The arrogant little husband is desperately flirting with the hunter

Chu Xiao swallowed and said, "Maybe after experiencing life and death, I have come to terms with it."

He watched Yan Zhengdao deftly fasten the twisted rattan ropes one by one, and said, "After all, people only live for so many years, there is really no need to be trapped by some rules and regulations. If someone is kind to me, I will treat him well, and if someone is evil to me..."

Chu Xiao paused and smiled evilly: "Nothing good will come of this."

Yan Zhengdao looked up at the young man in front of the stove. He had big eyes, a high nose bridge, and a normal body shape. He was even thinner and weaker than the average young man. His skin was a little dark and yellow, and his hair was casually tied behind his head with a rag. No matter how you looked at him, he was just an ordinary boy from a farming family.

But what he said was completely different. This Chu Xiao must not be that simple.

However, Yan Zhengdao did not want to dwell on it too much. He thought that the boss must see things more clearly than them, so he just let it be. As the saying goes, a blessing is not a disaster, and a disaster cannot be avoided even if you want to.

Chu Xiao actually wasn't very good at cooking. After all, in the apocalypse, most of what they ate were nutritional supplements and food developed by some factories. What mattered was balanced nutrition and poor taste.

At this time, he was holding a radish and peeling it with a knife, searching his memory for how Chu Xiaoxiao cooked.

Finally I chose a simple one, radish and cabbage soup.

This requires no technical skills at all. Peel the radish and cut it into pieces. Add the bone soup and radish stewed yesterday into the pot together. Add a little salt. When the radish is almost cooked, put the cabbage leaves in. Finally, sprinkle some coriander and you're done.

A bowl of soup with those dry pancakes is a perfect match.

Yan Zhengdao looked at him cooking in a fluster and wanted to go over to help, but in the end he thought better of it and just let him do it.

As soon as the soup came out of the pot, Zhao Guizhi's voice was heard outside.

The first person to run into the kitchen was Yan Sanmei. As soon as she came in, she shouted, "Dad, is the meal ready?"

Chu Xiao said: "It's ready, help me bring it to the main room."

Yan Sanmei saw that the person cooking was Chu Xiao, her face turned red and she called out, "Brother Xiao."

Today, she and Zhao Guizhi took the cloth to Aunt Wang's house to make clothes and were praised. They said that the red cloth was especially suitable for her. This cloth was bought with the dowry money. Naturally, she felt a little embarrassed. "Brother Xiao, your soup is so delicious."

"How can it not be delicious? It's made with bone broth." Chu Xiao smiled and rubbed the little girl's head.

Yan Zhenbei, who was lighting the fire, also flattered: "Ge Fulang's cooking smells so good."

Breakfast is usually simple. He picked up some pickles from the jar, took out some pancakes, and asked the family to eat.

Yan Sanmei was very considerate and drank a sip of the soup first, then she frowned and stopped talking.

When Chu Xiao saw her like that, his heart suddenly skipped a beat. What was going on? It was so disgusting.

He quickly picked up the bowl and took a sip; it was very salty.

"Brother Xiao, did you put too much salt?" Yan Sanmei couldn't help but ask.

Chu Xiao was a little embarrassed, "I'll be more careful next time."

Zhao Guizhi couldn't help laughing when she saw Chu Xiao's frustrated expression because he had done something wrong. She didn't want to blame anyone. Cooking is something that you will get better at with practice.

"I'll take it down and add some water and boil it again." Zhao Guizhi said and went to the kitchen for secondary processing.

Chu Xiao followed behind her embarrassedly, "Mom, I really don't know how to cook. Can you teach me later?"

"Sure, why not?" Zhao Guizhi said with a smile, "This isn't difficult to cook. In fact, yours tastes good, but it's a little salty. Just add more salt slowly based on the taste."

The reprocessed soup was drunk up completely. It is so comfortable to drink some soup in this summer.

After dinner, Chu Xiao volunteered to wash the dishes, and Yan Sanmei followed suit: "Sanmei, is there anything else to do at home?"

