Chen Wei’er took a long time to find a suitable material. She tried to lift the stone with force…
In the next second, she did not expect to find a bunch of crabs inside! She couldn’t care less about stone now. She didn’t have to worry about dinner tonight!
She reached out and quickly caught a crab. Then, she took out a few reeds and tied the legs. She should thank her former neighbors for this method. Not only did they sell poultry, but they also sold seafood…
Such a method would thoroughly restrict the crab. Simultaneously, it was easy and sturdy.
Therefore, Chen Wei’er picked up five or six crabs in a row and easily avoided their large pincers!
She then chose another stone that was most suitable for holding water, but it was too heavy for her to move. She had no choice but to roll it on the ground. It took her a lot of effort to roll the stone to the entrance of the cave.
After gathering the pot and food, Chen Wei’er needed to build a stove. She recalled the clay stove she had seen when she watched a period drama with Nie Suijing’s mother.
She would need to dig two pits in the ground and connect them. One of the pits was set up with a pot while the other pit was filled with firewood.
Chen Wei’er casually picked up a small sharp stone piece and began to dig a hole in the ground. The ground on this mountain was tough. She dug for a long time before she could dig a hole.
Thereafter, she placed the pot on the table and found that it was just right.
This gave Chen Wei’er a lot of confidence, and she started digging another hole. There was nothing around to make a pot lid, and she did not have the strength to search anymore. She moved half of the tinder beside her and burned it fiercely under the pot.
The crabs also began to change color…
Because of the dim sky, He Xun could no longer find any edible living creatures. With the help of the hazy moonlight, he only managed to dig up a few small sweet potatoes.
Although it wasn’t meat, the sweet potatoes were still very sweet when roasted!
He Xun was worried that Chen Wei’er couldn’t wait, so he came back with the sweet potatoes. He thought that she would definitely like it if he cooked it for her later.
Chen Wei’er first heard the sound of footsteps at the entrance of the cave. She immediately picked up a stone vigilantly and looked over. When she saw He Xun walking in through the night, her originally vigilant eyes immediately lit up.
“You’re back!” She jumped up happily.
He Xun raised the sweet potato in his hand and remarked, “I didn’t find anything else. I only dug up a few sweet potatoes.”
Chen Wei’er was not unhappy at all. She pointed at the pot she made and asked him for credit.
“Look, we can eat crabs!”
“Are you cooking crabs?” He Xun was surprised.
“That’s right! I found them, and I even moved a stone to make a pot!” Chen Wei’er had a smug look on her face. She wanted to receive praise from He Zun.
He Xun was never stingy with his praise for Chen Wei’er. He smiled and patted his wife’s head.
“You are too amazing.” As He Xun spoke, he threw the sweet potato he had dug into the fire.
Chen Wei’er came up and wrapped her arms around him. She excitedly talked to He Xun. She shared how she found the stone and how she accidentally found the crab…
Chen Wei’er was in high spirits as she spoke. Her little mouth was chattering non-stop. Her eyes were still shining, and that light was filled with eagerness—making it impossible for anyone to refuse.
He Xun patted her head and was infected by her enthusiasm. He answered her sentence by sentence. It could be said that he responded to every word she said.
Chen Wei’er was embarrassed by his praise, and her face turned red.
The next second, He Xun, “But this isn’t the first time we have eaten seafood together.” She didn’t remember, but He Xun could recollect it.
“Have we eaten seafood together before?” Chen Wei’er widened her eyes.
He Xun nodded and replied with a smile. “We ate a big meal together.”

Chen Wei’er was a little curious, and she shook He Xun’s arm.
“Can you tell me? I really want to know. Where did we eat seafood? What did we eat? Is it delicious?”
He Xun was the best storyteller. As he relayed the story in a low voice, Chen Wei’er could almost imagine the scene. She didn’t need to do anything. During the meal, she could enjoy He Xun’s all-round service.
The corners of her eyes instantly turned sour. Wasn’t this the life she wanted to live? Even when the spouses were busy, they wouldn’t forget to surprise each other. The two of them could have their own space and focus on each other’s eyes.
