Chapter 16 Return
"How many of them are there?" Mr. Ji heard from the villagers that this group of boys often caught fish by the river, and they had a good harvest, so he didn't refuse. He followed to the kitchen but found that no one else was there.

"In the morning, Brother Yunlin brought the oxen to help plow the field. I asked Qing Lei to accompany him in the field and learned how to drive the oxen. I sent food to the field. Qinghua and Qinghe also asked them to go to the field after eating. Here, you can pick some wild vegetables over there."

Ji Qingyan tied the fish kept in the end basin with straw ropes that were not discarded, while explaining.She accepted her grandfather's kindness, and she spoke more casually.

"It turns out that kid from Yunlin came to help... I planned to plow the fields for you first after harvesting the wheat, so I feel relieved to have his help." Mr. Ji couldn't help but feel very relieved when he heard that, but his eyes couldn't help but look at the cupboard.

Just when Ji Qingyan turned around with the fish in hand, she saw her grandfather's eyes were a bit strange, and for some reason a thought suddenly appeared in her mind, and she blurted out: "Hasn't Grandpa eaten yet?"

"Well, your auntie's affair has been going on for a long time, so how can I eat?" Before the meal was finished, the old woman and granddaughter-in-law ran into the house crying and howling, and there was no one to do anything in the kitchen.

"Grandpa, don't worry about them, why don't you go back after eating here." Ji Qingyan couldn't help but smile when she realized it, put the fish back into the water, and immediately went to open the cupboard to take out the vegetables and nests.

"No, I can almost eat it when I go back. How can I come to eat your rations again." Mr. Ji quickly refused.

"Grandpa, we picked this bracken on the mountain a few days ago, and we picked this wild celery when we went to catch fish by the river. This fish grows in the river."

Ji Qingyan explained with a smile, and pointed to the scooped bracken, bamboo shoots and dried small fish on strings in the kitchen.

They are not expensive things, they are everywhere in spring now, as long as you have time to pick them, they are not costly.Mr. Ji was relieved again after hearing this, and said with emotion: "It's thanks to your understanding that the brothers and sisters are not hungry."

Although everyone can save hundreds of meals, it is easy to be disgusted by others after a long time, not to mention that his old bones are still there, how can others poke his back.

Wouldn't he be gratified that this child can find his own way and live a life in a place where he can't take care of him?

"Grandpa, the nest is still hot, you can sit down and eat something." Ji Qingyan didn't want to accompany her grandpa to sigh, she couldn't finish her complaints for a few days, and grandpa's conditions were limited, so why bother telling him to listen to him for nothing.

As a time traveler, she can live no matter how hard life is.

The only stool in the house is a long bench, because there is not enough room for siblings, so it has become a habit, no one sits down, and just stands at the table to eat.

But when grandpa comes, of course he has to sit down.Mr. Ji didn't know what was going on, so he agreed to sit down. He was really hungry.

At this time, Ji Qingyan also understood why Grandpa only casually asked her if she had eaten, but did not take any action, because there was nothing for her to eat.

Ji Qingyan poured a bowl of tea and put it aside, and stood by to accompany her grandfather to gossip about these days, which can be regarded as a life report, so that the elders can feel at ease.

Mr. Ji put down his chopsticks after eating two meals of food, and sighed: "Finally I'm not hungry anymore, I'll go back and eat some more."

Ji Qingyan suddenly pursed her lips tightly, afraid that she would laugh out loud.Grandpa was still afraid of eating their rations, didn't he just send a big bag here.

But his words "I'll go back and eat some more" made her feel happy, so she didn't say anything else, so she went to find a small bamboo basket and put some dried vegetables in it, and took a handful of sour bamboo shoots from the jar.

"Grandpa, I made them all these days. You can take some too. I'll catch some fish in the afternoon, and I'll take my younger siblings into the mountains tomorrow to dig some bamboo shoots. It's okay."

"Silly boy, you can keep it for yourself, I can't get it between their teeth if I take it back." Mr. Ji wanted to refuse.

"It doesn't matter, there are no decent things, it's just a little thought from us." Ji Qingyan put the bamboo basket into the hands of old man Ji with a smile, but said, "When grandpa is free, just help us make a few small back baskets."

There are big baskets at home, big back baskets, small bamboo baskets, big baskets, and back baskets, but there is no small back basket suitable for younger siblings.

"Okay, I'll chop some bamboo after harvesting the wheat, and I'll make it for you when I have time at night." Mr. Ji understood a little when he heard it, and agreed immediately.

Outside the fence gate, Ji Qingyan looked at her grandfather carrying a bamboo basket in one hand and the fish she caught at noon in the other, and she couldn't help sighing as she walked away with a very relieved figure.

She seemed to understand grandpa's mood.

So she gave back as much as possible, and didn't want anyone to complain about him going back.The big house is busy harvesting wheat now, even if there are idlers who can go down the river, they don't have the ability to catch fish like them.

She sent out so many fish at once, enough for them to have a full meal at night.As for those dried vegetables, it was really just a thought, and it was nothing compared to the bag of wheat my grandfather gave me.

But her family background is here, she just wants to be worthy of her heart.

Ji Qingyan looked at the sky, it was already afternoon, and a lot of time was wasted, the problem is that now he has to hurry to catch fish and come back, and he was a bit rushed to go up the mountain in the afternoon.

Thinking about how I told my grandpa about going up the mountain tomorrow, why not... let's do it tomorrow.

Ji Qingyan made up her mind, and immediately went back to carry a big pannier, took two wooden forks, closed the door and left.

She went to the field first, and saw that Yunlin had already started working, and Ji Qinglei was walking with him again, earnestly learning the techniques of driving cattle and plowing the fields.

The little sister is carefully picking Artemisia chrysanthemum on the ridge of the field. This kind of wild flower has a strong reproductive capacity. As long as it is not exposed to the whole area, it will grow very quickly. Don't worry about not seeing flowers in autumn.

Ji Qingyan went over and yelled, but Ji Qinglei ran back immediately, and even Yunlin dropped the cow and ran back, which stunned her immediately.

"Miss is here!"

"Sister, how is uncle Madam?"

"Sister, I heard that my aunt got sick from my mother's fright?"

"Yan'er, how's the situation?"

Facing the eager eyes of the four people, Ji Qingyan didn't whet the appetite, and just told the story. It was supposed to be explained quickly, and it didn't take long.

"Uncle didn't blame me. Grandpa packed a sack of wheat and sent it to my home. I asked grandpa to eat two nests." Finally, Ji Qingyan spread her hands, "It's just that I gave the fish I caught at noon. Go catch some fish and come back."

"Okay! I'm going to catch a few more this time!" Ji Qinglei responded immediately, and then his expression became tangled, "But I still have to plow the field."

"You go, I'm here." Yunlin said immediately, but looked at Ji Qingyan again, "Leave two fish for me to go back to work with."

"Pfft." Ji Qingyan laughed and nodded, "Okay!"
