Qu Yuanxian braced himself and approached Cui Shize. No matter what, he would be able to explain to his wife if he had tried to ask.
Cui Shize also wanted to arrange a room for his good friend, but he did not own the inn. He thought for a moment and said, ‘Muzhi and Jingbai share a room, and there’s a soft couch in the room. I’ll sleep in their room. Tell Sister-in-law to enter the inn quickly.”
Back then, when they first arrived at Youjia Village, they were short of food and supplies. Qu Yuanxian had even sent supplies from thousands of miles away. They had to make room for Qu Yuanxian even if he had to squeeze.
Qu Yuanxian said guiltily, “Sorry to trouble you, Shize.”
Cui Shize patted his shoulder. “Don’t be so polite.”
Qu Yuanxian returned to the carriage with a happy expression. “Yuling, Shize has vacated a room for us. ‘
Madam Qu was pleasantly surprised and muttered to herself that they still had some conscience.
Madam Qu was carefully helped into the inn by Qu Yuanxian.
Everyone already knew that Cui Shize had given them the room and gave them a friendly smile.
Madam Qu’s gaze landed on Bai Wutong’s face. She immediately pretended to have a headache, ignored everyone, and quickly entered the room.
When she saw Bai Wutong, she thought that it was only because Cui Shize had given them the room that they had a chance to stay in the inn. She kept feeling that Bai Wutong and the others were secretly mocking her for not being able to stay in a room.
She felt a little regretful. She stood in the room and listened to the laughter downstairs. She felt like she was sitting on pins and needles. If she could turn back time, she would never have begged Qu Yuanxian to look for Cui Shize.
Yu Suisheng was the owner of the inn and had prepared hot lamb ribs for everyone. In the cold winter, how blissful it was to be able to drink a bowl of hot lamb soup.
Stinky sat beside Bai Wutong. Chu Tianbao sat to his right, while his biological father sat opposite.
His baby teeth were all grown now. The lamb ribs were stewed until they were soft. Chu Tianbao picked up a lamb rib with a lot of meat and placed it in his bowl. “Eat more meat and grow tall.”
Stinky loved to chew on bones, but compared to bones, he liked Bai Wutong best.
He picked up Chu Tianbao’s lambat bone and handed it to Bai Wutong cutely. “Mother, eat it.”
Bai Wutong couldn’t help but pinch his chubby face. ‘There’s some in Mother’s bowl. You should eat it.”
Since she did not want to eat, the little fatty did not care about his remaining two fathers. He immediately took bite after bite and ate happily.
Under the table, Xiaobai licked the bottom of Stinky’s pants. Stinky stole a glance at it and thought that no one was paying attention. He bit off a piece of meat and fed it to Xiaobai.
Seeing that he was acting guilty, Bai Wutong rolled her eyes at Xiaobai. After a long time, she reminded him, “Stinky, Xiaobai is losing weight.”
Other wolves would spend the winter hunting everywhere to find food and consume energy.
Whereas Xiaobai only ate and played every day. After playing and sleeping, there was still a warm room to stay in. Winter had yet to pa.s.s, and it was about to grow a double chin.
She was very worried that it would become the first wolf in history to have high cholesterol and blood sugar. It would be so fat that it would not be able to find a partner in the Southern Frontier, so she decided to let it go on diet.
When the carriage was moving slow, she would chase it out and make it exercise.
But it would secretly run into Cui Lingyi and the others’ carriage. Not only did it freeload, it also enjoyed the stroking from the people.
Bai Wutong really had no choice but to control its diet.
Stinky knew that he had to let Xiaobai eat less to lose weight. He stole a glance at Xiaobai with a cute expression that made everyone laugh.
While the others ate, Village Chief Zhao and the others, who had set up the tent, used the fire to set up four pots and cook instant noodles.
Auntie Yang sat in front of the fire with Little Peach in her arms to warm herself up. From time to time, she stirred the instant noodles in the pot and sighed. “How could we have such good conditions when we were fleeing back then? We have charcoal fire, tents, and delicious instant noodles to eat now.’ Village Chief Zhao added a few pieces of sausage and some homemade pickled vegetables to the instant noodles and said with a smile, “It was a little difficult at that time, but at least we didn’t have to worry about food and clothes. It’s actually quite good.”
When Zhao Sheng heard this, he couldn’t help but laugh. “Father, Mother, you make it sound like decades have pa.s.sed. It’s only been two years since we escaped.”
Auntie Yang said, “Although it was two years ago, I think it’s even more exciting than the previous decades.”
Zhao Sheng nodded. “Yes, it’s exciting. It will be even more exciting in the future!”
The instant noodles bubbled, and a rich fragrance wafted out. Little Peach, who had long been unable to help herself, swallowed her saliva. “Grandma, we can eat the noodles now.”
Auntie Yang looked into the pot, put down Little Peach, and took a few bowls to fill with soup for everyone.
Everyone picked up the hot bowl of noodles and took a sip of the broth.
Elder Lin swallowed and couldn’t help but walk towards Village Chief Zhao. “Brother, I’ll give you five copper coins. Can you help me make a pot of noodles? We still have dried noodles.’
Village Chief Zhao said, “We also paid for these instant noodles with our money. If you want to eat them, you can take a look at the stall in front. If someone is selling them, you can buy them.”
Elder Lin was stunned for a moment before hurriedly thanking him politely and walking in the direction Village Chief Zhao pointed.
As expected, they saw a large noodle shop. There were even people who specially provided hot water. Whether you bought instant noodles or not, you could drink hot water for free.
Elder Lin saw that many people were holding wooden bowls and slurping the noodles. The fragrance was rich, and Elder Lin’s stomach involuntarily growled.
The young man selling instant noodles was used to it. He even asked him what flavor of instant noodles he wanted to buy. If he ate there, he would provide a wooden bowl. If he did not eat there, he would let him take it away.
Elder Lin asked softly, “How much is a bowl?’
The young man smiled and said, “Eight copper coins a bowl!’
Good lord, eight copper coins! He could buy several steamed buns with that amount.
Elder Lin felt that it was really not worth it. He still had a lot to spend along the way, so he turned around and went back
When Elder Lin returned to their resting place, he saw Lin Lei holding three packets of instant noodles.
He immediately walked towards Lin Lei and asked excitedly, “Where did this come from?”
Lin Lei was a little frightened. Lin Hu hurriedly explained for his son, “Little Cat just sent this over. It didn’t cost anything, Father.’
Elder Lin was stunned. He really didn’t expect it to be from Little Cat.
He glanced at Little Cat’s carriage, took out 24 copper coins, and placed them in Lin Lei’s palm. “We’re all from the same village. We can’t take other people’s things for nothing.”
Lin Lei frowned. “We wanted to give this to him just now, but Little Cat didn’t accept it. He even said that he would throw away the instant noodles.”
Elder Lin was stunned again. He sighed and instructed Lin Hu, “You have to help Little Cat more often in the future. ‘
This instant noodles was given to Lin Hu’s family of three by Little Cat. Elder Lin was too ashamed to freeload. He went to the instant noodles stall and bought five packets of instant noodles. The portion was a little small. If they cooked eight packets together and added some potatoes, everyone would definitely have enough to eat..
