The two lay face to face on the bed. Yu Qian gently stroked her hair with one hand. Her freshly washed and dried hair had a pleasant fragrance. He held her hand with the other and rubbed it incessantly.

She reached out and hooked her arm around his neck. He lowered his head and could always smell a faint milky scent on her. He wondered if it was because she loved eating White Rabbit candy.

Five days passed in the blink of an eye. On Saturday, Liu Yun went to work without asking Yu Qianhe to give her a ride. She rode her new women's bicycle and took a burlap sack with her.

As soon as Liu Yun got off work, she grabbed a sack and ran downstairs. She rode her bicycle home, and in a secluded corner, she put a rabbit and a duck into the sack before heading home.

It's really great to live away from home, but now I have absolutely no chance to look around in my online space, and tinkering with things is a real painstaking task.

When he got home, Yu Qianhe was still not back. He closed the door, threw the sack into the kitchen, and then refilled the basket of eggs.

I put the small bag of potatoes I prepared last night next to the cupboard, along with four or five cabbages and a few radishes. That should be enough.

Yu Qian and Liu Yun returned after Liu Yun had washed the rice and diced the potatoes.

Seeing the things in the kitchen, she thought, "Why didn't you ask me to help move them?"

"I can carry it. There's a duck and a rabbit over there. Should we eat braised duck or braised rabbit first? Kill whichever one you want to eat first. Go ahead."

Yu Qian and Wen Yan froze, then touched their noses. "Um, wife, I don't know how. I've never killed anyone."

Liu Yun paused for a moment, then said, "What should we do? I don't know how either. How about we go back tomorrow and get it for Mom to make, and eat something else tonight?"

"Okay, what should we eat tonight? I'll wash the vegetables."

"Crack four eggs and wash some cabbage."

The next day, after breakfast, the two of them carried a sack, along with a few radishes and potatoes, and headed towards Yu's house.

Mr. Yu was also at home today and didn't go out. He was a little surprised to see the two of them and asked, "Why are you two here?"

"Come freeload a meal," he said, waving the sack in his hand.

When Yu's mother heard the noise, she came out and saw what was going on. She took the sack from Yu Qianhe's hand and said as she walked over, "Come here, let your father teach you how to kill chickens and ducks."

Upon hearing this, Yu's father laughed and said, "What's wrong with you, kid? You've been following me and your brother around for so many years and you still haven't learned this. Come here and learn."

They ate braised duck for lunch and braised rabbit for dinner. Originally, Yu's mother only planned to make half of it and have them take the rest home, but Yu Qianhe refused and made it all. He even took a bowl home with him that night.
