The next morning, Li Lanzhen waited for Xuan Shen and his uncle in the dining room.
Li Lanzhen learned that Silver Fox's name was Xuan Shen, and that he was no longer afraid of outsiders knowing his name, so she told Silver Fox that from now on, she would call him Xuan Shen.
Silver Fox was very happy. He had already come to regard Li Lanzhen as family and called her Xuan Shen, which was very good.
Upon hearing about the vegetable greenhouses, Bai Houpu went to the greenhouse vegetable planting area early in the morning.
After going around in circles, they came out marveling at what they had seen.
“Xuanshen, your Aunt Lanzhen is indeed an extraordinary woman!”
How could someone come up with such a brilliant idea! To be able to grow so many fresh vegetables even in winter!
Moreover, as Brother Zhang just mentioned, the yield of sweet potatoes and potatoes can reach 5,000 jin per mu!
This is absolutely incredible!!
If this could be planted on a large scale, people wouldn't have to go hungry!
Three years of natural disasters and man-made calamities, war and chaos—how many people starved to death!
Xuan Shen proudly continued, "Yes, Uncle, Aunt Lanzhen is a woman with a strong sense of righteousness."
I'll tell you the details after I bring my cousin and the others back.
After Li Lanzhen and the others had breakfast, Xue Nizi led the kitchen staff to prepare two baskets of wild vegetable pancakes for them.
Han Shunde instructed the kitchen staff to pack a bag of dark flour and a bag of cornmeal for Li Lanzhen and the others.
They were afraid that there would be no food when they arrived at the village, and that they would go hungry on their way back.
Being hungry is the worst thing.
There's no shortage of food in Peach Blossom Spring now, so we can't let Li Lanzhen go hungry.
That's why so much food was prepared for them.
Upon hearing Han Shunde's words, Bai Houpu's eyes reddened slightly, and he clasped his hands in a fist and bow, saying, "Thank you, Village Chief Han."
Xue Bao and Han Mingjiang must go with Li Lanzhen to protect her.
Later, Li Lanzhen dissuaded them, saying that after they left, the security tasks in Peach Blossom Spring would be very heavy, and the construction of greenhouses would continue, which was the most important thing at the moment.
We're already short-handed, so let them stay here and focus on their own tasks.
Chang Fu wanted to go too, but Li Lanzhen tried to dissuade him repeatedly, and he refused.
He said that the journey was long and that he could protect her if he went.
Later, he couldn't refuse him, so he brought Chang'an with him.
They saw that they were all unhappy that Li Lanzhen wouldn't let them follow, and even wanted to argue.
Li Lanzhen glared at him. "Alright, Changfu, you stay in Peach Blossom Spring and work hard. I'll take Chang'an with me."
Li Lanzhen thought it was a good idea. The journey was long, and it would be convenient to take a girl from Chang'an out to broaden her horizons.
Since Chang Fu and his four companions brought them here, they have gradually integrated into the community of Peach Blossom Spring.
The inner demons gradually subsided, and smiles slowly returned to the faces of the two girls.
Li Lanzhen saw their changes and was delighted.
These are all teenagers, boys and girls, who have been subjected to inhumane treatment. If they become immersed in it and can't get out, they will torment themselves for the rest of their lives!
At this moment, Li Erhan and Ye Shi saw that their daughter was about to go out again, and they couldn't hide the heartache in their eyes.
Madam Ye handed her a small bundle, saying, "My dear daughter, when you're out there, you must control your temper, don't cause trouble, and come back safely so that your mother and father won't worry."
These are ten eggs that your mother cooked for you; take them with you on your journey.
Li Erhan also said, "Girl, don't go hungry. We have plenty of food. Don't starve."
Li Lanzhen held the bundle tightly.
No one has ever loved her like this in her past life!
Now that her parents are so loving, she couldn't hold back her tears again.
She pretended to lean on Ye's arm and quickly wiped away her tears.
