This kitchen helper used to work for a wealthy family. He was very skillful. Later, the family moved away, but he didn't want to leave Yunshui, so he stayed.

With her, Chen finally has some free time.

There was the cook, the kitchen helper and Fang behind, and Daqin, Sanglin and others in front. Chen wanted to go to the farm to see her daughter.

It just so happened that the road they had to go to the farm was long, so Zhou Laoer drove the ox cart and took his wife along.

So this scene appeared on the official road outside Yunlai Town.

The couple in front were sitting on an ox cart, and behind them were sixteen tall and strong men following in an orderly manner.

Passerby A: Don't you think this looks like a noble person's journey? He's riding in an ox cart and wearing ordinary linen clothes.

Don’t you think this is similar... There were more than a dozen tall and strong guards following behind the man.

Passerby B: Maybe it’s some new way for rich people to play…

Weird!

Zhou Lingling was teaching Tie Yuan and the others how to sprout potatoes. When she heard that Chen was coming, she left a group of people scratching their heads and ran away.

"mother!"

"Mom, you're here! I missed you so much!"

Zhou Lingling threw herself into Chen's arms like a young swallow flying into the forest and acted coquettishly.

Chen also hugged her daughter tightly, her eyes a little red.

"Hey! Mom misses you too!"

"It's all my fault that I didn't come to see you earlier..."

It has been ten years, and this is the first time my daughter has been away from me for such a long time.

In the past half month, Chen had no energy to do anything. As soon as she returned to her own yard, she subconsciously asked her daughter what she wanted to eat in the evening.

The courtyard seemed to be bustling, but it was empty. There was no one else there except me and my husband.

The mother and daughter were together for a while before Zhou Lingling saw her father standing next to her mother.

"Oh! Dad, you're here too."

When Zhou Laoer saw his daughter, his enthusiasm had long disappeared.

He looked at his little girl expressionlessly, but tears were bursting in his heart.

Obviously, my daughter was closer to him before...

"It's not just me who's here, look who this is."

Zhou Laoer tilted his head and motioned Zhou Lingling to look behind him.

Zhou Lingling looked up.

I saw a group of people wearing the same clothes as Uncle Tie and the others standing not far away. When Zhou Lingling looked over, they also looked at her.

The look in his eyes confirmed that he was the right person.

"Miss Zhou."

The team leader of this team was Lu Yuan. He took the initiative to step forward and greet Zhou Lingling.

"I'm Lu Yuan, the captain of Team A. Team A consists of sixteen people. We all arrived in Yunlai Town yesterday and are here to take orders from Miss Zhou."

The aura of these sixteen people is no less than that of Uncle Tie and the others, and is even more powerful.

Xiao Yan had already told her that these people were the elite of the Northern Army.

Uncle Tie and his men have been tempered by the years and are calm and reserved, but as long as they want, they can instantly burst out with powerful strength.

But these people are different. They are like swords that have just been unsheathed. They have been tempered, but they are still unable to fully sheathe their sharpness...

Although Zhou Lingling said it was a waste to let these people farm, Xiao Yan said:

"I must do my utmost to ensure that these grains can reach northern Xinjiang smoothly and take root there."

Zhou Lingling took her parents and Lu Yuan and the others in, introducing everything to them as they walked.

Fei Yu was already waiting in the main hall, pushing Xiao Yan.

Seeing this, Lu Yuan and others instantly quickened their pace.

"master!"

More than a dozen people knelt down in unison.

That scene made Zhou Lingling and her family of three quiet down.

Xiao Yan looked at them, his expression more serious than the last time he met Tie Yuan and the others.

"Ah."

"Now that you are here, just follow Miss Zhou's instructions in everything."

Lu Yuan and others agreed, then looked at Zhou Lingling.

Xiao Yan also looked at her.

Zhou Lingling: Well, the pressure is quite great...

She cleared her throat and said, "We don't have much else to do here. We just have to work and take good care of the twenty acres of land in the farm, because the new grain planting has not been made public yet."

"During this time, you must learn how to grow these crops and understand their growth habits and environment. I will open up two acres of waterless sandy land in the farm to simulate the soil in northern Xinjiang..."

When a little girl becomes serious, she is always eye-catching.

Xiao Yan stared at the swirl above her head, wondering what on earth was inside this head...

After Zhou Lingling finished speaking, she didn't even bother to take her parents to their room to rest, and took Lu Yuan and others to the back to find Tie Yuan and others.

No matter how much you say, it’s better to put it into practice.

They are learning how to sprout potatoes, so let’s go together.

Xiao Yan also went together.

Chen felt mixed emotions as she watched her daughter disappear.

She said, my daughter is not here to play.

I haven't seen you for half a month, and your little face looks a lot thinner.

Chen rolled up her sleeves and grabbed Feiyu at the back and asked, "Master Feiyu, where is the kitchen here?"

Feiyu turned around when he heard the voice and said:

"There's a big kitchen on the right. Miss Zhou has hired an aunt to cook for everyone. If you want to use it, there's a small kitchen in the second courtyard."

Xiao Yan said, "Take Brother Zhou Er and Madam Zhou to rest."

In order to facilitate the passage of Xiao Yan's wheelchair, Zhou Lingling had the thresholds of all the courtyards in the house removed except for the main gate.

The small path leading to the back of the village was also paved with stone slabs, so he could go there alone in a wheelchair during this period.

Feiyu didn't hesitate. It was impossible for his master to be without someone by his side now. He agreed and took Zhou Laoer and Chen to the inner courtyard to settle down.

On the contrary, Chen was a little hesitant: "Can Master Xiao do it himself?"

Feiyu smiled and said, "Don't worry, Madam. My master is already very familiar with the manor."

"Look? Miss Zhou has removed the thresholds of each courtyard to make it easier for the master to pass through. It's no problem."

Chen looked at the yard in front of her, which was even larger than their small yard, and sure enough, the threshold at the entrance was gone.

She sighed, "My daughter is someone I can never stop worrying about."

Feiyu deeply agreed.

Miss Zhou is indeed rare. Even the girls from the generals' families in the northern border are rarely so insightful.

**

The weather is getting colder.

Zhou Lingling estimated that the temperature was less than 20 degrees Celsius, and there was still no rain in the entire southern region.

Two days ago, when Chen and Zhou Laoer went to the town, they found that some ragged people with their families had appeared on the road.

Refugees appeared.

Seeing that the Chinese New Year was only half a month away, Zhou Lingling said to Chen:

"Mom, let's bring grandpa and grandma and their family to the farm!"

Chen was a little surprised: "Your grandparents are living well in town..."

Zhou Lingling pursed her lips and said, "Mom, when you came back last time, you said you met refugees on the road. It seems that life is very difficult in some places now."

"Our town is too close to Yunshui County, and most people don't farm. Food will soon become even more scarce. Either prices will skyrocket, making it unaffordable, or refugees will be everywhere..."

"Our village has its own gate and courtyard, and we can be self-sufficient. With Uncle Tie and the others here, our safety is guaranteed. What do you think, mother?"

After hearing what her daughter said, Chen thought for a moment and then understood.

"My dear, you are right. I will ask your father to go get your grandfather and his family."

Zhou Lingling nodded and said, "Mom, please ask my dad to go to the store again. We will close the store for the time being and ask Uncle Daqin and the others to go back to the village first."

"The last time I went to Zhoujia Village, I left 500 kilograms of potatoes at the village chief's house. He said half of them were for Uncle Daqin. You can ask him to get them..."
