What was he doing holding her hand?
This man had gotten a bit presumptuous.
Don’t think she didn’t know, he had stolen a kiss last night and even crossed over the child to hug her.
She had woken up feeling a kiss on her forehead.
Xiaoxiao screamed in her heart for him to let go, but where could Zhao Tianlei hear that? He continued holding Xiaoxiao’s hand, saying cheerfully, "Wife, after Big Brother’s house is built, let’s go to the county and shop for some cotton clothes."
There are plenty online.
Her hand couldn’t break free.
"Should we bring Da Bao and Xiao Bao?"
Give it up, if you want to hold on, then hold on!
Zhao Tianlei shook his head, "No, we won’t bring them. They’re too small, and it’s inconvenient on the bus. Let Mom watch them then."
You really are a good father!
Zhao Tianlei: Holding his wife’s hand, it was really too soft, too fragrant, he didn’t even feel like helping Big Brother with their work anymore.
Why does his wife look more and more beautiful, her hair fragrant, and her body also smelling nice?
"Xiaoxiao, I’m going to help now."
He hated to let go but he had no choice. He couldn’t delay too long, lest those helping with work notice his prolonged absence.
Finally, he left, she had thought he would never go to work.
His hand was large, and she could feel the calluses on his hand, slightly hurting her skin.
The kind of pain that could be ignored.
Da Bao took Xiao Bao to Er Dan’s house.
"Brother Er Dan, my mom said some roots can be eaten, and they taste like flour. She said she would draw them for you, so next time you go into the mountains, see if they are there. If so, dig them up and bring them back."
Er Dan thought about the cellar he had dug to hide food in there, but even though he had food, he wouldn’t receive any the next time food was distributed. It wasn’t very cold yet, he could go into the mountains to find some food to store.
Roots that taste like flour?
Flour can be used to make buns or steamed buns.
He hadn’t eaten them in many years.
"Is what sister-in-law said true?"
He had lived for more than a decade, not knowing which roots were edible, and the people in the village didn’t know either.
This meant there were plenty in the mountains, they just didn’t know they could be eaten, just like the wild fruits sister-in-law had given him, many of which he did not recognize, but sister-in-law did.
Sister-in-law had been to high school, unlike him, who hadn’t studied and didn’t recognize these things.
"It’s true, Brother Er Dan, if you don’t believe me, you can ask my mom."
Er Dan really intended to go ask.
Better to dig them up early and store them, so he wouldn’t have to worry about going hungry in the winter.
The three kids headed to Zhao Family’s house.
"Come in!" Xiaoxiao’s courtyard door was not locked - now that Zhao Tianlei was home, only someone very bold would dare to steal from them.
"Sister-in-law, I heard from Da Bao that those roots are edible, can you draw them for me to see?"
Xiaoxiao paused for a moment, "Sure."
"Da Bao, Xiao Bao, why don’t you and Er Dan play in the main room for a while, Mommy will go draw them now."
Kudzu vine, yam vine, cassava.
There should be kudzu vines in the mountains, yams might be rare, as for cassava...
Xiaoxiao took out a pen and began drawing what they looked like.
"Er Dan, look, the leaves of kudzu and yam are not small, both are green. As for this cassava, it’s like a tree, I don’t know if they are in the mountains, I haven’t seen any. This kudzu needs to be processed once dug up to get kudzu powder, finer than flour, whereas the yam can be cooked directly after digging, without further processing."
