Jiang Yan followed Old Lady Xu into the fortress gate and saw Xu Ning sitting in the yard picking vegetables at first sight.

Xu Ning felt someone's gaze on him, and when he looked up, his eyes met Jiang Yan's. The next second, Xu Ning lowered his head as if nothing had happened, but in his heart he was having a huge conversation with the treasure chest.

"Baby! Why does he always look at me like that? What does he want to do?!" Xu Ning looked calm on the surface, but he was already screaming like a groundhog in his heart.

"Hello player, maybe someone is already interested in you." The treasure chest replied in Xu Ning's mind.

"No, this is too scary. I just want to finish the mission quickly and go back."

"But player, your main task is to get married and have children." At present, the stability of the Jiang family still needs to be considered, but it is almost there.

The main system did not give Xu Ning any new progress for a long time because Xu Ning had always been resisting getting married and having children.

Xu Ning really didn't want to do it, she just didn't want to do this task.

Although this game is called a game, for Xu Ning who is actually participating in it, it is no different from the real thing.

She couldn't get married and have children in order to complete the game, she really couldn't.

"Bao, can't this mission be replaced with something else?"

"No, player, the target of the mission is already interested in you. If you work harder, you can complete it."

"You make it sound simple. That's just getting married and having children. Is it a joke?" These are real people, and she is a real person too. She really can't remain indifferent to marrying and having children with someone.

"Player, do you remember the wish on the game card?"

"If you don't complete all the tasks, the game will reset."

Xu Ning was silent. She knew this very well, and it was because she knew this that she was troubled and in pain.

The reason why people suffer is because they are trapped by the things they care about.

She wants to reunite with her family in real life. Is she wrong?

The one who was wrong was the mastermind behind this system. They were the ones who insisted on using her father as an experimental subject.

In other words, his father should not have agreed to the main system's invitation in the first place, so that their family would not be separated and Xu Ning would not have spent the first half of his life without his father's company.

From the moment the card appeared in Xu Ning's hand, Xu Ning knew that his father would never return to that ordinary home.

It's just that she is being too greedy and deceiving herself.

All this was just her own choice, her father's choice.

"Xu Ning~Xu Ning~" The Grand Minister of Agriculture called out to Xu Ning several times in his ear, but Xu Ning was like an old monk in meditation and did not respond for a long time.

"Xu Ning, are you asleep?" Da Si Nong shook Xu Ning's shoulders. Xu Ning came back to his senses and looked up to see Da Si Nong with a look that said, "Are you still asleep?"

"What's the matter?"

"Oh, let me ask you how many flavors of hotpot you want. I want the Yuanyang one, how about you?"

"Have another tomato one, the tomato ones are delicious." Xu Ning replied him.

"Okay, go to bed early tonight. You look like you haven't woken up yet. Young people should stay up less late."

"I know, Lao Qin. Why are you so nagging?" Xu Ning sighed. She just didn't want to face it. She needed some time. She needed time to accept it.

"Daya, come and try some of these strawberries, Dad just picked. They are all big and red." Xu Da grabbed a few big strawberries and handed them to Xu Ning. Xu Ning took one and tasted it. The strawberry season had not arrived yet, so the sweetness was not as strong as the sourness, but it was juicy and had a strong strawberry aroma. It tasted pretty good.

"Dad, you eat too."

"Dad has already eaten. He ate a lot when he was picking fruits in the fields. Hurry up and eat. It's almost time for dinner. If your grandma sees you, she'll scold you."

"Yeah." Xu Ning took the small basket that Xu Da handed to her, which contained a dozen washed strawberries.

"Second sister, if you can't eat, tell me and I'll help you." Xu Feng slipped over at some point, with strawberry juice still on the corner of his mouth.

Xu Ning smiled and stuffed a large strawberry into his mouth. "I'll only give you one. No more. Dad washed this specially for me."

"That's right, Xiaobao, you've already eaten so much. Don't eat anymore." Xu Da glanced at Xu Feng's bulging belly. This youngest son went to the strawberry field with him. What Xu Feng picked in the field was not enough for himself, so he took a lot from Xu Feng's basket.

"Dad, you don't love me anymore." Xu Feng pretended to cry, and Xu Da looked at him with disgust.

"When did Dad ever love you?" Xu Da ruthlessly exposed him.

"Dad, there's no such thing as a dad like you."

"You already have it."

Xu Ning was amused by the two of them and couldn't stop laughing. Out of the corner of her eye, she noticed that Jiang Yan, who was sitting not far away, was looking at her again.

Xu Ning returned a look, and Jiang Yan was a little surprised to find that Xu Ning was no longer hiding. Then he smiled politely and nodded.

The night was dark, and two large pots were set up in the Xu family's courtyard. It was the same lunchtime distribution, and this time, without needing to be reminded, Jiang Yi went to the servants' table.

"Xu Ning, what do you want to eat first? I want some shrimp paste in the spicy hot pot. Do you want any?"

"Okay, put some tomatoes and mushrooms in it. I can eat it even if it's not spicy." Xu Ning and Da Si Nong have always been the most enthusiastic when it comes to eating.

The servants had already packed up the dishes and placed them on the tabletop and surrounding shelves. After saying goodbye to their master, they went to another table to enjoy a lively hotpot.

"Master, come, have a piece of chicken thigh."

"Grandma, come and eat the shrimp. I've peeled them."

Xu Ning and Xu Feng were like two butterflies. After eating and drinking, they flew around the table and fed them one by one.

The Minister of Agriculture drank juice leisurely, rubbed his bulging belly, and sighed that his appetite was too small.
