156 Wife, Let’s Shower Together
After a while, Bai Wutong came over with tea and snacks. Chu Tianbao followed behind her.
When Little Cat saw Chu Tianbao, who had an extraordinary aura, he dug his toes into the ground and did not dare to move his eyes anymore.
The other children began to tremble.
The hunters in their village did not look as imposing as Chu Tianbao.
Zhao Erwa used to be quite afraid of Chu Tianbao, but he was no longer afraid now. He comforted Little Cat and the others. “Don’t be afraid. Our master is a good person.” Then he lowered his voice and reminded, “As long as you don’t make Madam Bai angry, Master Chu won’t be angry. If anyone makes Madam Bai angry, the consequences will be serious.”
Little Cat and the others quickly nodded. They did not dare to provoke him.
Bai Wutong approached and happened to hear Zhao Erwa’s words. She glanced at Chu Tianbao, who was going to weigh the fruits, and her eyes were filled with a gentle smile.
The white and tender rice cake was extremely tempting. Little Cat and the rest could not help but swallow their saliva.
They had never even eaten refined rice since they were young. But they actually saw rice cakes made from fine rice flour here.
Little Cat and the others tried their best to control themselves. They gritted their teeth and tried not to look at the rice cake, but their stomachs growled.
“Rumble rumble~”
Bai Wutong pretended not to hear. “You guys eat. I’ll go see how many fruits you picked today.” With her around, this group of children who had just arrived would be more reserved.
After Bai Wutong left, Little Cat and the others still did not dare to reach for the rice cake.
Zhao Erwa skillfully picked up a piece of rice cake and placed it in Little Peach’s short hands. He then picked up a piece of rice cake and stuffed it into Little Cat’s hand, telling him to eat freely.
“Don’t worry and just eat. If you feel embarrassed, you can give Madam Bai an extra basket of mulberries like us.”
If he sent another basket of mulberries, he would be able to eat such delicious rice cakes!!!
“Really?” They couldn’t believe it.
“Really!” Zhao Erwa nodded with certainty.
Little Cat and the others finally reached out and grabbed a piece of rice cake. They couldn’t wait to bite it. When they took a bite, the rice cake melted in their mouths and was sweet.
Little Cat said incredulously, “There’s sugar?”
Zhao Erwa and the others could not stop eating. How could they have the time to answer him?
Seeing that the rice cake on the plate was about to be gone, Little Cat carefully put the rice cake that he had taken a bite of into his bosom when no one was paying attention. He picked up a piece of rice cake and looked around guiltily. He realized that the little white wolf that could not speak was staring at him. Little Cat’s hands were trembling with fear. He thought of his mother at home, but he could not bear to take out the rice cake.
The group of children quickly finished the rice cake and tea.
On the other side, Chu Tianbao had already skillfully calculated the copper coins that every child should receive. He wrote it down with a charcoal pencil and handed it to Bai Wutong. He blinked and said, “Wife, look.”
Bai Wutong took it and looked at it. He had calculated it perfectly.
She smiled and praised, “Tianbao is so smart.”
Chu Tianbao immediately put on a smug expression.
Bai Wutong couldn’t help but reach out and pinch his firm chin. “Stop lifting your head so high. If you raise your neck any further, you’ll be soaring into the sky.”
Chu Tianbao closed his eyes and placed his chin in Bai Wutong’s palm. He rubbed it with a look of enjoyment.
His beard had grown back, and his cold face was very manly. Bai Wutong scraped it lightly with her fingers. “You should shave soon.”
Chu Tianbao opened his dark eyes. “Wife can do it.” He looked like he was asking for a reward.
Bai Wutong narrowed her eyes and lowered her voice to his ear to tempt him. “If you finish shaving, I’ll give you a kiss.”
Chu Tianbao’s eyes lit up and he decisively chose his wife’s kiss. “Tianbao can shave myself!”
Bai Wutong counted the children’s copper coins. Every child who received the copper coins looked excited. Little Cat had even cried.
He felt like it was the happiest day of his life. Not only had he eaten sweet rice cakes and drunk good warm tea, but he had also exchanged a basket of mulberries for seven copper coins. It was enough for him to buy several large steamed buns.
Little Cat wiped his tears and took out two copper coins from his hand and placed them on the table. He then took out the rice cake that he had hidden and pleaded Bai Wutong, “Madam Bai, can I bring this rice cake back to my mother? My mother has never eaten anything so delicious.”
Tears glistened in his eyes with the purest love for his mother.
Bai Wutong stroked his head and took the two copper coins. “Okay,” she said gently.
These two copper coins were his pride that he carefully protected. Bai Wutong had to accept them.
Little Cat’s tears flowed again after he had tried to hold it back. At this moment, he sincerely agreed with Zhao Erwa and the others. Madam Bai was the most beautiful, kindest, and the… best person in the world.
Bai Wutong wrapped the rice cake in oiled paper and returned it to him.
After the children had their fill, they rushed out with bamboo baskets. They still had to pick many wild fruits to exchange for many copper coins.
For the entire day, this group of children picked fruits. By dusk, the Bai Wutong’s kitchen was filled with mulberries, prickly berries, and hairy cherries.
In addition to making jam, Bai Wutong also made prickly berries and hairy cherries into preserved fruits that could be eaten as snacks for a long time.
There was still some left. Bai Wutong asked Chu Tianbao to borrow some wine from the Cui family to make fruit wine.
The fruit wine she made was very different from the fruit wine in this world. The taste of the wine was much better, and the fruit taste was even better.
When Cui Lingyi saw that Chu Tianbao had come to borrow wine, she brought Cui Muzhi along to join in the fun.
Bai Wutong was short-handed, so she made use of the additional manpower and arranged for them to remove the cherry core beside Chu Tianbao.
Chu Tianbao was still thinking about his wife’s kiss. He urged them and said, “Why are you guys so slow!”
Cui Muzhi sped up the removal of the core and said, “Soon, soon, soon.”
It was dark and the two jars of wine were finally put aside. After fermentation and waiting for a while, they had to filter and mix the taste before they could drink the delicious fruit wine.
Cui Lingyi was already looking forward to it when she heard Bai Wutong describe the taste of the fruit wine.
Everyone had been busy for so long, so they definitely had to stay and have a meal together before leaving.
As usual, they had small talk during dinner, so it took a lot of time.
...
Chu Tianbao sat at the dining table and looked at them faintly.
Not long after Bai Wutong sent them out, he returned. Chu Tianbao had already cleaned up the table.
The table was polished so clean that it was as reflective as a mirror. He was also standing on the edge of the sink, washing dishes like a whirlwind top.
Bai Wutong leaned against the door like she was watching an entertaining acrobats show.
In less than five minutes, Chu Tianbao saw the bottom of the sink and heaved a long sigh of relief. He looked up and met Bai Wutong’s smiling gaze. “Wife, wait a little longer. The bath water will be ready soon.”
Bai Wutong smiled. “Yeah.” She turned around and went upstairs to get her clothes.
When she came down, Chu Tianbao had already poured the bath water from the large pot into the bathroom bathtub.
After Bai Wutong hung up the clothes, he leaned over and suddenly said innocently, “Wife, let’s shower together?”
Bai Wutong was speechless.
