Chapter 212 Holiday
"Yes, we started planting as soon as the weather got a little better. We're determined to have a good harvest this year. We also planted sweet potatoes. Who knew, the leaves are edible too."
"Yes, we use half of our land to grow corn and half to grow sweet potatoes. We also keep a plot of land for sweet potato leaves to eat. Those sweet potato leaves are delicious and they grow very fast."
Ji Yingying was happy; it was all thanks to her!
"Come on, put your fertilizer here, I'll help you carry it over. Tell me where the land is?" Ji Yingying planned to go and take a look.
"This...Miss, am I disturbing you?"
"No, no, it's a small problem. I was just resting anyway." Ji Yingying told them to put the two loads of fertilizer on the back seat, where the carrying pole fit perfectly.
The fertilizer was also dry, and I secretly took out a few garbage bags from my spatial storage and covered it directly.
Only then did they ask where the land was and help them deliver it to the land.
The two men picking up fertilizer were shocked. Good heavens, whose immortal's mount is this?
They're moving so fast! I heard bicycles have appeared in the city. Could this be a bicycle? It's a pity they're so expensive. Otherwise, they could buy one and use it to carry fertilizer to the fields, saving them labor.
When they arrived at the field, Ji Yingying was still quite young and couldn't put the fertilizer down, so she had to wait for someone to come over.
Thankfully, the people arrived quickly.
After putting down the fertilizer, Ji Yingying went down to the field with them again.
[Host, you were supposed to be writing about court life, how did it turn into farming?]
No, I'm following my own path, Ji Yingying's path. When I'm happy, I can be any path. I, Ji Yingying, never define myself!
Indeed, you are very noble!
I went down to the field and saw that the corn had indeed formed ears, and the sweet potato leaves were also growing very well.
Ji Yingying helped pull some grass and then went back with them. The two were a father and son who hadn't separated their households yet, and their family was a large one.
They brought back a little girl, who was dressed so nicely.
He couldn't help but have thieving thoughts.
They just don't have the guts to be thieves.
When Ji Yingying saw such a large family at dinner that evening, she was also shocked!
However, it was only for a moment; I wasn't too shocked. After all, this is the fate of the poor!
Wow, there are so many people!
The old man introduced them: "Miss, this is my wife, this is my eldest son, eldest son and daughter-in-law, second son, second son and daughter-in-law, third son, third son and daughter-in-law, fourth son, fifth son, and these are my grandsons and granddaughters."
"Wow, your house is so lively!"
The eldest son has three sons and one daughter; the second son has two sons and two daughters; the third son has one son and two daughters; the fourth son and the fifth son look about the same age as the eldest grandson.
"Yes, it's more lively at home!"
"It's more than just lively, it's so crowded it's giving me a headache." Xiangxiang grumbled, then added, "Host, be careful, I sense that old woman's ill intentions."
"It's nothing. They just want me to be their wife. Their fourth and fifth sons are only fifteen, sixteen, seventeen, or eighteen years old. They're still young. If they get me, they won't be so poor anymore."
Since you know that, why don't you leave?
Don't worry, I'm not brave enough yet, and I don't plan to stay there. Don't forget, we stayed in a cave during this time.
I stayed overnight in a cave to watch the sunrise, and thankfully I was able to get up and watch it.
Otherwise, you'll miss out.
"Miss, my family is poor and we don't have much good food. Please make do with what we have."
"It's okay, it's okay, you guys eat, I'm not hungry." Ji Yingying didn't intend to eat either, and the way the group of people were swallowing their saliva showed that they didn't really want to eat either.
"Miss, let's eat." As soon as the old man spoke, the group of people shoveled the meat into their bowls like starving ghosts.
The speed was comparable to that of the old ladies who went to banquets in my previous life. One dish was served and then disappeared. Once all the dishes were served, the bowls and takeout bags were full.
The old man was a little embarrassed and was about to speak to Ji Yingying when he saw her looking at him with amusement, as if she were watching a show. So he didn't say anything.
Ji Yingying didn't eat a single bite of dinner. After everyone had finished eating, Ji Yingying smiled, put down her chopsticks, chatted with the old man for a few more minutes, and then went out to look at the moon.
The moon in ancient times was kind to people!
The old man has a large family but few houses, so Ji Yingying doesn't plan to live here.
Just as the old man was starting to worry, his wife suggested that he sleep in the fifth son's room, which would be a good opportunity for the fifth son to find a wife.
The old man was initially unwilling, thinking the young woman was clearly from the city and had a bicycle. However, after his wife brainwashed him, he gradually agreed.
Just as he was about to go out to talk to Ji Yingying, the carriage arrived. It was the county magistrate's carriage, brought by the village chief.
When the old man and his family heard that the county magistrate had arrived, they didn't dare to utter a sound.
She knelt down tremblingly, but to her surprise, the county magistrate also knelt down, kneeling before Ji Yingying's interview.
"Your Highness, I greet you. May Your Highness enjoy boundless blessings and peace."
"Wait, how did you find me?"
When Ji Yingying heard that the magistrate was coming, she was about to run away when the magistrate blocked her way.
"It's a message from Lord Rong, saying that your vacation is over and he has asked me to escort you back to the capital."
"Rong Yi, or Rong Er?"
"This... I don't know either. This is a note I received." The magistrate presented the note, and Ji Yingying opened it to read.
"Rong Er"
With an angry voice, Rong Er immediately appeared in front of Ji Yingying.
"The letter you delivered?"
"No, it's Lord Rongyi."
Ji Yingying frowned. She wasn't planning to go back and intended to continue having fun, but what happened? There were still a few days left in her holiday, and they came to catch her. What kind of nonsense was this?
"Well, I'm not planning to go back. My vacation isn't over yet; it's only been two days. I want to keep exploring."
"Your Highness, His Majesty says that you only have three days left of your vacation."
"What?" Ji Yingying exclaimed. How come she only had three days left on her vacation? She felt like she hadn't done anything. At most, she watched the sunrise and sunset and looked at the sea. That was nothing!
Ji Yingying wanted to curse the author after the holiday lasted less than two chapters!
Perhaps because her voice had become much louder, the old man and his family were all frightened.
Thinking about what they were planning to do tonight, if the princess found out, would their family still be able to survive? So the few who knew about it were all trembling with fear.
"Um, Rong Er, go back and send a message saying I'll be back a little later."
"Yes," Rong Er replied. After Ji Yingying left, the magistrate immediately said, "Your Highness, the residence is ready. Please come back with me to rest."
“Alright!” Ji Yingying agreed, then turned to the old man and said, “I’m leaving now. You all take good care of your crops.” Ji Yingying then asked the magistrate for a few taels of silver.
This family isn't very good at calculating, so she doesn't plan to give them much.
