"I'm back when I'm done. Let's go home." Yunjing took Bai Zhi's little hand and said with a smile.
Being held by Yun Jing in full view of everyone, Bai Zhi was a little shy and his face was slightly red, but instead of breaking away, he locked hands with Yun Jing.
"Has your husband eaten?" She tilted her head slightly and asked, without asking what Yun Jing had done. She was very happy and at ease when Yun Jing came back.
Touching his stomach with his other hand, Yun Jing said, "I'm a little hungry."
"Then I will go home and cook for my husband. It will be quick. I have ingredients at home, and they are all my husband's favorite food. What would my husband like to eat later?" Bai Zhi said immediately.
When she heard Yunjing say she was hungry, she was more anxious than herself. She was just an ordinary woman, without much ideal revenge or ambition. Yunjing was everything to her.
"Just make whatever you want. You know I'm not picky about food and I can feed myself well." Yunjing squeezed her hand.
So Bai Zhi thought about the arrangement and said: "Then let's make chicken stewed with mushrooms. I always have wild mushrooms at home. Then bake a fish. Well, let's fry some green vegetables, but there are not many green vegetables at home."
She kept everything at home in order, and prepared enough ingredients just in case Yunjing wanted to eat something that wasn't available at home.
None of the delicacies she planned are rare delicacies, but in the current general environment, they are something that countless people would not dare to think about. However, this does not conflict with the general environment. After all, life has to go on, and it cannot be because of the general environment.
Just resign yourself to eating glutinous vegetables, don't show off, just close the door.
"It's up to you. By the way, why does Xiaobai want to come here to give porridge?" Yun Jing said with a smile. He really doesn't choose what to eat.
Bai Zhi said: "The disaster has been severe recently. Most of the shops in the town have been closed. Our small shop has not had much business. It has been closed for a long time. I have nothing to do, so I came to do what I can to help the victims."
, she said with some anxiety: "If my husband doesn't like me to show up in public, then I won't come here anymore."
"It doesn't matter, just do whatever you want. You don't have to worry about me too much. Besides, it's good to have a kind heart. I support it. It's best to persevere and not give up halfway," Yunjing comforted.
Bai Zhi nodded and said: "I know, I am actually very happy to be able to help the victims a little. They are so pitiful."
"The world is tough. Don't be too tired. If you don't talk about this, how is your family doing?" Yunjing shook his head and changed the topic.
She said: "Everything is fine at home. My husband is not at home and I often go back. My parents often talk about my husband, saying that you don't miss home as much as you did when you were a child. When you grow up, you run around everywhere. Hehe... In fact, my parents and I
Grandpa is worried that my husband is alone outside."
"It's not my fault. Over the years, my family and I have been spending less time together and more time apart. I'm very happy that you can often accompany them," Yunjing said with some melancholy.
When I was a child, my home was everything to me, but when I grew up, I had my own life.
For parents and family members, they don’t think too much. Children are everything. It doesn’t matter if they suffer too much. They just want their children to be safe and healthy.
"My husband, don't say that. My parents understand you. My husband is a person who does great things. You don't know how proud they are of you. Grandpa always talks about having a great grandson when he is alone." Bai Zhijin
He tightened his grip on Yunjing.
Do you only talk about it when you are alone? Grandpa is still as unassuming and high-profile as ever.
Yunjing and Bai Zhi went home together and chatted about daily things. Under the afterglow of the sky, a pair of beautiful women made the world envious.
In fact, life does not need to be so vigorous and magnificent in many cases. It can be simple, happy and warm.
It was already dark when we returned to the small courtyard outside the town. Bai Zhi started busy preparing dinner, but she immediately made Yunjing a pot of tea. She was always so attentive.
Without the crowds around each other, life returned to peace. In the small farmyard, Yun Jing and Bai Zhi enjoyed dinner around the table. A simple life without worries about food and clothing is what countless people in the world pursue throughout their lives.
But just such a simple life is something that countless people can't get. Running around all day long makes it difficult to survive, and even trying to survive in the current environment is a luxury.
