Mo Yunmei was completely bewildered. She felt like the world had turned into a fantasy. No one was paying attention to her anymore, as if she didn't exist. They couldn't see her or hear what she was saying!
The others really didn't want to pay attention to her, and rested after washing up.
Mo Yunmei finally realized that no one was really taking care of her anymore!
She was starving. She ate the white rice, but she was still not full. She searched the whole kitchen but couldn't find anything else to eat, so she could only drink more water.
Su Nanxi locked the door and lay down on the bed. She was exhausted and didn't want to think about anything or move at all.
Mo Qinghe gently hugged her with tenderness and slept with his head next to hers.
At dawn, Su Nanxi's biological clock woke her up, but she was still quite sleepy, so she groped her way out of bed with her eyes closed.
I touched a hot stick in the dark, and before I knew it, I touched it several times. Suddenly I realized what it might be, and my sleepiness vanished in an instant.
Ugh! Can't you just close your eyes?!
Su Nanxi was crying inside. She had touched her cheap husband's manhood again, and had even touched it several times out of sheer impulsiveness. She didn't want to live anymore!
Why are you up so early in the morning?
By the way, it seems to have grown bigger and thicker.
Oh no! She's going to turn into a fujoshi (a female fan of male-male romance)!
Mo Qinghe was woken up and saw his wife shaking her head incessantly. Thinking something had happened, he quickly got up, put his hands on her face, and held her head still.
"Honey, what's wrong?"
Su Nanxi dared not speak and eventually fled in panic.
Mo Qinghe stood there dumbfounded for a long time before he finally realized what his wife was doing. Looking down at his lower body, his face flushed.
As dawn broke, Su Nanxi and the children returned from the mountains, carrying a large bundle of grass. She planted it in the vegetable garden, in the Mo family's land at the foot of the mountain, and also in a small vegetable garden by the corner of the house.
"Third Aunt, why are you planting this grass?" Mo Jiarong asked.
The other children also looked puzzled. The grass was like a vine, long and thin, with leaves shaped like peaches, smooth and tender.
Hey! You all don't understand this, do you? This is a sweet potato vine!
After planting them, we'll have sweet potato leaves to eat!
She planted two varieties: one for eating the leaves and one for producing tubers, so that she can have both sweet potato leaves and sweet potatoes to eat in the future!
Mo Qiushuang asked with a hint of heartache, "Third Aunt, why did you cut off all the leaves? Will it still survive?"
It can survive; the main reason for cutting it is to reduce water loss.
The child seemed to understand, but not quite. Since his aunt was planting so much, it must be good stuff, so he should help plant it.
The adults didn't interfere; they let the children do whatever they wanted in the open space.
We stir-fried the potato leaves we had cut at noon, and everyone thought they were delicious, even better than the wild vegetables we had picked before!
Qin said she wanted to plant some so they could eat them regularly.
The children happily said that they had already planted them and watered them.
Mo Qinghe really liked sweet potato leaves. Seeing how happily he was eating them, Su Nanxi decided to water and fertilize them properly from now on.
During their afternoon nap, it was unbearably hot, so Su Nanxi got some ice to cool them down, and the room wasn't too hot for the two of them.
The wooden tub wasn't near the bed. Su Nanxi was worried that Mo Qinghe was still hot, since men are full of energy and sweat more easily, so she took off his clothes again.
Seeing that his wife was becoming more and more familiar with the process, Mo Qinghe's eyes gleamed, and he let her do it herself.
It wasn't so hot anymore, and Su Nanxi could barely stand it, so she stopped wearing long sleeves and trousers.
After lying down, Mo Qinghe naturally took Su Nanxi's hand and asked, "Tomorrow, we're going to town to prepare a gift for Jiaxing to become an apprentice. Do you want to come along?"
A ceremony for taking a master?
She didn't understand, but if she could go, she definitely would!
Mo Qinghe touched her face, a little regretfully, "I can't go with you. Be careful out there, okay?"
Okay! Got it!
In the afternoon, Su Nanxi and a group of children fetched water to water the sweet potato vines. She secretly added spiritual spring water to the water so that it would take root and sprout faster.
The villagers were curious about what they had planted and came over to ask if it was edible. Some even asked if they had any more, as they wanted to plant some too.
They felt that following suit might yield unexpected results. The Mo family planted so much; if it didn't turn out well, who would bother to bother?
Su Nanxi gave the remaining seeds to the villagers who wanted to plant them.
Su Nanxi wanted to eat dinner that evening, but she didn't want to eat alone in secret. She wanted everyone to eat, mainly because she was worried that Mo Qinghe would be hungry.
How can you not be hungry if you only eat one meal a day?
Although they can have steamed buns for breakfast now, the nights are still long, and they are too hungry to sleep.
She took out the two specially made winnowing baskets and started making winnowing basket flour.
To that end, she harvested all the chives she had planted at home and also picked a bunch of green beans.
Everyone gathered around when they saw that she was making something new, and it looked very interesting.
Su Nanxi asked her two sisters-in-law to help her, and the three of them worked together very well without needing to say much.
You can eat the rice noodles as you make them, one at a time. After they're cooked, you put your favorite fillings on top, wrap them up, put them in a bowl, and finally pour on the sauce before eating.
After serving the two elders, Su Nanxi made some for Mo Qinghe, adding extra filling as a special touch.
The child exclaimed, "Third Aunt, this rice noodle soup has so much filling! Who's it for?"
Su Nanxi smiled and glanced at Mo Qinghe.
"Oh!" The children burst into laughter, raising the last syllable of their voices high in a teasing tone.
Su Nanxi feigned anger and glared at the children, but the children were not afraid and laughed even harder.
The other six people laughed along with them. Mo Qinghe didn't laugh, but he was overjoyed inside. He felt like he had eaten honey!
With many people working together, things get done quickly. Soon, everyone had their favorite noodles, and the room was filled with joy.
Mo Yunmei waited to eat as usual. She had come to check, but thinking that it had been so long, it wouldn't be her turn so soon, so she went back. When she thought it was about time and went back, there was no more filling, only rice porridge.
Everyone else finished eating and went to wash the dishes, ignoring her.
Mo Yunmei was dumbfounded; she had no idea how to do it! How was she supposed to eat this?!
Seeing Su Nanxi in the courtyard keeping Mo Qinghe company, pinching his hands and cheeks, she was furious and stormed over.
"Can't you see there are still people in the family who haven't eaten enough? You're just sitting here doing nothing! What kind of sister-in-law are you? Showing affection in public, aren't you ashamed!"
The courtyard fell silent instantly, as if a pause button had been pressed.
Su Nanxi paused for a moment, then resumed her normal actions, continuing to play with Mo Qinghe's hand. Mo Qinghe remained indifferent, letting his wife play with his hand.
The others quickly returned to normal, going about their business without even glancing at him.
Mo Yunmei got even angrier and pointed at Su Nanxi, yelling, "Did you hear that? All you do is cling to men, you shameless thing!"
Su Nanxi raised an eyebrow. How was it shameless for her to cling to her husband?
She took Mo Qinghe's hand and gave it a big kiss, then gave Mo Yunmei a provocative look. Seeing Mo Yunmei stare with dead fish eyes, she leaned closer to Mo Qinghe and gave him another big kiss on the cheek.
Then he stood up, raised his head, and gave a wicked smile.
So what if she's clingy to men?
Grandma even gave him a kiss!
"You...you're going to be drowned in a pig cage!"
