Rebirth of the leisurely life in ancient times

Half an hour later, the Laba porridge was ready. Xia Zixuan held a bowl of steaming porridge, smelled its sweet aroma, and couldn't wait to take a spoonful of it. "Hmm, this porridge tastes so good."

After Xia Zixuan ate a few mouthfuls, she said to Xia Xiuhong, "Aunt, serve some porridge. I'll take it to Aunt Wang's house and the village chief's house."

Xia Xiuhong heard this and said, "Oh, I got it, girl. I'll go get it right away."

Xia Xiuhong scooped out the Laba porridge and put it in a basket, handed it to Jinghe and said, "Carry it for the young lady and go with her."

Jinghe nodded and said, "Okay, I understand, Mom. I will."

Xia Zixuan smiled and said, "Let's go! Let's go to the village chief's house first, and then go to Aunt Wang's house when we come back."

Jinghe said, holding the basket, "Yes, young lady."

After they walked into the village, they smelled the rich aroma of Laba porridge, which was something she had never seen before. In the past, people would just cook some other grain porridge on Laba Festival.

This year, since Xia Zixuan took them to dig herbs and hired them to work in the workshop, they have no money to buy food.

Now, from the smiles on the faces of the women who go to work in the workshop every day, we can see that their status in the family has also risen.

Some families with older daughters have started to look for potential partners. Now both girls and boys in their village are very popular.

As the master and servant were talking, they also arrived at the village chief's house. Jinghe went forward and knocked on the door and asked, "Is the village chief home?"

Mrs. Wu came out of the kitchen and asked, "I'm home! Who is it?"

Wu walked towards the main door and opened it to see Xia Zixuan standing outside. She said enthusiastically, "Xuan, how come you have time to come here? Have you eaten yet? Come in."

Xia Zixuan smiled and said, "Hello, Auntie. Isn't today Laba Festival? I'm here to bring you some Laba porridge."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Wu's smile deepened. Sure enough, Miss Xuan would not be like those gossipers said. Just because she has money, she will not care about them, the peasants.

"Oh, you are so thoughtful, come into the house, your village chief is already up."

Xia Zixuan nodded with a smile and followed Wu into the house.

When she arrived at the main hall, she saw the village chief sitting at the head of the table drinking tea. She said, "Hello, village chief grandpa."

When the village chief saw that it was Xia Zixuan who came in, he put down his teacup and said, "Xuan girl is here, please sit down."

Xia Zixuan smiled and said, "Thank you, Grandpa Village Chief. This is the Laba porridge I cooked today. I'm giving it to Grandpa Village Chief to let him taste it."

As she said this, she asked Jinghe to put the basket on the table. There was no thermal box here, and it was snowing heavily, so the Laba porridge had already gone cold by the time it was brought from home to the village chief's house.

The village chief said: "Okay, okay, it's rare that you still remember an old man like me."

Xia Zixuan smiled and said, "What did the village chief say? How could Zixuan not remember the village chief?"

She then said to Wu: "Aunt, please heat it up again later!"

Wu nodded and said, "Okay, I understand. I just made some Laba porridge. Let's eat some together later, girl Xuan!"

Xia Zixuan stood up and said, "No need, auntie. I have to go to Auntie Wang's house later. I'll come and eat the food you cook another day when I have time."

After hearing her words, Wu didn't keep her and said, "Okay, you can come anytime you have space."

Xia Zixuan smiled and said, "Okay, then the village chief grandfather, the village chief grandmother and aunt, I will go back first."

Feng, who had just come in from outside, said, "Xuan girl is going back so soon!"

Xia Zixuan nodded and said, "Yes, Village Chief, I have some things to do when I get back."

Feng said, "If you have something to do, go back! Come to grandma's house and play when you have time."

Xia Zixuan patted Feng's hand and said, "Okay, I will, Village Chief Grandma."

The village chief looked at Feng and said, "Alright, don't bother Miss Xuan anymore. Since she has something to do, let her go back to her work!"

Feng glared at the village chief and said, "You old man, I'm talking to Xuan! Don't make a sound."

Upon hearing this, the village chief took a sip of tea angrily. After drinking it, he found that the tea had already cooled down. He could neither swallow it nor spit it out, which made him feel very uncomfortable.

Xia Zixuan was afraid that the two old people would quarrel again, so she said, "Village head grandma, I will come to chat with you another day. I will go back today."

Feng immediately put on a kind smile and said, "Okay, go back!"
