He subconsciously chose to remain silent.

He is a patient, his own life is the most important thing.

This dead woman, she doesn't know what's good for her, and he doesn't even want her.

The two didn't speak again. Zong Yulian felt a little hungry, so she turned to find the village head's wife to order some food.

After returning home, Zong Bai's stomach was growling with hunger. He had been so focused on going down the mountain with his elder brother to find Yu Lian in the morning that he barely ate any breakfast.

"Mother, sister-in-law, is there any more rice"

Even before anyone arrived, the sounds of hungry stomachs could be heard.

Fang Jinshu hurriedly emerged from the vegetable patch, pulling the dry grass off her head. "Yes," she replied.

"I've left you some food."

As soon as Zong Bai heard that his sister-in-law had left him some food, he was over the moon.

"Sister-in-law, you don't have to bother. I can just heat it up in the kitchen myself."

She glanced behind Zong Bai, but didn't see Zong Yu's figure. She couldn't help but feel a little worried.

After coming out of the ground, he shook off the dust from his body and walked into the kitchen.

"Zongbei, is your older brother not coming back for lunch"

Digging a canal is really hard work. You can't possibly skip lunch after breakfast, right

Zong Bai immediately said, "After I finish eating, I'll go and deliver some food to my elder brother."

Fang Jinshi nodded and in the kitchen found a tool that would be more convenient for turning over soil, intending to continue tending to her small vegetable garden.

Thanks to the original owner's memories, she had a general idea of how to do these farm chores.

Although Zong Yu said these chores could be done by Zong Bai before leaving in the morning, she thought that since she had nothing else to do, it wasn't a lot of work anyway. Doing it herself would also be good exercise.

Then, I also tidied up the sanitation outside the ancestral hall, especially the kitchen. As a doctor, especially a Chinese medicine practitioner, there's a saying that goes, "Diseases enter through the mouth."

Fāng Jǐnxīu isn't a very particular person, but the kitchen must be clean, also to reduce the probability of getting sick.

She filtered the water that she had brought back yesterday several times and boiled it, letting it cool before giving it to them so they wouldn't drink raw water.

Even if it is filtered to be the cleanest, boiled water is still what you can drink with confidence.

As she turned, she heard Zong Bai let out a cry and hurriedly looked back.

What's up

Zong Bai stuffed a large mouthful of bamboo shoots with meat into his mouth, his eyes shining so brightly they seemed to be glowing.

"Her tone was filled with surprise, "Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, what kind of wild vegetable is this"

"Where did you dig that up"

Fang Jinshu was a little puzzled. How could the Zong family be so surprised to eat bamboo shoots

"What was dug up behind the house Is it not good to eat"

Zong Bai shook his head like a tambourine, “It’s simply too delicious!”

As he spoke, he quickly stuffed several more into his mouth, eating non-stop. He mumbled, “So crispy! So fragrant, so delicious.”

"I haven't had such tender vegetables in ages."

Fang Jinshi couldn't help but smile, remembering the current drought situation in the village. Every household's vegetable garden had long since withered and died, and anything edible had been dug up and eaten.

Wild greens are tough and bitter, how can they compare to the crisp tenderness of bamboo shoots.

It's no wonder Zong Bai got so excited the moment he tasted bamboo shoots.

"Eat slowly, I made a lot."

Fang Jinshi had prepared the dishes based on her estimation of the two brothers' appetites, but it seemed she had underestimated them.

She stood at the kitchen doorway for a while, then saw Zongbo finish a plate of bamboo shoots and pork with gusto. Even so, this silly boy still gave her an expression of wanting more.

He licked his lower lip and asked sheepishly, "Sister-in-law, is there... any more"

Seeing that he hadn't eaten enough, Fang Jinxiu took out her share for the evening meal as well and left half of it.

"I'll take this half to your brother later."

Never mind, I have plenty of bamboo shoots anyway. I'll just stir-fry another pot tonight.

Looking at Zong Bai's slender frame, he was still a boy in his developmental stage, the prime time for eating. She probably had to recalculate their food intake.

After dinner, Zong Bai took Fang Jinxiu's prepared pastries and dishes, along with the clean water pouches he had ready.

The water in the canteen was boiled white, Zong Bai took a sip, and almost cried with happiness.

It's been ages since I've had such clean water. My sister-in-law's prepared water is not only clear and pure, but it even has a hint of sweetness when you drink it.

That was because Fang Jinshu had dripped a few drops of spiritual spring water into it, to secretly nourish the bodies of the family members. quickly, and the matter just went over in a muddled and unclear way.During the day, Chunlan and Qiujie, busy in their new home, tidied up inside and out and did a little decorating.Chunlan disliked t...
