After marrying the hunter, he became more and more abnormal

Ling Chuan stood under the eaves with his hands behind his back. His eyes looked around and finally fell on the place where the straw hat and raincoat were missing. His mind then thought of the dripping bamboo sieve in the kitchen and other traces of cleaning, and his lost rationality finally returned.

It seems that the young man went out on his own and was not taken away by someone with ulterior motives. But it was raining, so why did he go out?

Ling Chuan frowned. He wanted to go out to look for the young man, but he was worried that after he went out, the young man would come back. Wouldn't that mean he would miss him?

Moreover, he didn't have much time to stay, and he came back this time to say goodbye to his brother. The matter was more complicated than he thought, so he had to go there in person.

Ling Chuan hesitated for a long time, but finally decided to wait at home. After all, it was drizzling outside, and the young man would not stay outside for too long.

Unfortunately, the reality was just the opposite. He waited for more than an hour but still didn't see the young man come back.

On this side, Xia Mo ran into Liu Yu as soon as he arrived outside Liu Yingying's house.

Liu Yu looked at Xia Mo in surprise and asked, "Brother Ze, why are you here?"

Liu Yu's home and Liu Yingying's home are not far away, and the two families have a close relationship. Because it was a rainy day, he ran to Liu Yingying's home in the morning and helped her cut bamboo strips for weaving. Unexpectedly, when he came home for lunch, he ran into Xia Mo.

Perhaps having heard Liu Yu's exclamation, Liu Yingying appeared at the door a moment later, looked at them and said, "Ze'er is really here. I thought Yu'er was joking."

When Xia Mo saw her, he immediately smiled and called out, "Sister Yingying."

Why did Zege come to her house in the rain? Although Liu Yingying was very curious, she decided to invite him in first.

So he said, "Don't stand there. Your shoes are getting wet from the rain. Let's go inside and talk."

"Okay." Xia Mo nodded, and after following them in, he found that Liu Yingying's mother, Zhou, was also there, so he asked, "Hello, auntie."

Zhou carefully looked at Xia Mo who was taking off her straw raincoat, with a smile in her eyes, but she also seemed to complain: "Of course, Aunt is good, but the bad thing is that Ze Ge'er doesn't come to see Aunt."

Xia Mo hung up his raincoat, looked at Zhou, whose face was not very good but full of love, and said obediently, "I know, auntie, I will definitely come often in the future, even if Sister Yingying is annoying me."

"Come on, I don't want to bear this unfounded reputation." Liu Yingying ruthlessly dismantled his stage, while Liu Yu laughed unceremoniously.

Xia Mo was thick-skinned and didn't feel anything when being sabotaged. But Zhou was afraid that her daughter would scare away the benefactor's child, so she glared at her and said to Xia Mo: "Remember to come to my house more often in the future. Come, have some peanuts, they will nourish me."

As Zhou said this, she turned around, opened a sack, grabbed a handful of dried peanuts and stuffed them into Xia Mo's pockets.

Seeing this, Xia Mo quickly stretched out his hands to take it, "Thank you, auntie."

"Tsk, don't be so polite. Brother Yu, you can eat too." Zhou said as she grabbed another handful and gave it to Liu Yu.

However, Liu Yingying, who was standing next to her, waited and waited, but her mother didn't give her any. She pouted her lips slightly and asked with a slightly accusing look in her eyes, "Mother, where's mine?"

"You still want to eat? Don't you see how much you have eaten? Be careful not to get a sore throat." After Zhou said this, she glanced at the corner.

Xia Mo and Liu Yu took a look and saw the peanut shells in the shallow basket at a glance. They immediately smiled unkindly. There were so many, no wonder their aunt didn't share any with her.

"Hey, don't just stand there, sit down." Zhou said.

Xia Mo still had a smile on his face. He found a stool and sat down without any awkwardness.

Seeing Xia Mo sitting down, Liu Yingying and the others also pulled a stool and sat down.

Back to the point, Zhou began to ask Xia Mo, "Ze'er, you came to my house in the rain, did something happen?"

