One and a half months...
Is what Dr. Cheng said what he thought?
But isn’t Jinglan’s body unable to get pregnant?
Could it be that the soil and water of Daqing Mountain are so nourishing?
Questions echoed in his mind until Doctor Cheng called out, "What are you standing there for? Why don't you help your wife go back and rest?"
Only then did I come back to my senses.
I settled the person down on the kang, but I still didn't understand what had happened.
If Chi Xingyue knew, he would definitely be surprised at the effect of the spiritual spring water.
This is really restoring my body. I don't know if I will have another brother-in-law.
The news of conscription spread to every corner of Youzhou City, but the Zhou family army arrived later than expected.
On April 15th, news came from the county that the ban in Youzhou City was lifted.
After more than three months of tension, people cheered and went to restaurants to eat to their heart's content and to brothels to enjoy the company of beautiful women.
Everything was so lively, like singing and dancing.
Chi Xingyue even disguised herself and went to the teahouse to listen to music for half an hour.
The melody was so mellow that it made one's bones melt. It was a pity that she couldn't appreciate it.
When she returned to the village, she went to the grocery store to pick up the fruit trees that the boss had found for her. There were dozens of them, filling up three ox carts.
When I returned to Qingfeng Courtyard, I took out a few trees from the space and replaced them while no one was paying attention.
Then have someone plant it in an open space near the house.
That’s right, Ling Jiheng bought the land near the house. Although the wall has not been built yet, the surrounding five acres of land all belong to their family.
It’s not that I don’t want to buy more, but Qingshan Village is so small. If I let him buy all of it, there will be no space left for others to buy land and build houses.
Ling Jiheng didn't bother about it. After planting the fruit trees, he didn't even build a fence.
The villagers watched the excitement for a while and then went back. After all, they had no spare money to cultivate their sentiments.
However, from that day on, there were happy events in the village from time to time.
Wedding invitations were sent to the Ling family like water, and the old lady would send a gift every time, sometimes a piece of cloth, sometimes a few pounds of meat.
I also had dinner with the old man several times, but I always felt that I was out of place with the villagers.
It's nothing else, I'm just too reserved and can't compete with others, so I never get to eat meat.
Later, it was Ling Jiheng and Chi Xingyue. Bored, they attended several weddings.
In order not to steal the limelight from the newcomers, she always dresses herself in a grayish manner.
After a few times, Chi Xingyue got fed up and would rather go to the fields to pull weeds than join in the fun at the wedding.
As the days passed, Chi Xingyue was surprised to find that many strangers appeared in Yunrou County.
As for how she recognized them, well, it was very simple. Those people were covered in dust, but they were not beggars.
Some are even very generous, spending hundreds of taels of silver notes at a time, either to buy houses or land.
After asking around, I found out that he had escaped from somewhere else.
The Great Yong Dynasty was at war everywhere, and all armies were recruiting soldiers.
Those places are not as humane as Youzhou. All males, except the old and the young, go to the battlefield.
Some people with tricks have come out, but the world is so big, there is no place for them to stay.
After much thought, only Youzhou can bring a moment of peace.
After arriving here exhausted and settled down, I found that they were also recruiting soldiers.
But unlike other places, you only need to provide two male children to settle down here with peace of mind.
After some hesitation, these people agreed. Some were kept in the capital, while others were exiled to Yunrou.
Chi Xingyue encountered this several times in the county, and after knowing the reason, he didn't care.
Unexpectedly, these people were assigned to the village.
As soon as they arrived, someone wanted to live in the Ling family, saying that it would take time to build a house and they could pay money to stay there.
The old lady refused outright, thinking that her family was not short of money and there was no need to attract a bunch of annoying people.
Unexpectedly, this resolute attitude made the visitor unhappy, and he shamelessly said that he would make the Ling family look bad.
Such an arrogant attitude made the villagers unhappy.
No one told them that the Ling family was the gold nugget in the village and should not be provoked.
After such a commotion, the Ling family was in a bad mood.
But I'm not afraid at all. At worst, I can just kick them out.
They have already established their foothold and cannot be shaken by these newcomers.
Of course, there were also some well-educated and well-mannered people. Chi Xingyue knew at a glance that they were a family of scholars.
If someone respects me an inch, I will respect him a yard. For this kind of situation, the Ling family will also help, but they always keep a sense of proportion.
On the fifth day of May, the weather was hot and humid, and the Ling family was rarely happy.
It’s simple, just celebrating that I’m still alive.
A year ago, the Ling family suffered a great change. If it were not for a capable descendant, it would have fallen apart long ago.
Who could have thought that their house was raided and they were exiled thousands of miles away, yet now they can sit in the yard and eat peacefully.
No one can imagine such a contrast.
During the Dragon Boat Festival, Chi Xingyue went to the county in advance to buy glutinous rice and rice dumplings.
To be honest, these two things are quite difficult to buy. On the one hand, there are not many people growing glutinous rice, and there was a drought last year, so there was not much harvest.
Secondly, the county’s grain reserves were almost monopolized by wealthy households.
It’s not that they are really so selfish and unwilling to give the poor some breathing space.
But the poor simply will not buy this kind of improved food. They prefer to choose brown rice, black noodles and the like, which can fill their stomachs and are not expensive.
The little bit of glutinous rice at home was bought by her after going to several grain stores and paying a lot of money.
Therefore, I understand why the two bowls of Yuanxiao during the Lantern Festival are so expensive.
The glutinous rice and rice dumplings were soaked right after they were bought. In addition, Chi Xingyue also contributed red dates, red beans, lotus seeds, peanuts, and chestnuts.
No one in my family is good at making rice dumplings.
In order to prevent the rice dumplings from being dismembered before they are cooked, Aunt Taohua drove away the young and old from the Ling family and wrapped them in the yard alone.
Each one takes a few seconds, and the movements are extremely smooth.
Chi Xingyue looked for a while and then returned to Qingfeng Courtyard. When he came out again, he took two things: salted duck eggs and bacon.
Aunt Taohua didn't understand why, but Chi Xingyue asked her to make some special ones - egg yolk dumplings and bacon dumplings.
I was still thinking, isn't it true that people in the south like this, so why do the Ling family from Jiangning Prefecture like to eat sweet rice dumplings?
Of course, she didn't ask. She just happily put the rice dumplings tied with the flower string into the pot, brought them back to the kitchen, and put them on the fire to cook.
The Ling family's eyes lit up when they smelled the fragrance of rice dumplings floating in the air.
I think Chi Xingyue's creations must be top-notch. Those egg yolk and bacon dumplings must be delicious!
The family sat in the yard and chatted, and talked about the situation in Youzhou City.
"Do you think it's because we're so far north that it's not hot even in early May?"
"I think so, but the difference is too big. Last May, it was so hot in Jiangning Prefecture that I was sweating."
Chi Xingyue nodded, thinking that when the house was searched last year, it was the worst drought and the temperature was close to 37 or 38 degrees.
It's too hot even in summer clothes.
But now, in Yunrou County, Youzhou, the temperature is only 17 or 18 degrees Celsius during the day. When a breeze blows at night, everyone feels cold even wearing spring clothes.
