My Dear Wife, Please Be Gentle!-Chapter 44 - 45 Moved_1

Animals would come out to forage after the rain, making it a prime time for hunting, and considering how quickly things dried in the summer, she estimated that it would take just two or three hours before Sun Erhu headed up the mountain.

After getting up and washing herself, Qiao Duo’er quickly began to make dough.

She first mixed the new dough well, then incorporated the old dough and kneaded it until it was even, waiting for it to rise.

With the temperature being high, it would take no more than two hours for the dough to rise.

While waiting, Qiao Duo’er hurriedly washed her clothes as she too needed to go up the mountain that day.

After washing her clothes, Qiao Duo’er spread out the herbs to dry, thinking to herself that today, her beauty powder would surely be ready.

Half an hour later, the dough had doubled in size—proof that it had risen properly.

Qiao Duo’er kneaded the dough again to release the air trapped within.

The fermented old dough had a sour taste, so she needed to add some alkaline powder to neutralize it.

Finally, she rolled the dough into a long strip and cut it into evenly sized pieces, rolled them into balls, and then they were ready to be placed in the steamer to steam.

After more than an hour of work, the steamed buns were ready.

There were twenty large buns in total, ensuring enough staple food for the coming days.

The buns were easy to preserve; dried under the sun, they could last for over ten days without any problems.

After eating breakfast, Qiao Duo’er packed two buns for Sun Erhu to take with him.

Sun Erhu was so moved he was nearly brought to tears; aside from his mother, no one else had ever been so kind to him.

He suddenly understood why Tan Zhenghong was so good to his sister-in-law; if he had such a wife, he would certainly hold her in the palm of his hand and cherish her deeply.

In the morning, Qiao Duo’er tidied up the house and then went to the mountain after lunch.

Many mushrooms sprouted on the mountain after the rain, and Qiao Duo’er picked a few varieties she recognized.

By evening, she planned to catch a few fish and cook them into a soup— it would surely be deliciously fresh.

Qiao Duo’er had good luck today and even found a piece of wild ginseng in a corner.

Although it was small, it could definitely fetch one or two taels of silver.

As the sun set, Qiao Duo’er returned home in high spirits.

She started stewing the fish soup and then headed over to Sun Erhu’s house to grind Bai Ji and Bai Zhi into powder with a mill.

At this moment, Little Wang Clan from the main room was feeling disgruntled.

“Had I known, I would not have agreed to divide the family.

Now, The Fourth Boss’s House may even be working less.”

Unable to hold back, Little Wang Clan complained.

Had they not split the household, would it ever have been her turn to do the laundry and cooking?

Tan Zhengyong said indifferently, “You want to keep the family property in your hands and yet not do any work.

Where could you find such good fortune?”

Little Wang Clan pinched Tan Zhengyong’s waist, retorting, “Who am I doing all this for, huh?”

“Of course, I know it’s for my benefit, and for the benefit of our son!”

Tan Zhengyong hurriedly appeased her, well aware of his wife’s explosive temper.

Little Wang Clan huffed lightly, “Your parents are also too lazy, just waiting around for their meals and doing nothing!”
