“It’ll last that long?!”
The two little ones were stunned when they heard that.
Half a month? Wouldn’t that mean they had to stay in the tent for half a month? They would be bored to death.
Rong’er looked at his mother pitifully and asked, “Mother, what should we do? Do we really have to stay in the camp for so long?”
An Jiuyue smiled and said, “You can go outside too. I won’t stop you.”
Qian Yirong’s face turned green. He shook his head rapidly, almost like a rattle drum. He did not want to go outside.
“It’s so smelly outside. I don’t want to go outside. What if I faint from the stench and wild beasts abduct me? I’ll cultivate inside the camp.”
The stench was too unbearable. He had held his breath when he walked from his tent to his mother’s tent. He only took two breaths and felt like his head was about to explode.
He would not do something as stupid as going outside.
“Uncle Jiyun, is the lacquer rain useful for anything?” Qian Yizheng asked.
“There’s not much use for it. It just smells bad. It’s unbearable not only to humans but also to demonic beasts. The demonic beasts on Huayan Peak won’t come out during this period of time,” Qian Jiyun replied.
An Jiuyue thought for a moment and said, “Since you have nothing else to do, sit here first. I’ll go into my space to cook a few side dishes. We’ll have a good meal. How about that?”
The business in her shop would likely suffer in the next half-month since nobody would be leaving their tents.
Hence, she decided to cook all the vegetables that could not be sold. She wanted everyone to eat well, not just Qian Jiyun and the two children.
“Jiuyue, don’t do it. It’s tiring to cook so many dishes daily,” Qian Jiyun said as he looked at her.
Although he loved her cooking, he knew that cooking was tiring, especially since she cooked numerous dishes each day.
“It’s rare for me to have nothing to do. I can cook some dishes.” An Jiuyue ignored him and entered her space in a flash.
Qian Jiyun watched her enter her space, unable to call out to her even if he wanted to. He could only lower his head and look at the two little ones in his arms.
“We’ll have delicious food again.”
Qian Yizheng looked up, his eyes sparkling. However, he quickly lowered his head and pinched a fold of flesh from his stomach with his chubby hands.
“But my stomach has gotten bigger again.”
“That’s right, Big Brother. Did we become the swim rings Mother mentioned?
Is Mother raising us like piglets in preparation for the new year?”
Qian Yirong agreed. He reached out to pinch his stomach and sighed.
“Pfft!” Qian Jiyun could not help but laugh.
He reminded them, “Then eat less when your mother cooks delicious food later, okay?”
That was not a good idea at all. How could they agree with that?
Qian Yirong, with a shrewd business mindset and a preference for being stuffed rather than starved, gritted his teeth and said, “Mother’s dishes are so delicious. How can we let others have everything? We have to eat our fill.”
“That’s right, that’s right. At most, we’ll eat less for lunch and save some space for dinner. It’s the same. Mother can just cook one meal,” Qian Yizheng added..
