FARM GIRL TURNS EVERYTHING AROUND: SLY HUSBAND, LET'S FARM

Chapter 839: Chapter 839 Returning the Letter_1

After buying piglets and sheep, Qiao Xiaomai and Tong Sanlang drifted to the Academy again.

This time, they brought some Dried Sweet Potatoes and Mooncakes. Tong Sanlang wanted to ask the head of the Academy some questions, while Qiao Xiaomai was there to inquire about the follow-up on the Mooncakes she had sent previously.

Qiao Xiaomai greeted the head of the Academy and then went to find Xiaoyang, the guard, with Qiao Dami carrying the Dried Sweet Potatoes and Mooncakes.

The guard, Xiaoyang, was not there; the Maid said he had gone out.

Qiao Xiaomai waited for a while, and around noon, the guard Xiaoyang returned, carrying a large package in his hand.

Seeing him like this, Qiao Xiaomai knew what he had been up to.

…

He must have gone to the post station.

The guard Xiaoyang, seeing Qiao Xiaomai, was very happy, “Oh, Miss, what a coincidence! Just in time, there’s a letter for you! From Xiezi Island.”

“Did Brother Ya reply?”

“Yes, and there’s this big package.” The guard Xiaoyang placed the package on the table, “It must weigh fifty pounds.”

“It’s a return gift,” Qiao Xiaomai said with certainty.

“Definitely.” The guard Xiaoyang patted the package, “I reckon the letter is inside this package. Go back and open it yourself.”

“Alright.” Qiao Xiaomai agreed and then asked, “Didn’t Lord Wang reply?”

“No, he must be busy.”

The guard Xiaoyang shook his head.

“The roads in other parts of Daqi are not as good as the route from the Capital City to Bailu Town. He’s been constantly on the move; he must be very tired.”

Upon hearing this, Qiao Xiaomai blinked.

She had traveled to the Prefecture City before and had spent five days in a horse-drawn carriage, which was indeed tiring. If Yang Ye had to travel all over Daqi like this…

It must be exhausting!

Thinking it over, she said, “So, where is Lord Wang now? Can I send him something?”

“Of course you can. What kind of good stuff do you have this time?” The guard Xiaoyang laughed.

“I haven’t thought it through yet.”

“You should think quickly. Lord Wang has indeed been working hard recently. He would be delighted if you sent him some food you’ve made.”

Qiao Xiaomai nodded her head.

What to send him…

Unable to think of anything on the spot, Qiao Xiaomai got up to say goodbye.

Concerned that she couldn’t carry the large package by herself, the guard Xiaoyang insisted on delivering it to the head of the Academy’s Courtyard for her.

After lunch at the home of the head of the Academy, where Qiao Xiaomai, Tong Sanlang, and Qiao Dami ate, Tong Sanlang continued to seek advice from the head of the Academy. It wasn’t until almost evening that the three of them left the Academy.

The delay had been long; Shopkeeper He would not be able to check on the firebed today.

After greeting Shopkeeper He and asking him to find time to go over, the three of them hurried back to the manor on an ox cart.

At the manor, the piglets were in the pigpen, and the sheep were in the Sheepfold. Qiao Changshun, Qiao Zhaodi, and Qiao Yindi were cooking pig feed.

To these three, silver was not as delightful as the tangible piglets; having too much silver made it feel elusive, but the fat piglets were solid and real. Twenty of them huddled together, becoming ever more pleasing to the eye!

And the ten sheep, now they could go herd sheep!

Imagining themselves holding a whip and driving the sheep to graze, all three felt content in their hearts.

These were things they could not have gotten before, and now suddenly, they had so many. Joy abounded!

Since these three were so focused on the livestock, Qiao Xiaomai’s worries were eased. After a simple dinner, she opened the package from Ya Wuxia.

At the top of the package was a letter wrapped in parchment. Beneath that were two burlap sacks, one filled with dried fish, the other with dried shrimp.

His family, bordering Xiezi Lake, had these as their specialty.

Qiao Xiaomai handed the letter to Tong Sanlang, and looking at the dried fish and shrimp, she smiled, “I’ve thought of what to send Yang Ye.”
