Chapter 229 - The Feast

The car key opened the trunk, and after all the swimming things were loaded in, the three of them got into the car.

Sitting in the car, they immediately felt the heat.

The car was parked under the shade of trees, but the surrounding temperature was still quite high.

“It’s so hot as soon as we come down the mountain!

Had I known, I would have stayed in the pool longer,” Yang Ruoxi pouted.

Seeing her sweating from the heat, Li Han quickly turned on the air conditioning in the car.

Instantly, a lot of cool air came out from the vents, blowing on the three of them.

“I turned on the AC, so close the windows, and it’ll be fine in a bit,” Li Han reminded them.

Upon hearing this, Yang Ruoxi and Chen Yang immediately closed all the car windows.

After the windows were closed, the temperature inside the car rapidly decreased.

It didn’t take long to reach a very comfortable temperature.

“Alright!

Let’s head back home!”

Yang Ruoxi said happily.

“Alright.”

Li Han nodded then started the engine and drove towards Willow River Village.

About ten minutes later, the car entered Willow River Village and stopped in front of Chen Yang’s clinic.

Chen Yang and Yang Ruoxi got out of the car.

Upon getting out, Yang Ruoxi walked straight to the trunk, then looked up at Chen Yang and said, “Chen Yang, come help me with the stuff.”

Chen Yang walked to the trunk in a few steps.

“What stuff?”

“Of course, the change of clothes!

Planning to stay at your place, wouldn’t I need to change?” Yang Ruoxi gave Chen Yang a sideways glance, then dragged out a large suitcase from the deepest part of the trunk.

“Help me take it to your room.”

Yang Ruoxi handed the suitcase over to Chen Yang.

After that, Yang Ruoxi walked to the front of the car and waved to Li Han, who was sitting in the driver’s seat: “Sis, you go on back first!

I’ll be staying at Chen Yang’s house for a while to help out!”

Li Han in the car looked at Yang Ruoxi’s excited face and shook her head helplessly.

“Okay then, I’ll head off.

If you want to go back, just give me a call.”

Li Han said.

“Got it!

Bye!”

Yang Ruoxi nodded in agreement, then waved her hand.

Chen Yang also waved, and then Li Han drove away from Willow River Village.

After watching Li Han leave, Chen Yang carried the large suitcase into the house.

As soon as Yang Ruoxi entered the house, she immediately ran into the inner room and excitedly lay on Chen Yang’s bed.

“Yay!

Finally no more boring drama-watching at home!”

Yang Ruoxi rolled excitedly on the bed a few times, then suddenly sat up, looking at Chen Yang who had just walked into the inner room, and asked, “Chen Yang, what are we having for dinner tonight?”

“Whatever you want to eat, I’ll make it,” Chen Yang put the suitcase in the corner and answered.

“Hmm…”

Yang Ruoxi thought for a moment, then said, “Let’s have hot pot, the taste was really amazing last time!

And also the wild mushrooms!”

Hearing Yang Ruoxi wanted to have hot pot and wild mushrooms, Chen Yang also became interested.

Since Suzie left, he himself had not had a good feast at home for a long time.

Now that Yang Ruoxi was here, it was a perfect opportunity to enjoy a big meal.

With that thought, Chen Yang immediately nodded in agreement.

“Okay, hot pot it is.”

Upon hearing Chen Yang agree, Yang Ruoxi became even happier.

She jumped straight off the bed and grabbed Chen Yang’s arm: “Then let’s get ready quickly, I can’t wait to eat!”

Yang Ruoxi dragged Chen Yang to prepare the ingredients, and Chen Yang did not refuse.

He led Yang Ruoxi to the backyard.

“Brother Diao.”

As they entered the backyard, Chen Yang immediately shouted towards the pigsty.

However, there was no response from the pigsty.

Yang Ruoxi was slightly startled: “Brother Diao seems not to be home.”

Chen Yang took three or four steps towards the pigsty and looked up to find the nest empty.

