"Thank you, I heard it's a rule set by the new magistrate that anyone who wants to visit can pay ten coins to do so, but people like Dashan can only be visited once."
"Yes, it seems that not all prisoners can be visited."
"Of course, otherwise things would be in chaos!"
The two families chattered excitedly as they discussed the matter.
It was already quite cold in the eleventh month of winter.
They could go and deliver two cotton-padded coats to Da Shan and the other person.
"These five bamboo rats are quite plump. We'll stew two and eat them, and give the remaining three to Dashan and the others tomorrow."
Of course, we can't just give it to our son; we also need to give it to others as a token of respect.
With a radiant face, Sister-in-law Chi pulled her sister-in-law from her own family to go cook.
Shi Hongxing was enjoying the peace and quiet, and took advantage of the moment to secretly pull Chi Erchuan to another room...
The others were busy with the charcoal making and didn't notice them.
"It's on fire! It's really burning!" Chi Shuxing shouted loudly.
The others, seeing the flames in the charcoal brazier, also became excited.
The hard work of the past ten days or so has not been in vain!
Chi Tang hurriedly shouted, "Stone monkey who carries charcoal, get some boatmen!"
When using charcoal fire, you should open the windows a little.
Otherwise, it could easily be fatal.
"Boatman?"
"The window?"
"right!"
Chi Tang nodded happily, and gave Xiao Wu a "well done" look.
Brother Wu grinned broadly, as if he had received the greatest honor.
Silang and the others secretly thought to themselves that next time they would definitely be there before their uncle!
"Girl, why do you want to open the window?" Old Man Chi asked curiously.
In the dead of winter, wouldn't opening the windows let in a draft?
Chi Tang said seriously, "If we don't open it, people will die!"
To appear quite serious, Chi Tang tried her best to keep her round face expressionless.
only……
Just imagine, a chubby, white face like a steamed bun, trying hard to put on a serious expression, it's just...
"Pfft, my little aunt is so cute."
Silang looked at Chi Tang and couldn't help but kiss her.
Little Lockhead also gave a kiss.
Goro looked around. Were they all relatives?
"I want to kiss Gugu too!"
He hugged Chi Tang's head and kissed her.
Chi Tang, whose face was covered in saliva, was utterly devastated!
Did I do something wrong?
Why did you come and kiss her over something so serious?
"I've never heard of this before..."
"Let's do as Tangtang says, otherwise if something really happens, it will be too late to regret it."
The adults' focus is what Tangtang is looking forward to.
Chi Tang sighed.
Thank goodness.
The adults are still reliable.
"Ahem, but there's still some smoke here. I don't think the young ladies of the Prince's Mansion use any."
“Try different kinds of Su!” Chi Tang shouted.
Different tree species produce different types of charcoal.
She didn't know exactly what kind of tree species was used to make charcoal that produced no smoke or dust.
"How can we give it a try? Let's try this little bit of charcoal ourselves tonight. If it really makes us warm, we'll go to town tomorrow and see if we can sell it."
"good!"
Perhaps it's because there might be new ways out.
Perhaps it's because I'll be able to see Chi Dashan and Li Mingfan tomorrow.
Both families were very happy.
Even Shi Hongxing showed a smile after a long time.
When the fragrant bamboo rat was served for dinner, a group of children scrambled to eat it.
Even the doctor who lives at home couldn't resist eating an extra bowl of rice.
"Sister-in-law Chi's cooking skills are truly remarkable," Doctor Li praised.
He had also been to restaurants in the capital. Although Sister Chi's cooking skills could not compare to those famous restaurants, they were more than enough compared to ordinary restaurants.
Sister-in-law Chi blushed, somewhat embarrassed: "Not at all, it's just that you think too highly of me."
"Seriously, with your skills, you could open a small restaurant in the capital."
"Then I'll take your kind words."
Speaking of which, the Li family's ancestors also ran restaurants.
However, Old Man Li didn't learn it, while Sister-in-law Chi learned it from her own grandfather.
By the time Li Mingfan's wife entered the family, the grandfather had already passed away, so now only Sister-in-law Chi had learned some skills.
As for the Li brothers, they simply didn't have the talent.
After clearing away the dishes, Aunt Li secretly spoke to her daughter about it: "...You two usually cook together, so why don't you teach your sister-in-law?"
It's not reasonable for someone surnamed Li to forget their family's craft in the end.
Sister-in-law Chi was stunned for a moment, then suppressed the bitterness in her heart and nodded heavily: "Mother, don't worry, I will teach my sister-in-law well. If she doesn't have the talent, I will teach her when Leshan and Leshi get married."
"Good boy, good boy."
Aunt Li patted her daughter's hand and hurried back to tell her own daughter-in-law.
Standing at the kitchen door, Sister-in-law Chi forced a smile, told herself not to be petty, and then went to get busy.
Life is already full of disappointments; if you overthink and dwell on them, won't life just be nothing but suffering?
But at this moment, Sister-in-law Chi suddenly missed her husband very much.
It feels really good to have someone to lean on.
"Snap!"
Tears fell into the dishwashing basin, while the cheerful laughter of children drifted from the room next door, separated by only one wall.

Early the next morning, Old Man Chi and Old Man Li took Chi Sanhe to sell charcoal.
