Since they got up very early, when breakfast was ready, it was only around 7 in the morning.

There weren’t many seasonings in the house, so the vegetables and beef that Xiao Yuchuan stir-fried only had some oil and salt, and it was not bad to eat.

When the dishes were served, Xiao Yuchuan took Fourth Brother’s meal to the secondary bedroom. Su Qingyue saw that Second Brother and Third Brother were going to help her with the vegetables again, so she divided the bowl of beef among the three of them first, “Second Brother, Third Brother, you all need to work, you need some nourishment too. Eat something good and don’t just take care of me.”

Xiao Yishan looked touched but his unshaved beard hid his facial expression.

Xiao Yuchuan’s eyes were tearful, “Wife, you’ve never helped me or Second

Brother with the dishes before, have you?”

Qingyue actually didn’t want Second Brother to keep helping her with the vegetables. She’s a married woman, it’s embarrassing. But she didn’t explain that and just said, “Eat your meal!”

“Ah,” Xiao Yuchuan devoured the brown rice in his bowl, “Having a wife makes all the difference. The same brown rice tastes so much better.”

“Eating in silence, sleeping without talking,” she threw him a sharp look.

He swallowed his food and laughed, “Wife, don’t pretend to be a scholar. You can’t even read. Don’t mix eating with sleeping and all that. Even an illiterate person knows the meaning of these words.”

“I’m too lazy to talk to you. I’m educated.”

“Fine, my wife is the most knowledgeable person, even more knowledgeable than the village teacher.” Xiao Yuchuan didn’t believe it but went along with it.

Xiao Yishan glanced at his wife and thought that maybe she could actually read. He hoped that she couldn’t, as a literate wife would be too good for the

Xiao family and they couldn’t afford it.

The meal was enjoyable.

After breakfast, Xiao Yishan took his bow and arrow and spear, preparing to go hunting in the mountains. Su Qingyue walked to the fence and called out, “Second Brother, wait a minute.”

“Yue’er?” Xiao Yishan who just stepped outside the courtyard door looked at her puzzled.

She hesitated and said, “I know that sometimes when Second Brother enters the mountains, it takes a few days. I want to know when you will come back?” She actually thought it was dangerous in the mountains so she was worried about him. In case he had an accident in the mountains and his family didn’t know about it… If they knew his expected return time and he didn’t come back, they could go looking for him.

Xiao Yishan looked at her serious face and suddenly understood her concern.

She was worried about him! He felt a warmth in his heart, “I’ll be back tonight.” He had planned to be gone for three to five days, but decided to come back tonight just to see her.

She wanted to say ‘I’ll wait for you’, but thought it would be too intimate. She had already promised to give Xiao Yuchuan a chance, so even if Second Brother was great, she couldn’t be indecisive. So she just nodded her head.

When Xiao Yuchuan came out of the storage room carrying a merchandise load, he glanced outside, and saw Second Brother had already walked far away. He said to Su Qingyue who was standing in the yard, “Wife, Second Brother is gone. I’m also going to sell goods. I will go farther today so I can make more money. I won’t be back at noon. I left you a big bowl of rice, and you can heat it up and stir-fry the remaining one jin of beef.”

Why didn’t he tell her to cut only some of it to stir-fry? Telling her to stir-fry a whole jin, he was really generous. She wanted to snap at him but decided against it since he was so generous, “I know.”

“Wife, I’m about to leave, and you don’t even say you’ll miss me..”
