The winter of the tenth year of Xuanhe was an extremely special year for the people in the northwest, especially those in Xining Town and its surrounding areas.
They once again experienced the torture of fire, but ushered in an unprecedented good life.
Most people were like this. They had never imagined that they could live in a brick and tile house, learn to weave fine cotton cloth, have enough food and warm clothes, or even spend five cents to take a bath that would make them rub off a layer of skin, and use fragrant soap and body wash...
What they could not have imagined the most was that the land could grow crops with a yield of 2,000 kilograms per mu.
For the common people, land is their life, and having land to farm means they can survive.
So when the second snow fell this year, everyone was very happy and looked forward to a good harvest next year.
But that was something they only dared to think about after they had been busy sowing in the spring, watering the fields in the summer, and working hard in the autumn. They never thought that they would be able to see this scene before the New Year.
Only the Qiao family, Xu Chang and Xu Yiqing knew when the potatoes were ready to be harvested.
Xu Chang and his son actually sent the soldiers who had done something wrong to clean the toilet and work for the Jufu Inn for free.
When they learned that there would be a harvest, several soldiers who were cleaning the toilets also hugged their toilets and cried, and immediately reported the situation.
Xu Chang and Xu Yiqing quickly put down what they were doing and came over. Qiao Ruichen brought Miao Wan, Qiao Rui held Taotao, and Aunt Geng and Uncle Geng brought a group of children, all to the greenhouse.
Everyone wants to see how much potatoes can produce.
Everyone went to the fields, even Taotao tried his best to compete with the potato vines.
Miao Wan knew that there were dozens of potatoes lying below, and it would be difficult to trick the child into falling. Besides, the ground was all soil, so it wouldn't hurt if he fell, so she didn't stop him.
She was digging potatoes herself with a shovel.
"Remember not to use too much force, otherwise the potatoes will be broken and cannot be preserved until spring." Miao Wan reminded Uncle Zhang and Uncle Wu.
The two old men took it very seriously and ran around giving instructions to people.
Of course, it’s good enough if these people come to work and don’t cause trouble. The main workers are still the tenant farmers of the Qiao family and the people hired to work.
Therefore, when the potatoes were dug out, the shocked people shouted out all of a sudden.
"Wow, there are really more than a dozen of them, big and small???"
"Look at what I have in my hand. This one is even bigger. It's as big as two of my fists!"
"When we first planted the seeds, were they this big?"
"Who knows, but I remember I planted thousands of seeds."
…
Those who were smart enough to calculate it, fell there with a thud.
"Hey, Ah Qing, what's wrong with you?"
Xu Yiqing was stunned, his face blank. Thousands of seeds, each seed produced over ten kilograms of fruit. Three mu of land would yield... tens of thousands of kilograms?
How many eggs were needed to grow the seeds? They asked the Western merchants, and they seemed to have said 500 kilograms.
Five hundred pounds versus tens of thousands of pounds? Xu Yiqing looked up at the sky... at the ceiling, feeling dizzy. He thought he might not have woken up yet. This dream was too outrageous.
Qiao Ruichen's voice came faintly, telling him that the dream was indeed too beautiful.
"A total of 400 kilograms of seeds produce more than 2,000 kinds. Not every plant can produce more than 10 kilograms, and not every seed can be planted. Let's first look at the yield per mu."
Xu Yiqing wiped his face. Fortunately, it wasn’t that outrageous, otherwise he would have been scared to death.
He was not in good physical condition, but he worked very hard at this moment, just wanting to know the yield per mu as soon as possible.
Those tenant farmers and temporary workers couldn't hold on any longer, so it was a miracle to lift over a thousand kilograms.
Hurry back and call the villagers over. Don't say anything. They are all staying up all winter and have nothing to do. Come and help harvest the land. Whether we can have enough food to eat next year depends on this little while.
When Miao Wan was tired of working (playing) with the children, she looked up and found that several people were about to fight because of who would get the potato first.
"Why are there so many people?" Miao Wan asked Qiao Ruichen, who had been watching the child with him.
Qiao Ruichen told her what had just happened. He glanced at Xu Chang and his son, who were as excited as if they had been injected with chicken blood, and whispered to his wife, "I asked Zhang Bo to arrange this. The more people know, the more embarrassed the Gubei Army will be to seize it. Otherwise, these few acres of land will not be enough for the military to divide."
Miao Wan's eyes immediately became fierce, "You can divide it, grab it, and break it with your hands!"
