Hot Farmer’s Wife: Buying a Husband for the Farm

"But I have the ointment that my aunt left before, and wearing a helmet can protect my face, my face is fine." Henry Zhang finished, and looked at Lin Xiaoyue with some pride.

Lin Xiaoyue's heart was touched for a while.

Before the end of the 21st century, with the development of self-media, she had also seen some soldiers on the frontier.

At the age of seventeen or eighteen, his face was covered with frostbite, and he looked weather-beaten.

Thinking of this, Lin Xiaoyue looked at Henry Zhang with a little more distress.

This shocked Henry Zhang.

Then, Henry Zhang embarrassedly scratched his head.

"Hehe, it doesn't really matter. I grew up at the border, and I'm used to it."

Lin Xiaoyue then took her eyes away from Henry Zhang's face.

Just wanting to comfort Henry Zhang, Li Xiao came back.

"I'm going to the toilet!" Henry Zhang said quickly in Li Xiao's direction, and then walked away in a hurry.

Manager Fang looked at Lin Xiaoyue.

"Don't take offense, Mistress, Young Master Biao, I'm not used to people caring so much about him." Chong Lin Xiaoyue explained.

Young Master Biao's father was a lieutenant under the Great General Wang, and it was difficult for his wife to give birth to Young Master Biao and pass away.

After that, Deputy General Xiao took Master Biao to the barracks.

But after only three years, Deputy General Xiao died in battle.

After that, Young Master Biao grew up beside the Great General King.

To Young Master Biao, the Great General King and the Great General Princess are not only his uncle and aunt, but also his adoptive father and mother.

After the Nangong family was destroyed, Young Master Biao didn't look heartless, in fact, he felt more sad than anyone else.

Hearing the news that his master is still alive, he escaped from the border without hesitation, all the way to Qingshi Town.

At that time, when I saw the master, I cried so much that I was stunned.

It's a pity that he didn't dare to mention it.

Otherwise, Master Biao will have to turn his back on him.

With the temperament of Young Master Biao, it is strange that he is not moved by his own cousin's sister-in-law's distressed eyes.

Li Xiao came over and took Lin Xiaoyue into his arms with a big hand.

A pat on her arm.

"It's windy outside, let's go back." said softly.

Lin Xiaoyue glanced at their room and nodded.

Then, he gave Director Fang a farewell look, and followed Li Xiao away.

Entering the room, without the river wind, I immediately felt a lot warmer.

Walking to the bedside, Lin Xiaoyue naturally snuggled into Li Xiao's arms.

After resting for a while, he looked up at Li Xiao.

"After returning from the border, let Henry Zhang move to Liu Zhai to live." Chong Li Xiao said.

Regarding Henry Zhang, Li Xiao told her about his life experience before.

In fact, she had this idea before, but she didn't mention it to Li Xiao.

Li Xiao looked down at Lin Xiaoyue with a touch of emotion in his eyes.

"Yeah." Then he responded.

Lin Xiaoyue raised the corner of her mouth, and pressed her face to Li Xiao's chest again.

"Brothers of the Chiwu Army, go back to Qingshi Town. Let's also look for opportunities to slowly arrange for them to retreat." Then, he asked tentatively.

Li Xiao's face was startled, but he didn't answer.

Lin Xiaoyue's heart sank quickly.

Feeling the abnormality of the person in his arms, Li Xiao lowered his head and dropped a kiss on Lin Xiaoyue's forehead again.

"Okay." He continued.

Lin Xiaoyue's face immediately became happy.

"However, I'm afraid King Anyang won't allow it." This was what he was worried about.

Lin Xiaoyue raised her head and looked at Li Xiao with light in her eyes, "It's alright, let's arrange the elderly and injured people to retire first. The lord will not stop it."

Lin Xiaoyue looked up at Li Xiao, "After that, just don't add new people."

"Wait a few years, if the lord really wants to do something, you can take the rest with you."

"If the soldiers are disabled, they will be old. When they come back, we will arrange work and a place for them to live. If they can't move in the future, we will arrange for old age."

"If they are willing to get married, we will also provide money to help Zhang Luo."

"It's just that the Chiwu Army can only be these people now. After that, it can't be added any more." Lin Xiaoyue looked straight at Li Xiao.

She did not participate in Li Xiao's past, nor could she change it.

You can only accompany him and take on the responsibilities that belong to the Nangong family.

But in the future, he will no longer be named Nangong, just Li Xiao, her husband.

Everything in the Nangong family should end and be buried.

Only in this way, for the rest of their lives, their husband and wife will be able to enjoy peace.

Li Xiao stretched out her big hand and straightened the broken hair on Lin Xiaoyue's temples.

"Okay. My husband promised you." Shen Sheng replied.

Then, he took Lin Xiaoyue into his arms.

The strength was great, but Lin Xiaoyue's emotions instantly relaxed.

