Fei Huainan was a soldier, so he must be good at climbing trees.

Xu Manman looked up, ready to learn how Fei Huainan submitted his memorial.

He took a running start and shot up into the air.

They really do dart up, just like monkeys, and in no time they're on the tree branches.

Did the whole process take more than three seconds?

Xu Manman looked up again and saw that Fei Huainan had taken off his coat and soon filled a bag with fruit.

He was carrying a large pile of persimmons when he jumped down from the persimmon tree in two swift movements.

Xu Manman was extremely shocked. Could she really jump from such a height?

Fei Huainan was amused by Xu Manman's shocked expression and casually patted the top of her head.

"Let's go back and check on the cured meat."

After saying that, he walked forward as if nothing had happened, the soft touch on his fingertips still lingering.

He had wanted to do this for a long time, and he couldn't resist touching his wife's head just now. It felt really nice to touch.

Xu Manman was touched on the top of her head, but she didn't pay attention to it and thought it was something dirty.

Although they went out to pick persimmons, it didn't take much time. When the two of them returned, the fire was still burning well. Xu Manman looked at it and added some firewood.

Fei Huainan put down the persimmons and went out to pick some grass. He then sat down and made grass ropes to weave baskets.

While eating crisp, sweet persimmons, Xu Manman watched Fei Huainan weave baskets, occasionally adding firewood as well, multitasking at once.

Enjoying delicious wild persimmons.

Xu Manman really wanted to sneak some things into the space, but with Fei Huainan watching from the side, she didn't dare to do so.

At lunchtime, Xu Manman pulled out a piece of cloth, laid some weeds on it, and then spread the cloth on top, preparing for a small outdoor barbecue.

She prepared quite a lot of things, including sliced ​​pork belly and beef.

The beef was bought from a fellow villager, and Xu Manman marinated it at home.

In addition, there were vegetables they grew themselves; they took some of the ones they liked to eat.

Then came the mushrooms they picked, several kinds, and Xu Manman grabbed a handful of each kind.

I also brought steamed buns and sausages, and grabbed a jar of hawthorn preserves.

Fei Huainan looked on with curiosity, and soon Xu Manman took out a bunch of things.

He roughly understood what Xu Manman was going to do.

At Xu Manman's request, Fei Huainan set up another fire, then moved a stone slab over and placed it on the fire.

The authentic stone-grilled meat is now ready.

Xu Manman skillfully placed the pork belly on top, grilling it until it released oil, and then she could grill other meats and vegetables.

She added some bell peppers, mushrooms, and some vegetables that could be grilled, a little of each, and waited until they were almost cooked.

Sprinkle on some seasoning, and the aroma will come out instantly.

Fei Huainan often grilled food with his teammates in the wild during training, so he was familiar with grilling.

Fei Huainan quickly took over Xu Manman's work, letting her play by herself.

Xu Manman wasn't idle either; seeing a patch of wildflowers not far from the wooden house, she ran over and picked some.

There were quite a few unidentified wildflowers on the mountain. Xu Manman quickly picked a large bunch, ran back, and gave them to Fei Huainan.

She couldn't stay still, and soon her attention was drawn to something else.

Fei Huainan looked at the large bunch of flowers, and then arranged the flowers...

Xu Manman found pine nuts under a tree. She happily picked up a large handful and brought them to Fei Huainan to show him.

Fei Huainan glanced at it and, quite tactfully, gave a compliment, which immediately made Xu Manman incredibly happy.

Seeing Xu Manman's delighted expression, Fei Huainan picked up something from the side and put it on Xu Manman's head.

Xu Manman was taken aback, took the thing off her head, and found it was a flower wreath.

The wreath was woven in an unknown way, with more than a dozen roots intertwined together, perfectly avoiding the flowers, with not a single one being buried inside.

The flowers are arranged in a pleasing, staggered pattern, and the colors are well-matched; they are incredibly beautiful.

No girl can resist a beautiful flower wreath, and Xu Manman was no exception; she loved it dearly.