She is also happy to ensure that the soldiers have enough food and warm clothing, but if the seeds are given to the military fields and the grain is produced, will it all be distributed?
Isn’t it that the officials’ families can eat their fill first and then distribute the rest?
Why are the things she got in exchange for the shower gel recipe cheaper than those people who only know how to go shopping in the commercial street and have money to play with?
Don't treat bean buns as dry food. If she gets pushed to the limit, she will just put the imperial edict in her pocket and cry in front of the doors of those houses. She thinks she is a shrew and a street swearer.
Seeing her mother like this, Taotao grabbed a small potato that was only as big as her fist and threw it towards Xu Yiqing, "Robbery, you hooligan!"
"Ouch! Which bastard?" He didn't throw it accurately and hit Xu Chang's raised butt.
General Xu's eyes widened and he turned around to curse.
Miao Wan immediately bent down and grabbed the potatoes to count, and Taotao immediately squatted down to pull the potato leaves, leaving Qiao Ruichen who had no time to react: "..."
Okay, kiss your wife and daughter, the sooner you become a bear, the faster you become a coward.
Xu Yiqing heard Taotao's words and suppressed a laugh. "I guess someone didn't hold it firmly. How can you still have time to argue with that little bastard?"
Seeing his adopted son making faces at the mother and daughter squatting on the ground, Xu Chang was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. He kicked Xu Yiqing, shook his head and continued to pick potatoes.
How could he still care about women and children? It was because he did something bad when he was in Xining Town that earned the hatred of the young lady.
Anyway, General Xu refused to admit that he was not liked by children.
If more than a dozen people were required to harvest three acres of land, it would take at least two days. However, with the people brought by Xu Chang and dozens of skilled farmers who came from nearby, the harvest was completed in just one morning.
Uncle Zhang and Uncle Wu went to borrow a scale and started weighing.
There were only about 700 seedlings distributed on each of the three acres of land, interspersed with cabbage and lettuce that are easy to mature. It is estimated that some seedlings did not survive, also because it was the first time to be tended. The seedling success rate was about 70%.
But even so, the yield per mu is 570 kilograms!
In fact, more than 2,000 seedlings can be planted in one acre of land. The reason why they are divided into three acres of land is that the temperature is different and the care methods are also different. If they are all put in one acre of land, they may fail and become ugly.
So the maximum yield from three mu of land is 720 kilograms, and the minimum is 400 kilograms.
Excluding cabbage and lettuce, if one acre of land can grow 2,500 seedlings, according to the average value, even if the seedling rate is only 70%, the yield per acre must be 2,000 kilograms!
If the land could be cultivated according to the yield of 720 kilograms per mu, Xu Chang would feel that the air was a little thin. The yield per mu could reach 1,200 kilograms!
Miao Wan was a little surprised. Potatoes could not catch up with sweet potatoes in terms of yield per mu. In later generations, three thousand seedlings could generally produce five to eight thousand kilograms of potatoes. In this era, two thousand kilograms was considered a high yield.
But on second thought, Miao Wan felt that it made sense. The soil in the northwest was more suitable for the growth of fruit-bearing crops in the ground, perhaps because the soil in Xining Town was good.
She had experienced the future and accepted this per-acre yield well. However, the common people, even Xu Chang and his men, were not so accepting of it. Some of them had already kowtowed to the ground, praying for God's blessing.
At present, the per-acre yield of rice in Jiangnan reaches 700 kilograms, and in the Beijing area, the per-acre yield of soybeans can reach 900 kilograms. As for grain, I have never heard of any place that can exceed 1,000 kilograms.
There is a weight of two thousand kilograms here, which is enough to shock people even if it is just calculated.
Moreover, the seedling rate was not high enough for the first planting, and the weather also had an impact. It will definitely get better and better in the future. If the grain in the fields can produce this much, will the people still lack food?
Xu Chang immediately stepped forward and treated Qiao Ruichen with a much friendlier expression. "Young General, I was busy clearing out the remnants of the Chen clan within the Xu family army a while ago, and I really didn't have time to accept your invitation. It's a bit disrespectful to say that, but how about I treat you a meal? I happen to have some good wine hidden away."
Qiao Ruichen knew the reason for his pretense, so he didn't refuse. He just smiled and said, "It will be evening before the old general's good wine is brought over. Maybe next time."
Without waiting for Xu Chang to invite him to the county capital, Qiao Ruichen said, "Some of these cracked potatoes won't keep well. How about having a potato feast at the garrison? My wife also left half a jar of good wine. Let's do this as a token of our appreciation and not delay the old general's official duties."
