By the time Zhao Yan had everything nearly prepared, the rest of the family began to arrive home one after another. The ox had been returned to the Village Chief, and the familiar lowing no longer echoed in the courtyard. Having experienced the convenience of having an ox to help with the work today, Zhao Yan had decided to put the matter of purchasing one on his to-do list.
However, the most pressing matter now was how to face the impending severe drought. If they could not even feed the family, there would be no point in talking about raising an ox. Zhao Yan decided he would spend tonight thinking about how to make proper preparations to mitigate the disaster, hoping to minimize losses and ensure his family's safety. Facing such a situation for the first time, Zhao Yan felt quite uncertain, terrified that a single mistake could lead to a catastrophe.
Zhao Yun had the sharpest nose in the family. From a distance, she caught the scent of food and hurried through the courtyard gate, exclaiming, "Third Brother, what delicious thing did you make again? Mom and I could smell it from far away! It smells so good!"
