After Transmigration, She Sold Herself to a Man as a Wife

Chapter 14

With many people working together, men and women pairing up makes the work less tiring. In less than two hours, the vegetable patch was completely turned over, ready for the seeds to be directly planted.

"Let's go, back home." The sun had already started to set, time to go back and make dinner.

Hearing the words "back home" come from Luo Ge's mouth, Gu Jinchen felt an indescribable warmth in his heart.

Seeing the silhouette of one adult and two children walking hand in hand ahead, the corners of his mouth raised high, a long-lost feeling of happiness surrounding him.

"Having a wife does indeed feel really good," he murmured.

No wonder that brat Li Qiao would always think about hurrying home whenever he was out travelling.

Previously, he was always making fun of him, but now, he would probably be the one on the receiving end.

...The rabbit Gu Jinchen had caught from the mountains last time had already been finished. At that time, there were some dried chili peppers at home, so she made a stir fried and a braised rabbit dish with them.

She also sent some over to Wang Sister-In-Law's family next door to let them have a taste. They had helped look after the two little ones a lot and also lent a hand on their wedding day.

They had taken care of them on normal days too, good neighbors like them were rare. Naturally they should interact more to maintain the relationship.

The rest was finished by their little family. Two fat rabbits in one meal, they ate until very full.

Today, there was still a wild chicken at home with a broken wing. Luo Ge was preparing to deal with it tonight.

While hoeing the weeds in the vegetable patch, Luo Ge had picked up some green onions and a nest of potatoes, only three or four small egg potatoes.

There were also a few vegetables that were probably seeds that had fallen into the soil that Gu Jinchen didn't notice before. They could just nicely make a potato and chicken stew.

Those few vegetables could also be stir fried.

At this time, families that could eat meat two or three times a week were actually very few. However, their family were hunters.

"What's wrong?" Gu Jinchen, who was helping watch the fire, saw that his young wife kept staring at him and couldn't help but ask.

"Nothing, I just feel very lucky to have met you," Luo Ge said with a smile. In her heart, she was grateful for having met him back then.

This man is caring, hardworking and honest, good-looking, and can hunt to earn money to provide for his family. Meeting him, she really struck gold.

Wife, this, is this... a confession?

Upon hearing this, the rough man was stunned for a moment, his face instantly turning red. "I, I think I'm the lucky one," he stammered back a sentence, successfully amusing Luo Ge.

Seeing her laugh, Gu Jinchen also unconsciously turned up the corners of his mouth. Usually quite a smart man, but so silly now.

"Is there still wine at home? I'll add some." When they ate at the banquet yesterday, they had some wine. There should still be some left.

"There is, I'll go get it." Hearing this, Gu Jinchen immediately ran to get the wine for his wife.

"Just put the wine here, you go out first. It'll be done soon." After he brought it over, Luo Ge started shooing him out.

Gu Jinchen looked at Luo Ge, then looked outside the yard. In the end, he still obediently went out.

After he left, Luo Ge took out some seasoning wine and ingredients from her space.

First, she parboiled the chicken with green onion, ginger and seasoning wine. Then, she fished out the parboiled chicken.

She stir fried the chicken with oil, salt, star anise and bay leaves until cooked through and fragrant before fishing it out to set aside.

Then, using the remaining oil in the wok, she stir fried the potato cubes until the surfaces were golden brown before fishing them out to also set aside.

Next, she added some water and rice wine to braise the chicken for seven to eight minutes before adding the potatoes and a bit of salt to continue braising. Finally, she sprinkled on the green onions before taking it off the heat.

Before serving, Luo Ge picked out and burnt the bay leaves in the stove. She only brought the dish out after that.

The two little ones couldn't take spicy food. Last time, they didn't dare eat much of the spicy braised rabbit, only the non-spicy stewed rabbit.

So she catered to their tastes. Anyway, the two adults weren't picky.

"Come eat, go wash your hands." A simple potato chicken stew, with a side of stir fried greens.

"Ok, Big Treasure is here."

"Second Treasure is here too, little uncle is the slowest."

In the time she was cooking, the two little ones had already bathed. Hearing her, they immediately went to wash their hands and sat neatly in the main hall.

The staple today was not so good, just corn porridge.

There were a lot of wheat and rice stocked up, but they couldn't eat lavishly every day. They still had to live frugally.

Eating too extravagantly all the time might attract envious gazes. People's noses during this time were exceptionally sensitive.

Moreover, grain yields were generally low in this period. Sometimes, wheat and rice were even more precious than meat.

But for meat, even if others were envious, there was nothing they could do.

If they had the capability, they could also go up the mountain to hunt. After all, the great mountains belonged to no one. Anyone who could obtain food from the mountains depended on their own ability.

Although their little family disliked trouble, they were not afraid of trouble either.

"Mm, I was slow." Hearing the little one's words, Gu Jinchen waved his freshly washed hands and laughed.

Perhaps because it was stir fried with spices, the dishes today were especially popular with them.

Soon, the uncle and nephews started snatching food from each other.

Don't let their small size fool you, their speed was really not bad. This was thanks to their little uncle making them practice martial arts every day.

According to the little ones, starting half a year ago, their little uncle had them get up early every day to practice martial arts with him. Only after practice could they freely do what they wanted.

Now, although they were small, children their age didn't dare bully them.

They got up so early that Luo Ge only found out about it yesterday.

"For little auntie, eat meat."

"Eat Second Treasure's, little auntie."

Luo Ge didn't participate in their battle for meat. Unexpectedly, the two little ones insisted on picking out the meat they finally managed to grab and gave it to her.

But halfway there, Gu Jinchen stopped them. "Eat your own, your little auntie will eat mine."

Of course he couldn't let other men dote on his wife, only he himself could.

Those two little brats were also not allowed, in case his wife liked them more in the future.

Saying so, Gu Jinchen passed his entire bowl of spoils to Luo Ge, "Wife eat."

Luo Ge's little face turned slightly red. This was the first time he called her wife.

Mm... what happened last night didn't count.

Seeing this, the little ones felt a little embarrassed but couldn't match his insistence. They could only obediently keep eating.

But she didn't have a big appetite and couldn't eat much. In the end, most of it still entered his stomach.

She was the first to finish eating. She had always maintained the habit of "Walking after meals, living until 99".

After eating, she wanted to take a walk around the yard to aid her digestion but stopped in her tracks as soon as she stepped out of the main hall.

Her little face flushed red. This morning, the bed sheet was dirtied so she had taken it off to soak. She was planning to wash it later.

She didn't expect it to have already been washed and hung out to dry now. She hadn't gotten to it yet and the two little ones couldn't wash it either. The only possibility was Gu Jinchen.

One might not have eaten pork before but would have at least seen a pig run. Having seen so many online videos and stuff, she naturally knew men cared a lot about touching the things women dirtied.

Moreover, people in ancient times were especially superstitious about these things, believing they were inauspicious.

She really didn't expect that he would actually help her wash it.

"I bathed those two rascals just now and washed it by the way."

Gu Jinchen had followed her out. Seeing her staring blankly at the bedsheet, his face was also a little embarrassed.

Scratching his head, he said so. Seeing the bedsheet made him easily recall last night's affairs.

"Mm." Hearing his words, Luo Ge turned her head to look at him, her eyes curving into crescents, full of glittering lights.

Gu Jinchen was immediately stunned by the sight, remaining foolishly frozen for a long time before coming back to his senses. Feeling rather awkward, he brought the bowls and chopsticks back to the kitchen.

"I'll go wash the dishes."

Watching the man's back view, Luo Ge and the two little ones burst out laughing at the same time.
