C4 Outbreak

Breakfast was a pot of porridge with baked cakes, brushed with soy sauce, and some lettuce leaves placed in the middle. It tasted a bit like a modern mixed grain pancake.

Luckily, Lee Xia thought, she was wearing it in ancient China. If she was wearing it abroad, she wouldn't be able to stand it. Chinese food is the only food that suits human appetite, whether in ancient times or modern times. Lee Xia took a bite of the porridge and sighed emotionally.

"Aunt Nuan, this cake is really delicious." Lee Xia flattered.

"After the meal, Ruan Dong will send her back. Then, he will ask for the betrothal gift back." Ruan's Mother didn't reply to her words …

"I'm not going back!" Lee Xia blurted out after hearing Ruan's Mother's words. After she finished laughing, she smiled. The original owner of this body had been killed by her family. She didn't want to go back.

"It's not up to you whether you go back or not." Ruan's Mother became angrier the more she thought about it.

"If your Li Family doesn't want this marriage, then just say so in advance. Our Ruan Family isn't a person that can't wait to be let go." Ruan's Mother put down her chopsticks and stood up as well.

"But you guys … you want to play cat and mouse with me in exchange for a crown prince. You want people and the betrothal gift are both yours, but there isn't such a good thing in the world."

"Look at your appearance, is there anything that is compatible with my son!?"

"Auntie, I don't have any survivors after I return home. Just treat it as saving me. I can cook, I can work, I can get anything. " Now Lee Xia felt that Oskar owed her a little man of gold,

"Big Brother Ruan, can you not send me back? I don't eat enough, I do more, and I can still earn money." "You won't lose anything." Lee Xia looked at Ruan Dong again.

"Son, don't listen to her. That betrothal gift isn't a small number. It would be a waste to support her with it."

"Mom, forget it. Let her stay, it's the perfect time to be together with Snowy." Ruan Dong said as he looked at Lee Xia's face, which looked like a kitten.

"But …" Ruan's Mother wanted to say something, but Ruan Dong rarely had any opinions. Usually, when he made a decision, it would be difficult for him to change it. Ruan's Mother just felt that she had let down her eldest son.

In order to support this family, they went hunting in the mountains with the adults at the age of twelve. When people came out of the mountains, they would hunt either goats or rabbits, and even the weakest of them would hunt a chicken. And Ruan Dong would always come back with wounds all over his body.

Every time Zhang Fengmei looked at the wounds on Ruan Dong's delicate hands that should have been holding a pen pole, she would cry until she couldn't breathe. Ruan Dong would comfort her with an experienced look: "Mother, I don't feel any pain at all, I really don't feel any pain at all. I'm slowly mastering the art of hunting."

After several more times, Ruan Dong finally shot the first rabbit in his life. Up until now, he had become the best hunter in the village. Ruan Dong used these hands to raise his younger brother and sister, and even sent his younger brother to a county school.

Ruan's Mother felt that her son was worthy of the best woman in the world. She felt that letting Lee Xia and Ruan Dong be together was too unfair for her son.

However, since Ruan Dong had accepted Lee Xia, Ruan's Mother could only treat Lee Xia as her first wife.

"Although you and Ruan Dong didn't pay your respects yesterday, since Ruan Dong has already accepted you, then you are my Ruan Family's first wife. Just call me mother from now on."

Zhang Mei Feng said reluctantly.

"You have to know, Ruan Dong wanted you to stay. You have to take good care of Ruan Dong. "If I find out that you've let Ruan Dong down in any way, I won't let you off."

"Alright, I understand." In any case, she wouldn't stay here for the rest of her life, so she agreed.

That night, Ruan's Mother asked Lee Xia to move into Ruan Dong's room, even though Lee Xia told herself that as long as she could stay, she would be fine. But to sleep in the same bed with a man was still a little challenging for a single girl, even though Ruan Dong was a good-looking person.

Fortunately, Ruan Dong said to Lee Xia, "Don't worry, I won't touch you. Go to sleep."

Lee Xia still trusted Ruan Dong quite a bit. Hearing this, he felt relieved. After all, this body hadn't fully developed yet.

He took off his jacket and slept under the covers in his undershirt.

The next morning, Ruan Dong felt something pressing down on his body and was forcibly awakened by it.

Lee Xia laid on Ruan Dong's body like an octopus with her hands and feet. When she opened the blanket and looked at Ruan Dong's flushed face, which was pressed against his chest, Ruan Dong was amused by her appearance.

Ruan Dong looked at the sky and felt that he could get up now. Gingerly, he removed Lee Xia's hands and feet from his body.

Then she covered him with the blanket.

When Ruan Dong left, Lee Xia opened her eyes.

Actually, Lee Xia woke up when Ruan Dong woke up. When she found herself in an awkward sleeping position, she was about to let go when Ruan Dong woke up. Lee Xia had no choice but to pretend to be asleep, otherwise it would be too embarrassing.

When Lee Xia packed up and left, she found that Ruan's Mother was collecting eggs in the chicken coop, but she didn't find Ruan Dong.

After asking Ruan's Mother, she found out that Ruan Dong had already gone hunting in the mountains.

After Lee Xia had washed up, she began to prepare breakfast.

Lee Xia discovered that there wasn't a lot of seasoning here. It was as if the smell of ginger and octagonal was removed … None of these were found in the Ruan Family. They did have salt, but it was expensive. They didn't buy much at home, and they didn't put much in the dishes. Oil is rapeseed oil and lard.

Because Ruan Family often had some wild game, they could take out the fat meat and boil it with oil. There was no lack of animal oil at all. However, rapeseed oil was scarce, so it was expensive.

The day they arrived, they were really too hungry, which was why they ate so much.

When he came back to his senses, he felt that the dishes were really hard to swallow.

In Lee Xia's past twenty years, she had been a delicate girl with ten fingers covered in Yang Water. However, women were born with a talent for cooking, so she figured out how to make a fire herself.

He cooked a pot of porridge and found some sweet potatoes in the house. Lee Xia didn't know how to make biscuits now. Seeing that Zhang Meifeng was picking the eggs this morning, Lee Xia decided to go and get a few eggs to boil a few white eggs.

Just as breakfast was prepared, Ruan's Mother came back from outside.

Looking at the porridge in the pot, his expression suddenly changed.

"How can one place so many meters into the porridge when it's cooked? Put less rice and more water. If you don't cook, you won't know how expensive oil and salt are. "You should learn to live your life now. There are only a few people in your family, and they can't grow even a few acres of land. If you continue to waste your life like this, your days will not be over."

When she saw the boiled egg, Ruan's Mother's anger peaked.

"Who asked you to cook your eggs? How can you be so greedy? So many eggs can be exchanged for six cents at the market." "You prodigal woman!"

With that, he pulled Lee Xia up and dragged her out, "What are you doing? Let go of me." Lee Xia struggled, but she was too thin to resist.

"No, I still have to return you. If you continue living like this, sooner or later, your family will be ruined." With that, he forcefully took her out of the cave, ignoring Lee Xia's resistance.

The mud man still had a bit of temper, not to mention Lee Xia was not a mud man.

However, it was one thing for the conditions to be poor here. They had to suffer some mental trauma, and at this moment, they exploded as well.

"If you want to leave, then leave. I don't need you to pull me. Do you think I really want to stay here?"

With that, she shook off Ruan's Mother's hand and ran out.
