In the end, the two of them safely carried the table into the room and set it up in a corner.

"Wangzhige, where did you get such a big table? It's really practical. In the future, we can learn how to write, paint, and play chess here."

With regards to what Lin Chunnuan had said, Dou Wang only felt that it was a novel and looked forward to it, but he did not truly have it. After all, in the entire village, not a single person could read at all, and their lives were pretty good, not to mention drawing and playing chess.

"About three times in half an hour."

That was to say, he would flip through three times in half an hour and once in ten minutes.

Dou Wang nodded, then told Chun Wen that he remembered, and Lin Chunnuan continued to talk.

You just have to keep flipping at this speed until it breaks easily and the fragrance of tea wafts out. Then, you just have to move the bamboo plaque to the house and hang it there.

Lin Chunnuan was very satisfied with Dou Wang's ability to comprehend. She also repeatedly reminded him that during the last drying session, he must remember to close all the doors and windows, not only do you not enter the damp air, you two must not let Little Spot in and cause any trouble.

Everything was made clear, Lin Chunnuan immediately ran towards her home. Dou Wang never dared to let her return in the dark so everyone in the village should already be asleep, and if one or two random people were to wander around outside and meet them, it would be dangerous. Thus, Lin Chunnuan decided to send her back.

Although Lin Chunnuan refused to let Dou Wang see her off, Dou Wang still locked the door and sent Lin Chunnuan to her house. The two of them really ran back the entire way, and their speed was fast, but they were still worried that the tea leaves would not dry for too long. If they knew earlier, they wouldn't have eaten, and would have rushed back home while they were drying the tea leaves.

It was just that during their run home, the two of them deliberately lightened their footsteps. Otherwise, with it being night time, it would inevitably alarm others and they would arrive at the Lin Clan's courtyard entrance. Just as they had expected, the courtyard entrance had already been bolted shut.

It was a good thing that Little Spotty had to follow him over. Otherwise, if he were to knock on the door, he would have woken up everyone and carefully put Little Spotty in. It then went to scratch Lin Chunnuan's door familiarly, since it had already come by once.

When the door made a sound, Zhang Liu immediately opened it. She had been worried for a whole day and when she heard the sound, she knew that her daughter had returned, because her mother-in-law insisted on locking the door.

Even Lin Daqing was very angry, if not because he was afraid of eldest daughter going crazy, he would have liked to beat Zhang Liu up. Hence, he agreed with his mother that, since they had run out, they should not come back.

When Little Spot was scratching on the door for the first time, Zhang Liu heard it. She quickly got down from the ground to pick her daughter up, and when the door to the room was opened, Little Spot quickly jumped out of the courtyard and jumped into Dou Wang's embrace. It wasn't until Lin Chunnuan entered the courtyard that Dou Wang turned around and ran back home.

Usually, when he came out like this, he would never lock the door, but it was different now. His house had too many valuable things, the silver in the barn, the mint that was left to dry, the tea that was left to dry, and the meat of deer that was prepared for Little Spot. They were all valuable things.

At the same time, Lin Chunnuan followed Zhang Liu into the courtyard and into her own house. The two of them did not speak.

"Sister …"

Just that when she entered the room, Lin Chunjiao called her softly. If her sister did not come back, she would not be able to sleep soundly.

"Why aren't you asleep yet? Didn't I tell you not to worry about me?"

"Elder sister, why did you just return?"

When Chun Jiao saw that his sister had gotten on the brick bed, he immediately asked her in a low voice. Today, she was really worried, afraid that something would happen to her sister.

"I haven't finished what I wanted to do, but it was done smoothly. It's just that I didn't have enough time. Next time, I will arrange time well. I won't be back so late."

Lin Chunnuan hugged her sister, reassuring her.

"Next time, don't even think about it, I won't let you out. This time, our mothers will be scared out of their wits. If there is a next time, when you come back, you might not be able to see us anymore, and will be directly scared to death by you."

Zhang Liu was really too worried. She had been in a trance the entire day, because her daughter did not tell her the truth, as she did not know what exactly her daughter was up to. The worry slowly disappeared as time passed, and it kept on rising, until she really felt that she had reached the limit of what she could bear.

