Taotao, Tiedan and the others ran out secretly, each carrying a small bag. They let Ludan lead the team and went into one of the shops in the row next to the reception that was not open yet.
This place is used as a hot spring bathhouse. Miao Wan is not in a hurry to open it, mainly because it is not a place with high profits and does not require much technical skills. It just needs more bathing masters to improve the service.
When the Xiban people came, most of the bathhouses were burned down. Now there are no new bathhouses in Xining Town. The original owner of the bathhouse chose the inn, and the people of Xining Town now have no place to take a bath.
Miao Wan wanted to open it in the twelfth lunar month so that everyone could celebrate the New Year in a clean and tidy manner.
Zhang Dazhuang didn't want to be in charge of the reception, mainly because he was not good at speaking, so he chose to be in charge of this shop himself.
The recruitment notice had been sent out long ago, and the people being hired were from the town and surrounding areas. In fact, there were two shops, a men's bathhouse and a women's bathhouse. Because of the importance attached to women's reputation in that era, the two shops were not connected.
Zhang Dazhuang was in charge of the male guests with the training instructions given by Miao Wan, while Lin Dazhi's wife, who was in her forties, was in charge of the female guests with several maids.
Now the hot spring pool and shower box have been built. They just need to train their bath scrubbers and maids before they can open the business.
Miao Wan fiddled with the shower box for a long time but couldn't figure it out. So she decided to just fix a rectangular wooden box full of small holes on the wall. She would just use a ladle to fill it with water and let people take a shower underneath.
It's useless, but it's novel and saves a bit of water compared to pouring water directly on your head.
Of course, you have to try it out before it opens. Miao Wan and Qiao Ruichen each brought their little ones here once. The hot spring pool is not too deep, so even the shortest Taotao can go in and take a bath. As long as you keep an eye on her and don't let her go too deep, there is no need to worry about her choking.
The little ones were all washed so white and tender, and had a lot of fun playing in the water.
There may not be a chance to play in the water in the summer, and parents will definitely not agree with their children going into that nameless river, for they are afraid that their children might drown.
Not to mention, it wasn’t cold at all in the middle of winter, and the little ones were having a blast splashing around in the warm pool.
Unfortunately, the hot spring water here is close to the Hehuang Valley, so it has a strong smell of sulfur and the temperature is not low. Children cannot soak in it for too long, so the little ones were soon not allowed to go into the water.
They didn't have enough fun, so they each brought their own little bags and came back to play as if they were running away from home.
In fact, this is not the first time.
Cui Ya brought Qiao Ya and Tao Tao to the women's area. The young lady was a good judge of people, and the two of them stared at Tao Tao from beginning to end. As soon as they saw her little face flushed, they quickly lifted her up. The little ones were a little addicted to playing recently, but Tao Tao was the only one who didn't get enough fun.
So this time, Taotao refused to go to the women's area with Cuiya and Qiaoya. He went into a shop, hugged Tiedan and refused to let go, insisting on going to the men's area with them.
Donkey Egg was clever. He secretly slipped some copper coins to the gatekeeper and brought the little ones in through the back door. Fortunately, there were no parents watching over them at home today, so everyone came in perfect order.
As a result, Taotao held Tiedan tightly and refused to let go, which made Ludan feel a little embarrassed.
He took everyone to play together, but he was not young anymore and knew very well how important it was to keep a clear distinction between men and women. Even though Taotao was still young, he couldn't take her to walk the sparrows around the pond.
Taotao doesn't care about these things. After all, she has seen sparrows eating raw eggs and braised eggs before.
Don’t look at Taotao and Tiedan’s young age, they are the most impatient, especially Taotao, who became a fart baby right after birth because he was in a hurry to drink milk.
When Ludan told Cuiya that they wanted to coax Taotao, Taotao pulled Tiedan and ran into the men's area where water pipe was smoking.
As soon as they ran in, they found that someone raised his body and his underwear fell down. Hearing the noise, they exclaimed "Oh my God" and fell into the water.
"Where did you come from, little brat? What are you running around for?"
Tiedan only had one impression: this guy's butt was so white, he must be the type that Eminem and the others liked to beat the most.
Taotao frowned. This guy smells so bad and he’s not wearing any clothes!
So, before Xu Yiqing could wait for the two kids' answers, he saw one of the white and tender little kids said crisply to the group of kids chasing after him:
"You rascal!"
