When Ji Changying saw them heading towards the wheat field, she felt relieved. She took a look over there and closed the door.
Mrs. Hu was watering the vegetables and flowers in the yard. "I heard some noise outside."
"It seems some relative is here."
Ji Changying explained and went back to the grocery store to start fiddling with the potatoes.
These potatoes need to be screened, cut into pieces, and placed in a ventilated and dry place to dry. Only after the cuts scab over can they be prepared for seedling cultivation.
More than a dozen women have now reached the stage of cutting the fruits into pieces, and are just waiting to be dried before being cultivated in Ji Changying's hands.

A large group of people arrived at the edge of the wheat field. Zhong Lizhou saw a group of small tents and waved them to stop. "Go and tell my mother, tell her that my grandmother is here! Tell her to come out and greet me."
"yes!"
Brigadier General Yang had a tense face and trotted to the guard to report in.
Zhongli Zhou quickly dismounted and walked towards the carriage. "Grandma, we're here! My mother's camp is right here. Do you want to get off and stretch your legs or go straight in?"
Jiang Qianruo moved his somewhat stiff legs: "It would be nice to come down and take a walk!"
Tang Qingfeng quickly jumped out of the car first, turned around and reached out to help her: "Please go slowly."
Zhongli Zhou stood beside the carriage and silently retracted his outstretched arm.
After helping Jiang Qianruo get off the carriage, Tang Qingfeng was in the mood to look at the surrounding environment.
This time of year is when flowers, plants and trees are flourishing. Xiaotian Village has lost its former coldness and has become more lively. However, due to the vast land and sparse population of Liangzhou, it still looks a bit desolate.
Looking around, apart from this mountain, there is nothing else to see except the dilapidated houses and these simple tents in the distance.
"Why is the princess stationed here for no reason? I don't think there's anything here, and it's inconvenient to even go out."
Tang Qingfeng shook his head in some confusion.
As soon as he finished speaking, he felt a gust of wind at the back of his head, and then his head hurt.
He looked down in disbelief at the stinky shoe that hit him on the head, then turned around and glared at him: "Outrageous! Who threw that?!"
"You bastard! How dare you appear before me?"
Tang Qingfeng stared at the figure opposite him in shock, disbelief, and panic, his eyes dull: "Master?!!"
Old Huang was wearing a coarse linen shirt with his trouser legs and sleeves rolled up. He was carrying a medicine basket on his back with a small medicine hoe faintly visible inside. It seemed that he had just returned from outside.
He was just passing by, but unexpectedly, he saw a familiar figure at first glance.
He was not sure whether it was his unfilial disciple, but as soon as he opened his mouth, Mr. Huang was sure.
He suddenly became angry and took off his shoes and threw them at him.
Turning around and seeing that it was indeed Tang Qingfeng, Mr. Huang didn't care about his bare foot and walked forward, pointing at Tang Qingfeng's nose and cursing:
"You still have the nerve to call me Master? I'm not your Master! I don't have a disciple like you! I've painstakingly raised you from the time you were as small as a cat. I've passed on all my skills to you, believing I've never wronged you in the slightest. Yet, you dared to go against your Master's will and make a decision behind my back! You gave up medicine to become a government official, and took that ridiculous imperial examination! You even married into someone else's family! I'll let you marry into my family! I'll let you marry into my family!"
Mr. Huang became angrier and angrier as he spoke. He took off his other shoe and hit Tang Qingfeng with it.
Tang Qingfeng's face turned red with embarrassment.
He was a dignified Shangshu Zuocheng, who could call the wind and rain in Kyoto. When he went out, he was always surrounded by people and everyone gave him face. Even his father-in-law had been kind to him in the past two years.
Now, his master had actually scolded him in front of so many people. In anger, he raised his voice a little: "Master! Your feet don't hurt? Put on your shoes... I'll beat you again."
By the end of his words, his voice couldn't be any weaker, and he lowered his head as he walked his shoes to Mr. Huang's feet.
Huang Lao stood barefoot on the ground, his face still somewhat unhappy. He was about to rant again when a voice suddenly came from the side: "Brother, you've already vented your anger. Let him go for now. The child has grown up, so you should always give him some face."
This voice made Huang Lao freeze on the spot. He twisted his neck mechanically to the side and saw the familiar yet unfamiliar face next to him: "Aruo?"
Jiang Qianruo also had tears in her eyes: "It's me, Senior Brother."
The shoe that Huang Lao was holding in his hand instantly fell to the ground: "You, you, why are you here? How did you get out? You just came here like this? By yourself? Where's he?"
Mr. Huang looked around and didn't see the man, so his face suddenly darkened.
Zhong Lizhou stood aside and had no room to speak. At this moment, Zhou came running over with Song Ruqing on her back, shouting, "Where is she?"
Everyone's attention was drawn over there.
The moment Jiang Qianruo saw Zhou's face, his mind went blank.
All the sounds and movements around me disappeared, leaving only a buzzing sound in my head.
Her face turned pale in an instant.
Zhou ran over with Song Ruqing on her back and headed straight for Zhonglizhou: "Where is your grandmother? Hurry up and see her so I can send your mother back! I don't know what they were thinking, letting someone with mobility issues come to see her..."
Zhonglizhou gasped and quickly interrupted, "Aunt Zhou! Why did you carry my mother out here? Where's Aunt Lan?"
"Your Aunt Lan was supervising someone's training and didn't have time. I happened to be there, so I took the opportunity to carry it over to your mother."
Zhou waved her hand to indicate that these were trivial matters.
Song Ruqing took a deep breath and patted Zhou's shoulder: "Let me down."
Zhou said "Oh", bent down to put Song Ruqing down, and supported her.
After treatment, Song Ruqing was supported by someone and was able to stand for a while. She shook her head to signal Zhou to let her go. Facing Jiang Qianruo, she bowed solemnly and said, "Daughter-in-law greets mother-in-law! I just learned of your arrival because of different information. I hope there will be any shortcomings, mother-in-law, to punish me!"
Only then did Zhou look at Jiang Qianruo.
Their eyes met.
Zhou's eyes widened in an instant.
Jiang Qianruo pursed her lips, but no sound came out.
Jiang Qianruo and Mr. Huang grew up together. Seeing her expression, there was nothing Mr. Huang didn't know.
Tang Qingfeng was also stunned.
How could two people look so similar?
He looked at this and that, and determined that the two people were as similar as 80%!
Old Huang looked at Zhou with a complicated expression. He moved his lips and was about to explain something, but Zhou frowned and asked in a neither-so-soft-nor-loud voice, "What's going on? You look so familiar to me! It's strange! I've never seen you before!"
Her eyes were full of confusion, and she even scratched her hair in confusion, looking bewildered.
