Chapter 720 Assistance

Yang An had been gone for a while, and Zhou Jingtian tugged at Zhou Jingwen's clothes.

Zhou Jingtian: "Brother"

Zhou Jingtian: "I'm hungry"

Zhou Jingwen: "Please bear with it for a while, I will find you something to eat"

Zhou Jingtian: “Yeah”

Zhou Jingwen looked around. In this room, apart from the kang, there was only a kang cabinet on top of the kang. He remembered that Yang An had told him that Yang An had put the food in the kang cabinet. Zhou Jingwen took a closer look. The kang cabinet was not locked. He opened it and saw ten kilograms of cornmeal inside.

Zhou Jingwen's face lit up with joy. He had found food, so he wanted to find a pot to cook something. However, he searched the whole house and couldn't find even a bowl. Zhou Jingwen was immediately at a loss. Ever since his stepmother came into the house, he had been learning how to cook and wash clothes. Now he could make delicious meals, but so what?

There is no pot, no salt, nothing but food. How can he cook?

Turning around, his sister was staring at him eagerly. Zhou Jingwen pursed his lips and walked out of the door with his thin clothes gathered around him.

He stood at his door, looking at the lights in the main room and smelling the aroma of food wafting from inside. He hesitated. The house they lived in now was borrowed by Yang An, and its real owner was having dinner at the moment. It would be too rude for him to run over to borrow a pot and salt. But his sister was still waiting for him, what should he do?

Zhou Jingwen was in a dilemma for a moment.

Yang Sanshui cleared the dishes and went to the kitchen, where he saw a man standing at the door of the house his eldest brother had rented out. He still remembered his brother saying that the two children were abandoned by their stepmother and had no home, so they were adopted by Yang An and were temporarily living in his house for a while. Yang Sanshui thought of his own father. It had not been a hundred days since his mother died, and his father had married his stepmother home. If they had not had their eldest brother to support them, they would probably be no better off than these two people.

Thinking of this, Yang Sanshui felt a sense of sympathy. He took two steps forward with the bowl and chopsticks in his arms and stood two meters away from Zhou Jingwen.

Yang Sanshui: "Why are you standing outside?"

Yang Sanshui: "Are you waiting for Brother Yang An?"

Yang Sanshui: "He went up the mountain with my brother. If he's fast, he won't be back until the middle of the night. If he's slow, he won't be back until tomorrow morning."

Zhou Jingwen: "Why do they go up the mountain at night?"

Yang Sanshui: "Hunting"

Yang Sanshui: "My brother said the day before yesterday that the wolf pack in the mountains has expanded. The weather has been cold recently, and it is difficult for them to find food. I am afraid they will go down the mountain."

Yang Sanshui: "I guess he thought it was time to go down the mountain today. My brother might have taken the hunting team to wait for the prey."

Yang Sanshui: "At such times, unless it's a matter of life and death, you're not allowed to ask for leave."

Yang Sanshui: "Brother Yang is the deputy captain of the hunting team, he must go with us."

Zhou Jingwen: "Aren't they afraid of wolves?"

Yang Sanshui: "My brother is here, there's nothing to be afraid of."

Yang Sanshui has a blind admiration for Yun Mo. He privately believes that his elder brother is omnipotent and is not worried at all about what will happen to him when facing the ferocious wolf pack.

Yang Sanshui: "By the way, is the kang in your room lit?"

Zhou Jingwen: "Kang?"

He slept on a wooden bed in the town and didn't understand what Yang Sanshui meant for a moment.

Yang Sanshui: "It's the bed you sleep on." Yang Sanshui: "Forget it, wait a minute, I'll take the dishes back to the kitchen, and then come over to teach you, heating the kang is very simple and you can learn it in one go."

Before Zhou Jingwen could speak, Yang Sanshui turned around and ran to the kitchen, and came out again after a while.

Yang Sanshui: "Come, I'll teach you"

Yang Sanshui strode into the house, and Zhou Jingwen followed silently.

Yang Sanshui stood in the room, looked around, then turned around and walked out, talking as he walked.

Yang Sanshui: "Why don't you have any firewood in your room?"

Yang Sanshui: "Walk, walk, walk"

Yang Sanshui: "First, take my house and give it to you as an emergency measure."

Yang Sanshui: "When Brother Yang An comes back, remember to ask him to return it"

Yang Sanshui took Zhou Jingwen to get two bunches of wheat straw for kindling, and then went to get a pile of firewood. Yang Sanshui taught Zhou Jingwen how to light the fire and how to heat the kang.

Zhou Jingwen watched silently. He did not say that he knew how to light a fire, nor did he say that he had never slept on a kang. Instead, he secretly took note of Yang Sanshui's words. He knew how to light a fire, but he did not know how much firewood to add, how often to add firewood, or how to keep it warm.

After teaching how to light the fire and heat the kang, Yang Sanshui looked at the empty room with hesitation.

Yang Sanshui: "Have you guys eaten yet?"

Zhou Jingtian bit her fingers and her stomach growled.

Zhou Jingwen blushed and felt a little embarrassed.

Zhou Jingwen: "Uncle Yang left some food, but he left in such a hurry that he didn't have time to prepare the pots, pans, oil, and salt."

Yang Sanshui: “It’s okay.”

Yang Sanshui: "My brother prepared a kang pot for me, saying that I would use it when I grow up and have my own room."

Yang Sanshui: "I haven't used it yet, I'll get it for you."

Yang Sanshui: "Just wait until Brother Yang An buys the pot and then return it to us."

Zhou Jingwen: "Thank you"

Yang Sanshui: “You’re welcome.”

Yang Sanshui: "You don't have a bowl and salt yet, right?"

Yang Sanshui: "I can lend you two bowls first, and I can also lend you half a pound of salt first."

Yang Sanshui: "Just remember to ask Brother Yang An to pay these back."

Zhou Jingwen: "No need for salt, I just make some porridge for Jing Tian and me, no need for salt"

Zhou Jingwen: "It's not easy for Uncle Yang to raise us. I can't cause him any more trouble."

Yang Sanshui: "Believe me"

Yang Sanshui: "Your uncle Yang won't care about this."

Yang Sanshui: "What's more, salt is a necessity. If you don't lend it to me now, your uncle Yang will come back to borrow it."

Yang Sanshui: "He won't be polite to my brother"

Zhou Jingwen smiled shyly.
