Gouzi lost his father at the age of three and his mother at the age of eight.

This was the first time that an adult male elder had spoken these words to him earnestly, touching his head.

Feeling both touched and happy, he knelt on the ground with a thud and kowtowed three times to Ji Fengshou before anyone could react.

She was crying and laughing while lip-syncing: Thank you!

Ji Fengshou felt embarrassed and picked him up: "Let me tell you, a man's knees are worth gold. Don't kneel down to others at every turn, okay? There are many ways to express gratitude, don't do this all the time."

Ji Changchuan took out the one or two taels of silver he had saved for pocket money and quietly stuffed it into his pocket: "Keep this money for your own protection. We're all in the city anyway. When I have my day off, I'll come see you. You can come see me when you have time too!"

Although Mrs. Hu had been tortured by Ji Mingxue's incident for the past two days and had been unable to eat or sleep, her mental state was very bad.

But he still took out the new clothes he had driven out for the dog: "Take them, and come back when you want."

Ji Mingxuan and Ji Minghao prepared for him an inkstone and a brush for children.

What Ji Fengyi handed him was an enlightenment book.

"May your future be bright and smooth."

Gou'er held the gifts one by one in his arms tightly, taking each one of them in his heart, and then followed Ji Changying onto the horse.

"drive!"

Ji Changying whipped the horsewhip, and Zhenzhu ran like a gust of wind, knowing which direction to go without her guidance.

The journey would normally take half an hour, but riding on Pearl, he arrived at the martial arts school in just fifteen minutes.

Ji Changying got off the horse and led the dog: "We're here."

The dog also looked up at the three words "Martial Arts School" on the gate, with a look of worry and anxiety in his eyes.

"This is where you will live from now on, so you must study hard."

After Ji Changying gave the instructions, he took the certificate issued by the clerk last time and found the person in charge to arrange for the dog's admission.

"Take the school badge. From now on, you are not allowed to go out unless you have a day off. You will eat, sleep, and study here."

After the teacher finished processing, he took out a small waist badge and handed it to Gou'er: "Since the person has been sent here, visiting time is only 25 minutes every ten days. No other time is allowed to avoid disturbing the students."

"No matter what you do here, you need to be self-reliant. Remember that."

The dog nodded.

No one is allowed to stay here for too long. Seeing the dog being taken into the teaching area by the teacher, Ji Changying had to give the dog a few more words of advice before saying goodbye.

After sending Gou'er away, Ji Fengyi took Ji Mingxuan and Ji Changchuan to the county school, and sent Ji Minghao to a private school in the city.

The house suddenly seemed much quieter.

Mrs. Hu was sad and crying at home all day long.

It was at this time that the village chief came to take them to see the land.

"Have the lands been divided?" Ji Changying's eyes lit up, and she looked at the village chief with extremely eager eyes.

The village chief was frightened by such a look: "Yes! It's almost time to divide the land among you after the New Year. I came to inform you."

"When does it begin?"

"Now!"

The village chief was quite straightforward. After the New Year, he went to the county government office to reorganize the fields in the village, intending to distribute them to the new settlers.

Ji Changying pulled Hu out of the door. Many people were already waiting outside.

They are all people from the Ji family and the ten female households including Yao Sanniang.

The village chief led them toward the fields, carrying them on his back as he walked, explaining, "Each household is divided according to the number of males in the family. You don't need to tell me if there are more or less. This is distributed by the government. If you have any opinions, go to them."

"Each household has 20 mu of paddy fields, 40 mu of dry land, and 30 mu of pasture. Every year at a certain time, the government will send people to collect fodder. Don't even think about growing all that food. That's wishful thinking!"

As he spoke, he walked to a place, pointed it out and called out the names of the family.

Finally, we arrived at Ji Changying's home, which had 40 acres of paddy fields, 240 acres of dry land, and 180 acres of grassland.

Not to mention shedding tears, just looking at the connected land made Hu feel dizzy.

Although there were no male members in Yao Sanniang's family, because they were the heads of households, each person was allocated 20 mu of paddy field, which was enough to support themselves if they cultivated well.

Each family's paddy fields are basically connected together, and it seems that the government also knows that this is easier to manage.

But it’s different for dry land and grassland, which are scattered here and there and you need to run around everywhere.

Ji Changying's family was allocated two acres of dry land at the foot of the mountain, and the rest was scattered in other places.

As soon as the fields were divided, Lin came towards her cheerfully: "I want to exchange five acres of land with you!"

Ji Changying glanced at her and asked, "Which five acres?"

Lin pointed to the Ji family's land that was sandwiched between a field and said, "The five acres next to it belong to my family. I want to exchange the five acres at the foot of the mountain with you. This way, it will be convenient for both of us."

After the change, the two companies just merged their respective ten acres of land.

Ji Changying and Mrs. Hu discussed it briefly and agreed decisively.

The dry land at the foot of the mountain suddenly became seven acres, which was not only close to home but also convenient for Ji Changying to manage.

She found Yao Sanniang and the other ten people and said, "Each of you should set aside one acre of land. I have something for you to plant. The rest is up to you."

"Girl, do whatever you want! We'll all listen to you!"

Yao Sanniang and the others agreed without hesitation.

Ji Changying smiled and said, "You guys trust me."

Xu Qingcao also laughed: "If we don't trust you, who else can we trust?"

The carrier pigeon that Ji Changying used to send the letter to Kou Yunyi waited for half a month after Kou Yunyi returned home before flying back.

At the same time, she also received a reply from Kou Yunyi.

When the pot of flowers was sent to the Zhang family, they accepted it and never mentioned the matter again.

Not long after, it was heard that the flower was chosen by King Ping and was sent to Kyoto along with the tribute gifts.

"When I took out this pot of flowers, Zhang Leyao's eyes were fixed on it. You didn't see how obsessed she was at that time. I heard that when the pot of flowers was sent to the palace, she cried for a long time and I laughed at her for a long time..."

Even in the letter, one could tell that Kou Yunyi felt a sense of pleasure in having his revenge taken.

Ji Changying laughed and put the letter away.

There was a knock on the window, and she looked outside in confusion.

The person standing there was actually Ren Dongnan, who had been disappearing since before the New Year.

"Huh? When did you come back?"

Ji Changying glanced at the sky and saw that it was already midnight.

Ren Dongnan tilted his head slightly and said, "I'm hungry. Get up and cook for me."

Because his tone was so matter-of-fact, Ji Changying subconsciously did what he said.

She made a bowl of clear noodle soup. Ren Dongnan wolfed down the whole bowl and asked her for more. Ji Changying looked at him in surprise: "Have you been moving bricks for the past month? Are you so hungry?"
