She went straight to the general store, which was mostly empty except for a few children who came to buy candy.
When the little children saw her, they all obediently called her "Little Fish Auntie".
After buying the candy, they skipped and hopped away.
Chi Yu looked at Chen Xiaomai, who was holding Zhuangzhuang, and sat down next to her.
"Third Sister-in-law, since Brother Wen and the others will be eating with us tonight, let's start cooking early."
Luckily, I still have some potatoes left. Although it's not a lot, it's enough to cook a few dishes.
You should try it too, and see what it tastes like as a dish!
Chen Xiaomai nodded: "Yes! I just made some tofu puffs earlier, so I can make a dish with them."
Chi Yu, who had originally planned to rest for a while and chat with her third sister-in-law, suddenly remembered that Shen Zhaochen was still here.
Now, she has to tell people everything that's happening outside.
So that the clan leader doesn't call a meeting of the clan members without the Shen family being aware of it.
As for Wang Qiaoya's younger siblings, there's no need to mention them.
None of this concerns them, firstly because they haven't reached the age for corvée labor, and secondly because they haven't reached the age for marriage.
Therefore, all you need to do is go to Master Shen's house and inform him.
After all, Shen Yejun is already fifteen, which is within the age range suitable for marriage!
Thinking this, Chi Yu got up again and said, "Third Sister-in-law, I'm going to Master Shen's house."
Upon hearing the name Master Shen, Chen Xiaomai knew why she had gone there.
"Okay, go ahead. If you come back late, I'll start cooking."
"By the way, Little Fish, that Dr. Tao isn't living at home anymore."
Chi Yu raised an eyebrow at her: "Not living at home? Aren't the villagers' houses still unfinished and they're still living in shacks?"
"What, he's moved to a shack outside? What about his food? How will he eat?"
"Because Doctor Tao had to treat Master Shen's wife and father, he was too lazy to travel back and forth every day, so he simply moved to the Shen family's place."
As for food, the clan provides grain, and he's currently eating with the Shen family.
Chi Yu nodded: "Okay, I understand. I'll go over there in a bit and tell him about the plague outbreak outside."
If he's willing to stay in Chijia'ao, then if there's a drought or something, we won't let him down.
If he wants to wait a month or two before leaving, then forget it.
Chen Xiaomai understood this principle, but no matter what, they would feel more at ease if there was a skilled doctor in the village.
But she also knew that Chijia'ao was remote and located in the mountains, so it was understandable if people didn't want to stay there.
Before leaving, Chi Yu glanced at her son, who was nestled obediently in her third aunt's arms.
Seeing this, he reached out and patted the little guy's head, and left with a smile as the little guy protested.

The Shen family now lives in a shack, just like everyone else.
To make it easier for him to teach, his family did not live on the dam of the threshing ground, nor on the flat ground in front of the ancestral hall.
Instead, they specially fenced off a large plot of land near the wooden wall on the west side of the mountain, where the villagers built three large shacks.
The extra-large room was where the boys of Chijia'ao studied.
The other two, of similar size, were the residences of the Chi family.
When the fish in the pond came looking for them, they could hear the sound of reading aloud from afar.
Interspersed among them were the voices of Ikemori and others who had left not long ago.
Before she could even get close to the shack, she heard Shen Yejun's voice behind her.
"Miss Chi Yu?"
Chi Yu turned around and saw that she was holding a wooden basin filled with freshly washed clothes.
"Just got back from doing laundry? Are your parents home?"
