Seeing her like this, Chi Qiao didn't say anything more, but simply said:

"Okay, you must take this to heart. We're leaving now!"

After saying that, she got into the carriage.

Anyway, by the twelfth lunar month, Wang Qiaoya will have come of age. Aqing will be able to get married at the end of the first lunar month of the following year.

According to Xiaoyu, there probably hadn't been an earthquake yet at that time.

If the people of Wangwanli stockpile more firewood and reinforce their houses, they should be able to weather the freezing rain and blizzard.

Even if some people freeze to death, it probably won't be many.

As for the earthquake next year, she'll find an opportunity to remind them when the two children get married!

The Chi family set off again at the crack of dawn, and arrived just before dark.

Chi Yu was exhausted at this moment, and because her second sister-in-law was in the same car, she didn't even have a chance to go into her space to rest.

When the carriage stopped, she felt herself shaking violently, as if her whole body was falling apart.

Fortunately, Zhuangzhuang is still young and does nothing but eat and sleep, so he doesn't seem to be feeling unwell, which saves everyone a lot of trouble.

Seeing her like this, Chi Qiao quickly reached out to help her up: "Xiaoyu, are you alright?"

Chi Yu was pale, and even the ground beneath his feet felt unreal. Hearing this, he nodded weakly.

"Sister-in-law, I'm fine, don't worry!"

Seeing her like this, Huang Dani, who was holding the child, felt sorry for her and quickly said, "We're home. Come on, let's go back and rest."

The house had already been tidied up, and the heated kang (a traditional brick bed) was the first thing to be installed.

After saying that, she carried the child and walked ahead, then entered the old house under the gaze of everyone.

The old Chi family residence is located in the upper village of Chijia'ao, near the lower village, which is equivalent to being between the two villages.

When Chi Yu saw the old house, all that came to mind were the original owner's memories.

Influenced by this, a look of nostalgia flashed in his eyes.

This is where the original owner lived when she was a child. After her parents passed away, although she moved between her brothers' homes, she still stayed here quite a bit.

Later, when she got married, she left from this very place.

Returning now feels like stepping back in time!

Chi Qiao helped her into the house and headed straight for the main room.

Meanwhile, Huang Dani, who had come in first, had already placed Zhuangzhuang on the kang (a heated brick bed).

Upon seeing her, he waved and said, "Little Fish, come quick! Aden's wife has already heated the kang (heated brick bed) and is cooking in the kitchen right now!"

Chi Yu was in no mood to care about anything else at this moment. After seeing the heated kang bed, all she wanted to do was lie down.

She was so tired, so very tired. She didn't know if it was because she had just finished her postpartum period, but she simply couldn't handle this kind of exhaustion.

She preferred to take the shortcut up and down the mountain rather than take the long way by carriage.

My God, this is going to kill her!

Chi Qiao noticed her discomfort and, seeing that the baby didn't need feeding at the moment, waved to Huang Dani.

"Second sister-in-law, let Xiaoyu lie down for a while, let's go check on the kitchen!"

Huang Dani remembered that there were still more than a dozen people waiting to eat, so she hurriedly followed them to the kitchen.

When the two of them arrived at the kitchen, Chen Xiaomai and Chi Ye's wife, Liu Lingling, were already inside.

Upon seeing Chi Qiao approach, Chi Deng's wife, Liu Mei, said:

"Mom, my aunt and cousin just got back today. Let's just set up a couple of tables here tonight as a little homewarming party for my aunt."

How about we treat everyone who helped out to a proper meal tomorrow at noon?

"Alright! Since this is supposed to be a housewarming party, let's not do anything haphazardly."

Apart from the three rickshaw drivers, everyone else was one of our own family members.

Tonight I'll make stewed radish, braised pork with dried green beans, braised wild rabbit, and stir-fried eggs with wood ear mushrooms.

By the way, do you have any pheasants at home?

If not, go see if anyone in the village has one, we'll buy one and stew it for your aunt, she still needs to breastfeed her baby.”

Liu Mei hurriedly replied, "I bought it! My sister-in-law specifically told me this before she went to the county town with you."
