Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Han Qiao told Granny Gu to let Zeng Qin’er sleep in the same room with her and her great-grandson for a few days, and then asked Heng Yi to go to the village chief to see if he could carve out a piece of land and build two houses. Then, she would let Zeng Qin’er move out.
Granny Gu thought for a moment before agreeing, “Alright.”
Zeng Qin’er carried her blanket and mattress into the room. Granny Gu looked at the clean mattress. Envy flashed in her eyes.
Han Qiao was not idle either. The house needed to be tidied up.
People said that it was easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but it was difficult to go from extravagance to frugality. After two years of good life, she was not used to living in a small house again.
Looking at her sleeping son, Han Qiao was silent for a moment before she smiled and continued to unpacking.
Zeng Qin’er entered the room and called out softly, “Mother.”
“Are you done unpacking?” Han Qiao asked.
“Yes, I’m done. I want to take a walk nearby.”
She wanted to see what kind of terrain was nearby and if there was a place to hide.
Han Qiao naturally thought of this as well.
“Then be careful. Don’t go too far and come back early.” Han Qiao warned gently.
Zeng Qin’er ran into Shun Zi when she went out and greeted him.
Shun Zi liked this sister who gave him sweets and pastries, so he quickly followed her happily.
Zeng Qin’er didn’t know how to speak the local language, but she could basically understand what she said and what Shun Zi said.
She guided Shun Zi to talk more about the village.
He knew pretty well which family in the village was more powerful and which family was not easy to get along with.
Granny Gu was a little worried.
She was afraid that Zeng Qin’er would take Shun Zi away and that he would be too tired to do needlework.
She listened as Han Qiao cleaned up the kitchen.
She also knew that her kitchen was dirty, but she was old and did not have that much energy to clean. She could cook and eat, as long as she did not starve herself and Shun Zi to death.
Han Qiao cleaned up the kitchen seriously and took out the ashes from the stove. She was so tired that she could not straighten her back.
“Haa…”
Han Qiao exhaled softly.
Zeng Qin’er also came back with Shun Zi.
She approached Han Qiao, “Mother, there’s a cave behind us. Granny Gu used it to store the rice stalks.”
Han Qiao nodded.
She didn’t pay much attention to her surroundings. In addition, Ah-Yao woke up and called for her from the room.
She asked Zeng Qin’er to boil some water.
“Alright,” Zeng Qin’er immediately went to boil water while Han Qiao went into the room to carry Ah-Yao.
Put on his pants.
He groaned and wanted to pee, and he also wanted Han Qiao to close the door.
He really had a lot of opinions on a lot of things.
Han Qiao closed the door. He peed himself before letting Han Qiao put his pants on.
“Mother, Father…”
“He’s not back yet. Are you hungry?” Han Qiao asked with concern.
Ah-Yao shook his head, “I miss Father.”
“You missed your Father because he would bring you out to play, hmm?”
The mother and son quarreled for a while. Zeng Qin’er brought the hot water into the room. Shun Zi carefully followed behind her and stuck his head out to look at Ah-Yao.
Ah-Yao smiled with curved eyes, “Brother.”
After putting on his shoes and socks, Ah-Yao followed Shun Zi to play with the dog.
“Yao, be careful. It might bite you.”
“I’m not afraid, I’m not afraid.” As Ah-Yao spoke, he went to touch the dog’s head.
Han Qiao thought of Big Yellow which she had raised at home. Ah-Yao was brave and indeed wouldn’t be afraid.
The sky darkened and Heng Yi hadn’t come back yet. She was worried.
She went to the kitchen to boil some water so that Heng Yi would have hot water to drink and wash himself.
“Father, Father…!”
Han Qiao heard Ah-Yao’s voice and hurried out of the kitchen. Heng Yi was carrying two tied boars.
He was putting the wild boar at the door.
“…” Han Qiao quickly went up to him, “You caught two wild boars?”
When Heng Yi saw Han Qiao, his tense face immediately softened. He gently pushed Ah-Yao away from him.
“Hmm, I’m pretty lucky today.”
“Father, hug!” Ah-Yao stretched out his hand.
“Father is dirty. I’ll carry you later.” Heng Yi patted Yao’s head.
Ah-Yao nodded obediently.
Shun Zi was already stunned.
Wild boars equals pork.
Even Granny Gu was shocked.
She hadn’t had pork in years..