Speaking of half a jar of wine, Xu Yiqing's lips twitched. Could it be the leftovers for disinfection?
Thinking of the burning pain in his legs and the rich taste, he swallowed, and both father and son agreed without hesitation.
The children were also clamoring for food, especially Tiedan. He touched whatever he wanted with his hands and kept putting it in his mouth.
"Auntie, Tiao Tiao!"
Miao Wan felt a little suffocated by what she saw. Seeing that Taotao also wanted to follow suit, she quickly grabbed her hand and even quickly pulled Tiedan's hand out.
"From now on, don't put your hands directly into your mouth after touching something outside, otherwise you will eat all the bugs. Then they will grow bigger and bigger in your stomach, and you will need medicine to defecate them. If they grow too big, they will even eat your stomach."
Taotao was so scared that she covered her stomach and shouted, "Eat chicken, eat chicken!", asking the chicken to eat the worms in her stomach quickly!
Miao Wan: “…” You’re dreaming, but you’re eating chicken because you have worms in your stomach.
"Can you swallow a live chicken?" she asked Taotao.
Qiao Rui thought about the scene, it was so beautiful that her throat felt choked.
Taotao patted her belly with some regret and said, "No." Her mother gave birth to her with a small mouth. It would be okay if her mouth was as big as Black Hawk's.
On the way back, Xu Chang smiled and praised Qiao Ruichen, "The young general has married a virtuous wife. It sounds like she has some knowledge of medical principles."
Qiao Ruichen was just about to nod and say something modestly, but my wife had such good intentions that she had to express them.
Then I heard the children in the mule cart making noise again.
It all started when Taotao boasted to Maodan, "My mom gave me a little brother who can eat chicken! He has a black eagle beak!"
She gestured as she spoke, making sure everyone, young and old, understood what she meant: My mother, the baby she gave birth to will have a mouth bigger than a dog's.
Miao Wan's lips twitched. You actually have confidence in your mother.
Maodan was not convinced. He had more confidence in his mother. "My mother gave birth too! Mule mouth!"
Tiedan said that in the competition of who is more afraid of who, he has the loudest voice, "I call you my mother's voice too! I have a camel and horse mouth!"
Xu Chang held back his laughter and muttered to himself, "Wow, each one is more capable than the other. Let's not even talk about whether your father has the ability or not, I just wonder how ugly your children will be when they are born."
The comparison ended with Miao Wan getting her head blasted, and she even threatened the child, "If you keep talking nonsense, there's no such thing as not spanking children before the New Year. Do you all want to eat stir-fried pork and bamboo shoots during the New Year?"
Taotao was giggling and nestling in Miao Wan's arms, acting like a spoiled child. Even the sucking of his chubby belly couldn't hide his trembling cuteness. "Mommy loves you, Taotao. I won't hit you."
The other children followed suit and rushed towards Miao Wan, saying, "Auntie loves me and won't hit me."
"I'm a vegetarian during the New Year!"
"We'll eat meat after the New Year!"
Miao Wan had a blank expression on her face: "I've written it all down. I'll tell your parents when I get back."
The little ones were giggling and scattered around in the mule cart, hugging each other and begging for mercy. They were looking around the mule cart in a noisy manner, with smiles on their faces.
Anyway, as long as Miao Wan stayed with the children, hundreds of ducks would be released, and the power would spread to thousands.
Speaking of ducks, we have to mention the Wulingha clan in the county town.
With Ruan Jialin in charge of the county town, Yunxi followed Miao Wan's example and held a flash mob and a rural stage every half a month. Even though the weather was too cold and fewer people went to the rural towns, it became lively again as people started buying New Year's goods in the twelfth lunar month.
In contrast, Wuliangha's shop was deserted, and even down jackets and milk tofu were not as popular as before.
Although Xining Town does not sell milk tofu, it does sell down jackets. You can buy a jacket for only two taels of silver, and a thick cotton jacket for five cents of silver. One tael of silver can not only buy a complete set of cotton jacket and cotton pants, but also a scarf.
The Wuliangha family's business in the county town originally relied on cattle and sheep products and felt carpets for the majority, followed by rouge shops and restaurants. The profits from down jackets and roast ducks were strangled before long.
After a while, everyone knew that Wuliangha was selling counterfeit goods, and as a result, other things were not selling well. In less than three months, more than a dozen shop owners could no longer hold on and came to the palace to find their bosses.
