If it was time to eat, she would have no objection if the two elders did not want to ask to eat alone.
When it was time to eat, just go to the old people's yard together directly.
Living separately like this, not only He Zhiran liked it, but Mo Jiuye also liked it equally.
Ask which man doesn't want to have a place to spend time with his wife alone?
Especially He Zhiran, who had to go in and out of the space every day. Now that she had her own yard, it would be more convenient.
The elder brothers and sisters-in-law felt the same way, they all felt that their own little home was now warm and comfortable.
This night was the most comfortable night since the Mo family came to Xiling Village.
Living in a special large yard, sleeping on a large bed, and most importantly, the whole family was together without losing anyone.
The next morning, the whole family got up early and gathered in the old couple's yard.
On the one hand, the old people did not say they wanted to split up the family and eat alone, on the other hand, it was also to see off the Seventh Elder Brother who was going to the southern border.
Although on the surface Seventh Elder Brother's trip to the southern border did not seem to have any danger, He Zhiran was still careful to prepare a lot of self-defense items for him.
For example, drugs that can quickly take care of enemies when faced with a large number of enemies.
In addition, the antidote pills from when she went to the capital with Mo Jiuye were also essential.
In addition, He Zhiran also prepared some jerky for him, which was easy to eat on the road.
Seventh Elder Brother took the items she had prepared, bid farewell to his family, and rode away without daring to look at his wife's reluctant eyes.
While Seventh Elder Brother went to the south to find his former subordinates, He Zhiran was also not idle on her side.
Since she had already said that she would train a thousand troops, she had to produce gunpowder as soon as possible, otherwise, a thousand soldiers would really be unable to resist the enemy country's army or the people sent by Emperor Shunwu, just as her adoptive father worried.
Seeing her send off Seventh Elder Brother and then return to her own yard, Mo Jiuye hurried to catch up.
"Ranran, are you going to research grenades?"
The young couple chatted for a while in the space last night, and He Zhiran told Mo Jiuye about her plans.
No one was more aware of the power of this weapon than Mo Jiuye.
Even though his wife said that the weapon she planned to make was not as powerful as a grenade, and could be called a bomb, it would still be an invincible existence in this era.
Mo Jiuye looked forward to this more than anyone else.
When the two returned to their own yard, they flashed into the space.
Although He Zhiran knew the raw materials needed to make gunpowder, in order to increase the success rate, she still planned to ask the little collector for help in finding the exact formula on Duyu.com, so that she could avoid some detours here.
Nowadays, the little collector catered to He Zhiran's every need, after all, she was his big client.
Soon, he sent the exact formula in the chat box.
He Zhiran got the formula and asked Mo Jiuye to copy it on Xuan paper with a writing brush and give it to Fifth Elder Brother.
Among the several elder brothers at home, Fifth Elder Brother was the most meticulous one, and He Zhiran was most at ease with leaving the production of gunpowder to him.
Of course, Fifth Elder Brother could not do it alone. He called on Eldest Brother, Second Brother and Third Elder Brother to join him.
Fourth Elder Brother also wanted to participate in this matter.
He always felt that he had become a useless person after Ninth Younger Brother saved him.
Although he could walk a few steps when supported now, his legs still felt weak and he had no strength at all.
Fortunately, his hands had recovered seventy to eighty percent, and there was no problem as long as he didn't use too much force.
Thinking that Fifth Brother was going to make weapons, even if he couldn't stand for a long time, he could at least do some work with his hands.
However, the location for making gunpowder was chosen on the mountain to avoid harming the innocent. In addition, He Zhiran also considered the high probability of explosions occurring during the production of gunpowder. If it was too close to the residential area, it would easily damage the buildings.
Because it was on the mountain, Fourth Elder Brother's original plan to participate was no longer feasible either. With his legs, he certainly couldn't let his brothers carry him up and down the mountain!
Helplessly, Fourth Elder Brother had to give up the idea.
On the first day the brothers went up the mountain to research gunpowder, they did not make adequate preparations and came back before dark.
The next day, they gained experience and brought a lot of food to stay on the mountain to continue their research.
He Zhiran and Mo Jiuye knew that it was best not to disturb them while making gunpowder, so Mo Jiuye did not go up the mountain to take a look either.
He had been out for more than a month this time after going out and coming back.
It was now early June, and the vegetables and fruits in the fields were beginning to ripen one after another.
For example, melons. Sixth Elder Brother went to check early in the morning and came back saying that the sweet aroma spread everywhere. He saw one split open and picked it to taste it, and it was as sweet as honey.
Since returning from the Western Regions, He Zhiran had not been to check on the melon field.
After hearing Sixth Elder Brother's description and calculating the planting time, the melons should be ripe now.
Mo Jiuye was currently busy dealing with matters regarding the site for raising poultry and livestock, so He Zhiran called Lan Er to go with her to check on the melon field.
Nowadays, the cultivated land of the Mo family was taken care of by hired help, only those special melon fields were guarded by the dogs, and checking was also done by their own people.
It wasn't that He Zhiran didn't trust those hired people, after all, melons and watermelons were rare treasures in this era, and she planned to sell them for a good price.
Although these villagers were all honest, no one could refrain from touching such edible things placed before their eyes.
Especially the melons, they were not very big. Stealthily tucking two under the arms and taking them away would not be noticed by anyone.
Therefore, the melon fields were managed by their own people.
Supported by Lan Er, He Zhiran was still some distance away from the melon field when a sweet scent rushed up to meet her.
"Ninth Madam, there was no such fragrance last time I accompanied you here!" Lan Er was obviously somewhat excited.
She had accompanied the Ninth Madam to check on this melon field countless times, so she had watched these melons grow up.
And she would often go down to the field to do weeding and other chores, so she was naturally happy that the melon field she had carefully tended was now bearing fruit.
When the two came close to the melon field, the sweet scent became even stronger.
Seeing the master, the dogs guarding the field wagged their tails and gathered around.
He Zhiran patted their heads, then took Lan Er into the melon field.
Judging from the appearance of these melons, half of them were already ripe.
He Zhiran picked a nearby one and shared it with Lan Er.
After taking a bite, Lan Er enjoyed it with her eyes closed.
"Ninth Madam, the melon is really sweet, much more delicious than the fruits in the palace."
The Fourth Princess treated her and Yu'er like sisters, and would share any delicacies with them, so Lan Er had tasted the top fruits of this era.
