After rebirth, I kidnapped the sickly Dugong

Wen Baizhi coaxed the tearful Si Jiu: "Okay, okay Zijin, I didn't give you these to see you cry, I just want you to be happy."

Si Jiu just cried silently, and finally cried until he hiccuped continuously.

Wen Baizhi found him very cute and pitiful when she saw him closing his mouth to hold back his hiccups.

"I didn't know you could be so cute."

Si Jiu was both shy and happy, and it was rare for her face to show so many different expressions.

In the end, it was Wen Baizhi who used her unique seven-step water drinking method to stop him from hiccuping.

He also leaned delicately on Wen Baizhi's shoulder.

Wen Baizhi touched his hair from top to bottom.

"Are you feeling better?" she asked.

Si Jiu didn't dare to speak, just nodded.

Wen Baizhi then suggested: "Let's go out now. Cuizhi and the others must have gotten up a long time ago. Let's go and meet them."

Si Jiu naturally had no objection.

After the two of them went out, Cuizhi and the others had indeed gotten up long ago.

They were gathering in the yard and making a fire.

Wen Baizhi came forward curiously: "What is this for?"

Cuizhi held the thorn in her hand and said, "Miss, we are going to have a barbecue in the yard today, and then we will have a fire together in the yard in the evening, and finally set off fireworks."

Wen Baizhi sighed: "Your itinerary is really well arranged."

Cuizhi did not dare to take credit for it, and said: "These are all ideas from Doctor Rong, and I am just following Doctor Rong's ideas."

Wen Baizhi then pulled Si Jiu to Rong Heng's side.

Rong Heng was stringing meat on skewers with willow twigs.

Wen Baizhi didn't know whether people in ancient times also had the concept of barbecue, but she just felt that Rong Heng's technique was very professional.

Rong Heng learned all this knowledge about barbecue from his senior brother.

When Rong Heng saw Wen Baizhi coming, he said without even raising his eyes, "Was Si Jiu okay last night?"

Wen Baizhi couldn't say it directly.

She couldn't say that Si Jiu cried in her arms all night last night.

She could only say casually: "It's okay, it's okay, just a little stomachache, I helped him press it and it will be fine."

Rong Heng snorted: "He actually has a day when he wants to die under the peony flowers."

Wen Baizhi's ability to understand this sentence reached its peak at this moment.

"Yes, right." She was a little embarrassed, "Don't let him drink so much in the future."

While the two were talking, Si Jiu also came over.

"what's the topic?"

Wen Baizhi replied first: "We didn't talk about anything, but Doctor Rong asked about your physical condition, and I said everything was fine."

Si Jiu understood.

Rong Heng snorted again.

Wen Baizhi directly said: "Rong Heng, you are possessed by a kettle today, you keep humming."

Rong Heng sat down next to him and said, "Hey, you two, if you have nothing to do right now, could you please help me skewer some skewers so I can eat them quickly later."

Wen Baizhi came to him with the intention of helping him.

But she didn't want to do what Rong Heng wanted directly, so she pretended to refuse and said, "Oh, it's not that I don't want to help you. I just said that Si Jiu had a stomachache last night, and I rubbed his stomach all night. Now my hands are still sore, I'm afraid I can't help you."

Rong Heng glanced at her with a sharp look in his eyes: "If your hands hurt, I will help you massage them later. You know, my massage technique is the best. It may hurt a little, but I understand. It's all for the sake of health, right?"

Wen Baizhi was not to be outdone: "I dare not trouble you, Doctor Rong. I am just a rough man. It hurts a little, but I think I will recover by the afternoon. I won't trouble you, Doctor Rong."

Rong Heng was about to say something back to her when Si Jiu rolled up his sleeves and sat next to him.

Rong Heng: "Why are you sitting down?"

Si Jiu said frankly: "Help you skewer the meat. Didn't you just say you wanted us to help you?"

Rong Heng knew that he was protecting Wen Baizhi with his actual actions.

"Didn't your wife say that you had a stomachache last night? Do you still have the energy to work now?"

The memory of last night was brought up again and again today, and Si Jiu's ears turned red.

"I'll know if I have the strength if I try."

Wen Baizhi, who was standing nearby, could attest that he really had no strength left.

Otherwise I wouldn't have curled up in her arms and cried all night.

Rong Heng had no choice but to give him half of the meat: "Okay, then you can skewer it first, and your wife can have a good rest."

Si Jiu just smiled and said nothing.

Just now, Wen Baizhi and Rong Heng were having a lively conversation.

And now everyone in the yard gathers together to prepare for the New Year celebration.

These scenes were things he had never dared to imagine before.

But now, all of these were happening before his eyes.

He was a little afraid that happiness would come too quickly and too suddenly, and what would happen if he lost it all of a sudden.

But Wen Baizhi taught him that what is present is what needs to be cared for and cherished the most.

Wen Baizhi was naturally not idle when everyone was busy.

She was just arguing with Rong Heng.

She also followed Cuizhi, responsible for making the fire and setting up the grill.

Seeing the barbecue method that was almost the same as in modern society, Wen Baizhi couldn't help but ask Cuizhi: "Cuizhi, you mean that Rong Heng taught you all these steps, right?"

Cuizhi nodded: "Yes, how would I know this?"

Wen Baizhi asked again: "Has there been such barbecue in Kyoto before?"

Cuizhi thought for a moment and said, "It seems that there isn't any. But it could also be because we have been in the Wen Mansion the whole time and have no chance to go out, so naturally we don't know about these eating methods outside."

Wen Baizhi thought about it and agreed.

Regardless of the era, the Chinese people have conducted extremely in-depth research on food.

She shouldn't generalize. Perhaps barbecue has already become a way of eating food in this era.

Didn’t the male and female protagonists in the costume dramas I watched before always grill fish by the river?

This is all normal.

Wen Baizhi didn't think any more and continued to devote herself to preparations.

This day is the first day of the new year.

It is also the New Year that everyone misses the most.

Everyone on that day was so vivid and alive.

Cuizhi took care of everyone's food like a head of the family, and if she found someone was out of food, she would immediately replenish it for him.

Rong Hengze has been in charge of grilling skewers. He is well versed in pharmacology and has a good grasp of the heat when grilling skewers. The grilled meat is tender, juicy and extremely delicious.

Ping'an always follows Cuizhi and is responsible for doing chores. He does whatever Cuizhi asks him to do, just like a good helper.

Wen Baizhi and Si Jiu were, of course, enjoying the delicious food on the side.

Si Jiu doesn't eat meat, so Rong Heng also prepared some vegetables for him.

Roasted vegetables are so delicious when sprinkled with some salt.

Even Wen Baizhi ate several skewers under Rong Heng's sharp eyes.

Si Jiu couldn't taste anything, but he liked it when he saw Wen Baizhi liked him.

That night, everyone sat around the campfire chatting and drinking.

At the end of the night, they set off the most beautiful fireworks together.

After that, they spent the second to seventh days of the New Year in Jinzhou.

Si Jiu planned to spend the Lantern Festival in Jinzhou before returning to Kyoto.

However, he never expected that early in the morning of the eighth day, Qi Yan'an's memorial, sent urgently from eight hundred miles away, would arrive.

Perhaps the peaceful life will be broken one day.

None of them knew what kind of situation they would face after returning to Kyoto.
