Sister Han is good at farming

Chapter 296 The Last Side

"The problems in our three cities are not that big. If you are really worried, you can wait until the spring planting is over before going back. Besides, even if you go back now, the journey is long and it will take more than a day or two to get there. Instead of rushing to Yunqing in a hurry, it is better to arrange the corresponding matters here before going back."

Chi Jingxiao frowned.

"But you'll have to work hard traveling under the scorching sun."

"I'm not that delicate. This little bit of suffering is nothing to me. Although the problems in the three cities are a bit tricky, they are not unsolvable." Although Ruan Qingqing said this, her face was still frowning.

"I was worried that my grandparents wouldn't be able to hold out for too long, so I panicked for a while."

Ruan Qingqing took a deep breath.

"You are right. This place is a long way from Qingshui County, and it will take more than a day or two to get there. If I fail to take care of this place in order to gain a day or two, I will be worried about both places when I return to Qingshui County. I am afraid that I will not be able to take care of either. And I have another concern in my heart..."

"What are you worried about?" Chi Jingxiao frowned and looked at her.

"If my grandparents are not in good health, not only will Shi Ping ask for leave, but my myna guarding Xiyu Pass will also have to ask for leave. Two of the guards of the eight major passes on the Yunqing border have left the border at once. I am worried that Qingrong and Manyi will get ready to make a move after hearing the news."

Chi Jingxiao narrowed his eyes slightly, "Whether it's Shi Ping or your brother, they are not only the main generals guarding the border, but also the brave generals who deter foreign enemies. Once they leave the border, Yunqing's defense force will inevitably be greatly weakened. Not to mention that Qingrong and the barbarians will be ready to move, even the emperor sitting in the capital is probably unwilling to let them leave."

"But he doesn't dare not let them go!" Ruan Qingqing said firmly.

Chi Jingxiao glanced at her in surprise, and as if he suddenly remembered something, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

"That's right! He doesn't dare. Especially since there is someone as powerful as you behind them!"

Ruan Qingqing lowered her eyebrows. "Although Emperor Yunqing will make good arrangements, I am worried that Qingrong and the barbarians will make a big fuss about this. If I go back a few days later, I can not only arrange the affairs of the three cities and Momen, but also have time to make arrangements for Yunqing in advance."

"Well, don't let yourself get too tired, I'm here for everything!" Chi Jingxiao looked at her seriously.

Ruan Qingqing was stunned at first, then the corners of her mouth curled up slightly, "Okay!"

In the following days, Ruan Qingqing and others led Fu Yuanhao and Shen Zhizui to wander around Bale City during the day, and she made the next plan under the oil lamp at night. It was about the three cities, the Momen, and the future training and placement of Yan Muyang.

After Fu Yuanhao and Shen Zhizui realized that they could not get any useful information from Ruan Qingqing by hinting at her, they stayed in Bale City for ten days and then set off back to Yunqing.

Before they went back, they invited Ruan Qingqing to travel with them.

Ruan Qingqing refused.

Now she just wants to go back to her hometown to visit her relatives in a low-key manner and does not want her whereabouts to be exposed under everyone's eyes.

Qingshui County, Zaozilin, the Ruan family’s old house.

"Boss, help me, your father, up!"

Early in the morning, Mr. Ruan, unlike his usual weak self, gave instructions to Ruan Wanjin in a loud voice.

"Dad! Do you feel much better today?" Ruan Wanjin ran to Grandpa Ruan's bed with great joy, his face full of excitement.

"Dad!" Upon hearing the voice, the three brothers Ruan Wanyin, Ruan Wantong and Ruan Wantie hurried over, their eyes red.

"Well, I feel a lot lighter today. After lying down for more than half a year, your father's bones are all numb." Old Master Ruan stood up with the help of Ruan Wanjin's hand.

"Dad!" Ruan Wangang shouted in surprise.

"Third brother, you are not young anymore, why are you still so noisy?" Old Master Ruan frowned and scolded.

"Dad, I'm just happy, happy!" Ruan Wantong choked.

Mr. Ruan sighed, "You brothers have worked hard these days!"

"Dad, we are not tired. We are happy to see that you are doing well!" The tears in Ruan Wanyin's eyes were about to fall.

"Dad, what are you talking about?" Ruan Wantie said, holding back the tears in his throat.

"You are both extremely filial children. It is my honor to be your father and son in this life." Master Ruan looked at him with a smile on his face. "Originally, you were the son I was most worried about. I didn't expect you to be so successful."

"Dad, I haven't made much progress. It's all thanks to Daya. She was the one who woke me up." Ruan Wantie said honestly.

Mr. Ruan paused for a moment, "Old Four, how is Qingqing doing now? I haven't seen her for a long time."

"Daya she..." Ruan Wantie felt bitter and didn't know how to express himself.

"Dad, I think Qingqing, Xingge'er and Laowu are on the way! You know, they are the most up-to-date officials. Laowu sent a letter a month ago saying that he would be home in the next few days. He said he would contact other nephews and nieces to come home, and then we can have fun together."

Ruan Wanyin comforted him.

"grandfather!"

When Mr. Ruan heard the voice, his cloudy old eyes suddenly lit up. He threw away Ruan Wanjin's hand that was supporting him and walked towards Ruan Shiping.

"Xiao Shi! Are you back?"

"Well, I'm back. Grandpa, why are you so thin, but you still don't want to eat and drink? I told you a long time ago that our family has no shortage of money, and you and grandma can eat as much as you want but you can't make us poor." Ruan Shiping looked at Grandpa Ruan's body, which was so thin that it was almost unrecognizable, and his eyes couldn't help but feel a little sore.

"Alas, it's not that I don't want to, I'm just old and my appetite isn't that good anymore. But I'm very satisfied to be able to witness you all become so successful in this life. It's more enjoyable than eating any delicacies."

Mr. Ruan waved his hand nonchalantly.

Ruan Shiping stepped forward to support him, his eyes secretly reddened, "Master, do you feel much better today? I'll take you for a walk around the neighborhood in a few days, okay?"

"Today, I, your grandpa, really feel a lot lighter. I should be well soon." Grandpa Ruan said cheerfully.

He held tightly onto Ruan Shiping's hand, and asked, "You are at Jialing Pass, which is closest to Qingqing. Have you received any news from Qingqing?"

"Grandpa, are you worried about my elder sister?" Ruan Shiping asked.

Old Master Ruan sighed deeply, "Yes! It's not easy for your eldest sister to go so far away as a girl. You uncles and brothers must treat her well and don't let her suffer any grievances. Especially you, share her worries..."

It was rare for Mr. Ruan to talk for so long at once, and no one had the heart to interrupt him.

While they were talking, uncle and nephew Nguyen Van Xi and Nguyen Shixing came back with their families.

After everyone had greeted each other, Mr. Ruan's eyes drifted towards the door from time to time, but he did not see the child for a long time...

As soon as Ruan Qingqing opened the gate of the old house, she heard loud crying from inside. Her heart skipped a beat and she rushed in desperately.

"Qingqing, your grandfather left me. He was so cruel to leave me and went away first..." When Old Mrs. Ruan saw Ruan Qingqing, she grabbed her hand tightly and cried so hard that her throat sounded like it was rubbing on a whetstone.

She came back a step late after all...
