Chapter 213: Riceball Is Missing

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

After the incident in the afternoon, the relationship between He Yufeng and Su Li seemed to have started to change.

The roof of the Su family’s house was leaking, so He Yufeng volunteered to help repair it.

However, many of the rafters had already decayed and had to be replaced. There wasn’t that much wood at home, so He Yufeng and Su Ze prepared to go up the mountain to cut trees.

Su Li was a little worried. After all, He Yufeng’s waist had been injured before. She did not know if he would get injured again if he went to the mountain to get these things.

“It’s better if you don’t go. Your waist and legs haven’t recovered for long. Don’t let anything happen again.”

He Yufeng knew that she was worried, but he felt that he had almost recovered. It was not a problem for him to chop a few pieces of wood. Moreover, it was not easy for him to come back. How could he not perform well!

“I’ve already recovered. I’ll just go up the mountain and cut a few logs. It won’t be a problem.”

Su Ze also knew about He Yufeng’s injury and hurriedly said, “Brother-in-law, don’t go. I’ll go alone.”

He Yufeng said, “How long are you going to take if you go alone? It’s faster to have more people. Moreover, I’ve already recovered. You can’t let me do nothing like a cripple, right?”

He then looked at Su Li and said, “Don’t worry, I’ll pay attention to it myself.”

Su Li waved her hand. “Alright, whatever you say is right. I can’t be bothered with you.”

Su Ze said from the side, “Sister, don’t worry. I’ll definitely take good care of

Brother-in-law and not let him get injured.”

Su Li glared at him. “Protect yourself first before talking about protecting others!”

Su Ze smiled. “Sis, you have to believe me.”

Su Li waved her hand. “Alright, I believe you. Hurry up and get to work!” He Yufeng and Su Ze went up the mountain with firewood cutting tools.

Su Jidong and Jiao Yuying brought the two children out to visit. These two children were fair and tender. They cherished them very much and would not be able to sleep at night if they did not show them off.

Su Li had nothing to do at home, so she went to the field to look at the chili. This was the first time Su Jidong and Jiao Yuying had planted it. She was afraid that they would not be able to plant it well.

When she reached the field, she realized that she had been thinking too much. Su Jidong and Jiao Yuying were experts at farming. They could harvest anything. Although this was the first time they had planted this chili, with Su Li’s guidance, it was not a problem for them to plant this little thing.

The chili in the ground was lush and the growth was very gratifying. It will bloom and bear fruit soon.

After this batch of chili was collected, winter would be here. They could only plant it next spring.

If they had plastic sheeting, they could also build a large shed. That way, they could plant some anti-seasonal things in the winter. Off-season things would be more expensive, and the quality of life would increase.

However, there was no plastic film for sale here, so she could not make it. When she was free, she would ask Glutinous Ball and see if it could get her some plastic film.

After looking around the field, Su Li called Riceball to prepare to go home.

“Riceball, let’s go home.”

Su Li didn’t hear Riceball’s response, nor did she see it running over.

Su Li looked around but could not find it. She frowned. She still remembered that Riceball was having fun in the fields just now. Why did it disappear in the blink of an eye?

Su Li looked around again but did not see Riceball. She asked the people who were working in the fields, but they all shook their heads and said that they did not see Riceball.

In the past, although Riceball was playful, it never left her sight. Why did it disappear this time? Was it attracted by something?

Su Li searched the vicinity again, but she still couldn’t find Riceball. However, when she thought of Riceball’s powerful dog nose and shocking ability to recognize the way, she thought that it probably wouldn’t lose its way. When Riceball was done playing, it would go home itself.

Su Li did not continue searching and turned around to return home.

Jiao Yuying and Su Jidong had already returned with the children. When they saw Su Li return, they said, “These two children are really smart. Everyone was so envious of us when we brought them out today.”

Thinking of the envious gazes of the villagers today, they could not help but feel proud.

Su Li pursed her lips and smiled. “They are my children, duh.”

Jiao Yuying shook her head with a smile and said, “Continue being narcissistic!”

Su Li smiled coquettishly. “That’s right!”

He Yufeng and Su Ze had also returned from the mountain. They were still carrying the cut wood on their shoulders. The cut wood had to be processed and sawed into thick slices.

Su Jidong also went forward to help. The roof was not going to be renovated so quickly, so they would probably be busy for a few days. Jiao Yuying went forward to help too.

Su Li leaned forward and asked, “Do you need me to do anything?”

He Yufeng looked up at her and said, “Just take care of the two children. Don’t do these things.”

Her hands were so tender, it was not suitable for her to do such a thing.

“Alright then!” Su Li said.

She brought He Qingyao and He Qingmu to play games for a while before assigning them homework for the day.

Soon, it was time to prepare dinner. He Yufeng and the rest were busy, so Su Li went to prepare dinner.

There were still some dishes left for lunch. Su Li simply stir-fried two dishes and heated up the leftovers for lunch.

In the blink of an eye, the sky turned dark. Su Li carried the food into the central room and called out, “Stop working. Wash your hands and eat!”

He Yufeng and the others finished the last thing they were doing before washing their hands and eating.

Su Li prepared Riceball’s portion. “Riceball, let’s eat!”

In the past, Riceball would immediately run over when he heard the word ‘eat’, but today, there was no movement at all.

He Yufeng also noticed this abnormality and asked, “Is Riceball not back yet?”

In the past, that foodie would have been waiting early before it was time to eat. What was going on today? Wasn’t it enthusiastic about eating? This didn’t seem like its style.

Su Li shook her head. “Maybe it was too playful and forgot the time to come back. Let’s ignore it and eat first.”

He Yufeng thought of Riceball’s cunning appearance. If it was left in town, it would run back. He thought that it would definitely not be lost, so he picked up his bowl and started eating.

Even after they were full, Riceball did not return. Su Li could not sit still anymore.

“I’ll go out and look for it!” Su Li said.

Riceball was a little foodie. It was impossible for it to not come back at mealtime.

He Qingyao and He Qingmu’s faces were filled with worry as they said, “Mother, let’s go with you to find it. Riceball is so obedient. It must have encountered something. Otherwise, it wouldn’t have come back for no reason.”

He Yufeng patted their heads and comforted them. “Wait at home. Your mother and I will go look for it together!”

Although that gluttonous puppy was a little annoying at times, it was still alright overall. The two children also played well with it.. If it was lost, the children would be sad!