"Xiao Bai, aren't you curious about what your husband has been doing during this time?" Yun Jing took the initiative while eating.
Bai Zhi said: "I'm a little curious. I'm just afraid that I'll find out some secret things and embarrass myself."
"There are no taboos or secrets between you and me. This time we went to the Sanluo Dynasty to resolve some matters. There is no danger. No need to worry, Xiaobai. I have returned safely, right?" Yunjing smiled.
He smiled and then briefly explained the process, saving some dangerous encounters.
Bai Zhi listened quietly, how could she not feel the danger in this with her wisdom and heart, but she pretended not to know and just silently became a little woman who supported her husband.
When talking about the latter part, Yunjing hesitated for a moment, then said truthfully: "Xiao Bai, that..., well, Empress San Luo and I, uh, what is that, do you understand?"
"Huh? What are you talking about? I don't understand. Why is it related to Empress Sanluo?" Bai Zhi said blankly. He really couldn't understand and was not pretending to be stupid. After all, she was just an ordinary woman, at the level of Empress Sanluo.
It was so far away from her that she had never even thought about it.
Scratching his head, Yun Jing said: "That's right, that's it. To put it simply, the relationship between her and me is just like me and you, do you understand?"
Regarding this kind of thing, Yunjing felt that there was no need to hide it. After all, they would always know it after the world was over. It was better to tell it from the beginning to avoid being too abrupt in the future.
When Bai Zhi heard what he said, he was completely confused. He couldn't say a word and didn't know how to describe his feelings.
My husband, actually, and Empress San Luo... Oh my God, that is Empress San Luo, the king of a country, the being who controls countless lives and deaths, actually... actually...
It took her a while to react, but she didn't like it. After all, it was normal for a man to have multiple women in this era. Instead, she said: "My husband is so powerful, he can actually make Empress San Luo fall in love!"
"Um, Xiaobai doesn't have any other ideas?" Yunjing was a little surprised by her reaction.
Bai Zhi pondered for a moment, pursed his lips and said cautiously: "I don't have any idea, it's just... that is, she is Empress San Luo, sir, she won't bully me in the future, right?"
"That's not the case. She knows about you, and with me here, how could she bear to let her bully you?" Yunjing comforted her immediately.
Then Bai Zhi said: "Will your husband dislike me? After all, I am just an ordinary woman, and the other party is the empress of a country. The gap is too big, like a cloud of mud."
"What are you talking about, Xiaobai? You are so kind, it's not too late to love you," Yunjing said, holding her hand.
So Bai Zhi immediately felt at ease and said happily: "Then it'll be fine."
She is not a person who likes to argue, so as long as Yunjing doesn't abandon her, she will be satisfied.
"You will meet in the future. In fact, she is very nice and not as scary as you think. You will know when the time comes. Eat, the food will be cold later," Yunjing said, changing the subject.
Nodding, Bai Zhi didn't worry so much. She didn't dare to look at the cloud scenery under the light, her cheeks were slightly red and she whispered: "Well, sir, I have made the stockings you mentioned back then, and I still have them."
I didn’t have time to wear it for you to see”
"Huh? Xiaobai, I'm not sleepy anymore if you tell me this. Where are you?" Yunjing immediately asked with his heart skipping a beat, secretly asking Xiaobai, do you want me to be so exciting as soon as I come back?
Bai Zhi's head almost buried in his chest. He didn't dare to look at him and said, "Oh, why are you so anxious? I'll show you what I'm wearing later. Let's eat first and not run away. By the way, hot water."
It's ready, I'll wait for the officials to relieve their fatigue."
"Then I'll eat quickly," Yunjing said impatiently, and Bai Zhi didn't even dare to look at him.
Although the two are already an old couple, she is still very shy.
The indescribable night passed quickly, with all kinds of joy that cannot be described by outsiders.
Early the next morning, Yunjing was stretching his muscles in the yard and asked the charming Bai Zhi: "Will Xiaobai still go to the town to help today?"
"I was going to go, but the official is back, and I want to accompany you." Bai Zhi looked at him and said, seeming a little embarrassed. After all, giving up halfway is not a good habit.
Yun Jing said: "You can go if you want. I won't run away. I probably won't travel far for a long time."
"Then I'll listen to the officials and come back to cook for you in the afternoon." Bai Zhi thought for a while and said. She was kind-hearted and still couldn't worry about the refugees outside the town. She would do whatever she could to help.
"Well, pay attention to safety. I'll go home later," Yun Dingding nodded.
Bai Zhi muttered: "Then I'll say hello this afternoon and won't go tomorrow. I'll go home to spend time with my parents and you."
"Okay, you can make your own arrangements."
After having breakfast, Bai Zhi continued to go outside the town to help.
Yunjing did not go home immediately, but extended his mental strength to go out and find Song Yan, informing him to come over and ask him something.
Song Yan arrived quickly and greeted him immediately: "Young Master is back. Did your trip go well?"
"It's okay, I'll be back after my work." Yun Dingding nodded, and then said: "By the way, Xiao Song, I went to Sanluo this time to bring a few people back, and they are now housed in that house in the capital. What do you have in mind in the future?
If you can't handle things you can tell them..."
As he spoke, Yunjing gave a general introduction to Tubo and the others.
After listening to this, Song Yan was secretly stunned. He was a top master in the late stage of True Intention Mirror. He actually became the young master's subordinate. He was still just following orders. In the future, he would also have the qualifications to give orders to them. This put a lot of pressure on Song Yan.
However, his young master was already extraordinary, so Song Yan was not surprised. He nodded and said, "I understand, young master."
"Well, everything was okay during my absence?" Yunjing changed the subject.
Song Yan replied: "Master, everything is going well during this period. It's just that the stores in our town closed down due to the disaster, resulting in a loss of income. However, the dividends from the Jin family have not been interrupted. That's the big deal."
"
"As long as you are responsible for these things, you don't have to inform me in detail. How long can our food support for the victims last?" Yun Dingding nodded.
"Master, we have enough food. If we only rely on the scale of the victims we are currently relieving, it will be enough to sustain us for another year or two, but we are afraid that there will be more and more victims in the future," Song Yan said hesitantly.
As the disaster continues, no matter how much food we have, we will eventually run out.
Yunjing thought for a while and said: "Let's find a way to support it for a while. I'm afraid the disaster will not end in a short time, especially since it is basically impossible to buy food on the market now."
Song Yan said helplessly: "Young Master, we have tried our best to add other things to the food to relieve the victims. If it is diluted again, it will be impossible to eat."
"Okay, let's take it one step at a time," Yun Jing said melancholy. Not mentioning this, he asked, "Is there any other news worth paying attention to?"
"Young Master, a lot of things have happened recently. The third prince went to the west to quell the rebellion, but there has been no result. The court has increased its troops several times, but the rebels have grown stronger. Some people are already spreading that it is clearly the third prince who is raising the bandits. What are the details?
I don’t know. Anyway, many people are saying that the third prince is restless. Then as the disaster becomes more serious, the Emperor’s Sword incident becomes more and more serious. It is said everywhere that it is caused by the emperor’s unrighteousness. The world needs a wise king to end the current situation. This
There must be someone behind the scenes to add fuel to the flames. The purpose is to fish in troubled waters. There are always people with sinister intentions like this in the world. In addition, the civil strife in the Golden Wolf Dynasty has become more and more serious. The entire country is moving towards disintegration. Even the only remaining member of the Golden Wolf Dynasty
Even the mythical realm of the Dajiang Dynasty could not quell the war. After all, those beings bear the weight of the common people, so they can't kill everyone. In the end, no one can suppress the guy from the Dajiang Dynasty who practiced evil skills, and now he has actually established a
The sect is openly challenging the Dajiang Imperial Court, but there are recent rumors that he was almost killed by the Dajiang Dynasty’s Myth Realm and is now missing..."
Yun Jing listened carefully. None of this news was a secret. He could only lament that it was such a troubled time. The world was becoming more and more chaotic. Not only in Da Li, everywhere was in dire straits.
