Chapter 139 Leaving Pangpang behind

Shangguan Mingzhi raised his eyebrows slightly, looking at the little fat man with eyes full of endless fatherly love. The corners of his mouth pursed up unconsciously, and his face was gentler than ever before.

"I see that Pangpang is very relaxed at Aunt Jiang. He hasn't laughed like this for a long time. I wasn't worried when he said he would stay at your place for a few days last night. But now that I see him like this, I feel at ease."

??

Jiang Yan's eyes widened.

"What? Stay overnight? How many more days?"

"Huh?" Shangguan Mingzhi was confused: "Quanzi said that you tried your best to invite him home as a guest and would stay for a few days. After all, this child has never left my side since he was a child, so I thought of sending him here in person."

"Isn't it...isn't it?" Shangguan Mingzhi hesitated.

Shangguan Mingzhi was also stunned.

Shangguan Zixuan is an only child and has no other brothers-in-law. Because his family is too laid-back, he has a playful and innocent temperament, and is always easily deceived. Therefore, Shangguan Mingzhi controls him very strictly, so even if he doesn't like the messiness and simplicity of the countryside,

You can also play it satisfactorily and happily.

Every year during the harvest season, refugees flee in all directions and bandits are prevalent. If the nearby bandit dens had not been accidentally wiped out this year, their Linjia Village might have been the first to suffer.

It would be better for Shangguan Mingzhi to send his stupid son over directly. If anything happens, where will she cry?

Shangguan Zixuan looked like a fool at first sight. He would tell everyone he met that his family was very poor, but he could give you a big gold ingot at the same time. No matter how you looked at him, he looked like a troublemaker.

"Don't worry, Aunt Jiang, I just want to send Pangpang to exercise. As you know, this kid has a big heart and a brain that seems to be missing a string. Helping you with the autumn harvest is just a way to practice."

The more Shangguan Mingzhi talked about it, the more it made sense: "There will be cars coming to the village these days to bring goods. If he wants to go back, there will be people following him back and forth. You don't have to worry about his safety."

Jiang Yan was still thinking about the words to refuse, when she saw Shangguan Mingzhi pushing the cakes on the table to please her. She murmured, but finally said nothing.

As the old saying goes, if you eat someone with short hands, you will be soft-spoken.

She is now!

After the carriage was equipped, Shopkeeper Fu and his party were waiting by the roadside. The road from the factory to the village was originally just a new trail for workers, but the carriage cut over the entire road and opened a new road.

Jiang Yan led Shangguan Mingzhi and Shopkeeper Fu to the field to see the pepper seedlings. The three of them turned around and went to the field not far away. The pepper seedlings were growing very well, and the soil was still a little wet.

When you step on it, you will know how well the villagers take care of it. After transplanting the pepper seedlings, they need to be planted hard at intervals of about ten centimeters. It has been a month now and they have grown more than ten or twenty centimeters high. The warm breeze

When it blows, it becomes a lush green patch, and every plant sways with the wind.

"What's the smell?" Shangguan Mingzhi took a few deep breaths, but couldn't smell anything.

Jiang Yan suddenly said: "The smell of farmyard manure."

She's used to it.

Shangguan Mingzhi was even more confused: "What kind of farmyard fertilizer?"

"It's the kind in the rice field, the kind in the toilet. You can see the roots on the soil are darker than the mud." They are all natural and artificial organic fertilizers that the villagers worked hard to pick up one load at a time.

When Shangguan Mingzhi heard this, his face became embarrassed. He immediately understood what it was and subconsciously covered his mouth and nose. He even took a few steps back in embarrassment. When he reached the small slope, he staggered a little.

"It's estimated that the peppers will still be harvested in two months. It won't be too late for Mr. Shangguan to come back to receive the goods."

Shangguan Mingzhi nodded, restored his previous elegance and dignity, and said in a gentle voice: "No problem, I have one more thing to say when I come here this time. Our border between the north and the south. The drought has not improved in the past few years. The Shu land in the north

It’s about to start, this year’s drought situation is not optimistic, and after the autumn harvest, I’m afraid there will be swarms of refugees, and banditry is only a matter of time.”

Jiang Yan's heart sank, and her face instantly turned cold.

Other countries are eyeing this weak area of ​​theirs. Once a war starts, it will mean conscription, and conscription means that at least one person from their family must be recruited. Even if they can spend a lot of money to solve the problem of conscription, the location here is too remote, not even close to those foreign herders.

If you don't go too far, you might be implicated.

Shangguan Mingzhi wanted to persuade her to leave here early, but she still wanted to build a house and factory, and use Linjia Village as the starting point to slowly develop.

"Will you fight?" Her voice was a little cold.

Chief Mingzhi shook his head: "In the past few years, there have been repeated wars, and the national treasury has been empty. Now the military strength has been reduced sharply. Our Great China Dynasty has vast territory, rich resources, and a large number of people. We have occupied all the time and place and are still refining our troops. Naturally, other countries

It’s the same thing. I estimate there won’t be any war with foreign enemies for at least three years. As for the affairs in the dynasty, we ordinary people can’t get involved in gossip.”

"Three years is almost enough." It was enough for her to earn enough money to protect the family and even leave this place.

But she seems to be a bit like a fledgling, and she still has a good impression of this Linjia Village, after all, she has stayed there for so long.

"As long as you have success in your mind, that's all." Shangguan Mingzhi just said that. If there is an accident at that time, he will just step in to help.

"The wine has been loaded into the truck. Brother Fu, do you want to inspect the goods?" Jiang Yan turned around and asked as the small fleet of cars was in uniform.

Shopkeeper Fu smiled implicitly: "I have cooperated with the girl so many times, and I still have this trust. Besides, your factory is here. If there is any problem, you can still run away..."

Jiang Yan also smiled back and was about to send them off. Before Shangguan Mingzhi got in the car, he specially invited the fat man to come over.

"You should listen carefully to Aunt Jiang's words here. If you've stayed here enough, just follow the people who bring the goods back to town tomorrow."

"I know, I know, dad, don't worry, I will work hard."

Shangguan Zixuan nodded. He was still busy playing and really didn't have time to listen to his father's instructions. He went in and out of one ear and ran away impatiently after a while.

The horse-drawn carriages drove out of Linjia Village one by one, with quite a majestic momentum. The onlookers even followed them to the entrance of the village.

"Great! They went to see Chili Peppers just now!"

"This must be a noble person in the town. Those clothes are very expensive. I was so close just now. They are all fine satin and silk!"

"This gentleman seems to have an extraordinary bearing at first glance. He definitely wasn't lying about collecting chili peppers. I think he looks like a good person."

"The little fat young man who stayed behind is his son, right? Why don't you want him anymore?"

The people in the village were all talking. They looked at the carriage going away and at the group of children playing. Everyone started gossiping with great interest.

They all collected a deposit, and although they were a little worried about Aunt Jiang cheating before, seeing such a convoy and the noble gentleman, everyone felt much more at ease.

When people see it, they don't miss their little money.
