Farming and teaching across different worlds

.

When the brothers arrived, they saw the village chief standing in front of the carriage with a few respectable old men, talking to Ji Xiuran and the others respectfully.

After hearing the news, the village head of Dashi Village hurried over, and he had just arrived not long ago.

Shi Jingchen and Ji Xiuran stood in the crowd, talking to the village chief with gentle faces.

Jiabao led Qisheng to distribute snacks to the children in the village. The candy and other things had already been distributed, but some children afterward were reluctant to leave even if they didn't get the distribution, and surrounded them eagerly.

Ji Xiuran ordered Qisheng to get some snacks and share them with them.

Seeing this, the Shi family brothers hurried forward. Ji Xiuran and Shi Jingchen also saw them at this time, apologized to the village chief and the others, and walked towards them.

After Brother Shi and the others met with them, they smiled and said politely to the village head and the others: "Let's go to our house. The village head and a few uncles come to my house for tea."

The village chief and the others hesitated for a moment, then refused. This time is not suitable, and it will not be too late for them to go after they finish their lunch.

After talking to Shi Daniu, and going to visit in the afternoon, he made way for Ji Xiuran and the others to leave.

Ji Xiuran and the others didn't get into the carriage, but followed the Shi family brothers and walked back together.

The brothers of the Shi family surrounded Shi Jingchen, talking to him.

Ji Xiuran didn't step forward to disturb, but quietly stood aside, holding Jiabao's hand and walking forward.

While walking, he looked at the current Dashi Village. In his impression, Dashi Village was very poor, but now it seems that it has changed a lot.

In the past, the houses of every family were simple and low, and there were stones everywhere in the village, and it was rare to see some flowers and trees.

Occasionally, one or two trees are also crooked necks growing out of the cracks in the rocks.

But now not only are the houses of each family well-rested, but some citrus trees have also been planted.

It looks a little more vibrant.

Shi Daniu looked back and saw Ji Xiuran looking at his village.

He scratched his head in embarrassment, and said: "Our village is not as beautiful as Qingshan Village. However, it is the season of ripe citrus on the mountain, and it is still worth seeing. If Xiuran is interested, I will let Xiaoniu take you to see it later. .”

Ji Xiuran withdrew his gaze, looked at Big Brother Shi, and replied with a smile: "No need, the village is fine."

Hearing what he said, Brother Shi smiled and didn't say any more, but turned his head and continued to talk to Shi Jingchen: "Er Niu, my parents were very worried when they heard that you went to war, and they are relieved when they heard that you came back safely. Come down, yesterday I heard that you are back, and I have been looking forward to it."

When Shi Jingchen heard this, his usually calm face was inevitably moved.

He didn't grow up with his parents since he was a child, and he didn't think he had a deep relationship with his family.

Although I also miss these family members, I always habitually put them last.

But when he heard what his elder brother said today, he immediately understood that even if he didn't grow up with them, his parents still cared about him all the time.

No matter how old you are or how far you go, your parents will always worry about you.

After talking, they reached the door, Ji Xiuran and Shi Jingchen couldn't help but stop and looked up.

I happened to see father and mother of stone standing at the door looking around with their heads together.

The two hurried forward with Jia Bao, saluted and greeted them.

Father Shimu quickly bent down to help him up.

Mother Shi was still holding Shi Jingchen's hand tightly, looking at him carefully, her eye circles couldn't help turning red.

Father Shi saw it from the side, and lightly reprimanded: "Today is a good day, you are not allowed to cry."

Only then did Shimu sniff her nose, suppress the tears in her eyes, look at them with a smile, and gave way: "Let's go in quickly, don't stand at the door."

After speaking, he dragged Shi Jingchen to the door, and Ji Xiuran, Jia Bao and others followed behind them.

Shi Daniu stepped forward to support his father.

Now, although Father Shi's legs and feet have improved a lot, he still can't walk very well, so he needs someone to support him.

Seeing this, Ji Xiuran hurriedly ordered Jiabao to come forward.

Jia Bao obediently walked to Father Shi's side and held his other side.

Father Shi looked at him with pity, stretched out his hand to touch his head, and praised him.

When they returned to the house, Shi Jingchen and Ji Xiuran took Jiabao and sat on the side with Shi's father and Shi's mother, while Brother Shi and the others sat opposite with their wives and children.

After the tea was brewed, Brother Shi began to introduce them one by one.

Over the years, the brothers of the Shi family have all married wives, and now they almost have children of their own.

Even for Shi Xiaoniu who got married last year, his wife is already six months pregnant, and now she is standing beside her with a big belly.

Following Brother Shi's introduction, Ji Xiuran and Shi Jingchen met several sisters-in-law and nephews one by one.

Give them gifts that you prepared in advance.