"Okay, pay more attention to the news on the market. Were you arranging relief supplies before? Go ahead, business is more important." Yunjing shook his head and said.
We can't take care of everything in the world at the same time, but we still need to take good care of the three-thirds of an acre of land around us.
After Song Yan left, Yunjing prepared some things and headed back to Xiaoxi Village. He brought some good dry tobacco for his grandfather, a jar of good wine for his father, and some jewelry for his mother.
Yunjing also didn't forget about his aunt Jiang Xiaoxi, so he brought her two pieces of cloth. Hey, my aunt's needlework is a flaw, so bring her the cloth and let her struggle with it.
Not long after, Yun Jingdu arrived at the entrance of the village. He suddenly slapped his forehead and realized that he had forgotten to bring back some local specialties after a trip to the Sanluo Dynasty...
Don’t worry so much. The craftsmen sent by Wu Qingmei will definitely bring something with them. And since Wu Qingmei is in Sanluo, it’s not like he won’t go. It will be the same next time.
After greeting the enthusiastic villagers, Yunjing headed straight for home.
The sound of reading loudly echoed in the village. The school in Xiaoxi Village is not on vacation yet, and there are fewer naughty figures.
The current general environment is making life difficult for everyone. Xiaoxi Village is already a rare pure land, and the villagers can barely live without worries about food and clothing.
However, Yunjing is thinking that if the disaster continues, he may have to communicate with the village chief, Grandpa, and Xiaoxi Village must be closed down so that the villagers do not go out. As long as he takes care of himself secretly, he can still be self-sufficient.
If the village is closed, Yunjing will have to activate the phantom array that has been deployed around the village but has not been activated. By then, the entire Xiaoxi Village will disappear from the eyes of the world and be cut off from the outside world. This is to protect Xiaoxi Village.
.
After all, this is the place where Yunjing was born and raised. He doesn't want this place to be affected by troubled times. He can't take care of the whole world, but this place can still be protected and cannot be destroyed by anyone.
Under the morning sun, Yunjing's mother, Jiang Susu, was picking up shoe soles in the yard. She seemed to have no time to spare.
"Mom, I'm back," Yunjing said hello immediately. It was great to have my mother calling me when I returned from going out.
After hearing this, Jiang Susu immediately looked up and saw joy flashing in Yunjing's eyes, and felt relieved. For her, her son's safe return was more important than anything else.
As a mother, she doesn't have many pursuits, and now her children are everything to her.
She was happy, but Jiang Susu said with a straight face: "You still know that you are back. I'm afraid Xiaojing was fascinated by the colorful world outside and forgot that he still has a mother."
That being said, Jiang Susu immediately put down her work and stood up and walked towards Yunjing. She patted his shoulders and straightened his collar, obviously checking to see if his son was okay. She was completely relieved when she found that he was healthy.
Come down.
"How can you? Even if you forget the whole world, you can't forget mother. Mother, look what good things I have brought you." Yunjing bent down slightly and shook the jewelry in his hand to please her.
He is now more than a head taller than his mother, and he is afraid that her mother will not be able to reach his shoulders.
"Xiao Jing spent money recklessly again. We have only had a few good days and don't know how to save at all." Jiang Susu said in a bad mood, but the happiness in her eyes could not be faked.
Her son's filial piety will be worth her whole life as a mother, but she still needs to be taught a lesson.
"It's not worth a lot of money. Do you like it, mother?" Yun Jing said with a smile.
Pouting her lips, Jiang Susu said: "There are all these bells and whistles. Mom doesn't need these things in the village. We, from a small family, shouldn't be too showy, otherwise what will other people think?"
"Yes, yes, mom is right, but you can leave it at home and see for yourself." Yun Jing followed his mother to make her happy.
As soon as his son came back, Jiang Susu did not continue to blame him, but patted him on the shoulder and said, "Have you eaten yet? Mom, go make something for you?"
"The relationship is so good. I haven't eaten the food cooked by my mother for a while. I'm so greedy." Yunjing touched his stomach and said. Although he had already eaten, he felt that he could still eat three more bowls.
