"Then be careful on the road, go early and return early."

Qiao Yun didn't dare to think about it anymore. If Nan Jun found his family, he would be the only one left in the yard in the future, what would he do.

"Go and wash up, I'll serve the meal first."

The hot porridge still smelled like meat, but Qiao Yun had no appetite, so he just scooped it up spoon by spoon, but didn't put it in his mouth.

"Why don't you eat it? But it doesn't suit your appetite?"

Nan Jun held the bowl and took a big sip. Seeing that Qiao Yun was still in a daze, he couldn't help asking.

Qiao Yun was dazed, shook his head quickly, and then used a small wooden spoon to put a spoonful of porridge into his mouth. The aroma of the entrance spread all the way to his stomach, it was very warm!

"You...how did you know how to hunt? When did you learn how to cook?"

After a long silence, Qiao Yun finally asked out the doubts in his heart.

Even though Nan Jun suffered a serious illness and her temper changed a bit, when did she learn these skills?

They grew up together since they were young, and Nan Jun couldn't fool Qiao Yun.

"Doesn't hunting depend on talent? As for cooking... I don't know how to do it, but after seeing you make porridge, I was impressed by it, so I tried to make it. I don't think it tastes good."

Nan Jun didn't feel flustered at all, but explained patiently.

She can't tell him that she is an old monster who has lived for hundreds of years!

Qiao Yun lowered his eyes and thought for a while, wondering if he believed Nan Jun's words, but he didn't ask again.

After eating the porridge, Qiao Yun took the bowls and chopsticks to wash, while Nan Jun sat in the yard chopping firewood. The rising sun radiated a warm halo, and it was also warm on people's bodies.

There was still some porridge left in the pot, and chicken soup was simmering in another pot, and the umami smell of the meat had already escaped along the side of the pot, making people salivate.

Qiao Yun took a peek at the girl who was earnestly chopping firewood. The sun fell on her face, and a thin layer of sweat broke out on her face. Looking at her already handsome face like this made people unable to move their eyes away.

Turning around so suddenly, Qiao Yun secretly scolded herself for not doing it, and kept telling herself that she was his sister, and he shouldn't be staring at her like this.

Nan Jun neatly stacked the split firewood in a corner of the kitchen so that Qiao Yun could use it more easily.

Patting the dirt on his sleeves, Nan Jun had a smile on his face.

"In the future, I will do the work of chopping firewood and carrying water. You are a man, so you only need to sew and mend at home. I will go to town later, and I will not be able to come back for lunch at noon. There is also some porridge, soup is stewed in that pot, remember to eat more."

Qiao Yun has had a hard time these past few years. He is doing all the heavy and tiring work at home. Now that Nan Jun is here, I only hope that he can relax.

"Well, if you plan to go to town in the future, remember to tell me in advance so that I can make you some pancakes and take them with you. It's too late today, so I'll pack these two buns for you. If you're hungry, you can order them Remember to pad your stomach."

Nan Jun's words warmed Qiao Yun's heart. Over the years, this was the first time she heard her say these words of concern for herself.

"it is good."

Nan Jun nodded with a faint smile, and watched Qiao Yun wrap the two golden buns with a clean kerchief before she took them with a smile.

"I can smell my quilt a little bit, it just happens to be a good day today, so you can take it apart and wash it for me today!"

Before leaving, Nan Jun specifically asked Qiao Yun to unpack and wash her bedding.

In fact, it's not that the bedding is smelly, it's just that Nan Jun is afraid that Qiao Yun will do some rough work again, so he deliberately finds an excuse for him to let him sit on the kang for a while.

Qiao Yun wondered, he had just changed her bedding a few days ago, so why did it smell?

It's just that Nan Jun asked specifically, and Qiao Yun had no choice but to comply.

"Oh, and, keep that sheep at home! If you want to eat meat, let's ask the elders in the village to help kill it. If you don't want to eat it, let's raise it first!"

Nanjun went to the town on foot, and he didn't know how long it would take. It was really inconvenient to lead the sheep.

If any family in this village butchers pigs and sheep, the elders will come to help. At that time, they just need to prepare a table of butchered dishes for them to eat. Maybe the mutton can be sold for a few copper coins!

"I don't eat meat, let's raise it first!"

Qiao Yun hurriedly said, the village head had a cow and two sheep at home, he was envious, now that Nanjun brought back a sheep, how could he be willing to kill it for meat?

"Okay, let's keep it if you like. I'm leaving, you lock the door, wash and rinse in the yard, and fetch water when I come back."

Before leaving, Nan Jun took another look at the gate of her own courtyard. In the past two days, she had to change the gate quickly.

Qiao Yun pinched the corner of his clothes and watched Nan Jun walking away with the sack, and his heart also tugged.

This is the first time Nanjun went to the town alone, and I don't know if she knows the way, what if someone bullies her when she is young?

Before Nanjun walked out of Qiao's Village, Qiao Yun was already worried, for fear that Nanjun would be bullied.

Now is the season of busy farming, because Qiao Yun's family has little land, so he doesn't have to go to the field after harvesting the grain early, but others are not as leisurely as they are.

There were no people along the way, and Nan Jun walked faster and faster. She should have walked for two hours, but she only walked for half an hour and arrived at Chaolu Town.

Because Chaolu Town is close to Yong'an City, even though it is a small town, it is still comparable to county towns in many areas.

There are many people in the town, all kinds of people, the street is full of hawking, it is very lively!

Nan Jun took the sack and went directly to the largest restaurant in the town. In this age of scarcity, only rich people could afford meat, but which one of the poor people who came in and out of this restaurant?

So Nan Jun knew that this bag of things would not be too cheap, and she was not worried about not being able to sell her few pheasants and rabbits that were still alive.

The whitish washed clothes did not match Nan Jun's temperament at all, so that Nan Jun carried the sack all the way to the back kitchen, but no one made a sound to drive her out.

Nan Jun quickly found the person in charge of the spoon, and when he saw the live things in her bag, the person in charge of the spoon called the shopkeeper again.

Xu Shi, the shopkeeper, often encountered such things, so he didn't talk nonsense with Nan Jun, he just looked at the things in the bag and gave her the money.

Nanjun sent a total of six pheasants and five rabbits. The pheasants cost 60 renminbi each, and the rabbits cost 80 renminbi each. They got a total of 760 renminbi.

Nan Jun would not even glance at these copper coins in the past few lives, but in this life, she actually felt that what was held heavily in her hands was the future of her and Qiao Yun.

After leaving the restaurant, Nan Jun went to the cloth shop first, she didn't care, but Qiao Yun had to make two new clothes.

Especially the inner clothes, he was already delicate, so he had to make a few soft ones for his close-fitting clothes.