"Hmm..." Xia Mo nodded. After he swallowed the peanuts, he noticed that they all had serious expressions. He knew at a glance that it was a misunderstanding.

So I quickly explained: "Hey, don't be so serious, what I want to say is that I want to buy some wheat and sweet potatoes. I want the wheat that is not shelled. Auntie, do you know where to buy it?"

When Zhou and others heard this, they all showed an expression of surprise. They thought it was a big deal, but it turned out that he just wanted to buy something.

"There are plenty of sweet potatoes in our village. My aunt has them. You don't have to buy them. Just take some back when the time comes. Don't waste the money. As for wheat, people in our village plant few of them. Most of them plant rice. Let me think about it..." Zhou said.

"Well, I'm not in a hurry. Auntie, you take your time to think about it. But I can't take these sweet potatoes for free." Xia Mo said with a smile.

"Kid, you get nothing for free." Zhou frowned.

Xia Mo peeled a peanut and smiled, "If Auntie doesn't want to charge, I'll buy it from somewhere else."

Zhou wanted to speak more, but because Liu Yingying and Liu Yu were very curious about what Xia Mo would do with the wheat and sweet potatoes, they spoke before her: "Ze'er, what do you want them for?"

"I have nothing to do, so I plan to try making some malt sugar." Xia Mo said truthfully.

"Maltose? What is that?" Liu Yu was puzzled. He had never heard of it. But since the name contained the word "sugar", it should be "sugar", right?

At once, three pairs of eyes looked at Xia Mo.

Xia Mo explained: "Maltose is also sugar. It can be made into liquid or solid soft candy. Soft candy... is like candy."

Liu Yingying and Liu Yu were immediately interested when they heard it. "Really? Is it as sweet as white sugar?"

"Of course. When have I ever lied to you? Sister Yingying, Brother Yu, when I start, you will know when you come to my house and see for yourself."

"Okay."

"I'll go as well."

Liu Yingying and Liu Yu were a little excited.

"Hehe, Ze'er, don't listen to their nonsense. If you really know how to make malt sugar, it can be considered a skill, which is good. But don't tell others about it in front of others in the future. It is said that teaching a disciple will starve the master to death. It's always better to keep it a secret." As an elder, Zhou felt that she still needed to explain these principles to the younger generation.

Xia Mo blinked and said with a smile, "I didn't tell anyone else."

The three Zhou family members were stunned for a moment, and then they smiled.

"You little rascal." It seems that Yingying was right. Ze Ge'er has really changed. Looking at his cunning eyes, Zhou secretly felt lucky that this child was not ruined by the Liu family.

"Is it really possible?" Liu Yu confirmed again. That was sugar making, how could he not want to learn?

Even Liu Yingying ignored her mother and looked at Xia Mo with burning eyes.

Xia Mo nodded: "Of course it's true. As long as we buy wheat, we can start working. How could I let you two ready-made helpers go? Hahaha..."

"Okay, I'm really touched. I didn't expect you to be such a brother. You just want us to help you." Liu Yingying put down the bamboo strips, tilted her head slightly, and covered her chest pretending to be hurt.

"That's right." Liu Yu deliberately puffed up her cheeks to agree, condemning him together with Liu Yingying.

"What am I like? Am I not smart and clever? Am I loved by everyone and flowers bloom wherever I go?" Xia Mo was thick-skinned and every word sounded like a question, but every word was full of confidence.

"Pfft! Hahaha, you think you are a bee spirit and you make flowers bloom when you see them." Liu Yingying laughed.

"Hmph, even if it is, I am still the most hardworking and handsome one." Xia Mo raised his chin slightly and said proudly.

Liu Yingying and Liu Yu burst into laughter upon seeing this, and even Zhou grinned with wrinkles at the corners of her eyes.

Xia Mo also laughed happily. He never thought that Ling Chuan had been waiting at home for a long time, until the corners of his mouth were stretched into a straight line, but no one came back.
