Erzhu brought over the pig pancreas and said, "Madam, the county only slaughtered two pigs today. I bought the pancreases from both pigs. Do you think it's enough?"
Chi Xingyue nodded: "Let's do this for now, and buy some more when we have time."
The weather is cool now, and the things won’t go bad if they are left until tomorrow. Chi Xingyue decided to wait and see when he gets up tomorrow.
"By the way, what about the wool? Did you buy it?"
Erzhu scratched his head. "No one in the village has ever sold wool alone, so they sold the sheep as well. There are seven in total, all kept in the backyard. There's a ewe among them, and she's about to give birth."
Chi Xingyue gave a thumbs up and said, "Well done. Let's go to the mountain tomorrow to cut some grass and dig a pit to store it."
Chi Xingyue briefly explained the principles of silage and asked Erzhu to lead the others to try it out. "It doesn't matter if we fail. Those sheep will probably be our winter rations."
Erzhu licked his lips, feeling a little greedy.
Chi Xingyue asked again: "Have you fed them?"
Erzhu nodded. "After being fed water and grass, the lambs are adapting well."
Chi Xingyue hummed, "From now on, except for the pregnant ewe, the rest will not be given water or food. If the weather is good tomorrow afternoon, we will shear their wool."
Erzhu said he knew, asked a few more questions, and then went to pour water for the two of them.
Chi Xingyue rubbed his stiff neck and was about to bolt the door when he remembered his mushrooms.
He immediately called out to Baozhu, "Baozhu, string the mushrooms together with a rope and hang them in the yard. Go and warn the other yards so they don't get suffocated."
"Second Young Master's Madam, I understand!"
Baozhu trotted to deliver the message, and when she came back, she took out the persimmons from the basket and put them away. She tied the mushroom stems with a rope, tied them into a long line, and hung them on the hemp rope in the yard.
The hemp rope in the yard was very high, and on it were not only a few freshly washed clothes, but also dozens of strings of persimmon cakes hanging to dry.
Ling Jiheng reached out and kneaded Chi Xingyue's neck, and stopped only when she felt relieved.
The voice was somewhat bewitching: "Do you want to take a bath?"
Chi Xingyue was a little tempted, but Ling Jiheng used that bathtub more often.
Ever since the main room and the ear room were connected, she went into the space to wash up every night.
I didn’t feel anything about it before, but now I just think this statement is extremely ambiguous.
Her face flushed slightly as she said in a low voice, "No need. I'd better go back to the fairyland to wash up. Well, I need to be busy for a while, you go to sleep first!"
After saying that, he flashed and entered the space.
I took off my heavy coat and went to the bathroom to take a shower. I sat in the dormitory for a while before coming out.
I went to other offices and searched my colleagues' cabinets, and finally found three bottles of perfume with different scents.
Chi Xingyue took the perfume downstairs, dropped it into natural pigments of different colors, and stirred it with chopsticks.
Then I rode my electric scooter to the peach forest, found a few branches of peach blossoms in full bloom, picked them up, and placed them next to the bowl of pigment, waiting to add them to the scented soap tomorrow.
After finishing his work, he went to the Household Registration Department again and found that the words "Database loading" were still on the computer screen, so he slipped out of the space.
Chi Xingyue felt that the difficulty of the upgrade task in the third-level space was simply insane. It was not that it was difficult to complete, but that it was unpredictable.
Initially, she thought it was related to Cui Wan'er, but it turned out to be less so. She tried other avenues, but to no avail. The household registration department's appearance was even more inexplicable.
Do I really have to go with the flow and look at my mood to get the complete Nanshan Village Police Station?
So when will she be able to get her bulletproof vest and electric baton?
He stood there in a daze for a long time, not noticing Ling Jiheng walking towards him from the ear room with his shirt open.
He bent his index finger and tapped her brow lightly, bringing her back to her senses before asking, "What are you thinking about?"
Chi Xingyue shook his head and was about to speak when he discovered something unusual.
Her eyelashes fluttered, and after struggling for a few seconds, she raised her hand to grab Ling Jiheng's collar and said, "Pay attention!"
Ling Jiheng chuckled, not really caring. Chi Xingyue, however, glared at him.
I thought to myself, even if I wanted to flirt with someone, I couldn't do it this way. Although her soul was that of an old aunt, her body was only a teenager, not yet of legal marriage age.
What's more, this guy didn't even re-define the relationship between the two.
Even though Chi Xingyue knew that this was how his life would be, who would be willing to follow the other person blindly?
She is not someone who cannot live without a man!
Seeing that she was angry, Ling Jiheng stopped teasing her. He straightened his clothes and restored his well-dressed appearance. No one could tell that there was a beast hidden under his clothes.
Chi Xingyue yawned and went to bed, and Ling Jiheng followed suit.
He turned around and blew out the oil lamp, then reached out and held the person in his arms, and teased: "We are so familiar with each other, is there any need to be so formal?"
In the darkness, Chi Xingyue rolled his eyes and thought to himself, how familiar could they be since they had never been honest with each other.
Even though they slept in the same bed, they were still wearing clothes. The distance was very close, almost like hugging a teddy bear.
Seeing that she was silent, Ling Jiheng sighed and said, "Go to sleep!"
***
The autumn rain gets colder with each passing day. The night wind blows, turning yellow the struggling green leaves on the branches and blowing away the flimsy thatched roof.
The son and daughter-in-law of the Li family at the village entrance had just finished exercising when they felt a chill in the room. They looked up and saw the moon!
The old lady of the Ma family, who had just been scolded by Song Lizheng two days ago, did not make any preparations at all because she did not believe in the extreme cold.
As a result, I was woken up by the cold just as I fell asleep.
Thinking it was raining again, I hurried to take shelter, only to find that there were only a few straws left on my roof.
There are a few families in the village who are not disbelieving but are too poor to afford to hire someone to renovate their house.
I was hoping for a lucky break, but the wind blew all night and I felt dizzy before dawn.
After stumbling and struggling, he found the old doctor in the village and used the only copper coin he had to buy two prescriptions of medicine. Only then did he feel a little better.
In comparison, people living in cellars are much luckier.
Most of them have roofs made of wood or stone, which will not move at all when the wind blows.
Aside from the dim lighting, there's nothing wrong with it. Even the temperature inside is a few degrees higher than in a normal house.
It was raining today, so Cui Wan'er didn't go out to work. She went to the mountains to pick some mushrooms to dry, and was lucky enough to find a Ganoderma lucidum.
Cui Wan'er quickly plucked the Ganoderma lucidum and put it in her arms. Without lingering outside, she said goodbye to the others and went back.
Let Cui Shouqing take it to the county to sell it, and then buy some food for the winter. I stayed up all night waiting for him.
"Wan'er, open the door!"
Cui Wan'er was thinking about something when she heard a series of small noises at the door.
He quickly opened the door and saw two bags of grain next to Cui Shouqing and Cui Jingzhong.
Both of them had happy expressions on their faces because that Ganoderma lucidum was exchanged for ten taels of silver.
It's just that the price of grain has gone up recently, and ten taels of silver can only buy this little bit of fine grain.
Although it did not meet expectations, the Cui family was satisfied.
After all, it’s a windfall!
The atmosphere here is warm, but some people in the capital are so worried that they can't sleep.
