After Xia Yang's braised food shop got on track, he temporarily handed over Linzhou to Xia Tian to take care of while he was going back home.
"Brother, take these things back and share them with our younger brothers and sisters." Xia Tian directed Fu Gui to load the prepared food and clothes onto Xia Yang's carriage.
"Got it, I'll definitely bring it." Xia Yang stood beside him with a grin, "Xiaoshi and Xiaochen will definitely be very happy to receive the things you brought them."
When he went back home before the Chinese New Year, Xia Tian brought him some gifts. Xiaoshi and Xiaochen were so excited after he returned. They must be very happy about what he brought back this time.
The main thing that makes them happy is that Fourth Sister cares about them!
After sending Xia Yang away, Xia Tian would go to "Tiantian Xianglu" to inspect it every few days.
Business has been booming.
That day, after having breakfast, Xia went to the braised food shop to check.
As a result, I met Miss Bai, Bai Wan, as soon as I got there.
Bai Wan was quite happy to see that it was her, and immediately came over to salute, "Mrs. Shen, what a coincidence, I didn't expect to meet you here!"
Xia Tian was also very happy. She didn't expect to run into someone she knew. "Hello, Miss Bai! What a coincidence."
Xia Tian saw that Bai Wan's maid was still holding the box, and asked with a smile, "Miss Bai also likes the braised food here?"
"Yeah, this one is especially delicious." Bai Wan also replied with a smile, "Mrs. Shen likes it too?"
"This is the shop opened by my eldest brother. I came here to check on the business for him."
"Really? This is the shop of Madam Shen's brother?" Bai Wan was a little surprised.
Bai Wan has always been grateful for the last time Guangfu Temple saved her. Although her family came to thank her, she has always kept it in her heart.
"What kind of food does Miss Bai like?" Xia Tian chatted casually.
"I like the spicy one the best." Bai Wan was also born and raised in Linzhou, and she also loves spicy food.
The two of them had a good chat.
The main reason is that Xia Tian is not much older than Bai Wan, and the two of them get along well.
Later, Xia Tian went there several times and met Bai Wan several times again. The two felt that they were still destined to be together.
Later, the Bai family also learned that these two braised food shops were opened by Xia Tian’s brother from her mother’s family, so they often came to take care of the business.
Whenever the Bai family has a happy event, they like to come to our store to order braised food.
Gradually, the business became better and better, and the braised food prepared every day was basically sold out in half a day.
A month has passed and Xia Yang has not returned yet. Linzhou is located in the south, and it is the hottest time of the year.
In the summer, I usually lie down in the yard for a while after dinner.
There were no mosquitoes after fumigating the area with mugwort, but it was still hot and sweaty.
"This weather is really unbearable." Ningxiang complained as she placed a basin of ice next to Xiatian.
"That's right. It's much hotter in Linzhou than in the capital," Cuiyun continued.
Ningxue and Cuiling were fanning Xia Tian and they were sweating from the heat themselves.
The main reason is that it’s summer now and I’m almost six months pregnant. I’m not allowed to eat anything too cold for fear of disturbing the fetus.
There's nothing we can do about the heat. I don't dare put too many ice basins in there, so I can only bear it like this.
Fortunately, there is still a slight breeze in the yard at night. Every summer, I like to lie down on the rocking chair in the yard and sleep after dinner.
"Madam, it's getting late. Why don't you go back to your room and sleep?" Ningxiang said softly when she saw Xia Tian lying drowsily in the chair.
Xia Tian opened her eyes and saw that it was indeed late. If she didn't go back to the room to sleep, Ningxiang and the others would not be able to sleep either.
"Okay, let's go back to the room and sleep." Xia Tian raised her hand and let Ningxiang and Ningxue help her up. "Where's your prince? Why hasn't he come back yet?"
It’s already this late, and Shen Nian hasn’t come back yet. I wonder what he is doing?
"The prince came back earlier and saw that you were about to fall asleep, so he went to the study again." Ningxiang explained as she helped her walk into the house.
When Xia Tian heard that Chen Nian was in the study, she didn't say anything and let Ningxiang and Ningxue help her to go to bed.
He didn’t wait for Shen Nian to come back either.
He's always been busy anyway.
Xiatian might be pregnant, she fell asleep quickly after lying on the bed.
Only after she fell asleep did Ningxiang stop fanning herself, gently lowered the mosquito net, moved the ice basin a little further away, and then left the room.
I don’t know how long I slept, but Xia Tian felt something heavy beside him, and he knew that Chen Nian had returned.
He mumbled something, turned over and fell asleep again.
In the middle of the night, there was a sudden dizzying shaking. I sleep lightly in the summer, so I was woken up immediately.
Shen Nian is a martial artist, and he wakes up immediately at the slightest movement!
"Brother Shen, what's wrong?" Xia Tian was still a little confused.
Shen Nian didn’t know what was wrong.
Before he could answer, there was another shaking, and dust fell from the roof.
Xia Tian suddenly woke up and said, "Oh no, there's an earthquake."
Xia Tian jumped out of bed and tried to run away with Chen Nian in his arms.
Shen Nian also reacted. The house was shaking violently. In a flash, he grabbed Xia Tian and ran out of the door.
Just as I ran out of the door, one side of the house collapsed.
Xia Tian was still in Shen Nian's arms and didn't react. When he realized what was happening, his face turned pale immediately.
"Ningxiang, Ningxiang and the others haven't come out yet." Xia Tian was anxious and wanted to go into the house.
Shen Nian grabbed her and said, “You can’t go in now.”
Xia Tian also knew that the situation was urgent. The room was shaken so violently just now that Ningxiang and the others didn’t wake up.
It seems that he is fast asleep.
"Ningxiang, Ningxue, Cuiyun, Cuiling, come out quickly, there is an earthquake." Xia Tian stood in the yard and started shouting loudly.
As soon as he finished speaking, the side room where Ningxiang and the others lived collapsed.
