Ha, ha, ha, how embarrassing! She's not even an adult yet, why would she want to have a child?
Chi Xingyue smiled and changed the subject: "When the time comes, I'll knit one for you and dad!"
Shu Muyun was not polite at all: "As for your grandparents, we don't care what happens to them, let's focus on the two old people first!"
Chi Xingyue nodded: "I understand!"
After the meal, Chi Xingyue slipped away. When he came to the yard, he saw Ling Yi and the others coming over after finishing their meal.
The main force going up the mountain today was Ling Jiheng's men, so all the harvest was brought to Qingfengyuan.
A group of people did a simple sorting, removed the bad fruits and other things, and figured out how to store the rest more conveniently.
Chi Xingyue thought of the candied haws in the space and immediately asked Baozhu to make syrup.
When I was washing the hawthorns, some of the ones from the space got mixed in. They are easy to spot, they are the big red ones.
Fortunately, it was dark, and no one was paying attention to this place. By the time Baozhu came over to take over, Chi Xingyue had already mixed the hawthorns.
Ling Jiheng also sharpened the bamboo sticks. As for when he prepared the bamboo, well, not long after he built the earthen oven, he went up the mountain to cut a few bamboos.
I'm thinking of using it for barbecue or oden in the future.
For this purpose, he also broke off a lot of bamboo shoots, sliced them, blanched them in water and dried them. After soaking them in winter, they would become another dish.
In order to deal with the legendary extreme cold weather, the two of them put in a lot of effort, and the people in the county were also in panic because of this rumor.
It was only spread in a small area at first, but because Youzhou was located in the north, no one took it seriously.
I thought the refugees from the south might be afraid of the snow and were being a bit extreme.
Later, the price of food secretly increased, and the folding flower stands became popular, all of which showed that the rich were secretly preparing.
Some people who didn't believe it asked their relatives and friends, and all they got was the excuse that it was just a precaution.
In addition, those who fled here have experienced various natural disasters, such as extreme cold and blizzards, which are a foregone conclusion.
Cao Dashan and his friends' spread of the rumor only added fuel to the fire, causing even more unrest in Yunrou County, where people were already restless.
The news even spread to other counties and spread throughout Youzhou.
Yu Tingzhang had just returned from outside when he heard his family members whispering among themselves. Upon asking, he learned that such a big event had occurred in Youzhou City.
He immediately returned to the government office and ordered an investigation, filled with righteous indignation: "Whoever is spreading rumors must be arrested to serve as a warning to others!"

Chi Xingyue took the candied haws on a string and gently rubbed them in the syrup, and a string of candied haws was ready.
But you can’t eat it yet. You have to wait until the syrup cools down.
Baozhu was asked to call Shurui, Weiwei, Minghao, Mingyue, Shitou, and Lanlan. As a result, the adults from several courtyards all came to join in the fun.
Fortunately, there were plenty of candied haws prepared, and they were sour, so one string per person was enough.
The children were all very excited to see something delicious. The adults were also very excited, as they had rarely eaten such a sour fruit before.
I took a bite and it was so sour. I chewed it with the syrup and it was so sour and sweet, so delicious.
The hawthorns produced by Chi Xingyue's space added a lot of color to this bunch of fruits, and everyone was impressed by the sweet and sour taste.
It’s this small courtyard that’s a bit special.
There were several large basins in the corner, with someone unknown soaking in them. On the windowsill of the side room, there were cigarette boxes and mooncake molds.
The old lady was curious and asked.
Shu Muyun proudly showed off to everyone, "My Xingyue made these. She said she wanted to make soap and wool. Young people are smart and have ideas. Maybe they can make something special out of it."
Geng Suhua and Liang Zhijun praised with a smile, unable to contain their envy.
Shu Muyun enjoyed such a gaze very much, and inadvertently pulled up the sleeve of his left hand, revealing the high-quality ice-type floating flower bracelet inside.
Then there was another round of praise, and the old lady said that the second daughter-in-law was a little arrogant.
But he calmly pulled down half of the green circle.
Time passed little by little, and Qingfengyuan returned to peace again.
Chi Xingyue returned to the space, took a shower, and came out to sleep. After a good night's sleep, the next day was another beautiful day.
Chi Xingyue had just woken up and ran out excitedly. The soap she made yesterday had already solidified, but she decided to wait a few days before removing it from the mold.
As for the wool, the water turned black after soaking it overnight.
Chi Xingyue took out two pieces of pig pancreas soap bought in the county town and asked Erzhu to wash the wool.
I found a few nails and made tools.
After all, Chi Xingyue is a grassroots cadre. Although he is not proficient in many things, he has studied them.
After some hammering and banging, I finally made a simple wool combing machine.
After finishing his work, Erzhu also washed the wool.
Chi Xingyue pulled the mushrooms on the rope together, freeing up a large area to hang the wet wool on.
It should have been dried, but there was no dryer, and it was difficult to control the temperature of the fire, so Chi Xingyue chose the safest way - drying it in the sun.
Then we packed up and headed up the mountain with the others. By the evening, the wool would be completely dry. Then we could proceed to the next step.
Today was another fruitful day. Chi Xingyue brought back all the pine cones from the mountains. In addition, he also added a lot of hawthorns and autumn pears.
As we were coming down the mountain, we noticed many villagers were reinforcing their houses, and we couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. We felt that we were well prepared and could minimize the losses.
After dinner, I went to the yard to check the wool. I found that the wool had been washed very clean, and it had regained its original color. After beating it, it was fluffy and soft.
I went to Rongsiyuan and asked the old man and the old lady what colors they liked, and also asked for the opinions of my parents-in-law.
Finally, it was decided to spin a pure white one first to see the effect, and then produce it in large quantities to prepare for the Ling family.
So they lit a few more oil lamps in the yard to illuminate the small space, and then used a simple carding machine to comb the wool.
Every time I combed the wool, a piece of it was picked up. Every time I combed the wool again, another piece was picked up.
Then take it down and fold it together to make a thin wool quilt.
Repeat several times to clean out the weeds and some bad hair inside, and then use a comb to comb it into wide and long strips.
The next step is to twist the yarn. Twist the long strips together, stretch them, and twist them at the same time. Repeat this process and you will get a thin, strong wool yarn.
Finally, combine the three strands into one strand, and you have the wool yarn that can be used to knit a sweater.
After Chi Xingyue was sure that Erzhu and Baozhu had learned it, he gave them the spinning task.
The moon was at its zenith, and I was feeling a bit tired. I stood up and stretched, only to find my neck and waist were stiff.
After saying hello to the two of them, he returned to the house. He went into the space to drink some spiritual spring water and took a shower. When he came out, he was pulled by Ling Jiheng for a massage.
Neck, lumbar spine, calves, he was surprisingly skilled. The force was neither too strong nor too weak, and soon Chi Xingyue fell asleep.