Xu Yiqing: "...You're talking nonsense! I didn't do that! I didn't do anything!"
Donkey Egg and the others: "..."
When Miao Wan and Qiao Ruichen came over, they saw their daughter with her hands on her hips, imitating Miao Wan's posture, and interrupting a certain miserable military advisor word by word, not letting him come out.
If you ignore the trembling belly, you will find it quite impressive——
"You, stink! You stink! You're so conceited!"
"The pond is mine!"
Xu Yiqing almost wanted to cry. His spare clothes were placed on a rock nearby and out of reach. The smelly clothes were thrown far away by the children. He wanted to go out, but there was a little lady scolding him endlessly.
He wondered what on earth he had done to deserve to stay and watch over Xining Town!
When Qiao Ruichen came in, Xu Yiqing was as if he had seen a Buddha, and his voice was choked with sobs, "General, can you take our daughter out first so I can put on my clothes?"
Qiao Ruichen's eyes flashed. It seemed that this man knew their family quite well. He must have some ulterior motive for staying for a month.
He pursed his lips, a cold look flashed in his eyes, and he took the guilty-feeling Donkey Egg and the others back to the mansion first.
After everyone sat down in the garrison, Xu Yiqing listened to the crying sounds outside and felt so happy.
A group of little rascals were really good. They stood by the pond and wouldn't let him out. The smallest and fattest one hated people the most. Whenever he moved, they would call him a hooligan, leaving him helpless.
Beat him, beat him hard!
Cry, cry as hard as you can!
When Miao Wan came in, she saw Xu Yiqing drinking tea like he was taking Wu Shi San. The corners of her lips twitched and she looked at Qiao Ruichen.
Is this guy mentally healthy?
Qiao Ruichen smiled, pulled Miao Wan to sit down, and introduced her, "This Mr. Xu is famous in the northwest for his article "The Cry of the Alien". He is the most valued talent under the command of General Xu Chang, the Loyal and Martial General, and is also General Xu's adopted son."
Miao Wan understood. It was a tradition in the military to adopt one's confidants as one's adopted sons. On the one hand, it was to consolidate the relationship, and on the other hand, it could be considered a legacy if the family's offspring did not live up to expectations.
When I make a newspaper in the future, I can use this person!
Miao Shiren would not consider the possibility that others might be unwilling. If they were unwilling, it meant that they did not have enough routines. She might be lacking many things, but she did not lack routines.
But what she didn't understand was, "My most cherished adopted son... spent a whole month cleaning the toilet in the inn?"
Does anyone know that Mr. Xu is missing?
What happened to the promise of giving it the most importance? What, only once a year is enough?
Qiao Ruichen glanced at Xu Yiqing, whose expression remained unchanged, with a half-smile. "Perhaps he has other intentions, or perhaps this toilet cleaning is also very important to General Xu. I never thought that General Xu is so busy with military affairs that he is rarely seen, while his subordinates are happy to do such trivial things in Xining Town."
Xu Yiqing coughed lightly a few times, feeling a little uncomfortable. It was one thing to covet other people's good things, but it was another to be pointed out that someone was not giving him face in the county town.
If he doesn't explain it clearly, he might have to clean the toilet for the rest of his life if he volunteered to do so.
Originally, Xu Yiqing refused to clean the toilet even if he was beaten to death, as it was not a decent thing to do.
If those who dislike him knew about this, Xu Yiqing would be beaten into a cesspool of talent in this life, and his articles might even be criticized as stinking, and he would not be able to face people in the future.
But then again, if he can't be killed... he still has to do what he has to do. His leg was injured, and he revealed his identity in a moment of desperation. He hasn't found out anything yet, and he will be laughed at when he goes back.
He gritted his teeth, closed his eyes, and most importantly, he couldn't run away, so he still followed them to transport the manure.
There are more and more people in the inn, and it is impossible to wash the toilet in the inn, so they work near the septic tank.
I originally thought it would be a scene that could suffocate people to death, but after I went there, I didn't expect that there was a smell, but it was not too strong.
Firstly, the weather was cold, and secondly, the place where the manure was poured was covered tightly. The smell was only stronger when the iron lid was opened to pour it in.
Xu Yiqing also heard about the composting. For the soldiers, food was the top priority. Moreover, due to the climate in the northwest, only one crop could be grown a year. They had always been restricted by the problem of food and grass, and did not dare to fight the Xiban people with real swords and guns.
