Reborn amidst natural disaster, my childhood sweetheart and dad help me stock up and win effortlessl

After Zhang Jing calmed down, Liangzi told her to stew the mutton at home while he took the other three bags of mutton to the black market.

Zhang Jing dared not cook dishes with strong smells, fearing that it would attract the covetous eyes of her neighbors.

She found the coal she had stored away and used it to make a pot of mutton soup. She also cut the mutton blood sausage into pieces and put it in the soup as well.

She marinated the remaining mutton with several bags of salt.

When Liangzi returned with the three bags of mutton exchanged for durable grain, Zhang Jing and Xiao An sat at the dining table waiting for him.

Looking at the scene under the warm yellow light, Liangzi felt a slight swelling in his heart. This ordinary scene was just like before the apocalypse.

A family of three sat at home, with steaming hot home-cooked dishes on the table.

It feels like it's been a long time since I've experienced this.

Smelling the aroma of meat in the pot, Xiao An's young face was filled with longing.

Feeling heartbroken, Liangzi quickly picked up a piece of mutton and put it in his wife and daughter's bowl.

"Eat quickly, before the meat gets cold and doesn't taste good anymore!"

"Dad eats too."

Xiao An, holding chopsticks, said in a childish voice.

She diligently gnawed on the mutton, her face glistening with oil, yet her smile was wide and joyful, as if it were Chinese New Year.

Seeing Xiao An's happy expression warmed Liang Zi's heart.

Suddenly, a piece of mutton was placed in his bowl. Liangzi looked up and saw Zhang Jing facing him.

"Don't just watch us eat together. You work so hard outside, you should eat more."

"You eat too."

The small house was filled with the warmth of a family of three.

……

After Liangzi left, Ye Jingmo went to the front yard and looked at the sheepskin boiling in the pot.

He instructed Jiang Li to retrieve a loofah from the space and use it to brush away the stubborn grease from the sheepskin.

After cleaning it again, Ye Jingmo rinsed the leather with water, placed it on a clothes rack, and secured it with clips, trying to stretch the sheepskin as much as possible.

Then let it air dry naturally before proceeding to the next step.

After Ye Jingmo finished everything, he returned to the house, while Jiang Li was preparing mutton in the kitchen.

"What delicious food are you planning to make?"

Ye Jingmo leaned against the kitchen doorway, gazing tenderly at Jiang Li.

"Lamb stewed in red wine".

Jiang Li put the stir-fried mutton into a stew pot, added a bottle of red wine, and seasoned it with a little tomato.

The rich aroma of wine filled the air.

Jiang Li covered the pot and simmered it over low heat.

Ye Jingmo picked up the vegetable basin and placed it in the sink to wash the vegetables.

Before long, Ye Jingmo brought the stir-fried vegetables to the table.

Jiang Li installed gas on the portable gas stove, and Ye Jingmo moved the stew pot over.

The stewed mutton turns purplish-red, the meat is tender, and it has a wine-like aroma when you bite into it.

If you taste it carefully, you can also taste some of the sweet and sour flavor of tomatoes.

Jiang Li and Ye Jingmo both looked very satisfied with the meal.

Jiang Li was a little tipsy, her face flushed, and her lips glistening with oil, making her look moist and tempting.

Upon seeing this scene, Ye Jingmo's eyes darkened, and his Adam's apple bobbed involuntarily.

Jiang Li rested her chin on one hand and stretched the other hand forward, placing it on Ye Jingmo's Adam's apple.

"Hehe...why aren't you moving?"

Jiang Li poked Ye Jingmo's Adam's apple with her finger, her eyes glazed over.

Ye Jingmo restrained himself and used his large hand to cover Jiang Li's small hand, pulling her hand away from his Adam's apple.

“Honey, Lili, you’re drunk.”

Go take a shower and sober up a bit.

He patiently coaxed Jiang Li.

