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

"Xiaoyu, where's your sister-in-law?"

Pei Ji had been in the house for a while, and there was no one else in the house except Pei Xiaoyu and a little girl who was about her age.

"My sister-in-law went to another village to exchange food. The third brother and the fifth sister are plowing the grain seeds in the field. Only Xiaojiu and I are at home."

Pei Xiaoyu stretched out a palm, and slowly and clearly counted the whereabouts of the family members for Pei Ji.

However, even if she counted so clearly, Pei Ji still looked dazed.

Since when did there be so many brothers and sisters in the family?

However, seeing Pei Xiaoyu's ignorant and innocent appearance, she probably couldn't explain clearly, so they should wait for Zhu Jiangjiang to come back.

Fortunately, Zhu Jiangjiang's rescue operation is coming to an end, today is the last village in Jiangnan Town, and it will be over when he is done.

So when she came home, the sun had not yet set, and it was the earliest day when she came back recently.

Before entering the village, she turned into the field ridge to see how the third child and the others were planting grain.

"Xiao Wu, come up when you finish your hands. Let's go home early today, and I'll cook for you." Zhu Jiangjiang shook the fish in his hand, and shouted happily to several people in the field.

She and Zhou Liang went to the village north of Jiangnan Town today. When they came back, they passed by the city and bought fish and meat. They made a big meal and rewarded themselves.

"it is good."

The few people bent over and busy in the field hurriedly finished their work, came out to wash their hands and feet in the ditch on the ridge of the field, and walked towards Xiaohuang Village with buckets and baskets.

"I wish my sister, all the grain seeds will be planted tomorrow, and we will go to plow the field after the grain seeds are planted. After the plowing is done, the seedlings will be fully grown, and we can plant them directly..."

Several people talked and laughed, sharing the progress of the field work.

I wish Jiang Jiang is willing to hand over the full power of the land to them, and they must work hard for her!

Just as they were talking, they were startled by two men standing with knives at the gate of the yard before they got close to the yard.

The men were upright and unsmiling, with blue veins in their hands holding the handle of the knife. When they saw someone approaching, the two immediately became vigilant.

Judging from their demeanor, Zhu Jiangjiang could probably guess their identities, either from the yamen or from the barracks.

It's official anyway, and they're here for one purpose.

Ask her for food!

"I'm back." Zhu Jiangjiang walked in without being affected by the eyes of those two.

"Sister-in-law, Brother General is here!"

Hearing the sound, Pei Xiaoyu ran out to meet them, followed by a familiar man.

"General Pei?!"

Seeing the person in front of him, Zhu Jiangjiang couldn't calm down now, "Why are you?"

Didn't Mingji go to the capital to become a high official?Why did you come back to this broken place so soon?

"You were demoted so soon?" Zhu Jiangjiang blurted out, it was hard for her not to think so.

"presumptuous!"

Before Pei Ji got angry because of her unscrupulous words, another man who came out of the room scolded her first.

"Little country woman, dare to talk about the first-rank general of the dynasty, why don't you kneel down and apologize to the general!"

The person who spoke was Chen Qinming. As a small seventh-rank magistrate, he naturally wanted to defend and curry favor with higher-ranking officials.

What's more, Pei Ji is the first rank, the highest rank of generals, a position that he will never reach in his life.

Zhu Jiangjiang glanced at the frail middle-aged man walking towards her, the corner of his mouth twitched, and then saluted Pei Ji in a perfunctory and disgusting manner.

"I'm sorry, General Pei. Hello, General Pei. Goodbye, General Pei. I won't see you off."

Come to her house to show off?

I'm sorry, she's someone who doesn't fear the court if she doesn't do bad things.

"No, little lady, there is no need to be too polite..." Pei Ji was so frightened that he wanted to help her up, but she had already finished saluting and stood up straight.

"Sister Zhu, give me the things." Xiao Wu felt that Zhu Jiangjiang might not be able to leave for a while, so he went up to her and asked her for the things in her hand, and wanted to take them to the kitchen.

Zhu Jiangjiang gave Xiao Wu what was in his hand, and then gave Pei Ji a wink, signaling him to take a step to speak.

The two came to the vegetable field and saw weeds growing in the vegetable field. While squatting down to weed, she asked, "General, who is that man? The official authority is greater than you."

Seeing her weeding so naturally and smoothly, Pei Ji brought out his farmer's nature, his hands were itchy, so he simply knelt down and weeded with her.

"That's Mr. Chen, the magistrate of Jiangbei Prefecture. The two of us came here today to borrow food from you. I heard that you are exchanging food for food and saved the people of the whole town. Is there such a thing?"

"I don't dare to be responsible for saving the people in the town, but I am indeed doing food for food, so if you want to borrow food, I will not borrow it, I will just exchange it." Zhu Jiangjiang said seriously.

When he raised his head, he caught sight of the skillful movements in his hands, and was stunned for a moment.

Isn't he a first-rank general?How to do farming so smoothly.

"Why do you only want to exchange food? If you sell food, this opportunity is once in a lifetime." For some reason, Pei Ji suddenly wanted to ask her this question.

"Are you testing me?"

I wish Jiangjiang was not stupid, as soon as he heard this question, he knew what he was thinking.

He wanted to test her nature, her bottom line.

She didn't know how high the price of food in the city was at this time, but she didn't choose to sell it.

Her directness made Pei Ji feel guilty towards her for a moment, but more of it was emotional, "Little lady, you are too smart, this will put a lot of pressure on your future husband."

He's feeling the pressure now.

"Boring." Zhu Jiangjiang glanced at him, and brought the topic back to the topic, "How about it, do you want to change this food or not? Don't waste my time, I still have to cook."

From rushing to harvest food in advance to now, she has gone out early and returned late, and has been exhausted for nearly a month. She has never had a chance to have a good meal. She doesn't want to waste time playing Tai Chi with them.

"Change!"

"Then ask your people to leave first, and the other adults are also together, so as not to scare my younger brothers and sisters." Zhu Jiangjiang glanced back.

She was very upset with that lord, if Pei Ji could make the decision, then the others could leave.

Pei Ji smiled lightly, she was still so fond of holding grudges, "Okay, I'll let Master Chen go back first."

When Chen Qinming was invited to leave, he was very angry and very dissatisfied. How dare a village girl treat the imperial court officer like this, it really pissed him off!

However, due to the pressure Pei Ji put on him, he didn't dare to say much, so he could only leave sullenly.

Zhu Jiangjiang doesn't care how unhappy he is, anyway, she is very happy and hums a little tune when cooking.

I don't know if it's because she hasn't had a good meal for a long time, or because Pei Ji's reappearance made her feel happy.

"Little lady, who are those people in the family, why are they still not leaving at such a late hour?"

Pei Ji came to the kitchen and only asked the question in his heart when Zhu Jiangjiang was alone in the kitchen.

He thought those people were workers that Zhu Jiangjiang had invited to help with the work. It was the same as when picking tea. When the tea came back, they went back to their respective homes.

But who knew, as the sky was getting dark, they had no intention of leaving.