It is said that composting can increase grain harvest, and someone at the post station spread the news that when the emperor was in Xiping County, he learned about the harvest in Xining Town and was very pleased.
Although most of the generals in the county town do not give Qiao Ruichen much face, you will see when spring comes and the flowers bloom. By then, the general will have arrived, and Qiao Ruichen's status will not be embarrassing. Whether he can go up or be suppressed in Xining Town, it will not prevent everyone from making friends with him.
It will be a different scene then.
This is also the reason why there is no trouble in the county city now. People don't give face so that they can have an explanation when the general comes in the future, not to fall out with Qiao Ruichen.
Xu Yiqing just wanted to find out more about the composting matter so that he could explain it to his adoptive father and the others when he returned, and he didn't plan to stay any longer.
If he doesn't go back for a few days, Xu Chang will definitely send someone to pick him up, as there are many things waiting for him to deal with.
Unexpectedly, when Xu Yiqing was investigating, he found something wrong. There were actually things planted in the Qiao family's fields, and they had even built a shed with a charcoal brazier burning inside.
He took a look when no one was paying attention, and found that the plants were lush and green, and seemed to be about to mature. The leaves were pointed and round, somewhat like the leaves of the money tree, but thinner.
Xu Yiqing had also tended military fields before, and knew that this was definitely not rice, soybeans, or barley. He calmly asked questions to the person who was cleaning the toilet and the person in charge of guarding the field.
What he got out of it shocked him greatly. It turned out to be a kind of grain called ground eggs.
It is said that the yield per mu is higher than that of soybeans. A crop is produced in winter to save seeds. If more are saved, Xining Town will not lack food next year.
Xu Yiqing is different from others. He has been worrying about the military supplies all year round and knows very well how much food Xining Town needs in a year.
In the town and its surrounding areas, there are less than 4,000 non-military households, and less than 8,000 military households and soldiers. The amount of food consumed by more than 10,000 people in a year is not a small number.
He saw that the Qiao family had only cultivated less than three acres of land. Just based on the seeds from these three acres, did they dare to say that there was no shortage of food?
Xu Yiqing didn't believe it.
But this is everyone's beautiful vision, including Xu Yiqing's.
I don't believe it, but I'd rather believe it exists.
In addition, Xu Yiqing heard that the two old farmers in charge of the Qiao family attached great importance to these acres of land and said it with great confidence, so he knew that he could not leave.
Afraid that Qiao Ruichen and others would remember him too soon, he deliberately reduced his presence. When people came to pick him up, he left a letter for his adoptive father and just stayed there.
If he had said earlier that he was caught and had to clean the toilet, it would have been a laughing stock and a disgrace.
Now he doesn't want to leave. As long as he can get a little information about high-yield crops, he can plant them in the fields of Xu's army. This is called bearing humiliation and carrying heavy burdens. He is a great contributor and will beat anyone who dares to make fun of him.
Comparing the two, even if he had been fooled, Xu Yiqing would have refused to leave.
Seeing the smile on Qiao Ruichen's face, he knew that the past month or so had not been in vain. He knew that this man was a smart one, and as the former deputy commander of the Imperial Guard, he must have good vision. There was no point in beating around the bush.
He spoke the truth directly, "So that Madam can know, I heard that you have grain yields of over a thousand kilograms per mu, and that you can grow it even in the middle of winter. I really wanted to witness it, so I stayed here specially. The General and Madam are busy, so I didn't dare to bother you."
Miao Wan suddenly realized that potatoes could be harvested in the twelfth lunar month. This person was working in the fields even though his body was in the manure pit.
Qiao Ruichen squeezed Miao Wan's hand and stopped her from speaking.
He said calmly, "If Mr. Xu wants to know, just ask General Xu to tell me. Secret experiments are also being conducted in the capital, and this is not a secret in Xining Town. Why would Mr. Xu... be a thief?"
Xu Yiqing: “…” He still hadn’t forgotten about his night visit to the alkali factory.
He suppressed his embarrassment and pretended to be clueless. "General, that's serious. I just heard that there are better things for sale over there, but they're not open to the public. I was really dazzled by the good things in the inn and wanted to go see if I could buy some."
Qiao Ruichen remained unmoved, "Middle of the night?"
Xu Yiqing smiled, his skin much thicker than the couple thought. "During the day, there's no chance of even talking. The guards won't let me in either."
