Zhuangzi was not big, and there were only a few tenant households living there. On weekdays, they also live far away, so they don’t often bother Bai Yanqing and the others.) Except in the early years, when Bai Yanqing and the others first came here, there were a few troublemaking tenants who would come to Yan Qing and the others from time to time. Despite the quarrel between the master and the servant, in the past few years, he had been quite law-abiding and rarely bothered Bai Yanqing.
Bai Yanqing also recognized these tenants, and they were not big women who did great evil. Every year when the rent was being collected, Bai Yanqing would usually say a few nice things to them and reduce or reduce the rent. Perhaps in order to express their gratitude to Bai Yan, they have treated Bai Yanqing warmly in the past few years. Every harvest season, they will send some home-grown fruits and vegetables to Bai Yanqing.
Isn’t this? Knowing that Bai Yanqing was back, they sent a lot of seasonal fruits early this morning.
"Miss, this..."
Picking vegetables all over the yard, I fell into a tangle.
Yun Qi went to Beijing beforehand, and Yuan Ziyue followed him. Now here, there are Bai Yanqing, Cai Xing and Yuan Li! How could the three of her eat so much?
"Were they all sent by you?"
Bai Yanqing looked at the baskets of vegetables and fruits with a smile on her face. It's hard for some tenants to still remember her.
"Isn't that true? Those tenant farmers, knowing that you are back, young lady, rushed to deliver these one by one. Even the servants couldn't stop you!"
Although Cai Xing complained on his lips, his hands were not idle. She happily sorted the vegetables and fruits in the yard one by one, then packed them into baskets.
"It's just... there's so much, even if we eat half of it, we can't finish it."
Cai Xing felt a little pain. She was really worried that these vegetables would go bad and these fruits would rot.
Bai Yanqing knelt down and looked at the fruits carefully, and then said to Cai Xing, "These fruits are quite good. It will be easier to store them if you make them into jam."
Hearing this, Cai Xing's eyes suddenly lit up and he sighed that this was a good idea!
Cai has always been a person who says that wind is like rain. Now, after Bai Yanqing reminded her, she immediately rolled up her sleeves, picked out the fruits, selected some with beautiful shapes, and poured them into the water.
"Miss, please don't get involved, Yuan Li and I can come! After all... you should be... weak and unable to take care of yourself!"
Caixing pushed and chased Bai Yanqing away.
Before Yun Qi left, he specifically told Bai Qing not to show that her body had returned to normal. Because...according to Yunqi, the emperor will definitely send people to keep an eye on this place secretly. Therefore, Bai Yanqing must never show such a lively look!
Bai Yanqing had no choice but to find a chair and sit aside, basking in the sun while talking to Cai Xing and the others.
I saw the star picker, carefully wash the fruits one by one, then wipe them dry with gauze, and finally put them in a ventilated place to dry. When the water on the fruit dries, crush the fruit one by one with your hands, sprinkle with sugar and marinate. When the marinated water comes out, pour them all into a casserole and simmer over low heat.
"Xing, why do you have to cook it in a casserole? Can't you cook it in a big iron pot?"
Yuan Li looked at the fruit pulp in the casserole and asked with some confusion.
"The jam cooked in an iron pot is not of good color and has a faint smell of rust, which affects the taste."
Cai Xing patiently explained to Tong Yuan Ji while stirring the pulp with a wooden spoon.
Yuan Mingran nodded, without thinking, there are so many ways to make jam.
Because when making jam, you have to stir constantly to prevent it from sticking to the pan. After a long time, Cai Xing felt a little tired. So, she called Yuan Li over and asked her to help stir the jam, so that she could take a breath and drink water slowly.
Taking advantage of Yuan Li's help, Cai Xing poured a glass of water, took a rest, and walked around the entrance of the courtyard for a few moments to relax.
"Miss! Miss! Miss!"
Caixing, who had just walked to the door, turned around, ran towards Yan Qing, and then shouted to Bai Yanqing with a nervous face!
"What's wrong?"

Bai Yanqing frowned and looked at the reckless Cai Xing, feeling a little helpless)
"Master! Master!"
Caixing swallowed, and then shouted to Bai Yanqing anxiously.
master?
Bai Yanqing was stunned for a moment, then as if she remembered something, she stood up suddenly and ran towards the door!
Even though they were far away, Bai Yanqing still saw that the figure of the galloping man looked so familiar. A muddy country road, with mud splashed everywhere by horses.
Caixing stepped forward, supported Bai Yanqing who was a little unstable, and then stood with her at the door to welcome Bai Jingxuan's arrival!
Bai Jingxuan's horse quickly stopped at the entrance of the courtyard, its hooves trampling the tranquility of the countryside.
"Father, come here!"
Bai Yanqing held Caixing's hand, trembling slightly. She had dreamed of such a scene many times before. After all, she is still here, waiting for her father to come.
Bai Jingxuan dismounted sideways and looked at the dilapidated courtyard in front of him, feeling a little sad. It turns out that his daughter has lived in such a place for so many years!
"Your aunt and younger aunt are also behind. They will arrive in about half an hour!"
Bai Jingxuan sighed secretly, and then spoke.
Hearing this, Yan Qing was stunned for a moment, then nodded obediently and led Bai Jing inside.
"Caixing, are there any more fruits from the tenants? Pick some fresh ones and give them to my aunt and little aunt to try later!"
Bai Yanqing turned around and gave instructions to Cai Xing. Cai Xing nodded in agreement, and then hurriedly prepared tea and snacks.
