Children are children after all, and they have no restraint in doing anything. When Chu Xiao finished washing the clothes and went over to take a look, a wooden basin was already filled with screws and some small fish.

The two of them were even smart enough to pour some water into the body. Yan Sanmei tried to lift it but couldn't. Yan Zhenbei also tried to help but still couldn't lift it.

"It seems like too much." Yan Sanmei said, looking at Chu Xiao for help, her beautiful phoenix eyes filled with innocence and childishness.

How could Chu Xiao refuse such a look? He put down the wooden basin in his hand, squatted down and exerted force, almost spraining his waist.

He weighs at least 60 or 70 kilograms. If it were in the past, this would have been a piece of cake, but a hero should not always boast about his past achievements. Now he is powerless.

"How about we take half of it back?" Chu Xiao suggested weakly.

"But we have been catching him for a long time." Yan Zhenbei was reluctant.

At this time, Chu Xiao felt that this place was not all good. For example, he could not put the pot of thing into his space in front of the two children.

The three of them just sat around the wooden basin, looking at each other, not knowing what to do.

At this time, a clear voice asked with a smile: "Third sister, what are you doing there?"

"Second brother? Come quickly." Yan Sanmei's eyes lit up instantly when she saw the man. It was the first time she felt that her second brother was so useful.

Yan Zhenbei also jumped up and clapped his hands: "Second brother is here, second brother is here, someone can move it."

Chu Xiao also looked back. The man was also tall, but a few centimeters shorter than Yan Zhenshen, and did not look as strong as his brother Shen.

In his opinion, he is above average, but he looks about 50% like his brother Shen. He is also handsome, but not as masculine and good-looking as his brother Shen.

Yan Zhennan came over and was startled when he saw Chu Xiao. Then he smiled innocently and said after a long while, "Hey, Brother Chu, why are you here too?"

"He's my eldest brother's husband now." Yan Sanmei quickly corrected, "You should call him Brother Xiao."

Yan Zhennan: “…”

If you count precisely, he seems to be one year older than Chu Xiaoxiao, and what the hell is Brother Xiao?

Yan Zhennan coughed lightly, his face flushed with shame: "Um, Ge Fulang."

This younger brother is quite interesting. He blushes before calling someone. He is so innocent. It seems that the children in the Yan family are more likely to be shy.

Chu Xiao suppressed his laughter and responded, "Yes, second brother."

Yan Zhennan scratched his hair awkwardly, then lowered his head to look at the basin of screws, turned around and tapped Yan Sanmei on the forehead.

"Why are you picking this up? You can't eat it."

"If you don't eat, the chicks and ducklings will have to eat." Yan Sanmei rubbed her forehead unhappily.

"When did your family start raising chickens and ducks?" Yan Zhennan felt that he had only been away for a few days, but it seemed as if a lot of things had happened at home.

"Brother Xiao bought them, and the little rabbits were caught by big brother in the mountains. Our backyard is very lively now." Yan Sanmei shared with him happily.

Yan Zhennan bent down and picked up the wooden basin effortlessly. While walking home, he listened to his third sister talking about what had happened at home in the past two days.

Chu Xiao followed not far away holding a wooden basin filled with clothes. There was also a little kid next to him who kept talking about how amazing his second brother was, as he could turn a piece of wood into a table, chairs and cabinets.

When they got home, the two children excitedly cracked snails to feed the ducklings.

Yan Zhennan said hello to his parents and went to fetch water with a bucket. He ran several times to fill the water tanks in the kitchen and outside the yard, and then started chopping firewood at the door of the woodshed without stopping.

After Chu Xiao hung up the clothes and sheets, he went to the kitchen to help Zhao Guizhi. He felt that he had to learn how to cook.

In the future, he will go hunting in the mountains with Brother Shen. If he can't even cook, then he will be the one at a loss. It would be a complete waste of good things if he can't cook them.

Seeing someone enter the kitchen, Yan Zhennan approached Yan Zhengdao and asked, "Dad, did my eldest brother go up the mountain again?"

