Ya Ya looked at Lin Zao with tears streaming down her face, seemingly understanding but not quite.
Lin Zao sighed, "Ya Ya, don't worry, your father will be back soon!"
Perhaps knowing that things couldn't be changed and that her father couldn't come back now, Ya Ya was sensible and didn't cry or make a fuss. She just clung to Lin Zao, wanting her to hold her and not wanting to get down.
Seeing that the little rascal was alright, Lin Zao quickly looked at Hu Tou beside her.
She was worried that Tiger Head would cry and make a fuss, but to her surprise, the boy acted as if nothing had happened and was eating his breakfast heartily.
Lin Zao was immediately filled with questions.
She asked tentatively, "Tiger Head, don't you miss your father?"
Tiger Head, his mouth full of food, replied as he ate:
"I want to eat more and grow up quickly so I can be a great general like my father and ride a big horse!"
Ma Qingping, who was sitting next to him, was initially disappointed by Tang Jian's departure, but upon hearing Hu Tou's words, he actually nodded in agreement and picked up his chopsticks to eat heartily.
Unlike Chen Wen, Ma Qingping has always been very quiet since we met, mostly remaining silent.
She is very attached to Chen Wen and follows him everywhere.
Despite this, he is no less protective of Hu Tou and Ya Ya than Chen Wen Shao. On the contrary, for some reason, he is more protective of the twins and trusts Hu Tou's words very much.
So when he heard Tiger Head say that, he believed him and started wolfing down the food with Tiger Head.
Seeing this, Lin Zao and Tang's mother instantly forgot their worries about Tang Jian's departure and couldn't help but chuckle. They didn't stop the two children.
That's good, it saves them from overthinking.
Chen Wen, on the other hand, was quite composed. Hearing Lin Zao's words, he simply nodded thoughtfully. Although he was also somewhat worried, he knew that this was not something he could solve.
He knew that only by becoming stronger could he help his family.
The family accepted the reality of Tang Jian's departure.
Everyone has their own things to do.
Tiger Head and Ya Ya resumed attending classes at the Prince's Mansion.
Before Tang Jian left, the tutors that he had asked Steward Wu to find for Chen Wen, Ma Qingping, and He Lin and his sister all came to the General's Mansion.
The four children also began to study under the new teacher.
With the children all busy with their own things to do, Lin Zao also started getting busy.
First of all, the fruits and vegetables she planted in the plantation are about to ripen, including tomatoes, watermelons, and cantaloupes.
She was about to begin harvesting and storing the fruit.
The corn and wild geese they planted on the estate before leaving Yaozhou are almost ready for harvest, and she needs to oversee all of these matters.
Tang Jian took away his two good helpers, Sun Ding and Tian Bu'er, leaving only Eleven.
Eleven is just a person with no expression and doesn't like to talk. He can protect people, but he's unreliable when it comes to doing things. She has to do everything herself.
Lin Zao was so busy that she didn't have time to think about Tang Jian.
Only in the dead of night would she miss Tang Jian's warm embrace and his cool, refreshing scent.
I did receive several letters from Tang Jian.
The letter said that he had led his troops to produce a lot of elm seed powder, and that King Cheng had also sent a batch of elm seed powder, so their food supplies were already very plentiful.
The letter said that a new marshal had been appointed in Wuyi, and that the marshal who led the troops to attack them this time was that marshal.
Unfortunately, in a single encounter, Tang Jian's troops routed them, forcing them to retreat back to the city to regroup. They were fortunate to have the Lady's help; otherwise, they wouldn't have needed the sharp steel blades and the iron hooves of their horses.
The letter said that the elite troops he had trained had already shown initial results, and that in this battle, these soldiers were incredibly brave, capable of taking on ten opponents at once.
The letter also mentioned missing his family, especially his wife...
