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

A gust of wind whistled past, and the flames in front of Xu Qingzhao began to sway in the wind.

"Humph, you're such a heartless person. You've been holding onto this anger for so long."

A figure appeared in front of the fire at some point and was now sitting opposite her, holding a folding fan and looking at her with a smile on his face.

"I wonder why you are following Xu?"

Xu Qingzhao could feel that this person was the source of the prying he felt along the way, so he took out the dry food on his body and started eating it by himself.

"The secret cannot be revealed. You just need to know that I will not harm you." The man waved his folding fan and smiled mysteriously.

Xu Qingzhao was curious: "Who sent you? I don't seem to know you, Your Excellency."

"You have too many questions. However, when you arrive at Donglin Prefecture, you may know something. Now, I have nothing to tell you." After saying that, there was another gust of wind, and the man disappeared again.

Xu Qingzhao thought about many people who might help her, but she still had no clue. Now that she knew the other party had no ill intentions, her worries not only did not subside, but increased. She felt more and more that her second sister's matter was a trap, and she had no choice but to fall into it.

After a short rest and the fire being extinguished, they began their journey day and night again, riding the north wind.

When Zhao Huanxi woke up in the morning, he saw that the seeds he had bought a few days ago for germination had already sprouted small green tips. The germination rate of this batch of seeds was still very high.

He picked up a hoe and spread the seeds in his own flower garden. The extra seeds were planted in the vegetable garden of the old house.

There was a strong wind at that time. The most fortunate thing was that the golden lotus that Zhao Huanxi had dug in the mountains before was not blown away by the wind, but it was still blown all over the place and lay in the pile of vegetables.

So the half-dead golden lotus was transplanted into the flower garden. Now the little plant is no longer as wilted as it was that day, and it is slowly becoming full of vitality.

There are a lot of wild herbs in the mountains and forests. It would be great if we could pick them and cultivate them ourselves.

In fact, some roadside weeds have medicinal value, but their medicinal properties are weak, so they have been replaced by better plants. Zhao Huanxi remembered that in her previous life, her grandmother also liked to go to the mountains to dig herbs and sell them. Back then, the most common ones she picked were "Epimedium", "Tongcaohua", and cicada shells. Perhaps she could ask Doctor He for a medical book and go to the mountains to look for these hard-to-find herbs.

Then you can dig up the smaller ones and keep them at home. Applying fertilizer regularly will make them grow faster.

Maybe... I can find better wood...

Just thinking about it makes me feel like this thing can be accomplished, and it feels like it's more than enough to just provide me with food and clothing.

The land in the backyard of the new house is less than half an acre. It may not be enough to grow crops, but it should be enough to grow some medicinal herbs.

She picked up a hoe and went to the back to turn over the soil. Xiao Yin and Xiao Nian saw their mother going to the field at the back, so they followed her with a small hoe.

"Mom, look at how to dig, I'm strong!"

"And me, I want to help mother too."

Zhao Huanxi looked at the two carrot heads and pointed to a corner and told them to dig out the land there. The two of them obeyed the order and picked up the hoe to dig properly.

"Then let's have a competition to see who finishes digging first. The winner gets a snack."

If there were spicy noodles in this era, she could buy them to appease her children, but unfortunately there were no chili peppers. She remembered that chili peppers were introduced to China during the Ming Dynasty, and another way was that they were transported from Yunnan as ornamental plants to Sichuan, Guizhou and other places along the shipping route.

As for being away from home all year round... I definitely can't do it, but Hongying's father is away from home all year round. If I ask him, he might have some ideas.

When Zhao Huanxi was halfway through digging, Xiao Yin had already dug clean the corner under his feet, and as for Xiao Nian... the little guy was already sleeping soundly in a shady place.

"Xiao Yin, you are so amazing. It's great to have you~"

Zhao Huanxi walked up, picked up Xiao Nian, and praised Xiao Yin.

Xiao Yin wiped the sweat off his forehead, smiled, showing a row of neat little white teeth, and said to his mother: "Hey, mother, this is what I should do."

"Let's go, let's go back first. It's too hot now. Let's come back in the afternoon when it's not so hot, otherwise my little girl will get sunburned."

The temperature today is at least 30+, not to mention the kids, I'm sweating all over myself. It's a good thing the sun is shining brightly now, so I can go home and boil a few pots of water and take a bath. I'm not afraid of catching a cold even if the sun is so strong.

"Okay~~"

Xiao Yin picked up the hoe and quickly caught up. Xiao Pan also came back from Xiang's sister-in-law's house and was now making a fire in the kitchen.

After the mother and daughter cooked and ate in the kitchen, they started to boil water for a bath.

I moved the tub to the middle of the patio. Now the sun shines right here, so I don't need to turn on the heater when taking a bath. The tub is big enough to fit my second and third child in perfectly.

After adding hot water, the second and third sisters had a lot of fun in the bathtub. After washing the two sisters, he picked up the girls, dried them, let their hair dry in the sun for a while, and then took them into the inner room for a nap.

"Xiao Panpan, do you want to wash here or should Mommy carry the bucket inside for you?"

Xiao Pan raised his little head and smiled at his mother: "Mom, I'll take a shower here. The sun is so bright here, I don't want to waste it."

Huanxi realized that this girl must have come out of the haze, touched her head and said:

"A sword's sharpness is forged from grinding, and the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold. Although I don't advocate for education through hardship, we can't change what has happened. Let's just look forward. Xiao Pan, I'm proud of you."

Childhood trauma can never be healed, and what has happened cannot be reversed by traveling back in time, but what doesn't kill you only makes you stronger. This truth was what Zhao Huanxi had always believed in in her previous life.

"Mom, I want to study."

Xiao Pan's eyes were shining brightly, and now they were looking at Zhao Huanxi with a dim light.

Zhao Huanxi looked at the tenacity emanating from Xiao Pan and felt sincerely proud of this girl.

"Reading is good. A rich family does not need to buy good farmland, for books contain thousands of bushels of grain. A comfortable home does not need to build a high hall, for books contain golden houses. When traveling, do not be sad that no one is with you, for books are full of carriages and horses. When marrying a wife, do not be sad that there is no good matchmaker, for books contain beautiful women."

This was a very profound poem she had learned in her previous life. In her previous life, when she came out of the mountains, studying was her only way out.

A great leader once said:

"study hard, improve every day."

"Study for the Rise of China"

These two sentences are classics that we must learn when we are young. (Celebrate National Day and remember the great man)

"Mom, what does this sentence mean?" Xiao Pan thought for a while. His mother's words were quite profound, but he didn't quite understand the meaning.

"I don't know either, but when you get educated, you can explain it to me."

After saying that, he went into the house, poured the boiled hot water into the bucket, and fetched some cold water to prepare the bath water. Xiao Pan shyly took off her clothes and got into the bucket.

"Mom, it feels so good. Wait till I'm done washing. I'll get you some water so you can soak in it too."

Xiao Pan is 10 years old this year and will have her period in two years. It's time to give them some sex education when they're older.

The ground was warm under the sunlight. After Zhao Huanxi finished washing, he felt sleepy and snuggled up in the beds of the maids and slowly fell asleep.
