Chapter 796: Attacking the Rough Man Orion (13)

Author: Qin Xiaozui

Xiao Nanshan walked over, took the cloth towel on the shelf next to her and put it on her body, "Ning Xi."

no respond.

He reached out and shook her shoulder, "Wake up."

"Huh?" Ning Xi opened her eyes and yawned, "Am I asleep?"

Xiao Nanshan nodded, "The water is cold, come out on your own."

After saying that, he turned and left.

Ning Xi got up, dried her body, put on clothes, returned to bed, and then shouted outside.

"Brother Xiao, I've finished washing."

Xiao Nanshan pushed the door open and came in, handling the water in the bathtub without saying a word. When he came back, Ning Xi found that he had already taken a bath.

Ning Xi hugged the quilt and asked him, "Where do you sleep?"

Xiao Nanshan took out another quilt from the cabinet and threw it on the low couch by the window, "This."

Ning Xi raised her eyebrows, she didn't expect that he really regarded marriage as a deal.

She nodded, "It's up to you."

Xiao Nanshan noticed her obscure emotions and suddenly felt a strange feeling in his heart.

…

The next morning, Ning Xi got up early to cook, and she really agreed to what she said, she would take good care of her family when she got married.

She sat on the edge of the well, dug into the meat stuffing with a bamboo skewer, quickly rubbed it on the wonton wrapper, pinched it with both hands, and a wonton with a round and red bottom fell into the wooden plate.

Before long, dozens of wontons fell into the soup made from chicken bones and boiled.

Xiao Nanshan was repairing a hoe in the yard. When Mr. Xiao came out of the house, the wontons were floating one by one.

She followed Xiao Nanshan and called Mr. Xiao "grandfather" and asked them to come over and eat wontons.

When the steaming wontons came out of the pan, she sprinkled a small handful of chopped green onion on them, and Xiao Nanshan came over and took the wontons out.

Mr. Xiao was so happy that he was full of praise.

Xiao Nanshan put down the bowl and looked up at Ning Xi, "I'm going to hoe the fields at the east end of the village. You don't have to wait for me for lunch."

This is a tacit admission that she can stay at home and not have to follow him out to do menial work.

Ning Xi nodded.

She figured that since the weather was hot now, it would be difficult to prepare food from the village and then transport it to the city for sale.

Now she has a lot of money in her hand, but it is far from enough to support her renting a shop in the city. What's more, now she has to take care of Grandpa Xiao, so she can't stay in the city forever without coming back.

Therefore, she put aside the matter of selling things for the time being. Since she married into the Xiao family, the most important thing was to improve the life of the Xiao family first.

Although Xiao Nanshan is very capable and a good hunter and farmer, he probably also has a lot of money on hand.

But his life is really rough, he doesn't pay much attention to food and drink, and he probably doesn't even come back for lunch.

Ning Xi saw that it was still early, so she went to the mountains to pick some wild vegetables.

She really didn't expect that a pheasant was delivered to her, weighing at least two or three pounds.

Ning Xi thought about it carefully, she must have good luck, otherwise she would not have been so lucky to get a chicken while walking in the mountains.

Xiao Nanshan can hunt, and she must be able to eat meat in the Xiao family. However, most of the hunting he hunts is sold in the city. Part of the money from the sales is saved, and part of it is used to buy medicine for Grandpa Xiao.

On the way back, she also picked a lot of chubby mulberries, which were sweet and sour and especially refreshing.

Back home, Ning Xi was handling pheasants and taro dug from the mountain in the yard.

Wash the taro, peel it and cut it into pieces. If you don't pay attention, your hands will feel itchy.

After the pheasant meat is marinated, heat the oil in a pan and stir-fry it.

In this era of simple seasonings, she added onions, ginger, garlic and chilies to the maximum extent, and stir-fried the pheasant meat until it was fragrant.

During this time, another pot was cooking rice. She cracked two eggs and made a bowl of steamed eggs for Grandpa Xiao.

She pounded the mulberries she picked into juice, added sugar water to boil them, and finally hung them into a well to freeze.

It was the busy farming season and the weather was hot. After Ning Xi had lunch with Grandpa Xiao at home, she put another meal into a basket and went out.

It is easy to find Xiao Nanshan. He is tall and you can lock his figure at a glance.

It was lunch time at this time, and many villagers were resting and eating under the shade of trees in the fields.

Most people ate steamed buns with water, and some ate meals sent by their families.

Ning Xi saw Xiao Nanshan sitting under a big tree enjoying the cool air and drinking water. She came over and said, "Brother Xiao, I'm here to bring you food."

Xiao Nanshan looked up and saw that there were many people resting around him.

He stood up and walked over, blocking the eyes of others behind him, "You don't have to come over."

Ning Xi sat down at the top of the tree and handed the bamboo basket over, "Here you are bringing food. Only when you are full can you have the strength to work."

Xiao Nanshan was silent and frowned slightly. He had never faced such a thing before, "It will be the same when I get back from work."

"It's different." Ning Xi interrupted him, "You are the backbone of the family. If I starve to death, who will feed me?"

Xiao Nanshan never expected that she would say such words, and was stunned for a moment.

He took the basket and looked down at her slightly, "You go home first."

"Don't worry, I'll leave after you finish eating. I'll take the dishes home and wash them on the way." Ning Xi took two steps toward the tree.

Xiao Nanshan was silent, sat down at the top of the tree, and took out the food inside.

The aroma of taro-roasted chicken penetrates your nose instantly, and the rice underneath is soaked with the fragrant soup, making you want to eat it.

However, he looked at Ning Xi first, "Have you gone up the mountain?"

Otherwise, where would the pheasant come from?

The game he had hunted before was either sold or used up to make wine. He didn't have time to go hunting in the mountains for a while, so where did this pheasant meat come from?

Ning Xi could tell that Xiao Nanshan already knew, so she said "hmm".

Xiao Nanshan looked at her lowered head and said, "I said before that you don't have to do heavy work in the Xiao family."

Looking at her lowered head and her folded hands, I suddenly felt speechless and subconsciously slowed down my tone.

"The mountains are very dangerous. After working in the fields for a few days, I will go hunting. I will keep the pheasants and rabbits and won't sell them."

Ning Xi raised her eyes and looked at Xiao Nanshan. Seeing his calm look, she nodded, "Eat quickly, the food is cold. Try my cooking."

Xiao Nanshan saw her smile and lowered his head to eat.

There were a few pieces of taro sandwiched between the piles of chicken, and even the rice underneath was fragrant.

He ate without saying a word.

Many people around him looked at his food. They smelled the fragrance blown by the wind and subconsciously swallowed their saliva. When they looked at the steamed buns in their hands, they suddenly felt that it didn't smell good anymore.

They looked at Xiao Nanshan eating with big mouthfuls, and really thought that they were Xiao Nanshan, eating that delicious food.

"That girl is Xiao Nanshan's new wife?"

"Didn't you say that you can't work with disabled hands?"

"Look, my hands are good and I can still cook."
