C18 (1/2)

Tian Yuqiao and his sister had returned with a great fortune on this trip up the mountain. Besides cooking half a pot of meat oil, he also got six wild eggs.

Seeing that the two siblings had finally returned from the mountain, Lady Wang's originally anxious heart was finally at ease.

”Mother.” The two of them called out softly.

”Ai, it's good that you're back. It's good that you're back. ”Kids like you can't just casually go there. A few years ago, someone accidentally fell into a trap dug by a hunter and broke his leg.” A hint of worry appeared on Lady Wang's face.

”Hehe, Mother, don't worry. We're just going to get the oil. Quickly take the jar and scoop the oil out.” Tian Yuqiao giggled as she began to move the items in the bamboo basket.

Yu Tang was already exhausted. He went back to his room to wash his face before going back to the brick bed to rest. Tian Yuqiao took advantage of the time while he was turning around to secretly take out the six eggs from the Emptiness Realm.

Holding it in his hands like he was offering treasures, he turned to Lady Wang and said, ”Mother, look. I picked this up on the mountain. We'll just make dumplings tonight.”

The moment he heard he was going to make dumplings, the little guy from Yutang immediately mumbled and got up from the brick bed. He said with excitement, ”Yes, mother, sister is awesome. She picked up a nest of wild eggs. Hehe, let's make dumplings with wild eggs and oil.”

Seeing the excited faces of the two children, although née Wang's personality was somewhat of a bun, she was also someone who doted on her children, so she agreed with a smile.

”Alright, I'll leave it all to you. ”However, this dumpling should be covered with white noodles. Our branch family has only a few black faces this time …” Lady Wang's expression was somewhat distressed, as if she was a young wife who had been wronged.

Tian Yuqiao waved her hand and said, ”Mother, you can rest assured. I'll borrow two catties of white noodles from Grandma Chrysanthemum later. After I've wrapped the dumplings, I'll send them a bowl. When I go back to town and sell herbs, I'll buy white noodles and return it to them.”

”Then the relationship is pretty good, let's do as you say.” Lady Wang said with a smile.

Tian Yuqiao shut the dilapidated wooden door of her house tightly, so as to not let the people on the side of the house smell it if they ran out. Lady Wang, on the other hand, neatly took out a small broken jar, carefully dug out the meat oil from the small pot and put it in.

Seeing her nervous expression, Tian Yuqiao could not help but be speechless. Alas, this is all poverty and fear of wasting a bit of the oily star.

The meat oil this time filled more than half of the small jar, Lady Wang vigilantly looked out from the gap of the door, and after making sure there was no one outside, she hid the oil jar inside the rice jar, and even pulled out a bundle of straw to cover the top of the jar.

After finishing all this, Lady Wang finally let out a long breath. Tian Yuqiao saw that sweat seemed to have seeped out from her forehead.

Tian Yuqiao handed the six eggs to Tian Yutang and told him to hide them. Then she carried a small basket to Tian Ju Hua's house.

Arriving at her home, she explained her purpose for coming here. Tian Ju Hua generously gave her a spoonful of white flour.

Tian Yuqiao saw that it weighed two and a half kilograms.

”Grandma chrysanthemum, we don't need this white mask at home. I only need to borrow two pounds.” Tian Yuqiao said embarrassedly.

”Hey, kid, why are you being so polite to me. ”At that time, after your family has wrapped the dumplings, bring me a bowl of dumplings and say that you don't want to borrow any dumplings, then say something stupid.”

Tian Yuqiao was not a fussy person, so she carried the basket home.
