"Yan Yan, what are your plans for today?"
Gu Qian thought that with the New Year approaching, Qiu Yan must have a lot of things to do.
"Let's go to the village chief's house." Qiu Yan wanted to ask Aunt Wang if she had time to help make a few quilts.
After Qiu Yan finished speaking, she handed the prepared herbs to Gu Qian and asked him to go to the Li family again.
Gu Qian took the herbs and went to find Ling Qi and Ling Ba.
Upon seeing Gu Qian, Ling Qi and the other person stopped chopping wood, feeling vaguely uneasy.
What kind of mission will they be assigned this time?
They preferred fighting on the battlefield to farm work.
Ling Qi: "General... what brings you here?"
Ling Ba: "But we don't have enough firewood?"
Gu Qian looked up at the new house next door.
"Go and start a fire."
"Start a fire?" The general and Miss Qiu Yan are truly a match made in heaven.
Ling Qi silently took a step back; he really disliked lighting a fire in a farmhouse stove.
"Yes!" Ling Ba replied respectfully, standing upright and behaving properly.
After saying that, he pulled Ling Qi and prepared to go to the neighboring courtyard.
"Come back!" The two had only taken a few steps when they stopped and turned back at Gu Qian's words.
Ling Qi: "Is there anything else you need?"
Gu Qian: "No matter what method you use, you must persuade my master and mistress to move out of the old house and into the new house."
He delegated tasks he couldn't handle to two subordinates.
"Huh?" The two of them stiffened slightly, instinctively wanting to refuse.
Thinking of Li Zheng's stern face, Ling Qi instinctively shook his head, "Your subordinate..."
If even the general couldn't do it, wouldn't it be even more difficult for them?
Gu Qian: "Hurry up and go!"
Ling Ba clasped his hands in a fist salute: "Yes!"
No matter how difficult the task, they must obey orders.
The general's intimidating presence was too much for them to refuse.
With a bitter face, Ling Qi and Ling Ba carried some straw and firewood to the new house next door.
When Qiu Yan arrived at the village chief's house, she brought two jars of fine wine, along with some pastries, as usual.
Hearing the sound of the gate opening, Wang saw Qiu Yan approaching through the window. Her face lit up with joy, and she hurriedly went out to greet her.
“It’s Xiaoyan back… Sigh, why are you bringing things over again…” Wang knew that Qiu Yan was a grateful person.
Qiu Yan had no relation to them, yet she always thought about them.
After she finished speaking, she led Qiu Yan into the house.
"It's nothing." Qiu Yan entered the room, sat down, and placed her things on the table.
Inevitably, Wang asked some questions about Zhao Yuanyuan.
"How is Yuanyuan doing these days? When will she be back?"
Ever since her daughter went to work as an embroiderer in a clothing shop, she has become the focus of the entire village.
After all, in this remote mountain village, besides Qiu Yan, the only other girl who went out to earn money was Zhao Yuanyuan.
Qiu Yan replied, "Yuanyuan has learned a lot of embroidery recently and can already handle things on her own. She will come back with my uncle in a few days."
Her daughter was truly extraordinary. Thinking this, Wang felt even more delighted.
She seemed somewhat displeased when Qiu Dayu was mentioned.
Firstly, because Qiu Dayu was the son of the Yang family, people disliked him because of his family's reputation. Secondly, he had a bad reputation.
However, since Qiu Dayu had already repaid part of the money he borrowed from his family and had been doing well in recent months, Wang's attitude changed somewhat.
"Thanks to you, Yuanyuan was able to work as an embroiderer in the clothing shop."
When Wang thought about how her daughter had given her a full tael of silver when she last returned home, more than her son had given her, she couldn't be happier.
"It's just a small favor, nothing to mention," Qiu Yan said, then stated the purpose of her visit.
"Aunt Wang, I've come today to ask you to make two sets of bedding." There are three more men in the house now, and my second uncle hasn't returned yet, so we clearly don't have enough blankets.
