Tian Jing went to Eagle Beak to roast rabbit skins every day, bringing back that day's grain.
Li Zhenguo took Chen Suozhu and worked overtime to make furniture needed in the Eagle Beak mountain cave.
They only made parts and didn't assemble them, and the finished parts disappeared the next day. The lumber remained the same, and Chen Suozhu endured without asking.
Seeing that he could hold back, Li Zhenguo didn't explain.
A few days later, he arranged for Chen Suozhu to work alone, as he was going to accompany his wife up the mountain.
Chen Suozhu looked at Li Min, who was knitting a sweater.
Li Zhenguo understood. "Minmin, if Suozhu needs any help, you can lend him a hand."
"Uh, okay."
On Eagle Beak, no, on Green Pine Rock, Li Zhenguo was hammering and joining door panels for the cave.
Tian Jing watched, feeling anxious. She simply pressed her hands on it, and with a few clicks, the door panels were joined.
Li Zhenguo looked at the person smiling with pursed lips, pulled her into his arms, and kissed the person he had longed for for days.
Lately, they returned to their room too late at night, and Tiantian was already asleep. He couldn't bear to wake her.
In the morning, he was busy getting up to rush to work. His Tiantian slept like a little pig, and he still couldn't bear to wake her.
Now, with the two of them alone, his Tiantian was still seducing him, and it was difficult for him to resist.
Tian Jing missed him too. She stood on tiptoe to cooperate with him.
Li Zhenguo gasped. Was his Tiantian trying to kill him? Yes, he would give it to her.
Li Zhenguo only let go after kissing the person in his arms until her legs felt weak. He held his little troublemaker tightly. "Are you still causing trouble?"
Tian Jing listened to the joyful heartbeat in her ear, her heart filled with sweetness, almost overflowing.
"I'm not causing trouble, I just saw you were too slow. There are only three doors, and there are still cabinets and a bed to be made. I was in a hurry."
Li Zhenguo rested his chin on the head of the person in his arms. "We won't make a bed. I plan to build a heated brick bed, and then a few cabinets will be enough."
"That's good. If we build a heated brick bed, we can use materials from the mountain. Hurry up and assemble the door panels."
As Li Zhenguo assembled the door panels, Tian Jing helped him by holding them steady. She also communicated with Little Pine using her divine sense.
Little Pine saw her intimacy with Li Zhenguo and curiously asked questions, becoming a veritable "why" machine.
Annoyed by the questions, Tian Jing pretended not to hear and stopped communicating with it.
This made Little Pine anxious. "Tiantian, Tian Jing, why aren't you talking? Are we unable to communicate again? It was finally someone I could talk to, how did it suddenly stop?"
"Oh, right, now there's electricity. Many things can be used by plugging them in. Do we need to plug in electricity between us?"
"Pfft," Tian Jing couldn't help but burst into laughter. This Little Pine, alone, er, as a tree, could perform a stand-up comedy show.
Li Zhenguo looked up at Tian Jing. "What are you laughing at?"
"I'm laughing at Little Pine. It's talking to me."
"Oh, you have to be careful not to let it trick you into saying anything," Li Zhenguo lowered his head and continued his work.
"Even if it tricks me, who can it tell?"
"No," Li Zhenguo looked up and said seriously, "I mean, don't let it trick you into revealing your weaknesses, so it doesn't bully you."
"I know."
Tian Jing gave him a radiant smile, mesmerizing him and making him want to drop his work and embrace her again.
"No, hurry up and work. Don't be lazy," Tian Jing glared at him playfully.
It was better not to glare, but in Li Zhenguo's eyes, this look was completely him flirting, inviting him.
Kissed again, Tian Jing angrily kissed him back, kissing him until he gasped repeatedly, his heart pounding as if it would leap out of his chest, before she let him go.
Then, seeing the expression on his face, Tian Jing unashamedly burst into hearty laughter. It was too funny, like a big girl who had been violated.
"Tiantian."
Li Zhenguo was embarrassed. How could he be made shy by Tian Jing's kiss?
Tian Jing jumped into his arms.
Li Zhenguo quickly reached out to catch her, held her steadily, and pecked her lips. "Being mischievous again, what if you fall?"
"If I fall, you'll be the cushion underneath, so I won't be the one hurting."
"But what about your legs?"
Tian Jing looked down at her legs wrapped around his waist and stuck out her tongue. "Okay, my mistake. Next time, I'll tell you in advance."
"As long as it's not on this kind of rock, whether it's in the fields or on the bed, you can pounce on me as much as you want."
"Pervert."
Tian Jing jumped out of his embrace. "Hurry up and get to work. Stop dragging your feet and dawdling."
Then, Little Pine had another question.
Tian Jing asked it why.
"Little Pine, why do you know about electricity? The place where you are is quite far from any place with electricity."
"I asked. I can also communicate with other trees. When I have nothing to do, I chat with the trees at the foot of the mountain. The trees at the foot of the mountain then chat with the trees next to them. By chatting like this, I learned a lot of new things."
Eh? Tian Jing became interested. "Then how do you chat? Do you have memories? For example, if I want to know about things from yesterday, the day before yesterday, or many days ago, can they remember clearly and explain them if I ask them?"
"Yes, as long as it doesn't exceed the capacity of their memory, they can definitely explain it clearly. For things they can't explain, you can directly check their memories."
"How do you communicate and check this?"
"If you give them good food, you can ask them directly and check their memories directly. They have no use for those memories."
So simple? Just like Little Green!
Only she had never checked Little Green's memories, and Little Green's memories were too simple, with too few people and things it had encountered, so she hadn't thought deeply about it.
The three doors were installed and locked. Li Zhenguo hugged her and kissed her again before carrying the roasted rabbit skins down the mountain.
Down the mountain, after Li Zhenguo and Tian Jing left, Chen Suozhu mustered up his courage and called Li Min over.
When Li Min came over and couldn't help, she knew that Chen Suozhu's request for help was an excuse. She generously chatted with Chen Suozhu. Chatting allowed them to understand each other.
Chen Suozhu's work was not slow.
However, someone couldn't stand it and came over to seek attention.
"Minmin, are you all better?"
Li Min looked up at Zhang Fangcao, who was not far away. Looking at this woman now, she felt like a lifetime had passed.
Why was she so foolish before? She had been blind for three years to this kind of superficial affection that could be seen through at a glance.
"Comrade Minmin, you haven't reached your full moon yet. Please stay away from my home."
"Minmin, I wasn't targeting you that day. You should know who I was targeting, and you should understand my heart."
Looking at Zhang Fangcao's overly dramatic expression, Li Min, who had seen through her true face, finally understood why her elder brother found her disgusting. She looked disgusting like this too.
"Comrade Minmin, I don't know who you were targeting, and I don't understand your heart. You should let Aiguo's cousin understand your heart, otherwise, you'll be embarrassing."
Li Min's schadenfreude made Zhang Fangcao's face turn unpleasant. "Minmin, you've changed."
"You've changed too. Before, you were wholeheartedly planning for me."
"That day, when you spoke up for Er Laizi at my engagement, I told myself in my heart that the Fangcao sister who used to care for me was dead."
