Day and night, the two brothers grumbled while working, but Zhu Yuanyuan didn't care. It wasn't a dangerous job, so she just let the boys do what they wanted. She had a lot of other things to do.

"Yuanyuan," Grandpa Zhu said as he stood at the door of the kitchen, carrying a small bamboo basket, "I have picked out the snacks. Let's go back now."

"That's all you have?" Zhu Yuanyuan quickly stepped forward and grabbed the basket, "I'll fill it up for you."

"No, no, I'll come back for it after I finish eating," said Grandpa Zhu.

Zhu Yuanyuan thought about it and nodded, "That's fine, after all, Grandpa is familiar with my family."

She felt that she was thinking too simply. She shouldn't worry that her grandfather was being polite and not taking more. Instead, she should worry that the snacks in the cellar would be taken away in two days.

It’s not that I’m reluctant to give it to my elders, but I’m afraid that grandpa will get a sore throat if he eats without restraint.

Not long after Grandpa Zhu left, Bai Shi finally came back, covered in dust and carrying a mutant sheep.

"Did you go out with the hunting team today?" Zhu Yuanyuan asked worriedly, "Are you injured?"

"It's okay," Bai Shi shook his head, "It's just catching a mutant sheep, how could it get hurt?"

Zhu Yuanyuan heaved a sigh of relief when she heard this. "Then how did you do this?"

"I found a strange cave and went in to take a look," Bai Shi replied.

"What do you mean?" Zhu Yuanyuan asked curiously.

"The entrance to the cave is very small, only a human figure can enter, and it is covered with vines," Bai Shi described with a smile, "When you walk into the cave, it is as bright as daytime, and you don't feel hot inside, it's very cool."

"What a great place," Zhu Yuanyuan said with a surprised look on her face, "We can go there to escape the heat when it's too hot in the summer."

As soon as he finished speaking, he thought of something else, "Is there any danger in the cave? Is it close to the tribe?"

I don’t know whether such a good place was formed naturally or man-made. If it is the former, it’s fine and they can just use it directly after discovering it. If it is the latter, they have to be careful.

"It must have been dug out by humans," Bai Shi answered without hesitation, "There are traces of excavation, and the light is because there is a row of beads inlaid on each side of the cave."

"Wow, it must be a Night Pearl," Zhu Yuanyuan exclaimed, "What a grand piece of work."

Bai Shi chuckled, "Like it?"

"Yeah," Zhu Yuanyuan nodded vigorously, "This is much more useful than the light stone. You don't even need to take it out to bask in the sun to charge it."

Bai Shi immediately said, "I will go and dig up all the beads tomorrow."

"This is not good~" Zhu Yuanyuan was a little entangled, "Since it is a man-made cave, it means it has an owner."

"It's okay. No one has been in the cave for a long time," Bai Shi comforted him. "I'm afraid the original owner is gone."

"Are you sure?" Zhu Yuanyuan asked.

"Yes," Bai Shi said without hesitation, "There is a stone bed at the innermost part of the cave, and on it lies a complete set of human bones. I brought him out and dug a hole to bury him."

Zhu Yuanyuan suddenly realized, "No wonder you are so dirty. Let's talk about this later. Hurry up and let the mutant sheep take a bath. After it's done, you can have dinner."

She planned to stir-fry potato slices with beef and some cabbage, and add the spicy pork trotters brought by the master and the three-cup chicken, steamed pork with rice flour, boiled fish, and steamed egg with minced meat that she secretly took out from the space. The dinner would be very rich.

After washing the potatoes, the two kids sat by the stove and lit the fire. After a few minutes, they ran away because they felt too hot. Naturally, they didn't know that their mother had cheated. They looked at the table full of dishes and cried, "There are so many~"

It's not the quantity that's large, but the variety.

Zhu Yuanyuan and Bai Shi are busy on weekdays, so when they get home they always cook two simple and rough dishes, occasionally adding a soup and a certain amount of staple food. They can fill you up, but there is not much choice. The food is only better during the snow season.

The two kids were so happy that they urged anxiously, "Dad and Mom, please come to the table and eat. We are all hungry."

Zhu Yuanyuan brought today's staple food, the big white steamed buns, to the table. "Dad will be ready soon. We'll wait a little longer."

When Bai Shi came down from the second floor to dry clothes, he saw his wife and children sitting around the table waiting for him. He couldn't help but say, "You can eat first, you don't have to wait for me."

"It's not urgent, and there's no need to go out," Zhu Yuanyuan said with a smile, "It's better for the family to be together."

The Riye brothers didn't quite understand what he said, but they nodded in agreement, "Aniang is right, Qiqi."

Bai Shi laughed, walked over to the table and rubbed the two cubs' heads respectively, "Xiao Ri and Xiao Ye are so good."

The day and night brothers looked at their father's big hands with burning eyes, "Mom is also very good."

"Oh~" Bai Shi followed suit and reached out to rub Banban's head, "Yuanyuan was great today too!"

Zhu Yuanyuan, “!!!” She is not a little cub, she does not need to be killed by patting her head.

Thinking so, she did not push away the big hand that was messing with her head, but just rolled her eyes at someone.

After dinner, Zhu Yuanyuan washed the two kids, while Bai Shi went to clean the kitchen. Only after putting Xiaori and Xiaoye to sleep could the couple sit down and continue talking.

"Alas, the cubs are so difficult to deal with," Zhu Yuanyuan said with a worried look on his face, "I really hope they grow up quickly."

Bai Shi smiled and comforted, "Don't worry, just wait until they are ten years old."

When they are ten years old, they are considered half-grown cubs and can dress and eat by themselves, and can also help with housework.

The prerequisite is to start teaching the two kids to do housework from now on.

"That will take another five years," Zhu Yuanyuan blinked her big eyes, "I suddenly feel like time is passing so slowly."

Bai Shi was speechless. He had no other choice. The cub was not a cabbage that could grow up in a few months. He could only change the subject abruptly, "Do you want to go to that cave and take a look?"

"Yes," Zhu Yuanyuan nodded excitedly, "I really want to!"

There are so many night-shining pearls and a cave where you can escape the summer heat. Only a fool wouldn’t want to go there.

"I don't have anything important to do tomorrow, so I'll take you there," Bai Shi said. "That cave is a little unusual."

Zhu Yuanyuan became more interested, "Does anyone else know?"

"No," Bai Shi was very sure, "I walked quite far away, and there was no one else around me."

"That's good," Zhu Yuanyuan grinned, "What if someone finds out and comes to rob the cave?"

Bai Shi coughed lightly and said, "Everyone is very busy and probably doesn't have time to go there."

"This is not a joke. Think about it, during the hottest time last summer, the two cubs couldn't sleep because of the heat. Even if they fell asleep, they were not restful. They would have felt better only if they were secretly sent to the space," Zhu Yuanyuan said helplessly.

Bai Ri understood immediately, "You want to take them to live in the cave at night?"

"Yes," Zhu Yuanyuan did not deny, "Xiao Ri is already five years old and is becoming more and more difficult to appease. If this continues, he will be exposed sooner or later."

Xiaoye's brain isn't as quick as his brother's. He can get away with being greedy and sleepy, but Xiaori is different. He will definitely realize something is wrong when he wakes up in the middle of the night. If there is a good place to escape the heat at night, the problem will be solved.

"Yuanyuan is right," Bai Shi said immediately, "Let's go and see if it's suitable tomorrow. If it is, I will find time to tidy up the cave."

For example, make a few bamboo beds and wooden tables and put them inside, as well as put a few water tanks, make a simple stove, and so on.

The most important thing is to give the cave a solid stone door.
