Chapter 44: Throwing Dirty Water
"I won't be polite with you. Thank you, Brother Kang." Qiao Mo saw that there were still a lot of pears and oranges left, so he didn't bother to be polite with him. He naturally took the pears and oranges and went back to the house.
After a day in the woods, Qiao Mo was covered in dirt. Of course, he couldn't lie down on the bed, so he had to enter the wooden bracelet space to wash up. After washing, he didn't even want to move his fingers. After drying his hair, he left the space and climbed onto the bed to go on a date with Zhou Xi.
She slept very soundly. When she opened her eyes again, it was already past nine o'clock. It seemed that she had to have breakfast and lunch together. She quickly got up, washed, and went to the kitchen.
At this time, Kang Mingyuan and Han Yimi had already cooked the meal and even washed and prepared the vegetables, and they were just about to put them in the pot.
"Momo, we'll eat small fish every day." Han Yimo saw Qiao Mo coming and pointed to the bowl of processed small fish and shrimp on the chopping board.
A few days ago, they made a few fish baskets with small water bamboo. When they wanted to eat fish, they would put some bait in them and put them into the Xiaoyue River in front of them. They would then pull them out the next morning. They couldn't catch any big fish, but they could find quite a few small fish and shrimps.
Although the fish and shrimp are small and do not have much meat, they are very delicious when cooked by Qiao Mo. They never get tired of eating them. The leftovers can be pickled and then dried over low heat. Then they can be cooked over low heat, which will give them an extra dish in winter.
"Tsk." Qiao Mo saw the bowl of cleanly washed fish and nodded with satisfaction: These two men are really good, I wonder who will get the good deal in the future.
After dinner, Kang Mingyuan and Han Yimo asked Qiao Mo to rest at home while they went to the mountains to take a look and chop some firewood. Qiao Mo saw the scorching sun outside and didn't want to go out, so he readily accepted their suggestion and decided to stay at home.
After watching them walk away, Qiao Mo was about to go back to the house to rest when Chu Maoshen walked up to her.
"Qiao Mo, where did you go yesterday?" When he woke up early yesterday morning, he saw that the doors of the three of them were locked. They had not returned by the time they went to bed, and he didn't know what they had been doing.
"Do I need to report to you where we went?" Qiao Mo looked at him indifferently. This man was also cruel: in just a few days, he turned Liu Ruoling, a young lady who had never done housework, into a kitchen master.
According to Tang Xinmei, Liu Ruolin came back from a walk outside that day without cooking, so Chu Maoshen said harsh words to her. Liu Ruolin originally wanted to resist, but Chu Maoshen really did not cook for her in the following days.
Finally, unable to bear the hunger, she accepted his conditions: Chu Maoshen would work to earn work points, and she would cut pig grass worth two work points every day and do housework, and the things sent by the two families would be considered their property.
"Qiao Mo, I just care about you. Kang Mingyuan and the others are men after all. As a girl, you'd better be careful when hanging out with them, otherwise it will ruin your reputation and you'll be the one who suffers in the future." Although Chu Maoshen was very unhappy with her coldness, he had to act according to the plan in order to win her favor.
"What do you mean? I ate with Kang Mingyuan and Han Yimo, two of my colleagues, but how come you said we were mixed up? Are you and Liu Ruoling mixed up too? You two single men and women are not afraid of ruining your reputation when you mix together, so why should I be afraid of eating with them?"
Qiao Mo didn't expect that he would dare to throw dirty water on her. She was so angry that she poured the half-cold cup of water in her hand on his face.
