Traveling through ancient times to escape famine, I have a treasure chest so I don't have to wo

Pei Jiao's voice interrupted Xu Ning's daze. She turned around and returned to her normal self, "Sister Pei, Jiang Shaoheng has gone back to his room to rest."

"Okay, Ningning, don't put too much pressure on yourself. Getting hurt is inevitable!" Pei Jiao said gently, patted Xu Ning's shoulder lightly, then turned and walked towards Jiang Yan's room.

Xu Ning couldn't help laughing as she watched Pei Jiao leave. She shook her head slightly, then turned around and walked briskly towards the kitchen.

The kitchen was filled with a faint fishy smell. The big fish that Xu Feng had brought back in the morning was now lying on the chopping board. The fish scales had long been scraped clean, the fish belly had been cut open, and the internal organs had been taken out.

Xu Feng shouted excitedly: "Mom, you have to save these fish intestines for me, we are going to use them for barbecue tonight!"

"Got it!" Zhang replied, her hands moving non-stop, skillfully picking the fish meat from the bones. "Mom, the lunch dishes are almost ready. Making fish balls takes a lot of time and effort. Why don't we make the fish balls in the evening?"

When Old Lady Xu, who had been helping out, heard this, she hurried over to take a look at the ingredients on the chopping board, nodded with satisfaction and said, "Okay, then we'll have fish balls tonight. Xiaobao, did you hear that? We also have fish for lunch. How about saving this big fish for dinner?"

After saying that, Old Lady Xu looked down at Xu Feng, who was squatting on the ground and staring at the process of killing the fish. At this moment, Xu Feng looked up and saw Xu Ning walking into the kitchen. His eyes lit up and he immediately asked, "Second sister, do you think it's better to eat fish balls at noon or wait until the evening?"

Xu Ning looked at his brother's expectant eyes and poured a basin of cold water on him mercilessly: "Eat it tonight! Xu Xiaobao, look at yourself, you are so dirty, go take a shower quickly, otherwise you will stink!"

"Second sister, second sister, I'll go wash right away!" Xu Feng jumped up from the ground as if his butt was on fire. He prayed in his heart that Old Lady Xu would not remember that he had secretly gone fishing. Otherwise, let alone when he could eat the fish balls he had been longing for, he would definitely be able to eat a meal of bamboo shoots and fried meat right away.

Old Lady Xu and Zhang watched Xu Feng run away like a gust of wind, and could only shake their heads helplessly. Then, Old Lady Xu turned around and said to Xu Ning: "Daya, in the evening, you should send the cooked fish ball soup to Ayan. He was injured because he helped us, we can't treat him badly."

"Okay, grandma, don't worry." Xu Ning responded readily. In fact, even if grandma didn't say it, she was going to do it. After all, Jiang Yan did hurt his waist because of protecting her, causing him to lie in bed unable to move, so how could she not do something?

At this time, Xu Ning suddenly said to Old Lady Xu: "Grandma, I also want to eat in my room at noon. I don't know why, but I always feel a little dizzy, so I just want to lie down and have a good rest for a while."

When Old Lady Xu heard this, she immediately became nervous and asked quickly, "What's the matter, my dear? Did I speak too harshly just now and scare you? If so, I apologize to you. Tell me quickly, where do you feel uncomfortable..."

Xu Ning hurriedly comforted Old Lady Xu: "Grandma, I'm really fine, don't worry. It may be because I was on the boat for too long, and I still feel a little seasick now."

"Oh, you silly girl! What are you still standing there for? Go wash up and go back to your room to rest. When the meal is ready, I'll ask someone to bring it to you." Old Mrs. Xu urged Xu Ning with a distressed look on her face.

"Hey! Thank you, grandma!"

On Jiang Yan's side, as soon as Pei Jiao entered the room, she saw him sitting there with a pillow behind his back, carefully reviewing the documents sent by the secret guards, like a general planning a strategy.

"Ayan, is your injury serious? You don't even know that Ningning is so anxious that she is like an ant on a hot pot, her face has changed."

"It's okay, cousin, tell her not to worry, it's just a slight bump, just rest for a day." Jiang Yan replied while putting down the things in his hand. Jiang Yi stepped forward to take the things away, and brought some fresh fruits to the two of them.

"That's great. After all, she's still young, so she'll recover faster. I'm not worried, but Grandma Xu seems to blame Ningning. When I came, I saw that she was a little unhappy. She looked like a flower wet by the rain, losing its former brilliance."

"Cousin, could you please go and comfort her?" Jiang Yan winked at Jiang Yi, who immediately came over holding an exquisite box.

Jiang Yan gently opened the box, and inside were some novel jewellery. The moment he opened it, Pei Jiao's eyes flashed with light. She took a closer look and saw that the jewellery in the box was like bright stars in the night sky, emitting charming light.

Pei Jiao has never had any interest in these things, but who would make jewelry into the shape of an axe or a spear?

"These are so cute!" Pei Jiao couldn't put them down and looked through a few of them. She couldn't help but praise her cousin again and again: "Ningning will definitely like these things. I didn't expect Ayan to be so thoughtful and good at making girls happy."

"Cousin, you can pick whatever you like. This is what I gave to you. I still have Aning's."

"Oh, I won't be polite then!" Pei Jiao immediately inserted a long spear into her hair, stretched out her hand and said to Jiang Yan: "Bring the one for Ningning, I'll give it to you now!"

Pei Jiao looked around and found out that Xu Ning had also returned to his room to rest. Thinking that he might not have fallen asleep for a while, she quickened her pace and went to Xu Ning's room.

This was not the first time Pei Jiao came to Xu Ning's room, but every time she came, she was reluctant to leave. "Ningning, where do you get all these weird ideas? This sofa is so comfortable, and this mirror, eh, just right, come and see what I brought you?"

"What is it?" Xu Ning was still applying essential oil on her hair. Her hair was a little longer now, and because it was dry, it would easily become tangled if not washed for a few days. Pei Jiao came just after she finished taking a shower. She opened the door and sat on the edge of the bed to comb her hair.

"Come and take a look. This thing looks better only when you look at it in front of a mirror!" Pei Jiao kept it in suspense. Xu Ning walked towards the dressing table in his pajamas, looking at the box in Pei Jiao's hand, thinking it was jewelry.

As soon as Xu Ning came to the dressing table, Pei Jiao pushed her to sit on the stool. The box was opened and a silver light flashed. Xu Ning felt a chill on her forehead and someone put something like a hair accessory on her head.

"It's really beautiful, my b... you really have good taste!"