"Boss, our restaurant's kumis and milk tofu are not selling well. If this continues, we'll have to pay for the round-trip shipping. It's almost the twelfth lunar month, so should we lower the prices?"
"Yes, boss, the gold thread in our rouge shop is completely unsaleable and we're losing a lot of money. Our other rouge and powder were selling OK, but for some reason, the wealthy families in the county town took the goods from Xining Town and had people come out to sell them cheaply, almost the same price as our rouge and powder, but the quality is better. Our shop hasn't even made 500 taels of silver this month."
"Boss, I'm listening to you. We've brought in a lot of cotton, grain, and sugar. We were originally planning to go to Anyong County to check it out, but the merchants are faster than us, and we can't sell anything in Anyong County. Should we return to Northern Mongolia as soon as possible? Maybe we can even make back our money by going to the Royal Court."
…
Agula looked okay, but Bayin and Surina looked particularly bad. They were the ones who wanted as many people as possible to consume the goods from Jufu Supermarket and Xining Town, and they accounted for at least 30% of the people.
But now that I have the goods, I can’t resell them.
Sell it at a higher price, others buy it cheaper than them.
Sell it at the original price. They spent money to hire someone, which means they are losing money.
Selling at a lower price? Even more loss.
I originally thought that the Qiao family wouldn't last long, but I heard that they showed no signs of failing. I also heard that they were planning to increase their distribution volume in the second half of the twelfth lunar month, and that Xining Town Commercial Street was also planning to hold some kind of New Year's promotion.
The Wuliangha clan was tempted by the cheap prices and wanted to continue buying goods, but they couldn't sell them and the cash in their hands could not hold on. Who is trying to trick whom?
"Brother, shouldn't we go find General Qi and Lord Wu and tell them to sit down and talk with the Qiao family? If they keep going like this, don't blame us for being a loser. At worst, we can roast duck for free. We have more ducks than them. How can they compete with us?"
Su Rina rolled her eyes. "Don't use your brain. Then we don't have to spend money to raise ducks? Miao Wan is using other businesses to make up for this loss. Down jackets and cotton coats are also selling well. Our down jackets are not selling well. Killing the ducks now means double the loss."
"What should we do? Just watch him destroy our Wulingha clan?" Bayin knew that this method was too simple and crude, but it was the most effective one now.
According to Bayin's intuition, Miao Wan and Qiao Ruichen are definitely not the kind of people who would fight to the death with a mermaid.
Agula looked at Surina, "What do you think?"
Su Rina has become much more distant from the ladies in the harem recently. She was angry at first, but now she has calmed down.
The most effective method is not for Wuliangha to intervene. "I will take the people and goods to the royal court, exchange the goods for cash, and let Qiyan negotiate with the Gubei Army. Isn't Qiao Ruichen General Yunhui? He can't refuse to give face to Qiyan."
A hint of sarcasm flashed in Agula's eyes. Qi Yan might show up, so how much cash could he bring back in exchange for the goods?
"Okay, then you and Bayin will set off tomorrow." Agula seemed to have aged a lot. After thinking for a while, he said, "Just in case we fall out, Su Rina, you take the children and Bayin, you take everyone else back."
Bayin's expression changed, and Su Rina also stood up. "Then what are you going to do?"
Agula's face was calm. "You are all in Northern Mongolia. He dare not touch me, unless Dayue wants to face two enemies at the same time."
Su Rina's eyes flashed and she walked out silently.
Bayin was a little anxious. "Brother, you know very well that if you have anything, Wuliangha's child will belong to Surina in the future. But the child has been raised by Surina's Abu. It's hard to say who will own Wuliangha in the future!"
"That's why I asked you to go back too." Agula looked at Bayin seriously. "The Qiyan clan wants to annex the Wuliangha clan, but the Wuliangha clan's connections only affect our bloodline. When you go back, don't worry about what Su Rina does. Just gather all the Wuliangha clan guards in the tribe. If she has other ideas, kill her guards and defect to the Buqi clan."
The Buqi family was the royal family of the previous generation in Northern Mongolia and is now also a major family in Northern Mongolia. As long as the Qiyan family does not want to be torn apart, they will not dare to act rashly.
"What about you, brother?" Bayin frowned. "If the Qiyan clan wants to conquer Dayue, they will definitely want you dead."
Agula smiled and said, "This is my bargaining chip with Qiao Zicheng. If he doesn't want to fight, he won't dare let me die."
If you don't dare to kill him, then your recent targeting is just bluffing and you should stop now.