Qiao Ruichen nodded, "It seems that the gentleman knows that he can't get in in the middle of the night, so he doesn't distinguish between day and night, but just changes his target."
Xu Yiqing: "..." He just couldn't stand the stench.
After all, secretly bathing in someone else's pool was not a glorious thing to do. Xu Yiqing readily apologized, "It was Xu Meng who was reckless."
Seeing that Qiao Ruichen didn't mention the matter of the devil, Xu Yiqing felt that he had lost all face and refused to give up.
"I wonder when the eggs will be ready for harvest? I've tended to the fields a bit, and it looks like they should be almost ripe. I heard these eggs could provide Xining Town with enough food for the entire year. I'm sure we'll have to plant some rice and barley too. Could you share some with the Xu family army?"
Qiao Ruichen raised his eyes and looked at him, "Is this what General Xu meant?"
Xu Yiqing understood what Qiao Ruichen wanted to say, smiled bitterly and shook his head, "This is Xu's selfish motive for the soldiers, but the general should be aware that the generals in the county who have a say are unwilling to express their opinions. In fact, it is also for your own good. After all, the newly appointed general has not yet arrived in the northwest. If the generals all support you, it will be like putting you in trouble."
Miao Wan felt that what Xu Yiqing said made some sense. In this case, those generals did not make trouble in private, but were just cold and indifferent, which also showed that they were optimistic about her husband.
Maybe giving them some potatoes would make them interested and really stand with the Qiao family.
She turned to look at Qiao Ruichen, but Qiao Ruichen just smiled slightly, pinched Miao Wan's little hand, and told her not to worry.
"The grain from a few acres of land is only enough for some people in Xining Town, so we still have to grow crops like rice and barley.
I understand the generals' good intentions. Why not wait for the Grand General to arrive and present the grain seeds to him, so that he can make the decision? Zicheng can also let the Grand General know that I have no intention of abusing my power, and it won't be in vain for the generals' good intentions."
Xu Yiqing's face turned a little pale. If it really fell into the hands of the general, the good thing would be to consider the entire Gubei Army, but the greedy ones would hold the military land in their own hands. It was still unknown whether the Xu family army could have enough to eat.
Miao Wan also suddenly realized and learned something: it is better to win over the general than to win over the subordinates. She narrowed her eyes and thought that this military advisor was not honest.
Seeing that Xu Yiqing didn't say anything and Qiao Ruichen didn't stop her from speaking, Miao Wan thought about it and knew that this person must not know how good potatoes are and was unwilling to show his cards. She laughed.
"My husband, I forgot to tell you that this earth egg can be used to make five or six seeds, and one seed can produce more than ten or twenty earth eggs. Our northwest soil is mostly sandy, so the earth eggs are not compressed so tightly underground. They may grow better than in the Western Regions.
One seed can produce at least ten kilograms of grain. We plan to save some for frying during the New Year, and we might as well give some to Mr. Xu."
Xu Yiqing was originally unsure whether this idiot was exaggerating, and did not want to reveal his cards as Qiao Ruichen wished. After hearing what Miao Wan said, he was greatly moved and could hardly control himself.
"One egg can produce dozens of kilograms of grain? Madam, are you exaggerating?"
Miao Wan tilted her head, thinking of her daughter's innocent look, and played it off lightly, "Why would I exaggerate? If it weren't for the fact that this thing is filling, delicious, and abundant, and I don't have a lot of money, I wouldn't have to grow it in the middle of winter to eat for the New Year."
Xu Yiqing: "..." Listen to yourself, are you talking like a human being? Just to satisfy your cravings for the New Year, you have to plant it now. Don't you have money to burn? What is it?
But if a single egg can produce dozens of kilograms of grain, and those dozens of kilograms can become hundreds of kilograms, and an acre of land can produce at least a thousand kilograms, then...
His breathing was a little unstable, so the soldiers would no longer have to worry about going hungry.
But Xu Yiqing, as a military advisor, was naturally suspicious. He pinched his palms hard, but his face remained calm. "In that case, I will be waiting for the general's annual gift. I will definitely ask my father to come and deliver the gift to the general himself."
This promise was enough in Xu Yiqing's view. As long as Xu Chang recognized Qiao Ruichen's position as General Yunhui and was willing to come to deliver the festival gifts, it would be difficult for others not to come.
Even if everyone still doesn't cooperate well at that time, at least when the general arrives, he won't directly remove Qiao Ruichen.
