In the years of famine, in troubled times, the koi sweet wife is omnipotent

"Gu...Gu Huaijin? Why are you here?"

Xia Wanwan pushed aside the leaves and looked at the man holding a bow and arrow below, who was looking at her with a puzzled look on his face.

"I'm out hunting." Gu Huaijin put the bow and arrow on the ground, looked up at her again, and asked, "What about you? Why are you here too? And climbing such a high tree."

Having said this, he looked around and found that the three children were nowhere to be found. He immediately shouted angrily: "Xia Wanwan! Where are the children? Didn't you say you would bring them out to look for something? Where are they? Did you lose them?"

Xia Wanwan rolled her eyes in annoyance and said coldly, "Brother! Am I just bored and have nothing to do? That's why I deliberately threw the children away. Yes, I did a lot of excessive things in the past, and I wasn't nice to the children. But I made it very clear this morning. I won't say good things twice, believe it or not."

"I……"

Gu Huaijin didn't know how to answer for a moment.

Thinking that the children were gone, he still asked worriedly, "What about the children? Where did they go?"

It’s not that he doesn’t want to believe it, but the things Xia Wanwan did in the past really made people suspicious, and he didn’t want to gamble with the children’s lives.

"They have returned home. If you don't believe me, you can go home and take a look now."

Xia Wanwan was too lazy to explain too much. She reached out and hooked a branch, then picked all the star anise on it and put it in her arms.

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

Gu Huaijin saw her picking the fruits and asked in confusion.

As Xia Wanwan picked them, she said frankly, "Of course we eat them, but not for real. We use them as spices to make the dishes taste even better."

Gu Huaijin looked at her suspiciously, and asked cautiously in a calm voice, "As far as I know, no one has ever eaten this before. How did you know it was edible? And you didn't know how to do anything before. You always just had food served to you. How can you cook?"

"Well..."

Xia Wanwan pursed her lips. This man was too vigilant. Could it be that he had noticed something?

Seeing him staring at her with a suspicious and cautious look, Xia Wanwan made up an excuse and explained, "You might not believe this, but I was hit on the head by the orb yesterday and fell into a coma for a short while. After I woke up, it was like my mind had opened up. I became very smart and had a lot more knowledge. So when I saw these things, I thought they were edible."

I don’t know whether he will believe this explanation or not.

After all, he is not a three-year-old child.

But after hearing this, Gu Huaijin asked with concern: "You were in a coma yesterday? Why didn't you tell me earlier? If I had known, I would have asked a doctor to see you. It would be bad if you were left with sequelae in the future."

Xia Wanwan didn't expect that his first reaction was to care about her rather than question her.

"No, no hunting today. I'm going to town to find a doctor to take a good look at you."

Gu Huaijin was still a little worried. It was unbelievable that a living person could change so suddenly.

Xia Wanwan quickly stopped him, "Don't go. I'm fine. You've finally come back, so you should stay home and spend time with the children. And I know that if there's anything, I can treat it myself without you having to ask me."

She has been learning Chinese medicine from her grandmother since she was a child, and went to medical school when she grew up. She understands both Chinese and Western treatments, so how could she not feel if she had a problem?

Gu Huaijin paused, and looked at her with even more confusion, "You can also treat illnesses?"

Xia Wanwan coughed awkwardly twice and said nonchalantly, "Didn't I just tell you that after I woke up from my coma, I gained a lot of knowledge, including medical skills."

Gu Huaijin stared at her for a long time. If her aura had not changed, he would have seriously suspected that Xia Wanwan had become a different person.

"Are you sure you're okay?"

To be on the safe side, he asked again.

Xia Wanwan nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, patted her chest, and said with certainty: "It's okay, it's okay, I'm fine."

"I'm glad you're okay. If you feel uncomfortable anywhere, you must tell me, okay?" Gu Huaijin was relieved when he heard her say that she was fine, but then he said worriedly, "Come down quickly after you pick up the things. It's dangerous up there."

Xia Wanwan felt his concern, and the corners of her lips rose slightly, and she smiled sweetly, "Okay, I'll be down right away."

After saying that, she quickly climbed down the tree. The whole process took less than two minutes.

"Are you born in the year of the monkey? You can climb so well."

After seeing her land safely, Gu Huaijin then warned her, "Don't climb such a high tree in the future. It's very dangerous. What if you fall down?"

"Okay, okay, I understand."

Seeing that he was like her mother, nagging non-stop, Xia Wanwan nodded repeatedly.

Then he picked up the cinnamon wrapped in banana leaves on the ground and said, "Let's go home. I'll make you some delicious spicy fish for lunch today."

"Spicy fish?"

Gu Huaijin frowned, and his expression suddenly changed when he thought of the fishy smell of fish. "You don't mean to tell me that you brought the children out to find food just to catch fish? No, I'd better go and catch two wild rabbits to take home. Fish is too fishy, ​​no one can swallow it."

Seeing his disgusted expression, Xia Wanwan pulled his sleeve and left, "Go home quickly. Believe in my cooking skills, I won't let you down."

After returning home.

Xia Wanwan walked into the kitchen and saw that the fish had been gutted and the contents had been cleaned, but the scales had not been scraped off.

She finally understood why everyone disliked eating fish and was so averse to it. It turned out that it was not only because there was no spices to suppress the fishy smell, but also because of the problem of fish scales.

Just ask any normal person if he can swallow fish scales. If he can swallow it, he is a fetal god.

She picked up the fish, quickly scraped off the scales with a kitchen knife, washed it, and then sliced ​​it thinly. She also chopped a few green and red peppers she had picked. Because the people in this world didn't seem to know that peppers were edible, she couldn't make it too spicy the first time, otherwise their stomachs wouldn't be able to handle the aftertaste.

Because the cinnamon was not dried, she had to leave it out this time, but she could use star anise. Fortunately, there were peppercorns in this world, otherwise she would not be able to make spicy fish.

"Wanwan! Do you need my help?"

Tang Guifang was worried that she wouldn't be able to do it, so she decided to come and help.

"Mom! Go and rest. There's nothing I can do to help you. Everything that needs to be prepared is already ready."

Xia Wanwan was peeling garlic in her hand and indicated that she didn't need help.

"Then mother will light the fire and you will cook the fish."

Tang Guifang walked to the stove, took out a fire starter, and started the fire. Xia Wanwan had already completed all the preparations.

"Is this all the oil at home?"

Looking at the little bit of cooking oil, Xia Wanwan suddenly felt very sad.
