When she was repairing the roof that day, she said she liked peach trees and pear trees, and she also said she liked working in the fields, and she liked the little vegetable patch in the yard where she grew garlic and onions and beans and things like that.

And right now, Yang Liulang was opening up a new land for her!

Moved, guilty, and bashful thoughts rushed into Hemai's mind.

Yang Liulang thought of everything carefully for her sake, and she could only repay him with too little!

She quickly went to the kitchen to heat up a pot of water. Seeing that there was a box of barley in it, she sprinkled some of it into a rough pottery bowl and brewed some barley tea, letting it cool down to bring it to Yang Liulang.

Take a breath and have some tea. She said softly.

Yang Liulang turned around and saw the concern in Hemai's eyes.

He put down his hoe and sat on a big rock on the edge of the field. In just a few days, I think I'll be able to carry the ridge well. At that time, it'll be very convenient for us to grow our own plants.

"Originally, I wanted to leave the vegetable patch in the yard, but there are trees growing all over the place so there's no wind. I'm afraid the vegetable patch won't grow well, so I ended up here." He explained.

Hemai smiled and said: "I presume that as long as we manage this land well, we won't need to buy vegetables for the next year, right?"

Yang Liulang laughed and shook his head, "I'm afraid not. "I have eaten a lot. I'm afraid this plot of land will only be enough for you to eat for one year."

Hemai was startled, thinking, no! There was a tall and sturdy man in the house, and how could the vegetables from this estate be enough for the two of them to eat?

"My family doesn't have much silver right now, in a few days I will go up the mountain to hunt and get some to trade with the market. At that time, I will look for Lee Zheng to buy a few acres of land and plant the land.

"Three?" Hemai was startled, "Yes."

She didn't react and thought Yang Liulang was talking about someone from the Yang Family. But from what Hemai knew, people of Yang Family … They're all gone?

"Don't you have a grandmother?" Yang Liulang said softly, "As juniors, we will naturally have to respect her elder's daily rations."

Hemai cursed herself in her heart. Why was it not as thoughtful as Yang Liulang's?

Madam Qin lived in a small courtyard alone. She was very lonely to begin with, so she was the only one who needed to take care of him!

Yang Liulang's thoughts were so meticulous that he even thought of such a thing.

"Yes, there's also Grandma," Hemai said softly, "It's hard for you to think so thoroughly, to take care of my family, thank you so much."

Yang Liulang laughed: "Even though you and I are husband and wife in name, our family experiences are very similar. In this life, if you can take care of me, then I will take care of you. Moreover, didn't I take care of my grandmother to make myself have another family member? "

"You're right," Hemai laughed, "Grandmother really likes you."

Noon, Yang Liulang put down his hoe and went into the kitchen to make lunch with Hemai.

He only said that on Hemai's first day at home, he did not know where to put many things. When she was familiar with them, he would not come to help.

There were some vegetables at home, but not much meat.

At noon, they cooked two simple dishes, the dried stir-fry bean and the bitter melon meat. The main dish was a fried pasta left over from yesterday. The two of them also ate the spicy fragrance.

"There isn't much meat left at home. Tomorrow, I'll go up the mountain and catch some game." Yang Liulang said.

Hearing that, Hemai's heart was moved, and she asked: "How long are you going to be gone for?"

"It won't be long. I won't go beyond the mountainside. I'll go in the morning and I'll be back in the evening." Yang Liulang said.

"Then you have to be careful." Hemai instructed softly.

"Alright." Yang Liulang looked at Hemai's fair face, which was covered with the jade hairpin that he gave her. She looked like a charming young lady, causing others to feel pity for her.

Hemai did not see the look in Yang Liulang's eyes as he stared at the dishes in the bowl.

"Oh, quite a bit. "However, most of them are above the mountainside. They can only catch some small things like wild chickens and wild rabbits. If they want to hunt for bears and wolves, it will take them a few days and nights to get back up the mountainside."

Hemai was very interested in her prey and said with a smile, "I've been to the mountain too. Those wild chicken and wild rabbit spirits are very, very hard to catch."

"That's right. If I don't have what I need, I'm afraid that it will be very difficult to catch me. I also relied on my bow to win."

Hemai asked: "Then can you just rely on your bow and arrows to go up the mountain? "Those bears and wolves are really powerful. They shouldn't be able to do it with just their bows and arrows, right?"

Yang Liulang said: "That's right, it is impossible to have a bow and arrow. The last time I went up the mountainside was months ago. "

At that time, I had two companions, two hounds, following me. When we met a bear, a wolf, a tiger, and a leopard on the mountain, Hei Erhei and the others would be the first to be alerted, and I would be on my guard.

Hemai's heart tightened, "They're …"

"The last time I was attacked by two wild boars, it was all gone." Yang Liulang's gaze dropped, and became a little heavy.

She must be very sad, Hemai said as she looked at Yang Liulang, unable to bear it any longer.

He lived here by himself. Normally, when he went up the mountain to hunt, he would go home to rest and sleep. He believed that the two dogs were close friends with him and that he must have been sad for a long time since he lost them all.

Hemai quickly changed the topic: "I heard from someone that the best weather to go up the mountain is when it rained yesterday. It won't rain today, so it's easy to find footprints, right?"

Yang Liulang raised his head and said, "Yes. "Actually, in order to hunt prey, one must first rely on footprints, and secondly, on the experience and reaction of the hunter."

Hemai rolled her eyes and said: "Tomorrow, can you bring me along as well? I promise I won't cause any trouble, but I can still help you. "

"You want to go?" Yang Liulang asked with a smile.

"Yes!" Hemai raised her spirits and nodded in anticipation.

"Next time then," Yang Liulang thought about it, but did not agree to Hemai's request. "Next time, when I make some preparations, I'll bring you there."

Hemai was slightly disappointed, but when she heard Yang Liulang's promise to go next time, she was still happy. "Alright!"

The morning of the next day, Hemai woke up early, mixed the dough, pinched some steamed buns and steamed it, then cooked the remaining meat at home, broke apart the steamed buns and placed it inside.

After hastily eating a steamed bun for breakfast, the rest of the meat and steamed bun was stored away and brought along to Yang Liulang.

Yang Liulang was dressed in tight clothes today, his wrists and calves were wrapped with bracers, his entire body was capable and sturdy.

The bow on his back made him look even more valiant and mighty. In particular, a pair of eyes as bright as a torch could compete with the radiance of the morning sun.

Hemai could not help but think, what exactly would a shaved Yang Liulang look like?

Before leaving, Yang Liulang turned and looked at Hemai, and said gently: "It's been hard on you alone, I'll be home as soon as possible, you can stay at home and wait. If there's no meaning, then go to Grandma's house to take a look."

"I understand. You don't have to worry about me. I will take care of myself. But you, you must be careful. " Hemai warned.
