, Lu Huaiyang rolled a snowball without changing his expression, held it in his hand, and brought it into the room calmly.

Everyone was stunned.

Lu Huaiyang felt a little embarrassed for a moment, but he didn't show it. He took the snowball and seriously presented it to Ye Nanyue.

When Ye Nanyue saw the snowball, she was speechless for a moment.

Then he took it silently, put it aside silently, and lay down silently.

Lu Huaiyang also lay down silently, touched her hand, which was cold after she had just squeezed the snowball, and then he pushed her hand into his arms, holding it in his arms to warm it up...

Fortunately, he has calmed down completely.

There was no longer that fiery aura on his body.

So, Ye Nanyue didn't dare to breathe and just closed her eyes and fell asleep.

The next day.

Aunt Guihua and the servants were working quietly outside when Ye Nanyue woke up.

Seeing that she woke up, Lu Huaiyang got up and washed up with her.

After a simple breakfast, the group went to the fields again.

Because of the instructions given last night, someone was already harvesting potatoes on the Ye family's land early in the morning.

Old Man Ye, Big Brother Ye and Second Brother Ye also got up early to collect together.

Part of these potatoes will be brought to Beijing to be studied by the Ministry of Works, and the rest will be shown to the emperor.

Old man Ye was particularly proud.

How can I not be happy when my own potatoes and land have become experimental subjects?

He looked very motivated and couldn't stop smiling.

Ye Nanyue signed a new contract with the village head, and the task of harvesting the potatoes was left to Lu Zhenghao.

This matter is quite important, and they don’t trust ordinary people.

These are seeds, to be spread everywhere to create more potatoes.

It's about food rations for the next two years.

So, we can't be careless at all.

Don't be casual about it.

I feel relieved that Lawrence Lu is staying here.

Ye Nanyue calculated that if this batch could be planted, combined with the sweet potatoes and everyone's stored grain, it should not be a problem to survive the next two years.

There should be water sources in some beautiful mountains.

At that time, we have to let the soldiers search more, especially near their camp.

If they could find potatoes and there were no war, these people would be able to survive better by growing potatoes.

After dealing with the matters in Yejia Village, they had lunch at the headman's house and prepared to go back.

Lu Zhenghao stayed, they had to hurry back.

After lunch, Ye Nanyue walked out of the yard and saw many villagers gathered in the yard. They were talking in low voices, as if they were waiting for her to come out.

As soon as they saw Ye Nanyan, everyone knew her, so an aunt came forward and said, "Nanyan, have you eaten?"

Lu Huaiyang stood next to Ye Nanyue. Even though he had deliberately restrained his aura, he was still a little fearful in the eyes of these ordinary people.

So, when everyone looked at Lu Huaiyang, there was still some fear in their eyes.

Ye Nanyue looked at the people in the yard. Almost all of them were holding baskets of different sizes in their hands.

And most of the people who come here are aunts and young wives.

"I've eaten."

Ye Nanyan took a step forward, stood in front of Lu Huaiyang, and asked everyone: "Aunts, sisters-in-law, do you want to talk to me about something?"

Could it be that he knows her identity and has some request?

Ye Nanyan was just thinking about it when she saw the aunt standing in the front said to her, "Nanyan, everyone is here to bring you something."

"Sending something?" Ye Nanyue was puzzled.

The aunt hurriedly removed the cloth covering the basket, revealing half a basket of chicken and duck eggs mixed together. "This is a little gift from everyone, all from our own home. They're not fancy, so don't despise them."

Ye Nanyan was surprised and flattered: "Aunt, what are you doing?"

The original owner had a bad reputation in Yejia Village.

Let alone sending her anything, it’s good enough that these aunts and sisters-in-law don’t talk nonsense about her behind her back.

The aunt smiled at Ye Nanyue and said, "Everyone knows that these seeds are thanks to you. No one in our village thought that we could have such a good harvest before the New Year. Now every household has food. We have to thank you."

"Yes, we know you are going back to Beijing. These things are our token of appreciation. Please don't despise them."

An old lady also stepped forward and opened her basket.

In the basket was half a piece of bacon and half a salted fish.

The others also came forward and opened their baskets.

Some people share a chicken with two people, some share fish, some share chili peppers, garlic, etc., there is everything.

The most common thing is the eggs that everyone has stockpiled.

Ye Nanyan looked at it and couldn't help but feel moved. She said, "Everyone, I can't keep these. I had seeds at the time, but my family couldn't plant them all, so I shared them with everyone."

"So, aunts and sisters-in-law don't need to thank me."

The aunt who spoke first looked at Ye Nanyan with some reluctance and said, "Nanyan, what are you talking about? You... do you look down on these things? Do you think these things are not good?"

Ye Nanyan said hurriedly: "No, no."

"I know these things are the most precious things in everyone's home. I am very grateful to my aunts and sisters-in-law for thinking so highly of me."

"But we can't bring that much back, and it's not convenient on the road, so let's not waste it all."

"So... everyone keep it for yourself."

"As for the potatoes, I suggest everyone warm up the house before the New Year and plant them again when the weather warms up and the snow melts."

"If you have the conditions, please dig your own well and store more water."

Ye Nanyue told everyone everything she could say and explain.

Everyone looked at her one by one. Although they didn't understand, they nodded in agreement: "Nan Yan, we will remember what you said."

For them, Ye Nanyue helped them harvest so much grain, so everyone was willing to believe whatever she said.

Ye Nanyue heaved a sigh of relief after hearing their agreement: "Okay, as long as everyone believes what I say."

She symbolically took a few things and comforted everyone before leaving with Lu Huaiyang.

Lu Huaiyang and Xie Qiyang were watching her from the side. Seeing her handle these things with ease and patiently explain to everyone, they were a little surprised by her words and actions.

Looking at Ye Nanyue this way, for some reason, I always feel that she has a different temperament.

Xie Qiyang couldn't put it into words, but he felt that there was a different kind of light shining from his sister.

But Lu Huaiyang seemed to understand something.

Ye Nanyue...seems to have the demeanor of a mother of the nation.

Correct.

Once he thought of this possibility, Lu Huaiyang felt more and more that it was true.

After sending these villagers away, Ye Nanyue and his party got on the carriage and headed for the capital.

When we returned to the capital, it was already completely dark.

They ate a little on the way, and as soon as they returned to the palace, Lu Huaiyang took the potatoes brought in the carriage and went into the palace first.