If you dare to kill him, it will be a wake-up call to Beimeng. Dayue also regards Beimeng as an enemy, so let's fight it.
As a native of Northern Mongolia, Agula always has to do something for Northern Mongolia.
Agula was also very frank when facing Qiao Ruichen.
Brothers who once stood back to back and trusted each other, and experienced life and death together, no longer have the friendship they once had when they face each other, but there is no need to beat around the bush when speaking.
"The Qiyan clan asked the Wuliangha clan to cooperate with the Qiao clan and obtain the secret correspondence between the Qiao and Qiyan clans so that the Qiao family could be used by the Northern Mongols."
Qiao Ruichen was a little shocked. If the Wuliangha family cooperated with the Qiao family in business, there would definitely be correspondence. No one knew whether there would be someone from the Qiyan family among them. It would be too easy for them to do something wrong.
"So I broke my promise and cut all ties with the Qiao family. On the surface, I was unwilling to let the Qi Yan family take away half of my property. I haven't been able to take revenge yet, so I vent my hatred on the Qiao family.
I was secretly expressing my dissatisfaction with the Qiyan clan, and wanted to make more money to strengthen the Wuliangha clan."
Qiao Ruichen said in a deep voice: "All of this is based on the fact that you think Dayue won't easily fall out with you, right?"
Agula nodded and said, "Mrs. Qiao is right. The Northern Mongols do have a sense of superiority. Including me, we all thought that the Qiao family would not dare to really target the Wuliangha family at the beginning.
The convenience Chen Sixu has given us over the years has only further fueled the ambitions of the Northern Mongols. "Since you can occupy the Central Plains, why can't the powerful and courteous Northern Mongols occupy it too? At least we won't burn, kill, rob, or abuse like the Western Tibetans."
Qiao Ruichen's face was icy cold. "So you think starting a war won't kill anyone?"
Agula was speechless. He paused for a long moment before leaving and turned back. "This is all I can do. Even Wuliangha might not be able to save herself. She has sacrificed her reputation, her wealth, and perhaps even her wife and children. I have repaid your life-saving grace."
Qiao Ruichen understood what Agula meant. If Agula wanted to invade, he could become the Qiao family's closest partner.
But Agula chose the path of betrayal, which made the Qiyan clan dissatisfied. Northern Mongolia was not a monolithic entity, and the Wulingha clan might be able to delay the Qiyan clan for a few years.
When the Qiyan clan became increasingly powerful and unified northern Mongolia, the alliance between them was broken.
The three-way confrontation in the Dayue Dynasty in recent years has destroyed a lot of the foundation left by the previous emperor.
Chen Sixu allowed the Xiban people to be rampant. Now Dayue is in a weak position, like a piece of fat meat that everyone wants to swallow.
After Qiao Ruichen returned to Xining Town, he didn't tell Miao Wan, but he became increasingly busy. Even when the New Year was approaching, he was still running between the county town and Xining Town.
He went out early and came back late. Taotao was not awake before he left, and the children were all asleep when he came back. Taotao didn't see his father again until New Year's Eve.
So when Taotao, who was playing with Tiedan and the others, saw Qiao Ruichen on New Year's Eve, he suddenly froze. Then he staggered over with his chubby body, hugged Qiao Ruichen's legs and burst into tears.
"Daddy is bad! Woohoo...I miss daddy."
Qiao Ruichen was extremely distressed and picked up Taotao. The child started crying and couldn't wipe away his tears. "Dad was wrong. From now on, Dad will wait until you wake up before going out, okay?"
Taotao hugged him and said, "Wuwu, this is not good..."
Before Qiao Ruichen could continue to comfort him, Taotao started shouting again, "When Daddy is not around, no one wets the bed, no one farts, woooo... no one carries me away... Hiccup Mommy doesn't recognize me."
Qiao Ruichen: “…” I understand. I’m not at home, so no one will take the blame.
He hesitated and patted Taotao's back, "Did you get beaten?"
Taotao covered his buttocks and whimpered even more aggrievedly. Qiao Rui beside him fell over laughing, and Taotao choked out a sob, "You are so mean, you run so fast, you have such a big mouth, wuwu... Taotao is in pain."
Qiao Rui: "..." If I don't run, will I be crushed by the bed-wetting and farting pots? Do I, Miss Qiao, have no shame?
Qiao Ruichen was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. He coaxed Taotao for a long time, promised to let her eat delicious food at night, promised to take her to sleep with him, and made many unequal terms before he coaxed the little girl.
