The Pretty Man I Picked Up [Time Travel]

Chapter 32: Strengthen the Spleen and Nourish the Stomach

He Damu put down the backpack, took one out and handed it to him, "See for yourself whether it's hard or not."

He Dashu, a fool, took it, broke it with his hands, broke it into two pieces, and said with a smile: "It's not hard, there's still juice."

His hands became sticky, so he put the yams back into his backpack. After a while, he noticed that his hands were itchy, so he kept scratching them.

He Dalin saw it and said, "Did you touch the yam mucus? Go and wash your hands! It will make people feel itchy if it sticks to it."

Upon hearing this, Dashu's wife immediately took back her outstretched hand and urged her husband: "Go and wash your hands quickly, what are you touching!"

He Dashu turned around and walked towards the water tank in the courtyard, bending down to get water to wash his hands.

His mother was carrying a basket full of pigweed on her back. When she came back from outside, she saw He Dashu washing his hands, pouring water in ladles.

She felt distressed and said, "What's going on? How dirty are your hands? It takes so much water to wash them!"

He brought the water back.

He Dashu felt aggrieved, "Mom! I touched the yam mucus and my skin itched! My second brother said I should wash it with water."

His mother, Mrs. He Li, glanced at him and said no more about the matter, "Hey, I'll take the pig food and feed it to the pigs later."

She placed the pigweed at the foot of the great tree.

Mrs. He Li walked towards her two sons in the main room with small steps.

He Damu carried the basket into the main room. As soon as he stepped out the door, he saw his mother coming back, "Mom."

He Dalin followed him out and called out, "Mom, you're back."

"Let me see what your two brothers have dug up today."

"How should I burn this thing?"

He Damu said: "Peel the skin and make soup. Didn't we have some pig feet left over yesterday that we didn't sell? Why don't we chop some and cook them together today?"

It was the first time He Li saw this thing and she didn't know how to do it. She nodded, "Let your husband do it later. You guys understand this thing."

He Damu responded: "Okay, I will tell my husband when he comes back."

The fenced yard at the end of the village.

Lin Qingjiu was pulling the hemp rope to fetch water from the well. There was a wooden basin filled with cabbage beside the well.

When he saw that he had applied, he put down his needle and thread and prepared to wash the vegetables first so that he could cook them directly when Xu Haorui came back.

Well water is warm in winter and cool in summer. It is still bright and the temperature has not dropped yet, so it is perfect to use well water to wash vegetables.

As soon as he reached the bucket and before he could pour the water into the basin, he heard Xu Haorui's voice calling him from outside the courtyard. He didn't even think about of letting go the bucket that he had finally reached.

Lin Qingjiu happily ran to open the door.

The water from the well poured down, the bucket plummeted, floated a few times in the water, and finally rippled on the surface of the water.

"Arui, you're back!" Lin Qingjiu quickly pulled out the door latch and opened the door for Xu Haorui.

Hear his voice before he sees him.
