Happy Eid Al-Fitr, everyone!!! Minal aidin wal faidzin ππ»ππ»ππ»
Urhan had no doubt that in the eyes of these children, his Yanshi had more prestige than him.
Of course, he was very happy that the tribe people liked his Yanshi, and he was even more happy that his Yanshi was willing to get close to his tribe people.
But now that the sun had set, the remaining time should be a chance for the two of them to be alone. Why didn’t this little brat let go of their hands?
It was a pity that the things that made him unhappy were not over yet.
Ever since Jiang Rui said that pumpkin flowers could be eaten, these children had been immersed in strange excitement. After Jiang Rui finished teaching them the knowledge about the fields, a group of people couldn’t wait to surround their Yanshi to prepare some delicious food.
It was not that the children didn’t notice a big man like Urhan who was standing outside the fence, but the Great Khan was always casual, so they sparsely shouted to the Great Khan a few times before dragging Yanshi away.
The contacts these days had made the children get closer to Jiang Rui and even more presumptuous. She only had time to nod to Urhan before being swept away, leaving Urhan standing in a daze.
There were many ways to make pumpkin flowers. Jiang Rui asked the chef to make the fried pumpkin flowers that were most popular among children. The flour used was bought by Qiuhua when the caravan came a while ago, and the eggs were wild bird eggs picked up by children and given to her as if they were treasures.
The chef mixed the batter, put the processed pumpkin flowers in it, coated it with a layer of flour, and fried it in mutton oil until golden brown. The freshly baked pumpkin flowers were crispy and fragrant. Because the portion was not large, each person was only given two pieces.
The children cautiously took a bite and were startled by the unusually crispy texture, but they soon became fascinated by it.
Everyone made a clicking sound when biting, and they even competed with each other to make louder sounds. They deliberately pressed their teeth together in an effort to make the loudest noise. When they found that their ears were filled with such sounds, one child suddenly started laughing and the others followed to laugh with him.
On every face, there was pure joy and contentment.
Jiang Rui looked at them with a smile on her lips.
In the beginning, the most fundamental purpose of her giving them seeds was to prevent the Di tribe from robbing food from Jokhang and to ensure peace on the border between the two countries. However, it was hard not to like this group of innocent and enthusiastic children.
She was willing to take them together to create better living conditions.
“It would be great if I could eat pumpkin flowers every day.” Aruna muttered to herself in a low voice. Her voice was so soft that no one except Jiang Rui heard her.
The wish to eat pumpkin flowers every day was so simple as to be childish, but for these children, it was something that was out of reach.
But not anymore. Jiang Rui said in her heart.
After the children reluctantly left, Urhan came back. The two of them sat together and enjoyed a slightly late dinner.
“Those kids’ courses are too easy. We should add some content to them so that they don’t always have a lot of time to do nothing.” Urhan suddenly said something to Jiang Rui and gave Jiang Rui sliced ββmeat.
Ever since he appeared at night, he seemed a little weird. Jiang Rui noticed that it seemed to be his Urhan-style awkwardness. She went through all the things that had happened before in her mind, and she could guess the reasons.
She couldn’t help but ask: “Urhan, how old are you?”
Urhan paused his hands for a moment, glanced at her, and said vaguely: “A little over twenty. What’s wrong?”
He had learned that his Yanshi had just celebrated her sixteenth birthday when she married him. To be honest, he was a little shocked and a little guilty at the time.
In a group of wolves, the ages of the alpha wolf and his wife were generally not too different so that they could raise wolf cubs when they were both still strong.
But he was eight years older than his Yanshi. Now Yanshi suddenly asked him, did she think that he was too old?
Jiang Rui was speechless.
She just wanted to tell him, how dare such a grown man be jealous of a child? Who really asked him how old he was?