Turning around and walking towards the kitchen, Jiang Susu said: "I really owe you in my previous life. I will call you my mother as soon as I get home."
"Mom is the best. By the way, where are dad and grandpa?" Yunjing followed with a smile, helping to light the fire. There was no reason to let mom work alone.
Walking into the kitchen and starting to work, Jiang Susu replied: "Your father has gone to chop firewood. In the winter, firewood is consumed a lot. Your grandfather is over there in the school. When the old man likes to listen and read, he will go there every day until school is over."
Yun Lin never went to school, but now there is a school in the village. Although he has already passed the age of studying, being able to see it can be regarded as fulfilling a wish that he never dared to dream of.
After lighting the fire in the stove, Yunjing said: "Isn't there a stove at home? Why are you cutting so much firewood? Are you not tired? Grandpa is over there in the school? I'll go find him to discuss something later."
"Your father can't sit still. He has been busy for half his life and is looking for something to do in the winter. Don't worry about him. Why are you discussing with your grandpa?" Jiang Susu chatted with Yunjing while washing the pot.
Yun Jing said: "It's a small thing, it's the end of the year, I'm wondering if I should prepare in advance."
He didn't tell his mother about the village closure. There was no need to tell her about this kind of thing. There was so much trouble in the world that she shouldn't worry about these things.
"You have to be prepared, but just tell your mother." Jiang Susu glared at Yunjing and said, as if to say that you look down on my mother or something.
"It's all the same. We don't lack anything now. If you need anything, just let me know and ask Xiao Song to deliver it," Yunjing said with a laugh.
"Although Xiao Song is your school boy, he can't be a bully or a horse. Xiao Jing, you know what happened to our family in the past. Now that you have the ability, don't really think of yourself as an uncle." Jiang Susu warned Yun whenever she had the chance.
She didn't understand the truth about the scene, but she was instinctively afraid that the cloud scene would drift away.
"Don't worry, mother, am I that kind of person?" Yun Jing happily cooperated with his mother.
After a while, with the cooperation of the two mothers during the small talk, the meal was ready.
Jiang Susu and the others had already eaten, and she didn't leave. She just watched Yunjing wolfing down the food and kept saying, "Slow down, no one will compete with you."
Yunjing eats deliciously, and the more deliciously she eats, the greater recognition of her mother's craftsmanship.
After the meal, Jiang Susu went to wash the dishes. Yunjing said hello and headed towards the school to find her grandfather.
Jiang Susu originally wanted to remind Yunjing that Yunjing would be nineteen years old after the New Year Festival, and Su Xiaoye had grown up now, so procrastination was not a problem, so Yunjing's marriage had to be mentioned first.
Even though the engagement has been made long ago, the process of three media and six appointments still needs to be completed.
However, Yun Jing had already gone out, so she calmed down and took some time to talk to him again.
Although my son has grown up and is capable, I still have to worry about these things. Thinking of this, Jiang Susu is very happy. She can still help her son before she is useless.
Then she was in Xiaojing again. Xiaojing's marriage had been settled a long time ago, but Xiaodong hadn't settled yet. Where could he find a satisfactory wife for him? There was also Xiaoxi, who was about to become a big girl. She would have to be married in the future.
Let’s get married, but where can I find her husband’s family?
After all, Jiang Susu has the mentality of a small farmer in this era. She has been worried about her children all her life and has almost no time to think about herself. In her early years, she married Yunshan in a haphazard way and worked hard for life. Now she is worried about her children.
…
After Yunjing went out, he greeted the villagers and walked to the school. Strictly speaking, Yunjing was still the headmaster of the village school, but he had never attended classes here.
Yun Lin was sitting on a small horse outside the school, smoking a cigarette and drinking tea, squinting his eyes slightly and basking in the sun. Not to mention how comfortable he was. There were other elderly people from the village around who were also similar. They chatted occasionally.
Yun Lin, who was squinting his eyes, saw Yun Jing approaching and immediately stood up and said: "My eldest grandson is back and I won't talk nonsense with you old guys anymore."
As he said that, he took the initiative to walk towards Yunjing. Our eldest grandson is the most important...
