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

Pang Hongying, who was confused behind him, looked at Xu Qingzhao who was leaving and asked lazily:

"Sister Huanxi, why did he leave? I haven't had enough to drink yet."

Zhao Huanxi turned around and looked at Pang Hongying, whose face was still slightly red, and said, "I'm sure they'll go back home after they've eaten their fill. If I'd known you were such a fool, I wouldn't have made such a fuss about drinking."

"I didn't know this wine was so strong. I won't do it again next time." He stuck out his tongue, trying to act cute.

"Next time I'll have to make you a small cup, and you can only drink one cup at a time." Zhao Huanxi smiled and cleared the table.

We couldn't give any leftovers or bones to Big Black or Little Black, for fear of scratching their intestines. We collected some leftovers and poured them into a special dog bowl, and they ate with such relish.

After cleaning up the pots and pans, Zhao Huanxi remembered that he had forgotten to feed the chickens in the back.

Just as she was about to take the bran over, Xiao Pan came out and held her back.

"Mom, I've fed her."

Zhao Huanxi didn't know when this girl was fed, but she believed that Xiao Pan would not fool her.

Since these hens came to her house, they have been well taken care of by the three little ones, and she has hardly ever had to worry about them.

Now Pang Hongying couldn't bear the drunkenness anymore and went into the house to rest, and it happened that only her mother and daughter were there.

I just wanted to ask them if they wanted to study or something else.

"Mother~" "Mother."

"Everyone, sit down. Mother wants to ask you something."

The little ones obediently took the benches and sat in a row. Zhao Huanxi suddenly felt like a teacher.

He cleared his throat and said, "Ahem, today I want to ask you if there is anything you want to learn."

"Mom, I'm already learning needlework. Do I need to learn more?" Xiao Pan asked with a puzzled look.

Zhao Huanxi looked at them earnestly and said, "Of course, but it's not certain. It depends on your own wishes. Mother is planning to hire a teacher to teach you how to read and write, but she's worried you might not like it, so she's just asking for your opinions."

"Mom, is anything okay?" Xiao Yin tilted his head.

Zhao Huanxi looked at Xiaoyin and seemed to know what she wanted to learn. Seeing her eyes light up every time she saw Hongying, she felt that she had failed as a mother if she could not figure out what she was thinking.

"Xiaoer, do you want to practice martial arts?"

Xiao Yin said to his mother with a look of surprise, "How did you know?"

"I'm your mother, of course I know. Do you have any other ideas?"

Seeing this, Xiao Yin began to think. She wanted to learn martial arts, protect her mother, and protect her sisters, but she also wanted to learn to read.

"Mom, can we think about it again before we speak?"

Xiao Pan lowered his head and thought for a while, then looked up and said to Zhao Huanxi.

Zhao Huanxi respected the children's ideas and said to them gently:

"It's okay. Just tell me when you've made up your mind. I support your ideas."

Xiao Nian suddenly raised her little head and asked Zhao Huanxi, "Mom, I want to learn painting."

Hearing Xiao Nian's voice, Zhao Huanxi was very surprised and hugged Xiao Nian into his arms. He scratched her nose and said lovingly: "Niannian, tell me why you want to learn painting?"

"Mom, I like painting."

Xiao Nian seemed a little shy, and after saying that, she buried her little face in Zhao Huanxi's arms.

"Haha, I understand. Once the new house is built, I'll find you a painter, okay?"

"Thank you, mother~"

Xiao Nian's voice was as soft as a mosquito's buzzing.

Zhao Huanxi rubbed her little head. Seeing that the other two were silent, he went to boil water for them and himself to wash.

By the time it was time to go to bed, Zhao Huanxi was exhausted, not to mention the children.

After blowing out the oil lamp, he went to meet Zhou Gong without much preparation.

On the other side, Xu Qingzhao couldn't fall asleep even though he thought about the happy smile. He simply got up and poured himself a stronger glass of "Fu Sheng Zui".

