Not long after, Shen Ningsi also walked out of the room dressed neatly.
The expression on his face was no longer as restrained as it was at the beginning. Looking at the three people playing with each other in the yard, a smile couldn't help but appear on the corner of his mouth.
"Mom, Daddy is riding a big horse with my sister on his back!"
Kang Kang walked over at this time with envy in his eyes.
Even though he is more mature than other children of the same age, he is still just a child and will envy others.
"How about mother taking you to make something delicious?" Shen Ningsi showed a bright smile on her face.
This kid, Kang Kang, has loved the food that Shen Ningsi makes for him ever since he was old enough to eat supplementary food.
Hearing her say this, Kang Kang's eyes lit up instantly. Even though they had just finished breakfast not long ago, he couldn't wait to pull Shen Ningsi towards the kitchen.
You know, he hasn't eaten the food cooked by his mother for a long time. Now the cooking at home is done by Liu and her daughter.
Looking at the impatient expression on her son's face, Shen Ningsi couldn't help but laugh, and then the mother and son walked towards the kitchen one after the other.
When Shen Ningsi just walked to the corner, he saw Fang Xiwan looking at him with a smile on her face.
A hint of nervousness appeared on his face involuntarily.
"Sisi, what happened before was all Hong'er's fault. Now that you've forgiven him, I'm happy for you. If he dares to bully you again, just come find me. I'll beat him to a pulp!"
After Fang Xiwan finished speaking, she raised the long whip in her sleeve, as if she wanted to prove something to Shen Ningsi.
Gu Hong, who was playing with An An, suddenly felt a chill on his back, but when he turned around, he found nothing. Then he continued to play the game with An An without distraction.
As for the soldiers in the camp waiting for him to train, he had already put them all out of his mind at this moment.
In this way, the days passed quickly and soon it was the end of the year.
It was also Shen Ningsi's busiest day, because villagers from various villages all spontaneously brought their belongings to Wanning Village.
One family carried a basket of eggs, another carried a basket of duck eggs, and there were also peanuts, melon seeds, and some families even went to the town specifically to buy some candies that they couldn't bear to eat at home.
At this time, everyone gathered at the gate of Shen Ningsi's courtyard, and no one was willing to leave.
When Shen Ningsi was observing the winter wheat in the field, he heard Hui Niang talking about this matter and hurried back.
"County Lady, you're finally back! These are the delicious eggshells our chickens laid!"
"And me! And me! These are the sunflowers our family planted this year. Each of these seeds is very plump. Our whole family carefully selected them!"
As soon as Shen Ningsi showed her head, the villagers surrounded her, and everyone had an excited expression on their face.
"No, no, we finally have a few days of good life. These things are grown with great effort at home. Take them back quickly. We have everything we need!"
After Shen Ningsi finished speaking, he waved his hands hurriedly, but those people still had no intention of letting go.
"County Lady, these are all gifts from ordinary people like us. If it weren't for you, even if we didn't all starve to death, there would definitely be only a few people left in our family. We wouldn't be able to celebrate the New Year together like we do now without going hungry!"
The eyes of these villagers looking at Shen Ningsi were full of gratitude. They were all a group of people who knew how to be grateful.
And because Shen Ningsi was a woman, every household sent women. If there were no women or it was inconvenient for them to come, the men would stand not far away, watching the scene with excitement, and no one came forward.
Shen Ningsi also knew that these people were sincere, and if he rejected them all, they would definitely feel uncomfortable.
"How about this, all of you gather here. I don't know who sent these things, so why don't you go into the yard and have a cup of tea first?"
Shen Ningsi said with a smile on his face.
"Then listen more to the county master."
Hearing that Shen Ningsi did not refuse, the villagers all showed happy expressions, and then they stopped pushing and shoving, but walked into the yard one after another.
When they arrived at the yard, they found that the county lord, whom they had always thought was high and mighty, lived a life similar to theirs, and there was no luxury in her house.
In an instant, I had a better impression of Shen Ningsi.
At that time, Shen Ningsi had asked the servants at home to bring a long table and stools to sit there.
There was also a dustpan of red paper bags next to it.
At that time, she was holding an account book in her hand and sitting there quietly.
"Aren't you going to give me some eggs, ma'am? Hurry and bring them over so I can write them down!"
Shen Ningsi said kindly to an old lady carrying eggs.
"County Lady, these are all given to you by us, why do you have to keep a record of them?" The old lady showed a look of dissatisfaction on her face, but she still walked over and put the eggs down.
But he was unwilling to tell which village he was from.
"Auntie, I know you sent these things to thank me, but isn't it also for me? Your actions are a validation of me!"
"You all can remember me, so why can't I remember you? If you don't want to talk, then take your things back!"
After Shen Ningsi finished speaking, he slightly restrained the smile on his face.
The villagers didn't expect that the county lady was actually unhappy, but everyone could understand what she was thinking. Then the old lady slowly told them her address.
Only then did Shen Ningsi take the egg from her hand with a smile on his face.
"Auntie, the New Year is coming soon. This is the New Year's money I gave to your children. Please don't think it's too little!"
After Shen Ningsi finished speaking, he casually took out a red paper bag from the side and handed it to the aunt.
When the old lady saw this, she refused to accept the red paper envelope no matter what.
"Auntie, this isn't just for you. Other villagers will have it too. This is the first year, and everyone's life will get better and better. Consider this my blessing for your children!"
Shen Ningsi's mouth is still very sweet, and she knows what these people like to hear, so she says nice words as if they are free.
When the old lady heard her say this, a look of interest became apparent on her face.
"Hurry up and take it, there are many villagers waiting to give me things!" Hearing Shen Ningsi say this, Daliang turned around and looked back involuntarily, then left with the red envelope with a grateful look on his face.