After that, Mother Shi took several daughter-in-laws to the kitchen to continue working, and took a few children out by the way, leaving a few men to drink tea and talk here.

After a while, Ji Xiuran felt that Jiabao was sitting there, moving around dishonestly, so he knew that he must be bored.

Then he whispered to Shi Jingchen who was beside him, "Third brother, let Jiabao go out and play with some younger brothers for a while."

Dabao didn't come back today because he wanted to study in the academy, and Jiabao was the biggest here.

Although he really wanted to go out to play, Dang even felt a little unhappy when his father said that he wanted to play with these little babies by himself.

Sitting there pouted, not speaking.

Seeing him like this, Father Shi and the Shi family brothers were all concerned and asked what was wrong with him.

Naturally, it was impossible for Ji Xiuran to buy out his son at this time, so he replied with a smile: "Maybe I feel bored."

Everyone laughed when they heard this, and then Shi Xiaoniu said: "Uncle, take Jiabao to play, okay?"

After hearing this, Jia Bao looked at Shi Xiaoniu with interest.

Shi Xiaoniu hurriedly said: "Let's go to the mountain to the west to pick fruit. There are other fun things over there. I'll take you to see them."

When Jiabao heard this, his heart was moved, he turned his head to look at his parents, saw them nodding, he went to Shi Xiaoniu's side, and held his hand.

Maverick immediately happily picked up Jiabao by the waist, threw it on his back, and ran out with it on his back.

Jiabao exclaimed for a while, and then couldn't help shouting excitedly.

Father Shi saw that his youngest son was so out of tune, he couldn't help scolding from behind: "Slow down, watch Jiabao, don't take Jiabao to dangerous places."

In the end, he was still worried, so he told Wu Niu beside him: "Follow up and have a look."

The fifth child answered and followed quickly.

Father Shi still looked out worriedly.

Seeing this, Ji Xiuran smiled and comforted him: "Father, don't worry, Jiabao has been practicing. Although he is small, his skills are also very good. It will be fine."

Father Shi heard this, looked at Ji Xiuran and smiled embarrassedly, and stopped looking outside.

Then everyone started talking again.

After a while, the kitchen was ready to cook, and those who went out to play came back, and everyone gathered around a table to eat.

After dinner, they met with the village head and clan elders of Dashi Village before they headed home.

Chapter 215

Back home, Ji Xiuran and the others went to the main room to meet Ji's father and mother.

Seeing that the two elders didn't see Jiabao for a day, it was very rare, so they left Jiabao there by the way.

Only then did the two come out of the main room and return to their yard.

Ji Xiuran took out the clothes he wanted to change from the closet, walked behind the screen, and said while changing clothes: "Third brother, do we have to prepare for the day after tomorrow?"

The banquet was scheduled for the day after tomorrow. Although they didn't have to worry about buying anything, they still decided to invite those guests themselves.

Although it's a bit late to invite now, who made this banquet more urgent.

Shi Jingchen was sitting on a chair outside at this moment, holding the letter that had just been delivered and looking at it.

Hearing Ji Xiuran's words, he replied casually: "You don't need to make too much publicity, just invite the villagers and the gentlemen from the academy. Dad, they have already made an agreement with them today, and we will come together when the time comes."

This refers to the Shi family. When the two of them went to the Shi family, they had already mentioned the banquet.

After changing his clothes, Ji Xiuran came out from behind the screen, straightened his sleeves, nodded in agreement when he heard what he said, and said, "Then I will visit Mr. tomorrow, and I will invite them then."

After speaking, he walked to the table and sat down, and said to Shi Jingchen who was still sitting there reading the letter: "Third brother, go and change your clothes. I'll read these letters later."

After speaking, he couldn't help but glanced at the letters, and asked casually, "Are you all right?"

These are the letters delivered today, and Shi Jingchen has already scanned them for a while, and there is nothing important, so he put down the letters casually, and replied: "It's nothing serious."

Hearing what he said, Ji Xiuran nodded reassuringly, stopped paying attention to these things, bought himself a cup of tea, and drank it.

After a while, he found that Shi Jingchen still hadn't got up, looked over with some doubts, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Shi Jingchen looked at him and replied, "I want to go out for a while."

Ji Xiuran couldn't help frowning, and asked, "Where are you going?"

Shi Jingchen couldn't help but raised his hand to caress his brow, and replied with a smile: "Xiu Ran, don't be nervous, I just want to check on the situation of Liu Zhuang and others, and I have something to tell."

Only then did Ji Xiuran breathe a sigh of relief, then he raised his eyebrows and asked, "What's the matter, third brother, so anxious?"

Shi Jingchen didn't hide it from him, and said, "Tomorrow I will take them into the mountain."

Hearing this, Ji Xiuran couldn't help frowning his brows that had been relaxed just now.

Shi Jingchen raised his hand and took him into his arms, and continued:
