C69 (1/2)

Only then did Zhang Liu return back to the courtyard. She first washed her hands and face, then filled two basins with water, and placed them on stools, so that when Ming Zi and the others returned, they would be able to wash up immediately.

”Mother, are the chicks hungry? I think they're a bit wilted.”

Zhang Liu said as she entered the kitchen. She saw that the spring heat had already finished frying all the tea leaves and the porridge had already been boiled in the pot. She was at the same time making the cornmeal, probably wanting to become a pot paste.

She didn't think much of it. On the contrary, she gave Dou Wang a fright. She held her hand, afraid that she would hit her face again. However, this time, she used too much force, so she spilled all the water on the plate she was holding.

”What are you doing?”

Lin Chunnuan's actions of slapping her face wasn't big, but Dou Wang's words were pretty loud, causing Lin Chunnuan to jump in fright. If it wasn't for Dou Wang holding her other hand, the small rice in her hand would probably have spilled onto the ground as well.

”I didn't do anything. I just felt that I was too weak to remember such an important matter.”

”It's all my fault. I should have thought about this.”

Because he didn't think through everything and Lin Chunnuan hitting him made Dou Wang feel very bad. He knew that Chun Wen wouldn't blame him, but because she didn't blame him, it made Dou Wang feel even worse.

How can I blame you? I missed out on the bamboo tube myself, but it's not a big problem. Mother said that every family in the village will have a bamboo tube, so I asked mother to go to the village later to buy a few of these things.

Hearing that Chun Wen had thought of a solution so quickly, Dou Wang heaved a sigh of relief. It was just that he could have thought of something first, but had decided to spend money to resolve it when the time came. This made him feel a little awkward.

After bringing out another plate of water, the little chicken ate the rice and drank the water. As expected, they became more energetic, and those few who had withered and didn't like to move, Chun Jiao also fed them with rice grains. Then, he carried them over to drink some water.

See, I knew it was hungry. Tomorrow, I will go and dig wild vegetables for them, and feed them to their fill everyday so that they can grow up faster. At that time, there will be eggs for Chun Xiao to make egg soup for him.

Lin Chunnuan pinched Chun Jiao's face, the little miss was too strong, he did not know if she had a good temper, when she grows up she will suffer losses because of her temper, looks like I have to save up more dowry for my little sister, when that time comes, if someone really wants to suppress my sister, I will use the dowry to smash him to death.

Lin Chunnuan never thought that the girls of this generation would all be gentle and demure, and she would never let her little sister's temper rise right. In her heart, her siblings could not be bullied by others, who cares who you are, they would never let you succeed.

”Let's go and see how the shed outside is doing. aconitine said that he will get bamboo plaque for the chickens, since it's not here, it should be the shed.”

Lin Chunnuan really wanted to go inside the hut and check it out.

”Alright, I just flipped over the tea leaves. I'll go in the shed and flip over the tea leaves after I've finished looking through the tea leaves. It's just nice.”

The two of them spoke as they walked out of the door. Chun Jiao also quickly ran over and held her sister's hand as she followed them out. In the end, the two of them were disappointed.

”Why did it already be done? I was still thinking about how to insert grass into the grid.”

Ming Zi and the others just happened to have finished doing everything, and were walking towards the courtyard. Hearing Lin Chunnuan's words, they all laughed out loud.

If anything looks good, just stuff it in and make it more compact, but it doesn't have to be too tight either. If it's too tightly stuffed, it'll rot easily, especially if it's like us, who haven't dried it completely in less than a day. But we can't be too loose.

Lin Chunnuan didn't know that a grass hut like this would actually need to say so much.

”So that's how it is. What a long way to learn. I still don't know enough.”

Lin Chunnuan suddenly realised that she needed to worship even a simple thatched cottage, knowledge was too lacking.
