The dead general was kidnapped by his husband and taken to farm.

Chapter 133 Back

In just a short while, the news that Young Master Jiang had returned to visit them spread, and soon aunts from four or five families came.

The women didn't have so many concerns and pulled Jiang Shian to look him up and down.

Jiang Shian had a smile on his face, and his tone was much softer than usual. He let the group of aunts pull him along, and answered everyone's questions: "Maybe I'll stay for half a month."

"Don't worry, Uncle Zhang. We have a place to stay, just in the inn on the street ahead. By the way, how is Brother Zhang Ping doing recently?"

"Okay, okay. I've been delayed a lot by work recently, and I was thinking of asking that guy to drive me to see if you are doing well these two days." The old man looked at Jiang Shian, tears glistening in his eyes.

Thinking back to half a year ago, this guy looked miserable and covered in wounds. Now he is completely different, and judging from his complexion, he must be doing well.

These old men are old and have little money at home, so they can only help a limited amount. Mr. Jiang is such a good man, he must be blessing his youngest son in heaven.

Jiang Shian and Yingmo took the things off the carriage and distributed them to everyone. It was just as he had just thought, many people were unwilling to accept these things.

He couldn't bring the goods back from far away even if he bought them, and the goods there were much cheaper than those in the county town.

After Jiang Shian's repeated persuasion, everyone finally took one or two items.

Seeing that there was still a pile of things on the ground after he took them away, Jiang Shian shook his head. He had no choice but to deliver them to other people's homes later.

Yingmo moved the things to the yard, said something to Jiang Shian, and sent the carriage back to the inn first.

Jiang Shian nodded and told him not to worry, as nothing would happen to him as he was here.

This carriage was borrowed from the inn, theirs was too big and probably wouldn't fit in. Even this slightly smaller carriage took up more than half of the yard.

The house was rather narrow, and if one wanted to sit in the courtyard, one had to drive the carriage out first.

Everyone sat down and began to ask Jiang Shian about his situation in the past six months, whether he had encountered any difficulties and needed help.

One family brought peanuts and melon seeds, and another brought tea and fruits. Soon the table in the yard was filled with food.

Old man Zhang wanted his grandson to buy some more snacks, but Jiang Shian quickly stopped him: "No need, Zhang Bai. There are snacks in the things we brought just now. Just unpack and eat them directly."

There were four or five children in the yard. When they heard this, they went into the house to get bowls to fill with snacks without being told by the adults.

They all like Jiang Shian, a handsome older brother who is completely different from the ones they meet on the street. He is very approachable and will touch their heads affectionately.

"Is An here for the business in the shop?"

Jiang Shian nodded: "That's the reason."

Everyone was about to say something when Aunt Qian hurried in with a bowl of hot noodles. Before they even entered the room, they heard her loud voice: "It's rare for Shi An to come back. Let him eat first and then ask. Don't hold on to him like this, or he'll get hungry."

A bowl was placed in front of Jiang Shian. It was a bowl of fragrant shredded pork noodles. The chewy and smooth noodles were soaked in the rich soup. There was half a bowl of shredded pork in the bowl of noodles, and it was topped with two poached eggs and some chopped green onions.

Jiang Shian wanted to say that he had just eaten and was not hungry, but looking at this bowl of noodles that was so thoughtful, he swallowed his words. Under everyone's expectant gaze, he picked up the poached egg with chopsticks.

Under the fried egg was delicious chili oil, and Jiang Shian also saw a few square pieces of meat.

Aunt Qian smiled and said, "This is beef braised at home. Shi An, try it and see if it tastes okay. If you like it, I'll pack some for you to take back when you leave."

A joke came from the side: "Everyone knows that your fat aunt makes the most delicious braised meat. Normally, you would not even want to take a piece out to eat with wine. Shi An is in for a treat today."

"Thank you Aunt Qian."

Jiang Shian had a bright smile on his face, which made the hearts of the aunts around him soften.

He picked up a piece and tasted it, nodding his head repeatedly: "Mm, delicious, this braised beef is the best I have ever eaten."

Aunt Qian smiled contentedly: "Okay, okay, as long as it tastes good, if you want to prepare it, just tell me in advance and I will prepare it for you."

This bowl of noodles was too much. Jiang Shian had just finished breakfast and couldn't eat any more. While talking to everyone, he stuffed a mouthful of noodles into the mouth of the little kid sitting next to him.

The little boy seemed to be very satisfied with the meal, as there were eggs and meat. He hadn't eaten noodles with so much oil in a long time. However, when Jiang Shi'an picked up a piece of noodles with chopsticks and put it to his mouth, he refused to open his mouth.

"Brother Shi An, just eat it. I'll just taste it. I'm not hungry."

The adult next to him also scolded: "That's right, Shi An, you rarely come here. If he wants to eat, there's more at home. Don't worry about him. Just eat more."

Jiang Shian rubbed his stomach, smiling helplessly, "Aunt Qian, I really can't eat anymore. I had already had breakfast when I came here, but the food you cooked was so delicious that I couldn't help but stuffed half a bowl in. I feel a little full now."

After hearing him say he was full, everyone didn't let him finish the rest.

Jiang Shian passed it to the kids next to him. The noodles didn't need shredded pork yet, so he ate a handful of noodles and a few pieces of braised beef. It would have been a shame to throw it away.

Then everyone started talking about other things. Jiang Shian only said that he wanted to see which businesses in the county town were doing particularly well. He did not say that he wanted to take over the Jiang family's business, for fear that everyone would worry about him.

After sitting and chatting for a while, it was lunch time in a blink of an eye. This large group of people refused to let Jiang Shian go back to eat and asked him to stay at home.

For this reason, Mr. Zhang asked someone to call back his grandson Zhang Ping who was busy in the shop.

The rest of the people didn't go back either, and started cooking directly at Zhang Ping's house. Jiang Shian brought a lot of things, including rice, oil, and dry food, as well as a lot of meat and vegetables, so he could start cooking right away.

Zhang Ping hadn't seen Jiang Shian for half a year. The scene of their separation was still vivid in his mind. Looking at Jiang Shian, his eyes were full of joy.

So when Yingmo and Ji Yinghuai arrived at the door of Zhang's house, they saw Jiang Shian and Ji Yinghuai chatting enthusiastically in the yard with smiles on their faces.