Miao Wan curled her lips. This guy was really all talk and no action. He didn't give anything but just talked big.
"You don't have to be so polite. I have many children at home, and most of the food is kept as seeds for us to eat. At most, I can send a bag of food to your house to try. There is no need for a New Year gift. What do you think, my husband?" Miao Wan was afraid that she would say something wrong, so she looked at Qiao Ruichen.
A smile flashed in Qiao Ruichen's eyes. Ever since his wife scolded Su Rina last time, he discovered that sometimes his wife's willfulness was much better than him making any formal decision.
As for other people talking nonsense? Well, everyone knows he's a henpecked man.
"As long as my wife is happy." Qiao Ruichen looked at Miao Wan gently, "Don't you think lard tastes bad? Call me when you go to press soybean oil. I'm strong enough."
Xu Yiqing: "..." Tai! My stomach feels uncomfortable.
Miao Wan raised her chin proudly. Before Xu Yiqing could continue bargaining, she continued, "Mr. Xu, you don't have to be so polite. I just like making friends, and it's no problem to give gifts to people I like. After all, most of the recipes in Xining Commercial Street are my gifts. We can make money together and share delicious food together."
Xu Yiqing was stunned for a moment. He always felt that Miao Wan had something else to say.
But before he could figure it out, Miao Wan gave him another big bag. "By the way, I'll give Mr. Xu whatever he likes. But we have to settle the score for what happened to Mr. Xu in my factory and hot spring bathhouse, right?"
She asked someone to bring an abacus over, "The night shift workers in the factory were frightened by Mr. Xu. Two taels of silver per person for mental damages is not too much, right?
There are also guards who have to carry Mr. Xu in and disinfect you to prevent you from getting tetanus. The minimum cost of tetanus treatment at the pharmacy is ten taels of silver.
The strong liquor I used to disinfect you was specially distilled here. It used a lot of fine wine from the interior. One jar cost one hundred taels. You used half a jar. You have to pay for the rest, right? "
After finishing the calculation, Miao Wan looked at Xu Yiqing with a smile, "The total is seventy-eight taels. Sir, do you want to pay with banknotes, cash, or goods? I'm not picky here, you can come to pick it up at my door."
Xu Yiqing: "..." He didn't lack this little money, he just wanted to know, is this Mrs. Qiao counting Pixiu? She is too stingy.
Oh, he cleaned their family's toilets for a month, without any wages, and even asked for money. Who would believe it if he told others about it?
"Oh, by the way, I have another good idea." Miao Wan suddenly remembered something she had not had time to tell the West Camp and the North Camp.
"If a soldier makes a mistake, I'm afraid someone will die if I beat him too hard, but I'm also afraid someone will violate military discipline if I don't. I can provide some work for the Gubei Army. If anyone violates military rules, they can be sent directly to my toilet. I'll wash it from morning to night, and feed them steamed bread. No oil is put in the dishes. I guarantee they won't dare to violate discipline again when they return."
Xu Yiqing was already numb. It seemed that it wasn't enough for me to suffer alone, and you wanted the entire Xu family army to suffer...
"In the future, when you farm, you will also need manure. When they come to flush the toilet, they can also learn how to ferment fertilizer. It's a three-pronged approach. Mr. Xu, you don't have to thank me too much. I am a kind person. I will definitely not charge you tuition fees." Miao Wan added.
Xu Yiqing: "..." Have you ever thought about giving you all the money???
But this method seems to be quite good. He has already tricked out a military advisor, so naturally... the more the better. Those troublemakers and bastards will definitely never dare to violate discipline again.
Thinking about it this way, it seemed that it was quite worthwhile for him to pay the money. The more Xu Yiqing thought about it, the more he felt that it was appropriate.
"I will discuss this with my adoptive father later. If the eggs from the ground can also be cultivated in the military fields of our Xu family army, then we will have to send people to bother the general and his wife." Xu Yiqing settled the bill and left a promise.
When I returned to the county town and met Xu Chang, and told my adoptive father about it, I felt that something was wrong.
Xu Chang was a rough man, his eyes widened the more he listened. After finishing his words, he slapped his thigh and called him stupid, "Damn it, my sons and soldiers all have to work for me, dirty work at that. It's my job to punish my soldiers, why should they work for her? It's fine if she doesn't pay me, but she's willing to teach me for nothing if I'm going to use her to make fertilizer? We still have to buy grain seeds, and she still convinced you with this? This woman is a bit evil."