“He’s really not at home.”

As soon as Yang Ruoxi heard that Brother Eagle really wasn’t home, she immediately asked, “So what do we do now, if Brother Eagle isn’t here to help with the hunting, does that mean we won’t be able to eat hotpot?”

Chen Yang was silent for a moment, then said, “Let’s go gather some wild mushrooms first, maybe Brother Eagle will be back by then.”

“Oh, okay.”

Yang Ruoxi obediently nodded, then followed Chen Yang to get two baskets from the house, and they went off to the greenhouse together.

In the greenhouse, Chen Yang taught Yang Ruoxi which wild mushrooms were ripe.

And which wild mushrooms should not be picked.

Yang Ruoxi was very enthusiastic about this.

So she learned quickly and soon was perfectly able to distinguish which mushrooms could be picked and which could not.

And her technique for picking them was proper and stylish.

The two of them happily gathered mushrooms in the greenhouse, and it wasn’t long before they filled their baskets.

“Chen Yang, can we go back now?”

Yang Ruoxi asked, holding the brimming baskets.

Chen Yang glanced at the baskets and then nodded, “We can.”

Afterward, the two of them walked out of the greenhouse together.

On the way back, Yang Ruoxi couldn’t help but ask, “Chen Yang, what if Brother Eagle still isn’t back, will we miss out on the hotpot?”

Seeing Yang Ruoxi’s eager face longing for hotpot, Chen Yang couldn’t help but laugh.

She was such a little glutton.

“Don’t worry, if Brother Eagle doesn’t come back, I’ll catch a couple of rabbits or pheasants from the farm for you, I guarantee you’ll be able to enjoy hotpot happily today,” Chen Yang said with a smile.

“Really?

Chen Yang, you’re too good!”

The moment Yang Ruoxi heard they were guaranteed to have hotpot, she got excited again.

She even excitedly hugged Chen Yang.

Feeling the softness brought about by Ruoxi’s curve, Chen Yang found his throat going a bit dry.

But it was just a moment before Ruoxi let go of Chen Yang.

“Let’s go, let’s go, let’s hurry back,” she said.

After letting go of Chen Yang, Yang Ruoxi immediately pulled Chen Yang towards home.

It was obvious how much she was looking forward to the hotpot.

Seeing how much Ruoxi was anticipating it, Chen Yang naturally wouldn’t disappoint her.

When they got home, Chen Yang handed the wild mushrooms to Yang Ruoxi.

“Your task is to clean these wild mushrooms thoroughly!

Then tear them into small pieces,” he instructed.

After giving Yang Ruoxi her task, Chen Yang immediately went to the backyard to see if Brother Eagle had returned.

If he hadn’t, he would go to the farm to catch a couple of rabbits for their meal.

Unfortunately, Brother Eagle still hadn’t returned.

With no other option since Brother Eagle hadn’t come back, Chen Yang could only go to the farm to catch rabbits.

When he reached the farm, Chen Yang called out all the rabbits.

Over a hundred rabbits stood in front of Chen Yang in unison, the scene somewhat eerie.

If Yang Ruoxi had been there, she would definitely have been taken aback.

Not only were these rabbits obedient, but their size was also astonishing, all exceptionally plump.

Apart from the young ones, the others were at least over ten pounds each.

Wouldn’t Yang Ruoxi be shocked at such a sight?

After gathering all the rabbits, Chen Yang picked one that was relatively normal-sized.

About twelve or thirteen pounds.

Carrying the rabbit home, Chen Yang immediately started boiling water and sharpening knives, getting down to work.

Though it had been a while since he last did this, Chen Yang’s technique was still very adept, and it didn’t take him long to finish processing the wild rabbit.

After dealing with the wild rabbit, Chen Yang threw the innards into the backyard for Brother Eagle to handle.

Then he quickly returned to the kitchen, set the pot on the stove to get the water boiling, and started preparing the ingredients.

By the time the whole process was done, it had already gotten dark outside.
