Chapter 853 - 840: Testing (Two - s Combined) Part 2
After daybreak, the snowflakes became smaller, but Little Snow was still floating in the wind.
It’s uncertain when this snow would stop.
Xiao Jihan somehow brought in some soil and was busy using it with grass stalks to build a kang in the adjoining room.
In the cold weather, he was wearing a snow-white Beast Skin Clothes, busy in the wind and snow. His long snow-colored hair blended almost completely with the wind and snow, carrying a cold and ethereal aura, which contrasted sharply with the task at hand.
Da Bao sat on the threshold of the stove room, watching Xiao’s father busy at work. He wanted to help, but Xiao’s father wouldn’t allow it.
He could only occasionally add some firewood to the stove to ensure the food in the pot stayed hot.
Upon hearing some noise, Da Bao hurried over, "Mother, you’re awake."
"Mm, I’m awake. Why did you get up so early?"
She felt it was just dawning.
"I must have slept too deeply."
When they woke up, did she really not hear any noise?
Unbeknownst to her, when Xiao Jihan and Da Bao woke up, they were afraid to disturb her, so their movements were especially quiet.
Additionally, Su Muyao was also exhausted and slept very soundly when relaxed.
Perhaps the howling north wind was particularly hypnotic.
Xiao Jihan quickly approached Su Muyao, picking up the Beast Skin cloak from the rack inside the house and draping it over Su Muyao, "It’s cold outside, be careful not to catch a cold."
"Hungry? Let’s have breakfast first."
Xiao Jihan had already prepared breakfast, keeping it warm in the pot.
"Oh, is the soy milk still warm?"
As soon as the pot lid was opened, Su Muyao smelled the fragrance of soy.
She felt she hadn’t had soy milk in a long time.
Da Bao said, "Xiao’s father got up before dawn to grind and cook soybeans."
"And here are the bean skins scooped out, Xiao’s father said they can be fried and eaten."
The methods for these things were learned by Xiao Jihan from Su Muyao earlier.
Knowing she loved soy milk, he had it prepared early in the morning.
Su Muyao looked at Xiao Jihan with some emotion, "Jihan, you’re really wonderful."
He always silently remembered many things, silently did things, not good at talking.
Just like his previous personality.
But she knew his kindness.
She directly hugged Xiao Jihan’s waist from behind, holding him tightly.
Xiao Jihan was about to open the pot to get breakfast; being hugged like this by his wife softened his heart. He lightly patted her hand with one hand, soothingly saying, "I’ll get breakfast first."
With her like this, he couldn’t move.
More worried that with too much movement, he might pull her.
Su Muyao deeply breathed in the pleasant and clean scent on Xiao Jihan, feeling fond of it.
Unbeknownst to her, when she urgently hugged Xiao Jihan from behind like this, the soft sensation pressed against Xiao Jihan’s back.
Xiao Jihan felt it particularly clearly through the Beast Skin, his other hand almost failing to hold things steadily.
"Wife, eat breakfast first, okay? After breakfast, you can hug however you want."
Xiao Jihan turned slightly, gazing down at Su Muyao, with a pampering look in his eyes.
His voice was slightly dim.
Last night, holding his wife to sleep was also a sweet torment.
But with her pregnant, Xiao Jihan naturally wouldn’t let her suffer. He just wanted her to rest well.
Listening to Xiao Jihan’s gentle, doting voice, Su Muyao released Xiao Jihan slightly.
By now, Da Bao had already run off somewhere.
Xiao Jihan lowered his head to gently kiss Su Muyao’s forehead, with love in his eyes.
If it wasn’t breakfast time, he really wanted to embrace her deep in his heart.
When Xiao Jihan placed breakfast on the table, he started calling for Da Bao, "Da Bao, it’s time to eat."
"Coming."
Da Bao, very perceptive, saw his parents sharing tender moments and hurriedly ran away.
Breakfast was cornbread pancakes made by Xiao Jihan, filled with vegetables and meat, and balls made from tofu residue.
Along with the soy milk, it was very delicious.
In such a primitive and backward environment, Su Muyao felt quite satisfied to eat such food.
Moreover, Xiao Jihan’s cooking skills were really improving over time.
"Does it taste good?"
Su Muyao’s eyes sparkled brightly, "Mm, it’s delicious."
Seeing Su Muyao enjoying the meal, Xiao Jihan’s brows and eyes softened.
Da Bao nodded while eating, "Xiao’s father, mother, this soy milk is so delicious."
He had never drunk such fragrant soy milk before.
He still remembered the infant formula from his childhood, totally different in taste from formula.
Actually, he also missed those days living in the Fox Clan as a child.
"It’s good, we’ll grind more. There are still quite a few soybeans at home."
Xiao Jihan also felt a bit guilty, always feeling he hadn’t taken good enough care of Da Bao.
Not allowing him to eat better food.
