"Yes, yes, yes, Xingyue must eat the first bite!" Shu Muyun also came over to cheer.
Chi Xingyue had no choice but to take the pomegranate from the old lady's hand, put it in his mouth and took a bite, and found that it tasted surprisingly good.
The old lady asked, "Is it delicious?"
"It's delicious, but it has too many seeds!"
The Ling family members covered their mouths and chuckled, making Chi Xingyue's face even redder.
"Okay, okay, you guys eat too, try these seasonal fruits." The old lady tried to smooth things over, and a group of people rushed up and picked out the fruits they liked.
The old man also came back at this time. Seeing the commotion at home, the discomfort in his heart instantly disappeared.
He got out of the car happily and asked the old lady what happened and why she was so happy.
"Xingyue said she wanted to give Heng'er a son!"
"That's a good thing, but don't be anxious, just let it go!"
Chi Xingyue nodded: "I understand, Grandfather!"
As he spoke, he rolled his eyes and asked, "Grandfather, did anything happen on the road?"
In one sentence, it attracted everyone's attention.
The old man sighed: "I didn't want to tell you this, but it's better to know than not to know!"
The old man did not mention that he saw injustice, but only said: "I heard that the locals in Dahe Village often bully the exiled people.
When you go out in the future, try to go in groups, never go alone."
Although the words were vague, everyone understood the deep meaning.
Chi Xingyue even recreated the scene at that time, thinking that it was because the old man did good things that the space was upgraded?
It seems she has to try asking the villagers!
After that, the group stopped talking about those depressing things. The old lady asked Nanny Chen to go to the backyard to call Ling Yi and the others, planning to have dinner together tonight.
This was the first festival for everyone since they settled in Youzhou. Zhang Taohua slaughtered the two chickens given by the headman early in the morning and stewed two pots of thick chicken soup.
There is also braised pork, which is pork belly bought from the county early in the morning. There are many people in my family, so I stewed more than ten pounds of it.
Zhang Taohua and her two children were busy from morning to night, steaming pot after pot of white rice.
Of course, Xiao He, Shun Zi, Ling San and Ling Si also came to help, otherwise this meal would not have been possible.
When it got dark, the Ling family moved the tables into the yard. The masters sat at two tables, and the servants sat at two tables.
The types of food on the table are similar, but the portions are obviously different.
However, no one complained, and everyone was laughing and waiting for the meal to be served.
The old man placed mooncakes and other items on the altar, and led his family to pay their respects before waving his hand and announcing that the meal was ready.
For a moment, the only sounds in the yard were the sounds of scrambling and swallowing.
Aunt Taohua is a very good cook, and Chi Xingyue feels that she is on par with the chef in the big kitchen.
Ling Jiheng picked up two pieces of chicken breast for the old lady and the old man, and directly picked up a big chicken leg for Chi Xingyue.
It’s just that the meat was stewed too soft, and when I picked it up, only bones were left.
Everyone made fun of Ling Jiheng, but Ling Jiheng just nodded calmly, took a spoon and scooped a large spoonful of chicken soup for Chi Xingyue, and put all the fallen chicken thigh meat into Chi Xingyue's bowl.
Chi Xingyue thanked him with a smile and picked up a piece of braised pork for Ling Jiheng.
The two of them don't lack these things on a daily basis, so just a simple meal to show their appreciation will be enough.
However, the two of them kept eating the roasted eggplant and pickled cucumbers until they were half full.
Afterwards, we sat in the yard and chatted, looking at the round and bright moon and reminiscing about the past.
That night, Chi Xingyue had a dream and returned to Nanshan Village.
Her colleagues were horrified after she collapsed.
I quickly called the emergency number and the doctor from Nanshan Village Health Center arrived within five minutes and gave her first aid.
However, half an hour passed and her heartbeat still did not recover.
No one gave up, and more and more people prayed for her.
But life is so tragic, Chi Xingyue died in the end.
The autopsy said it was caused by overwork and alcohol stimulation. A few light words summed up her life.
The local residents expressed their gratitude for her contributions to Nanshan Village and spontaneously held a memorial service.
Eggs, bacon, vegetables, fruits, flowers, and thank-you letters filled the Nanshan Village Government.
There were even netizens from all over the country who came to contact Chi Xingyue's parents and donate money and supplies.
The Chi family is considered a wealthy family in the local area. They do not accept donations or interviews.
It’s not that I don’t love my daughter, but my heart aches so much that I can’t accept this fact at all.
Chi Xingyue came to his father and called softly, "Dad!"
Thinking no one heard him, Father Chi suddenly looked up and looked at the empty room: "Yueyue, are you back, Yueyue?"
Chi Xingyue nodded: "Dad, I'm back!"
"Wife, did you hear that? Yueyue is back!"
Mother Chi thought Father Chi was having a hysterical fit. Just as she was about to say something, she felt her palm get slightly cold. It turned out to be Chi Xingyue holding her hand: "Mom!"
"My daughter, where have you been? How could you bear to leave us old couple and go away?
I asked you to quit that job a long time ago, but you refused. Look, you even risked your life for Nanshan Village.
Girl, is it worth it? "
Chi Xingyue didn't say anything, because she didn't know if it was worth it. Maybe, if you have an ideal in your heart, just do it!
When the old couple calmed down, Chi Xingyue talked about his time travel: "Dad, Mom, I didn't die, but I traveled through time just like what was written in the novel.
I am doing well now. I have enough food and drink and I am married.”
Chi's father and mother nodded and wanted to ask something, but Chi Xingyue floated away from the Chi family uncontrollably.
"Mom and Dad, I'm leaving. Take care of yourself and don't let me worry. Yueyue will always love you!"
As if he had experienced the long river of time, or traveled through a passage of time and space, Chi Xingyue heard someone calling him. He opened his eyes and saw that it was Ling Jiheng.
At this moment, she couldn't hold it back any longer, tears streaming down her face, her sobs filled with inexpressible grievances.
Ling Jiheng didn't understand what was going on, but he still hugged the person in his arms to comfort him.
It was a long time before Chi Xingyue stopped crying. Her eyes were swollen like walnuts. She buried her head in her knees and didn't want to speak.
"Want to go out for a walk?"
Chi Xingyue hummed, took out a tissue from the space to wipe away her tears, and applied some facial cream to prevent chapping. Then she wrapped herself in a cloak and followed Ling Jiheng out.
The moonlight sprinkled on the ground, as if it was covered with a layer of white frost. The cool night wind blew on his body, and Chi Xingyue unconsciously wrapped his cloak tightly around him.
The noise of the two men woke up Erzhu from his light sleep. He came out in slippers, took a look, and asked in a low voice, "Master, do you have any instructions?"
Ling Jiheng shook his head: "It's okay, let's go for a walk, you go back to sleep!"
Erzhu returned to the house after hearing this. Ling Jiheng opened the latch of Qingfeng Courtyard and strolled with Chi Xingyue in the passage connecting several courtyards.
The wind blew the shadows of the trees, making the scene even more peaceful. Chi Xingyue raised her hand, wanting to catch the moonlight.
