The family of three had lunch together. It was said that it was lunch. In fact, it was just a pot of water and whole-grain porridge, with more water and less rice, with some dried yam, and the side dish was a plate of pickled vegetables.
Gukk couldn't swallow it. He could clearly feel the sensation of thick stubble scratching his throat. The snow vegetable was also a ball of pickles; she could only swallow it slowly without any oil.
Gukk looked at Taehyung, who was sitting next to him. Taehyung ate quickly. As if he was eating delicacies from the mountains and the sea. Even the little bun on the opposite side took his own spoon, scooping the porridge one by one, carefully and conscientiously. Little Jae chewed and swallowed the food, eating very seriously, seemingly satisfied.
It seems that this family is indeed poor. With their situation, Taehyung could still spend two taels of silver to buy him. Maybe the two taels of silver were the only money they had. If he didn't transmigrate to this body and the original owner left, Taehyung's loss would be a lot.
Gukk didn't eat the tasteless porridge. First, he couldn't eat it, and second, he had no appetite.
Taehyung saw that he didn't eat much. He frowned, "You don't want to eat it? There is still in the pot. "
Little Jae also looked over curiously because of this.
Gukk shook his head, "I'm full. You should continue to eat. "
Taehyung glanced at Gukk for a moment, nodded, and continued to eat.
Watching his father continue eating, Little Jae lowered his head and picked up the small spoon to scoop it up.
Lunch was finished quickly. Gukk thought that he would live in this family, and he had to integrate into this family, and he stood up and picked up the dishes.
Taehyung stopped him, "You are still sick. Go back and lie down and take a rest. I'll take care of it. "
Gukk shook his head and continued to clean up, "I am almost fine now, and I don't feel any discomfort. I can do these tasks. Let me clean it up. "
Seeing his resolutely, Taehyung no longer stopped him, but he didn't feel at ease. Taehyung followed Gukk into the kitchen.
This is the first time Gukk has seen such a kitchen. The kitchen is not big. A large stove platform is built against a wall. There are two large pots on the stove and tiny pots in the middle. There are many branches, firewood, and hay on the stovetop, which should be used to burn the fire.
Next to the stove, a wooden cabinet was so dark that the original color could not be seen. One foot was gone, and it was padded with stones. Next to the cabinet is a large tank of water.
Gukk understood the things in the kitchen roughly. He put the bowls and chopsticks in his hands into the pot. Gukk picked up the water scoop made of the gourd on the tank's lid, scooped out water from the water tank, put it in the pot, and then placed it back on the lid. Gukk found a rag on the top of the lid and brushed up the bowl.
Although Gukk didn't do much housework in his previous life, and everything was done by an aunty, he still knew how to do basic housework, so he knows how to do it.
Seeing him clean up the bowl, although his movements were not swift but looked very serious, Taehyung was relieved.
‘When I bought him before, I heard the trader roughly say that his background was a big maid from a great family, and a big maid from a big family in the city, knowing that he was more stylish than the Omega’s in the town, and he was raised in a good environment. The daughter-in-law in the village is very different, so he had already prepared that he would not do anything. Now it seems that it is better than he thought. At least he's willing to do something.’
Seeing that there was no problem on his side, Taehyung picked up the pole and the bucket, "I'll go to the village to pick up some water, and I'll be back in a while."
Gukk nodded, but looking at his back carrying the bucket away, he felt a little confused. His legs are so stiff. Can he really come back with two buckets of water? Will it be unstable and fall?
But after thinking about it, he had also picked up the water for the water tank before. It was not the first time that he picked up water. It should be no problem, so Gukk relaxed and washed the dishes carefully.
After washing the dishes and chopsticks, Gukk put the dishes in the upper layer of the cabinet next to them. There were only a few scattered plates inside, and there were only three bowls, all of which had gaps, and none of them were complete.
Gukk sighed. There really isn't a good thing in this home. ‘If you change it, you have to change everything. It's all about money. For the current economic level of this family, that's a luxury thing.’
Gukk opened the door under the cabinet again. There were only two cloth bags inside. One was filled with a small half bag of brown rice. The other was only had little flour. I don't know if it's enough for half a month.
When the kitchen was about to be cleaned up, Taehyung came back with two buckets of water. Gukk saw clearly how Taehyung was carrying water. His leg was limping, and his body was indeed a bit unstable, but he tried to stabilize his upper body. To make the bucket less shaking, so every step he took, not much water was spilled. When he reached the kitchen, there were half of the buckets left in each bucket. All of which is poured into the water tank and makes the water tank full.
Taehyung wiped the sweat from his forehead, watched the kitchen had been cleaned, and let Gukk come back to the room to rest, "It's okay, you can go back to the room and rest."
Gukk couldn't find anything else to do, he nods at him, "Okay, then I'll go back to my room." After thinking about it, he glanced at Taehyung, "Then what about you?"
