Divine Doctor, Sweet Wife
CHAPTER 21 The Abundant Harvest
It seems like no one has ever visited this place. After heavy rains in the past two days, the fungus has grown all. The place is not full of mushrooms.
The number of mushrooms here allows him to pack for a few sacks.
He found himself very lucky!
Gu Qingyao was happy that no one would blame too much food. The more reward!
He picked up the basket and started picking mushrooms from the side. Since Mo Beihan wasn't around, he put a lot of mushrooms into place. After some time, he left some outside and was about to return.
He had one basket and two sacks of mushrooms and saw more mushrooms under the hill. Gu Qingyao smiled and walked backwards with the mushroom in her hand. He should come with Mo Beihan later after he returns.
After he put all the mushrooms into the cave, Mo Beihan still did not return. It was midday and Gu Qingyao did not come out anymore because Mo Beihan might be worried if he did not see her when he returned.
He was in a good mood and picked up a fish head and cooked some soup.
He used the smaller ones because the two of them would not be able to finish the bigger ones.
Mo Beihan brought some items, pottery jars and aluminum pans. The kind that people usually cook in the countryside. However, the pot was too big and Gu Qingyao did not use it.
He used a jar to fetch water from the spring above the puddle to cook his fish soup.
There was no tofu at the moment so he included some wild mushrooms and vegetables. After adding some herbs, he waited for the soup to ripen.
Gu Qingyao smiled as she looked at the items Mo Beihan had brought. He even brought herbs. It reminds how they cooked in the wild in a previous life.
Mo Beihan came back when the soup was ready.
He brought a lot of stuff with him.
His hand held a sack that was about half filled. More important was that there was a boar on his shoulders.
Gu Qingyao widened her eyes, "You ..you met a wild boar?"
Mo Beihan did not respond to his shock and smiled, “Well, I was lucky today. This one is small and alone so I brought it back.”
Gu Qingyao: "..."
He intended to say that it was dangerous because wild boars always lived in groups.
But she still smiled and told me how lucky she was.
Indeed, Mo Beihan was extremely strong. He was lucky to meet the one who was alone.
Mo Beihan knew that Gu Qingyao came out as he looked at the mushroom beside him.
“Nothing happened to you, right? Remember not to go too far.”
Gu Qingyao smiled and poured everything out of the sack, “Yes, I won't…. Wah!”
There were three rabbits, two chickens, and a roaring deer!
"My Lord! Brother Beihan, you really are my idol. How can you get so many things? You only came out less than half a day.”
Mo Beihan was washing his face near a puddle of water. He turned his head and smiled, "Are you idolizing me now?"
Gu Qingyao nodded, “Of course! You are my idol and the best, Brother Beihan!”
Gu Qingyao did idolize him because she always had the impression that Mo Beihan was the strongest.
He took her everywhere in his previous life. There's nothing he's not sure about. He always took good care of her.
Mo Beihan looked into the little girl's sparkling eyes and smiled, “Do you want to go to town with me tomorrow? Let's buy some cloth and make some new clothes for you. It's going to be a new year soon. I'm on a break now but I won't be able to come back during the New Year. Let me take the opportunity to buy something for you, okay?
'That's sweet, ' Gu Qingyao thought.
"It's okay. I don't need anything exactly. You must be very tired outside.” he said.
“I am a man and I have to be busy and tired outside. But you're different. You are a girl and still young. Of course you deserve better things. I've got plenty of coupons and can afford to make you two new sets of clothes. Don't worry about money, I have.
Gu Qingyao did not say anything but she was completely touched by those words. He lowered his head and blushed.
He knew that Mo Beihan was telling the truth.
The items he got today were worth quite a lot if he sold them on the black market.
He had a lot of coupons and could buy a lot of stuff if he wanted to.
Strong people always make sure that they and those around them lead a good life no matter how harsh the environment they are in. Mo Beihan was one of such people.
Although they were born in the seventies when there was a shortage of food, Mo Beihan took good care of his family.
His father left home when he was young and never returned. But everyone knew that his father left his wife in the countryside and had a good time in the city.
His mother, Jiang Yingqiu, raised two sons alone, but elder brother Mo Beihan died in the army and left his two sons behind. His brother's wife was married to someone else in town and didn't care about his two children.
Life was much harder then. Many people died of starvation.
The Mo Family did not have a male to run the family. They survived but were very poor.
However, the situation improved after Mo Beihan grew up. The family lived a much better life when he got a job.
This is a man's ability. He can always make sure that he will live a better life in all situations.
Mo Beihan did not tease the little girl anymore because he was shy. Instead, she washed her hands and asked him to eat.
“You cooked soup? It smells so good!”
Gu Qingyao brought him some food and said, “Well, I have a lot of mushrooms and there is still a lot left. I was in a good mood so I cooked some fish soup. Try.”
The soup is boiled in a jar. There was mushrooms, wild vegetables, and two eggs in it.
Mo Beihan was hungry and immediately started eating.
Gu Qingyao gave him a bowl of rice and chicken with chili. He was a little surprised and said, "A really good meal."
Gu Qingyao smiled, “I prepared it for you. It must be exhausting for you on the mountain. Eat a good meal.”
Mo Beihan smiled and did not mind.
The food they ate was considered a luxury in the seventies. It was something that people living in trouble could not afford. However, Mo Beihan did not care. They could eat anything as long as Yao Yao wanted.
Yao Yao suffered from all sorts of rumors and gossip at such a beautiful age in his previous life.
A 15-year-old boy lives in fear just because his family is a landowner. Things got worse after that incident. Almost everyone was bad to her.
People rolled their eyes at him, gossiping and even cursing him. They looked at him with disgust. No one can take that.
His Yao Yao stayed in such a neighborhood for many years. Even when both were middle-aged and the community flourished, he did not dispel the rumors, until he died.
Mo Beihan looked at the girl with a beautiful smile as he ate.
'I will take good care of him in this life!' he thinks.
