After being widowed, I pampered the rough man general by farming

Chapter 25: Tea can make the general help me push the mill

Pei Ji struggled all night, but he couldn't hold back and ran to Xiaohuang Village early in the morning. When he approached the village entrance, he saw Zhu Jiangjiang who was busy drying the quilt in front of Pei's house.

That woman did not repair the roof!

"I wish Jiang Jiang!"

A low and restrained angry voice sounded from behind, Zhu Jiangjiang stopped slapping the quilt, and turned around when he heard the sound, "General Pei?"

"Why are you here?" Seeing Pei Ji, Zhu Jiangjiang expressed surprise.

She thought she had completely offended him last time, but she didn't expect him to come here again.

Pei Ji was still angry with Zhu Jiangjiang just now, angry that she didn't take good care of his sister.

But the moment she turned around and smiled at him, all the anger in his heart melted away, and he unconsciously felt a little sorry for his too harsh tone just now.

"I, I'm here to buy tea." Pei Ji clenched the reins in his hand, trying to hide his panic.

"Buy tea?" Zhu Jiangjiang ran towards him in surprise, almost poking his face with the bamboo pole used to slap the quilt in his hand, "Okay, how much do you want, General Pei?"

He is willing to buy tea, which means that he doesn't mind what happened before.

Then can she continue to ask him to help her push the tea to the capital?

She made no secret of her calculating thoughts, which made Pei Ji slightly dissatisfied, as if she only wanted to do his business and had no other feelings.

"What is the little lady doing?"

He didn't answer her question directly, left a word, bypassed her and walked directly to the door of Pei's house.

Standing at the door and looking around the house, a large area of ​​the house is wet, and footsteps can leave footprints when stepping in. It seems that they suffered a lot last night.

Zhu Jiangjiang followed him and stood behind him, "General Pei, don't go into the house, sit outside, I'll get you some tea."

The rain stopped at midnight last night, the wind blew all night, and the ground outside was drier than at home.

"The tea is not in a hurry, please make me a pot of tea, little lady." Pei Ji stopped Zhu Jiangjiang who went back to the house to get the tea.

He suddenly wanted to stay here for a while and see what she was doing.

The last time he asked magistrate Zhu to inquire about her marriage, he knew that the fact that she was the daughter-in-law of the Pei family could not be changed.

Regardless of whether he marries again in the future, she is his wife in name.

So now there is no harm in getting to know her better.

"Is that so..."

Zhu Jiangjiang thought for a while, then nodded, "I happen to be making breakfast soon, General Pei, you came here so early, have you had breakfast yet? How about having some together?"

It's strange, why did he come so early?

"Thank you." Pei Ji replied bluntly.

Zhu Jiangjiang moved him a chair for him to stay by himself, then dried the unfinished quilt and went to wake Pei Xiaoyu up.

While she was lighting the fire and cooking, Pei Xiaoyu washed herself, tied her hair, and then waited for breakfast with a sleepy face.

Last night, the two sisters-in-law and sister-in-law stayed by the buckets and bowls to catch the rainwater until midnight. When they got up today, they lost the energy of the past, and she didn't even know that there was an extra person in the family.

Zhu Jiangjiang picked up the beans soaked last night while the porridge was cooking on the stove, and was about to go out.

"Little fish, look at the fire, I'll go grind some beans and be right back."

When pounding tea seeds before, seeing that the stone mill next to him was empty, Zhu Jiangjiang thought about buying some beans and grinding soy milk to make tofu.

Just in the past two days, after finishing the work of killing insects in the field, she soaked the beans.

Pei Ji has been quietly watching the busy Zhu Jiangjiang, seeing her go out, he followed her out.

The last time he came to Xiaohuang Village, because of his status, he didn't have the opportunity to visit the village. This time he was finally able to visit the village.

After five years, he can still accurately recognize the people living in every household.

"Look, isn't this the person we mentioned last time who looks like Xiaozhao? Why is he here?"

"Don't talk nonsense, he is a great general, let him hear your head carefully."

In the farmyard I passed by, some villagers were whispering.

Everyone said that the Pei Ji in front of them looked like Pei Zhao who was arrested and taken to the barracks, but after thinking about it carefully, Pei Zhao in their village could not be a general anyway.

So it is natural to think that they are not the same person.

The neighbors who watched him grow up didn't dare to recognize him when they saw him now, Pei Ji felt a bit of sadness in his heart, and his face was full of helpless wry smiles.

Zhu Jiangjiang didn't notice Pei Ji who followed him.

When he got to the millstone, he scooped up two scoops of water and poured it from the hole of the stone mill. After cleaning the millstone, he began to pour beans onto the millstone.

The beans have to be ground while pouring them. Zhu Jiangjiang glanced around, hoping to find a child from the village to help her pour the beans, but today there was not a single child.

I only saw Pei Ji who was incompatible with Xiaohuang Village.

"General Pei, can I trouble you to do me a favor?" She looked at him with a smile on her face.

Pei Ji naturally thought that she wanted him to help push the mill.

But after stepping forward, she just handed him the wooden spoon for scooping up the beans, "I'll push the grinder twice, and you can help me put half a spoonful of beans, as long as you stand."

"You want me to pour the beans for you?" Pei Ji frowned deeply, and he didn't take the spoon she handed over for a long time.

"This doesn't really seem to fit your identity..."

Seeing this, Zhu Jiangjiang thought that he felt that doing such a thing would insult his status as a general, so he withdrew his hand, "Forget it, I'll do it myself."

It's not that she can't do it alone, it's a big deal to spend more time.

As soon as the words fell, before the hands touched the stone mill, a pair of big hands stretched out and grabbed the stone mill first.

The millstone made the sound of turning, and it was Pei Ji who was pushing it!

Pei Ji is wearing a not-so-cheap brocade gown for horseback riding. He has an extraordinary appearance, a cold temperament, and long legs that can make half a circle at a stride. How could such a person help her? !

Is she dazzled?

"What are you still doing in a daze." Pei Ji helped her push through the surprised, curious, and gossiping eyes from all around, but she was still in a daze!

"immediately!"

Zhu Jiangjiang came back to his senses, and hurriedly scooped up a spoonful of beans and poured them on the stone mill.

The tacit cooperation between the two stunned the surrounding villagers who wanted to see but did not dare to watch the excitement directly. Everyone hid in their courtyard walls and looked around, making eye contact.

The intertwined eye contact in the air was very intense, and Zhu Jiangjiang seemed to be able to hear the crackling sounds of the villagers' gossiping eyes colliding.

"Well, General Pei is really approachable. He is so interested in ordinary people's daily affairs, so he has to give it a try..." Zhu Jiangjiang said loudly with embarrassment.

She did it on purpose.

If she doesn't explain this, the villagers will definitely misunderstand her relationship with Pei Ji.

At that time, she may not know what she will be called.

She doesn't mind this kind of gossip, but she has a sister-in-law in her family, so she has to pay attention to it.