She took a sip, and the bitter taste unique to strong liquor stimulated her taste buds, slightly suppressing the throbbing in her heart.

Pang Hongying's probing in the afternoon clearly showed her suspicion of him. After years of deliberately sculpting himself, he could hardly see his original appearance anymore, unless it was a blood relative.

But my relatives...

I can tell from Pang Hongying's steps that her martial arts skills are not weak. Why does this woman seem to be a little hostile to me? Does she simply want to compete with me or something else?

He drank the rest of Fu Sheng Zui in one gulp. The taste of alcohol instantly disrupted his thoughts, and then he felt a little sleepy.

The wasteland near the foundation of Huanxi’s new house has not been sold yet...Should I buy it?

She shook her head with a wry smile and touched her hair. She wanted so much to see her in her true self...

Zhao Huanxi went to check the foundation at the back the next morning. With the addition of more people, the progress was much faster and the roof should be repaired in another month.

Then I should find a carpenter to start making furniture so that it can be moved in when I move in.

She remembered that there was a family in the village that specialized in making furniture for others, and she had to find time to go and see what the prices were.

Before that, I have to draw the style and size of the furniture. In my previous life, I wanted to buy a house, so I watched a lot of decoration videos, which I can use now.

But... there is one very important thing...

That's the toilet. Luckily, I grew up in the mountains, otherwise I wouldn't be able to adapt to the ancient times... rural dry toilets... you know...

Last time, I went to the Nan Paper Shop in town and bought half a dao (source: one dao of paper is 100 sheets) of the cheapest Takeshita paper. The cheapest was actually five wen per sheet. I spent over two hundred wen, and that was the worst. The papers that cost more than ten or even dozens of wen are barely worth looking at, and even the finest paper that costs several liang is ridiculously expensive.

After breakfast, Xiao Pan went to his sister-in-law's house, leaving Xiao Yin and Xiao Nian at home following Zhao Huanxi like a little tail.

I gave them some snacks, took out a few pounds of wild boar meat I bought yesterday from the well and put them into a basket, and told them to make sure to deliver it to their grandmother. If they wanted to go play with Meixiang, they could play there for a while.

The two little ones immediately took the frame and went out excitedly.

He looked down from the gate of his own yard until he saw the two dumplings arrive at Lu Laoer's house and then go into the house, then he turned around and went back to the yard.

Just as Zhao Huanxi was about to enter the house, Pang Hongying came out of the small bedroom and said to her:

"Sister Huanxi, I should go back. Thank you for taking care of me these two days." Pang Hongying looked a little reluctant.

"Are you going back so soon? You said you'd have braised pig's trotters in the evening." Zhao Huanxi joked with a smile.

Hearing the sound of pig's trotters, Pang Hongying swallowed her saliva and made up her mind. She said to Huanxi solemnly:

"I went back to find out what happened between my father and that woman. Otherwise, I won't be able to sleep or eat."

Seeing this, Zhao Huanxi did not try to persuade her. He just walked into the small room where Pang Hongying was resting, looking at her strange expression. After a while, he took out a cloth bag and weighed it, which contained about ten taels of silver.

"Hongying, are you using this trick again?"

Zhao Huanxi found it a little funny. This girl didn't think she could be fooled twice.

The instigator took advantage of the joy to enter the house. Pang Hongying immediately jumped on the horse, grabbed the reins and said:

"The reward from the government is private silver. Sister Huanxi, please use it as you wish. I'm leaving now. Thank you for your hospitality. I'll come back to play with Sister Huanxi after I finish this matter."

This money was what Dad told me to give yesterday, saying that Sister Huanxi's family was in financial difficulty and I had to give it to her. But even if Dad hadn't told me, I would have kept it. I just didn't expect it to be found out so soon.

The sound drifted farther and farther away with the sound of horse hooves. Zhao Huanxi held the silver with a helpless look on his face.

I sighed, went back to my room, took out some paper and planned to draw the furniture blueprints today. Oh my god, another pile of work.
