After marrying the hunter, he became more and more abnormal

Chapter 54: Lost 1 Moment

In the end, even though Liu Yu and Liu Yingying's gazes almost dug a hole in Xia Mo's back, they couldn't hear any words they wanted to hear from him.

After they had almost finished digging up all the shepherd's purse, Xia Mo parted ways with them and went back to their respective homes.

In the next two or three days, the weather began to behave like normal again. The rain came and went as planned. Fortunately, Xia Mo was at home that day, otherwise the bamboo shoots drying in the yard would have been wasted.

At the same time, under his careful care, the wheat grew tender yellow sprouts. Judging from the growth rate, it would be ready for harvest in two days.

Xia Mo first sprinkled some water on the malt, then walked under the eaves and looked up at the gray sky, especially above the hill not far away, where dark clouds were pressing down, and it seemed that a heavy rain would come soon.

Today is the fifth day since Ling Chuan left. He said he would be away for a few days, but how many days exactly? After all, any time within ten days is considered a few days, right?

Xia Mo lowered his eyelids as he thought about it.

When he raised his eyelids again, his gaze, filled with sorrow and longing, fell on the small puddles splashed by the raindrops.

Xia Mo pursed his lips, and suddenly he felt that Ling Chuan was really bad.

Why didn't you say it earlier or later, but just when he was about to leave? Wasn't he deliberately trying to keep him hanging?

Humph, he would just let him do what he wants. If he dares to lie to him or bring a little one back, he will kill it...

Xia Mo was lost in thought, and perhaps he had come up with some idea. Her little face suddenly felt hot and flushed, and even her crow-feather-like eyelashes trembled slightly.

"Cough cough." Xia Mo coughed twice, then looked towards the closed door again.

Alas, I don’t know if Lingchuan can come back within these two days. If not, he can only go to Sister Yingying’s house to pick sweet potatoes by himself. After all, it is not good for the malt to grow too long.

However, things are often like this. The more you think about it and the more you expect it, the more it goes against you.

That's right. Two days later, Ling Chuan still hadn't come back, which made Xia Mo a little disappointed. He patted his face and said to himself: "It's okay, it's only seven days. When he comes back, I can just eat maltose."

As Xia Mo spoke, he blinked and wiped away the depression in his eyes. Then he picked up two sacks and a wooden stick, planning to go to Liu Yingying's house to carry back the sweet potatoes and tell them that they could start making malt sugar tomorrow.

When Xia Mo arrived at Liu Yingying's house, he found her door was open, so he walked straight in.

But when he walked into the yard, he saw no one, so he looked inside and said, "Aunt, Sister Yingying, the wheat has grown, I'm here to get the sweet potatoes."

"Brother Ze, you're here? Just come in." Hearing the voice, Liu Yingying trotted out.

Xia Mo smiled and said, "Sister Yingying, the malt has grown well. I'm here to carry the sweet potatoes. You and Yu Ge'er can come to my house tomorrow morning. It's a bit late today."

"Okay, I'll tell Yu Ge'er, the sweet potatoes have been picked, we just need to pack them..."

Liu Yingying paused as she was talking. It turned out that she just noticed that Xia Mo was the only one there, so she asked, "Brother Ze, where is Brother Ling?"

Xia Mo scratched his head and smiled, "Brother Ling hasn't come back yet... It's okay, I can share the burden in two installments."

When Liu Yingying heard this, her eyebrows raised and she glared at Xia Mo.

"What are you talking about? I'll be free later, I'll help you carry half of it, so you don't have to run back and forth."

"No need to be so..." Before Xia Mo could even utter the word "trouble", he was interrupted by Liu Yingying.

"Are you still going to call me sister?" Liu Yingying raised her eyebrows.

"Scream..."

"That's it." Liu Yingying waved at him with a smile, "Hurry up, the weather is bad today. If you dawdle, it will be troublesome if it rains halfway through the journey."

"Okay then, thank you Sister Yingying." Xia Mo thanked.

But he still felt a little embarrassed. After all, he rejected the other person's kindness at the beginning, but in the end he needed the other person's help... It was a bit embarrassing.

However, with Liu Yingying's help, Xia Mo didn't have to make another trip.

Liu Yingying came and left in a hurry. Before leaving, Xia Mo said to her again: "Sister Yingying, you and Yu Ge'er remember to come over tomorrow."

Liu Yingying smiled and said, "Don't worry, we will definitely come."

"That's good." Xia Mo nodded with a smile.

...the next day.

When the morning light was dim, Liu Yingying and Liu Yu came to the door. Xia Mo yawned and looked at the two people in front of him, and said vaguely: "You two are here too early."

Seeing this, Liu Yingying and Liu Yu smiled at Xia Mo with a little embarrassment.

"There's no other way. We're too excited. Brother Ze, are you still sleepy? How about you tell us what to do first, and then go to sleep for a while?" Liu Yu suggested, rolling his eyes.

Xia Mo chuckled when he heard that. There was nothing he could do since his friends were just too funny.

"No, let's do it together. Hmm... First, pull out the malt and wash it clean. Also, peel the sweet potatoes... Then chop them up... Add some water to the malt to make juice, and after the sweet potatoes are chopped, add water and boil them all... Then put them together to ferment for more than two hours... After filtering the residue, start to boil the juice until it is thick..."

Xia Mo talked a lot and soon he had explained the steps of making malt sugar. In fact, it is not difficult at all. The difficult part is the patience.

"Okay, let's start!" Liu Yu rolled up his sleeves and said.

The three of them worked until the afternoon and finally made the malt sugar. They excitedly took a chopstick to taste some, and their eyes lit up immediately.

"Ah! How sweet!"

"Ze brother, you are so awesome. You actually made it. It's so delicious!" Liu Yu's face turned red with excitement.

"Yeah, it's really amazing." Liu Yingying also smiled very happily.

"It's not that I'm good, it's that we are all good. We did this together." Xia Mo also smiled, but he said it very seriously.

Liu Yingying and Liu Yu looked at each other, then looked at Xia Mo, and nodded heavily, "Ze Ge'er is right!"

"Pfft...hahaha!"

As they ate the fragrant and sweet malt sugar, the three of them instantly burst into laughter again.

Hard and happy times always pass quickly. Before Liu Yingying and Liu Yu left, Xia Mo took a bowl and gave each of them a full bowl, which scared Liu Yingying and Liu Yu a little on the spot.

"Ze brother, there's really no need. You have taught us all the skills." Liu Yingying frowned.

Liu Yu also nodded solemnly, "Yes, Ze'er, you should keep it for yourself. I will make it myself when I get home. It's just right to try it out."

"Just take it. I have more at home. If you don't want to eat it, I'll give it to your uncles and aunts." Xia Mo said as he stuffed the bowl into their hands.

"Hold it tight, it will be a waste if you drop it."

Xia Mo let go as soon as he gave it to her, forcing Liu Yingying and Liu Yu to hold on tight.

Well, there’s really nothing we can do about Ze Ge’er, but they will remember this friendship.

After Liu Yingying and Liu Yu thanked Xia Mo again and again, they took the malt sugar and walked briskly towards home.
