As she walked, she added, "Sister-in-law, Brother Qin and the others must have suffered a lot to get here."
Could you please help me boil some water and prepare it for the kang (heated brick bed)? Also, could you please heat up the other room with the kang for me?
Second sister-in-law, although we cook a lot of food tonight, Brother Qin and Brother Shen are both big eaters.
Could you help watch over the making of some pancakes?
"And Third Sister-in-law, could you make me some fish porridge using the fish that Second Hammer Brother brought?"
After saying this, as she passed by Chi Erchui, she tossed out a sentence: "Brother Erchui, I'll send you the money for this fish later."
Also, you don't need to mention it to your clan leader.
Brother Qin and Brother Shen are our guests; we'll go pick them up!
Chi Erchui nodded to her, then took all the fish out of the wooden bucket.
When I finally left, I only took the smallest one with me.
Chi Yu doesn't need to worry about Zhuangzhuang; the boy has two nieces-in-law looking after him, so she's at ease.
When she arrived at Tiger Head Cliff, her brothers and nephews were escorting Qin Mu and Shen Kai this way.
It was already dark by then, but it was still faintly visible in the reflection of the snow.
Chi Yu held a lamp in each hand, the strips of cloth clutched in her palms.
As she got closer, she saw, under the light, that both Qin Mu and Shen Kai had tears in their eyes.
I even felt like I couldn't open my eyes properly.
She knew it was snow blindness, so she said, "Brother Qin, Brother Shen, you've been in the snow for too long, your eyes must be hurting."
Now close your eyes, tie them with this cloth, and come with us without worry.
At this moment, Chi Yu was completely blurry in Qin Mu's eyes.
Despite the intense stinging in his eyes, he chose to believe unconditionally and immediately closed them.
Shen Kai knew the nature of the Chi family, so after Qin Mu's eyes were bound, he also closed his eyes.
When they returned to Lao Chi's house, the dishes on the table had already been reheated.
Originally, Chi Qiao wanted to call people for dinner upon their return, but after seeing Qin Mu and Shen Kai's condition, she changed her words to:
"Ah Ye, it seems that the Qin family's young master and the Shen family's young master are not doing well."
Mother has heated the kang (heated brick bed) in the west wing. You should take the people there to wash up first, and then have something to eat.
By the way, given their condition, they shouldn't eat too much meat and fish; they need something lighter. You can feed them some porridge and pancakes.
Your second and third aunts have already prepared all of this.
After saying that, she looked at Qin Mu and said, "Qin Mu, you and Brother Shen Kai should rest first. We can talk about anything else later when you've both recovered."
Qin Mu did have a lot to say. He and Shen Kai had traveled a long way to come here not only to spend the New Year here, but also to finalize their marriage with Chi Yu before the New Year.
Even though he and Lord Fang had done their best to minimize the death rate in these disasters.
Despite these successive disasters, many people still died in Anping County.
That's not all; there will be earthquakes next year.
Even Anping County, which was well-prepared, suffered so many deaths; one can only imagine what happened in other places.
As far as he knew, if the population plummeted again next year, the imperial court would definitely issue an order to force eligible men and women to get married.
If a couple does not get married within three months, the government will force them into marriage.
He didn't want to be in such a passive position, so he wanted to finalize the marriage beforehand.
It would be best if the imperial court didn't issue an order; if it did, he could take the opportunity to get married.
He didn't want to wrong anyone, and as long as Chi Yu agreed, he could immediately begin preparing everything needed for the wedding.
All of this should have been said today.
Unfortunately, my eyes betrayed me and failed me at the crucial moment.
He was exhausted and hungry, and his eyes were so uncomfortable that he wished he could close them and fall asleep immediately.
So after hearing Chi Qiao's words, he could only nod with a hint of regret.
