Springtime Farming: A Happy Wife At Home

Chapter 2087: Everyone’s Blessing

Each year, a designated individual would meticulously select the plumpest grains from the harvest to be preserved as seeds, ensuring an ample supply for future planting. To err on the side of caution, they would stockpile even more seeds than necessary.

Qiao Xuan, accompanied by Shao Yunduan, inspected the crops once more before utilizing her extraordinary abilities to bolster the seeds’ viability, ensuring a bountiful yield.

Each family would be entrusted with their own seed preservation, with Qiao Xuan even imparting the knowledge of making potato noodles to many households. Capitalizing on this skill, some entrepreneurial individuals established potato noodle workshops, catering to those unwilling to prepare the dish themselves—a venture that proved quite lucrative.

Encouraged to plant potatoes, new residents received seeds from Qiao Xuan at a nominal price of one copper coin per catty. Each family could purchase up to 20 catties, essentially obtaining the seeds almost free of charge.

As they immersed themselves in various preparations, time flowed by like a swift river.

By the first month of the lunar calendar, Jia Heming wasted no time. He promptly instructed the refugees who had chosen to return to their hometowns to depart from Anze Province.

In addition to the silver, each departing family received 20 steamed buns as provisions.

Despite having spent the previous days preparing for their departure, the refugees bound for their hometowns felt an intensified longing as their departure approached. Their yearning for home was palpable, genuine, and deeply felt.

Yet, as the moment of departure loomed, many couldn’t suppress a pang of regret. They felt a profound reluctance to bid farewell, their eyes welling with tears and throats constricting with emotion.

These individuals had endured unimaginable hardships—fleeing from catastrophe, enduring hunger, cold, ridicule, and disdain as they wandered aimlessly. Their tales of suffering could fill three days and three nights. It was only Anze Province that offered them refuge from the storm, providing a haven of peace amidst their darkest days.

Lord Shao’s benevolence knew no bounds—he had gone above and beyond for everyone’s sake.

Such kindness was unparalleled; no other lord would have shown them such compassion.

Overwhelmed with gratitude, someone led the departing refugees to the government office, where they knelt and kowtowed, tears streaming down their faces as they expressed heartfelt thanks to Lord Shao. In a poignant display of unity, everyone present joined in, kneeling and kowtowing, their collective cries of gratitude echoing in the air.

Witnessing this scene, Jia Heming and his colleagues couldn’t help but be moved to tears. They silently acknowledged that Lord Shao belonged to everyone—his benevolence was a shared blessing.

Within a day, all the refugees had departed Anze Province, embarking on their journey homeward in familiar groups, filled with renewed hope.

The news struck a chord with Shao Yunduan, stirring emotions within him.

His actions stemmed solely from the inherent kindness of being human; he felt undeserving of such praise.

As the weather gradually warmed and Chunyu passed, farmers busied themselves with planting beans, melons, and tending to seedlings. Every day was filled with hope and meticulous care, as the year’s harvest relied on these diligent efforts.

By mid-February, the farmland had been meticulously arranged, leaving Songshi, Liu Fu, and others to tend to the remaining plots. Qiao Xuan planned to return home with Anan, Zhao Shu, and Taotao, while also assessing the situation in Yuzhang.

Adopting a low-key demeanor, they disguised themselves as ordinary businessmen, accompanied by Ah-Ye and other intermediates serving as their attendants.
