Kang Mingyuan sat in front of the stove, lighting the fire and watching her busying herself. Although it was extremely hot, he just felt that the years were peaceful and he hoped that this moment would last forever.
"The noodles are ready, you can turn off the heat." Qiao Mo saw that he was still staring at him blankly and couldn't help but remind him.
"Okay, I understand." Kang Mingyuan quickly took the firewood out of the kitchen, and shoveled the unburned charcoal into the charcoal jar with a shovel, then covered it with a lid and let it go out naturally.
After filling their stomachs, it was not appropriate to go to bed right away, so the three of them washed up and sat in the small kitchen to chat.
"Momo, is your birthday coming soon?" Kang Mingyuan suddenly asked.
"Yes, Momo, when is your birthday?" Han Yimo asked with interest.
"My birthday is still a few days away." Qiao Mo thought about it and remembered that his master's birthday was July 26th. Thinking that he would be sixteen years old in a few days, he felt a little happy. Although he was not yet an adult at the age of sixteen, if he were in his previous life, he would have his own ID card.
"How many days will it take? Which day is it? So we can celebrate your birthday." Han Yimu continued to ask.
"On July 26th, I will treat you to spicy crayfish." Qiao Mo did not hide it from them. After all, they were eating from the same pot, so it would be impossible to hide it.
"Well, when the time comes, we'll go catch two fish and make pickled fish and boiled fish for you." Han Yimo wanted to say that they would catch two pheasants and wild rabbits on the mountain and make drunken chicken and spicy rabbit cubes for her, but then he remembered that the hunting was strict now and they couldn't go up the mountain to hunt, so he changed his mind when the words came to his lips.
"Then let me thank you, Brother Mo." Qiao Mo thanked him with a smile.
"There's no need to be polite between us." Han Yimo waved his hand and said.
Kang Mingyuan watched the two talking animatedly, but was thinking about what birthday gift to prepare for her. He thought that this was Qiao Mo's first birthday since they met, and he must prepare it well to leave her with a good memory.
However, before they could implement their plan, they received a notice to return to the East China Sea.
That day, Kang Mingyuan was holding the form for returning to the city, feeling a little confused and at a loss as to what to do. This was really too sudden. Last month, his father had written to him asking him to train well here, and less than a month later, they were asked to return home. He was not mentally prepared at all. If Qiao Mo had not come before, he would have happily filled out the form, completed the formalities, and then packed up and left.
But now, he really didn't want to leave. He didn't want to keep Qiao Mo. He didn't want her to chop wood and fetch water, and he didn't want to leave her alone to face those monsters.
"Brother Yuan, what are you thinking about?" Han Yimo saw his cousin staring at the form and pushed him.
"Yimi, I want Momo to go back to Xian with you." Kang Mingyuan expressed his idea, which was to let Qiao Mo go back to the city, and he would stay here and wait for an opportunity to go back to Xian in the future.
"Brother Yuan, Momo won't agree. Besides, if Third Aunt knew that you gave the quota for returning to the city to a girl, she would not be kind to Momo. If you want to be with Momo in the future, it's best not to do this. Otherwise, Momo will never be able to stand up in front of your mother for the rest of her life." Han Yimo felt a little scared when he thought of his difficult Third Aunt.
"I can't leave her here alone." Kang Mingyuan said firmly, "If you don't agree, I will stay with her."
