The Murong Jiu before him gave off an impression of being weak, powerless, and easily pushed over.

It can really arouse a man's protective instincts.

Murong Jiu, leaning against Jia Daoshi's chest, felt his body temperature and heartbeat, as well as his unique masculine aura, which made her somewhat confused and infatuated.

The current Jia Daoshi gives her an unparalleled sense of security.

"What are you thinking about?" Jia Daoshi looked into Murong Jiu's eyes. "Where's my water?"

"Ugh..." Murong Jiu's face turned bright red, and she practically buried her head in Jia Daoshi's body. "What kind of water is this! You won't even let me pour it!"

"What did you say?"

Murong Jiu's voice was so soft that it was almost inaudible!

Jia Daoshi could only lower his head!

Just then, a delicate mouth suddenly came close!

Then, there was a fragrant, moist, soft and chewy texture!

Jia Daoshi's eyes widened.

He was kissed!

This little girl actually kissed her on her own initiative!

Jia Daoshi was so excited that he couldn't help but want to hug the little girl tightly!

But at that moment, Murong Jiu gently bit his lip with her silver teeth!

Jia Daoshi was in pain!

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Murong Jiu slipped away from Jia Daoshi's embrace like a fish!

"I'm going to help move firewood. If you want some water, go get it yourself!"

Murong Jiu skipped and hopped out of the room.

It's clear that his leg injury is healing well.

Jia Daoshi felt somewhat depressed.

He never expected that he would be flirted with by the seemingly innocent Murong Jiu!

This really made him feel a bit uncomfortable!

My lip even bled from being bitten!

That little girl is ruthless!

snort!

You little brat! Just you wait!

Sooner or later you'll have your day.

His shoulders could carry both firewood and a giant white python!

After drinking a bowl of water in the kitchen, Jia Daoshi also went out to help.

Di Qinglin was agile and nimble, while Jia Hu possessed immense strength!

With the help of the two men, the thirty bundles of firewood were quickly moved!

"Ah Jiu, didn't you two go in to get some water? Why have you been gone for so long?"

"Jia Daoshi, why is there blood on your mouth?"

Di Qinglin looked puzzled.

At this moment, she handed the oiled paper in her hand to Murong Jiu, and then went to get the window and door.

"Don't even mention it. I didn't get a drink of water, but instead I got bitten by a beautiful snake. It really hurt!" Jia Daoshi complained.

"Snake? Where's the snake! Don't bite me!"

Jia Hu, who was as strong as a bear, was so frightened by the mention of snakes that he jumped three feet high and scrambled onto the carriage, curling up into a ball and trembling.

This kid isn't afraid of anything except snakes!

Upon hearing this, Di Qinglin fell silent, two blushes rising on his face beneath the black veil!

Of course she understood what Jia Daoshi meant!

Because of this, she also did it to Jia Daoshi!

The coachman standing nearby, a frequent visitor to brothels, burst into laughter upon hearing this!

"Young people, you guys have so much energy! I really envy you! But as someone who's been there, I have to give you some advice: there are only oxen that die from exhaustion, not fields that are over-plowed!"

Di Qinglin: "..."

Jia Hu, standing to the side, was completely bewildered and couldn't help but ask, "Uncle, what are you talking about! What cow and field!"

At this moment, Di Qinglin and Murong Jiu's faces were so red that they wished they could sew Jia Hu and Jia Daoshi's mouths shut!

"Hahaha! Alright, I won't bother you young folks any longer, I'm off!"

"Hey big oaf, get off the carriage right now!"

"No! There are snakes down there!"

"You're nothing! If you don't get down here soon, I'm going to drag you all the way back to the county town!"

Jia Daoshi coughed and said, "Jia Hu, come down. I've already chased the snake away!"

"Oh... Jia Daoshi, then I won't go into your room, I'm going home!" Jia Hu got off the carriage, pulled his cart and ran off, disappearing in the blink of an eye!

Jia Daoshi: "..."

Soon, only Jia Daoshi, Di Qinglin, and Murong Jiu remained in the courtyard.

The three looked at each other in bewilderment!

"Pfft!"

Finally, Murong Jiu couldn't help but laugh first!

"Ah Jiu! You're still laughing!" Di Qinglin was speechless. "In broad daylight, you guys are really..."

"Okay, okay, Sister Qinglin, I know! I'll be more careful next time! But this is all my husband's fault!"

Murong Jiu ran away with a flushed face.

Di Qinglin walked to Jia Daoshi's side and warned softly, "Jia Daoshi, Ajiu's body hasn't recovered yet! Can you control yourself a little? If there's anything, you... you can come to me!"

"So, are you willing to come with me to pry open clams now?" Jia Daoshi asked with a serious expression.

"Go to hell!"

Di Qinglin was taken aback at first, then glared at him fiercely and turned his back on him with a cold look!

……

Next, Jia Daoshi, along with his two wives, moved all the firewood into the west wing.

Thirty bundles of firewood are enough to get through the winter!

However, this side room has a drawback: a large section of the roof is missing its tiles!

If it snows, the snowflakes will fall on the firewood.

Di Qinglin looked up for a moment, then said, "I'll go up the mountain tomorrow to cut some pine branches and dry grass to patch up this hole."

“No need for all that trouble, let’s just go buy some roof tiles.” Jia Daoshi shook his head. “The pine branches and dry grass won’t last until next spring, and we’ll have to settle this once and for all.”

Food, clothing, housing and transportation.

Food and clothing have been taken care of.

Now we need to solve the housing problem.

These few tile-roofed houses are in dire need of repair, especially the roofs.

It needs to be completely renovated.

Otherwise, the house will leak rain, wind, and snow, and the walls will deteriorate faster!

"Once we replace all the roof tiles, we won't have to worry about rain or snow anymore!" Murong Jiu said happily.

For the past year, they have lived here in constant fear, often waking up at night because bats, bees, and unknown birds would fly into their house!

“Yes, there’s nothing to be afraid of now,” Jia Daoshi said with a smile. “Let’s cut some timber now and replace the wooden windows.”

The size of these windows and doors did not fit perfectly with the originals, since they were not custom-made, so some firewood was needed to reinforce them.

Because it was their own home that was being repaired, all three of them were very enthusiastic.

Jia Daoshi and Di Qinglin installed the windows and doors, while Murong Jiu cut oil paper to size and then pasted it onto the windows with the leftover porridge from the morning!

This matter was relatively simple, so Murong Jiu spent most of her time sitting on the threshold, her chin resting on her hand, watching Jia Daoshi and Di Qinglin busy in the courtyard.

His eyes were full of happiness.

This place, though incomparable to the Daqing Imperial Palace of her childhood, brought her a profound sense of peace!

Now, Jia Daoshi has also changed for the better, and he is the true Son of Heaven that the High Priest spoke of!

Things will get better and better in the future...

Once the heavy snow closes the mountain passes, she can do those things with Jia Daoshi, just like Sister Qinglin...

This was a very strange feeling that she had never experienced before.

It's like a longing!

This made Murong Jiu feel a little flustered!