"Well, he said he will be away for a few days this time. If Carpenter Tan is not busy, you can tell him and stay at home to help your brother prepare furniture. He will be getting married in a few days."

"So soon? Is Chu Xiaoxiao really willing to marry my eldest brother and doesn't mind that our family is poor at all?"

"Why are you asking so many questions? Why do you want to get married too?" Yan Zhengdao smiled and patted his second son on the head.

"I'm just curious. There are people who are not afraid of suffering in our home."

"What are you talking about? Xiao Ge'er is a good person. The six acres of land in the dowry are directly placed in the name of your elder brother. You are not allowed to make a fool of yourself. You must respect your brother-in-law, understand?"

"When did I do anything wrong? My eldest brother finally got married. I will definitely respect and love him as much as I respect my parents and eldest brother. Is that okay?"

Yan Zhennan thought, six acres of land as a dowry, which family would not be eager to get such a young man? And he actually fell in love with his elder brother. He must not be very smart. He would have to help his elder brother to take good care of him in the future.

In the kitchen, Zhao Guizhi rinsed the wild vegetables she picked in the morning with water and placed them in a dustpan to drain the water.

"Then you need to chop it up, squeeze out the excess water, add flour and knead it, add some salt and pepper, cut it into small pieces and steam it."

Chu Xiao nodded as he listened, like a studious baby.

The kitchen hadn't started lighting the fire yet, which was fine. But when the food was officially put into the pot, it was too hot and Zhao Guizhi chased everyone out.

Chu Xiao obediently walked out of the door. There was nothing to do, so he took a rest under the eaves. He turned his head to look at Yan Zhennan, who was sweating while chopping wood, and missed his brother Shen even more.

After dinner, the sky gradually darkened. The moonlight illuminated the ground beneath one's feet. Chu Xiao felt too hot and wanted to wash with cold water, but was seen by Zhao Guizhi who came out to pour water and was scolded.

"You are a boy, not a man. Do you want to get sick by taking a cold shower late at night?" Zhao Guizhi poked his forehead with her finger in annoyance.

Chu Xiao felt quite happy when he heard this, he just smiled foolishly and didn't say anything back.

Zhao Guizhi was also amused by his behavior. She lit the oil lamp and went to the kitchen to boil water. "If you want to take a bath at night, just tell mom. I'll cook and add two more firewood. But don't take a bath with cold water. It will hurt your body."

"Thank you, Mom." People who had never known what family was or what it felt like to be cared for by family finally understood what the destination mentioned in the books was.

He walked over and hugged her from behind, rubbing his head against Zhao Guizhi's back like a puppy, and whispered, "Mom, you are so kind."

"Silly boy." He reached out and touched his head.

Zhao Guizhi's eyes were a little red. She was a kind-hearted person, and now that she was being held in a dependent manner, she felt even more distressed for Chu Xiao.

The night grew darker. After washing up, Chu Xiao looked at the bare quilt and the dried sheets and fell into deep thought. How would he sleep tonight?

He scratched his hair in frustration, and then decided not to sleep.

He didn’t dare to enter the meditative state at the Chu family before, but the Yan family should be safe.

He closed the doors and windows, sat on the kang, took out the wild ginseng he had dug earlier from the space, and activated his supernatural powers to accelerate its growth.

Light green spots of light slowly surrounded the wild ginseng, and Chu Xiao also had a faint glow on his body.

Time passed little by little, and the wild ginseng had obviously grown larger. Chu Xiao opened his eyes and examined it carefully. It was only changed from twenty years to thirty years. He was somewhat dissatisfied and threw it back into the space and began to meditate.

The heat of the day slowly dissipated, and it was even a little chilly in the second half of the night. Chu Xiao could not sense the changes in the outside world, but his body felt the cold.

So the next morning, he fell ill, felt a little dizzy and had a blocked nose.

Zhao Guizhi noticed something was wrong with him early in the morning and forced him to drink a bowl of extremely bitter medicine. Even though he said he would get better, it was of no use.

Zhao Guizhi is not Yan Zhenshen, so how could she trust him unconditionally?

Chu Xiao, who was depressed after a hard day, missed his brother Shen even more.
