Chapter 99: Patient Hunter
Gu Dachuan also nodded, "Yes. Sister, he is a man, it's okay for him to be hungry for a few meals. You can't be hungry, you have to eat on time to keep healthy."
Gu Xiaoxi couldn't help but smile when she heard what her brother said, "Do you want to eat first or take a hot bath first?"
Gu Dachuan immediately said, "My clothes are not wet. I'll eat first."
He hadn't eaten much all day and was very hungry.
Gu Xiaoxi turned around and served him the rice, and also took out the roast chicken that was keeping warm in the bread cellar.
Lu Jiansen took a hot bath as quickly as possible and sat next to the little girl.
The coldness on his body was gone, and he couldn't help but rub her head gently.
"What did you do at home today?"
Before Gu Xiaoxi answered, Gu Dachuan couldn't help but ask, "Sister, did you go out to buy fish? It's so cold and snowing so heavily. If you want to eat fish, tell me and I'll go."
Gu Xiaoxi said helplessly: "He didn't go out. Lu Jianlin came and brought the fish."
"It's snowing so heavily, what is he doing here?" Gu Dachuan asked while eating.
"He said the army infirmary was short of staff, and Director Chen asked him to come over for a while. I stayed at home today and didn't go anywhere."
"Oh! It's good that you didn't go out. This pickled fish is so delicious!" Gu Dachuan sighed.
"Then eat more!"
Seeing that his wife was only talking to her brother and ignoring him, Lu Jiansen quietly put a piece of fish into her bowl, trying to get her attention.
Gu Xiaoxi glanced at him and then picked up a roasted chicken leg for her brother.
Gu Dachuan's face suddenly became as beautiful as a flower, and he was flattered.
Sure enough, my sister still likes him the most!
Why did Lu Jiansen feel that the smile on Gu Dachuan's face was a little unsightly?
The food was delicious and the rice was plentiful. Gu Dachuan ate three big bowls of rice before leaving.
Fearing that his sister would go bankrupt, he decided to exchange all his money for food.
Lu Jiansen also eats a lot, so he is worried.
The little girl in his family eats too little. How can she gain weight and keep a healthy body?
Since I don’t eat much, I must make sure to keep up with the nutritional needs.
So, when the little girl was getting ready to go to bed, he made her a cup of milk powder.
After Gu Xiaoxi finished drinking the milk powder, she handed him the cup. "Lu Jianlin said that Lu Jianye had returned to Kyoto, but Bi Wenyue had not left."
Lu Jiansen frowned slightly, held her hand and said, "Lu Jianye has gone back, and she will be back soon too."
"Really?" Gu Xiaoxi expressed doubt.
Lu Jiansen nodded slightly, "The Bi family also has to have some dignity."
Gu Xiaoxi felt a little confused, but she didn't want to ask further questions.
"Do you want to see what we brought back?" Lu Jiansen hugged the little girl beside him with one hand and bent down to kiss her on the lips.
Gu Xiaoxi couldn't suppress his curiosity and nodded.
When they arrived at the kitchen and saw Lu Jiansen opening the sacks and woven bags, Gu Xiaoxi discovered that there was pork in the sacks.
There was a lot of pork, already cut up, and it looked like it weighed at least 50 to 60 kilograms.
The other bags contained three pheasants, five rabbits, a wild duck, and a bag of pecans.
Gu Xiaoxi stared at them with wide eyes, "Aren't you guys on a mission?"
Why does it feel like going hunting?
"Yes, I was on a mission. On the way back, I hunted some game. I shared some of the wild boar with others."
Gu Xiaoxi's mouth twitched slightly. Is this what you call going your way?
Didn't you go there on purpose?
"How do you want to eat this pork?" Lu Jiansen asked softly.
Seeing that there was no pig intestine, Gu Xiaoxi said, "How about we smoke bacon? It lasts longer. We can save the pig's trotters for stewing tomorrow."
"Okay." Lu Jiansen immediately started to process the meat.
Gu Xiaoxi also picked up a pheasant and prepared to help.
But Lu Jiansen stopped her, "Don't get yourself dirty, I'll do it, you go to sleep first."
"Hurry up, both of you. I can't sleep alone."
As soon as he finished saying this, Gu Xiaoxi regretted it.
But Lu Jiansen's mouth kept smiling, and he did not stop her from helping.
Gu Xiaoxi poured boiling water into a basin and plucked the feathers from the three pheasants in no time.
Before Lu Jiansen could react, the knife in the little girl's hand, flashing with a cold light, had already perfectly peeled off the entire rabbit skin.
Lu Jiansen coughed lightly, his wife is so amazing!
After skinning the five rabbits, Gu Xiaoxi also plucked the duck feathers, and then she left the rest of the work to Lu Jiansen.
However, she did not go to rest. Instead, she washed her hands and knitted a sweater while watching Lu Jiansen work.
However, Lu Jiansen liked the current scene very much. The little girl knitting a sweater was surrounded by a gentle and virtuous aura.
Most importantly, she is knitting a sweater for herself!
When Lu Jiansen finished the work he was doing, Gu Xiaoxi found that the sweater she was knitting was almost finished.
She felt like she had acquired the skills of a knitting master, and she knitted sweaters at an incredible speed.
She got the feeling of weaving and could do it with her eyes closed.
When Lu Jiansen moved the brazier into the room, she also entered the room.
When Lu Jiansen warmed the quilt and prepared to go to bed, he found that the little girl was still knitting a sweater and could not help but take the sweater from her hands.
"It hurts my eyes to knit at night. I'll knit tomorrow!"
"No, I'm just a little bit short." Gu Xiaoxi took the sweater back again.
If it were much worse, she would definitely not weave it.
Seeing that she was almost done weaving, she couldn't control her thoughts.
"You go to sleep first, and I'll sit in the quilt and knit."
Lu Jiansen tried to remind her, "Are you saying that you can't sleep without me?"
Gu Xiaoxi raised an eyebrow, but his hands did not stop moving. "That's why I'm not sleeping now! Don't bother me and waste my time. I'll be ready soon."
Lu Jiansen: “…”
All right! The little girl doesn't want to sleep, so he will accompany her!
Then, let her stay with me until dawn!
He just looked at her and watched over her, with great patience, like a patient hunter.
When Gu Xiaoxi finished weaving the last stitch, buried the thread and admired her own work, the man who had been waiting for a long time pressed her down and kissed her on the lips.
…
The next day.
Lu Jiansen, who got up early, was in great spirits!
He shoveled the snow in the yard and put on the sweater the little girl had knitted overnight.
While his body was warm, his heart was also exceptionally warm.
He changed into the duck down coat that he was reluctant to wear when he went out yesterday, kissed the little girl who was still asleep reluctantly, and then went out.
Not long after he left, Gu Xiaoxi woke up.
After waking up, she was in good spirits and in a good mood.
After eating the breakfast left by Lu Jiansen, she took down the clothes that Lu Jiansen had washed yesterday, soaked the frozen clothes in hot water and washed them again, then air-dried the clothes and folded them back in the closet.
Lu Jiansen had already cleared the snow in the yard. She looked up at the thick snow on the roof and simply cleared it as well.
After doing all this, she seemed to have nothing else to do, so she used the skill of the All Things Color Card to recolor the unused wool.
