Chapter 414: Child Prodigy

Han Qiao agreed with a smile.

Han Qiao was willing to fry the three eggs, and the kitchen instantly became very fragrant.

“Qin’er, go get the noodles.’1

“Alright.”

Zeng Qin’er went to get the noodles, and Ah-Yao followed her.

He even reached out his hand to pull Shun Zi away from the kitchen.

Granny Gu watched and pursed her lips as she stepped forward to help light the fire.

She didn’t know if she could split the big pot with Shun Zi, but it was fine if she didn’t get to eat.

“Granny, do you have onions at home?”

“Yes, I’ll go pick some.” Granny Gu stood up and went to pick some onions.

When she came out of the kitchen, she saw Zeng Qin’er carrying a large cloth bag, and Shun Zi holding a piece of mung bean cake.

“Great-Grandma.”

Granny Gu smiled, “Yes, yes. I’m going to pick some onions.”

Her observation was right. This family was rich.

As for whether they were running to avoid disaster, running away from enemies, or they were telling the truth about meeting someone, she didn’t know or care.

Wealth and honor were insurance to danger.

Han Qiao cooked a pot of egg noodles. There was not much left even if all three eggs were boiled. She prepared them for the three children, but the three adults wouldn’t get any.

Granny Gu was pleasantly surprised.

Heng Yi fed Ah-Yao eggs and noodles first.

Ah-Yao had a small appetite. After finishing the egg, eating a few mouthfuls of noodles, and soup, he was full.

He patted his stomach.

“Full.”

Heng Yi finished the rest in two bites. Looking at it, Ah-Yao exclaimed,” Father, awesome!”

Heng Yi patted his head.

He leaned against Heng Yi and watched as his father ate, occasionally drinking some soup.

He was relieved to find that the taste was the same.

“You little genius,” Han Qiao laughed.

He had only eaten a little salt in the beginning. But soon enough, he accidentally discovered that the adults, his brothers, and sisters ate a different taste from what he ate. He cried for a long time when he knew.

The little child felt like he was being abused and threw a tantrum for a few days. Later on, he wanted to eat what adults ate. If it tasted the same, he would laugh. If it didn’t, he would pester them to have the same.

Zeng Qin’er was not a picky eater.

Although she had lived a good life in the Heng Manor for two years, she had no complaints about going back to the ways of the past. After eating the noodles, she packed up and prepared to wash the dishes.

“I’ll wash the dishes,” Granny Gu hurriedly said, “I can’t eat your noodles for nothing.”

She had forgotten how long it had been since she had eaten like this.

When she was a servant girl for a young lady, she could occasionally eat a good meal. After she redeemed herself and got married, she was happy for the first two years. Unfortunately, her husband died in an accident, and it seemed as if fate had taken away all her good luck with him.

She had been washing dishes and sweeping the floor for decades.

This family of four, the mother had three extra hands and a tender face. One look and it was obvious that she was not someone who did such rough work.

Zeng Qin’er didn’t refuse.

Eating and doing things were natural.

Heng Yi told Han Qiao that he was going outside, “I’ll help clean up the house first, then I’ll go around and see if I can hunt any wild animals.”

“It’s too cold. Heat some water.”

Heng Yi looked at Han Qiao’s hands, which were red from the cold, “We should have brought a small stove.”

“Did you bring the ointment for your armguard? One word and I’ll do anything.”

Han Qiao laughed, “It’s not that expensive and I’m just cleaning the house. It’s not a big deal. When everything is done, you can go to the mountains for a walk. It’s just that you’re not familiar with this place, so you have to be careful.” “Alright.”

Han Qiao wasn’t afraid of Heng Yi entering the mountain.

After all, things were different now. He had also practiced some martial arts moves from the secret manual.

Amongst other things, his moves were definitely much better than before. Although he had only exchanged a dozen moves with Crazy Yang, he could be considered an expert.

Granny Gu washed the dishes and started to boil water.

