Chapter 1125 Stepfather 36
Shen Yi made adobe bricks and mud slabs, and built kangs in both rooms of his grandparents and parents. He often went to the back mountain to hunt after work. He saw many fruit trees, and he silently memorized their locations in his mind, waiting for the autumn to come and go to the mountain to pick fruit.
"In another month, the wild apricots will be ripe." Yuanchun smiled, "Salt-baked apricot kernels are delicious, but I didn't get enough last year, so I haven't eaten enough yet."
Shen Yi raised the corners of his lips slightly, "To thank you for the herbs you gave me, I will give you a basket of apricot kernels."
"Okay."
Yuanchun readily agreed. She would not be stupid enough to refuse free labor to help her pick wild apricots.
The chicken soup was cooked, and the aroma of chicken instantly filled the entire cave. Yuanchun's mouth was watering, and he quickly took out two bowl-sized bamboo tubes and a large wooden spoon from the basket.
She first served Shen Yi a bowl, tore off a chicken leg for him, and handed him a small wooden spoon, saying with a smile, "Fortunately, when I made the bowls and spoons, I made an extra set as a backup, otherwise you would have to hold the clay pot and eat now."
"Thank you."
"You're welcome. It's a pheasant from the mountain. I didn't buy it with my own money."
"Then I'll cook a pheasant here next time and I'll treat you to it."
"Okay."
Yuanchun slurped up the hot chicken soup happily. It was fragrant and fresh, and tasted better than home-cooked chicken soup.
Normally, a pheasant is just enough for Yuanchun to eat by herself, and she doesn’t have to cook when she gets home. Now that two people are sharing a pheasant, it’s just enough to fill her stomach and won’t fill her up at all.
Shen Yi put down the bowl and said, "I'll be out for a while."
Yuanchun thought that he had drunk too much soup and wanted to go to the bathroom, but before she finished the remaining half bowl of soup, Shen Yi came in carrying six wild rabbits.
Shen Yi explained: "This is what I shot before. I thought there was a wild boar in this cave, so I put the rabbit outside."
Well, if you get involved in something, you must pay back your debts.
Yuanchun was very sure that the man in front of her was narrow-minded and vindictive. She had called him a wild boar before, and now he was calling her back.
So narrow-minded.
Yuanchun curled her lips and drank the soup slowly while staring at Shen Yi who was peeling the rabbit skins skillfully. Soon, the skins of several rabbits were peeled and they were all roasted over the fire.
An hour later, the rabbit was cooked.
He gave one to Yuanchun to eat, and Shen Yi ate one himself.
After eating and drinking, Shen Yi wrapped the remaining four roasted rabbits in large leaves, put them in the backpack, and put some wild vegetables and dry firewood on top.
"Comrade Xu, I'm leaving." Shen Yi said.
Yuanchun hummed lightly.
After Shen Yi left, Yuanchun packed up the secret base, hid the bowls, chopsticks and earthenware jars, and then went down the mountain carrying the basket on her back.
After walking for a while, she realized that there was someone following her. She was about to turn around to look when 007 said, "Host, it's Shen Yi. She was worried that it would be unsafe for you to go down the mountain alone, so she secretly waited outside the cave. When she saw you come out, she secretly walked behind you to protect you."
"Host, Shen Yi is so sweet."
007 smiled like a fangirl.
Yuanchun rolled her eyes, "Have you tried it?"
"what?"
"Didn't you say he was sweet? How do you know he is sweet if you haven't tasted him?"
"Host, you don't understand romance at all."
"As long as I can fill my stomach, what's the point of romance? Can romance fill my stomach?"
"Host, I admit defeat. I can't argue with you."
"Can you help me check how Tang Qingfeng's mission is going?" Yuanchun suddenly said.
After all, they had been husband and wife for a lifetime, so she still missed him.
Although her feelings for him were cleared, the memory was still there. She remembered that when she and Tang Qingfeng were husband and wife, Tang Qingfeng doted on her very much and gave her a lot of elixirs and talismans that he had stored from the world of immortal cultivation, which saved her a lot of points.
