Ji Fengyi got out of the car and saluted: "Brother Deng, it's me!"
When Old Deng saw Ji Fengyi's appearance, he showed a hint of surprise: "It's Mr. Ji! I didn't recognize you just now. Please come in!"
He hurriedly unbolted the door, removed the door panel, opened the door, and warmly invited Ji Fengshou and the others in.
Ji Fengyi looked at him with a smile: "It's been a few days since we last met. Are you feeling well?"
Old Deng pounded his chest with his fists, "I'm in good health! Thank you for your concern, Mr. Ji. Have you finished your family affairs?"
Ji Fengyi's smile deepened. "I had a lot of trivial matters at home, so I was delayed for a few days. This time I came to officially start my duty."
"Okay, okay!" Old Deng nodded with a smile.
Seeing Ji Mingxuan and the other younger generations standing in a row, looking up at the door, each one of them looking so handsome, he couldn't help but praise them, "Are these the children of the family?"
Seeing Ji Fengshou drive the ox cart inside, Ji Fengyi smiled and said, "Yes, these two will study here with me in the future."
Old Deng couldn't help but reveal a look of envy on his face.
After living on the border for many years, people say that killing the enemy in the battlefield is a real skill!
But for a veteran like him who retired from the battlefield and worked as a gatekeeper at the county school for several years, studying is really a good way out!
Who says that people can only stay in the border area for their entire lives?
If I could study abroad, wouldn't places like Kyoto be better than the border areas? There's no fighting and life is stable.
If he could achieve some academic results, wouldn't his future be better than that of a military general?
It’s a pity that no one in the family has this awareness.
But think about it, their family is full of rough people, unlike other people's family who are all educated. Given their family's situation, even if they sell everything they have, they probably won't be able to make any difference in education.
Thinking of this, Old Deng felt relieved again.
Ji Fengyi took Ji Mingxuan, Ji Changchuan and Ji Fengshou inside, and the others could only stand under the eaves outside and wait.
Because there were luggage and daily necessities for three people in the carriage, if the car was not driven in, they would have to move them one by one.
After waiting here for a while, everything was finally arranged.
When Ji Fengshou came out, he seemed to be in a good mood. "The students inside are very polite. Mingxuan and Changchuan have also been arranged to live. Tuition is free, but they have to pay for their own food and lodging. I'll give them 500 coins each. If it's not enough, ask Big Brother for more."
Mrs. Hu finally felt relieved: "It's fine as long as it's arranged."
With these people from the Ji family looking after it, it shouldn't be too bad.
Ji Fengshou drove out in an ox cart and waved enthusiastically to Old Deng: "I'm leaving, Brother Deng. I'll bring you something good next time!"
Old Deng thought Master Ji's brother was quite interesting, and replied with a smile, "Okay, I'll wait!"
After the luggage in the carriage was unloaded, there was a lot more space.
Mrs. Hu wandered around the street, hoping to buy some vegetables and noodles to take back.
However, the grain store only allows one person to buy one bushel of grain a day. They won’t sell more than that, and you must have a household registration to buy it.
Although there is no limit on the amount of vegetables, there are not many people selling vegetables at this time, and they are all sold at high prices.
Cabbage, which usually costs one cent per pound, is now sold for five cents per pound. Even so, there are still many customers but few goods.
Hu gritted her teeth, stood in the crowd, and broke through the siege of a group of aunts, and bought 50 kilograms of cabbage at a high price.
"There's no other way. Even if we have plenty of meat at home, can we still eat meat every meal?"
After getting in the car, Mrs. Hu was still muttering. Ji Changying knew that she was not explaining to her family, but comforting herself.
So he echoed: "That's right, meat doesn't taste good without vegetables."
After hearing the words of approval, Mrs. Hu felt a little better.
After returning home, Ji Changying took the time to enter the space, picked out some potatoes and sweet potatoes, and planned to try planting them in the room. Anyway, with the kang and charcoal basin burning, the temperature in the house was always high.
After refilling the automatic feeder, Ji Changying chuckled as he looked at the fatter piglets and the two fatter chickens.
Fatten them up and slaughter them during the New Year.
It’s a pity that living things cannot reproduce in this space, otherwise, with the workload of these two chickens, they would have hatched a bunch of chicks long ago.
She casually threw a few sweet potatoes to the piglets and chickens as a snack, and when she was about to carry the basket out of the space, the black dog rushed over and hung on her arm and refused to get down.
"What? Want to go out?" Ji Changying looked at the black dog hanging on his arm and poked its head.
The black dog hugged tighter.
"It was you who wanted to come in because it was too cold outside, and now you're bored and want to go out, it's still you!"
After cursing, Ji Changying picked up the black dog's tail and walked out of the space.
As soon as the black dog came out, it shivered and climbed onto the kang to keep warm.
Ji Changying didn't care about it. She asked You Tianming to make a few uncovered wooden boxes, dug some mud out of them and carried them back to the room.
According to the condition of the sprouts on the potatoes, cut the potatoes into several pieces and then soak them in water.
I tried the pH value of the soil in another box and planned to directly transplant some mature seedlings for observation.
In this way, they took two approaches at the same time, and spent all their time on this except for eating and sleeping. Then the people sent by Xie Siheng to take over the cattle, sheep and horses arrived.
Captain Kou's face was filled with unconcealed joy. He rode with his two deputies straight to the Ji family's house and slammed the door. "Miss Ji? Is Miss Ji home?"
Ji Changying saw it was him before she even opened the door. As soon as they met, she smiled and teased, "Uncle Kou, it's been a long time since we last met. Why are you calling at my door?"
Kou Jiming squeezed his body through the wide door and walked straight in. "I heard you guys got a bunch of barbarian horses? Where are they?"
As soon as he entered the door, his eyes darted around, and when he saw the two black and gold horses in the stable, his mouth was watering with envy.
Ji Changying stepped forward to block his gaze: "Wake up, that's my horse. We stole it from the barbarians. It's over there."
Ji Changying pointed to several horses tied on the other side and showed them to him.
"Niece, you were so enthusiastic when you saw me last time, and look at you now. It won't cost you a piece of meat to look at me twice!"
Ji Changying pointed at the corner of his mouth expressionlessly: "I'm afraid you'll eat them."
Kou Jiming wiped the corner of his mouth awkwardly.
The two deputies had already circled around the horses several times, their eyes shining and their hands constantly touching the horses' backs, as if they had seen some rare beauty.
"Good! Good! Good!"
After Kou Jiming saw the horses clearly, his eyes lit up and he cheered.
These horses have long hooves, strong hip muscles, long necks and large nostrils. They are obviously good horses at first glance.
"His father is truly a barbarian. The horses he raises are even more powerful than those from our Dali Dynasty!"
