Farming in the Mountains: Max Level Jiaojiao Is Three Years Old

Since his mother had already said so, Xue Yan stopped asking. He only exchanged glances with Jiang Yue again.

Her own son was finally by her side again. They had just reunited, so Shao Youyue did not want to be separated ever again. She did not stay in the inn, but went to the large courtyard at the back. They stayed together for a while before being invited to the front to have lunch with Empress Dowager Yunzi.

They met in Empress Dowager Yunzi’s room again.

The table was filled with dishes.

They sat around a round table. Shao Youyue, Xue Yan, and Jiang Yue were seated on one side. Empress Dowager Yunzi was sitting no different from the three of them.

Hui Xiang, Zi Cui, Xia Han, Miao Han, and Xue Liu stood by the side to serve everyone.

However, unlike in the past, Shao Youyue didn’t let Zi Cui and the others serve her. Instead, she happily watched Xue Yan and Jiang Yue eat. She was afraid that Xue Yan and Jiang Yue wouldn’t be full, so she filled the two children’s bowls with food.

Xue Yan was now practicing martial arts, so his appetite had increased a lot. Naturally, he could eat more now, but Jiang Yue couldn’t. She looked at Xue Yan with pleading eves.

Xue Yan silently pushed the bowl that was piled up like a small mountain in front of him. Jiang Yue picked up a lot of vegetables from her bowl and placed them in Xue Yan’s bowl.

Before long, Xue Yan’s rice bowl grew in size.

Shao Youyue was even happier when she saw their small actions. She couldn’t help but say excitedly, “Xue Yan, Jiang Yue, let’s go shopping after dinner. Shall I take you out for a walk?”

Xue Yan was just planning to tell them what they were going to do after dinner. He put down his chopsticks and said, “Jiang Yue and I are going to send Laicai and Xiuhua back to Zhu Village. When Jiang Yue and I came this morning, they mentioned to us that they wanted to go back”

Previously, because the Minister of Justice had not yet investigated the matter, he had allowed Laicai and Xiuhua to stay in the inn. Now that the matter had been investigated, Laicai and Xiuhua wanted to go back. Both of them naturally had to send them back to Zhu Village.

No matter how good the inn was, it wasn’t their own home.

Laicai and Xiuhua must be homesick, and must be missing the people of Zhu Village.

“There’s still a long way to go in the future. Jiang Yue and 1 will accompany you for a stroll another day. Would that be okay?” Xue Yan says again.

Jiang Yue also looked at Shao Youyue.

“Of course.” Shao Youyue nodded. “Yes, yes.” She was happy today and was especially energetic. She did not want to be separated from her son, but since her son had something to do, she would let her son do it.

No matter their age, they were already very responsible. She could not delay her son and Jiang Yue from such matters.

Since they were talking about Laicai and Xiuhua, Xue Yan was not in a hurry to pick up his chopsticks. Instead, he looked at Empress Dowager Yunzi opposite him and said, ‘Grandmother, there is something that I wish to tell you.”

“What is it?” Empress Dowager Yunzi also put down her chopsticks.

Xue Yan said, “Laicai and Xiuhua have long lost the ability to work due to their old age. However, in the past few years, Laicai and Xiuhua have never received any relief grain or silver. They relied on the help of the people of Zhu Village to barely survive. There are also others like them that are barely scraping by. Some people don’t even know that the imperial court grants relief grain every month. They wanted to give relief silver to the families in Xinyuan County who couldn’t work to support themselves, but the magistrate in Yiran said that the relief silver has to be given to the poorer counties in

Yiran..”
