Chapter 114 The Incident 10
Ziyue looked at the family who were giving her a warm welcome.
Uncle Zhong's two grandsons are named Wang Zhiyong, who is 5 years old this year, and Wang Deshan, who is 3 years old this year.
Looking at the beautiful older sister in front of them, Wang Zhiyong and Wang Deshan felt as if they were seeing a fairy from a picture book. They looked at Ziyue shyly and didn't dare to go forward.
Ziyue pretended to take out a box of milk candy and a bag of snacks from her military canvas bag and handed them to the two of them.
The two children looked at the pretty candy box in Ziyue's hand with longing in their eyes, but they were still sensible enough not to take it and instead looked at their parents.
Uncle Zhong looked at the two things in Ziyue's hands and quickly said, "Ziyue, put them away quickly and keep them for yourself. You came all the way from so far away to our little village. How much could you have brought? The living conditions here are not as good as in the capital. Keep the good things for yourself."
The son and daughter-in-law of Uncle Zhong, who were standing next to her, nodded repeatedly, signaling her to put it away quickly.
"It's my pleasure, Uncle Chung. Don't worry, I have more. I came here for a meal as soon as I arrived on my first day. This is for Ji Yong and De Shan. It's just a small token of my appreciation. Otherwise, I would feel embarrassed to come here for a meal next time."
As she spoke, Ziyue opened the candy and placed it in their hands, saying, "Be good, take it and eat."
Seeing how determined Ziyue was, Uncle Zhong didn't say anything. Sister-in-law Wang also felt a little embarrassed, thinking that she had taken advantage of Ziyue.
The meal wasn't very expensive, and as the descendant of their family's benefactor, it was only right that they entertained her.
She had never even seen those candies before; they must be rare items brought from big cities, and they must have cost a lot of money.
So she thought to herself that she must take good care of Yue Meizi in the future.

Of course it's valuable! Ziyue knew from the food on the table that this family truly welcomed her.
I stewed a chicken, made a stir-fried egg with garlic chives, stir-fried shredded potatoes, a pickled cabbage and vermicelli soup, stir-fried mushrooms and sliced meat, and mixed grain rice. The bowl I put in her was full of rice.
In the rural areas of this era, this was an extremely lavish meal that people might not even be able to afford during the Lunar New Year.
It was Xiao Jiu'er who told her that this was Uncle Zhong's son, Wang Nan. Knowing that his savior's granddaughter had arrived and that there was nothing of value in the house, Wang Nan got up early and killed one of the old hens.
The Wang family is a small family, and they are all easy to get along with.
Uncle Zhong is calm, warm-hearted, and loves to communicate with people.
Uncle Zhong's son, Wang Nan, is kind, honest, and sincere. His wife, Li Guizhi, is also gentle and virtuous, and their two children are well-behaved.
The group ate and chatted, and Ziyue also drank a bowl of sauerkraut and vermicelli soup and finished the rice in her bowl.
Wang Zhiyong and Wang Deshan were so happy today! They met a fairy sister, ate lots of meat, and received beautiful candies they had never seen before...
Those two will definitely be the most popular kids in the village tomorrow!

After finishing her meal, Ziyue carried a kettle full of hot water back to the three mud-brick houses behind the clinic next door.
This was just given to her by Sister-in-law Wang, Li Guizhi, who told her not to cook tonight and to take it home to use.
Ziyue glanced at it and realized that although it was small, it had all the essential parts.
The three rooms are arranged in a row. The easternmost room is a bedroom, which contains only a kang (a heated brick bed) and an old wooden cabinet.
The kitchen is next to the bedroom, and the stove is connected to the kang (heated brick bed) in the bedroom by a partition wall. This is so that the kang can be heated when boiling water or cooking, which is convenient.
Next to the kitchen, which is the westernmost room, is a storage room.
There is no living room here; the kitchen is used as the living room.
The kitchen was not small. In addition to the stove, firewood stack, a work table, a cabinet, and a large water tank, there was also a square table about one meter in size and four long benches placed around the table.
There was also a picture of Chairman Mao on the wall directly opposite the table.
The storage room next door was quite empty, with nothing in it. Ziyue saw that there was only a broken box and some firewood piled up inside.
Great, she can be used as a woodshed.
It saves the firewood from getting wet in the rain and becoming unusable.
The rooms behind had been cleaned and prepared in advance by Uncle Zhong's daughter-in-law, Sister Wang, also known as Li Guizhi, before she arrived.
So now Ziyue only needs to take out the bedding, make the bed, and she can sleep.
Fortunately, it wasn't cold, so it wasn't unusual for her to take out a thin blanket or sheet from her suitcase.
She plans to go to the county tomorrow. The package may not have arrived yet, but she wants to go to the post office to send a letter home so that her family won't worry.
She unpacked everything from both suitcases, looked around at the place where she would probably live for a year or two, and happily began to decorate her little nest bit by bit.
After tidying up, I felt a bit hungry again, so I closed the door and went into the space for a late-night snack.
Pan-fried tofu with gravy, pork ribs, cumin mushrooms, stir-fried rice cakes, and a can of soda—delicious!
After eating and drinking their fill, they left the space and instantly teleported back to the secluded courtyard in Beijing. They collected all the things that Xingchen, Xingyue, and Xingmeng had bought with their money and tickets, and then teleported back to the clinic in Dahe Village.
She took a nice hot bath in the space and then lay down on the soft bed to sleep, asking Xiao Jiu'er to keep watch and notify her immediately if anyone came.
I never expected something like this to happen on my very first night here.
