Peaceful Farm Life

Chapter 1246: Chapter 1247: I’ll Leave After Watching You Go In

An Jing spent time with the children while chatting with Su Haoyu, and during the conversation, she also brought up Su Chengyuan.

Su Haoyu was very happy to hear that Chengyuan had become a soldier by his own merit.

As time went by and the sun gradually set, it was also the time when An Jing planned to part with the four little ones and return to the military camp.

But as soon as the four kids heard that An Jing was leaving, they clung to her legs, unwilling to let her go.

An Jing also didn’t want to leave the children, but she had responsibilities to shoulder now; she had to return to the military camp.

”If you don’t let your mother go back, when it gets truly dark and the night roads become difficult and unsafe, what will we do if something happens to your mother?”

Upon hearing An Jing say this, the four little ones immediately let go of her legs, their young voices anxiously blurting out: ”Mother, please go, don’t travel at night, we don’t want anything to happen to you, we don’t want anything to happen to you.”

An Jing’s heart softened even more; she bent down to hug the four little ones before turning to leave.

Xiao Changyi then rode a horse to escort An Jing back to the camp.

By the time Xiao Changyi took An Jing to the entrance of the women’s military camp, it was already completely dark.

It was finally An Jing’s turn to worry about Changyi.

”Be careful on the way back,” An Jing instructed.

”Okay.”

”Hurry back, the kids are waiting for you in the palace.”

”Okay.” He paused, ”You go inside first, I’ll leave after I see you enter.”

”Alright.” An Jing first tightened her fingers interlocked with Xiao Changyi’s, then released them with a smile.

There were guards at the entrance of the military camp; this was a military camp, not a place for flirting, so they just held hands for a moment.

”Be careful on the road,” An Jing reminded him again.

”Okay.”

An Jing then turned and entered the camp.

Once inside the gates of the women’s military camp, she raised her hand high and waved toward Xiao Changyi, smiling as she said, ”Husband, hurry back. You’ll be coming over again tomorrow anyway.”

”Okay.” Xiao Changyi then turned to mount his horse, took another look back at An Jing, and rode off.

An Jing watched as the figure of Xiao Changyi disappeared from her sight before she turned to head to the military camp’s cafeteria for dinner. It was dinner time at the camp, but to her surprise, as soon as she turned around, she saw Ye Zhi, who was looking at her with a teasing expression.

”What are you doing? You startled me!”

Ye Zhi chuckled twice before saying, ”Boss, you were so focused when sending off your brother-in-law. I walked up to you so loudly, and you didn’t even notice. But, Boss, every time you’re with your brother-in-law, you seem as if you’re soaked in a jar of honey, it really makes me so envious, jealous, and hateful. So I came to scare you a bit, to see if I could actually frighten you. And look, you indeed got startled. Haha, now I feel a bit better inside.”

An Jing gave her a sidelong glance: ”I knew you, as a singleton, wouldn’t feel at ease. What, are you so free, Gong Juechen isn’t sticking to you?”

”Don’t even mention him!” Ye Zhi said irritably, ”I just barely managed to avoid him, and happened to see your brother-in-law escorting you back. By the way, you haven’t had dinner yet, have you? Let’s go, I saved you some roast lamb from lunch.”

”Thanks!” An Jing patted Ye Zhi on the shoulder before heading off to the cafeteria to eat dinner.

After eating dinner, An Jing stayed in her tent for a while before joining Ye Zhi to check on the rooms.

Now, the ten new recruits had all been arranged by Ye Zhi to sleep in the same tent.
