Lu Chenyan stared at his father's hand for a while, then picked up a twig and, recalling how his father had written the characters, perfectly copied the three characters "Lu Chenyan".
Lu Shiyan looked at the words on the ground and was slightly surprised. Then he smiled and patted his head, "Yes, that's how it's written, very impressive."
Seeing that he could memorize the stroke order after only one look, Lu Shiyan's teaching speed increased.
He kept leveling the ground in front of him and writing new characters on it. Lu Chenyan also used his small, tender hands to repeatedly trace the characters that Lu Shiyan had taught him on the ground with a twig.
Seeing that Lu Chenyan was very interested in learning, Lu Shiyan simply made him a sand table specifically for practicing calligraphy.
While Lu Shiyan was teaching his son to write, Jiang Tangtang also started a new round of hunting in the wild.
Seeing the large patch of tender amaranth on the ground, so juicy it looked like it could be squeezed for water, Luo Taohua grinned from ear to ear, "This amaranth is so tender! When we're digging for wild vegetables, we always come with our third sister-in-law."
As she spoke, she squatted down and quickly began pinching.
The soil here is very moist, so leave the amaranth roots underground and don't pull them out; you'll be able to harvest a second crop soon.
Jiang Tangtang didn't join them in picking amaranth. Instead, she followed the system's instructions to collect bird eggs and raid pine nests. Most importantly, she took the opportunity to secretly retrieve some items from her spatial storage.
When she returned, she was so tired from carrying too many farm tools that she could only take a small bag of flour from her spatial storage.
This small bag of flour won't last long; she'll have to find another opportunity to take things out of her spatial storage.
The squirrel hole was her idea.
She first moved the beans, rice, and other things from her spatial storage to the squirrel hole, then feigned surprise and exclaimed, "Wow! Sister-in-law, look what good stuff I found!"
Both of them were drawn by Jiang Tangtang's voice and hurried over to see what was inside the pine tree hollow. They were overjoyed to see what was there.
Although the two were puzzled as to why there were beans and rice in the pine tree hole, they didn't think much of it.
Luo Taohua quickly took off her outer garment, laid it in the basket, and carefully took the things out of the tree hole.
Originally, there were only a few nuts in the squirrel hole, but Jiang Tangtang put in a lot of mixed beans and rice, filling the squirrel hole to the brim. In the end, she took it out and filled a whole basket.
Luo Taohua and Zhou Qiongniang were overjoyed, feeling that Jiang Tangtang was indeed enlightened by the gods and had great fortune. Following her to dig for wild vegetables, they found that they always had a good harvest.
Jiang Tangtang was also in a good mood.
After this experience, she will be able to use the excuse of the squirrel's nest to frequently take things out of her spatial storage.
People in this era often ground beans into powder and mixed them with other grains to make cornbread, which was the staple food for the poor.
But Jiang Tangtang felt that she could change the way she ate the beans, whether it was making soy milk, tofu, or dried tofu, they would all taste pretty good.
There's also kueh, which is known as the caviar of grains in modern times. It has a fresh grassy aroma, a soft and smooth texture, is easy to chew and swallow, and is very low in calories and fat. She used to eat it often when she was trying to control her weight.
While thinking about how to make delicious food to treat herself, Jiang Tangtang continued to use the system to collect bird eggs and dig for wild vegetables.
Jiang Tangtang has started to enjoy playing jungle.
However, as it was getting late, all the baskets and carrying containers that the group had brought were already full.
She seemed a little reluctant to leave and invited the two of them to go back together.
Jiang Tangtang wanted to eat steamed buns, but the dough hadn't risen yet, and it would be past midnight by the time the buns were ready.
After a long day, she was starving. She picked out a handful of pine nuts from the basket to fill her stomach, and then asked Zhou Qiongniang to cut some pickled wolf meat and stir-fry it with wild garlic.
On weekday evenings, Su Shi would be reluctant to eat rice, but when Jiang Tangtang and Lu Shiyan were at home, she would have rice prepared for them.
The marinated wolf meat has no gamey smell and is very fragrant when stir-fried with wild garlic.
Everyone ate to their heart's content.
The villagers, smelling the delicious aroma wafting from the Lu family's house, couldn't help but salivate. But they were only envious.
Everyone knows that the Lu family is able to eat meat and rice thanks to Jiang Tangtang and Lu Shiyan's abilities.
They only have this peaceful life because of the Lu family.
Although no one had the audacity to slap them while they were eating at the Lu family's house, Jiang Tangtang still felt that living outdoors like this was too inconvenient.
He was thinking to himself that the house needed to be built as soon as possible.
However, clearing land is just as important as building houses.
She felt seriously that there weren't enough people in the valley. Actually, with the food in her space, hiring more people wouldn't be a problem.
But thinking that hiring outsiders would easily cause chaos and be difficult to manage, she quickly stopped herself from having the idea.
When Lu Shiyan returned from bathing in the river with Lu Chenyan, he saw her frowning and shaking her head, as if she was troubled by something. He couldn't help but ask, "What are you thinking about?"
Jiang Tangtang shook her head. "It's nothing. Did you check the defensive outposts at the mouth of the valley today? Are there any problems?"
Lu Shiyan unfolded the blueprints and offered his opinion.
He simply made some minor improvements to Jiang Tangtang's original drawings. Without his suggestion, Jiang Tangtang felt that they were more perfect and would save more labor.
After discussing defense for a while, Lu Shiyan brought up the matter of teaching Lu Chenyan to read.
After describing Lu Chenyan's photographic memory and the results of today's teaching, he added, "These days you've been in the valley, so teach him to recognize some characters. After I go out, I'll find some books and bring them back for him."
Although Jiang Tangtang knew that the little guy was a genius, she was still surprised when she heard that Lu Shiyan had taught him more than a hundred characters in one afternoon, and that he not only remembered them all but could also write them.
She patted the little guy's head. "You're really good."
The little one is so good at studying, she feels she will soon find a helper.
In the future, she can copy down those long books that the system randomly selects that she doesn't want to read and give them to the little one to read.
Three-and-a-half-year-old Chenyan had no idea what terrible thoughts his mother had. He hugged Jiang Tangtang affectionately and asked her if she wanted to leave.
Jiang Tangtang hugged him, pinched his cheek to make sure he didn't lose any flesh, and then said, "What? Missing your mother?"
Since Lu Shiyan saved him from drowning with his spiritual energy, Lu Chenyan's personality has gradually changed.
Normally, he would not have answered.
But then, he paused for a moment, and honestly replied, "Yes."
"We're not leaving. We'll stay in the valley with Xiaoyan."
Jiang Tangtang thought the little guy was getting cuter and cuter. She rubbed his face again and decided to continue feeding him to make him even fatter.
If she were a little fatter, she would definitely feel even better, and it would be more comfortable to pet her.