Xu Manman didn't tan her skin when she went out today. Her skin is her natural skin now; it's not super white, but at least it's a healthy skin tone.

In addition, she has been eating well these days, so not only has her face become fuller, but her skin has also become softer.

Wearing a flower wreath makes the flowers and the woman even more beautiful.

Fei Huainan grilled the steak and sprinkled the seasoning made by Xu Manman on it, the aroma wafting far and wide.

Fortunately, this place is deep in the mountains and no one usually comes here, otherwise the smell would definitely attract people.

Xu Manman ran out to play for a while wearing a flower wreath, but soon got hungry. In order to eat food as soon as possible, she simply stayed by Fei Huainan's side and stared at the barbecue.

Fei Huainan used a knife to cut the grilled steak into small pieces, and then used a twig to whittle two chopsticks for Xu Manman to use.

Xu Manman took a bite of beef, a bite of mushroom, and then a bite of green pepper.

There are also crispy fried bread slices; if you get greasy, you can eat a couple of bites of cucumber to cleanse your palate.

After the meal, a bottle of hawthorn preserves will help with digestion, and I'll feel much better immediately.

She lay on the ground, gazing at the blue sky, and time seemed to slow down.

Although life was poor after I transmigrated here, it was really slow.

In her past life, Xu Manman was always rushing to finish her drawings and novels. She was always rushing, and even though she was rich, she would work day and night when she was busy.

Having transmigrated here, without internet, games, or electronic devices, everything is back to its original state. She finds life a bit tough now, but her mental state is at its best.

At this point, people have few things to pursue; having enough to eat and wear is the greatest happiness.

Without so many desires, there is naturally less anxiety.

Around three or four o'clock in the afternoon, Xu Manman finished roasting the chicken and duck she brought. Before going down the mountain, the two of them picked some persimmons.

If you can't finish them, you can make dried persimmons, which can be stored for quite a long time.

Around 4 o'clock, the two started to descend the mountain.

Because we had walked quite a distance and it took a long time to descend the mountain, it was already getting dark when we finally came down.

By the time we got home, it was completely dark.

Xu Manman lit the kerosene lamp.

These were the items she had bought on her big shopping spree. Looking at the dim kerosene lamp, Xu Manman couldn't help but ask, "Should we turn on the electricity?"

The village already has electricity, but there's an extra charge for the power lines.

The villagers are reluctant to give it up, and now, only the brigade and a few households in the entire village have electricity.

Most homes do not have electricity.

Fei Huainan's family lives at the end of the village. If they want electricity, the power line has to be run directly from the brigade.

Everyone else has electricity, which is fine, but his house alone has expensive wiring costs.

It wasn't that Xu Manman couldn't produce it, but doing so would expose her.

Xu Manman knew that electricity shouldn't be used; she was just saying it casually. Just as she was about to tell Fei Huainan not to take it to heart, Lu Ming's voice came from inside the courtyard.

"Sister Xu, are you home?"

The voice sounded urgent, and Xu Manman quickly went outside.

"Lu Ming, what's wrong?"

Xu Manman came out, saw Lü Ming, and asked.

Lu Ming looked around before stepping forward and said, "Sister Xu, I was herding sheep on the mountain when I saw Li Wu come to your house."

"He was acting suspiciously at the time, I don't know what he did."

Although Lü Ming was only eleven years old, he had heard about the feud between Li Bin and Fei Huainan.

An eleven-year-old child is already capable of thinking about some issues.

He felt that Li Wu had ill intentions and that he should come and tell Xu Manman.

After all, Xu Manman would always give him any good food she had, and she treated him very well.

Xu Manman's expression changed, and she asked Lü Ming if he had seen where Li Wu had gone.

Lu Ming shook his head: "After Li Wu went inside, his figure was blocked by the house, so I didn't see him."

Xu Manman told Lü Ming to go back first and not to tell anyone about it. Then she went into the room and told Fei Huainan what had happened.

They have a grudge against the Li family, so Li Wu's arrival is definitely not for good reason.