He smiled and said to them.
"Mom, thank you. I will take good care of myself. You and Dad should also take care of yourselves."
Don't do the heavy or tiring work; leave it to the younger generation.
"I'll go buy you two servants tomorrow to cook for you and help you with chores, so you can both get some rest."
Originally, Li Erhan and Ye Shi were still feeling sorry for their daughter having to go out and work hard again.
Upon hearing her words, Li Erhan's eyes widened.
"What nonsense are you spouting, woman! We're just farmers who make a living from the land, why would we need servants!"
"We won't use it even if you buy it; you can use it yourself!"
After saying that, he walked away with his hands behind his back.
When Li Lanzhen saw that they were angry, she spoke loudly.
"Alright, Father, Mother, don't be angry anymore. I won't buy you any more servants."
Those around them burst into laughter when they saw Li Lanzhen, who was usually decisive and efficient, acting like a child in front of her parents, acting cute and being scolded by them.
Li Lanzhen was a little embarrassed and coughed lightly twice before speaking.
"Xuanshen, let's go. The sooner we go, the sooner we'll come back. There's still a lot to do in Peach Blossom Spring!"
When their boat sailed out of Peach Blossom Spring, the sun had not yet risen over the eastern mountain.
When we arrived at Moon Bay Pier, the sun had just risen.
Li Lanzhen asked Bai Houpu, "Mr. Bai, can we reach the mountain village you mentioned by rowing?"
Bai Houpu frowned and shook his head.
"That small mountain village is not on either side of this river."
Heading south from Youzhou City, we came to a large mountain to the south.
To avoid our enemies, and fearing that living too close to Youzhou City would allow them to discover Xuan Shen and her brother, we fled quite far away.
Xuan Shen thought to herself, "Many people have suffered and even lost their lives because of them and their siblings."
Li Lanzhen sighed inwardly.
This is what family is all about. For the safety of the siblings, relatives will stay far away from them, even if it means enduring hardship and suffering, leaving their safety to the siblings and taking the danger and difficulties upon themselves.
Hua Zixi's expression grew even more serious.
When I first met Bai Houpu and his son after settling down.
He then asked them to come to Youzhou City, where he would settle them in a manor outside the city.
However, they persisted in their approach.
They said that only in this way could the Scrophularia siblings live a good life.
Worried that they might not have enough food, we would let them take a lot of food with them every time we came.
However, Bai Houpu resolutely refused to tell Hua Zixi the exact location of their mountain village.
They also forbade Hua Zixi and his men from sending people over to deliver grain.
Hua Zixi said, "Let's go to the restaurant. I've prepared a carriage. You can take the carriage there."
That way, the elderly and children can ride in the carriage on their way back.
Bai Houpu thought that this would work too.
The youngest daughter-in-law and granddaughter-in-law are both pregnant and feeling unwell after the long journey, so they can ride in a horse-drawn carriage.
However, there's a section of the road that carriages can't go through; we'll deal with that later.
He nodded and said, "Okay, thank you very much, Zixi."
Upon arriving at the restaurant, we went directly to the backyard, where three carriages and three horses were parked.
A short while later, the waiter and two attendants came over, each carrying two food boxes.
The waiter went to Manager Hua and told him that everything was ready.
Then I met Silver Fox and Bai Houpu.
Turning around, he saw Li Lanzhen standing next to him and immediately greeted her with a smile.
"Auntie, you've arrived! Have you had breakfast yet?"
Li Lanzhen smiled and said, "We've already eaten; we all had breakfast this morning."
"This is lunch that our manager ordered to be prepared for you."
As he spoke, he raised the food box in his hand.
"Thank you so much for preparing food for us so thoughtfully."
Li Lanzhen and Chang An rode in one carriage, Xuan Shen and Bai Houpu rode in another carriage, and another carriage carrying goods followed behind. Three horses carried three attendants.
They rode at full speed, exiting from the south gate of Youzhou City and heading south.
