Wu Qinghe nodded and knocked on the old man’s door with the bucket.

The old man was actually feeling terrible at this moment. When he heard that Wu Qinghe had sent hot water over, he didn’t refuse and accepted everyone’s kindness.

After that, Li Xiaoran and Shu Ruyue went to wash up.

They just changed out of their wet clothes. Then, they washed themselves with hot water to warm up before changing into dry clothes.

When the two of them came out, Luo Cheng and Wu Qinghe boiled a pot of ginger soup.

“We’ve already drunk a bowl and also sent the old man a bowl. Hurry up and drink it!” Luo Cheng said to Li Xiaoran and Shu Ruyue.

Li Xiaoran nodded and took the ginger soup from Luo Cheng’s hand before drinking it in one gulp.

Although it was a little spicy, her stomach felt much better after drinking such a bowl of hot soup.

After the night, the four of them were a little tired.

There were only two rooms in the old man’s house. One was for him, and the other was empty.

After the four of them thought for a moment, they simply squeezed into the same room.

Li Xiaoran and Luo Cheng slept on the bed while Shu Ruyue and Wu Qinghe moved two long stools. Then, the two of them lay on the stools and leaned against the wall to sleep.

Fortunately, everyone had brought clothes. If they felt cold, they would put on a few more layers of clothes and make do for the night.

The next day, when the sun rose, Li Xiaoran opened her eves.

At this moment, she was alone in bed.

She quickly got up and walked out of the door. As soon as she went out, she saw Luo Cheng and Wu Qinghe chopping wood at one end of the courtyard.

Shu Ruyue was peeling sweet potatoes with a small knife. When she saw Li Xiaoran, she smiled at her.

“We’ll steam sweet potatoes later. Go wash up first!”

Li Xiaoran nodded and went to get water to wash her face and hands.

“How can we only eat sweet potatoes? I have some cured meat here, so cook some! There are also some vegetables in the vegetable garden at the back, so pick whatever you want to eat! Tell me when you’re done cooking breakfast. I want to eat rice, so cook a pot of rice with sweet potatoes and cook it until it’s soft!” The old man walked out with cured meat while saying.

When Li Xiaoran heard this, she wasn’t intimidated by the old man’s sullen expression and took the cured meat with a smile. “Alright, wait a moment. We’ll stuff the sweet potato rice later!” With that, Li Xiaoran walked towards the kitchen.

Luo Cheng couldn’t help but laugh when he saw his wife smiling.

“Brother Luo Cheng, has Li Xiaoran always been like this?”

“Yes! She can always deal with things with ease,” Luo Cheng replied with a smile.

With that, Luo Cheng carried the chopped firewood to the kitchen and got busy with Li Xiaoran.

“Husband, I’ll boil the hot water first. We have to wash the cured meat later. Put this piece of cured meat on the fire and boil the skin. I’ll go cook sweet potato rice now!” Li Xiaoran said after boiling the water.

“Alright! Don’t worry, leave it to me!” Luo Cheng nodded and replied.

Coincidentally, the fire was already burning, so Luo Cheng picked up the cured meat and placed it on the fire as he held the skin with tongs.

After Shu Ruyue peeled and washed the sweet potatoes, she brought them in. Li Xiaoran washed the white rice skillfully and placed it in the cauldron. Finally, she cut the sweet potatoes into pieces and covered them with water before cooking them.

After doing all this, Luo Cheng called Wu Qinghe over. Then, the two men scooped hot water and washed the cured meat.

After the cured meat was cooked in the pot, Wu Qinghe was in charge of watching the fire on the small stove, and Luo Cheng was in charge of watching the fire on the big stove.

Li Xiaoran and Shu Ruyue went to the vegetable garden outside to see what vegetables there were.

There were still a lot of vegetables in the vegetable garden, but some were still seedlings.

In addition, those nests of cabbage were growing very well. There were also a few nests of cauliflower growing there.

“You actually have cauliflower here? Stir-frying cauliflower with cured meat will be delicious! You can also use this cabbage to stir-fry vegetables, so we’ll have a meat dish and a vegetable dish today!” Li Xiaoran said as she watched. As Shu Ruyue looked at the vegetable garden, she pointed at the green chives not far away.

“Can we eat some chives? I feel like eating chives.”

Li Xiaoran looked in the direction Shu Ruyue was pointing and saw two rows of well- growing chives.

“Alright, cut some chives and bring them back. I see a hen crying in the old man’s house, so there should be eggs. I’ll talk to him later! Before we leave, let’s leave some silver for him as compensation!”

“I don’t want your silver. If you want to eat eggs, take them yourself!” At this moment, the old man’s voice sounded.

After Li Xiaoran looked towards the voice, she saw the old man standing under a fruit tree and reaching out to pick something.

Upon closer inspection, she saw that there were some red fruits hanging on this branch. Of course, there was only a small portion of red fruits. Most of them were unripe fruits.

“Eh, this cherry is actually ripe. Isn’t it a little too early?!” Li Xiaoran asked curiously.

The old man glanced at Li Xiaoran and replied, “I accidentally encountered this cherry in the mountains. At that time, my wife liked to eat it, so I cut off some branches to grow it. In the end, only this one survived. Therefore, I planted this cherry here! Speaking of which, it’s strange that this cherry tree always ripens a month or two earlier than other people’s cherry trees. So you guys are lucky!” When Li Xiaoran heard the old man’s words, she was immediately flattered.

“Sir, are you picking them for us to eat? You can’t do that! Didn’t you say that your wife likes them? Why don’t you leave them for her?!”

When the old man heard Li Xiaoran’s words, his expression darkened.

“She can’t eat it! She had a fall previously and hasn’t woken up yet. The doctor said that her injuries have healed, but for some reason, she just can’t wake up! Previously, I heard that there was a doctor with very good medical skills not far away and my son brought her to see a doctor. I think he should be back in the next two days! I wonder how the situation is!”

When Li Xiaoran heard about the old man’s sad encounter, she felt a little upset.

“Sir, it’s fine. I believe that she will definitely get better!”

The old man nodded without speaking. After picking the last red cherries from the tree, he went to the well in front to wash them.

After Li Xiaoran and Shu Ruyue returned, they told the other two what the old man had just said.

When Luo Cheng heard Li Xiaoran’s words, he understood what his wife meant by telling them..
