Chapter 254 He was overthinking

Better safe than sorry.

How long will it take to earn back the four taels of silver? Doesn't it require careful planning when raising a cub?

"Mom, Jiang Nan is calling you to come down for breakfast. Grandma has bought breakfast for us..." Nanbao downstairs called her at the top of her voice.

Jiang Lianzhu agreed with her, "Okay, Jiang Nan, I'll be right down..."

“Chuckle…”

The little guy downstairs laughed heartily.

The three snow wolves also howled and followed her.

Jiang Lianzhu was really overthinking it. These children have really strong adaptability.

They are fine with their father around, and they don’t care if their father is not around.

Even more free and easy than her.

From a side perspective, this bachelor is a complete failure as a father.

Only Jiang Cheng was still scolding Wang Laowu for being heartless and speaking up for Jiang Lianzhu.

Jiang Lianzhu did not tell her the truth, fearing that the more she knew, the more disadvantageous it would be for her. It would be better for her to know as little as possible.

Therefore, Jiang Cheng really thought that Wang Laowu had eloped with a vixen.

Jiang Lianzhu just let her scold her quietly. She felt comfortable listening to people scolding Wang Laowu.

Breakfast consisted of sesame seed cakes and fried dough sticks.

Jiang Chengshi said, "We were late, and the soy milk was sold out. I heated up the leftover pork rib and radish soup from last night and had it with the soup."

"No need, Mom, I'll make some milk slices." Jiang Lianzhu took out the milk slices and made three big bowls of them.

One bowl per person.

"What is this?" Jiang Cheng was puzzled.

Jiang Lianzhu had never taken it out before, so she explained, "I made this. It's a milk tablet, similar to soy milk, but more nutritious than soy milk. Have some, baby. If you like it, I'll give you milk tablets every day from now on."

Nanbao's eyes lit up, "Great, it's so white, even whiter than soy milk!"

I picked up the bowl with both hands and brought it to my mouth, then I smelled a milky aroma. After taking a small sip, I started to gulp it down in a few big mouthfuls, finishing half of the bowl in one breath.

"Mom! I love this bowl of milk slices! It smells so good! So fragrant and rich! Grandma, you should try it too..."

Jiang Cheng was skeptical, but after taking a small sip, the wrinkles on her face smoothed out.

"Not bad, really good. It's more fragrant and mellower than soy milk..."

Jiang Lianzhu said, "Okay, as long as you like it. Mom, you can also drink this often to supplement calcium. It's definitely good for the elderly."

Jiang Cheng was confused. "What do you mean by calcium supplement?"

"It's a nutrient found in bones. Medically speaking, calcium..."

After all the explanations, Jiang Chengshi and Nanbao didn't understand everything. They only knew that Jiang Lianzhu was a doctor and everything she said must be right.

Don't think too much, just listen to her.

Whatever is said to be good is definitely good.

Finally, Nanbao didn't finish her first bowl of milk, so Jiang Lianzhu made her another big bowl. Nanbao drank two large bowls of milk, two big pancakes, and two fried dough sticks for breakfast, and her belly was full.

For the three snow wolves, all I had to do was give them a few big bones and some noodle soup.

Liao Jiu's carriage traveled hundreds of miles.

He woke up slowly at noon the next day, having hardly stopped along the way.

It was time for dinner when we stopped at a fork in a small mountain road.

"Master, how do you feel? What would you like to eat?" Xiangdong asked.

Liao Jiu had no appetite. "Whatever."

Went out east, made a fire and cooked.

These wilderness survival skills are necessary for them.

They roasted some dry bread slices, and one of the subordinates was lucky enough to catch a fat rabbit, roast the rabbit meat, and cook a pot of noodle soup.

Xiangdong tore off a rabbit leg, brought some noodle soup, and took a few slices of roasted dry steamed buns and placed them in front of Liao Jiu.

This was his exceptional performance today, especially the roasted rabbit. He even sprinkled some secret seasoning powder on it, waiting for Liao Jiu to praise him.

But Liao Jiuwei looked as if he was chewing wax.

"Is it not to your taste, Master?"

Liao Jiu said, "It's just okay."

Recalling his life at Jiang's Clinic, every meal had meat and soup, a combination of vegetarian dishes, and balanced nutrition. Even the five-spice beef jerky that Jiang Lianzhu gave him was more delicious than these.

In fact, he doesn't have a big appetite normally, but in Jiang's Medical Clinic, he can eat several large bowls of food in one meal.

Everything you eat tastes delicious, even the leaves have a special and different flavor.

By now, everyone in Shili Town probably knew that he was a heartless man...

Xiangdong had no choice but to say, "Master, if you want to eat something, tell us, and we'll find a town to stay in tonight..."

Liao Jiu decisively refused, "No need, hurry up and get on your way."

He continued to eat, but his food tasted bland.

Suddenly, a clear whistle was heard from the sky.

Liao's spirit, which had been depressed for a long time, suddenly lifted.

Lifting the car curtain, I looked towards the source of the sound...

In the distance, I saw a small black dot in the sky. It came closer and closer, flapping its wings and chasing the carriage with all its might!

Liao Jiu was excited, it was his golden eagle!

"Here comes the wind."

Xiangdong and Xiangxi naturally knew that he had tamed the troublesome golden eagle in the mountains. "Master, how did it catch up with us? Could another one have caught up with us too?"

If the other one catches up, doesn’t that mean Jiang has also caught up?

Liao Jiu was speechless.

He got off the carriage and greeted Chengfeng.

It circled in the sky with the wind, then swooped down, rubbing its big head against Liao Jiu's palm affectionately and aggrievedly.

It means to accuse Liao Jiu of leaving without saying goodbye.

Liao Jiu comforted it, "I have to go do something. I'll come back to pick you up later. It's inconvenient to take you with me, and it happened suddenly. Okay... did you catch up with me alone?"

The golden eagle chirped.

Liao Jiu's excited expression dimmed.

He was overthinking it.

***

The thatched house outside Wangjia Village is the old Wang family.

Wu Lang came back in a panic, and before he even entered the house, he shouted, "Oh no, oh no! Grandpa, grandma, oh no!"

Wang Liupo scolded, "What are you doing with your mind gone? What's wrong? Your grandfather was taking a nap, and you woke him up. Watch out for your skin... You don't help with the housework all day, but just run around outside."

Wu Lang didn't care about being scolded anymore.

She shouted, "Grandma, this is really bad. Uncle Wu ran away again!"

"What? Where did he go?" Mrs. Wang Liu didn't react for a moment.

Wu Lang's straw sandals even ran away. "I don't know where they went. It's said that they ran off with a vixen. Even Dabao and the others didn't want them anymore."

Mrs. Wang Liu snorted, "This brainless bastard has a heart like a wild horse, running away every few days. I gave birth to him in vain! And Jiang, that woman is useless, she can't keep anyone here. She's always rude to us and can't even keep a man under control. She deserves it! I just need to let Old Wang leave her alone for a few more years to suppress her arrogance. I think she's very capable. During this famine, they gave food to so many unrelated people, but we didn't see them bring back a single grain of rice. She deserves it. Old Five couldn't stand her oppression and ran away..."
