Chi Xingyue thought it was because of the volcanic eruption.
Thick clouds blocked the sun, the land could not absorb enough energy, and the temperature naturally could not rise.
That’s why the Great Yong Dynasty was so cold.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but shudder.
I want to remind everyone that there is no summer this year, but I can't bear to break such a warm atmosphere.
I had no choice but to lock the thought firmly in my throat.
Time passed little by little, and finally, the first pot of rice dumplings was cooked.
Aunt Taohua took out the rice dumplings, rinsed them with cold water, then peeled off the rice dumplings leaves and put them on a plate.
She was lucky and was the first one to peel the egg yolk filling.
Of course, there are only two kinds of fillings in one pot, either this one or that one.
Then I chose one with a different rope and put it on another plate.
Aunt Taohua wanted to continue but was stopped by Chi Xingyue.
They said they would let everyone try it first, but the old ladies might not be able to accept these two flavors.
When the old lady heard this, she looked disapproving, thinking that it was not like she had never eaten mooncakes with egg yolk and lotus seed paste filling, so how could she not accept rice dumplings with egg yolk filling.
The stubborn old lady scooped a big spoonful with a spoon, ate it calmly, and frowned slightly.
Chi Xingyue was particularly considerate and poured her a cup of tea. The old lady drank it all in one gulp, then extended the spoon to the sizzling fat meat.
Then he looked painful and waved his hands, indicating that he would never touch this damn thing again.
Chi Xingyue suppressed his laughter, thinking that the world in the book could not match reality.
If the old ladies and others could really accept these strange flavors, salty rice dumplings would have become popular in Jiangning Prefecture a long time ago.
Out of curiosity, the other members of the Ling family all tried it.
As a result, only a small number of people said that the taste was great, and the rest still preferred red dates and candied beans.
Okay, don’t force yourself. We have prepared a lot at home, you can eat whatever you want.
When the big pot of sweet rice dumplings was cooked, the Ling family was excited.
They squatted in a crowded manner at the door of the kitchen, waiting for Aunt Taohua's favor, and then left happily.
He licked the plate clean with some sugar and eagerly waited for another one.
This grand scene continued until the evening, with everyone rubbing their stomachs and saying, "ouch, ouch."
Doctor Cheng laughed at them for being greedy, but still prescribed medicine.
I asked Hongyu to help make two bowls, one bowl for each person, to speed up digestion.
Ling Jiheng put the freshly baked rice dumplings into a wicker basket, and when it got dark, he walked from the east end of the village to the west end to give holiday gifts to several families he was on good terms with.
There is a give and take, and those companies are also ready to send it here.
Since Ling Jiheng was here, they didn't have to make another trip. They handed the things to Jin Bao and asked a few questions about the conscription.
"I'm not sure. My family hasn't settled down yet. There's always a way out. Be diligent during this period. If you really end up on the battlefield, you can save your life."
Ling Jiheng's unified statement calmed many people.
The young men thought the same and started exercising more diligently.
When Ling Jiheng walked near the Han family, he heard heart-wrenching cries.
He paused and hid in the dark to investigate the situation.
Then I found that the men who had done the labor had returned.
After not seeing them for a few months, they had become thinner and looked as if they could fly into the sky with a gust of wind.
His face was unshaven and his skin was rough, completely devoid of his former elegance. His eyes were dull and lifeless, filled with a grayish hue.
The eldest grandson of the Han family even had a limp and walked with a limp, nothing like the young man full of vigor and vitality he once was.
Old Mr. Han was heartbroken and cried bitterly while hugging his children and grandchildren.
The women also felt sorry for their husbands and sons and wished they could die in their place.
The old man cried and said, "I didn't know that forced labor was so hard. If I had known earlier, I should have changed it to land tax like the Ling family did.
You can stay by my side and don’t have to suffer so much.”
Yes, knowing it earlier is priceless.
It was only after they went there that they understood why ordinary families had to do forced labor every three years.
It was a torture both physically and mentally, and it took a long time to recover.
Boss Han comforted his old father: "Dad, don't cry, at least we are back. People from the Chen and Li families died over there."
Upon hearing this, Mr. Han became even sadder.
How arduous must the work be to drive someone to death? He has harmed his son and grandson.
With tears in his eyes, he touched his eldest grandson's head as if he were touching some fragile porcelain: "Tomorrow, I will go and ask Old Man Ling for help.
Even if I have to kneel down before him, I will heal your leg."
The eldest grandson of the Han family had no hope for this, but he still thanked his grandfather.
Hearing this, Ling Jiheng shook his head and left carefully with Jin Bao.
I feel extremely complicated, with emotions like sighing, feeling suffocated and relieved.
After returning to the big brick and tile house, I said hello to the old lady and went back to rest.
After a simple wash, he and Chi Xingyue entered the space and had a big meal in the private room.
Chi Xingyue opened a bottle of red wine and toasted with Ling Jiheng to celebrate their wedding anniversary.
He also joked: "I never thought that I, a young man who insisted on late marriage and late childbirth, would get married early. It's incredible."
Ling Jiheng also laughed: "I never thought that after living a life of misfortune and shallow kinship, I would have a family again and marry a fairy."
Chi Xingyue raised his hand and took a sip of red wine, saying without any modesty: "Then you are very lucky, most people can't do it at all."
Ling Jiheng nodded: "I think so too!"
The two of them squeezed together the food already in the private room and added a few of the wedding banquet's finale dishes.
The table is full and looks appetizing.
The two of them ate and chatted until their stomachs were full, then they put down their chopsticks.
Chi Xingyue took Ling Jiheng for a stroll at the foot of the mountain. Looking at the waterfall pouring down from the mountain, he couldn't help but take a deep breath of the fragrance of soil and grass.
The two walked downstream along the river, and when they felt less bloated, they rode their electric scooters back to the Nanshan Village Police Station.
I also picked up two watermelons as a snack for the thugs.
Although raising them goes against the original idea.
But it turns out that they are quite useful and save me a lot of work.
The thugs have been locked up for so long that they have long since faced reality.
In this room, if you obey, you will get delicious food. If you resist, you will die.
Besides, Chi Xingyue is not some wild monster.
Although she doesn't look like a fairy, her methods of making people faint at any time are indeed not seen in normal humans.
They were puzzled.
Chi Xingyue parked his electric scooter and carried the watermelon to the detention room. Instead of giving them a knife, he handed them a metal spoon.
"Hey, you got a bargain! This melon is super delicious!"
Number One bowed happily to Chi Xingyue, while Number Two and Number Three kept saying auspicious words.
The others were not good at speaking, so they kowtowed to Chi Xingyue.
Chi Xingyue waved his hand and gave them a day off.
After receiving a string of grateful praise, he left humming a little tune.
I left the space with Ling Jiheng and went to sleep outside.