"I'm going to hoe the weeds in the field now and come back in the evening。"
Gukk thought of the little bun again and went into the hall, but he didn't see anyone and asked Taehyung: "Where's Little Jae?"
Taehyung didn't care. "He went out to play, don't worry about it. He will come back when he's tired. You go and rest now. "
Gukk was a little worried. The little bean ran outside but remembered that this was in ancient times. It seems that the children in the village are like this. Looking at Taehyung, who didn't care, he pursed his lips, no longer said anything and entered the room.
Gukk lay down on the bed, still unable to sleep, staring at the thatch roof above his head.
He didn't know why such a bizarre thing happened to him. He used to think that such a thing would only exist in novels. He didn't expect it to happen to himself, but no matter what, he was given a chance to live again. He should cherish it and live well with this new life.
This is an ancient period. It is unrealistic on your own. All Gukk could do was stay here, have a reasonable identity, and then think of ways to improve his family's conditions.
As for Taehyung, he has no way to choose, but according to his current attitude, he is not bad at all. If he continues to be good, he can cultivate their feelings and become a real couple.
In his previous life, he was devoted to work and unintentionally didn't marry. When he was in his thirties, he wanted to have a family, but he didn't find a suitable partner. Sometimes he was too tired and wanted someone to lean on him but couldn't do it. In the end, he didn't even know what he was desperate for, but life pushed him to rush forward desperately, and he wasn't able to stop. Gukk didn't expect God to stop him in this way.
Maybe, if he changed his lifestyle, he wouldn't have to feel so much pressure, he wouldn't have to fight everything alone, and he would have a partner who shelters him from the wind and rain and a cute little child by his side. That would be an ideal life to live.
Thinking about it this way, he felt it wasn't as bad as he thought it would be.
At that moment, he heard a rustling sound in his ears. Gukk looked at the door and saw a small figure half-hidden outside, only showing his little head. Seeing Gukk looked over, he quickly turned and hide.
Gukk smiled, knowing that Little Jae was still there, and he whispered: "Is it Little Jae? Come inside. "
After speaking, there was no movement from the door.
Gukk waited patiently. After a while, the little head was exposed a little bit, looking at Gukk on the bed with timidity, curiosity, and desire in his eyes.
Gukk smiled more gently, invited him, "Little Jae, Is it okay to come over and see Aunt Gukk?"
Everyone who knew him in his previous life regarded him as a fierce Omega. In fact, few people knew that he actually liked children very much. Every time he sees a baby held by someone, he would look at it secretly. He wanted to kiss and hug each little baby, but unfortunately, he had never had a chance to have a baby of his own.
Seeing Little Jae now, he actually likes him very much. Although he is not his own child, he will regard him as his own child from now on. Gukk didn't mind the issue of whether he was his biological mother or not. As long as he is diligent, the child will know that he is good to him and will give the same response.
Under Gukk's patient persuasion, the little bun finally moved out slowly, slowly approaching Gukk with his small steps, and finally walked to the bed, twisted his tiny hand, and looked at him with his big black and white eyes.
Gukk was enamored by his cute eyes and asked him softly, "Little Jae, how about Aunt Gukk take you to bed? Is it okay? "
The little guy looked at Gukk blankly without speaking.
Gukk asked again, and after a long time, the little guy nodded gently.
Gukk hurriedly sat up, stretched out his hands, and hugged the little bun beside the bed. Although his body was very stiff when he hugged him, he did not struggle and obediently let Gukk embrace him.
Gukk took off his shoes, took off his outer clothes, stuffed him into the quilt, and laid down with the little bun. He was very close to him.
Gukk could feel that Little Jae wanted to approach him but didn't dare to approach him. He was not in a hurry and started talking to him, "Little Jae, how old are you this year?"
Little Jae was a little nervous and stretched out his hands and showed his four fingers; with his milky voice, he said, "Four years old."
Gukk smiled and praised him, "Little Bun is so powerful. He knows that this is four. You are awesome! "
The little guy was so shy when he was praised and completely forgot the tension. His eyes narrowed, and he stretched out a small palm to cover his mouth and smiled secretly under his palm.
Gukk was softened by his small movements. He held one of his hands and made his voice softer. "What did Little Jae play outside?"
Little Jae answered quickly, "I was looking at the little ants who were moving things. The little ant is small, and the thing they were carrying is big!. "
"Oh, isn't it? The little ant is so powerful. " Gukk responded to his words and moved closer to him, holding his small body and gently stroking his back.
Little Jae answered quickly this time, "The little ants are small! but powerful! "
Gukk watched him speak and couldn't help but sigh secretly. This child is really good.
Under Gukk's touch, Little Jae fell asleep while talking.
Gukk looked at him, carefully hugged him in his arms, and soon fell asleep with the little bun.
