Ji Yang raised his eyebrows, turned around and closed the door again, walked over and put down the bamboo basket.

"Where have you been?" Ye Jiao didn't yell loudly, but her tone was a bit bad, so her hopes for him were shattered, and she was really helpless.

"Going to the mountains." Ji Yang took out the wild vegetables from the bamboo basket. Ye Jiao watched his movements and slowly stood up.

To her, it was lucky that he didn't just eat and sleep around.

It's not easy to find food, but it's not easy to dig wild vegetables.

"There is a creek over there in the mountains, and I caught a fish." Ji Yang took out another grass carp tied with a rope from the bamboo basket, which was still alive and kicking.

Ye Jiao's pupils shrank suddenly.

You know, in this period, eating a piece of pork during the Chinese New Year is a luxury. It would be nice to have some lard for cooking, but forget about chicken.

The fish he caught probably weighed a pound and a half, right?

"What should I do if I get caught?" Ye Jiao was happy and worried at the same time. You must know that capitalism is not allowed now, and every plant and tree belongs to the state.

"If you catch it, just criticize it. We are all going to starve to death. Do you still care about face?" Ji Yang shrugged and said nonchalantly, "If you catch it, just say it was me who went fishing. It has nothing to do with you. , I even dug out a honeycomb today.”

Ye Jiao didn't think it was serious at first. They were indeed going to starve to death. To criticize them, they just led them to the team and shouted with a loudspeaker to make others a warning.

But when she looked at the pile of beehives, her legs went weak.

"Would you like to try it? It's sweeter than sugar." Ji Yang had already washed his hands, broke off a small piece and put it in her mouth.

"Who asked you to go!" Ye Jiao gritted her teeth and immediately became anxious. She stepped forward to hit him with her fist, but when it fell on him, she held it back. Her neck was red with anger and her eyes widened.

If a person digs out a honeycomb, he will die.

"Is there any sting somewhere?" She checked eagerly and held his hand, her whole body trembling.

Ji Yang was not bad to her, he was still the light in her darkness. When she learned that her father had passed away, she would often hide behind the big tree at the entrance of the East Village and cry, and he would come to make her laugh.

"Are you okay?" She said, her voice choked with tears. If something happened to him, she would be alone.

Ji Yang stared at her with deep eyes, and after a while, a low voice sounded, "It's okay, I didn't get stung."

After saying that, he pretended to be relaxed and said, "No, when I was a child, I liked to dig out hornet's nests and hide away faster than anything else."

Ye Jiao suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and slowly recovered her emotions. She looked at the thoughts in his eyes and said, "Don't do such a dangerous thing next time. We will work hard and we will always be able to support ourselves."

She felt that he might have been shocked and was anxious to contribute to the family.

Ji Yang smiled, stuffed a small piece of honeycomb flowing with honey into her mouth, and changed the subject, "Is it sweet?"

Ye Jiao instinctively closed her mouth. The sweetness in her mouth stimulated her taste buds and was still very thick. Her heart also flowed with sweetness and felt much warmer.

In the past, when her father was a teacher, there would be sugar at home, and she could eat it twice occasionally.

But white sugar cannot be compared with wild honey. Honey is a rare thing and most people don’t eat it.

"It's getting dark, let's make fish soup for dinner." Ji Yang turned and walked aside and put the fish into the basin.

"I'll do it." Ye Jiao quickly recovered and walked to the kitchen. She knew that Ji Yang couldn't cook, so she continued, "I'll cook the rice."

Before she finished, she felt troubled when she looked at the remaining two handfuls of rice. Ji Yang also wanted to eat. How could he work tomorrow if he didn't have enough to eat?

"It's all cooked. I'll go to town tomorrow and buy some more." He was handling his honey and looked at her and said.

"Okay, tomorrow you take the bamboo basket and exchange it for some food, and I'll make some more." Ye Jiao felt that she should give him a good meal.

"Yeah." Ji Yang responded.

Under the dark sky, the couple was busy doing their own thing, and the weak lights and firelight illuminated the small yard.

Ji Yang is boiling water and Ye Jiao is killing fish.

Today she also used a little oil to fry the fish until both sides were golden brown, and then added water to cook the soup. The soup quickly turned milky white.

This is what Ye Mu taught her.

While the soup was cooking, Ji Yang went out again with an iron bucket and a pole. He went to fetch water, and went back and forth, picking up a full tank.

"It's time to eat." She took a sip of the soup, added some salt to it, stuck her head out and called Ji Yang.

"Here it comes." Ji Yang added some more straw to the small stove, stood up, clapped his hands, and walked to the kitchen.

The couple gathered around the small pot with a cold wild vegetable next to it. Ye Jiao gave him a bowl of dry rice and ate the porridge herself.

Zhang Yan once said that she was so weak that she would have to eat less if she didn't work anyway.

"So full? How can you mix rice with soup?" Ji Yang said as he poured half of the bowl into her bowl, picked up a spoon and poured two spoonfuls of soup into his own rice.

The milky white fish soup is very fresh and sweet.

Ye Jiao looked at her bowl, then looked sideways at him, and saw that this person had already eaten, and put a piece of meat into her bowl, and said seriously, "Eat quickly, in case someone smells it." "

Hearing this, she wanted to laugh for no reason.

This is an old house, with overgrown weeds behind the low fence. On the left is an abandoned house, and the house is abandoned. The right is a bit far away from them, and there are very few people. To be honest, no one can smell it.

He ate so well that she couldn't help but be affected. The fish in her mouth was so delicious, even better than the bit of pork they ate when they got married.

After eating, Ji Yang had mixed some warm water and went to take a shower. After coming out, Ye Jiao also cleaned up and was scooping hot water into the bath bucket. She looked up and saw him and asked, "You can help me carry it to the room later." Is it okay?"

"Can."

Ye Jiao finally realized the benefits of having a man at home. Although he was thin, he was much stronger than her.

*

The next day.

Ji Yang got up before dawn. Ye Jiao was still sleeping. She opened her eyes drowsily and saw that he was already getting dressed.
