Chapter 24: Eating



The car was running very fast. After it was far away from Zhuangzi, the two stopped and sat on the side of the road to rest.

Chi Xingyue took out two bowls of rice from the space, one with braised pork and broccoli, and the other with bean sprouts, shredded pork, tomatoes and eggs.

"Eat it quickly!" This was made by the cafeteria chef. If the land had not been refreshed, she would never share it with others.

Ling Jiheng picked one at random, took it, and started eating it in big mouthfuls.

People in later generations were willing to use more ingredients when cooking. Compared with the light food of the Yong Dynasty, the rich and oily sauces were obviously more to his taste.

Chi Xingyue was tired and hungry after a busy day. He ate a whole meal and still felt unsatisfied.

He took a bunch of grapes from the space, washed them briefly, and began to eat them. Ling Jiheng saw them and felt a little greedy, but he didn't ask for any.

Chi Xingyue certainly wouldn't treat him unfairly, after all, he had given her so many treasures. She placed the basin in the middle and invited him to join her.

"My lady, do you have the fairy fruit I saw last time?"

Chi Xingyue paused and said mysteriously, "You also said it was a fairy fruit. How can a fairy fruit appear casually?"

Before the watermelon greenhouse was refreshed, it was impossible for her to give the few pieces in the private room to Ling Jiheng.

Although Ling Jiheng felt regretful, he did not force it.

He quickly finished eating the grapes, and told Chi Xingyue to take out some dry food before getting on his electric scooter and getting back on the road.

Even though they walked for a long time during the day, it didn't take them long at all with the electric car.

It didn't take long before we arrived at our destination.

Chi Xingyue took the electric scooter back to the village committee compound, released the horse and tied it to a tree. He and Ling Jiheng walked closer to the main group before making some noise.

After waiting for a while, they saw two figures, one tall and one short, walking towards them. They seemed to be going to relieve themselves.

Ling Jiheng pressed Chi Xingyue's small body into the grass, and only pulled her out after seeing the face of the person coming clearly.

Chi Xingyue then realized that the visitors were actually two strangers. They were dressed similarly to her and Ling Jiheng, and their appearance and figure were somewhat similar.

"Master, Madam!" The visitor bowed politely.

Ling Jiheng nodded: "Thank you for your hard work!"

"It's not hard. It's an honor for Hongyu and me to serve the master." Ling Yi lowered his head, his attitude very humble.

The younger Hongyu looked at Chi Xingyue with curiosity: "Madam looks younger than me."

Ling Yi frowned immediately: "Hongyu, don't be rude!"

Ling Jiheng waved his hand: "No need to be so strict. When you're out and about, just be casual. Okay, you two can leave first and proceed according to the plan."

"Yes!" After saying that, the two of them left quickly.

Chi Xingyue whispered, "They look very powerful, with the aura of martial arts masters!"

Ling Jiheng smiled but didn't respond. He pretended to have just gone to the restroom and returned to the resting area with Chi Xingyue.

The fire had gone out, and the sun had not yet risen. In the darkness, only a few figures could be seen.

Chi Xingyue came to Shu Muyun and happened to meet his open eyes. She was so scared that she almost screamed, but her body reacted quickly and she covered her mouth in time.

He quietly sat down and asked in a low voice, "Mom, why aren't you asleep?"

Shu Muyun rolled his eyes: "What else can I say? How can I feel at ease if I don't see you guys come back?"

Chi Xingyue smiled shyly. She didn't expect to be caught by her mother-in-law on her first attempt. She took out a small bag of cakes from the package and stuffed it into the other party's hand: "Eat it quickly!"

Shu Muyun smelled the familiar sweet fragrance and smiled brightly. Fortunately, their place was remote, otherwise, they would definitely be discovered by others.

She didn't even call Ling Weicheng, she just started eating. She had been exercising so much that day that she was so hungry that she couldn't even sleep.

Because of this, I discovered that my son had taken his daughter-in-law away. I thought they were just making out, but who would have thought that two strangers would come over, lie down next to them, and fall asleep.

Shu Muyun was stunned, but he didn't dare to shout. Otherwise, wouldn't his son be labeled a fugitive?

After a few seconds of panic, she calmed down. She knew her son was capable, and perhaps this was his plan. All she could do was provide cover.

The lotus seed paste cakes were fragrant, but a bit choking. After three, Shu Muyun felt that he had had enough.

He took out the water bag and drank some water before waking Ling Weicheng up. Before he could react, he stuffed the lotus seed paste into his mouth.

"Hmm~Hmm~~" Ling Weicheng was startled, but his attention was soon attracted by the sweet taste of the lotus seed paste.

His eyes were wide open, with a look of disbelief on his face.

By the time he finished eating all the pastries, the old man and the old lady had almost finished their meal.

Ling Jiheng settled them down before heading to the third room and the Shu family. He quietly woke one of them up and gave them a large white steamed bun. After they finished eating, he called another one.

In this way, half of the Ling family had their fill. After eating and drinking their fill, they felt sleepy again.

After they fell asleep, Ling Jiheng went to find Ling Weiyuan.

Although the Ling family's eldest branch wasn't as complicated as the other branches, it still had its fair share of ulterior motives. Gu Youlian, in particular, was a troublemaker, constantly causing trouble.

Chi Xingyue suspected that she was so sensitive because her husband had taken a concubine. Although such a person might be pitiful, being relied upon was a disaster.

Let Ling Weiyuan take charge of the arrangements. After all, it is their family matter.

Ling Jiheng and I were already very loving by sharing our gifts. We couldn't spread our holy light all over the earth.

As expected, the eldest wife's family wasn't as harmonious as the others. Geng Suhua kept asking where the steamed buns came from, while Gu Youlian was trying to eat rice from the concubine's son's mouth.

Ling Jiren couldn't bear to see her mistreating the child, so he shared his steamed buns with Ling Minghao. This made Gu Youlian unhappy, and she almost got into a fight with Wan Chunqin.

It was the uncle Ling Jiyi who protected his nephew and gave half of his steamed bun to the other party.

Wan Chunqin shed tears of gratitude and gave her steamed bun to Ling Jiyi.

However, Ling Weiyuan stopped him and said sternly, "No matter if it's Mingyue or Minghao, they are all children of the Ling family. As the offspring of the Ling family, they cannot be treated harshly, and they must not die on the road.

From today on, legitimate and illegitimate children will be treated equally. Anyone dissatisfied can leave the Ling family."

Although Gu Youlian was dissatisfied, she did not dare to go against her father-in-law.

If I stay here, at least I have something to eat. If I am divorced, I am afraid I will be sold.

It was finally quiet over there, and Chi Xingyue fell asleep leaning on Ling Jiheng's shoulder.

I'm so tired, but also so excited. Chi Xingyue dreams of collecting and collecting, almost moving the entire Jiangnan area away.

Suddenly, there was a noise. It turned out to be Gao Hongbin calling for people to get up.

It was still dark, with only a hint of paleness appearing in the east.

People who get up early start cooking, and the rumbling sounds of their hungry stomachs can be heard from two miles away.

The Ling family members looked at each other, and everything was said without words.
