All these things were within Leng You and Xiang Wentian's expectations, even if they hadn't heard any news. However, Leng You could never have imagined such a shocking thing as setting up a memorial tablet for her.
In order to hide it from Wen Jiuyue, the two of them returned to Xiang Huaixin first.
"This...are these all from the valley?" Bai Changluo widened his eyes, especially when he saw the six fat rabbits, he couldn't help swallowing his saliva.
"Did You girl also follow you into the valley?" Xiang Huaixin frowned.
"I insisted that my brother take me there." Leng You explained hurriedly.
For her, this rare genuine kindness always makes her feel a little overwhelmed.
"Xiaotian has been a sensible child since he was young. He will not lose his sense of propriety." Bai Changpu has extremely high trust in Xiang Wentian.
"I'll go with you tomorrow." Xiang Huaixin's sudden change of subject caught everyone off guard.
"No!" Xiang Wentian refused mercilessly without even raising his eyes.
"You little brat, you dislike me again, don't you? I..."
"Let's go!" Xiang Wentian ignored his father's roar, picked up Leng You, picked up the bunch of rabbits and mushrooms, turned around and left.
"Hey... where are you going? Did you take all the rabbits?" Baichangyu swallowed again and shouted anxiously behind.
"Let Grandma Wen handle it." Leng You waved his hand kindly.
In just two days, the tacit understanding between her and Xiang Wentian had reached an incredibly magical level.
…
When this pile of fresh ingredients appeared in front of Wen Jiuyue, he was stunned for a full thirty seconds.
"The sweet potatoes are with my dad. I'll go dig some for you in a couple of days." Before Wen Jiuyue, whose eyes fell on Leng You, could speak, Xiang Wentian had already changed the subject.
"Are these all from the valley? Oh my God!" Wen Jiuyue was then plunged into endless shock.
"Grandma Wen, let's stew the rabbit later!"
Leng You is not a person with a strong appetite. Even after his rebirth, he only eats sweet potatoes.
I mainly feel sorry for the people around me. Due to the special times and environment, they all look pale and thin.
Only Xiang Wentian was better off. Being in Pingdu, at least he would get a great supply of materials. Although the variety was relatively scarce, at least he would not starve.
"Okay, okay, I'll clean up now." Wen Jiuyue was a very efficient person and he started cleaning up immediately.
Leng You and Xiang Wentian tacitly poured out the mushrooms and sorted them by type. In this season, they didn't have to worry about them going bad, because the outside of the house was a natural refrigerator. Whether it was mushrooms or rabbits, they could just thaw when they were ready to eat, and the freshness could be locked in.
Under Leng You's persuasion, Wen Jiuyue finally made up her mind and stewed two big rabbits in one go.
There are so many rabbits in the valley that they are overrun. Leng You doesn't have to worry about food and daily expenses in the future. Selling some rabbit meat from time to time is enough to support them in living a good life.
The fragrant aroma of meat soon wafted into the low, dim adobe house, and the aroma became stronger and stronger. A "gurgling" sound was heard, and Leng You held his stomach, not looking at Xiang Wentian opposite him.
This wasn’t the first time she had embarrassed herself, she was just an “eight-year-old child”.
Hearing the voice, Xiang Wentian did not look up. He seemed to be still concentrating on picking mushrooms, but the corners of his mouth were slightly raised.
"Gurgle!" Another sound rang out. Leng You tried hard to maintain her posture and pretended that she heard nothing, but her slightly trembling shoulders revealed the hardship she was enduring at the moment.
Xiang Wentian: “…”
The hand picking mushrooms paused, the corners of his mouth froze, and his ears felt hot, even though the person in front of him was only an eight-year-old child. But except for his appearance, this child really had no signs of being eight years old.
"Come, come... both of you try it and see if it's done." Wen Jiuyue brought the bowl over with a loving and doting face. She first picked up a piece of rabbit meat and put it into Leng You's mouth, then picked up another piece and handed it to Xiang Wentian.
"Okay." Xiang Wentian nodded immediately after putting the meat into his mouth.
The embarrassment slipped away.
"Delicious!" Leng You gave the answer after swallowing the meat.
Xiang Wentian did not stay to eat with Leng You and Wen Jiuyue. Instead, he brought a large clay pot of rabbit meat back to Xiang Huaixin while it was still hot, knowing that the two men must be drooling with anticipation.
The next day was the fourth day of the snowstorm and also the third day since Leng You was reborn.
Xiang Wentian came here early in the morning and started clearing the snow on the roof without even entering the house.
The two adobe houses of Wen Jiuyue's family have been built for decades. The original rafters used were thin and the thatched roofs were thin. Especially since her husband passed away, a woman would definitely neglect to take care of the house due to physical reasons.
In addition, after so many years of wind and rain, the house had already shown signs of dilapidation and could not withstand the ravages of the heavy snow.
Xiang Wentian and Leng You had already cleaned up the snow once after returning from the valley yesterday. After a night of heavy snow, the snow had piled up to half a foot thick again.
Hearing the noise, Leng You ran out of the house. The sudden gust of wind almost made her breathless.
"Youyou, don't go out, it's cold outside!" Wen Jiuyue, who was cooking sweet potato porridge, quickly put down the fire poker in his hand and chased out.
"It's not cold." The snow was falling heavily, so the temperature was not that low.
Leng You raised his head and saw Xiang Wentian carefully stepping on the rafters and waving the broom in his hand vigorously. He knew that he was afraid of collapsing the fragile roof.
He frowned slightly. It seemed that the most urgent issue at the moment was not only about filling his stomach, but also about housing.
Leng You clearly remembered that in her previous life, she was once driven out by her stepmother on a rainy day. In despair, she was met by Wen Jiuyue who was returning from the fields and took her back home.
As soon as I entered the house, I found that it was raining heavily outside and drizzling inside the house - the house was leaking everywhere.
Despite being in such a miserable situation, Wen Jiuyue still took great effort to make a bowl of steaming cornmeal porridge for Leng You, which was the best food she could come up with.
Therefore, Wen Jiuyue’s contribution to her is far more than just a drop of kindness.
Leng You was eventually pulled back into the house by Wen Jiuyue.
"Thanks to Xiaotian these two days, otherwise this house might not be able to withstand such heavy snow. Alas!" Wen Jiuyue used a broom to brush off the snow flakes on Xiang Wentian's body and sighed softly.
It is easy to imagine how difficult it is for a widowed woman to live alone.
"It's okay." Except when talking to Leng You, Xiang Wentian's words seemed to be extremely concise.
The three of them had breakfast, and Xiang Wentian glanced at Leng You.
"Brother, let's go!" Leng You was about to jump off the kang, but was caught by Xiang Wentian.
Then start wrapping it with the scarf, and after wrapping it, carry it on your back and tie it.
"Are we going to see Doctor Bai? Go ahead!" Wen Jiuyue didn't think much about it.
After carrying Leng You out of the house, Xiang Wentian took out a bag from a hidden corner in the yard and put all the tools he needed in it.
Braving the wind and snow, the two went down to the valley again.
Although there were not many words, both of them were feeling turbulent inside.
Without caring about hunting rabbits or identifying herbs, he ran straight to the marked place.