That room had not been occupied for a long time. It needed to be tidied up inside and out, and the holes in the brick bed needed to be dug out.

Granny Gu also came over to help.

The room was not very big, so it didn’t take long for them to clean it up and lay out the bed.

Granny Gu secretly felt the bed. The cushion was thick and the blanket was light and thin. It was all made out of cotton, and it felt warm to the touch.

They even brought a pillow.

There were many things that she had never seen even when she was working as a servant girl.

“I have an empty wardrobe in my room. Do you want me to bring one over?” Granny Gu asked.

“Thank you, Grandma.”

Heng Yi hadn’t gone out yet. He was strong enough to carry the wardrobe under the eaves. Han Qiao went up to clean it and then moved it into their new room.

“You go ahead. I’ll clean up the rest.”

“Alright.” Heng Yi took out his hunting tools and changed into thick leather boots.

“Father, you can do it! I’ll wait for you to eat meaty meat.” Yao raised his hand and clenched his fist.

“Alright,”

Heng Yi patted his head, “Listen to, Mother.”

“Okay, okay, go quickly,” With that, Ah-Yao ran into the house to look for Han Qiao.

“Mother, pee-pee.”

Han Qiao took off his pants and took out a porcelain urinal.

This was his personal item. They had to bring it with them this time.

He was too particular with his things.

Han Qiao held it for him. After he finished peeing and put on his pants, he ran out to look for Shun Zi.

Pointing at Shun Zi’s crotch, he said,” Shun Zi, Shun Zi, do you have a little cow?”

Shun Zi nodded.

“Ah, Brother Shun Zi.”

Children had their own childish language.

Han Qiao was unpacking in the room. They only had two baskets of clothes and bedding. Among them, Ah-Yao had the most cotton pants. She was mainly afraid that he would wet his pants and the bed. Although the child had not wet the bed since a few months ago, it was still better to be prepared.

There was also Qin’er’s mattress, blanket, and clothes.

They had brought a big bag.

It was all thanks to Heng Yi’s strength that they could carry all their food and things.

Han Qiao took out the food and placed them on the table. Even though they had no money now, they were not worried at all.

With Heng Yi’s hunting ability, they could make money in a few days.

After the room was tidied up, Han Qiao went to boil water to wash their wet socks and put them under the eaves to dry.

She also cleaned and dried their shoes.

Granny Gu was sitting on the brick bed, collecting the soles of her shoes. This was also the work that she and Shun Zi relied on to make a living and earn money.

Even though a pair of shoes wouldn’t make much money, it was better than nothing.

Although raising a dozen chickens, and planting corn, and sweet potatoes were not easy, at the very least they could survive.

Han Qiao did things quickly.

When she was done, Ah-Yao ran to her to hug her, “Mother, sleepy.”

“Then go to your room and sleep.”

Han Qiao carried Ah-Yao back to the room, and Zeng Qin’er immediately brought water over.

Ah-Yao washed his face, wiped his hands, and washed his feet. He took off his cotton jacket and trousers and slept in the warm blanket.

The heated brick bed was warm. Although there was still a smell in the room, it would be much better when Han Qiao opened the windows for ventilation.

“Sleep.”

“Hmm.”

A clean and warm blanket, a familiar fragrance, and the big tiger plushie that his sister had made for him.

Soon, he fell into a deep sleep.

A carefree child who didn’t have to worry about food and clothing. His parents loved him, and his brothers and sisters loved him. Even if he changed his living environment, he could quickly adapt.

Han Qiao let Zeng Qin’er sleep.

“Mother, should I sleep in this room tonight?” Zeng Qin’er asked softly.

When Han Qiao heard this, she knew that the little girl didn’t want to sleep in this room tonight.

A young girl in her teens was sensible and knew her boundaries.

“I’ll ask granny later. Will you be willing to sleep in the same room with Granny Gu first?”

“Yes.”

Zeng Qin’er nodded..