Not long after, Caixing walked in with hot tea and snacks. After putting down his things, Cai Xing wisely stepped out. She knew that Bai Yanqing and his daughter must have a lot to say.
"My daughter, there is no good tea here. Father, please don't dislike it!"
Bai Yanqing started to pour a cup of tea for Bai Jingxuan, and then put it in front of him respectfully.
Bai Jingxuan glanced at the clear tea, but there was no sound. For a moment, the atmosphere was a little awkward.
I don't know how long it took, until Bai Yanqing was about to doze off, before Bai Jingxuan spoke coldly.
"Do you think of me as your father?"
Bai Jingxuan's words took Bai Yanqing for a long time, but she didn't even realize what he meant.
"You have never been raised by my father since you were a child, and my father knows that he is ashamed of you, but... before you make any big decisions, can you discuss it with your father? My father... is also very worried about you! "
Bai Jingxuan spoke with a straight face, but it was not difficult to hear the concern in every word.
It was only then that Bai Yanqing suddenly realized what his father meant when he spoke! He... is caring about himself!
"Father……"
Bai Yanqing's eyes were slightly hot. For the first time in many years, she felt Bai Jingxuan's eagerness because he cared about her.
"Miss, Mrs. Bai and the others are here!"
Just when Bai Yanqing was at a loss and didn't know how to respond to Bai Jingxuan, Cai Xing's call came from outside the house!
"Father, go out to meet your aunt and the others!"
Bai Yanqing slowly got up, said something to Bai Jingxuan, and then ran out quickly.
Looking at the living daughter in front of him, Bai Jingxuan had mixed emotions.
"Aunt, little aunt, sister Zhi, you are here!"
Bai Yanqing greeted him with a smile and took Lai Zhi's hand cordially.
"The road here is really difficult! Last night, it rained lightly again. Even the carriage wheels could hardly turn on this muddy road!"
Lai Bizhi glanced at the carriage helplessly and muttered softly.
"However, if I can see my sister well, no matter how bumpy the road is, it is like a broad road in my eyes!"
Lai Bizhi's eyebrows were curved, and her eyes could not hide the joy.
"My sister's mouth is getting sweeter now! No wonder my sister can make my aunt and uncle so happy!"
Bai Yanqing smiled and teased Lai Bizhi, then turned around and bowed respectfully to Bai Furong and Li Qinru. (This chapter is not finished yet!)

We haven't seen each other for a long time. These courtesy are not polite, but respectful.
"Yan Qing has lost weight!"
Li Qinru took the lead and took Bai Yanqing to look up and down, and finally couldn't help but speak. As soon as the words came out of her mouth, her eyes turned red!
"Mom, you're here again! You promised to come to visit my sister, but your behavior is making my sister feel uncomfortable!"
Bai Junzhi came out from behind Li Qinru, but after not seeing him for just a month, Bai Yanqing felt that Bai Junzhi had grown taller!
"Auntie, let's go into the house and talk. The wind is blowing wildly in the countryside!"
Bai Yanqing wiped the corners of her eyes, cheered up, and said to Bai Furong and Li Ru.
The few people didn't show any pretense and walked towards the courtyard. The dilapidated courtyard made everyone feel even more sad!
After everyone entered the room, Yan Qing ordered Cai Xing and Yuan Li to serve tea and snacks...
"Little aunt, aunt, this is the loquat sauce that Cai Xing has boiled. I soaked it in water for you. You can try it! This moisturizes the lungs and clears the throat! It also has pear juice in it to reduce dryness and moisturize. It is best if you drink it during the season. !”
Bai Yanqing asked Caixing Li Qinru and Bai Furong to soak the loquat sauce in water. Because she knew that as the two of them got older, they would inevitably have dry coughs from time to time in autumn, so she specifically asked Cai Xing to soak the lozenges in water for them!
"Brother Jun, sister Bizhi, this is Taojiang's tea, it's good for your mouth. I think you will like it."
Bai Yanqing asked Yuan Li to serve Bai Junzhi and Lai Bizhi, and also served fruit tea. As soon as you open the lid of the teapot, you can smell the sweet aroma of peach, sweet and sour fruit tea, which is most suitable for teenagers and girls to drink. The sweet taste is very much like their youth.
"It's hard for you to have a bad intention!"
Li Qinru took a sip with a smile, and the sweet and sour loquat fragrance, wrapped in the sweet pear fragrance, slowly slid into her throat. The dry and itchy feeling in the throat was instantly relieved.
"Auntie still likes it?
Seeing that Bai Furong had not spoken since getting off the car, Bai Yanqing took the initiative to ask.
"I like it, I like it. Yan Qing prepares it with great care..."
Seeing Bai Yanqing taking the initiative to talk to her, Bai Furong was a little excited, but she still suppressed her excitement and spoke slowly. Her slightly trembling voice still inadvertently revealed her nervousness and panic at the moment)
"Look back, I asked Cai Xing to pack a few jars of jam and take it back! These are all tenants here. The jam made from newly picked fruits is always fresh! You can't buy anything like this outside!"
While Bai Yanqing was talking to Bai Furong and the others, she asked Cai Xing to serve them some freshly made snacks.
The conditions here are not as good as those in Baifu, but here, the fruits and vegetables you can eat every day are all fresh!
Everyone was sitting and chatting about their daily life, Bai Yanqing was rarely busy. While she told Cai Xing to cook quickly, she also asked Yuan Li to help Cai Xing, fearing that if they were too slow, everyone in this room would not be able to have lunch!
