The arrogant little husband is desperately flirting with the hunter

Back at the thatched cottage, Chu Xiao looked at the shrimps and crabs in the bucket, took out the wine jar and said, "I'll soak these first and make drunken shrimps and crabs tomorrow. How about making sweet and sour fish tonight?"

"Okay, I'll do as you say." Yan Zhenshen took the hoe and asked, "Where do you plan to plant the osmanthus tree?"

Chu Xiao casually pointed outside the yard, and Yan Zhenshen picked up a hoe and went to dig a hole.

Chu Xiao was cooking in the kitchen. When she heard Yan Zhenshen scolding the wolf cub, she knew that the wolf cub must have gone out to make trouble again.

Sweet and sour fish requires more ingredients and is complicated to make. Yan Zhenshen doesn’t seem to like sweet and sour things very much. Besides, the fish is not small, so Chu Xiao thought about it and decided to chop off the fish head and make a fish head tofu stew.

Yan Zhen dug a deep hole and poured two buckets of water into it. Only then did he let Chu Xiao take the osmanthus tree out of the space and pick the flowers. The faint fragrance of osmanthus soon filled the courtyard.

The meal was not ready yet, so Yan Zhenshen went to the river to fetch water, even though Chu Xiao always said that he should do this kind of work that required physical transportation, after all, he had the space.

But as a man, and a physically strong man at that, he naturally doesn't want to really live off his husband, and he has to show a little of his masculinity occasionally.

It was the first time for both Yan Zhenshen and Chu Xiao to eat sweet and sour fish. Chu Xiao preferred this kind of sour and sweet food, but Yan Zhenshen had a special liking for fish head and tofu soup.

After running in the mountains for a day, Chu Xiao was naturally a little dirty. After dinner, Chu Xiao said he wanted to take a bath by the river, but Yan Zhenshen had already boiled hot water in the pot, "The water is cold, just take a bath at home."

When fetching water, Yan Zhenshen tested the water temperature in the river. The sun was not very strong today and the river water was slightly cool.

Chu Xiao didn't have to go. After a simple wash with warm water, he went back to the room and made the bed.

There was nothing to do in the mountains at night, and the kerosene lamp could only illuminate a small area. Chu Xiao was too lazy to read a book.

Yan Zhenshen checked his surroundings before coming back, blowing out the light and getting on the kang. Chu Xiao hadn't fallen asleep in the first place, so as soon as the man lay down, he naturally curled up in the man's arms, drawing circles on his chest out of boredom.

Yan Zhenshen felt his chest and heart itching because of the little hand, and his endless energy as a young man naturally found a place to use it.

After accompanying her husband to collect mountain products for a few days, Yan Zhenshen went out hunting again. Since he didn't need to catch badgers, he didn't need to walk in the snow.

Chu Xiao has Yan Zhenshen accompanying him day and night these days, and he can also take time out every day to cook his favorite food. His mood is much better than usual.

Thinking that the hazelnut trees in the Dongshan Valley should be ripe, Chu Xiao hummed a little tune and set off on his snow-covered journey.

Hazelnut trees are neither tall nor thick, and many women and men in the village like to cut these and bring them back when they go up the mountain to collect firewood.

The hazelnuts that were still covered in green skin a few days ago have now turned yellow, and many even have holes eaten by insects.

It seems that I came a little late. I spent nearly two hours picking and choosing, but the harvest was less and it took more time. I should come earlier next year.

Fortunately, I got a basket full of them, which is enough for my own consumption if I don’t sell them.

In the evening, Yan Zhenshen came back and handed a beehive to Chu Xiao. Chu Xiao happily took it, but the man's next words froze his smile on his face.

"I'll take the beehive you brought back last time tomorrow and put some honey in it so bees can live in it."

Chu Xiao: “…” Are you making fun of him for killing all the bees?

Yan Zhenshen knew that his husband would definitely think too much, so he broke off a piece of honeycomb and put it next to his mouth, explaining: "The honeycomb we found today is on the cliff, so it is not afraid of being harmed by other animals. I will get it for you next year."

Chu Xiao naturally liked sweet things. The honeycomb he made last time was very big. Chu Xiao left a small can for his family and gave the rest to Luo Ge'er. However, Luo Ge'er would not take it for free, so he packed half a bag of peanuts for the Yan family.

Chu Xiao didn't bother to get angry because there was something delicious to eat, and he started eating the honeycomb with a smile.

Seeing Chu Xiao smile, Yan Zhenshen finally felt relieved, but it was too early for him to feel relieved.

Over the next few days, Chu Xiao used honey in all his cooking. It was novel at first, but later it became a bit greasy. Even Yan Zhenshen, who was never picky about food, found it a bit unpalatable.

However, she couldn't discourage her husband's enthusiasm for cooking, so Yan Zhenshen could only steam a pot of steamed buns and eat them with pickles at noon. She would not be able to eat sweet food until Chu Xiao's freshness wore off.

This time I stayed in the mountains for half a month. I caught a lot of chickens and rabbits in the deep mountains of Yan Town, but I didn't encounter any larger prey. However, those badger skins could be sold for a few taels.

Especially the two pregnant hares, one of them gave birth to seven little rabbits on a night when no one was paying attention. Chu Xiao only saw it when he was feeding grass the next day.

Chu Xiao put the pups into a small basket and asked, "That one's belly is so big, will it give birth prematurely due to the bumpy ride?"

"Put it under the backpack, with the little rabbit on top, not with the others."

Yan Zhenshen caught so many pheasants and rabbits this time that they couldn't fit in his backpack, so he could only kill a few and keep them for his own consumption.

Moreover, the rabbit fur can be made into a small quilt in winter, which can be used to cover the legs while warming up by the fire.

After they had packed up, they closed the gate and went down the mountain. The wolf cub was still very small, and would be left behind after walking for a while. Steppe Snow would bite the back of its neck and catch up with it, so they had to put it down and let it run some more.

Perhaps Dahuang and Dahei found it interesting and would occasionally pick up the wolf cubs and run a long distance like a relay race.

The wolf cub is usually not very close to the two hounds, and now it keeps whining when being held in the hounds' mouths.

Yan Zhenshen held Chu Xiao's hand and said with a smile: "Da Huang and Da Hei won't really bully it."

Chu Xiao naturally knew this. Although the two hounds would always growl at the wolf cubs, they were just trying to scare the mischievous wolf cubs. Besides, if they really bullied the wolf cubs, Taxue would not just watch so calmly.

When they reached the north mountain of Anning Village, they stopped. Chu Xiao took out two backpacks and put the dried wolfberries and mushrooms into the backpacks.

After all, it's autumn harvest time, and there are many people working in the fields. It would be bad if they saw two people carrying only so much and going to the county town to sell so much.

Yan Zhenshen patted Dahei's head and said, "Go back and call for help."

In the past, when Yan Zhenshen had hunted a lot of prey, he would ask it to go back and call people. Dahei was very familiar with this command.

After barking twice, he ran towards home. The wolf cub subconsciously followed him for a distance, but found that the human behind him did not move. He looked back in confusion and ran back again.

Chu Xiao sat down on a dead tree, then looked in one direction and asked with a smile: "There are a lot of trees struck by lightning over there."

Yan Zhenshen also looked over and nodded: "Yes, that's where I found you and Chu Laoer and his son."

Chu Xiao: "..."

"Do you want to go and have a look?" Yan Zhenshen asked.

Chu Xiao: “…” Revisiting the old place?
