It seemed that it was really too late for him today. The villagers who were digging for vegetables and gathering firewood had all returned home already, so Lin Chunnuan quickly entered the shallow woods and found the place where Dou Wang hid things for her last time. After digging open the grass, he realized that it was indeed a big bundle of firewood.

Pulling the firewood out of the grass, tied it up again, and then bent down to carry it, Lin Chunnuan quickly walked home. Her steps were very fast, and even though the firewood on her shoulders were a bit heavier than the firewood she usually picked up, she did not slow her steps.

"Sis, aren't you going to help mother?"

"Come, Chun Jiao, try it too."

Lin Chunnuan gave his little sister the tip of her chopsticks, and Chun Jiao treasured this little bit of honey very much.

"Elder sister, it's sweet."

Looking at the little girl pursing her lips, looking very satisfied, Lin Chunnuan actually felt quite uncomfortable in her heart. It was just a tip of the chopsticks, if placed in her previous life, it would be something she wouldn't even care about. Every time her mother made nectar for her, she would flee to the side, and even secretly pour it away.

In this life, when Lin Chunnuan saw the thing that she was holding in her hand, she was also salivating. After all, living in such a poor and materialistic village, honey was no longer something that could be ignored in her previous life. It was a rare and precious food.

"Warm Spring, you're back. Why are you back so late today? Did something happen?"

After Zhang Liu tidied up the garden at the back, she wanted to go back to his house to look for her son and daughter, but she found that eldest daughter was also in his house.

"Eh, what smell is it so fragrant?"

After finishing his conversation with eldest daughter, Zhang Liu smelled the sweet and greasy fragrance of the flowers and immediately pounced on his nose. Then, he saw what was in eldest daughter's hands.

"What is this, Warm Spring?"

Zhang Liu pointed to the oil paper bag in her daughter's hand and asked.

"Mom, don't worry about what it is for now. Come, open your mouth."

Lin Chunnuan picked up the honey on the chopsticks and placed it in her mother's mouth. If this were placed in the modern era, she would be able to share a pair of chopsticks with others and directly throw them out. But after being in this world for more than a month, she had gotten used to it.

"What the hell is this?"

Zhang Liu was still wondering when her chopsticks had already reached into her mother's mouth.

"Aiya, mom, don't worry about anything else. Hurry up and eat, or you'll drop it."

Zhang Liu carefully savored the taste in her mouth with the sweetness of flowers.

"Warm Spring, it's really delicious. What exactly is this thing?"

Zhang Liu laid beside her daughter and carefully looked at the sticky tissue on the oil paper. It was boiled sweet and thin, obviously much sweeter than sweet and liquid, and it did not have that kind of smell.

"Mom, you really don't know her? This is honey."

He didn't expect that his mother wouldn't know about honey. Furthermore, seeing how she was tasting honey, let alone eating it, she probably hadn't even seen honey before.

"Oh, so this is honey. I've heard someone talk about how delicious this thing is. This is the first time I've seen it."

Zhang Liu looked carefully at the ball of things again, feeling that it was very strange.

"Oh yeah, where did you get them from, warm spring?"

Suddenly, he thought of the most important question. Zhang Liu raised his head and asked his daughter worriedly, I heard that honey is very expensive, it would probably cost a lot of money to be so small, but I don't know how my daughter got her hands on it.

Mother, quickly find a place to put it away. In the future, give Chun Jiao and Chun Xiao some food everyday, don't eat it dry, it's too sweet. Give them water to drink, it's good for the intestines and stomach, and it's good for the skin.

Hearing his daughter say that she would keep her things, Zhang Liu started to look around for things to hold them in, only to realise that there was nothing useful in the house, Lin Chunnuan could not help but sigh, this family was truly too poor.

"Mother, then put it into the small bowl. Although there is less honey, it can still last for a few days."

Zhang Liu could only put it into the small bowl. Fortunately, there was such a bowl for Chun Xiao to eat in, that day when it was brought back by the eldest daughter, it was never returned to him. He carefully scraped the honey into the small bowl, and unexpectedly, it was also half-filled.

Chun Jiao was sensible enough to not fight with her brother. However, Chun Xiao was enlightened today, and she knew that she wouldn't be able to eat this food normally.

