After crossing over: kidnapping a female hunter to be the stepfather of the three cubs

"Happy sister, then I can only bother you." Pang Hongying was carefree, thinking that since there was no man in Sister Zhao's family, it was not against the rules.

The two chatted briefly along the way. They knew that Tang Xiaoliu went to the county government office to record his statement on behalf of Zhao Huanxi, and Pang Hongying also knew that Zhao Huanxi had divorced her and was taking care of her daughters.

Zhao Huanxi warmly invited Pang Hongying. The ox cart swayed to the door of his house, and some people gathered around to watch the fun.

"My dear uncles and aunts, this is my distant cousin from my mother's side. I met her in town today. She is visiting my home."

Zhao Huanxi explained to everyone that the main reason was that there were usually no strangers in the village, and the sudden appearance of a girl dressed in men's clothes and leading a horse would naturally attract attention.

After opening the gate, Zhao Huanxi took out a penny of silver from his pocket and handed it to Uncle Lu Gen, and whispered to him:

"Uncle, take this money. You were frightened today, and thank you for not abandoning us mother and daughter."

Uncle Lu Gen refused, waved his hand and said:

"That won't do. This is what an old man like me should do."

"Uncle, take it. I have something to ask of you. I hope you can keep today's events a secret. You know I'm having a hard time in this village, and I don't want those people to talk about me anymore."

After stuffing the silver into Uncle Lu Gen's arms, Zhao Huanxi went to unload the goods. He had bought quite a few things in town today, practically replacing all the old things in his house with new ones.

Fortunately, I bought these today, otherwise if Li Dabiao attacked me, I would have no self-defense weapon.

After unloading the goods, he gave Uncle Lu Gen some more instructions, then Uncle Lu Gen took the silver and drove the ox cart back.

Zhao Huanxi looked at the things in the yard, lit the oil lamp and started to work.

She changed the tattered bedding from her side sleeper, cleaned it, and covered it with the new cotton quilt she had bought today. Now Pang Hongying had a place to rest tonight.

He put other things into the master bedroom, stuffed all the big and small things he bought for the kitchen into the kitchen, sharpened the newly bought kitchen knife, and then Zhao Huanxi prepared to cook dinner.

The three little girls went to sort out the newly bought things in the master bedroom, leaving only Zhao Huanxi and Pang Hongying in the kitchen.

"Sister Huanxi, is there anything I can help with?"

Pang Hongying felt a little embarrassed sitting there doing nothing when she saw Zhao Huanxi busy.

"Well, I wonder if you can light a fire?"

"It's just a fire, watch me, I'll make it burn brightly for you in no time!"

After saying that, he sat on the small stool at the entrance of the stove, replacing the two beacon marshals.

Zhao Huanxi took out the vegetables and meat he bought today. Since there were guests coming to his house, he had to prepare some decent food.

Take out the ribs and chop them into small pieces. Blanch them and rinse them. Add some sugar color and add the ribs. Pour in the scallion and ginger marinade and stir-fry. Pour in hot water and let it simmer. Add some soy sauce to adjust the color. Cover the pot with the lid that saved Zhao Huanxi's life today and let the ribs cook in the pot.

After a while, the aroma from the pot made people's mouths water.

"Sister Huanxi, what delicious food are you cooking? It smells so good."

Zhao Huanxi looked up and almost couldn't hold it in.

"Pfft, what happened to you? Why is there soot all over your face?"

Pang Hongying wiped her face, looking dazed. The black and gray patches on her face made the beautiful girl look like a clown.

Zhao Huanxi smiled, took a clean handkerchief and soaked it, looked at the drowsy Pang Hongying and said to her:

"Wipe it yourself or do you want me to wipe it for you?"

Pang Hongying looked at Zhao Huanxi in a daze, and said in a coquettish tone:

"I can't see it myself, please wipe it for me, Sister Huanxi."

Zhao Huanxi lowered his head. The distance between them was only half a foot, but Pang Hongying felt that she could even hear Zhao Huanxi's heartbeat.

After wiping twice, Pang Hongying turned back into the fair-skinned girl she used to be. Maybe it was because the stove was too warm, but Pang Hongying's face was roasted red.

Zhao Huanxi finished wiping and washing the towel, then hung it on the wooden rack used for washing faces. Then she began to prepare the second dish.

I bought a lot of fresh vegetables today, washed the spinach, beat two eggs and made scrambled eggs with spinach, and cooked a pot of white rice in a casserole.

After washing a few ground eggs, cutting them into pieces and frying them with the spareribs, Zhao Huanxi kneaded the dough and rolled out some flatbreads, which he spread on the almost-cooked potatoes and spareribs.

The little girls in the room over there had also tidied up the master bedroom and came into this room to ask their mother what she had cooked for dinner.

"Let's eat piglet quilt tonight~" What Zhao Huanxi made was one of her favorite dishes in her previous life.

"Mom, what is a piggy blanket?"

"It's just pork ribs covered with a layer of pancake, as soft as a quilt."

After hearing Zhao Huanxi's explanation, Pang Hongying, who was burning the fire nearby, was also surprised. It turned out that there was a dish with this name.

She had grown up without a mother and was raised by her rough father, who only knew martial arts and escorting escorts. He was often not at home. Although he doted on her, she could only be considered to have grown up with a few of her senior brothers. In fact, she could reach the town in at least an hour tonight, but she didn't know why she had stayed here by mistake.

This courtyard is not big, but it is clean. Seeing several maids following Sister Zhao, I was actually a little envious.

"Miss Pang, what are you thinking about? It's time to eat."

Zhao Huanxi's voice brought Pang Hongying back to reality.

"Sister Pang, please try my mother's cooking. I feel that the food I had in town today was not as delicious as my mother's."

Xiao Yin pulled Pang Hongying to sit down. The small table with five people seemed a bit cramped. But Pang Hongying didn't feel uncomfortable at all. She picked up a piece of pork ribs with her chopsticks, picked up the bowl and put it into her mouth.

"Delicious! Sister Zhao, your cooking skills are so good. The dishes are better than those at Manxianglou!" Pang Hongying picked up another piece of noodles.

Seeing her eyes shining, Zhao Huanxi smiled and looked at the proud children.

"Yeah! This is delicious too! Girls, you guys eat it too, don't let me eat it all by myself." After saying that, he looked at Zhao Huanxi with some embarrassment.

"They are used to eating slowly and carefully. Miss Pang, you don't have to be polite. If you like it, eat more. It's just some simple farm dishes. I hope you don't mind."

"What did Sister Zhao say? It's really delicious, much better than the ones in the restaurant!"

"Hey, mom's cooking is the best."

Xiao Nian was happy to see that her mother's cooking was so popular, and she ate half an extra bowl of rice with her sisters.

The meal ended in an atmosphere of praise. Fortunately, Zhao Huanxi steamed a lot of rice, otherwise it would not be enough for several people.

After dinner, the little ones were very sleepy, so Zhao Huanxi boiled a pot of water for them to wash up. Pang Hongying, who was standing next to them, watched Zhao Huanxi busying around, and stared at him so intently that Zhao Huanxi felt a little uncomfortable.

"Miss Pang, do you want to take a shower and rest?"

Pang Hongying thought it was okay for her to go out for a night without taking a shower, so she shook her head, washed up quickly, said goodbye to Zhao Huanxi, and went into the bedroom prepared for her.

Lying on the soft wooden bed, Pang Hongying unexpectedly had a very good sleep. She hadn't felt that kind of peace of mind for a long time.

At noon, Pang Hongying was awakened by the sound of people talking outside.

"Brother Xu! Why are you here? Is your leg injury feeling better?"
