The threshold of the gate was a bit high, and the little Dumpling couldn't easily step over it.
Seeing the kid struggling to climb over the threshold and staggering inside while calling "Mom", Lu Changge retracted his gaze.
[There is a grape vine in the yard. Find a spot for yourself.]
[Yes, Master.]
Lu Changge was carrying the things back home, and when his master stepped over the threshold, Da Teng found the right moment to slip away from his fingers.
The big vine fell to the ground, and the tender buds instantly turned into brown thin vines, which slowly wandered to the main vine of the grape vine in the yard.
Get in and take its place.
In a place where no one can see, the grape vines that have climbed the entire courtyard wall are quietly stretching out.
The leaves that were originally wilted by the scorching sun seem to have become greener and more vibrant.
Putting the prey aside, Lu Changge walked to the water tank and filled a bucket with cool water.
At this time, Su Qingyun came out of the kitchen carrying dishes, followed by a little tail wearing a wreath.
"Husband, it's time to eat." Su Qingyun said.
"good."
"Daddy, my father made some meat and some buns!"
Sweating all over, Lu Changge went back to his room to change clothes.
When I came out, the food was already on the table and little Tuanzi was sitting obediently in his special chair, holding a spoon in his little hand waiting for his meal.
"Daddy, eat!"
"good."
Su Qingyun brought over the last dish of soup and frowned when she saw the little girl still wearing a wreath on her head.
"Tuanzi, it's time to eat. Take off the wreath on your head."
"But...but Er Er said he wanted to smell the scent of meat."
[Yes, yes, I haven’t eaten meat for a long time. My dear master, please secretly save a few pieces of meat for me later. The dishes cooked by your father are so delicious. I am drooling...]
"No, Tuanzi's head will get dirty." Tuanzi muttered softly.
[No, no! I'm just giving you a metaphor. Do you know what the metaphor is? It means that the food your father-in-law cooks is so delicious that I want to drool...] Er Teng said.
[Nito, shut up.]
Lu Changge sighed and was in a very bad mood.
Er Teng: “…”
Well, it forgot its owner was there again.
"It can smell even if you put it on the table." Su Qingyun said.
"Really?" Tuanzi was skeptical.
"Really? If you don't believe me, ask daddy." Su Qingyun said calmly.
Hearing this, the little boy looked at his father who was sitting opposite him.
"Well, put it down."
Lu Changge's attitude towards the little brat was quite nice and gentle.
But to Er Teng, it was like a biting cold wind.
[Ni Teng, didn’t I just ask you to solve the problem?]
How come even his wife knew about it?
[I……]
[Shut up and talk after dinner.]
Er Teng: “…”
It just wanted to explain that the lady didn't know, and the lady didn't believe what the young master said at all.
Unfortunately, its owner didn't let it finish its words.
"Er Er, what did you say?" asked the little girl in confusion.
After waiting for a long time without hearing Er Teng's voice, Xiao Tuanzi thought that Er Teng was missing.
"Er Er, are you still there?"
"Tuanzi, you can't talk while eating." Su Qingyun reminded.
In their family, Lu Changge is a man of few words and can hardly utter a word for a long time.
Su Qingyun is also a relatively introverted person and rarely says nonsense.
Little Dumpling does talk a lot, of course, only in front of the couple.
However, children are easily choked if they talk while eating, so they have this rule in their family.
[Still here, still here! My dear master, please stop talking to me. Let’s talk after dinner!]
Can't you see that the Master's cold gaze is about to pierce me? !
"Okay." The little dumpling responded obediently and buried his head in eating.
Lu Changge's appetite is astonishing. He eats as much as three people, so he has to cook a large table of dishes every time.
Su Qingyun is now three months pregnant. It is difficult for her to pick up dishes that are far away after sitting down, so she needs Lu Changge's help.
Lu Changge first picked up some food for his wife, then scooped a spoonful of minced tofu and meat for the kid, and then started eating.
Little Tuanzi ate very quickly and finished the minced tofu and meat in just a few bites.
It's quite like the days when people drank milk spoonful by spoonful.
"Daddy, I want some buns." The little dumpling licked the rice grains on the spoon and pointed at the buns that were a little far away from him.
The buns are very small, so small that you can finish them in two bites, similar to glutinous rice balls.
These are what Su Qingyun made this morning to make dumplings. There are three left now.
After eating the steamed buns, he turned his attention to the braised pork bones.
"Daddy, eat the big bones!"
Su Qingyun heard this and said, "The big bone belongs to your father. You can't chew it."
"Sure, Tuanzi, bite it with your teeth!" Little Tuanzi looked at the big bone and smacked his lips.
In the past, Tuanzi felt that big bones had no meat and were not tasty, and they were too big to fit in his small bowl.
But Er Er just kept saying that big bones are the most delicious, and he also wanted to try it.
"Okay, I'll pick a small one for you."
Seeing her husband say this, Su Qingyun had no choice but to give up, but still reminded, "Help Tuanzi put on the bib to avoid getting his clothes dirty."
"Um."
After putting on the bib and rolling up the sleeves, the little dumpling picked up the big bone and started chewing it.
"Wow! Great!" Little Tuanzi's eyes lit up and he took another bite.
After chewing the meat, he licked the sweet sauce on the bones.
By the time he was done eating, his face and hands were dirty.
By the time Tuanzi finished chewing the bones, Daddy and Mum had finished their meal.
His father was clearing the table.
