The potatoes collected by the court could be processed, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Soon people all over the country knew how to store potatoes.
It also adds some different foods to their limited dining table.
After nearly three months of construction and renovation, Sangluo City gradually regained its original prosperity.
In the summer, he also started to arrange to reopen the original braised food shop.
However, after all, after the disaster, although the casualties were not serious due to timely rescue efforts, it was still a heavy blow.
Fortunately, with the donations of money, grain and supplies from the nobles and wealthy families, as well as the support from the imperial court, the damage caused by the earthquake was gradually recovered with the concerted efforts of all.
She was still in confinement in the summer and couldn't go out. She could only stay in the house every day. Fortunately, Linzhou was not that hot anymore, so she had to endure not being able to take a shower.
The main reason was that Aunt Cui and Aunt Zhang were keeping an eye on her, so even if she wanted to take a bath secretly, they wouldn't allow it.
At most, you can wipe it with mugwort water every day.
"Aunt, when can I take a shower? I feel like I'm going to stink."
Xiatian raised his arm to smell the smell, feeling disgusted with himself.
Especially her hair, because it was long and she hadn't washed it since giving birth, and she sweated frequently, and she could hardly stand it.
"It will be over soon, just bear with it." Her aunt comforted her, "Don't do anything reckless during this confinement period. You must take good care of your body, otherwise you will be the one who suffers."
Xia Tian also knew that what her aunt said was right, but she really couldn't bear it anymore.
"Aunt, how about I wash my hair?" Xia Tian tried to bargain.
"No, just bear with it a little longer!" Auntie refused to negotiate.
Aunt Zhang also agreed, "Yes, Madam, you can't wash your hair during the confinement period, otherwise you will get a headache in the future."
"Okay!" Xia Tian pouted. This was the only bad thing about the ancient times. It was so torturous.
But her aunt and Aunt Zhang were doing this for her own good, so she couldn't help but be grateful.
Fortunately, I will be able to leave the confinement period in half a month.
I'm bored in the summer. I either play with the kids or sleep to keep healthy. I'm almost tired of it.
In the past, when I was working like a beast of burden in modern times, I wished I could just rest and lie down every day without moving.
In ancient times, people finally had a life with no worries about food and drink and could order servants around, but they actually felt bored again.
That day, Xia Tian was in a daze in the house when Ning Xiang walked in excitedly, "Madam, look who's here?"
As Ningxiang spoke, she stepped aside, revealing the person behind her.
"Fourth sister?" the visitor called out timidly.
Xia Tian looked at the person behind Ning Xiang and was stunned for a long time before reacting. His voice trembled as he spoke, "Big Sister?"
After saying that, he quickly put on his shoes and got off the kang.
"Sister, is it really you?" Xia Tian still couldn't believe it. She actually saw Xia Yue.
"Fourth sister!" Xia Yue forced a smile and walked towards Xia Tian.
"Big sister." Xia Tian hugged Xia Yue tightly in a bear hug.
It was not until now that she believed that it was really Xia Yue who came to see her.
Xia Yue was so excited that tears came to her eyes. She hadn't seen her fourth sister for three or four years and she didn't expect that she had changed so much.
She almost didn't recognize him just now.
"Fourth sister, you are so nice!" Xia Yue hugged her for a while before letting go of Xia Tian, holding her hand and looking her up and down.
"Sister, you have changed a lot." Xia Tian also looked at Xia Yue. She had become more mature and dignified, and was dressed like a rich lady. Just now, she thought she was seeing things.
"Fourth sister, don't you recognize me?" As he spoke, another head popped out from behind Xia Yue.
Xia Tian was so excited to see Xia Yue just now that he didn't notice anyone else.
At this moment, I heard voices, raised my head and took a closer look, and saw a pretty little girl.
Taking a closer look, "Xia Chen?"
"Xiaochen, you are here too?" Xia Tian was so excited that he hugged Xia Chen in his arms.
"I didn't expect you've grown so big?" Xia Tian looked at Xia Chen again. When she left, Xia Chen was only ten years old, but now she is actually a fourteen-year-old girl.
"Fourth sister, I thought you didn't recognize me anymore." Xia Chen said unhappily with a pout.
She was clearly standing behind her eldest sister just now, but her fourth sister didn't even see her.
"Okay, okay, it's Fourth Sister's fault for not recognizing our Xiaochen at the first time." Xia Tian quickly apologized.
He pulled Xia Yue and Xia Chen onto the kang.
Just remembered, I haven’t asked them how they got here yet?
"How did you two get here? Where's my brother?" Xia Tian looked towards the door and didn't see anyone else.
"My eldest brother brought us here. He went to unload the things." Xia Yue explained with a smile.
When Xia Tian heard that it was Xia Yang who brought them here, she felt relieved.
He ignored Xia Yang and let the two of them sit on the kang first.
Xia Tian called Ningxiang, Ningxue and others over, introduced the two parties to each other, and then arranged for Ningxiang to go to the kitchen to prepare meals.
After a while, Cui's aunt also came in.
Xia Tian quickly pulled the people over and introduced them, "Aunt, this is my elder sister Xia Yue and my younger sister Xia Chen. Sister, Xiao Chen, this is my aunt. She came here to take care of me during my confinement."
Xia Yue and Xia Chen quickly got off the kang and respectfully called out, "Aunt."
The eldest aunt didn't care and smiled casually, "You are Xia Xia's elder sister and younger sister, so you are family. When you come here, just treat it as your own home. Don't be restrained."
After my aunt finished speaking, she made an excuse and left the house.
Xia Yue and Xia Chen were a little nervous. Although they were a little confused as to why their brother-in-law's aunt came to take care of them after the confinement period, they didn't dare to ask questions since someone was around.
"Cuiyun, go clean up a guest room and see that everything is put in place." Xia Tian ordered.
Xia Yang still lives in the same room he used to live in.
After the maids had left, Xia Yue whispered to Xia Tian, "When did you give birth? Are you still in confinement?"
Xia Yang only said that Xia Tian was pregnant at the time, but he didn't specify how many months it had been, so Xia Yue asked this question.
"October 18th, and I will be out of confinement in half a month." Xia Tian said with a smile.
"Is that a nephew or a niece?" Xia Chen interrupted.
"Nephew!" Xia Tian replied loudly.
The voice was full of joy.
Unexpectedly, Xia Yue and Xia Chen came to Linzhou to see her.
This was the first time she had seen the two of them since she and Shen Nian returned to the capital.
"Hello, nephew, hello!" The two said in unison when they heard that she gave birth to a boy.
In fact, Xia Tian understood why the two of them thought boys were better.
They were worried about her, afraid that if she gave birth to a daughter, her in-laws would be unhappy.
"Sister, didn't brother just come home not long ago? Why is he here again? And brought you here with him?"
It’s not that Xia Tian doesn’t want them to come, but the journey takes more than 20 days. Xia Chen is still okay because she is not married.
Xia Yue is a mother who also runs a shop at home, yet she put everything aside and came to see her.
