Ding Youtian smiled and said, "I didn't say you were anxious, I was talking about wheat."
"Xiaomai still has to go back to the Northland military camp, and Feng'er is still young, so let's wait another year." Previously, the Wu team was still there, and they were anxious to arrange their marriage. Jian Ning thought that now that the Wu team had gone back there, and Qiaofeng had no parents, she naturally wanted to send her off to marriage in person.
Thinking of Wu Dui, who was now preparing meals in the kitchen, Jian Ning couldn't help but recall that Ding Youtian had appointed her as the General of the Kitchen. He said something bad, but insisted that there were only two households that received the fief, one was Wu Dui and the other was Huo Jincheng, and he also said that these two were wealthy families. Now, both of them are gone, and it's all Ding Youtian's fault!
After Qiaofeng and Da Niu took the basins to the well in the backyard to wash the vegetables, Jian Ning shot Ding Youtian on the forehead while he was sitting on a small stool preparing to light a fire. The sound was so sharp that he rubbed his forehead in pain and glared at her, saying, "What's wrong? Did I spoil you? You dare to hit General Zuo's forehead at will? Give me a reason, otherwise I..."
Jane Ning grabbed the spatula and asked, "How are you?"
"What do you want to do?" Ding Youtian asked back.
"Smash your dog head!" Jane Ning raised his arm.
Ding Youtian touched his nose, his narrow eyes squinting at the spatula in her hand, his face calm and his heart unbeating. "What can I do? Just like a soldier farted."
"You're smart!" Jian Ning put down the spatula and was slapped on the butt by Ding Youtian. "I just let it slip, and you treated it as a fart by the wife of this soldier! Haha."
Erniu and Sanniu ran in holding hands. When they heard the word "fart", they pinched their noses. Erniu even shook off Sanniu's hand and fanned it with her hand.
"A loud fart doesn't smell bad, why are you covering your noses?" Ding Youtian pointed the fire stick at them and said, "Study hard tomorrow."
Erniu and Sanniu came just for this matter. "Tomorrow is a day off. The teacher has to go to the city gate to send the army out of the city. My sister and I don't need to go!" Erniu told him loudly.
Ding Youtian: "Then study in the room."
Sanniu: "Ah?"
All the shops on the street outside were decorated with lights and colors, preparing for the farewell to the army tomorrow. There were also performances such as dragon and lion dances and stilt walking. The two men came back and walked around the street before entering the government office. They met their classmates and learned that Master Xiu Mu was going to the city gate to see off the army tomorrow. They ran back excitedly but had a basin of cold water poured on their heads.
The two little faces were smashed.
Erniu pouted and looked at Jian Ning pitifully, "Mom!"
Jian Ning picked up the kitchen knife and chopped the ribs without turning his head. "Don't call me. Mom takes care of your food and drink, and Dad takes care of your studies. Now that the war is over, it's time for you two to concentrate on your studies."
"Then can't brothers and sisters go out tomorrow?" Erniu finished speaking. Ding Youtian grabbed the fire poker and tried to stand up. Erniu was so scared that she dragged Sanniu and ran away. She could hear her father yelling behind her, "You can't stop biting people. If you do that again, I'll break both your legs."
"Luckily I pulled you out. If you had been a step slower we would have both been beaten." Sanniu didn't buy what Erniu said. "Daddy wanted to beat you, but I didn't bite you." Erniu shook off Sanniu's hand and said angrily, "Didn't we agree to share the hardship?"
Sanniu did say she would share her hardships, but that was when they were fighting on the battlefield. However, Sanniu didn't want to argue with her because she was filled with disappointment. She sighed and said, "I really want to grow up quickly."
"Why?" Erniu asked.
"When we grow up, finish our studies, and master our martial arts, Daddy won't be controlling us every day anymore."
Erniu thought about it and realized, "Mom won't control us. We can go wherever we want. Sister, do you have any place you want to go? Where shall we go to play then?"
"I'm still young, so I don't know. I'll tell you when I grow up." Sanniu said, then exclaimed, "Listen, it seems like Brother Xiaomai is playing with a whip. Let's go and take a look."
She pulled Erniu and ran to the front side yard following the sound. Looking up, she saw Ma Xiaomai dancing with a nine-section whip on the roof. Qiuge, Guoguo Baimei and four silver foxes were all watching on the roof.
"I want to go up too, Brother Qiu, Brother Qiu!" Erniu jumped up and down, calling Brother Qiu. Ma Xiaomai heard her shouting, put away the whip, and lightly jumped down from the roof. "What are you two doing?"
He asked with a dark face.
"Brother Xiaomai, you seem unhappy." Sanniu noticed that he was in a low mood. "Did you have a quarrel with Sister Qiaofeng?"
"No, I miss my dad!" Ma Xiaomai walked to the porch and sat down dejectedly. The war was over, and his father was gone. He thought about how sad his mother would be when he went back, so he became sad too.
"Oh, uncle has been recuperating in Jin County for a long time. Is he not fully recovered yet?" Erniu only remembered that Ma Fuquan had been gone for a long time when she heard him mention his father.
Jian Ning had never announced the matter of Ma Fuquan to the public. Apart from Ma Xiaomai, only the deceased Huo Jincheng knew about it. Prince Pingnan and the people of Wuyi Camp thought that he was still recuperating in Jin County, and the position of admiral had always been held by the deputy admiral. Erniu and Sanniu naturally didn't know about it either.
"My father... forget it, I'll go find my master." Ma Xiaomai picked up the whip and went to the kitchen. When he went in, he saw Jian Ning busy. He turned around and came out without saying a word.
Ding Youtian gave Jian Ning a look. Looking at Ma Xiaomai's expression, he guessed that it was about his father. He and Jian Ning had already discussed this matter. They would report it to King Pingnan tomorrow and say that they only found out when they returned to the county government office that a letter had been sent from Jin County. Ma Fuquan and Jian Ning went to support the north that night, and they were infected with some chronic poison and became a living dead.
I have no choice but to say this, otherwise if Wu Tuan comes back one day, it will be difficult to announce his death now.
The two mothers in the palace were helping to cut and prepare the vegetables. Jian Ning was only responsible for cooking, while Qiao Feng and Da Niu were in charge of lighting the fire. Jian Ning raised her chin towards Ding Youtian. He understood and came out to find Ma Xiaomai. He called him to his room and told him the result of his discussion with Jian Ning.
