Reborn as an Ugly Wife in the Countryside

Because he wanted to roast hazelnuts, Yang Dong specifically went to town to buy several extra-large pots.

The yard of the Yang Family looked just like during those winter seatings, with a big tent set up.

The whole family worked together to build a makeshift cooking platform.

Even though it was the coldest time of winter and snowing heavily, the yard of the Yang Family was warm and cozy due to the hazelnut roasting.

Seeing the setup, Xiaoxiao felt that if they didn’t sell at a higher price, it wouldn’t do justice to everyone’s effort, because it was really labor-intensive.

Previously, she and Yang Dong used the family cooking pot for their experiments, roasting just a few pounds at a time, and Yang Dong could do the stir-frying alone.

But now, using the extra-large pot, they needed to roast forty to fifty pounds at a time, which couldn’t be done by one person alone; it required three or four people to stir a pot, otherwise, it would fail.

It took about an hour to roast one pot, and after doing other tasks, one pot could be completed ten times a day.

With over ten thousand pounds of hazelnuts at home, even leaving some to provide food for the Yuelai Restaurant, roasting ten thousand pounds would take the whole family twenty days of work.

Working continuously for twenty days, their arms would collapse!

Ah, Xiaoxiao couldn’t help but sigh; modern technology is indeed good!

To save time and prevent arms from getting too tired.

They got five large pots and hired some people, some for stirring hazelnuts, some for chopping firewood!

This was how they saved time, finishing the hazelnut roasting in a few days, but everyone was really exhausted.

The task was finally done, just waiting for Yang Dong to rent a shop after the New Year, and whatever Yang Dong wanted to sell would be after the New Year because it’s almost New Year’s.

This year’s New Year was different from previous years; the old lady wanted everyone to go to their uncle’s house for the New Year.

This was the first New Year together since the Yang Family split.

The whole family was exuberant, starting their busy preparations in the morning; since it was New Year’s, the food was even more abundant than the last gathering, with a whole pig prepared, nearly like a full banquet.

After the New Year’s dinner, everyone gathered to make dumplings together, waiting to receive the God of Wealth in the evening, until midnight before returning home.

Yang Ming had a bit to drink at his uncle’s house and was still a bit tipsy, lying on the kang, playing with his wife’s small hand, "Wife."

"Yes?"

"This year, you’ve worked hard."

The sincerity of Yang Ming’s words was clear, for their family wouldn’t be as it was without his wife’s arrival.

His wife had contributed far too much, managing both big and small matters for the family.

Upon hearing this, Xiaoxiao turned around, looked at Yang Ming with a smile, and sweetly said, "Husband, you’ve worked hard too."

Throughout this year, Yang Ming hadn’t been idle; he supported whatever she wanted to do, providing not just moral support but also taking a lot of actions; he too worked hard.

"Wife!"

"Yes?"

"Happy New Year."

"Happy New Year."

"Wife!"

"Yes?"

"I love you."

"Yes, I do too."

"Wife!"

"Yes?"

"Shall we do something?"

"..."

The indoor temperature, unknowingly, kept rising because of Yang Ming’s injury; this was their first close bonding since Yang Ming returned.

The long-lost feeling made both seemingly lose themselves!

They took a full hour before stopping.

Recovering, Xiaoxiao immediately asked, "Honey, did the wound reopen?"

"Reopen? It’s been two months, and it’s healed long ago."

"Really?"

"Yes, really, quickly, go to sleep."

"Oh!"
