CHAPTER 1764: CHAPTER 1771 WHO GRABBED JUHUA (3)

Children are light sleepers and don’t sleep for long, but Cai Wei still has to toil for most of the night. If she doesn’t rest well now, she will definitely feel fatigued!

After eating and drinking to her heart’s content, Cai Wei slept soundly for four or five Shi Chen before getting up. After waking up, she found that the man and the children were not in the room. When she went out, she saw Nangong Yi working in the field with the children.

The man, who was as noble as an emperor, wore a simple cotton robe with the hem tucked into his waistband, bending over to sow crops. Several little milk buns followed behind him, with Jin’er helping him drop seeds, Yu’er assisting in covering the soil, and Bright Pearls holding his water pot, occasionally letting him take a sip to quench his thirst...

The scene of fatherly kindness and filial children was truly heartwarming...

"When did you all wake up? I didn’t hear a thing!" Cai Wei walked over and gently used a handkerchief to wipe away the sweat from the man’s cheek.

Nangong Yi straightened up and laughed, "We’ve been up for more than two Shi Chen. I saw you sleeping like a little piglet and couldn’t bear to disturb you!"

Cai Wei, being from a bodyguard background, was always alert when asleep. If the children woke up naturally, they would make some noise, and she would definitely sense it, unless they were taken away from her side while still asleep and that too with very light movements, so she couldn’t sense it.

Although understanding what was going on in her heart, Cai Wei did not reveal it. The love between them had reached a point where it was enough to feel with the heart; there was no need to express or thank verbally anymore!

After enjoying his wife’s tenderness and kindness, Nangong Yi asked Cai Wei, "Madam, how do you plan to deal with those lewd monks later?"

Cai Wei smiled and whispered a few words into the man’s ear, leaving him dumbfounded. After a long time, he burst out into laughter, applauding repeatedly!

For those who indulge in lewdness, the most cruel punishment is to destroy their tools of crime. His wife’s idea was truly brilliant! This way, it not only served to punish and warn them but also prevented the innocent women and children who were harmed from suffering further, truly killing two birds with one stone!

Dinner was made by Cai Wei and Nangong Yi together, making the barbecue that Chang Mei and Brother Ying loved the most. Although Cai Wei didn’t want the children to eat barbecue, it wasn’t a frequent occurrence, so she could accept it once in a while.

Nangong Yi caught a wild chicken, first boiling a large pot of water to remove its feathers, then taking out the internal organs, keeping the chicken heart, liver, and gizzard, while other waste like intestines were buried in the soil to decompose. As per his wife’s instructions, he chopped the wild chicken into eight pieces, skewering the chicken wings and legs, neck, and head with bamboo sticks, then slashing them with a knife, rubbing with salt and Sichuan pepper, to make them more flavorful when barbecued.

The meat on the chicken breast was ample; after deboning, he skewered several large strings of chicken meat skewers, then took out the pork and mutton stored in Space, cut them up, and marinated everything.

Meat alone wasn’t enough; vegetables were needed to cut the grease. Cai Wei picked some eggplant, leaf mustard, potatoes, and sweet potatoes from the field. The potatoes and sweet potatoes were sliced thinly, especially the sweet potato, on which a layer of honey was smothered, and some sesame sprinkled on top when nearly done cooking, making it delightful in color, aroma, and taste. The children would surely love it.

The beans and eggplant were simpler and easier to skewer. Besides these, Cai Wei also caught a lot of fish, shrimp, and scallops from the Lingxi River, choosing the phoenix golden-scaled fish the children loved most. In her past life, she often heard people say that kids become smarter by eating fish, so when she had children of her own, she often experimented with making fish for the children: steamed, braised in soy sauce, red-cooked, sweet and sour, and today’s barbecued. She managed to cook one kind of fish in over a dozen ways, each with a different taste, and the children all loved it!
