The peasant daughter of the crossing

Chapter 188

It's best to hunt some rabbits and pheasants... In that case, the family can continue to feed them.

Once back to the old house, Saburo found out the things he usually used to go up the mountain, and prepared to go up the mountain.

"Sanlang, don't go into the deep mountains! Just walk around outside." Ruhua worried that it would be dangerous for Sanlang to go into the deep mountains alone, so she repeatedly instructed him.

"Hmm! I won't go into the deep mountains." In fact, there is no need for Ruhua to say that Saburo will not go into the deep mountains, because he still has a lot of things to protect, so he will not allow himself to be in any danger.

"Well! Come back earlier then."

"Ok!"

"Mother, Daddy is very powerful, so don't worry!"

On the contrary, Xiaobao is very relieved of Saburo!Maybe this is the child's confidence in his father!
Originally, I went to the fields to harvest rice today, but how did I know that Sanlang had not returned until the afternoon when he went up the mountain.So there is only one Ruhua going to the field.

In ancient times, Ruhua experienced many firsts.

It is also the first time to harvest rice this time.So when Ruhua rolled her trousers and went to the paddy field, she was still shy, like a big girl who just got on the sedan chair.

"Mother, why don't you wait for Daddy to come back before doing it!" Looking at his mother's cautious look, Xiaobao was really afraid that she would accidentally fall into the paddy field.

"No, it's okay, I should be fine." Ruhua turned her head and smiled at Xiaobao, then bent over to prepare to harvest the rice.

"Mother, be careful with the sickle! Don't cut your hands off..." Xiao Bao was talking like a little old man.

"Xiaobao! Why do you talk so much?" Ruhua bent over and glanced back at Xiaobao, and then only gave Xiaobao a buttock.

"Oh! I'm not worried about mother kissing you..." Xiaobao murmured aggrievedly.

Although it was not the first time to use a sickle, it was still somewhat difficult to cut the straw, so Ruhua moved very slowly, fearing that she might accidentally hurt her hands.

Thanks to the previous experience in harvesting corn stalks, it didn't take long this time.And the action is getting faster and faster.

In the evening, Ruhua had harvested a whole row.

Since Ruhua hasn't learned how to bundle straw with bamboo slices, she can only put the straw into the basket and carry it home little by little.

Xiaobao is also obedient, and he is happy only if he hugs a small bundle every time. Although Xiaobao only hugs a little each time, it helps anyway.

Finally, when she moved the last bit of straw home, Ruhua found that the moon was already hanging high in the sky, accompanied by a little bit of starlight...

But Saburo hasn't come home yet.

"Xiaobao, you're hungry! Let's cook!" After tidying up the straw, it piled up into a hill, and Ruhua remembered that she hadn't eaten yet after being so busy.

"Ok!"

Because of the experience from last time, Ruhua was a little calmer about Saburo's late return this time.

Sure enough, before the meal was ready, Saburo came back.

"Ruhua, Xiaobao, I'm back."

"It's Daddy who's back." Xiao Bao, who was sitting in front of the stove and lighting a fire, ran out immediately when he heard the voice.

Although Ruhua was not as excited as Xiaobao, she was happy in her heart, and she was also curious about what Sanlang hunted, so she walked to the kitchen door and looked into the yard.

"Daddy, Daddy, what did you hunt this time?" Xiaobao jumped around Sanlang as soon as he went out.

Sanlang was embarrassed when he heard Xiaobao's question, and then he heard Sanlang say apologetically, "Xiaobao, I'm sorry! Daddy only hunted a pheasant this time."

This was originally said to Xiaobao, but Ruhua still knew that Sanlang said it to her.He should be treating her...

Did Saburo really kill her tigress?He didn't catch prey, and she wouldn't scold him!

"Sanlang, you're hungry! Come in, we're ready to eat." Ruhua saw that Saburo had been on the go all day, so she hurriedly asked Sanlang to come in and sit down before talking.

"I'll come when I put the pannier in the main room." Saying this, San Lang entered the room, put down the pannier, and then went to the kitchen.

"Sanlang, the water here, wash your hands!" Seeing Sanlang enter the kitchen, Ruhua scooped up a scoop of hot water and mixed some cold water by the way. After trying it, the temperature was moderate.

When Saburo washed his hands, he remembered the straw he saw in the yard just now, "You went to harvest the rice in the afternoon, didn't you say you were waiting for me?"

"Didn't you go up the mountain and didn't come back? So I'm busy first." Ruhua saw that the dishes in the pot were cooked, so she took out the bowls and chopsticks from the night out, and prepared to eat.

Saburo wiped the water from his hands, walked to the table and sat down, and said, "It's really unlucky to say that going up the mountain today, if this time of the year is changed, the prey are busy storing food for the winter, there should be quite a lot of prey, but Who knew that today was so unlucky, I only hunted a pheasant all afternoon, so I came back a bit late."

"Oh! It's okay, it's better to hunt one than nothing." Ruhua put the food on the table, pulled a bench and sat down by herself, and called Xiaobao who was still inside the room, "Hurry up, Xiaobao!" Come to eat."

"Daddy, Daddy, what is this?" Xiaobao ran over, holding a red tomato-like thing in his hand.

Sanlang saw that the thing in Xiaobao's hand was a fruit he had picked from the mountain. He was going to satisfy his hunger, but he didn't know that it would be very bitter when he took a bite, so he threw the remaining one into the basket. This should have been taken out of the back basket, "I don't know what it is, it's just very unpalatable, just play with it."

"Is it hard to eat?" Xiao Bao's face that was still a little bit of joy immediately darkened. He thought it was some delicious fruit, but how could he know it was bad?

"Hmm! The taste is very bitter, and my mouth feels astringent after eating it." After saying this, Saburo started eating. He hasn't eaten much today, so Saburo is still quite hungry.

As soon as Xiaobao heard this, he was ready to throw away the things in his hand and eat, but Ruhua had sharp eyes and recognized the things in Xiaobao's hands. Isn't it just a persimmon?No wonder Saburo said it was very bitter.