[My dear little master! There are still some pieces of meat on the table. You just promised me that you would leave some for me!]
"Ni-er!" After hearing Er-teng's voice, Tuanzi remembered that Er-er could speak.
[Meat! My meat! My little master, hurry up!]
Er Teng watched his master clear the table and pour the leftovers into a basin, and his meat was about to be destroyed, so he said excitedly.
"good!"
Little Dumpling sneakily ran to the other side and looked up at his father.
Thinking that his father had not noticed him, he stood on tiptoe to grab a few pieces of meat from the bowl on the table, then quietly ran away.
[My little master, my little master! I am still here! Come back and take me with you!]
If it wasn't for the fact that he couldn't move in front of the lady, Er Teng would have run after him long ago.
"Hehe, I forgot." Tuanzi ran back embarrassedly and took Ertong with him.
After cleaning up the dining table and kitchen, Lu Changge began to clean the prey he had brought back.
A small adult wild boar and two fat rabbits.
"Husband, aren't we going to take these to the town to sell them?" Su Qingyun asked.
In the past, most of the wild boars that Lu Changge brought back from the mountains were taken to the town.
Although their family has several acres of good farmland, their income still comes from hunting.
"I won't sell it. I'll save it as bacon."
After hearing Lu Changge's answer, Su Qingyun nodded without saying anything. Anyway, her husband made all the important decisions at home.
After thinking for a while, Lu Changge reminded him, "I will go into the mountains for the next few days. I won't be back for lunch. If I come back late at night, you and Tuanzi can eat first."
After three years of marriage and a child, Lu Changge's personality has changed a lot.
At least when he talks to his wife, he no longer just utters a few words at a time.
"What's wrong?" Su Qingyun asked puzzledly.
In the past, when Lu Changge went into the mountains, he would come back to eat at noon and would not go out again in the afternoon.
"The weather has been a little weird these days. I'm going to store more food."
"Aren't there still plenty of food at home?" Su Qingyun was puzzled.
The family had half of the warehouse filled with unhusked rice, more than ten bags of flour, more than ten bags of rice, and all kinds of bacon and dried meat hanging on the beams of the warehouse.
"There is no such thing as too much food."
For Lu Changge, the food stock at home is not enough for his family to eat for two years.
Locust plagues and droughts will definitely lead to the complete failure of crops in the fields, and there will also be subsequent floods and plagues.
Lu Changge didn't care much about these. What he cared about was the war that the system mentioned.
If there is a war, he will have to leave here, so he has to prepare everything now.
Besides, with several disasters happening one after another, who would have the energy to farm?
Even if there is, is there land to farm?
Lu Changge could have anticipated that food would be extremely scarce at that time.
It’s better to prepare more now.
Anyway, the extra ones can be put into the system space.
"Okay... then be careful when you go into the mountains."
"Well, go sit under the shade of the tree. It's too hot here." Lu Changge reminded.
They have several fruit trees at home.
There are pomegranate trees and date trees planted against the wall of the yard, persimmon trees and apple trees on both sides of the gate, and grape trees climbing on the wall.
These are recommended by villagers and are said to be auspicious houses.
But Lu Changge doesn't care about these, what matters most is that the food tastes good.
The sun was so strong at noon that even the air was hot.
As soon as Su Qingyun walked under the grape vine trellis, she felt the heat around her dissipate.
The big vine that had hidden its fame and merit quietly moved its leaves.
Driven by the leaves, a breeze blew by, taking away the heat.
Also, remove any bugs hiding on the leaves.
Su Qingyun, who was lying on a rattan chair, saw Tuanzi squatting in the sun, not knowing what he was doing.
"Tuanzi, come here to your father." Su Qingyun shouted.
Hearing his father calling him, the little boy stood up quickly and ran over.
"Mumfather!"
"Is it hot?"
As Su Qingyun spoke, she took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat off his head, then reached out and touched his back to see if he was sweating.
"It's not hot, it's cool here." The little girl raised her head and let her father wipe her neck.
"Go check if the grapes are ripe. If they are, pick a bunch for my father."
In order to prevent Tuanzi from accidentally getting heatstroke from running around, Su Qingyun found something for him to do.
"good!"
At this time, the grape trees have already borne fruit, but the fruits are still a little green.
However, now that the grape trees in the yard have grown into large vines, it is still easy to ripen the grapes.
Little Dumpling carefully pulled aside the leaves to look for grapes, and when he found none, he ran to the other side.
"Father! There are fruits here!"
"This color is not ripe, purple is ripe, just like the clothes that my father wore yesterday." Su Qingyun took a look and reminded.
Then he asked, "Do you remember what color clothes your father wore yesterday?"
"remember!"
Little Dumpling continued to look.
Da Teng quietly moved the purple grapes that were hanging a little high down.
"Found it!" Little Dumpling looked up and saw a purple grape sticking out from the leaves.
I lifted the leaves and was stunned.
The little dumpling raised his head, stood on tiptoe, opened his mouth and bit the one at the bottom.
"Mmm, sweet!"
Seeing Tuanzi opening his mouth and biting, Su Qingyun felt helpless, "Tuanzi, you have to wash the grapes before eating them."
"Not dirty!"
Little Tuanzi thinks Guoguo is as pretty and shiny as the beads on her father's head.
Little Dumpling reached out, grabbed the big grape, and pulled it off easily, not feeling anything was wrong at all.
Then he ran to his mother with the grapes in his hands.
