Return to 1983: Starting from hunting in the mountains

Chapter 10: The geese plucking their feathers, leaving no one behind

"Seeing my mother eating the two little breast dumplings was simply more joyful than Lu Jiansheng's.

"Uuuu~Tangtang also wants to feed daddy."

Tangtang said in a milky voice.

"Sixi wants it too."

How could Lu Jiansheng refuse to be fed by his two lovely daughters? Just like this, almost a small bowl of lard residue was eaten by four people. Of course, Bai Ruoxi and Lu Jiansheng spared it for the two little guys. Lu Jiansheng then placed the jar of lard in the corner of the earthen stove, and then looked at it as it was already noon, and he started to prepare for cooking.

Lu Jiansheng first took out the rice he bought today and started preparing the rice. He didn't want Bai Ruoxi's daughter to eat the moldy sweet potato rice again.

It's just that Lu Jiansheng almost washed most of the fine grains he just bought in one go, which made Bai Ruoxi a little reluctant to part with it.

However, Lu Jiansheng was the head of the family after all, so she had no choice but to be obedient in the end. The only drawback was that the dish was a little broth left over from yesterday, with some wild vegetables added to it.

Soon the fragrant rice will come out of the pot. The rice these days does not have any chemical fertilizers, and the steamed rice has a sweet and refreshing aroma.

"Since none of them are coming back, then don't blame me for killing them all."

Thinking of this, Lu Jiansheng gritted his teeth and immediately went to the place where he hunted pheasants yesterday.

Soon Lu Jiansheng came to the place where he found the pheasants yesterday, but to his disappointment, none of the pheasants that escaped yesterday came back.

However, the rice and noodles bought with this little money could not last for two days, which made Lu Jiansheng want to go hunting in the mountains immediately.

It’s all my fault for being too greedy! Thinking that the group of pheasants would fly back, Lu Jiansheng put the pheasants in his arms, then hurried home in the rain with a knife in his waist and a bow and arrow on his back.

Although Bai Ruoxi was worried, when she saw Lu Jiansheng's determined eyes and the two little guys, she didn't say anything more and just reminded Lu Jiansheng to pay attention to safety.

Lu Jiansheng nodded, glanced at Bai Ruoxi and waved to the two little guys, then left home, and then he rushed to Bai Changshan without stopping.

We usually eat sweet potato rice at home, and in the best case, we eat whole grains. Rice made from this kind of fine grains tastes delicious when topped with pheasant soup.

Lu Jiansheng's hand holding the knife was almost stiff! In this weather, with rain dripping down my hair, my vision was blocked, let alone hunting.

Although Lu Jiansheng was unwilling to do so, he did not dare to stay in the mountains for too long, because in such a cold weather, if his jacket got wet in the rain! Making him sick would surely be a disaster for the family.

Lu Jiansheng couldn't help but burst out, suddenly thinking of those wild eggs, so he immediately walked towards the haystack where the wild eggs were found yesterday.

After finishing their meal quickly, Lu Jiansheng and Bai Ruoxi exchanged a few words, then took their knives, bows and arrows and prepared to go hunting in the mountains.

More than an hour later, Lu Jiansheng arrived at Baichang Mountain, but this time his luck was not as good as yesterday. Not long after Lu Jiansheng entered the mountain, something bad happened.

"Ah."

……

There were only twenty-three wild eggs in total! There were two nests among them, and I don’t know what had eaten them! This made Lu Jiansheng regretful. He should have searched everything yesterday.

But when he thought of Bai Ruoxi and the little guy at home, he was unwilling to get nothing.
  After hesitating for a moment, he suddenly thought of the place where he found the pheasants yesterday. Maybe the pheasants were back again.

Seeing the oily mouths of the two little guys, Lu Jiansheng smiled and started eating. At this time, he once again deeply felt how difficult it was to walk such a long distance without eating in this era. Hungry.

Lu Jiansheng continued to plucking the feathers of the wild geese, picking up all the wild eggs in the haystack without leaving any behind.

It was already cold weather, but it suddenly started raining in the sky! Although the rain was not heavy, it made the already cold weather even colder now.

Bai Ruoxi is at the door of the courtyard at the moment

Looking into the distance,

The cold wind made her fair cheeks turn red, and the rain in the sky made her a little worried. After all, it had been raining for a while, and Lu Jiansheng should have come back long ago. However, there was no one outside. Bai Ruoxi planned to lock the child in the house and look for it herself.

"Mom, hasn't dad come back yet?"

Two little guys ran over from the main room on their short legs.

"Why are you here? It's cold here! Go back quickly."

Bai Ruoxi urged, although the courtyard door beam could block the rain, it could not block the biting cold wind.

"Woo! Tangtang wants to wait for daddy with mommy."

"Xixi! I want it too."

The two little guys were each holding Bai Ruoxi's legs. Bai Ruoxi was about to take the two little guys back to the house.

Suddenly, I heard Xixi shouting: "Mom, dad is back, dad is back."

As he spoke, his short legs took a step forward and he immediately ran over in the light rain, and Tangtang followed him in a hurry.

Lu Jiansheng held wild eggs in his arms. Although the rain was not heavy, after being delayed in the mountains for so long, his jacket and trousers did not last long, and they were soaked before he got home.

The cold wind made his whole body stiff!
  Lu Jiansheng couldn't help but blush when he saw the two little guys coming over, jumping in front of him for a hug, and seeing Bai Ruoxi's cheeks flushed behind them.

Why are these three "silly girls" waiting for him here?

"Go back quickly, dad's clothes are wet."

Bai Ruoxi looked at Lu Jiansheng who had returned, and she felt relieved, and then quickly picked up the two little guys.

"Why are you back? It's been raining for a long time. Come in and change your clothes." She looked at Lu Jiansheng with red eyes.

"Lu Jiansheng didn't know Bai Ruoxi's worries, but he didn't say anything because all his words seemed redundant at this time.

After he brought the child and Bai Ruoxi into the room, Bai Ruoxi urged him to change clothes.

"Don't rush to change. Unfortunately, it rained this time and I didn't catch any prey, but I brought this for you." Lu Jiansheng said, placing the wild eggs in his arms in front of Bai Ruoxi.

"Oooh~Eggy."

Xixi said in a sweet voice.

"Dad, is this an egg? But why are the eggs so small?" Tangtang said.

"This is a wild egg!"

"Tangtang Xixi has eggs to eat today!"

Lu Jiansheng explained. At this time, Bai Ruoxi quickly brought a bowl, filled the wild eggs one by one, and then quickly urged Lu Jiansheng to go into the house to change clothes.
  After Lu Jiansheng changed his clothes, he couldn't help but feel distressed when he looked at Bai Ruoxi and Tangtang Xixi's red cheeks from the cold.

"You are stupid, wait for me to come back! You can't just wait in the house, why are you still standing at the door of the yard?"

"Look at you and the little guy's faces being frozen. I feel so sad."

Lu Jiansheng couldn't help but lectured.

Although Bai Ruoxi was a little aggrieved by being taught a lesson by Lu Jian, she felt sweet in her heart. It was just that Lu Jiansheng's words made people feel embarrassed to hear them. What do you mean, I felt so distressed and it was so bad to be heard.

Lu Jiansheng looked at the shabby cotton-padded jackets worn by Bai Ruoxi and the two little guys, especially Tangtang's cotton-padded shoes filled with patches. He didn't know when the holes in the shoes had burst, exposing the white and tender little feet.
