Chapter 168 Just Bear With It
168 Just Bear With It
Chu Tianbao’s mouth was filled with juice as he ate the melon. Bai Wutong reached out a handkerchief to wipe the corner of his mouth. Cui Muzhi, who was eating melon at the side, suddenly felt that he was a little redundant.
Fortunately, Lan Jingbai came to find him.
He quickly said to Bai Wutong, “I’ve disturbed you for so long. I should go back.”
With a whoosh, he put down the watermelon skin and rushed towards Lan Jingbai. He hung onto his shoulder without any manners and said unhappily, “Why are you only here now?”
Lan Jingbai was used to it. “Sorry, I’m late.”
Cui Muzhi was quite satisfied with his att.i.tude. “Alright, I’ll forgive you.”
Bai Wutong stopped Cui Muzhi. “Muzhi, bring this to your sister.”
Cui Muzhi ran in front of Bai Wutong and received the fruits in the basket. He said embarra.s.sedly, “Haha, I almost forgot.”
When they walked out of Bai Wutong’s courtyard and were about to reach home, Lan Jingbai asked, “Did Young Master help Young Master Qi and the others ask about it?”
Cui Muzhi, who was in high spirits, suddenly stopped and slapped his forehead. He complained to Lan Jingbai in frustration, “Why did you remind me so late!”
Lan Jingbai said innocently, “I thought Young Master had already told Madam Bai after staying at her house for so long.”
Cui Muzhi was speechless. He glanced faintly at Lan Jingbai, stuffed the basket into his arms, and ran back.
There were quite a lot of yellow peaches. Bai Wutong was preparing to make some peach jars.
She and Chu Tianbao were peeling the skin when they saw Cui Muzhi running back while panting. They asked curiously, “What’s wrong? What happened?”
Cui Muzhi bent down to regain a few breaths before saying, “Ma’am, there’s a shortage of brewers. My friend wants to help.”
Bai Wutong thought that he had other urgent matters. “There’s a lot of wine to brew this time, so we can get them to help. Go to the record book on the table in front and write down so that I can distribute the work according to their abilities.”
Cui Muzhi said happily, “Thank you, Madam!” Then he imitated Village Chief Zhao and praised her exaggeratedly. “You are a living Bodhisattva!”
Bai Wutong gave him an amused look. “Thank you for the compliment.”
It was easy to make yellow peach jars, and the ingredients were simple. A clean and dry container, yellow peach, and rock sugar would do.
While Bai Wutong and Cui Muzhi were talking, she turned around and saw that the yellow peaches in the basket had all been peeled by Chu Tianbao.
Chu Tianbao placed his hands behind his back. Bai Wutong narrowed her eyes. “What are you hiding?”
Chu Tianbao couldn’t help but show off. When Bai Wutong asked, he immediately placed the things he had hidden in front of her.
Bai Wutong looked at him and immediately revealed a surprised expression.
A small yellow peach was carefully carved by Chu Tianbao into her beautiful smiling face. The inconspicuous yellow peach instantly became an exquisite piece of art.
Bai Wutong took it with both hands and said in disbelief, “Tianbao, you’re too awesome!”
She had never taught Chu Tianbao to sketch, but he had mastered it without being taught.
Furthermore, he had carved her into the peach.
It was so beautiful. How could she bear to eat it?
Bai Wutong planned to put it in the RV s.p.a.ce and admire it for the rest of her life.
Bai Wutong’s delighted gaze made Chu Tianbao very happy. He leaned over and tapped his thin lips, brazenly asking for a reward.
He was already very experienced. As long as he could make Bai Wutong happy, he could always succeed a few times.
Bai Wutong really liked this peach. She glanced at the courtyard door and said softly, “At night.”
This meant that Bai Wutong had agreed.
Chu Tianbao cheered, picked up Bai Wutong, and spun excitedly.
Bai Wutong felt dizzy from the spinning. She patted his shoulder and said angrily, “Put me down!”
Chu Tianbao put her down obediently and jumped up and down in the courtyard excitedly. Xiaobai was so frightened by him that it jumped up and howled at him a few times.
