I fell through the tunnel and brought my family to live a good life

In order to avoid insomnia at night, Xu Congyi set an alarm for herself and only slept for one hour at noon. After all, this was ancient times and there was no electricity. People could not work after dark at night and had nothing to do, so they went to bed early. Although there was electricity in the space, she had no mobile phone or tablet to watch videos, and she didn't like to watch TV series, so she basically went to bed after ten o'clock.

An hour passed quickly. This kind of work consumes physical energy. Xu Congyi felt that she had just closed her eyes when the alarm clock rang. She struggled to get up. Every time she struggled to get up for a nap, it was to sleep better at night. After struggling for a while, Xu Congyi sat up and closed her eyes for a long time before waking up.

There are still things to do in the afternoon. I have already peeled and cut all the chestnuts in the morning, so the work to be done in the afternoon is to make sugar-roasted chestnuts. The wild chestnuts here are very sweet and do not require a lot of sugar, so the syrup in the pot can make a lot of sugar-roasted chestnuts.

After leaving the bedroom, Xu Congyi found that the house was quiet. She looked at each room one by one. The quilts in each bedroom were neatly folded. Her grandmother, mother and two brothers were not at home. Xu Congyi was very confused. She did not go back to the space to take a nap at noon. She would definitely hear someone knocking on her door. Why did the whole family go out but didn't call her?

Xu Congyi stood at the gate of the yard and looked out. After waiting for a while, no one came back. She had never been to other places in the village and didn't know where to find her family, so she went back home. It would be embarrassing if she got lost.

After thinking about it, Xu Congyi decided to make sugar-roasted chestnuts by herself. She originally wanted to let her grandmother and mother watch her make the sugar-roasted chestnuts as she did in the morning, but because the previous steps were relatively simple, she told them orally after they came back. She first took some chestnuts and put them in the pot to boil, and sprinkled a handful of salt in it, which would remove the bitterness of the chestnut skin and make it taste sweeter.

It took about fifteen minutes to cook these chestnuts. Xu Congyi also got some grass to feed the rabbits. She found that the mother rabbit's belly was getting bigger and bigger. Maybe she would give birth to baby rabbits in the next few days. She had to feed it well. She also cleaned up the feces of the two rabbits.

After finishing the rabbit, Xu Congyi flashed into the space, washed his hands carefully with hand soap, and washed his face with clean water. He had just woken up from a nap and was only thinking about making sugar-roasted chestnuts. He had just sweated in the kitchen, so it was a good opportunity to wash his face to cool down.

After washing her face, the chestnuts were almost cooked. She washed the cooked chestnuts, otherwise the chestnut skin might have a salty taste, which would not taste good. After washing, she poured the chestnuts directly into a large pot of syrup, and added water to let the chestnuts soak in the syrup first. The chestnuts that were fully soaked in the syrup would be more flavorful and more delicious.

After doing all this, Xu Congyi went to the gate of the courtyard to look again. This time, she saw several figures in the distance walking towards her home, and they seemed to be carrying something behind them.

When the family came in, Xu Congyi approached and saw that they were carrying firewood. Xu Congyi hurriedly helped put the firewood down. The newly cut firewood was relatively wet and needed to be dried before use. The family placed the firewood neatly by the wall where it could get sun. Xu Congyi hurriedly went to the house to get cups and teapots to pour boiled water for everyone.

"Why didn't you ask me to go!" Xu Congyi pouted, "I woke up and found no one was home. I'm so timid!" Xu Congyi said coquettishly while thinking of his grandma and mother.

"Okay, we were wrong. We wanted to let you sleep a little longer. From now on, we will take you with us wherever we go. We won't be left alone at home." Mother Xu looked at her precious granddaughter lovingly.

Now Xu Congyi has been more and more integrated into this family. Besides, she is an orphan. When other children of the same age were still in their parents' arms, Xu Congyi was sensible enough to carry a load to the town to sell vegetables with her grandmother. When her grandmother was alive, she could still snuggle up to her and chat with her. After her grandmother passed away, she became a lonely person and had no shoulders to rely on. So even though she is 28 years old, she still enjoys the feeling of being spoiled with her family.

It’s nice to have family.
