Holding the baby and squatting at the door for a while, she still didn't see Bai Zhan come back, but she didn't dare to stay at the door for too long, for fear that the baby would catch a cold, and waited for about two or three minutes, so she had to take the baby back to the house.

Now the ground was empty except for the corner where it was picked, and the rest of the place was covered with soft and soft hides, except for the thick hay, and in order to keep the house clean, Mao Nian washed the hides almost every few days.

So at this moment, after she carried the baby into the house, she lay directly on the ground, put the baby on her chest, and carefully protected it with both hands, "Baby, guess what your dad is doing today?" ”

The baby stepped on the cat's chest a few times, found a position that he thought was the most comfortable, snorted, and lay down on his stomach to take care of himself, as for the cat who was still chattering and trying to communicate with him, he was naturally ignored.

It's just that soon the baby can't bear to raise his head lonely, stepping on the weak little paws of his limbs to get close to the cheeks of Mao Nian, and his mouth keeps moaning like a coquettish.

Mao Nian was quickened by his cute heart, and suddenly stopped chattering and speculation, and rubbed the baby's little head very gently with a sideways face, "Good, there will be food soon." ”

The baby staggered to prop up his upper body, lay on Mao Nian's face, and stepped on it a few times with his soft little paws, and finally found a place where he felt at ease, snuggled up to Mao Nian's face and lay on his stomach, and from time to time he stretched out his tongue and licked her face.

Mao Nian relied on his tenacious willpower to persist for a full five minutes, and finally couldn't help turning into a beast form, carefully put away his paws, and gently licked the hair on his head while holding the baby.

If she still couldn't understand why Daddy Cat and Bai Zhan liked to lick her fur when she turned into a beast form, now that Mao Nian understands everything, licking fur is the most direct way for orcs to express their love.

Just when Mao Nian was holding the baby and licking the fur and couldn't extricate herself, Bai Zhan, who had been talking to her for a long time, finally came back with a cold body.

Mao Nian took her attention away from the baby with difficulty, looked back at Bai Zhan who was carrying something, and tilted her head suspiciously, "Why did you come back so late today?" ”

"On the way, I met orcs from other tribes and chatted for a while." Bai Zhan put the things on the ground, stood at the door and patted the snowflakes on his body, and when he stepped into the house, he took off his shoes and carried them in his hands, went into the house and put them next to the fire, and went back to carry the things wrapped in animal skins at the door.

He didn't dare to rely on the cat to get too close to the baby, so he kept some distance from beginning to end, "They gave me something to eat, and I thought you might like it, so I brought it back." ”

"What's that?" The cat propped herself up curiously, but soon remembered the baby who was still sleeping in her arms, and silently lay back.

"I haven't seen it either, but the orcs I met said that this thing could be eaten, and it was something that they accidentally found that they could eat after not hitting their prey for a year." Bai Zhan said as he opened the wrapped hide.

The things exposed inside made Mao Nian's eyes widen instantly, and he stared at the things in the animal skin with an unbelievable and incredible look for two minutes before he came back to his senses under Bai Zhan's reminder, "Where is this, this, which tribe's orcs gave it to you?" ”

Mao Nian's voice was trembling, she could feel it herself, but she couldn't control it, it was too surprising, no, it should be ecstasy!

This is rice! She thought she wouldn't be able to eat rice for the rest of her life!

Of course, Bai Zhan could see Mao Nian's joy, and he was very happy at the moment, feeling that his decision was right.

I really like it.

"It's one of the tribes that came to exchange for flint and steel last time, you may not remember the name, their tribe has fewer orcs."

"There's a chance to go to their tribe!" Mao Nian immediately made a decision, then turned into a human form, picked up the baby and put it in the warm nest, and brought the nest to Bai Zhan's side, and said happily: "You look at the baby, I will make food for you." ”

Bai Zhan looked at his daughter-in-law and lifted the animal skin bag with a happy face, and suddenly felt a little annoyed, he knew that Xiao Budian would like it so much, and he should have asked for more of those orcs.

Mao Nian turned over the boiled eggs in the stone scoop with chopsticks, looked at the large stone scoop of millet in front of him with a sense of happiness, thought about it, and finally made out a dressed grain, and turned out the stone pestle from another big stone scoop with chopsticks and wooden bowls, hesitated for a moment, and finally decided to try it first.

Of course, all I used to eat was ready-made rice, but this is the first time I have seen millet, and I really don't have any way to peel the husk in my memory, I only know that I have to grind it.

After being busy for a long time, seeing that some rice and shells had gradually separated from the stone scoop, Mao Nian suddenly squinted his eyes with satisfaction, and became more and more energetic, and even sang happily.

