Zhang Taohua was very quick and soon she had cooked the noodles and brought them in.
Song Lizheng smelled the aroma of the meat sauce on the noodles and was moved beyond words.
It’s better to be a wealthy family, they treat their guests with such high standards.
He has been the village head for so many years, and only this year did he make some money, and it was all from the exiles.
My stomach was growling with hunger, and I didn't care about being reserved. I picked up my chopsticks and started eating noodles in big mouthfuls.
Hmm, what kind of noodles are these? They’re quite chewy.
The meat sauce is also delicious. It’s such a big piece, it must contain about 100 to 200 grams of pork.
At the end of the meal, there was still an egg.
Song Lizheng had never seen such a real person. Could he be a bad guy?
He doesn't believe it!
After drinking the last mouthful of noodle soup, he pulled out a wrinkled handkerchief from his sleeve, wiped his mouth with it, and put it back in.
Just as he was about to speak, he burped and his face turned red.
It was only because Old Master Ling smiled and smoothed things over that the atmosphere became less awkward.
The three men drank tea and chatted until late at night, when Song Lizheng took his wife home.
On the way, he said, "The Ling family is really nice. They are both kind and generous."
On the other side, Ling Jiheng and Chi Xingyue ate hot noodles only after settling his parents.
However, the two of them had some snacks on the way, so they were not as tired and hungry as the others.
After dinner, the hot water that Erzhu had boiled was ready.
Ling Jiheng asked Chi Xingyue to take a shower, while he went to Courtyard No. 4 and the single room to check on how his subordinates were settled.
In Courtyard No. 4, Shu Xuhong chose the room on the west side and gave the room on the east side to Doctor Cheng.
Hongyu lived in the east wing, Zhaocai lived in the west wing, and Xing'er lived in the west ear room so that they could go in and take care of Mr. and Mrs. Shu at any time.
Ling Yi, Jin Bao, Yin Bao and others lived in the single rooms at the back. Ling Jiheng went in to take a look. Each single room was about 15 square meters, with a kang and furniture.
There are twenty rooms in total, but only twelve people live there.
Ling Jiheng said that quality is the most important thing about people, and these twelve people are equivalent to 120 people from other families.
Jin Bao took Ling Jiheng to visit the cellar: "Master, according to your instructions, we dried the grain and stored it.
Even if we do nothing, this food will be enough for us to live for three to five years.
As for these gold, silver and jade items, Yinbao and I will bring them to your room in the evening.
I can’t sleep at night if I put it here, for fear of losing it!
We also have cotton, coal, and cloth, and we have stockpiled a good deal of it, enough to last us through the winter.
Master, please take a look and see if there is anything missing. We will go buy it tomorrow!"
Ling Jiheng nodded: "Thank you for your hard work, store these and don't touch them for now.
Starting tomorrow, we will assign some people to go up the mountain to chop firewood and collect mountain products.
If the villagers ask, just say they heard on the road that there will be a heavy snow this year, so they should prepare winter supplies in advance.
Jin Bao was a little confused: "Master, is there really a blizzard?"
"About 80 to 90 percent. Jiangnan is already suffering from floods, so I'd rather believe it."
"Master, should this news be spread outside Qingshan Village?"
"Spread the word, save as many people as you can."
"Well, with disasters hitting various places this year, they should believe it!"
Ling Jiheng didn't care: "It doesn't matter whether you believe it or not, as long as we do our best."
After saying that, he laughed: "The day after tomorrow is Mid-Autumn Festival, right? Let's go to the county tomorrow to buy some peanuts, pine nuts, etc., and then we can come back and bake mooncakes.
You can buy whatever you like to eat, you are welcome."
Jin Bao immediately bowed and said, "Thank you, Master."
Seeing that everything was in order here, Ling Jiheng returned to Courtyard No. 3.
Chi Xingyue had already taken a shower and went back to the room to rest.
Baozhu cleaned the bathtub and boiled water in the small kitchen in the yard.
Erzhu is strong and is responsible for transporting water from the backyard to this side.
Seeing this, Ling Jiheng knocked his forehead speechlessly: "Why bother with all this effort? You've taken up such a wide road, don't you know how to push a cart?"
Erzhu rubbed his forehead and chuckled, "I've always lived in the backyard, so I'm used to it! Master, it's okay. I'm strong enough to carry it!"
Ling Jiheng didn't say anything. He went back to the room to get a change of clothes and went to the side room to wash up.
It was a very tiring journey. If it weren't for the little fairies giving them support from time to time, this group of people would have been seriously injured, if not killed half of them.
It can't be like now. At most I'm a little thinner, but it's not a big deal.
Ling Jiheng soaked in the warm water, recalling the scenes on the road, and couldn't help but smile.
I didn't get up until the water temperature gradually cooled down, then I washed my underwear and hung them on the clothesline outside the house.
Don't worry about the rest, Erzhu and Baozhu will take care of it.
Ling Jiheng returned to the house with wet hair, leaving water stains along the way.
Seeing that his clothes were all wet, Chi Xingyue said angrily, "Don't you see how cold it is at night? You still dare to blow the wind like this. Aren't you afraid of getting a headache when you get old?"
Then he took out a piece of cotton cloth from the cupboard and threw it to Ling Jiheng: "Wipe it dry before going to sleep."
Ling Jiheng smiled, pulled Chi Xingyue to his side, and said coquettishly: "Help me wipe it!"
Chi Xingyue didn't want to pay attention to it, but the stars in his eyes seemed to be able to drown people.
With a helpless sigh, he asked him to sit down, turned behind him, and used a towel to wipe the water droplets from his hair bit by bit.
She complained, "Everyone else's husband draws his wife's eyebrows and ties her hair, why is it different in our family?"
Ling Jiheng's eyes flashed: "How about I dry your hair for you from now on?"
Chi Xingyue didn't react and said directly: "Not very good, I have a secret weapon, which can dry it in a short time. If you use cotton cloth, it will take a long time."
Ling Jiheng sighed and felt that he needed to work harder.
He told Chi Xingyue about the situation in the backyard and described his plan: "This matter may be dangerous, but if it is done well, it can save many lives!"
Chi Xingyue paused and asked, "Can you guarantee that you can escape unscathed?"
Ling Jiheng smiled: "Not necessarily, I'll try my best!"
Chi Xingyue didn't say anything, but she felt uneasy as if a huge rock was pressing on her heart.
Ling Jiheng grasped her wrist, brought her to him, and held her on his lap: "You must have confidence in me. After all, I am the man who married the little fairy!"
Chi Xingyue rolled her eyes, pushed his face away with her hand, and went back to bed to rest.
Even with the spiritual spring water, it is still very tiring to sit in the car for a whole day.
If it wasn't inconvenient to live separately, she would have wanted to kick Ling Jiheng out of the house.
Unfortunately, her parents-in-law lived next door, and she was timid and did not dare to challenge the secular world.
It's quite nice, with a bed and a kang in the room.
Chi Xingyue propped up his own bed on the bed. As for Ling Jiheng, let him sleep on the cold and hard kang!
Just as I was thinking this, I saw Ling Jiheng lock the door, come over, sit down on the bed, and even wanted to move up.
"What are you doing? Go sleep over there!"
Ling Jiheng shook his head: "I won't!"
Chi Xingyue stretched out his foot to kick him, but Ling Jiheng dodged it nimbly.
The two of them were in a stalemate for more than ten seconds, and then Chi Xingyue gave up.
He moved inside and reminded her, "One quilt for each of us, and you are not allowed to snatch it from me!"
