Chapter 3 Something's Not Right

While they were talking, great-uncle's second son and Qixun's second grandfather also came over carrying a willow basket, and several children were busy receiving gifts.

The second grandfather, Yan Hongshan, is the younger brother of the first grandfather, Yan Hongyun. Although the two have separated, their old father is still there, and the two old brothers have a very good relationship. This is why they heard that the eldest nephew's house was on fire, so he was worried about coming over.

Come take a look and bring food and money.

"Brother, I heard that there was a fire at Fengchi's house. Come and see, are you there too?" Fengchi is the name of Qixun's father, Yan Yongwu.

Yan Hongyun said: "I didn't know until the third and fifth girls went over to talk to each other early in the morning. You also sent food? I was about to ask the children to move to my place, but the children were unwilling. I will ask again when my nephew-in-law comes back.

Ask her, if she doesn't want to, let the little brothers tidy up the house when the weather clears up, and we can't let the children suffer."

Yan Hongshan nodded: "Okay, I still have some savings at home. The old woman asked me to bring ten taels of silver over. I have to prepare bedding and clothing for the winter. Food is easy to say. Every family in the Huihu clan will send some, so I won't be hungry after all.

them."

Yan Hongshan has only one son, and his son has given birth to two grandsons. He and his wife are in good health and are good at work, and their lives are actually better off than that of his eldest brother Yan Hongyun.

Yan Hongyun didn't argue about this. Six of his eight grandchildren were studying seriously. Fortunately, he was studying with Qi Xun's father before, so he didn't have to pay for study. He saved a lot of money, but he didn't need pens, ink, and paper.

Inkstones are also a big expense. In addition, the family only has thirty or forty acres of land, but there are seventeen mouths to eat. Although the eldest son works as a bookkeeper in the town, and the second and third sons also go to the town to do part-time work during the slack time, but

Life is really tight.

Yan Hongshan is different. His son is a scholar and teaches in a private school in the county. His two grandsons are still young. The eldest grandson has only studied for two years and has not yet used the money, so he has some savings.

The two old brothers walked around the three rooms, discussing how to help their nephews and grandnephews live a better life, while Lingzhou teased his sisters.

He always felt something strange. Something seemed wrong with his three sisters.

Xiao Xun is doing better, after all, he is sick, and some wilting is normal, but the third sister and the fifth sister both have gloomy eyebrows and look a little absent-minded.

Then I think about how their whole home was burned down by fire, which makes it understandable.

In fact, Qixun also felt that the third sister and younger sister were different from the impression.

Although they would certainly not be happy if a disaster occurred at home, and some sadness was inevitable, the daze on their faces did not seem to be due to the fire at home.

Anyway, it feels like something is wrong.

However, the biggest problem is that I have awakened the memory of my past life.

The two uncles helped to sort out the messy things in the house. Seeing that it was almost noon, they took the spirit boat home.

Nowadays, most people only eat two meals. Moreover, the pots and pans at home are not clean and have to be cleaned. Moreover, their homes are not suitable for having guests for dinner.

The third sister, Yan Lingsu, kept the food and supplies sent to her, and only refused the twelve taels of silver from the second grandfather. You know, ten taels of silver is almost what an ordinary person would need for a year. The sisters would not dare to accept it if their mother was not around.

.

After sending the person away, he returned to the house and touched Qixun's forehead. Seeing that she didn't have a fever, he checked her pulse. Seeing that she was fine, he felt relieved and went to the west room to collect firewood. Qixun was still heading out the door.

The third sister joked: "Sister, when will you be able to feel your pulse?"

Yan Lingsu paused for a moment, ignored it, grabbed some firewood, and heated up the porridge and pancakes that Zuo's grandma had delivered early in the morning. This was lunch for the three sisters.

Qixun ate the pancake and thought about the space he had in his previous life. If the space was still there, he wouldn't have to worry about anything.

Because she has more than eight years of memory in this life, she knows the time and space she lives in now. The current court is called the Great Xia Empire, which is somewhat similar to the prosperous Tang Dynasty in her previous life. However, the history of this time and space is completely different from the history of her previous life.

.

Today's Daxia Empire has been established for more than three hundred years. The empire is strong and powerful, but the lives of the people at the bottom are not easy. If nothing else, the situation of the two cousins ​​​​in the village is considered very good, but the clothes they just wore

They are also clothes with patches.

The Qingze Prefecture where their Yanjia Village is located is not located in the hinterland of the Central Plains, but it is also a prosperous and prosperous prefecture. Yanjia Village is located in Anping Town, Linjiang County, under the jurisdiction of Qingze Prefecture. Because it is close to the waterway leading to the capital, transportation is convenient, although it is surrounded by mountains.

, but it is not closed off. There are hundreds of people in a village, most of them are of the same race, and they help each other. They are poor, but if the weather goes well, life will be okay.

The empire was strong and powerful, and the administration was fairly clear. Qixun felt that if he worked hard, his family would have a promising future.

Of course, in this kind of feudal dynasty life, social status is very important. If her father can pass the Jinshi examination and get an official status, it will be perfect for her to live a wealthy life with her genius brain.

What she was worried about wasn't actually life.

What she worries about is that if there is no space, there will be no potatoes, sweet potatoes, peppers, tomatoes, and various seasonings. No matter how wealthy she is, her quality of life will be greatly affected.

In her previous life, she was born into a wealthy family, and she was dedicated to scientific research. She was not particular about anything else, but when it came to food, she could not bear the injustice.

When he thought that due to the geographical species restrictions of the times, he could no longer enjoy those delicacies, Qixun felt a little helpless.

She was lost in thought, and the third sister and Xiaowu were drinking porridge and eating cakes, and seemed to be thinking about something.

When Qi Xun came back to his senses, he saw Xiao Wu's delicate brows frowning slightly, as if it was hard to swallow, and couldn't help but laugh.

The little girl has always been a bit squeamish, but now she only eats porridge and pancakes, not even a side dish. It is not even a bit worse than the food at home before.

After dinner, the three sisters started to pack their things.

The two uncles had helped put away some heavy sundries before. The three of them only needed to water and sweep, and clean the doors, windows, tables and chairs.

Furthermore, some unburnt bottles and jars in the house that were originally burned must be found and cleaned so that they can be used again in the future.

There are three rooms here. The west room was originally my mother's boudoir before she got married. It was later used as a utility room. The place is quite big. After the things in the room were sorted, it was just for my second brother to stay temporarily, but it might be cold in winter.

At that time, all we can do is light the brazier to keep warm.

The east room was originally my grandpa's living room, with a green brick fire pit. Because there was a fire pit to burn, a kitchen was built outside the east room and connected to the inside with a door.

Qixun didn't have a coat and was worried that she would catch cold, so Lingsu asked her to sit on the bed and play. She and Lingyu went outside to look for the household items that had survived the fire, and collected some undamaged pots and bowls, as well as some

Several porcelain bottles.

The two of them cleaned the items they had packed up, sent the pots and pans to the kitchen, and moved the others into the house.

I tidied up the kitchen and cleaned the house again. Two hours have passed.

On the other side of the clan, the clan leader also sent someone to take a look and said that he would ask each family to collect some food and deliver it tomorrow.
