In the capital city, the relationship between the Emperor and the Empress was in a stalemate.
In Locust Village, Jiang Yue and Xue Yan were in Shao Shuting’s room, pouring medicine into his mouth.
Shiye was not in Shao Shuting’s room today.
This was because Shao Shuting still wanted to preserve his great general status. It was fine if his father forced him to drink medicine, but if Shiye saw him being forced to drink medicine by a baby, would he still have the image of a general? Naturally, every time Jiang Yue and Xue Yan fed him medicine, he would send Shiye away.
Who knew that this time, Shiye didn’t go to the other places in the village but went to the back of the house to see what it looked like. Unexpectedly, the window at the back of Shao Shuting’s room was open, this was the window directly facing the kitchen. With a casual glance, Shiye clearly saw the scene of their general being forced to drink medicine by a baby girl. Shiye’s eyes instantly widened, and his mouth opened so wide that a whole loaf of bread could be stuffed in.
The sword in his hand fell.
The clanging sound of a sword rendered Shao Shuting speechless. It was over, he had completely lost his image.
Jiang Yue and Xue Yan were in a hurry to pick things up, so they didn’t care about him. Shao Shuting, on the other hand, saw that Shiye was still in a daze, not even picking up his sword, so he held his forehead and said, “Hurry up and help!”
“Oh, oh.” Only then did Shiye come back to his senses. He hurriedly adopted his sword and followed Jiang Yue and Xue Yan to the fields with large strides.
It had been a few days since Shiye came to Locust Village. Other than taking care of his master Shao Shuting, he would go around the village lending help to those in need.
He was also a person who couldn’t stay idle. Once he was idle and had nothing to do, he would feel uncomfortable and fidgety. He felt at ease when he had things to do.
Now that Jiang Yue and Xue Yan were going to pick some things to sell in town, and he was free, he wanted to help.
With the help of Shiye, Jiang Yue and Xue Yan could pick the strawberries, tomatoes, and watermelons faster.
After picking these things, they went to the paddy field.
The early rice had to be harvested. They would probably be able to harvest before dark today, so they would have to rush to plant the late rice tomorrow.
“Jiang Yue, do you want to leave it here to dry?” Shiye adopted a stack of paddy that had just been harvested by the workers.
Jiang Yue and Xue Yan were spreading out the small pile of rice on the ground, ensuring that it was thin enough to dry evenly. Hearing this, Jiang Yue looked at Shiye and said, “No, you can’t go there. Turn it around. That’s where other people dry their rice. Our house is here. You can’t make a mistake.
“Okay!” Shiye strode over. It was clearly a full stack of rice, but he carried it as if it weighed nothing.
After about an hour of work in the paddy field, someone came running over.
“Xue Yan, Jiang Yue, I’ve bought the ingredients! I left it at Xue Dagui’s door!” The person who had brought the ice and returned from helping to buy vegetables shouted loudly.
The paddy field was not far from Xue Dagui’s house. It was only about 50 meters behind Xue Dagui’s house, and the man had spoken so loudly that Jiang Yue and Xue Yan could hear him.
The two of them immediately responded back.
Seeing that the groceries had been bought, Xue Yan and Jiang Yue could go and prepare lunch now. The lunch that Jiang Yue prepared every day was so delicious that Shiye couldn’t help but swallow his saliva and said hurriedly, “Xue Yan, Jiang Yue, please go and make lunch. I’ll take care of this. I will go back in a while.”
“Thank you.” Jiang Yue and Xue Yan both nodded, then put down the rakes in their hands and went back to prepare lunch.
