Today is a sunny and beautiful weather. The gentle wind blows light ripples on the lake. A group of water birds linger on it. From time to time, it catches a rising fish, attracting cheers from their companions. They are very busy for a while.

Princess Jiaming, who was standing at the bow of the boat, looked interesting and asked with a smile: "This lake has a vast water area, there should be many big fish inside, right?"

Qin Xiaoxiao nodded: "Yes, I remember one year when a big green back was flooded, a 98-pound kilogram pound of green back was washed out from the dam. According to the old people in the village, they lived for at least sixty years. Later, everyone released the fish."

Big fish like this generally tastes bad. Moreover, after living for so long, it seems that the fish has spirituality. Eating or selling it will bring disaster. It is better to let it go and accumulate blessings for future generations.

"I didn't expect this fish to grow so big. I'm afraid this body is about the same as an adult, right?" Princess Jiaming imagined it, and looked at the bottomless lake water and showed a little awe.

Maybe there are bigger fish in the lake. If people accidentally fall down, will they be eaten by these big fish?

Qin Xiaoxiao saw her thoughts and laughed: "Don't be afraid of it, my cousin, most fish do not eat living people. The weather is too hot in summer, and even seven or eight-year-old children in the village dare to go to the lake to play in the water. I haven't seen big fish dragged them to eat for so many years."

Although there is no big fish eating children, there is more than one drowning incident. Fortunately, the village has been safe and sound over the years, even drowning children will be rescued in time. In other villages close to Qinghu, news of drowning people will be heard almost every year.

Seeing her laughing so loudly, Princess Jiaming said embarrassedly: "I have never seen such a big lake, nor have I seen the big fish you mentioned. I just thought of fish eating people for a moment, so don't laugh at me."

Qin Xiaoxiao stopped laughing and pointed to a mountain where he was looking and said, "There is a bamboo forest over there. After we have dinner, we will dig a few fresh bamboo shoots. Then we will hook two fish to stew it and let you taste it. After this season, we will not be able to eat it."

Princess Jiaming had never dug bamboo shoots, had never caught fish, and had never eaten the ingredients she had made. After hearing what she said, she became interested: "Okay, then you have to teach me well."

Qin Xiaoxiao patted her chest and said, "Don't worry, it's not a difficult thing to do, you can see it."

Princess Jiaming was impressed and looked at the green mountains and felt very happy.

While talking and laughing, the boat arrived on the shore, and Qin Xiaoxiao led them to the Qin family.

The breakfast was ready, and it was the steamed buns and the vegetable porridge that Lin Qiuniang and Old Lady Miao got up early in the morning. Seeing Princess Jiaming, they warmly welcomed her and asked her to treat this place as her own home.

Princess Jiaming could feel that they were sincere, and gradually let go of the uncomfortable feeling of first arriving in a strange place, and had a lively chat with the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

The Qin family heard her daughter (granddaughter) say that she was approachable and did not have the airs of a royal princess. Seeing that she was indeed like this, she quickly put down her restraint and treated her as her junior.

After eating and drinking, Qin Xiaoxiao took Princess Jiaming to his room and took out the clothes he had worn before and wore them all. The clothes he wore now are not suitable for work, and it would be a pity if it was dirty or was hooked.

Princess Jiaming did not dislike her. She felt that her clothes were too complicated and not neat enough. Without saying a word, she changed into Qin Xiaoxiao's old clothes and removed the hairpin ring on her head.

The two of them have similar figures and fits them. However, Qin Xiaoxiao grew some flesh after marriage, and after wearing them, she looked graceful and tight. If she didn't feel comfortable working like this, she would likely break her clothes.

She had no choice but to run to Lin Qiuniang's room and find her clothes to put on. She felt relieved.

Maybe she looks good and has a white skin. She looks a little old-fashioned and her old clothes, which is also very dull in color, highlights her charming look. However, there is no dressing mirror in the room, so she naturally didn't notice this.

Princess Jiaming was stunned and then praised: "I heard people say that beautiful people wear sacks with unique charm. I think I have never seen the world before, so I am so exaggerated. Now when I see you, I know that this is true."

Qin Xiaoxiao knew how modest he was in front of her, and waved his hands repeatedly: "Where is there, I really have to wear a sack to go out, and people have designated me to be mentally ill, so how can I confuse people?"

Princess Jiaming smiled pursed her lips and came to the yard with her.

Lin Qiuniang handed them the bamboo shoot digging utensils and reminded them: "Snakes, insects, rats and ants are coming out, be careful."

Qin Xiaoxiao smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'll take Meimei over, it leaps into the forest, and all the things will be scared away."

Speaking of this, her eyes dimmed for a moment and soon returned to normal.

Lin Qiuniang nodded: "Okay, you two go and come back early. I'm afraid that Momo Noo will make trouble if you don't see you for a long time. I can't take them to the mountain to find them."

Qin Xiaoxiao responded, took the basket and the pickaxe that dug bamboo shoots, and called Meme to walk into the bamboo forest at the foot of the mountain with Princess Jiaming, without taking Mingyue and the others.

