Seeing that the makeshift ball had come to her feet again, Jiang Yue was silent for a moment, but she still gave it a small kick.
Xue Yan naturally wasn’t any better.
Just as Jiang Yue and Xue Yan were stiffly kicking the makeshift ball with Shen Yuxuan, Liu Guixia and the others had already begun to prepare the butcher’s dish. Zi Cui and Miao Han had come to help prepare the butcher’s dish.
Xue Da was already here. When the time came, their uncle’s family would also come. The elders in the village would also come to eat this dish.
When Shen Yuxuan’s family’s carriage came to pick him up, Liu Guixia and Xue Dafu asked Shen Yuxuan to stay for another meal. He should only go back after lunch, so they also asked Shen Yuxuan’s coachman to stay as well.
Shen Yuxuan didn’t go home until after lunch.
Liu Guixia also asked Shen Yuxuan to bring back a few pounds of meat for Doctor Shen.
Shen Yuxuan had left, but the makeshift ball that had been blown up was still there. Jiang Yue quickly hid the makeshift ball in a corner when no one was
paying attention.
When Xue Yan saw it, not only did he not stop it, he even silently helped.
Jiang Yue looked at him and nodded.
However, who knew that Erfu would go to the outhouse and come back with sharp eyes to find the makeshift ball in the corner. As he went over to pick it up, he said, “Whose this? How did it end up here? What if Xue Yan and Jiang Yue can’t find it? They’ll be so sad.”
With that, he placed the makeshift ball at the entrance of the central room, where everyone in the house could see it.
Jiang Yue and Xue Yan were speechless.
After lunch, seeing that the people who came to eat had gone back, Liu Guixia and the others asked Jiang Yue and Xue Yan to play with the makeshift ball in the courtyard while they began to make bacon and sausages.
Naturally, the cured meat and sausages couldn’t be made in a day.
Right now, it was the 25th day. Although it was still November, the weather was even colder. It was clearly daytime, but the northern wind outside was like a ghost wailing. It was a little scary. Xue Shi had been scared to tears countless times.
Afraid that Xue Shi would be frightened again, she closed the doors and windows even tighter. Yu Hongyan even used the rattle drum to shake it continuously, teasing Xue Shi and talking to him to attract his attention.
Liu Guixia and Li Hehua were also in Yu Hongyan’s room.
Jiang Yue and Xue Yan were also there.
However, Jiang Yue and Xue Yan were not sitting on the brick bed. Instead, they were sitting in front of the stove. Not only was water boiling on the stove, but red sweet potatoes were also being roasted.
Xue Erfu had moved this stove in. He felt that it was best to eat hot roasted sweet potatoes in the middle of winter. It could also keep boiling water, so that there was always hot water in the house.
Because the stove was burning, Jiang Yue and Xue Yan’s legs were covered with blankets, and they were holding a small hand warmer in their hands. Even if they didn’t sit on the brick bed, Jiang Yue and Xue Yan still felt cold.
On this side, Jiang Yue and Xue Yan were roasting sweet potatoes around the stove. At the same time, in Changyu, the servant of Mister Zhang’s family, Ah Zhong, finally arrived at Heshi County in thick winter clothes.
First, he found an inn to settle down. Then, he went to Heshi County to find Wei Zizhan. Wei Zizhan lived in the residence behind the county Yamen.
It was also because it was winter and the weather was inconsistent that he had only arrived now.
There must be a small door in the county office, but the small door was closed. Only the main door was open.
There were two officers on duty at the gate of the county government, both wearing thick winter clothes.
“Hello,” Ah Zhong quickly stepped forward and cupped his hands. “I’m from the hometown of your County Magistrate. My teacher is the dean of the academy where your County Magistrate’s younger brother, Wei Zizhan, studied. My teacher sent me to look for him for something. I hope you can inform him that
I am here..”