Xu Yiqing finally realized, yes, it was Xu Jiajun's own business if he made a mistake and was punished. If Madam Qiao wanted someone to work, she could give the wages to her adoptive father. Why should she work for free?
He couldn't believe that he had been fooled by a little girl.
"Taotao calls him a filthy scoundrel, but he still bullies her husband and makes him sound righteous even though he has a lot of bad intentions. If we don't cheat him, who else will we cheat?" Miao Wan was also laughing at home.
"Anyway, he's already agreed. If he doesn't admit it later, I'll have someone write a story and spread it all over the county about him washing the toilet."
Qiao Ruichen was very happy that his wife was protecting him, so he naturally responded without hesitation, but he was still thinking about the crying outside.
"Where are Taotao and the others?"
Miao Wan snorted, "I guess they're just hanging out with Qiaoya. What a bunch of brats! They're not afraid of accidentally falling into the water and drowning. This is no joke."
Qiao Ruichen leaned over to listen to the noise next door, but there was no whimpering sound, so he guessed that the baby had fallen asleep.
He was a little curious, "Did you hit Qiaoya?" He didn't expect that his wife could have the heart to do that.
"No, I asked my second and third sisters-in-law to come and beat them up. They were quite busy. They came and started beating us up, and then left without wasting any time. Donkey Egg and Dog Egg couldn't hide, and they brought people with them." Miao Wan wanted to laugh when she thought about it.
"Before, I could give Donkey Egg and Dog Egg time to run, but today I just said I didn't have time to chase them and just pinned them down. They were both stunned. I almost laughed out loud."
Even Cui Ya was confused. No one had ever seen the attitude of "I'm here to beat you because I'm in a hurry. If you know what's good for you, I'll beat you quickly and leave quickly. If you don't know what's good for you, you just want to be beaten more."
After the beating, the whole yard was filled with people covering their buttocks. The beating was very efficient.
Qiao Ruichen was also amused, "Then I'll go talk some sense into those brats."
"I don't think it's useful. They just know they're wrong and will make the same mistake again next time they get a chance. As long as they know that Xiong Dafa gets beaten so violently, they will definitely be more cautious in the future." Miao Wan thought it was unnecessary.
Didn't she know as a child that riding a pig to chase a chicken was wrong? Didn't she know that jumping on the sofa was wrong?
Children don’t care about right or wrong, they only care about whether they feel good or not, and whether it hurts after they feel good or not... Wow, it seems that this applies to both adults and children.
Miao Wan rolled her eyes and hugged Qiao Ruichen's neck, "Husband, no more little rascals will sneak into the bed tonight."
Taotao's need for his parents is intermittent. Occasionally, when he is sleeping and can't see his mother, he will complain. Most of the time, when Qiao Rui is taking care of him, he doesn't want his parents to be there.
I'm in trouble today, so I definitely won't have time to get into bed.
"With so many bear cubs at home, I think..." She leaned close to Qiao Ruichen's ear, "Why don't we have another one..."
Qiao Ruichen thought she wanted to give birth to a well-behaved child, and he felt a little sorry for Taotao. Who knows if this kid will be a bad boy?
"Give birth to a bearer one!" Miao Wan chuckled. "Then Taotao will definitely not feel wronged when he sees his younger siblings getting beaten. After all, parents treat everyone equally, and only with comparison can there be a sense of happiness."
Qiao Ruichen: “…”
He followed his wife's strength and hugged her into his arms. If he remained unmoved by her invitation, he was sick. It was just that the passion had not subsided, and he was worried about his wife.
"You're so busy right now, if you were healthy, could you handle it?"
Miao Wan held him tightly, her voice as if she could squeeze out water, "If you can bear it, I want to give birth."
The busier she was, the more urgent her feelings became. Even if the common people could live a good life, she would still feel uneasy because of the powerful enemies who were eyeing them covetously.
If you want to completely solve the problem, storing up food is one thing, but strengthening the army and building high walls is more important. You can be rich but you also have to be able to defend it.
This is her weakness, and she doesn't have a golden finger, so she can only hope to see "Miao Wan" again.
Qiao Ruichen didn't know why his wife wanted to have children, but he was moved by her enthusiasm and eagerness to bear children for him.
As the night deepened, the wind howled and it seemed as if snow was about to begin again.
The author has something to say:
God: I, your dear father, don’t have to wait until you give birth to a baby, my golden finger is on the way!
