My husband was picked up from [farming]

Chapter 15

After Yang Zhao went out, Wen Yu couldn't help but speed up his hand.

The two of them had no clothes, especially Wen Yu, who only had old clothes with lots of patches. They usually wore Yang Zhao's clothes. In winter, they put on all the clothes at home to keep out the cold.

Yang Zhao was even more afraid that he would freeze, so he only wore a single suit when going in and out, and put all his clothes on Wen Yu.

In order for both of them to feel more comfortable, he had to make cotton-padded clothes quickly.

When the sky darkened, the oil lamp in the room reflected orange and yellow. Wen Yu rubbed his eyes and put down his needle and thread. If Yang Zhao saw it, he would scold him again.

He ate the roasted sweet potatoes that were still warm and looked outside.

It's completely dark in the forest. Why hasn't anyone come back yet?

He didn't want to wait any longer, so he came back with some firewood and made some pancakes with cornmeal.

Just when he was thinking about whether to go out and look for someone, the old courtyard door creaked open and someone pushed it open.

The man came in carrying a fish as big as his forearm, and a pheasant and a hare in his other hand.

Before Wen Yu could go out to meet him, Yang Zhao entered the house with a chill in his eyes.

"I'll stew fish for you tonight."

Wen Yu might want to rush in to do other things, after all, Yang Zhao had a hard day.

But fish stew... He has never made it, let alone eaten it. The Wen family can't afford these things, and they don't know how to cook them for him.

"Then I'll help you light the fire." He chose something he could help with.

"Okay."

Yang Zhao smiled and did not refuse. He put his frozen hands to his mouth and breathed. After warming up for a while, he washed his hands and started cooking.

The fish was quite big. Yang Zhao looked at it and chopped off the fish head for soup. The remaining body was used to make a braised fish. Although the fish head lacked tofu, it was stewed into a milky white fish soup.

Wen Yu, who was sitting in front of the stove and lighting the fire, smelled the fragrance and swallowed greedily.

The two were not far away, and Yang Zhao naturally noticed his appearance. He secretly smiled and picked up a piece of fish from the braised fish plate.

"Brother Yu, try it and see if it's salty."

Before Wen Yu could react, the fish had already entered his mouth. Except that it was a little hot, it was the tenderest meat he had ever eaten. It melted in his mouth and was extremely delicious.

"It's delicious, it tastes just right." After saying that, he subconsciously stuck out his tongue and licked the corner of his mouth.

Yang Zhao's eyes darkened when he saw it, but he quickly lowered his eyes to cover up the dark storm in his eyes.

"The fish soup needs to be cooked for a while longer. Are you going to eat the fish with the pancake first?" Wen Yu was worried that he would be hungry, so he could drink the fish soup after eating.

But Wen Yu shook his head, "I'm not hungry. I just ate a roasted sweet potato before you came back."

It was dark outside the yard, and even the laughter of the children in the village on weekdays was gone. Suddenly, it felt surprisingly quiet, and the house The sound of burning firewood crackled in the stove.

The orange-red firelight reflected Wen Yu's excessively fair cheeks, the room was warm, and the aroma of food filled his nose.

Yang Zhao looked down at the distracted young man, and the smile on his lips never stopped, "The kang is very hot. I remembered that we brought some beans. I will find a basin later, grow some bean sprouts, and save the stewed meat for eating. "

Although game meat doesn't have much oil and water, it will be greasy if you eat it too much. Stewing it with bean sprouts will relieve the greasy taste.

Although he didn't eat enough bean sprouts stew, Wen Yu smelled the aroma wafting from the pot and nodded expectantly.

Seeing the slight smile on her husband's lips, Yang Zhao's heart softened.

For the first time, he knew that there was an extra husband in the family. The air seemed to be filled with honey, and it was so sweet that his heart ached when he took a breath, which made him reluctant to go into the mountains alone.

But life has to go on, the husband is delicate and needs to be taken care of carefully, and there are many places to spend money. He can't just live like this.