Hearing the strong and steady heartbeat in the man's chest, a strong sense of happiness exploded in Lin Xiaoyue's heart.

Meanwhile, in the next room.

Manager Fang looked strangely at Henry Zhang who said nothing.

Those who practice martial arts have a keen sense of hearing.

What's more, the two small rooms are separated by a wooden board, and the sound can be heard very clearly.

Henry Zhang turned sideways and turned his back directly to Director Fang.

Then he raised his hand.

Seeing Director Fang was shocked.

isn't it? Is Master Biao crying?

I wanted to laugh a little in my heart, but I held it back.

Thinking of what the mistress and mistress discussed just now, Director Fang was also full of thoughts at the moment.

Abandoning the idea of ​​laughing at Henry Zhang, Manager Fang put down his hand leaning on the bedside and lay down.

Then, he turned over and turned his back to Henry Zhang's direction.

No longer expand the Chiwu Army, let the Chiwu Army slowly retreat until it disappears...

This move by the mistress is contrary to the original intention of the Nangong family to create the Chiwu Army, and it is even disrespectful, ashamed of the ancestors of the Nangong family.

But... even he, who has been in the Chiwu Army since he can remember, and has followed the Great General King for many years, is also moved.

Enter the Chiwu Army, be loyal to the Chiwu spirit, kill the enemy and protect the country, and be loyal to the Nangong family.

They all did it.

But what is waiting for them?

Loyal to the monarch and patriotism, the general Wang, who guarded the people of Dayan, was convicted and almost wiped out the clan.

What is the fate of the Chiwu Army, which has killed countless enemies and blocked countless enemy invasions?

There are still nearly 6,000 people who lack food and clothing, are trapped at the border, and face the dilemma of being frozen to death and starved to death at any time.

General King, if you were still there, would you still—— insist?

In the next room, Lin Xiaoyue had come out of Li Xiao's arms and sat beside the bed.

"It's too boring to stay like this, I have to find something to pass the time." Lin Xiaoyue muttered.

Saying that, he explored his consciousness into one of his space rings.

She remembered that she had found a deck of playing cards in one of the space rings before.

Right now, they still have about five days to go to Xiangshui Town.

Just in time to take out the playing cards and pass the time.

After a while, Lin Xiaoyue's face was filled with joy.

At the same time, a deck of playing cards appeared in his hand.

Facing Li Xiao's doubtful eyes, Lin Xiaoyue quickly took out the card from the card box.

"Go, ask Henry Zhang and Director Fang to come over. I'll teach you to play poker!" Lin Xiaoyue said excitedly.

Li Xiao was stunned.

"Come on! Play poker, time is better!" Seeing that Li Xiao didn't move, Lin Xiaoyue urged.

There was a hint of hesitation on Li Xiao's face, but he still got up and walked out of the door.

After a while, Henry Zhang and Manager Fang were called.

The two were about to salute Lin Xiaoyue, but they were stopped by Lin Xiaoyue's wave.

"I don't care about the false gifts. Come and play cards with me." Lin Xiaoyue smiled and said to the two of them after shuffling the cards.

Henry Zhang and Manager Fang were stunned for a moment, and then their expressions became very serious.

Then they all looked at Li Xiao.

Seeing this, Lin Xiaoyue also looked at Li Xiao with a puzzled look in her eyes.

Let's just play cards together, what's with this expression?

"I'm not in the army now, there aren't that many rules. Sit down." Li Xiao said.

Only then did Lin Xiaoyue remember that the Chiwu Army was strictly disciplined and was not allowed to gamble.

Henry Zhang and Manager Fang glanced at each other, and then sat down.

His expression was still somewhat reluctant.

Lin Xiaoyue smiled.

"I asked you to come and play cards to pass the time. It's not to gamble with you." He said, and put the shuffled cards in the middle of the table.

Henry Zhang and Manager Fang were a little surprised. Play cards without gambling?

Looking at the poker cards that Lin Xiaoyue put on the table, her eyes were a little puzzled.

Did they really think too much? It seems that they have never seen such gambling equipment before.

Seeing that the two looked less resistant, Lin Xiaoyue took a stack of cards down, turned the cards over, and showed them to the three.

"This is a playing card. It consists of the king, the king and..." Lin Xiaoyue first introduced the three types of playing cards to the three.

Then, he explained to the three how to play cards.

"The card we want to play is called wearing a hat, two people sitting opposite each other in a team..."

The three of them seemed to understand.

Henry Zhang asked several questions halfway through, and Lin Xiaoyue answered them one by one.

"Okay, let's learn while playing. The losing group will be punished." Lin Xiaoyue folded all the cards and prepared to shuffle the cards again.

"What... what punishment?" Henry Zhang asked anxiously.

He and Fang are in charge of a team, neither of them can play, and the probability of losing is very high.

Director Fang also looked at Lin Xiaoyue.

Lin Xiaoyue's mind moved.

