Rescuing from the Sea of Fire "Husband, cough cough cough..." Song Tingzhu was choked by the thick smoke and couldn't speak. The fire in the courtyard was spreading, and most of the kitchen had already been burned down. Everyone saw the flames and rushed over to help. "Oh my, why is the fire so big!" "Huzi, don't go in there. The men in the village have already gone to fetch water. Wait until the fire is out before doing anything!" Liu Hu was about to rush in but was stopped by two aunties. He was anxious…-

I Can't Outtalk You As the hour of You was about to pass, Tian Tian finally pulled a cart of bricks into the Liu family courtyard. Liu Meng, who worked as a long-term laborer at Landlord Zhang's house, also returned home. The three of them worked quickly, and in less than half an hour, they had the bed fixed and even built a wall. Though the space was a bit smaller, they no longer had to worry about smoke coming in. It was much better than just covering it with a curtain. Ruan Xiulian was particularly…

The Wine is Ready! Song Tingzhu was just about to take a short nap when he saw his husband excitedly push open the door, shouting that a letter had arrived from the prefectural city. Song Tingzhu was momentarily stunned, but once he came to his senses, he was overwhelmed with excitement. He didn't even bother to put on his clothes before getting out of bed. Liu Hu quickly walked to the bedside, handed the letter to his wife, and while Song Tingzhu was reading it, he helped him put on a cotton coat. "It's a…

Anger at Pan's Big Mouth "Have you heard? The Liu family has brewed their wine!" "How could I not? It's not even noon yet, and the whole village is buzzing. The Liu family is going to open a wine shop in town!" "Easy to say, but brewing wine is one thing; selling it and making money is another. I reckon they've spent at least ten taels of silver. If they can't sell it and it just sits there, it'll be a laughing stock!" "You're just sour grapes, Xu family. The wine's brewed, and there's no reason it won't…

Starting to Brew Wine "Sister Xiulian, is your family still collecting grain?" Early this morning, another woman came to the door. Although she wasn't very close to the Liu family, she had heard they were collecting grain. Even those who usually didn't speak much were now coming with smiles. "Yes, we're still collecting." Ruan Xiulian was in the kitchen making pancakes. Hearing this, she casually wiped her hands on her apron, glanced at the grain in the woman's bag, and felt it. It was fresh grain, so she…

Inspecting the Clay Pots "Wife, you rest, I'll do it." The skimmer in Song Tingzhu's hand was taken by the man. Watching his husband bend down to scoop the grain, Song Tingzhu couldn't help but curl his lips into a smile. Ever since he shared his thoughts with his husband yesterday afternoon, his husband had been even more attentive than before. Truly, he was treated like a precious treasure, afraid of being broken if held, or melting if tasted. This morning, he had been teased quite a bit by…

Granny Chen Gets Hurt After a good rest at noon, the couple packed some gifts and headed to the Chen family. The Chen family lived at the far west end, and it took them nearly half an hour to get there. "Is this Granny Chen's house?" Seeing the Chen family's courtyard, Song Tingzhu was taken aback. The courtyard walls had collapsed, the house was in disrepair, and weeds inside were as tall as a person. It looked like it had been abandoned for a long time. If not for seeing his husband nod, it was hard to…

Fire at the Chen Family Yunxi Village, Liu Family. "It's already dark, why hasn't Second Brother come back yet?" Liu Xiaomei stood at the courtyard gate, looking out. Seeing her brother-in-law's worried face, she quickly changed the topic to reassure him, "Don't worry, Brother-in-law, he's probably just delayed by something." Song Tingzhu nodded but kept his eyes on the yard until he saw a tall, blurry figure turning the corner. He instinctively stepped forward to greet him. "Husband," he called…

Snowbound Village As soon as the ox cart reached the village entrance, they saw a tall, sturdy man briskly walking toward them. Sixth Aunt Yang teased, "Isn't that Huzi? The young couple's relationship is really good. Even going out, he comes to the village entrance to greet her." Song Tingzhu smiled but said nothing. When the man got closer, he naturally picked up the basket and even scooped up Xia Ge'er into his arms. "Wife, why didn't you wait for me when you and Xiaomei went to town to buy lime?" Song…

The Ruan Family Visits The folks in Yunxi Village may bicker and squabble on regular days, but when it comes to big events, they always band together like a tight-knit rope. Everyone worked together for two days, making the village as impenetrable as a fortress. Forget about the mindless beasts; even people from other villages would find it hard to get in. Early the next morning, smoke rose from the Liu family's chimney. The elderly couple from the Ruan family couldn't stop worrying about their daughter…