Jiang Li shook her head and whispered:

"I wasn't drunk. I just ate lamb stewed in red wine."

"This little bit of wine won't get you drunk, will it?"

She struggled to pull her hand away from Ye Jingmo's grasp, then placed it on his Adam's apple, seemingly quite interested in it.

Ye Jingmo felt Jiang Li's hand groping his Adam's apple; the warm, jade-like touch made Ye Jingmo feel uneasy.

"Lili, be good, I'll go make you some pear soup to help you sober up."

Ye Jingmo patiently coaxed Jiang Li.

"No, you'll stay with me."

Jiang Li's voice was sweet and drawn out, carrying a deep sense of dependence.

She threw herself into Ye Jingmo's arms, sat on his strong, muscular lap, and buried her head in the crook of his neck.

Ye Jingmo was completely stunned by her actions.

The only part of its body that can move is its eyes.

"Then what do you want me to do with you?"

After a long pause, Ye Jingmo coaxed in a low voice.

"Um……

"Mo-ge just needs to stay with me, what else do you need?"

Jiang Li didn't react immediately, her brows furrowed as she pondered, unsure of what I might be trying to say.

Ye Jingmo smiled and shook his head helplessly.

Jiang Li frolicked and groped around in Ye Jingmo's arms.

Ye Jingmo's hand slowly slid from Jiang Li's shoulder to her waist, securing her there.

Jiang Li was unable to move, staring blankly at Ye Jingmo with glazed eyes, her hands gripping his face.

"Why are you holding me so tightly that I can't move?"

“Because…” Ye Jingmo leaned close to Jiang Li’s ear and whispered.

"I'm afraid I won't be able to control myself if you move the ground."

Meeting Jiang Li's pure gaze at that moment, Ye Jingmo felt that any action he took would be a desecration of her.

Jiang Li nodded, seemingly understanding but not quite.

"That Mo-ge did a great job."

Jiang Li gave him the "friend card" without any hesitation.

Ye Jingmo looked dejected; he could actually do without this "friend zone" card.

However, the next second,

The warm, smooth touch lingered gently on his lips.

"Come on."

Ye Jingmo stared blankly at Jiang Li again.

The kiss happened so fast, in an instant, that he didn't even have time to react.

My brain is still in a state of malfunction.

"Hehe, this is a reward for Brother Mo."

Jiang Li said generously, then jumped out of Ye Jingmo's arms and tried to rush to the sofa.

Ye Jingmo grabbed her hand.

Jiang Li paused, looking at him with a puzzled expression.

With a strong pull, Jiang Li sat steadily in his lap.

"This is the real reward."

Ye Jingmo forcefully kissed Jiang Li's lips, wanting to express all the passion he had aroused in her.

The tip of the tongue probes into the mouth, relentlessly conquering and expanding its territory.

Jiang Li's breathing was disordered, and she could only passively endure Ye Jingmo's kisses.

The room was quiet, save for the intimate sounds of the two kissing.

Jiang Li's head gradually became dizzy, and all the strength seemed to have been drained from her body. She slumped limply in Ye Jingmo's arms.

Ye Jingmo ended the lingering kiss and looked amusedly at Jiang Li, who was desperately trying to catch her breath in his arms.

How can she be so cute?

"Brother Mo, you're a bad guy."

Jiang Li, her face flushed, turned her head away, indicating that she didn't want to talk to Ye Jingmo; he was bullying her.

"Am I teaching you how to give rewards?"

Ye Jingmo spoke honestly, leaving Jiang Li somewhat doubtful.

"Okay, go play with the jelly and the others on the sofa. I'll go to the kitchen to make you some pear soup."

Ye Jingmo got up and went to the kitchen, chopped a pear, cooked a pear soup, and gave it to Jiang Li to drink.

After Jiang Li finished drinking, Ye Jingmo tidied her clothes, told her to take a shower in the bathroom, and then go to bed.