After their cores were removed, the dozen peeled yellow peaches were cut into pieces by circling them with a knife.
The sliced yellow peach was put into a pot. After it was weighed down, she added rock sugar and poured in water until it was just above the yellow peach. She closed the lid and boiled it over low heat for about 15 minutes. The yellow peach was soft and the can was basically ready.
The last step was just to carry the soup pot and put it aside to cool.
Chu Tianbao had always liked yellow peaches. The ones with rock sugar seemed to taste even better. The fragrant smell entered his nostrils with the steam.
Chu Tianbao looked at Bai Wutong eagerly, his face filled with desire to eat the fruits.
Bai Wutong shook her head. “It’s too hot now. Can you eat it when it’s cold?”
Chu Tianbao nodded obediently.
Bai Wutong went to prepare the ingredients for dinner. He stood guard and waited for the heat from the can of yellow peach to dissipate.
His behavior was exactly the same as Xiaobai’s.
After the peaches were cooled, Bai Wutong scooped a bowl for Chu Tianbao. The remaining pot was placed into a small ceramic jar and sealed tightly.
The sealed yellow peaches could be stored for about half a year. When the season of eating yellow peaches pa.s.sed, they could still eat delicious yellow peaches.
Bai Wutong could also make yellow peach cake from the canned fruits. Chu Tianbao loved sweet food and would definitely like it.
The yellow peach can had a different flavor. It was sweet and sour, and the soup was delicious.
After Chu Tianbao finished eating, he looked at Bai Wutong eagerly. “Wife, I still want to eat.”
He had eaten too many fruits that day. Bai Wutong shook her head. “It’s almost time to eat. It’s not good to eat too much. It will hurt your stomach. Can you eat another day?”
Chu Tianbao nodded manly. “Okay!” However, he kept stealing glances at the yellow peach jar on the top of the cabinet.
Bai Wutong was amused. “Tianbao isn’t thinking of stealing it, right?”
Chu Tianbao glanced guiltily at Bai Wutong. “No.”
...
Bai Wutong confirmed again, “Then why is the pork floss in the cabinet missing?”
Chu Tianbao avoided her gaze and stroked Xiaobai guiltily. “It was eaten by Xiaobai.”
Xiaobai: “I don’t know if I should say this. If you accuse a wolf, then so be it. Can you stop stroking me? If you continue, I will become bald.”
Bai Wutong smiled. Only Xiaobai didn’t know how to speak.
After dinner, Bai Wutong and Chu Tianbao were in the courtyard to digest their food.
It was dark, which meant it was night.
Bai Wutong was caught off guard by him as he surrounded her. Chu Tianbao’s face was enlarged in front of her.
Bai Wutong was stunned and quickly pushed him hard. “What are you doing?”
Chu Tianbao said impatiently, “Wife, it’s night.”
It was night time. But how could she do it in the courtyard?
Bai Wutong pushed him but did not push him away. His shadow covered her and she felt his hot breath. Bai Wutong panicked and quickly said, “Tianbao, let’s go in.”
...
Like a tree stump, she was led into the house by Chu Tianbao.
Before the door was even closed, Chu Tianbao pressed her against the wall and kissed her domineeringly.
In an instant, their breaths were intertwined.
Bai Wutong’s heart was pounding. Her gaze landed on Chu Tianbao’s affectionate eyes. She finally closed her eyes and let him fill her mouth.
After many practices, Chu Tianbao had already reached perfection.
After a while, Bai Wutong felt that her entire body was hot and she was severely lacking in oxygen. Chu Tianbao even bit her lip.
She gasped, “Tianbao, enough.”
Chu Tianbao grunted and hugged her tightly, as if the two of them were conjoined twins.
After a long while, Chu Tianbao’s m.u.f.fled voice sounded. “Wife, I feel uncomfortable.”
Bai Wutong sighed and wrapped her arms around his slender waist. She said helplessly, “Just endure it.”
Chu Tianbao hummed obediently. Bai Wutong turned her head and kissed his forehead, feeling a little upset.
If only she could find Wen Renhua quickly.
