After traveling through time, I rely on force to survive

Chapter 25 Zhou's nephew and his cousin

After settling Yun Jing, Li Qingqing did not stop. She turned around and went to the kitchen and took the hatchet that was on the ground.

I had collected some dead branches and put them in my space yesterday, but I ended up burning a bonfire all night in the deep mountains and forests, and they were all used up.

It was still early, so she had to go to the mountain to chop some more firewood, otherwise there would not be enough firewood at home for the banquet tomorrow.

Near dusk, Li Qingqing returned from the back mountain.

She chopped a lot of firewood and stored it in the space. In order to hide her tracks and avoid being questioned by Zhou Yimo, she tied a bundle of dead branches with a vine rope and carried it back home.

Li Qingqing put all the firewood into the woodshed. When she came out, she saw Zhou Yimo had returned and was boiling water for a bath in the kitchen.

When Zhou Yimo saw her come back, he told her about the butcher and said that the butcher had promised to come early tomorrow.

Li Qingqing nodded, indicating that she understood. Seeing that the bath water was ready, she went to the vegetable garden at the back to call Da Shuang, Xiao Shuang, and Xier to come back and take a bath.

The three little guys played with the wild boar in front of the house for a while, but soon lost interest and started weeding in the vegetable garden.

To be precise, Dashuang and Xiaoshuang were concentrating on pulling out weeds, while Xier stood on the vegetable ridge with both feet, tightly grasping an eggplant tree with both hands, and pulling it out with all her strength.

The eggplant tree finally broke free from the soil with Xier's desperate cry of "Ah!" Xier lost her balance and fell on the vegetable ridge.

The miserable look was simply unbearable to look at.

Li Qingqing felt the veins on her forehead throbbing, but she couldn't help but curl up the corners of her mouth into a helpless smile.

Well, since the eggplant tree doesn’t grow eggplants anyway, it’s better to pull it out…I’ll look back and find some new seeds to plant.

"Stop doing that for now and come back to take a bath!" Li Qingqing waved to the three little guys.

"Great!" Da Shuang and Xiao Shuang cheered. Living with Li Qingqing, they were also very clean and well-behaved.

Upon hearing this, Xier hurriedly got up, patted her muddy clothes, and ran into the house.

Dashuang also took Xiaoshuang's hand and followed him into the house.

After the three little ones had finished bathing, the sky had already darkened.

Because Li Qingqing had arranged for Yun Jing to rest in the room where Xier and Xiaoshuang slept, Xier was immediately unhappy when she found out that Yun Jing had occupied their bed.

She ran into the room, put her hands on her hips, and asked Yun Jing with some dissatisfaction:

"This is our bed! How can you, an adult, take a child's bed?"

Yun Jing: ...

Yun Jing was washing his face with a towel at this time. The dirt on his face was wiped off, revealing a handsome face.

Yun Jing looked at Xier, and the two of them stared at each other.

Xier was stunned to see Yun Jing, who was originally very ugly, suddenly become so handsome. Then she rolled her eyes and said:

"Even if you're so pretty, you can't take a child's bed!"

Li Qingqing came over: "Xier, let your father..."

"Fake dad!" Xier stomped her feet and started to get angry again.

Yun Jing: ...

He doesn't have such a good daughter.

"Okay, okay, let your fake dad sleep here, and you can sleep with me at night!" Li Qingqing was a little amused.

A lot of villagers will be coming to our house tomorrow, so Xier needs to adapt to her new role in advance.

"Can I really sleep with you?" Xier's eyes lit up instantly.

When she heard that she could sleep with Li Qingqing, she was very happy. She knew that her elder sister sometimes told stories to Dashuang and Xiaoshuang at night!

Xier was about to leave happily, but then she remembered that she was still a little unconvinced, so she turned around and rolled her eyes at Yunjin fiercely.

"You're sleeping at our house, remember to pay the accommodation fee!"

After saying that, he walked out of the room with his head held high.

Yun Jing: ...

He's a man of stature... and now he's been reduced to being bullied by a little kid. ...That's fine, a real man shouldn't bother with a kid.

Yun Jing remained silent, carrying the wooden basin and preparing to go out to pour water.

"You take a rest, I'll do this. You just need to focus on healing now! Remember to pay the medical fee after you recover!" Li Qingqing saw that he had finished washing, and took the wooden basin with a smile.

Yun Jing: ...

He won't go back on his word. He will contact the person after his injury heals... I wonder if that guy has a branch in this town?

Yun Jing lay on the bed, thinking about his own things.

Li Qingqing arranged for Xier to sleep in the same room with her, and let Dashuang and Xiaoshuang sleep on Zhou's mother's bed, so that they could squeeze together for the time being.

Although Zhou's mother's bed is not big, Da Shuang and Xiao Shuang are only four years old and don't take up much space.

Zhou's mother said she had no objection. She didn't have a daughter herself, and now she had a pair of twins. Not only were they good-looking, they were also sensible and hardworking. She liked them very much.

Da Shuang and Xiao Shuang were born without a mother. Now they have a mother who loves them, so they are naturally very happy and willing to be close to Zhou's mother.

A good night's sleep. Except for Yun Jing who was up all night thinking about something, the whole family slept soundly.

The next morning, the butcher arrived early and began to slaughter the pig, carefully cutting and processing the pork.

Matchmaker Zhou also came very early. She arrived as soon as the butcher arrived at the Zhou family.

When Zhou the matchmaker entered the house, she was frightened when she saw such a big wild boar.

Last night, her husband came back from work in the rice fields and told her that a woman was carrying a wild boar down the mountain towards Zhou's house. She was probably the Zhou family's new daughter-in-law.

Matchmaker Zhou didn't believe it at the time, saying that the girl was so skinny and weak, how could she possibly carry a wild boar? This was nonsense.

But when the wild boar was right in front of her, her eyes widened.

"Oh my God! Nephew Zhou, is this the wild boar hunted by your wife?" Matchmaker Zhou pointed at the wild boar and asked Zhou Yimo in a trembling voice.

"My cousin hunted the wild boar. He got injured while hunting it and is still lying down to recover from his injuries!"

Zhou Yimo's tone was calm, but his ears felt a little hot.

Well, my wife said this was a white lie, so you should stay calm.

"I knew it was that wild boars are not that easy to hunt! Three hunters have died in our village! And Zhangjia Village..."

"Oh, look at me, I said the wrong thing, bah bah bah!"

Matchmaker Zhou became more and more excited as she spoke, and she accidentally said something wrong, so she quickly shut up.

Zhou Yimo: ...

Cousin (Yun Jing): ...

People who practice martial arts have such good hearing that even if he sleeps in the innermost room, he can still hear the sounds outside.

"Nephew Zhou, now that we have pork, I'll go see if anyone has extra vegetables and borrow some for you."

Matchmaker Zhou felt a little embarrassed and wanted to slip away.

Zhou's nephew's cousin is still lying in bed recovering from his injuries. It is really inappropriate for her to bring up those things in front of him so early in the morning.

"Okay, thank you Aunt Zhou." Zhou Yimo bowed.

Matchmaker Zhou left in a hurry.

Not long after, the cook and kitchen helper hired by Zhou the matchmaker also carried over tables, chairs, benches, and bowls and chopsticks one after another.

This was agreed upon beforehand. They would provide the food and move it back after the banquet.

Every household in the village lives a tight life and would not buy so many things at home. If any family wants to hold a banquet, they can save trouble by paying them some money to host it.
