Chapter 444
She was stunned for a few seconds, and then said helplessly, "Oh, then you can think about it, as long as you think about it..."

Willing to consider, this shows that his attitude has begun to soften, and it is much better than a firm rejection, right?

"But can you get up now?"

Yun Xi gave him a gentle push on his chest. He had just returned from the production team and hadn't eaten yet.

Oh, I haven't washed it yet, and my body is exuding a faint smell of soil.

Her hands were soft and warm, and the contact with the skin brought an extremely strange touch. Ding Ye froze instantly, and the nerves in his whole body tensed up. The next moment, as if he had been stabbed, he quickly bounced up and got off the bed. , far away from Yunxi.

In the darkness, he clenched his fists tightly, then turned around and retreated quickly, with staggering steps, as if he was running away.

Ah……

The corners of Yun Xi's lips curled up, she sat up slowly, and looked at the direction he left.

……

Ding Ye was indifferent by nature, so after exiting the house, he had already calmed down. He pursed his lips, took a basin of cold water, and took it to the stone table in the yard to wash up.

After he finished washing, he went to the kitchen again.

A few years ago, my father offended someone, and my mother was greatly stimulated. Since then, she was seriously ill and was bedridden. Not long after, she also passed away.

After that, Ding Ye was the only one left in the sparsely populated Ding family. Therefore, no one in the family cooked for him. Hands to fill the stomach.

In this era, there was no electricity or gas, so cooking was done with fire, fueled by firewood or coal.

In the dark, Ding Ye put the hay for the fire in the stove, and lit it with matches. It was raining outside today, and the pressure at the air outlet of the chimney was too high, so the smoke couldn't get out, and all came out along the stove.

After a while, the kitchen was filled with smoke, which made Ding Ye's eyes hurt.

He narrowed his eyes into a thin slit, then picked up the tattered cattail fan at his feet, and fanned it against the stove.

The fan can reduce the pressure of the air outlet, some smoke is fanned out from the chimney, and the air in the kitchen gradually improves.

After the firewood in the stove was almost exhausted, Ding Ye added charcoal to it. Charcoal was not as easy to ignite as firewood, and it was easy to extinguish.

If it is extinguished, all his time and the firewood used to start the fire will be wasted, so Ding Ye took care of it carefully.

After the charcoal was completely ignited, he put down his fan and got up to cook.

The water in the pot had already boiled, and Ding Ye habitually scooped up a bowl of bran and prepared to pour it in. Rural people eat very simple, as long as they can fill their stomachs, they don't pay much attention to tricks.

Of course, even if you want to pay attention, there is no such condition.

In this era of scarcity of supplies, there was very little food. The villagers got up early and worked hard every day to earn work points, but they didn't get much food all year round.

With more people and less land, coupled with natural disasters, etc., the grain harvest in the village is very bad. If the harvest is not good, how can the villagers get enough grain?
It is obviously impossible to live on food.

Therefore, the villagers mixed everything they could eat with food to barely survive.

For example, various grains such as chaff, rice husks, wheat straw, corn cobs, sweet potato leaves, wild vegetables, wild fruits, etc...

Most of these things are eaten daily. On the other hand, the grain that was originally used as food is rarely eaten. The villagers mostly exchange grain for money, cloth and other daily necessities.

Or, when there are major festivals, the family will be extravagant once.

As for the oil used in cooking, it is even more precious. Therefore, most of the villagers cook and eat. If anyone eats a meal of cooking, it will arouse the envy of all the villagers in the village.

Ding Ye was just about to pour the chaff into it, when he suddenly thought of Yun Xi in the room, and subconsciously stopped.

He pursed his lips, turned around and poured back the chaff in the bowl, and scooped some miscellaneous grains in a broken jar.

The miscellaneous grains include millet, broken rice, corn kernels, sorghum kernels, etc., which are the grains he received last year, and he mixed all kinds of them together.

It's only early spring this year, and the seeds haven't been planted yet, so it's still early to distribute the grain.

As soon as Ding Ye put the grain in, he heard footsteps, and then the kitchen staff were pushed away, and Yun Xi walked in, holding a bright object in his hand, which instantly illuminated the entire kitchen.

"Why don't you light the lamp?"

There is no electricity, but there are kerosene lamps or candles, which are used for lighting.

Working in the dark like this, Yun Xi was really worried that he would run into him.

"There are no candles in the house, and no kerosene."

He was the only one at home, and he had very good eyesight. At night, as long as he was not blind, it would hardly affect him, so he didn't prepare those things.

Ding Ye said something lightly, his eyes fell on the shiny ball in her hand, a little strange.

What is this, it is brighter than a kerosene lamp, he has never seen it before.

Yun Xi obviously didn't expect that he didn't even have kerosene, let alone candles, after all, in this day and age, candles are rare things and the price is not cheap.

But is it really okay to not even prepare kerosene?

This guy is simply a standard bachelor, and only a bachelor can live such a rough life.

"what is this?"

Ding Ye endured it, but he still couldn't hold back his thirst for knowledge.

Hearing his words, Yun Xi followed his gaze and looked at the bead in her hand, which was the crystal of a kind of divine beast in the God Realm.

This kind of divine beast emits light all over its body, just like a light source, so it is called a light beast.

The beast crystal of the Light Beast is called a light bead. During the day, it looks like a glass ball, but at night, it emits a bright light, which is many times brighter than a night pearl.

She saw that the beads were pretty, so she collected a few of them, unexpectedly, they would come in handy now.

"This is the night pearl, do you like it, and give it to you?"

Yun Xi curled her lower lip, and handed him the pearl of light in her hand.

In fact, light pearls are many times more valuable than luminous pearls, because light pearls are the things of gods and beasts, they contain divinity, and are very beneficial to mortals.

Ordinary people who have been in contact with light beads for a long time can strengthen their bodies and prevent all evils from invading.

Night Pearl?
Isn't this a legendary treasure?

Even though he was as calm as Ding Ye, he was shocked in his heart. Unexpectedly, in his lifetime, he would be able to see the night pearl.

"No, it's too expensive, I don't want it, you'd better keep it yourself."

Ding Ye didn't reach out to pick it up, but took a step back, paused, and said suddenly, "There are many thieves in the village, you'd better not carry such a valuable thing with you, and be careful not to lose it."

 The next one is a repeat, don't order it, come to brush it tomorrow morning
