Building a wooden house requires a lot of wood. Fortunately, there is a forest behind the house, so there is everything except wood.
Behind the forest is a steep cliff. If a wild beast fell down, it would have been smashed to pieces. There is no need to worry about wild beasts invading.
Hu Jiaojiao found a saw from the space and went to the forest to cut trees.
After removing the excess branches and leaves from the trunk and trimming it into a cylindrical shape, it was considered completed. It took more than ten trips back and forth, and when the sun rose, there were more than a dozen long logs piled outside the yard.
After checking the time, Hu Jiaojiao put the saw into the space and started fetching water to make breakfast.
For breakfast, I made vegetable porridge and cumin grilled meat, and boiled an egg for each of us.
Hu Jiaojiao still remembered to prepare a diet meal for Hou Xiang, so she made a vegetable and fruit salad, mixed it with boiled chicken breast, added two eggs, and then served it in a bowl of vegetable porridge.
Orcs have big appetites, so Hu Jiaojiao always cooks large portions, which she puts in the only wooden basin in the house and covers with the hard animal skins that she has sun-dried.
When the cubs came out, they saw Hu Jiaojiao busy in the yard.
A strange feeling flashed through the cubs' minds.
In the past, the vicious female would sleep until they finished their work and prepared the food before getting up. These past two days, they have been well fed and slept comfortably, but they actually got up even later than her. It was really embarrassing.
Several cubs habitually stepped forward to help. When Hu Jiaojiao saw the cubs, she put down her work and smiled gently at them, "Cubs, wake up, come and have breakfast."
While distributing breakfast to the kids, he gave them some instructions.
"Mother will go to Hou Xiang's house later. You can go out and play, but don't go too far. Mother will be worried if she can't find you when she comes back."
Long Yu nodded calmly, "Then we'll wait for you at home."
Long Xiu and Long Zhong didn't say anything and agreed.
Instead, Long Linger looked at Hu Jiaojiao expectantly, "Mother, can I go with you?"
She has never gone out with her mother.
Hu Jiaojiao thought about it and decided that there was nothing urgent anyway, and taking Long Linger along would also help enhance the mother-daughter relationship, so she nodded and said, "Okay, I'll take you with me after dinner."
"Great, mother, you are so kind." Long Linger smiled so much that her eyes narrowed.
Long Yao's attention was all on the food. He ate his breakfast with great effort and didn't hear what they were saying at all.
After breakfast, Hu Jiaojiao carried the wooden basin and went out with Long Linger.
Long Linger walked in front with light steps. When the orcs on the road saw Long Linger, they all looked at her in amazement.
Several orcs murmured quietly.
"Whose little female is this? She's so pretty."
"How come I didn't know there were such cute pink female cubs in the tribe?"
"I don't know whose little female this is. It would be great if my cub could become her partner in the future."
The beastmen were curious and wanted to go forward to ask, but when they saw Hu Jiaojiao following behind Long Linger, they were stunned. After taking a closer look, they realized that this fair and tender little female looked somewhat similar to Hu Jiaojiao.
At this time, Long Linger ran back to Hu Jiaojiao and called out crisply, "Mother, Aunt Hou Xiang's house is just ahead."
"Well, Ling'er, are you tired?" Hu Jiaojiao asked gently with curved eyebrows.
"Not tired, not at all." Long Linger quickly shook her head. If she wasn't so small and couldn't hold the wooden basin steadily, she should have helped her mother get things.
Hu Jiaojiao smiled. She naturally saw the orcs watching them not far away, but she pretended not to see them and continued walking forward.
Although the original body had a bad personality, she was a first-class beauty. The description of the main villain in the book was also a gloomy and handsome male. With such a strong foundation, the five cubs inherited the advantages of the two and looked more handsome than the other.
It’s just that the cubs had no one to take care of them, and they were dirty, almost hiding their original appearance. They were also so skinny from hunger that they naturally didn’t look very good.
It is normal for the orcs in the tribe to be surprised when they see the difference between Long Ling'er before and after.
When the orcs heard Long Linger's voice, their eyes widened in shock.
Did they hear it right
That fair and tender little female actually calls Fox Jiaojiao "mother"!
Is this the skinny little female from Hu Jiaojiao's family? How come she has become so pretty after just a few days of not seeing her
It's amazing that Hu Jiaojiao can speak to her cub so gently. It's really a blessing in disguise.
To the orcs' surprise, Hu Jiaojiao and Long Ling'er had already walked away.
Soon, the mother and daughter arrived at Hou Xiaotiao's home.
At this time, Hou Xiaotiao had gone out hunting, and Hou Xiang was making breakfast with his two cubs at home. Because there was not much food at home, Hou Xiaotiao only ate one meal a day in the evening, leaving the food for Hou Xiang and the cubs to eat for two meals.
When Hou Xiang looked up, he saw Hu Jiaojiao standing outside the door, and the expression on his face instantly changed from hesitation to surprise.
"Hu Jiaojiao, why are you here? Is there anything you need help with?"
I don’t know if it was out of guilt or because she ate Hu Jiaojiao’s food yesterday, but she was particularly enthusiastic towards Hu Jiaojiao.
Hu Jiaojiao smiled and shook her head, "Didn't I say yesterday that I would make you some lighter food? I made it while cooking this morning and brought it to you."
Upon hearing this, Hou Xiang's eyes lit up.
I couldn't help but rub my hands and look at the wooden basin in Hu Jiaojiao's arms, "How can I be so embarrassed to ask you to personally deliver it to me..."
After saying this, he realized that this was not appropriate and quickly waved his hands.
"No, no, I already ate your food yesterday, I can't eat it again today!"
She and Hou Xiaotiao had hidden Hu Jiaojiao's prey before, and she was already feeling ashamed about it. How could she take advantage of her now
Fox smiled tenderly, "I've already brought it here, you can't ask me to take it back, right?"
Hou Xiang swallowed and still shook his head.
If Hu Jiaojiao was as bad as the rumors said, she could still take advantage of her with a clear conscience. But now she knows that Hu Jiaojiao is a good female who has to work hard to raise five cubs. If she takes advantage of her again, she will be heartless.
"Well, I need to make a few things, but I can't find any orcs to help. If Hou Xiaotiao can do it, these will be his reward." Hu Jiaojiao thought of a compromise.
Originally, she wanted to ask the orcs for help, but few orcs in the tribe were willing to pay attention to her, and she didn't want to trouble her in-laws, so asking Hou Xiaotiao seemed to be the most appropriate person.
After hearing this, Hou Xiang nodded reluctantly, "Okay, tell Hou Xiaotiao whatever you need to do, he's very skilled!"
Fox smiled and agreed.
After opening the wooden basin and seeing the red and green food inside, Hou Xiang was stunned. "Hu Jiaojiao, why are you feeding me grass? Can eating grass make me thinner? Even if I eat grass, it's too little..."
Grass
Hu Jiaojiao glanced at the vegetable and fruit salad in the wooden basin. There were broccoli, lettuce, tomatoes, and apples. Where was the grass
After being stunned for a while, she suddenly remembered something and couldn't help laughing.
Orcs don't eat vegetables. To them, green things are just grass.
"This is not grass, it's edible, try it."