This bamboo forest is a masterpiece, and anyone can come to cut some bamboos and weave a basket or dig a few bamboo shoots to add dishes.

There are only a few dozen families in the village, and such a large bamboo forest cannot be cut. The bamboo shoots are delicious. If you eat them every day, your stomach will be the first to be unable to bear it. It doesn’t cost much to sell them at the market. At most, it will be dried into dried bamboo shoots for winter eating, so no one will snatch these things.

Before entering the bamboo forest, Qin Xiaoxiao picked up a bamboo pole and knocked it around, driving away snakes and insects that might be hidden in the haystack, so as not to step on it and be bitten.

Princess Jiaming followed suit and picked up one. After knocking it a few times, she spread her hooves and drilled into the forest. From time to time, she ate two bites of bamboo leaves of bamboo that were lying on the ground.

Qin Xiaoxiao didn't dare to walk too deeply, so he chose a random location and took Princess Jiaming over, specifically choosing a place covered with dry bamboo leaves.

It is now late spring, and almost all the bamboo shoots hidden underground are emerging. What they have to do is pick the bamboo shoots that are not many on the ground to dig. Too many of them are usually old, and even if they are stewed for a day and a night, it is useless.

Fortunately, there are some tender bamboo shoots. Qin Xiaoxiao pointed to one of them and said, "Auntie, this is just right. We can dig about ten of them to eat."

Princess Jiaming hurriedly said, "You dig slowly first, I'll look around."

Qin Xiaoxiao didn't want her to do it either. She reminded her to be careful and picked a bamboo shoot that looked pleasing, picked up the pickaxe and dug it up.

The soil in the bamboo forest is quite soft, and after a few digging, it will be finished. In a short while, a bamboo shoot the size of a small arm will be raised.

Qin Xiaoxiao pinched the root and found that he was about to put it in the basket. At this time, he came over and stretched out his long tongue to roll the bamboo shoots into his mouth.

"Don't move, wait until I peel it and you'll eat it." After slapping it on its head, Qin Xiaoxiao peeled off the bamboo shoots helplessly. Seeing Meumai raised her head and staring at her, she was a little funny: "For you to eat, don't act like this greedy look."

"Ba~" bleated, and his head pressed against her waist to act coquettishly.

Qin Xiaoxiao touched it, and it was a bit difficult to peel the bamboo shoots. This thing is tightly fitting with the bamboo shoots, and it is really not easy to peel them layer by layer by layer by hand.

Princess Jiaming came over and couldn't help but say, "It should be able to peel it, right?"

Qin Xiaoxiao glanced at Meimei, and his hands kept moving: "It is old and its teeth are not as big as before. If you ask it to peel a few teeth while eating, it will probably break down."

Princess Jiaming calculated the age of Meimei in her heart and sighed: "You are so nice to it. It is a blessing to have you as a master!"

Qin Xiaoxiao smiled and said, "Without it, I might starve to death. What's the point of peeling bamboo shoots?"

Just as she looked at the increasing white hair on Meimei's body, her heart felt like a big stone was blocked, and she could hardly maintain the smile on her face.

She peeled off the last piece of bamboo shoot skin and handed the white and tender bamboo shoot meat to Meimei. Meimei's tongue ate it with relish, but even Princess Jiaming could see that its teeth were very bad. Not to mention that it was chewing very slowly, the slightly hard bamboo shoot roots fell off several times.

Qin Xiaoxiao was afraid that it would chew its teeth into pieces, so he kicked away the bamboo shoots that fell to the ground. As a result, it ran to pick them up, so he let it go and continued to dig a bamboo shoot.

After digging for about half an hour, the two of them dug up more than a dozen, so they put away their things and walked back. Halfway through the way, a few black wild raccoons jumped out, which scared Princess Jiaming.

Fortunately, she had seen Hei Tan and knew that Qin Xiaoxiao was attracted by Hei Yeli. When she saw this group of fluffy, her hands were ready to move. However, she knew that Hei Yeli was a wild beast and would not have a good temper towards her, so she watched from the side that she didn't dare to do anything.

These black wild raccoons were just walking down the mountain. When they smelled Qin Xiaoxiao's smell, they followed. Now they saw her rubbing hard as usual, and a few of them were pulling her arms, hoping that they could let her hug her.

Since Qin Xiaoxiao lived in the capital for a long time, they have rarely had the chance to see her. They finally got the chance, but they still couldn't stick to her.

Qin Xiaoxiao let them act coquettishly and found that they were not chubby. Worries appeared on her face and decided to go to the mountain in the afternoon to see the situation.

Several black wild raccoons rubbed her hair and refused to leave. They followed them into the Qin family's yard, walking twice as if they were patrolling their own homes, eliminating all possible dangers.

Soon, they found that they were being led by Mr. Qin, Mrs. Miao, and were learning to walk, and immediately came over with them in a daze.

The beasts have much more sensitive sense of smell than humans, and they can distinguish relatives through smell. Obviously, they know that these two little guys are Qin Xiaoxiao's two cubs, so they naturally want to get close to each other.
