Chapter 157 Happy Birthday, Lu Mingchuan
Lu Mingchuan put down the backpack and washed his face.
When I entered the house, Su Heng had already put the food on the table.
"I think these seeds are enough for now. Let's not go into the mountains in the afternoon," said Su Heng.
Lu Mingchuan shook his head: "I'm in a hurry right now, so I have to go this afternoon. I think the honey at home is almost gone, so I might as well go and get some back."
Last year, Song Wan went with him to have her breasts cut a few times. She didn't need that much honey, so she simply gave the prescription to Su Heng.
"But is it easy to do it alone? Be careful of being stung by bees."
That beehive was indeed large. Su Heng couldn't help but get goosebumps every time she saw the black swarm of bees flying out.
They were afraid that Lu Mingchuan would go alone and get chased by bees if he didn't handle the situation properly.
Seeing that she was so worried about him, Lu Mingchuan smiled gently in his eyes.
"No, I've fought in the woods a lot before, so I'm very experienced in dealing with little creatures like this."
Su Heng nodded, but then thought of something.
"Then why did you get stung so many times when you went with me to collect honey?"
…
Lu Mingchuan suddenly fell silent.
"A self-torture trick? Lu Mingchuan, you look so honest, but you're actually quite cunning."
Su Heng looked like he was going to settle a score later.
Lu Mingchuan quickly slid down on his knees to admit his mistake, but he still thought it was necessary to use some tricks to pursue his wife.
Otherwise, if I had pursued her honestly, my wife would have run away long ago.
He just made good use of his advantages.
Otherwise, I wouldn’t be able to sleep happily holding my wife in my arms like I am now.
After a short rest in the afternoon, Lu Mingchuan took his gear back into the mountains.
He specially brought the medicine prepared by Su Heng and the protective suit she made last year. No matter how experienced he was, he would not dare to cut the honey with his bare hands.
Su Heng was sorting the basket of seeds at home.
Not all of them were seeds. Some were seedlings that were dug up with soil.
Su Heng first quickly ripened the seedlings and put them aside.
Zhaocai saw that she threw a seedling and it grew rapidly like magic, so he stretched out his claws curiously to tease the grass leaves.
Su Heng threw a rhizome of Coptis chinensis to it with a sense of fun. Zhaocai held it like a teething stick and took a bite, then jumped up in surprise.
"Meow~"
Zhaocai whimpered softly as if he had seen something dirty. He arched his body and stretched out his claws to punch the piece of coptis twice.
Su Heng was amused and laughed out loud.
Later, when she instigated the growth of herbs again, Zhaocai squatted in the small nest on the tree and refused to come down.
Su Heng felt that ripening the seeds one by one was too slow, so he simply collected the herbs in the medicine garden and directly sowed the seeds at the back to ripen them one by one.
This means it takes some effort to dig.
However, the soil in the medicine garden is fertile, and Lu Mingchuan will water it, so the soil is relatively loose.
In just one afternoon, a large pile of medicinal herbs appeared in the yard.
There are all kinds of medicines, such as Fangfeng, Asarum, Phellodendron, and Schisandra chinensis, which are local medicinal materials.
The branches of Schisandra chinensis are so high that they almost go over the courtyard wall. This thing is a perennial vine, and its fruits look like bunches of red grapes.
Su Heng was too lazy to chop it down, but he couldn't just leave it there for someone to see.
So she ripened a few more waves, intending to wait for Lu Mingchuan to come back and deal with it.
You can cut off the branches above and leave the roots under the soil, so you can cut a few more times when needed.
A row of large winnowing baskets were set up in the yard, and fruits like Schisandra chinensis that did not need to be washed, processed, etc. were placed directly on them to dry.
Su Heng moved a stool to the side of the sink and sat down to wash slowly.
In the evening, when Lu Mingchuan came back, he not only carried a basket of seeds, but also a large bucket of honey.
Seeing Su Heng still sitting by the pool washing, he said, "Take a break and try some of this year's fresh honey."
Su Heng was indeed a little restless sitting still. The stool had no backrest and her waist was a little tired.
So she followed him into the house. There was some boiled water on the table. Lu Mingchuan scooped some honey and made her a cup first.
This honey is amber in color, crystal clear and has a strong fragrance.
Su Heng drank a cup of honey happily, and then said, "This year's honey seems to be more fragrant."
Lu Mingchuan also felt that the new honey had a stronger flavor: "Then drink this, and give last year's honey away as a gift."
Su Heng nodded, then asked casually, "What day is it today?"
Lu Mingchuan was completely unaware and replied, "It's number seven."
"Time flies by so fast."
"Well, you've been here for a year."
Looking at Lu Mingchuan who hadn't remembered anything, Su Heng felt a little amused.
"Tomorrow morning, kill a chicken for me and keep it there. I want to make some soup."
"Okay, do you want me to simmer it for you over low heat in advance?"
"That's not necessary."
The next day, after Su Heng dried all the herbs in the morning, she didn't cook lunch and went to the cafeteria for lunch.
I didn’t make chicken soup in the afternoon, but instead went to get a few eggs.
She planned to make a honey egg cake, which required a lot of skill.
The old-fashioned egg cake is made with beaten whole eggs. Su Heng held a large bowl, rolled up her sleeves and worked hard for a long time.
My arms were shaking when I finally put the enamel basin into the kiln.
I originally wanted to try whipped cream, but now I think forget it, I'll just eat the whole cake base.
Lu Mingchuan was still miserable at this time last year. All his family members were gone, and he was a sinister cripple.
Su Heng had just arrived at that time, so naturally no one celebrated his birthday.
She only found out his birthday later, and she didn't expect that he himself didn't remember it this year.
She went to the kitchen to cook only after the cake was baked.
The most delicious thing is fried chicken with firewood. Su Heng skillfully stir-fries and stews it.
One pot was more than enough for the two of them, so they didn't cook any extra dishes and just cut some potatoes as a side dish.
When Lu Mingchuan came back, he found the whole yard filled with fragrance.
The egg cake with honey is even more fragrant, not to mention the aroma of the stewed chicken.
At this time, Su Heng came out and said, "Are you back? Wash your hands and eat."
"Okay, next time if you can't wait and you're hungry, just eat first."
After Lu Mingchuan washed his hands, he saw beads of sweat on Su Heng's face, so he wet a towel and wiped her face.
Su Heng smiled and said, "We have to wait today."
Then he asked Lu Mingchuan to go to the kitchen to serve the dishes, while he went to serve the cake.
She baked it directly in an enamel basin, which was about ten inches in size.
There were no nice plates at home, so she simply brought the basin to the table.
Lu Mingchuan brought the food to the table and just sat down when he saw Su Heng staring at him leisurely.
"What's wrong? Do you want to eat some melon? I'll go cut it." As he was about to get up, he was stopped by Su Heng.
"Just sit down and relax, have you really forgotten?"
Lu Mingchuan was puzzled and began to wonder what he had forgotten.
Then Su Heng said gently, "Happy birthday, Lu Mingchuan."
"May you be as peaceful and happy as you are today."
These four words contain the most simple blessings. If people's lives could be like theirs now, it would probably be the happiest.
Lu Mingchuan was a little speechless for a moment and was stunned for a moment.
The strong and indissoluble emotions in his eyes made his eyes a little moist.
He hasn't celebrated his birthday for a long time. For several years, he was always on a mission on his birthday.
Who could have imagined the situation today?
How lucky he is to have such a wife.
"I'm very happy. Thank you, Ah Heng."
