It was rejected.

Zhou Lingling stared at her toes without saying a word, silently refusing.

Xiao Yan said seriously, "If possible, I hope you can prepare the food and seeds within two days. We will set off in two days."

"Uncle Tie and the others will be in your care from now on. Lu Yuan and the others will also stay here until this batch of grain is ripe."

Han You also returned from Zhoujia Village a few days ago. Now there are nearly a hundred people living in the entire village.

I think even if the number of refugees increases again in the future, they will have enough ability to protect themselves in this chaotic world.

Both of them were making arrangements according to their own ideas.

After Xiao Yan explained all this, he disappeared from the manor that same day, and even Fei Yu was nowhere to be seen.

Fuguier said, "The shadow that often lay on the beam has also run away."

Zhou Lingling felt a little melancholy, but she did not give up her idea.

She ran to find Chen and Zhou Laoer who had just returned from the fields.

The two men were talking and laughing. They hadn't worked in the fields for a long time.

Compared with the tiring work they did every day at Old Zhou's house, now working in the fields is a pure way for the couple to relax.

A large group of young men rushed to do all the dirty and tiring work, and they could only stand by and watch.

"Father! Mother!"

"I have something to tell you!"

The daughter's voice came from outside, and the couple got off the stools in unison and walked towards the door.

Chen stopped her daughter who was running very fast and asked her, "What's the matter, my daughter? Why are you in such a hurry?"

"Be careful not to lose your breath."

Zhou Lingling's face was not red and she was not out of breath. She is now different from before. This small amount of exercise is easy for her!

"Mom, I have something very important to discuss with you and Dad."

Seeing their daughter's serious expression, Chen and Zhou Laoer looked at each other, and the three of them turned around and went back to their room and closed the door.

"what?!"

"I don't agree! This is impossible!"

Zhou Laoer's loud voice echoed throughout the yard. If everyone else hadn't returned yet, someone would have come knocking on the door.

However, Wu Xiucai, who lived in the small courtyard next door, and Chen Jiaping, who was studying with him, also heard the roar.

The master and the disciple both turned their eyes away from the book at the same time.

"Is this Tuesday's voice?" asked Wu Xiucai.

Chen Jiaping frowned slightly and nodded: "It's my uncle's voice."

Both of them were a little confused. Why was Zhou Laoer, who was always good-tempered, so angry?

Chen Jiaping thought about it and closed the book.

"Teacher, I'll go over there and take a look."

Wu Xiucai nodded and said, "Go ahead."

He was just a guest of the Zhou family and could barely be considered Zhou Chi's mentor, so he was brought to the manor with the Chen family when the chaos first appeared.

I provide this child with delicious food and drink every day, and I can only teach him everything I know. As for other things, I don’t want to say much.

Chen Jiaping said goodbye to the teacher and stood up to walk out of the small courtyard.

the other side,

Zhou Lingling put her hands on her ears, lowered her head, and was pitifully scolded by her parents in turn.

Chen: "You are a little girl. What kind of place is Northern Xinjiang? Can you go there?"

Zhou Laoer: "Your mother is right. The northern barbarians come to the northern border every year to burn, kill and plunder. That place is very dangerous! You, a little girl, definitely can't go there!"

Chen: "Your father and I only have one daughter like you. If you say you want to go to such a far place, wouldn't that be like cutting our flesh with a knife?"

Zhou Laoer: "Yes, your mother is right. If you get hurt, hungry, or cold, your mother and I will be heartbroken."

The couple talked for a long time. Seeing that her daughter was not listening at all, Chen gave up and said:

"I knew that Xiao was no good. He even tried to deceive a ten-year-old girl!"

As Chen spoke, her eyes became red.

"They're sending guards and farmhands. It seems they're trying to kidnap my daughter..."

"Our family has worked so hard to live the life we ​​have now..." But the daughter just wanted to run away.

Zhou Lingling quickly put down her hand that was pinching her ear and hugged Chen.

"mother……"

"Mom, don't cry..."

Zhou Laoer was also spinning around anxiously: "Wife, don't cry! My daughter hasn't been dealt with yet, why are you crying..."

Upon hearing this, Chen immediately retorted:

"Deal with your daughter? What can you do with her?"

"Tie her up with a rope and don't let her go?"

Chen cried because she knew that she would unconditionally meet all of her daughter's requests.

Because she knew in her heart that she couldn't stop her daughter from doing what she wanted to do.

Chen held her daughter in her arms and burst into tears.

"Mother knows. Mother knows you are capable. Mother also knows why you are growing crops and going to the northern border."

She was not sure at first, but ever since the refugees showed up, all the thoughts in Chen's mind became clear.

"Mother only hates herself for being incompetent and unable to help you at all, while having to be protected by you everywhere..."

Zhou Lingling felt a little suffocated.

It was not only because his mother hugged him tightly, but also because of this strong and direct feeling.

She knew that her parents loved her.

Always known.

It is even possible that he knows that he is no longer his original self.

She was trembling with fear from the beginning, fearing that they would find out that she was not her original self and take back all their feelings.

If you never get it, of course you won’t be afraid.

But she had it.

So she was afraid.

But during the many days and nights she spent away from Zhoujia Village, it was Chen and Zhou Laoer who used practical actions to tell her that she was their daughter, their only daughter.

They loved her just as much, with all their might.

So she started to act willfully, openly taking things out of the space and exchanging them for silver at pawnshops in town and in the county.

Braised food recipes, buying a yard, brewing wine, buying a teahouse, and asking a merchant Zhou Laoer knew from the past to buy large quantities of food from Jiangnan and bring it back to the tavern for unlimited supply...

Her actions could be described as outrageous, but Chen and Zhou Laoer were accustomed to them.

Zhou Lingling suddenly felt her eyes a little sore, thinking that she could have such good parents even though she was born in a book.

"Mom..." Otherwise, I don't have to go.

At worst, they could use the most troublesome method. She would provide them with food regularly and let Xiao Yan find a way to transport it to the northern border.

But before Zhou Lingling could tell her about the decision she had just changed, Chen wiped away her tears and said with a firm face:

"My dear, I have made up my mind. I want to go with you!"

Zhou Lingling: “Huh???”

Zhou Laoer, who was standing by, also quickly raised his hand: "Wife, I want to follow you! You can't leave me behind..."

Zhou Lingling: What the hell?

Chen wiped the tears from her face and regained her composure after a while.

"My daughter, you are going to the Northern Frontier to do great things, and I have to take care of you."

The more Chen spoke, the more determined she became, and the more scared Zhou Lingling became.