"Second Sister, eat this chopstick, I'll eat this."

The little guy snatched the oily paper from his mother's hands and licked it, covering his face and nose. Seeing that his brother really wanted to eat, Chun Jiao put the chopsticks into his mouth and sucked them clean.

Seeing that the children were still not willing to put the things down after licking them clean, Zhang Liu also felt upset in her heart. Living like this for so long, was truly boring for her.

"Mom, go cook. Do you need my help?"

When he saw his mother's complexion drop, he knew what she was thinking in her heart. He had his own thoughts in his heart, not to mention that it was the mother of his three children.

"Oh, I don't need your help. I can take care of myself. You can stay in the room and watch your little brother and sister."

Zhang Liu held onto the bowl of honey, looking all over for a place to lay down. Her house was simply too small, and there was no place to put anything.

"Mother, the honey is too sweet. It can attract bugs, so you have to cover it properly."

Hearing his daughter's words, Zhang Liu quickly found a clean kernels, folded it in two, and covered it on top of the bowl. After that, he found a rope that was used to tie his daughter's hair, and tied it around the bowl's edge.

"This should be enough, we won't need bugs this way."

Lin Chunnuan also felt that this should work.

"Mother, put it in the hanging basket. It should be quite safe there."

saw his daughter pointing at the wicker basket hanging on the beam of the room, and immediately nodded. It was so tall, and was not used normally, but it was actually prepared for some delicious thing to eat. In the end, although he prepared a hook hanging basket, it was really useless.

Now, this small bowl of honey just happened to have a place to put it.

"Okay, hide it here. Nothing can reach it."

Zhang Liu reached out to take off the basket, putting the bowl of honey inside, then carefully hung it back down. She was careful not to tip the basket over, lest the bowl of honey get spilled.

After putting away the items, Zhang Liu looked around once, before leaving in a relaxed manner.

"Both of you, watch it well. In the future, mother will make honey water for you two everyday."

The two little fellows nodded excitedly, indicating that they would definitely keep a close eye on it.

"When daddy comes back, don't keep staring at that thing. Daddy will find out. When that happens, Daddy will bring the honey to Grandma's room, and we'll have to watch Chun Ming eat it. We won't be able to eat it ourselves."

Lin Chunnuan really could do such a thing, and after that, all she could do was watch Lin Chunming eat.

After finishing lunch, Lin Chunnuan cleaned up the courtyard. Seeing that there was nothing else to do, she told her mother that she had to go out for a while.

"Then don't be a fool. Come back quickly, okay?"

"Understood, Mother. Don't worry about me. I will take care of my own safety."

After watching her mother clean the kitchen, she soaked a few pieces of clothing in the basin and then went back to the vegetable patch. She knew that her mother still had work to do, so she didn't say anything to her mother.

After lunch, he didn't even dare to take a nap. Normally, when he wasn't going up the mountain, he would take a nap during lunch, which would relieve his fatigue, but today, at noon, he couldn't sleep. He could only hear the sound of the door opening, so he had no choice but to get up from the brick bed and go to the yard to search for mint.

The mint was completely dry outside, but Dou Wang didn't dare to take it back, because there was no such thing as spring warmth. If everything went wrong, it would be bad, but he could see that these mint were very precious in her eyes, and he just didn't know if it could really be exchanged for money.

"Wangzhige, I'm coming."

Lin Chunnuan had just knocked on the door and shouted, when the door opened instantly.

"Wangzhige, were you waiting for me in the courtyard?"

Dou Wang was able to control it well this time. He didn't have a big red face, but his ears were still a little red.

"No, I didn't wait for you. I was just looking for mint when you knocked on the door."

He was ashamed to say that he had been waiting in the courtyard all afternoon.

"Wangzhige, let's not waste anymore time. I'll go set the fire, help me bring out a pot and place it on the stove. Let me think, I think it's a medium-pot."

Fortunately, Lin Chunnuan did not pursue the matter any further, and directly assigned the mission, causing Dou Wang to immediately go.

The wok was quickly heated up, Lin Chunnuan poured half a bowl of honey inside, stopped the fire from burning too much, and watched as the honey was boiled and started to bubble with small cannon. Then, she took the wok over to the side of the wok and placed it on the wok.
