Chapter 8: Little Stars in My Eyes

A warm smile suddenly spread across Lan Wenxiu's face.

She immediately stood up and went to greet him.

On the other side, after walking in, Fang Hongan quickly saw the teacup on the table.

Thinking of the fact that he had just bumped into Xie Liucui on the way back, Fang Hongan hurriedly asked, "Was it Xie Liucui who came earlier?"

"Ok!"

Lan Wenxiu nodded and helped Fang Hongan put down his clothes.

"What is she doing here..."

Fang Hongan put down the bamboo basket on his back, his face suddenly froze: "Are you talking about exchanging fields?"

Fang Hongan has never had a good impression of his aunt. It was like this in his previous life forty years ago, and it is even more so now that he has been reborn.

At this time, Fang Hongan thought about it and the only possibility was to change the fields.

After all, his aunt had put in a lot of effort to get the acre of land in Niujiaowan.

In the previous life, after Lan Wenxiu's accidental death, this acre of land was finally obtained by them.

Afterwards, under the manipulation of this aunt, the uncle's family used many discordant and disgusting means to get a lot of benefits from Fang Hongan.

At that time, Fang Hongan was confused, disheartened, and didn't bother to care about many things.

But in this life, since he has decided to devote all his efforts to building a well-off and happy family, Fang Hongan will no longer allow these calculations to fall upon him and his wife.

So, after guessing this possibility, Fang Hongan's eyes suddenly became cold and murderous.

Lan Wenxiu, who had poured a glass of water and handed it over, was stunned for a moment after seeing this scene, and then nodded and replied, "Yes!"

"But... I've been pissed off!"

"Leaving in anger?" Fang Hongan was slightly stunned.

"Such……"

Lan Wenxiu simply recounted the entire incident to Fang Hongan.

"This..." Fang Hongan was stunned after hearing this.

In his memory, his wife Lan Wenxiu always appeared gentle, capable and considerate in front of him, and she never quarreled with anyone.

As for his aunt-in-law, Xie Liucui, she was notoriously hot-tempered. Not only was she cunning and had a sharp tongue, but she was also like a cannon that could explode at any time. When she did, she would use all kinds of despicable tricks, including throwing tantrums and rolling on the ground.

There has never been a shortage of aggressive women in Shiwan Village, but few of them could withstand a challenge from Xie Liucui.

When the two of them were playing against each other, Fang Hongan couldn't find any scene in which his wife Lan Wenxiu won.

But the ending was so unexpected.

Recalling how angry Xie Liucui was when he met her just now, Fang Hongan couldn't help but laugh heartily. He hugged his wife in front of him, lowered his head and kissed her fair forehead, and whispered: "Wenxiu! You are so great!"

This time, facing Fang Hongan's intimate behavior, Lan Wenxiu did not shyly avoid him, but held her head high, with a little pride written all over her delicate face.

She deliberately told Fang Hongan all this in order to show her strong side in front of him.

She wanted him to know that when he was not at home, she could not only protect herself but also support the family.

In this way, Fang Hongan will feel at ease whenever he is outside.

He feels at peace.

She felt relieved.

After a few moments of tenderness, Lan Wenxiu finally blushed as she saw the open door in front of her. She wriggled out of Fang Hongan's arms with a tender voice. Looking at the backpack Fang Hongan had placed on the ground, her eyes lit up and she said happily, "Wow! We dug up a lot of Kudzu!"

"Ge?"

Fang Hongan smiled. When he returned to the village just now, in order to prevent others from seeing the harvest in the bamboo basket, he specially picked up some kudzu vines discarded on the roadside and covered the bamboo basket with them.
Sure enough, on the way back, everyone he met thought he had dug up a basket of kudzu, and they never imagined that there would be honey underneath.

It was reasonable for Lan Wenxiu to think that the basket contained kudzu. Fang Hongan did not explain, but stood quietly beside her, waiting for Lan Wenxiu's next reaction.

Lan Wenxiu lifted the backpack and felt it was surprisingly heavy. She was even more certain that it contained Pueraria root and immediately prepared to take it out and deal with it.

She grabbed one of the vines, intending to straighten out the kudzu vines so that she could take out the roots one by one, but she didn't expect that with this grab, the entire clump of kudzu roots would be pulled up.

Just as he was wondering, his peripheral vision accidentally swept across the scene under the kudzu vines, and he immediately couldn't help but exclaimed: "Eggs! Hongan, did you pick up a nest of pheasant eggs?"

Pheasant eggs look very similar to chicken eggs, but are much smaller and quite easy to identify. Lan Wenxiu recognized it at the first sight.

"Well! We are lucky. We came across a nest while walking!" Fang Hongan smiled and helped his wife pick out the pheasant eggs from the basket one by one.

"I'll go cook now, and we'll cook two for lunch!"

Lan Wenxiu put the pheasant eggs away, picked up two and prepared to go to the fire room.

"There's no rush!"

Fang Hongan gently held her hand, and then pointed at the bamboo basket under Lan Wenxiu's puzzled gaze: "There's more!"

"besides?"

Lan Wenxiu then remembered that the bamboo basket was very heavy and it was obviously impossible that it only contained this nest of pheasant eggs.

From what Fang Hongan said, it seems that what's underneath is the real surprise!
Lan Wenxiu couldn't help but hum in her throat, and returned to the bamboo basket with stars in her eyes.

She pulled away the thatch that was padding the pheasant eggs, and soon saw the plastic film with the openings tied tightly. The plastic film he had prepared earlier had been tied into a film pocket.

Through the transparent film, you can vaguely see a pile of yellow stuff inside.

"What's this……"

While Lan Wenxiu was still in a daze, Fang Hongan had already grabbed the tie and lifted up the entire film bag.

Lan Wenxiu suddenly felt a sweet scent with a floral aroma coming from her nose.

As her mouth was watering, she also saw the honeycomb in the film bag.

"Honey!"

Lan Wenxiu covered her mouth, her face full of disbelief and surprise.

OMG!

So much honey!
This is the first time I’ve seen Lan Wen embroider such a large piece of work!
The impact and surprise brought by this bag of honeycombs far exceeded the previous nest of pheasant eggs.

Although pheasant eggs are a rare harvest, you can often hear about people in the village picking them up.

Even Lan Wenxiu herself picked up a nest of them when she went into the mountains to pick wild vegetables a few years ago.

But it was the first time that Lan Wenxiu saw someone digging up such a rare commodity as honey, and such a large amount at once.

More importantly, honey is valuable!

Much more valuable than pheasant eggs!

"quick!"

"Hongan! Put it down now!"

Lan Wenxiu suddenly screamed in surprise.

She patted Fang Hongan's hand eagerly.

Then, while Fang Hongan was stunned and puzzled, she walked quickly to the gate and closed both doors as quickly as possible.

He even fastened both bolts on the door.

After doing all this, Lan Wenxiu, with little stars twinkling in her eyes, patted her chest and walked back...
