They stayed there until the following summer.
There was really no other way. It was not suitable to travel after it snowed, it was not suitable to travel when the snow was melting, and it was even more unsuitable to travel when it was freezing. So the cycle of snowing, melting, and freezing continued endlessly until the following summer.
Here, there isn't even spring; winter ends and summer begins, saving you a whole season's worth of clothes.
Upon arriving at the border town, Lin Chaoxi, the second son who had received the news, was already waiting at the city gate. Seeing his mother's exhausted appearance, he felt extremely distressed.
"mother!"
Lin Chaoxi, who was not good with words, could only express his myriad emotions in a single call.
"Why!"
Upon seeing her son, Yue Jiuyue was finally able to relax after a long journey filled with anxiety. Tears welled up in her eyes as she rejoiced at finally arriving at her destination, having avoided an accident along the way.
The mother and son went to the courtyard that Lin Chaoxi had arranged for them. After Yue Jiuyue washed up, she had a meal with her son and talked for a while before going back to her room to rest. Lin Chaoxi also returned to the military camp.
After resting for a few days, and with all the fatigue gone, she began to prepare for farming.
In fact, Lin Chaoxi had already started the large-scale land reclamation project with his soldiers after returning to the border town. However, the cold weather had frozen the soil solid, doubling the difficulty of land reclamation.
Fearing the soldiers would freeze, the land reclamation operation was later cancelled, and they would resume it when the winter snow melted. Now it's summer, and many crops have been planted, but it's unknown what the final harvest will be.
Although Lin Chaoxi didn't know what use Yue Jiuyue's arrival was, he couldn't very well send her away. Moreover, the many seeds and medicinal herbs his mother brought were needed in the border town. Whether it was her status as a son or a young general of the border town, he was deeply moved by his mother's arrival.
After recovering, Yue Jiuyue didn't rest. She asked her son for a piece of land and then worked tirelessly with several servants every day. They planted everything they could, including corn, sweet potatoes, potatoes, and cotton. They even turned the area along the wall of the yard into a vegetable garden, where they planted cabbage, radishes, pumpkins, and green beans.
Cotton, in particular, is what Yue Jiuyue planted the most!
Because the winters here are too long, and she found that most of the crops in the fields were various grains, she focused on cotton.
Because she has a shopping mall where she can buy all kinds of fertilizers and pesticides, her fields have become the most beautiful in the entire countryside, and she has the biggest harvest in the fall! This has led to neighbors coming to her to discuss farming skills, hoping that they can also have a bumper harvest next year.
This actually made Yue Jiuyue's relationship with the residents of the small town even more harmonious.
In the past, her neighbors had a good relationship with her, but that was only because she had a son who was an official.
Now, it can be said that all of this is thanks to Yue Jiuyue's own efforts and her own reputation.
Yue Jiuyue thought it was pretty good here. Interpersonal relationships were much simpler than at home. The only downside was that the winters here were too cold!
Nestled on the newly built heated kang, Yue Jiuyue was still planning what to do next year, but she didn't expect that the winter here would be even colder than she had felt on her way here. Even on a sunny day, she felt frozen to the bone the moment she stepped out of the house, and she developed a fever that very night.
She mustered her strength and packed all her belongings into a large wooden box, intending to hand it over to her son when he came to visit, but she never got to see that moment.
Before her consciousness faded, she suddenly remembered that she hadn't used up all her points!
