Of course, a few grains still won't come out.

However, Qiu Yan was already quite satisfied with the sprouting medicinal seeds.

Afterwards, she took the newly sprouted medicinal seeds and dragged Gu Qian to the medicinal field.

Gu Qian, carrying a hoe, felt that this feeling of retiring from military service and returning to farming was truly wonderful.

He became addicted to this kind of life.

Soon, the two arrived at their medicinal herb field.

In the medicinal herb field, the villagers hired by Qiu Yan were working hard.

Upon seeing Qiu Yan and Gu Qian arrive, he greeted them and then worked even harder.

Qiu Yan and Gu Qian responded with smiles and began to examine their herbs.

She was gone for a year, and these herbs grew for a year as well.

Among herbs, there are many that are annual, triennial, or perennial.

However, some rhizomatous herbs are already ready for harvesting.

Qiu Yan knew that these root herbs were best harvested before they sprouted in early spring.

She summoned Zhao Qiufeng and gathered some villagers to harvest the crops.

"Yan Yan, what am I doing?" Gu Qian asked Qiu Yan, carrying a hoe.

He was wondering if he should also start collecting medicinal herbs.

"Come with me, let's plant chili peppers," Qiu Yan said with a smile.

After giving instructions to Zhao Qiufeng, Qiu Yan led Gu Qian to an empty field.

"This will do. Gu Qian, loosen the soil."

"Hmm? Okay." Gu Qian had only used a hoe once before, when he was with Qiu Yan.

He was a little rusty, but he still diligently hoeed the ground.

Gu Qian was hoeing the ground in front, while Qiu Yan was turning the soil behind him.

The sight of the two people planting chili peppers, one in front and one behind, is quite a picturesque scene.

Ling Qi, holding the child in one arm, watched from a distance with Ling Ba and Ling Zhi, her lips twitching repeatedly.

Surprisingly, their generals are quite adept at farm work.

It seems that the life of men farming and women weaving was also beautiful.

Their good days will be over in the next moment.

Because the general discovered them, except for Ling Qi.

Gu Qian directly dispatched Ling Ba and two others to help the villagers gather medicinal herbs.

Honestly, he has no sense at all, and he doesn't even offer to help his daughter Yan Yan with chores.

The three of them were heartbroken. They looked at Ling Qi holding the baby and were truly envious.

Looking at Ling Qi again,

He watched Ling Ba and the other two digging with a mixture of effort and clumsiness, and felt a little embarrassed.

His food and lodging were provided by the general, and now even his own children have to rely on the general.

It's really unacceptable for them not to work.

After thinking for a moment, he found a rope, tied the child behind his back, and then picked up a hoe to start working.

His appearance stunned Ling Ba and his two companions, as well as the Lingnan villagers who were gathering herbs with them.

In the fields, Gu Qian only managed to clear a small patch of land.

The reason is that the number of seeds is simply limited.

After planting the chili peppers, Qiu Yan and her companion went to the medicinal herb field to check on the growth of the newly dug herbs.

When the two saw Ling Qi carrying the baby while working, their faces froze.

Then they looked at each other and smiled.

Ling Chuyi obediently lay on Ling Qi's back, not only not crying, but also occasionally letting out giggles.

Qiu Yan smiled because of his expression.

Qiu Yan stepped forward, and only then did Ling Qi notice Qiu Yan and the general, an embarrassed expression appearing on his face.

Qiu Yan took Ling Chuyi from Ling Qi and, together with Gu Qian, began to examine the growth of the herbs.

Some are big, some are small, but overall they're alright.

Qiu Yan felt that more farmyard manure needed to be applied.

Thinking about it, she also called Zhao Qiufeng and asked him to have someone prepare.

Zhao Qiufeng smiled and agreed.

Since Qiu Yan came back, he has been much busier than usual.