"Since we don't have any livestock at home, there's usually not much work to do. Just wash clothes and sweep the yard. If the sun isn't too strong, I'll go dig some wild vegetables with my mother and my fourth brother."

"But now we have chickens, ducks and rabbits in the backyard. I have to cut some tender grass to feed them. I can also catch some insects or snails in the river."

Yan Sanmei spoke very clearly and Chu Xiao was impressed by what she said. It was really amazing that a girl in her early teens knew so much.

After cleaning up the kitchen, Zhao Guizhi called Chu Xiao to the main room and told him that she had gone to see the six acres of land and found that the crops were growing well. She wanted to ask the village chief to help ask the Chu family whether they should pay some rent to finish planting this year, or they should give some silver to buy out the seedlings.

Chu Xiao didn't understand those rules at all, and he just let his parents make the decision.

Since there was nothing to do anyway, he called Yan Sanmei and told her to go cut some tender grass for the rabbits.

"Brother Xiao, let's go pick bamboo shoots. I wanted to go a few days ago, but mom was too busy to let Xiaobei and me go."

Chu Xiao frowned when he heard this: "Why?"

"The largest bamboo forest in our village is at the foot of the southern mountain. That scoundrel from the Zhang family always hangs around near the bamboo forest. He would bully Xiaobei and me, so we wouldn't be allowed to go there unless our mother was free."

The scoundrel of the Zhang family? He thought about it and actually remembered that he was the cousin of the scholar Zhang Yiju, and his name seemed to be Zhang Yiming.

The Zhang family has the largest number of members in Anning Village, accounting for one-third of the population. It is also the only family with a clan name. Most villagers are reluctant to provoke the Zhang family. After all, they are relatively outnumbered.

Although Zhang Yiyu and Zhang Yiming are relatives, they are worlds apart. One is the hope of the whole family, and the other is a piece of rotten apple.

After all, he was a well-known hooligan in the village, a second-rate guy who did not work properly. He played with cats and dogs all day long, and even flirted with boys and girls. Although he never used violence, he was foul-mouthed. He was also imprisoned in the ancestral hall and violated the clan rules, but he still refused to change his bad habits, and no one cared about him later.

Chu Xiao pursed his lips when he heard this and asked, "Did he beat you and Xiao Bei?"

"No, it's just..." Yan Sanmei paused, "He spoke very rudely, saying that he would come to propose marriage when I was two years older, and he even called Xiaobei his brother-in-law. When my mother found out, she scolded him and wouldn't let us go."

Chu Xiao's brows tightened: "You should tell your eldest brother to beat that man into submission, and see if he dares to talk nonsense again."

"Mother always says it's better to have less trouble than more." Yan Sanmei sighed, "If someone is beaten to a pulp, our family won't have the money to pay for it."

Chu Xiao reached out and rubbed the little girl's head, "Brother Xiao, go dig with you. If he dares to come, I will beat him."

"That's great." Yan Sanmei happily grabbed Chu Xiao's hand and skipped towards the bamboo forest.

"Third sister, go pick wild vegetables again."

The sun is not very strong now, and many farmers take advantage of this time to do farm work in the fields in the summer. The two of them met several groups of people along the way.

The villagers are used to greeting Yan Sanmei first, and then say hello to Chu Xiao.

There have been a lot of rumors about him in the village recently. Although he is not hanging around in the village and we can't hear them, we can guess most of what is going on by looking at the rich expressions of these people.

"Aunt." Chu Xiao is not Chu Xiaoxiao. He doesn't care what you guys say behind his back. He should be more polite and less pretentious.

"Ah, Brother Chu is digging wild vegetables with the third sister?" The aunt who was called aunt was a little surprised. This Chu Xiaoxiao has really changed a lot.

"Go dig some bamboo shoots."

"Then you guys better be careful." The aunt said with concern.

After a few brief words, the two of them left. They wanted to finish digging early while the sun was still not too hot so they could eat at noon.