"Well... just do twenty push-ups." He said.

Punishment is also physical exercise, and both body and mind are pleasant.

"W-what is a push-up?" Henry Zhang asked again.

This time, not only Director Fang, but Li Xiao also looked at Lin Xiaoyue.

"It is to support the ground with both hands and feet, bend your arms, and let your body go down to the ground. Lift your body and drop it for one. Twenty means lift your body and drop it twenty times." Lin Xiaoyue explained.

"Don't worry, if you and Manager Fang lose, I will demonstrate for you at that time, and you can follow along." Lin Xiaoyue said again when she saw that the three were still puzzled.

Henry Zhang and Manager Fang glanced at each other, and their eyes relaxed.

The mistress will demonstrate to them personally, so it seems that this push-up should not be difficult to do.

So the four of them played cards.

At first, the three of them didn't quite understand and made some mistakes.

But with Lin Xiaoyue's constant reminders and explanations, the three quickly mastered the trick.

Then, he quickly indulged in the fun of playing cards.

Time passes without knowing it.

After another round, Henry Zhang and Director Fang finally won.

"Haha, ten, fifteen, twenty-five, thirty-five, forty-five! There are an extra twenty here! Two levels up!" Henry Zhang clicked the scoring card, and almost stood up excitedly.

Opposite him, Manager Fang's face was full of smiles.

"It's only two levels, and you won't be able to catch up with us if you rise up." Lin Xiaoyue said contemptuously.

"Take it, it's your turn to sit in the village." Then, the card was pushed to Henry Zhang.

Henry Zhang took it with a smile, learned Lin Xiaoyue’s previous operations, and shuffled the cards.

"What's the hurry? Manager Fang and I have just mastered the tricks, and we will soon catch up with you! Oh no, we have to surpass you!" He said while shuffling the cards.

"Haha, the imagination is beautiful..."

Li Xiao looked at his daughter-in-law arguing with Henry Zhang, and when he saw the smiles on their faces, he couldn't help but raised the corners of his lips.

I don't know how long it took.

When Li Xiao and Lin Xiaoyue's team failed to wear hats for the first time, there was a sound from outside the door.

The four people who were busy playing cards stopped laughing abruptly.

After signaling to each other, they all looked towards the door.

Soon, there was a knock on the door.

"Lin Dong's family, I'm here to bring you meals." It was shopkeeper Liang.

Everyone in the room breathed a sigh of relief.

Lin Xiaoyue checked the time in the space ring, only to find that it was past noon.

At the same time, I found that my stomach was also a little hungry.

Henry Zhang quickly got up and went to open the door.

Shopkeeper Liang was a little surprised to see that all four were there, and there were some scattered playing cards on the table in the room.

But without asking more, he entered the door.

"Major General, Lin Dong's family." Putting the two food boxes in his hand on the table, he bowed to Li Xiao and Lin Xiaoyue.

"The conditions on the ship are poor, and you can only make do with food."

"Treasurer Liang is serious, and I want you to help us." Lin Xiaoyue smiled and thanked.

"It should." Shopkeeper Liang replied.

"Everyone take it slow. I'll come back to the food box in an hour." After speaking, he bid farewell.

"Well. Send treasurer Liang." Lin Xiaoyue replied, looking at Henry Zhang.

"No, Brother Xiao, please stay." Exiting the door, Shopkeeper Liang stopped Henry Zhang.

Then he bowed to Lin Xiaoyue and Li Xiao again, and then left.

Henry Zhang did not chase.

When shopkeeper Liang was far away, he turned back and closed the door.

"Take the cards, let's eat first." Lin Xiaoyue said.

With that said, his hand has already put away the cards on the table.

"Well, after dinner, let's continue!" Henry Zhang responded and returned to the table to sit down.

The other three looked at each other with some joy.

"Success! Anyway, Xianggong and I haven't put our hats on for you!" Lin Xiaoyue looked at Henry Zhang with a smile.

"Hmph, it's not necessarily who wins and who loses! Maybe, the other way around?" Henry Zhang said unconvinced.

"Think beautifully!"

"..."

Another bickering.

After a while, the two stopped when the food was taken out of the food box and placed on the table.

There are a total of six dishes on the table, four meat dishes and two vegetarian dishes, which seem to be quite hearty.

Unfortunately, for someone like Lin Xiaoyue, it seems a little bland.

After Li Xiao arrived at Liu's house, he was also used to eating spicy food, and when he saw this dish, his appetite was not very good.

On the other hand, Henry Zhang and Manager Fang were quite satisfied with this dish.

Especially Henry Zhang, who quickly picked up the chopsticks.

Well, the main thing is that this kid has been at the border all the time. He is used to a hard life and rarely eats such dishes.

Lin Xiaoyue glanced at Henry Zhang, and sympathized silently in her heart.

Then, he got up.

Everyone looked suspicious.
