Her eyes lit up, and she immediately headed towards the door, calling out, "Big brother and sister-in-law?"
Upon hearing her sister's voice, Chi Qiao, who was outside the door, immediately responded with a "Yes."
Chi Yu opened the door, saw the people, and stepped aside to let them in.
After the door closed, she immediately took out chilled mung bean soup from her spatial storage and gave each person a bowl.
"Quick, have some water to calm down!"
Chi Qiao and the others walked back, and even with palm-leaf fans in their hands, they were still incredibly hot.
Only after drinking a bowl of chilled mung bean soup did I feel alive again.
Seeing that they seemed much better, Chi Yu asked:
"Brother, are you still busy tomorrow? Can you come back to Chijia'ao for the Dragon Boat Festival?"
"It's been too hot these past few days, so the fields aren't very busy. Lord Chen knows it will take me some time to go home."
So he gave me a two-week break.
"We're going back now. Xiaoyu, you and your sister-in-law go and sit in the carriage. Your brother will drive."
Chi Yu didn't argue with her older brother; she simply pulled her sister into the carriage.
When Chi Dahu drove the car out the gate, he happened to run into Fang Shizhong and his group coming out from next door.
As he got out of the car and locked the door, he also bowed and greeted Fang Shizhong.
Fang Shizhong was in a great mood, and even when he looked at Chi Dahu, who was in his forties, he thought the other man had a handsome face.
"Is Da Hu planning to go back to Chijia'ao?"
When Chi Dahu answered yes, Chi Yu emerged from the carriage.
"Sir, today is the Dragon Boat Festival, and my elder brother, sister-in-law, and I would like to go back to Chijia'ao to celebrate the festival."
Amu helped transport grain to Wuning Prefecture this time, and it will probably be a month or two before he returns.
When he returns, he will likely have to take the prefectural examination again, and I will need to trouble you to make some arrangements.
Furthermore, if the adults encounter any difficulties, I will do my best to help in any way I can.
Fang Shizhong, thinking of the special nature of the fish in the pond, glanced subtly at the courtyard behind him.
After thinking for a moment, he beckoned to the fish in the pond.
Chi Yu was somewhat puzzled, but still got off the carriage as instructed.
Fang Shizhong went first to a secluded, dark spot, and then waited for Chi Yu to come over. He then said:
“Mr. Chi, I know you have an extraordinary background, and I also know that you were illiterate before.”
I even asked the Qi family, and they said you didn't learn to read at the Qi family.
Therefore, I am delighted that you care about the people when Da Chu is in trouble.
I don't know who you are, but I'd like to ask you for a favor.
Chi Yu hadn't expected Fang Shizhong to be so blunt. Judging from his pleading tone, she pretended not to understand what he was saying.
"My lord, I don't know why you think I'm a god."
All I want to say is that I am one of the millions of citizens of the Great Chu Kingdom.
I am just an ordinary person, but seeing your hard work and dedication to serving the people has moved me. I just want to learn from you and do my best.
So, I'm doing my best to help whenever I can.
I don't know why you're telling me this now, but tell me your requirements, what if I can do it?
If there hadn't been other people nearby, Fang Shizhong would have knelt down and begged the person in front of him.
Because there were other people present, he could only lower his head as much as possible, humbling himself, and say:
"There are not many days left until the highest temperature that Amu mentioned, which is extremely hot, dry, and the ground cracked, with water sources dried up."
These days, I've been trying my best to help everyone store water.
However, it was too hot, and people needed to consume a lot of water every day.
In some people's homes, the ground has been dug up to a depth of more than three zhang (approximately 10 meters).
Even so, it still feels hot.
