Su Ying and her colleagues dug in the fields until dark before they finished work and went home.
We ate some dry food at noon, and when we got home we were all starving.
Su Ying went into the main room and gulped down a bowl of water, which helped to reduce the heat in her body.
Because the food was low in oil, Su Ying put ginseng energy candy in everyone's water bottles. Otherwise, it would be difficult to sustain themselves until the evening with just that little bit of dry food.
"How is the fish pond being dug today?" Xiao Jin looked at Su Ying's rosy cheeks, which were like tempting fruits, making people salivate.
Su Ying took the wild fruit he handed over and took a bite. In an instant, the sweet and sour taste filled her entire mouth. The sweetness made her saliva secrete more vigorously.
"It's no big deal, just a little hiccup."
Xiao Jin raised his eyebrows in confusion, "What?"
"When we were digging the fish pond, we accidentally dug up someone else's grave. Someone came to make trouble, but I think he wanted to take the opportunity to blackmail us. I chased him away." Su Ying roughly told Xiao Jin what happened during the day.
After hearing this, Xiao Jin was silent for a while before he said, "Since those people are here to blackmail us, they are mostly shameless scoundrels. I'm afraid they will come again."
Su Ying also felt that they would not give up. "Cheng Ming said that he would take a few people to guard the fields at night, just in case." Many seeds had just been planted. If they were destroyed, all their work would be in vain.
Seeing that she had thought it through carefully, Xiao Jin didn't say anything else.
For dinner at night, He Shouyi stir-fried two wild rabbits that he and Wang Su had caught while chopping firewood, cooked a wild vegetable egg drop soup, and stir-fried some leftover pork. There were not many dishes, but the portion was sufficient. A lot of lard was made from the pigs that had been killed previously, and it was particularly fragrant when used to cook.
He Shouyi now divides the dishes into two large portions, one for them to eat, and the other for No. 1 and his friends. This is Su Ying's instruction. She said that if they are not full, they will not have the energy to work, so Mei will always provide enough for one meal.
Su Ying held the bowl and drank soup. As the climate changed, she thought about the tiger bones in the space and the supplies she had stockpiled in various cities before, and how to get them out.
He Shouyi had said before that soaking tiger bones in wine was very tonic, so she had to find a chance to get all that stuff out.
After resting, Su Ying carried hot water to the bathroom. In order to make it convenient for them to bathe, Tian Mu specially built a bathroom behind the main courtyard when building the house, so that Su Ying and Xiao Jin would have a separate bathing space.
Su Ying poured the hot water into the big bucket, and the two little kids followed in.
"Mother, I want to take a bath with you."
As soon as Erbao entered the room, he hugged Su Ying's thighs and stared at Su Ying with his big eyes.
"Okay, I'll take you to wash."
Erbao saw Su Ying agreed, and danced with joy, not forgetting his brother, "Brother, let's wash together."
Dabao frowned in confusion, "No."
Erbao tilted his head curiously, "Why?"
Dabao said with a stern face: "Daddy said that I am a man and cannot take a bath with girls."
When Erbao heard this, his eyes widened and he said, "You're talking nonsense! I clearly saw Daddy and Mommy taking a bath together!"
Su Ying: “…”
"Ling'er, mother thinks you are mistaken. Maybe your father was just passing by."
"Impossible! Ling'er clearly saw Daddy helping Mommy take a bath!" Erbao said loudly, as if this could further prove that what he said was true.
Dabao looked at Su Ying with some doubt, "Really, mother?"
Su Ying rubbed her brows and suddenly felt that she seemed to pay attention to the gender education of the doll. "No, it's fake."
“Mother, but Aunt Lin also saw it! And Aunt Bai Shuang also saw it, and… wuwu, wuwuwu…”
Erbao struggled to pat the hands that were pinching his little mouth. Su Ying looked expressionlessly at Lin Zhuyu, Bai Shuang and others who were silently passing by the yard, and closed the door with a bang.
"Okay Ling'er, brother is right. He is a man and cannot bathe with us. What happened before doesn't count. It won't count in the future. Do you understand?"
Erbao puffed up his face unconvinced, "Why?"
"Because Ling'er has grown up." Su Ying pinched her chubby little face, "Ling'er is a girl and cannot take a bath with a boy. Even Daddy can't do that, okay?"
Seeing that Su Ying was serious about what she said, Erbao nodded, as if he understood, "Okay, Mom."
Su Ying took Dabao out of the bathroom and asked Jiang Yang and others to help him take a bath.
Su Ying took Erbao to wash together.
After washing, Su Ying just dressed Erbao and then she ran out in a hurry.
When Su Ying followed him out of the house, she heard Erbao say to Xiao Jin, "Daddy, you are a man, you can't sleep with me, take the quilt and go to sleep next door." After saying that, he picked up the quilt for Xiao Jin and stuffed it into his hands.
Xiao Jin looked up at Su Ying, asking with a slightly dissatisfied look what was going on.
Su Ying looked at his frustrated look and said with a smile: "Don't look at me, you said yourself that there are differences between men and women."
The veins on Xiao Jin's forehead twitched. Is this what he meant by the differences between men and women?
"Ling'er, Daddy and Mom are husband and wife, and they should sleep in the same room." Xiao Jin explained patiently.
Erbao didn't understand, "As a couple, can we just hug, kiss and lift each other up?"
Su Ying: “…”
Xiao Jin: “…”
"Really? Really?" Erbao insisted.
Xiao Jin said: "Yes."
Erbao turned around and walked towards Su Ying with his short legs, pulling her to Xiao Jin.
"Then... Ling'er, let Daddy hug and kiss you."
Su Ying: "..." Listen to me, thank you...
Xiao Jin looked at Su Ying, his deep black eyes revealing a meaning that she could not understand.
That look was very similar to the irrepressible excitement a dog feels when he sees a wild boar.
Su Yingmei's heart skipped a beat, thinking that she might be a wild boar that was about to be eaten... She quickly carried Erbao to the window, "Okay, Ling'er, go to sleep, mother is already sleepy."
Looking at Su Ying's hastily dodging back, Xiao Jin narrowed his eyes. He felt that he needed to let Su Ying know the meaning of husband and wife.
As the night deepened, most people in the Tiger Camp went to sleep.
There were only a few lonely lights lighting up the fields. Guards Cheng Ming and No. 3 to No. 6 took turns patrolling the fields.
At this time, several figures hidden in the dark were sneaking around.
"Damn it, they're still keeping watch. How can we start this?"
"Why are you in such a hurry? Wait a little longer. I don't believe they can leave all night. I saw them plant a lot of potatoes during the day. If we dig them out, I don't know how long they will last!"
"Hurry, look, those two are leaving, go now!"
