That evening, the villagers had an early dinner and took their stools to the door to enjoy the shade. It was pretty much a gathering of chatting neighbors.
Since there was no television or internet in this era, the villagers would come out and chat. After all, they had nothing much to do at home. If it were winter, they would probably go to bed straight after dinner.
During summer, everyone would go out to enjoy the shade after dinner. They would share their stories with their neighbors.
There were not that many mosquitos in the summer during ancient times because the air was fresh and the environment was perfect. Still, there would be a few mosquitos flying around. The villagers would simply need to fan themselves to avoid getting bitten.
The night wind brought a chill when it blew past, making the villagers feel cool and relaxed. Everyone smiled as they chatted.
"We no longer have to worry so much about wars in Chu Country."