Lin Chunnuan also knew that she really came back a bit too late today, so she didn't try to figure it out. She just wanted to find a chance and reveal a little of what his mother had done to him and let her know that she was doing serious business.

"Mother, don't worry, I'll tell you in detail in the future. You just need to remember that your eldest daughter isn't stupid and definitely won't do anything bad.

Lin Chunnuan gave her mother a calming pill that was neither painful nor itchy.

"Chun Jiao, since you haven't slept, then do you want to eat sister's good stuff?"

He did not want to talk too much with his mother. After all, it was late in the night and every word was very clear. It was not the best time to explain it.

"Yes, I wanted to. Today, I brought back two bundles of firewood. Grandmother thought that it was too little, so she ended up giving me half of the usual food."

The little girl rubbed her stomach. She hadn't eaten her fill to begin with, and now that her elder sister had arrived at this hour, she was truly hungry.

After Lin Chunnuan heard her sister's words, she was so angry that smoke almost spouted out.

"Mom, although each bundle of firewood doesn't look like much, two bundles can match the amount of firewood I usually pick up. Why did grandma say that little sister didn't carry enough firewood? She only had a little more."

After Zhang Liu heard eldest daughter's question, she had no choice but to say with a sigh.

"Isn't it because you went out on your own today, making your grandmother angry? If she doesn't give Chun Jiao enough food, she will only find a place to vent."

Lin Chunnuan angrily opened up the oil paper bag and handed it over to her sister. A fragrant smell immediately wafted out and even Zhang Liu could not help but swallow her saliva.

"Hey, meat of deer, it's still warm from the barbecue, hurry up and eat it."

It was really too tasty. Since Chun Jiao could remember, he had never eaten meat before, so when it was New Year's Eve, there was only chicken soup in this place. She and her brother could only drink the soup, and the meat would be given to Chun Ming, Chun Xiang and the Spring Flower to eat.

As for Spring Fragrance and Spring Flower, they were the two daughters of the little aunt's family. One was at least six years old, and the other was at least five, both were older than Chun Jiao, but of course, the grandfather, grandmother, second uncle, and second aunt of the Lin Family were also able to eat meat, which was more or less speaking, only Lin Daqing's family could only eat soup.

"We will all have meat to eat in the future. Chun Jiao, don't worry, big sister will work hard to earn money, and then, I will buy good food for you and your little brother. Whatever you guys want to eat, I will bring it over for you."

Seeing Chun Jiao eat it, Lin Chunnuan's heart ached.

"Chun Jiao, slow down, stop choking, don't you have more, I'll give it all to you."

Zhang Liu also felt bad for his daughter. Seeing that she was almost choked from eating, he quickly used her hands to smooth her chest, making her eat more slowly.

"Mom, you have one too."

Hearing his mother's words, Lin Chunjiao began to slowly chew the meat in his mouth. He even reached out to grab a piece of meat and placed it next to his mother's mouth.

"Mother isn't eating. Mother is still full."

Could he eat his fill in the Lin Clan? Lin Chunnuan was really laughing himself to death. It was already good enough that he did not starve himself to death.

"Mother, just eat. My friend still has more. I'll roast some more for my sister and them tomorrow."

Hearing that Lin Chunnuan said that she was a friend, Zhang Liu once again remembered what happened during the day.

"Warm Spring, just which friends have you made? Tell me and I'll be at ease."

Lin Chunnuan pointed at the direction Lin Daqing pointed at, and Zhang Liu could only sigh, there were some things she could not say in front of her husband, as she truly did not have the same thoughts as herself and her child.

"Sis!"

He didn't know if the smell of the meat had woken Lin Chunxiao up, or if he had been awakened by the sound of someone talking in the middle of the night, he rubbed his eyes and looked at Lin Chunnuan with half closed eyes.

Lin Chunjiao took out a piece of meat of deer and stuffed it into her brother's mouth. Lin Chunxiao immediately woke up, the taste of the meat was too real, this let him know, she was not dreaming.

"Meat, it's so delicious."
