[QTC] MBDT Chapter 75

Especially the way he looked at her with his wet and sparkling black eyes. It was so cute that Bei Yutang picked up Xiao Zimo, gave him a smack, and kissed him hard on his tender face.

The boy was stunned for a moment and his little ears turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Oops, the little boy is shy.

Bei Yutang could not help but smile.

After cleaning Xiao Zimo, Bei Yutang began to take care of her body. Speaking of which, she is almost as dirty as the boy.

Bei Yutang used two buckets of water before washing away the strange smell.

When the two of them sorted out, the sun also set. It wasn’t until the stomachs of the two of them grumbled that Bei Yutang remembered that it was time to make dinner.

Bei Yutang tragically discovered that there was no rice in the rice jar, not even the bran rice.

Before she left, she ate all the white noodles.

“Mo’er, what did you eat during the two days when Mother was unconscious?” Bei Yutang could not help but ask.

Xiao Zimo took a handful of tender wild vegetables, like young leaves and seedlings, from a small pot and said, “Eat this.”

“Isn’t that just a little bit?” This amount was not enough for the two of them.

“I’ll go pick it up again.”

“Let’s go together.”

Two hours later, they arrived at the field ridge at the foot of the mountain. There were a lot of wild vegetables growing on the edge of the field ridge. The two picked a lot and waited until the sun went down before returning home.

Bei Yutang looked at the pot and did not know how to start for a while.

Xiao Zimo saw Bei Yutang’s embarrassment, wisely stepped forward, rolled up his sleeves, and began to wash and cut vegetables. After the water boiled, he threw the wild vegetables into it.

Bei Yutang looked at it very carefully and the process was simple. She secretly made a note and prepared to do it herself tomorrow.

After the water boiled, Xiao Zimo filled a large bowl for Bei Yutang.

Bei Yutang saw that he did not serve it for himself, so she filled a big bowl for him and handed the bowl to him. Xiao Zimo looked at her in surprise and then carefully held the bowl.

Bei Yutang took a sip and a bitter taste instantly spread among her taste buds. Bei Yutang frowned slightly and swallowed the bitter vegetable soup in her mouth.

As soon as she turned her head, she saw Xiao Zimo drinking vegetable soup and eating with relish.

There was no salt, no oil, and no seasonings, only the bitter taste of wild vegetables, but he ate them sweetly.

Bei Yutang looked at his thin body and her heart was slightly touched.

Without conditions, there is no qualification for disdain.

Bei Yutang drank the bitter vegetable soup in silence and her taste buds got used to the bitterness little by little. After finishing the bowl of vegetable soup, she saw Xiao Zimo diligently putting away the bowls and chopsticks.

His movements were skillful and it looked like he was used to doing these things at a glance.

“I’ll do it.” Bei Yutang took the bowl and chopsticks from his hands.

Xiao Zimo stood dumbfounded and looked at her.

His mother actually took the initiative to wash the dishes.

In the evening, Bei Yutang laid out the sun-dried quilt and saw Xiao Zimo walking out with a ball of tattered quilts in his arms.

“Where are you going?”

“Woodshed.” Xiao Zimo said with his dark bright eyes.

Bei Yutang then remembered that the original owner, Mu Zhitao, had thrown him into a woodshed to sleep alone when he was two years old. The woodshed is ventilated at both ends, and in winter the cold wind blows directly.

Sometimes on rainy nights the roof leaks and the woodshed is simply a place where people can’t live. But this kind of place, since Xiao Zimo was two years old, was the place he slept.

Bei Yutang lifted a corner of the quilt and patted the bed, “Come here and sleep.”

Xiao Zimo looked at her in shock.
