Duan Mingjing didn't know much, but he saw many displaced people along the way and got the news from them.
Nowadays, some people use the name of Qiao Lan's disciples to recruit refugees to farm land for them, saying that they will have enough to eat.
As for the court, it has long been too busy to take care of it. His Majesty is seriously ill in bed and has not been in court for a long time. The important officials below are busy fighting for power and gain, and they don't care at all.
After Qiao Lan heard this, he sighed heavily.
The chaos in the future is also conceivable.
When it prospers, the people suffer; when it dies, the people suffer.
The family sat in the house. After talking about what happened over the years, Qiao Lan asked Feiyan again.
Qiao Lan finally felt at ease when she knew Feiyan was living well with her uncle.
The family sat around the table and talked about the changes in the past few years from early morning to afternoon.
Several of the grandchildren in the family have grown up and become handsome young men. The granddaughters have also grown up a lot and become graceful and charming girls.
The daughter-in-law and son in the front have a lot of white hair on their heads, which shows the hard work they have put in over the years.
Qiao Lan greeted her children and grandchildren one by one, and there was another burst of women crying in the house. It was not until dinner was finished that everyone went back to the courtyard to rest.
-
Anlong Mountain is located in the north, and the summer nights are extremely cool. With the insect-proof plants Qiao Lan planted in the yard, there are not many mosquitoes.
Duan Mingjing finished washing and sat at the small table in the room, holding a dry handkerchief and twisting it.
The cool evening breeze blew into the house with bursts of frogs croaking, slightly swaying the firelight on the table.
Since the year when his house was confiscated, Duan Mingjing has become accustomed to the days without servants around him. In the past, he still needed Shang's help for certain things, but now he can do everything by himself.
Duan Mingjing twisted his hair and suddenly sighed.
Mr. Shang, who was arranging things in front of the bed, stopped what he was doing when he heard this, turned around and walked to Duan Mingjing, putting his hand on his shoulder: "Second Master, what's going on?"
Duan Mingjing stopped what he was doing, was silent for a moment and said: "I feel that this life is too long, and we have to endure a lot of hardships. I also feel that this life is too short, and I don't know how much time I have left to accompany you."
I don’t know how long I can stay with you, mother."
Duan Mingjing said, putting his hand on Shang's hand and holding it in his palm.
Mr. Shang's nose suddenly became sour, and there was a lot of water in his eyes. "It's a happy thing that my mother has been found. Why are you saying these depressing words?"
"I'm just thinking about what happened in the past few days. It's like a dream. What would it be like if I woke up from the dream?" Duan Mingjing sighed.
"Second Master, we, as a family, just need to be fine." Shang's tone was filled with tears.
Duan Mingjing hurriedly raised his hand to comfort his wife.
On the other side, in Duan Mingqing's room.
Duan Mingqing was silent while facing the letter on the table.
Ms. Liu sat aside and saw that the wick on the table was about to burn out, so she picked out some of the lamp wires inside and then cut off the burnt wires.
"Sanniang, I have thought about it for a long time, but I still don't plan to go to the northwest. In this life, all people are mediocre, just for fame and fortune! In today's world, having these things is not necessarily a good thing. I only hope that my family will
People can live in peace and stay together for a long time."
Duan Mingqing said in a serious tone that he originally planned to earn a fortune so that his wife and children would have no worries, but now it seems that his wish has come true.
Mrs. Liu smiled after hearing this: "As long as I am with Sanlang, I am willing to be anywhere."
As he said that, the two of them cuddled together, and the slender lights stretched their backs.
On the other side, Duan Mingchen's room had already become quiet.
Duan Mingchen hugged his wife and lay on the bed to rest early.
The brothers have traveled thousands of miles and have seen difficulties and obstacles outside, but they only have a little time to be reunited as a family.
After all, this kind of family reunion day, every day passes, and one day is lost.
-
Within a few days, all the villagers around Anlong Mountain knew that the children and grandchildren who came a few days ago were the old lady's children and grandchildren, and they were all here to help the old lady farm.
If you are lucky enough to meet an old lady in the fields, the few middle-aged men following her are all her sons. Sometimes, you will also meet a few young men, the grandsons of the old lady.
However, my grandson doesn't come often and says he still wants to study in the house.
What farmers look forward to all their lives is that their children and grandchildren will be filial and the family will have food. For those who are more ambitious, their children and grandchildren will be educated and be able to become scholars.
After hearing about what happened at Qiao Lan's family and seeing such a scene in the fields, everyone was really envious. But they also felt that it was appropriate for a good person like the old lady to have such children and grandchildren.
Everyone was envious and devoted themselves to farming.
-
Three years passed by in a flash.
Although the Little Ice Age is not over yet, the harvests in Anlong Mountain are getting better and better year by year.
In addition to high-yielding potatoes, high-yielding cotton and soybeans were also developed.
After eating enough, the people in Zhuangzi realized what it meant to wear warm clothes and the endless oil in the oil pot.
You know, this kind of life was something they had never dared to imagine before!
Even in my wildest dreams, I never dared to dream like this, and now it’s all come true!
One by one, when they went to work in the fields, they held their heads high and their chests high.
Qiao Lan stood at the edge of the field, looking at this year's harvest and the last homework of her Qiangguo course, waiting for the system's acceptance.
[Baby, the homework of the course on strengthening the country is completely over. At this point, the course on strengthening the country has come to an end, but the road to strengthening the country has not stopped yet. After the main system has completed the review, I will give you a graduation gift package, dear.
】
Qiao Lan nodded and couldn't help being surprised.
“And there’s also a graduation gift package?”
[Yes! Every student who works hard to complete the Qiangguo course will have this big gift package! It can be said to be a graduation gift! The content of the gift package is very rich!]
After hearing this, Qiao Lan was not as surprised as before.
It turned out that other hosts had it, and she thought it was hers alone. 1818 had been picking it up like this for so many years, and she didn’t know what kind of gift he would give her.
However, any gift is better than nothing!
[One more thing, treasure! Because of the completion of the Strong Country Course, 1818 needs to be upgraded again to cope with future tasks. This time the upgrade time is 6 days, and I have to leave you for a long 6 days!] 1818
There was a bit of reluctance in his tone.
Upgrading is a big deal, so Qiao Lan said, "Go with peace of mind! Go early and come back early."
Although I always had to wait 3 days before, 6 days is not impossible.
After leaving 1818, Qiao Lan is still not used to it. Looking at the map every day is not as convenient as before.
As 1818 said, these 6 days are a bit long.
But after spending these 6 long days, Qiao Lan received an unexpected surprise.
She couldn't bear to hear any big gift packages or other gifts. She only heard that she could go back.