Bai Zhan watched from the side for a while, and saw that a layer of sweat beads appeared on his daughter-in-law's forehead, and he squeezed over in distress, so he was about to grab the stone pestle in Mao Nian's hand: "I'll come, I already understand." ”

Mao Nian quickly changed the stone pestle in one hand, and dodged Bai Zhan's outstretched hand, "I'll just come, this is not difficult, you take the baby to rest, you must be very tired when you go out so early today." ”

Bai Zhan was stunned, the corners of his lips were raised high, and the hand that was supposed to take the stone pestle simply wrapped his arms around Mao Nian's waist, and rubbed his chin against her neck, "I'm not tired." ”

"If you're not tired, go to sleep, and I'll call you when the meal is ready."

Bai Zhan thought carefully about the unfamiliar word 'rice', and his eyes stayed in the stone scoop for a while, guessing that it should be related to the thing he had just brought back today.

Bai Zhan still wanted to stay and help Mao Nian, but in the end he was forcibly pushed to the bed by Mao Nian, and even the nest with the baby was placed on the bed, and probably because the movement in the middle was too big, the baby woke up, and Bai Zhan had no choice but to take care of the baby in bed.

It took Mao Nian to grind the grain scooped up by the stone for more than half an hour before it was almost all ground out.

Water had been added to the two stone scoops several times, and the stone scoop for stewed meat was relatively slow, and Mao Nian didn't think about it anymore after looking at it, and instead looked at the stone scoop that was boiling eggs.

It's been almost an hour since it was cooked, and it should be done......

After thinking about it, Mao Nian took a clean big leaf next to him, and slowly picked out the rice that had been separated from the stone scoop, and when all the leaves were filled with rice in the end, Mao Nian felt a huge sense of satisfaction in his heart.

Humming a familiar tune in his previous life, he put the extra shells in the stone scoop into the fire, and pulled out a small wooden basin from the side, poured all the rice on the leaves into the wooden basin, looked at Bai Zhan, who had already fallen asleep with the baby, and went out lightly with the wooden basin.

Soon they came to a waterhole not far away, and there was not a single orc around the waterhole, and they all ran to the new big stone house to keep warm.

Since more and more orcs ran to the big stone house, the big stone house was really too crowded to live, the patriarch immediately decided to build a bigger big stone house, the orcs had a clear division of labor, and it took less than five days to build a new big stone house.

After seeing the achievements of the orcs, Mao Nian was once again amazed by the abilities of the orcs.

Mao Nian endured the cold and carefully scooped the rice, carefully barely let a few grains of rice fall, and after reloading some clean water, he hurriedly ran in the direction of the house with the wooden basin.

The snow day and night made the entire tribe wrapped in a piece of white, and the cold invaded all parts of the body mercilessly, just such a short stretch of road, Mao Nian was shivering with cold, and when he returned to the house, he couldn't help but feel distressed when he saw Bai Zhan who was still sleeping. 、

In the future, I will let Bai Zhan go out less.

Putting the wooden basin aside, Mao Nian went to wash the stone scoop again, and cleaned the stone scoop with the clean water in the wooden barrel at home, and then poured the rice and water in the wooden basin into the stone scoop.

Picking up the animal skin that had been placed aside, and soaking it in a wooden basin filled with some water, Mao Nian picked it up again, took out the soaked animal skin, wrapped the egg that had been boiled in the stone scoop, and put it in the wooden basin.

It's just that it's still a bit of a hassle to get the stone scoop off the fire. 、

Her strength is fortunate, if she just holds the stone scoop, she can still do it, but now the stone scoop is so hot, of course she can't hold it, and the two fat animal skins prepared next to her that are specially used to remove the stone scoop need to be held with two hands, and then pinched the two sides of the stone scoop to take it off.

But unfortunately, Mao Nian can't mention it......

She had been complaining about this for a long time.

After trying twice again but still failed, Mao Nian had no choice but to look at Bai Zhan, who was sleeping on the bed, hesitated, and decided to get up and wake up Bai Zhan to help.

Of course, filling your stomach is more important than sleeping!

Bai Zhan was woken up, and saw his daughter-in-law's face in front of him in a daze, and as soon as he stretched out his big hand, he took Mao Nian into his arms, leaned over and kissed Mao Nian all the way around his neck, and finally moved to the corner of Mao Nian's lips and pecked him, as if he found that Mao Nian did not mean to come to bed to sleep, Bai Zhan tightened his arms again, trying to pull Mao Nian to the bed.

Mao Nian looked at the baby who was not far from his arm in horror throughout the whole process, fortunately, Bai Zhan was a little measured, for fear of hurting her, even if she slept in a daze, she didn't dare to use too much force, otherwise Mao Nian's body would lie down, and she would definitely press the baby.

"Bai Zhan, get up first to help, and then go to sleep later."

Mao Nian struggled to move out from under Bai Zhan's arm, retreated to a safe distance, thought about it, and leaned up to take the baby away, lest Bai Zhan accidentally turn over and press the baby down.

Bai Zhan rubbed for a while, and finally opened his eyes under the cat-like soul-like voice, although he liked to hear the voice of Xiao Budian gently waking himself up, but the only few times were completely sweet burdens for Bai Zhan.

It's too torturous, you must tell Xiao Budian not to call him repeatedly!