"In a few days, I have to walk deep into the mountains. I may not be able to come back that night. You can take care of yourself at home."

For Wen Yu, who rarely leaves the village, this is already a very deep mountain forest. Yang Zhao still wants to go deeper...

"Isn't there any prey around here? If you go outside, you won't be far from the Liao people."

The sound of fish soup rolling in the pot became louder and louder, Yang Zhao picked up the pot with one hand Cover, holding a spatula in one hand and flipping the fish head.

"After all, this place is not far from where people live. There are no big prey around. There are not as many things as in the mountains. Don't worry, I know where the Liao people are and I won't go there. You just stay at home. These days I will prepare more food and firewood for you, don't be reluctant."

He was always ordered by others. Wen Yu didn't know what he should do to prevent Yang Zhao from going to such a dangerous place, but he also knew that Yang Zhao would do this. It's for their lives.

He wanted to stop it but couldn't. He bowed his head in despair and said nothing, hugging his knees and looking at the flames licking the bottom of the pot in the stove.

"Then you wait until I make my cotton-padded clothes before going. Staying in the mountains in cold weather can freeze people to death." This may be the only thing he can do.

"Okay, I'll do whatever you want." Yang Zhao smiled and touched the top of Wen Yu's hair.

Wen Yu snorted coldly and said in his heart, if you listen to me, don't go there. If you meet someone from Liao, you will die.

The fish soup was stewed milky white. Yang Zhao filled a large bowl for Wen Yu and gave him the two tenderest pieces of meat from the fish head. It was the first time Wen Yu ate fish and the fish head was the best in his mouth. The meat was so fresh that I almost swallowed it with my tongue.

A bite of pancake and a sip of fish soup are worth it even if you die immediately!

From the first time they met until now, this was the first time Yang Zhao saw him eating so happily without any restraint. Suddenly, he felt that just watching him eat like this seemed to make him happier than eating himself.

Seeing that he liked to eat fish, Yang Zhaoyou gave him two pieces of meat from the gills of the fish.

"I like to eat fish. I'll catch it for you tomorrow. The fish here are stupid and easier to catch than hares."

This was the first time Wen Yu heard someone say "fish is stupid" and he couldn't help but laugh after hearing this.

"I also want to catch fish." He knew that Yang Zhao would not let him go. Unless he had cotton clothes to wear tomorrow, it would be impossible to go out.

I want to sew my clothes more quickly.

The courtyard, which had not been inhabited for a long time, needed to be repaired everywhere. Yang Zhao was busy working in the courtyard, going out to find some food every day. Wen Yu worked harder on sewing, and finally finished Yang Zhao's cotton-padded clothes today. .

"Brother Yang, come in and try it on."

There were some broken tiles on the roof. Yang Zhao found some good ones to replace them. As soon as he came down from the roof, he heard his husband calling him, and he patted the dust on his hands. Entered the house.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw his husband carrying an indigo jacket and looking at him with a bright light in his eyes.

How could Yang Zhao not see such obvious expectations? He immediately washed his hands, took off his dirty clothes, and put on his husband's new cotton-padded clothes.

No matter the length or tightness, it was just right. Yang Zhao's eyes were filled with surprise.

"The size is just right. It's very warm to wear."

Wen Yu also stepped forward to help him adjust the hem of his clothes. He looked over them again and again and found that they fit very well. They were made a few inches larger so that he could wear a single layer of clothing under the jacket. , Wear more clothes to avoid freezing.

"Where's yours?" Yang Zhao asked with a smile while wearing new clothes.

"I made it for you first, but I haven't finished mine yet."

Hearing this, Yang Zhao frowned, took off his cotton coat, and put it directly on Wen Yu.

"Wear this before you finish it."

Wen Yu was about to refuse, but suddenly thought of something, and hesitated but did not refuse.

Seeing his little expression of being unable to hide something, Yang Zhao smiled and raised his hand to rub the top of his hair.

"When you make your cotton coat, I will take you to catch fish."