Qiao Rui was a little jealous. She waited until Taotao ran away to play with Tiedan and the others before she came out and hummed without saying anything. She knew that if her brother didn't coax her, she would go and cry to her sister-in-law.
Qiao Ruichen certainly couldn't give Qiao Xiaorui a chance to complain, so he smiled and patted Qiao Rui's head, "What are you humming? Where's your sister-in-law?"
Qiao Rui pouted, "You've already agreed to so many things, and you didn't even ask your sister-in-law if she agrees. What are you still looking for her for? You can just take Qiao Xiaoqian and sleep together!"
Qiao Ruichen looked at him with a look of "What are you talking about?" "Stop it, no matter how much I promise, it's useless if your sister-in-law doesn't agree. You also believe what I say to coax the child. How old are you?"
Qiao Rui: “…” Her brother has become bad, and she likes it, hehe…there will be a good show to watch later.
When Qiao Ruichen found his wife, he discovered that most of his study was occupied by her. She was leaning over the table, racking her brains to draw.
"Why don't you ask Xiaorui to draw for you?" Qiao Ruichen hugged his wife from behind, took a deep breath and asked softly.
Recently, he has been busy deploying armaments and defenses in various places. Miao Wan follows Taotao's schedule. He hasn't been able to hug his wife for a long time, and he doesn't have time to hug the cub as he promised.
Miao Wan sensed a familiar aura, but wasn't frightened. She only snorted softly, "Xiao Rui has such a big mouth. I'm going to ask her to help draw the picture. We'll know everything later."
Qiao Ruichen laughed. No wonder Taotao knew what big mouth meant. He probably heard it from his wife.
He kissed Miao Wan's ear and held her in his arms, "What do you want to draw? I'll help you."
"Okay, okay, I said you draw it." Miao Wan showed him the drawing she had been revising for a long time.
"The city wall won't be repaired until late spring. Before then, we need to set up more traps and pour pepper spray inside them so that no one can step in. No one will wander around near the city wall. Those who are there are all soldiers. They have agreed not to fall in."
"Anyone who falls in there will scream when they come into contact with the pepper spray, just to alert people.
I see the county governor has runners patrolling the streets, but we don't have any, so why not have the people from the West Camp patrol the city walls like they're out on patrol, and set up a few more sentry posts."
"I asked Master Gu to study the glass a while ago. He found that if the edges are ground thinner and the thickness in the middle is different, you can see far away. But it still needs to be adjusted. I feel a little dizzy now. Once the adjustment is completed, each sentry will be given one."
Miao Wan knew that the telescope was related to the magnifying glass. When she was in school, all the children knew the principle of the magnifying glass, which was to thin the edge of the lens. However, Miao Wan was not quite sure how to make a telescope, so she could only ask Master Gu to grind different thicknesses and slowly adjust it.
"Also, if a fight breaks out, we need a hospital... a pharmacy. I plan to hire a few doctors who are willing to teach others and train a few more apprentices who can bandage, so that the soldiers can feel more at ease."
"Also, when we're building the road, we should build a few more post stations in the countryside and on the way to the county town. If there are any bandits, we should definitely go and investigate. We can put drugs or poisons there and send people back with antidotes. Who knows, we might be able to catch a few of them."
…
Qiao Ruichen listened to Miao Wan pointing at the drawings bit by bit, and his eyes softened. "Awan, don't worry, I will definitely protect you and Taotao."
Miao Wan puffed her cheeks and poked him, "What's the point of protecting just the two of us? If Xining Town gets burned down by the Xiban people again, I'll be heartbroken!"
"Don't talk about death so easily." Qiao Ruichen's grip tightened. "I won't give them another chance to hurt you... and Xining Town."
Miao Wan nodded perfunctorily. She knew that her husband was good at martial arts, but no matter how powerful one person was, he could not be more powerful than a group of people. She was not the type to sit and wait for death.
Her hope of seeing "Miao Wan" when giving birth has passed, so she is still prepared to make some preparations within her ability.
She has already thought about her birthday wish this year. She just wants to ask God to give her a golden finger, even if it is a very, very small one.
Dad, this is my wish. I hope you can give me some help.
What Miao Wan didn't know was that while she was muttering to herself, someone suddenly sneezed in a series of sneeze in the wind and snow thousands of miles away.
"It's too cold! Speed up and hurry to the post station to take a hot bath, make some ginger soup, and get out of here as soon as possible!"
"Yes!" a group of tough and cold men said in unison.
The author has something to say:
Goldfinger: Report! I'm on my way! Don't rush me, don't rush me~
