Xiuse Farmhouse

Chapter 8

I plan to bring a pheasant and a rabbit to Brother Yang's house, and I will make two birds in the evening, and the remaining pheasants and rabbits will be exchanged for some money at the market tomorrow.

Just do what you say, Baishou immediately went to the kitchen to boil hot water, put the bird in the basin according to the method my daughter-in-law said last time, boiled it in hot water, and began to pluck the hair. After the hair was plucked, the big bird became little bird.He took a knife and gutted the bird.

Going to the back of the house, I picked some vegetables from the vegetable garden in an open space on the uphill road. This vegetable garden is the only one in Baishou. I have turned around the house several times, but never walked up the mountain road, so She never found out that there was a vegetable garden over there, but she also saw it later.

When Wanwan got up, the room was filled with darkness, and it looked very dark outside the small window. She let out a groan, and walked out of the main room, just in time to see a few prey at the door.

Smiling softly, it turns out that Baishou has returned.

Baishou was cooking in the kitchen, when he saw Wanwan coming in, he immediately grinned, "Daughter-in-law, you're up."

"When did you come back, why didn't you call me?" He glanced into the pot.

"You have done so much work today, I think you are tired, I want you to rest for a while."

Wanwan blushes, since she came to this place, she hardly has to do anything, even Baishou washes the bowls for eating every day, now she is afraid that Baishou will tire her out with such a little work, where can she find such a thing? Good man!

"how are you today?"

Looking back from the pot, Wanwan saw that a bowl of meat had been fried in a bowl next to the stove, and there were small pieces of meat. She took a closer look and found two bird heads, and exclaimed: " Ah, is this the bird you shot?"

"Ah."

It's a pity, if you add some chili, the sauce will be so fragrant!

Seeing her pity, Baishou couldn't help asking: "What's the matter, don't you like to eat?"

"Oh, no. What did you call back but birds?"

"Two rabbits and two pheasants, next time I go to the mountains, I will fetch you something else to eat."

"Are there many things in this mountain?" Wanwan asked.

"There are no animals on our mountain. Today, these prey were caught on another mountain. If you want to hunt bigger things, you have to climb a few more mountains and go deep into the mountains." The daughter-in-law rarely asked these questions. Baishou explained patiently.

Wanwan nodded, because there are many things in the deep mountains, the danger is greater, and he told him: "Don't go to the mountains that are too deep, it is dangerous."

Hearing his daughter-in-law's concern, Baishou felt sweet in his heart.

"Then did you give the things to Brother Yang and the others?"

"No, didn't you ask me to wait for you yesterday!"

"Then when this dish is cooked, let's take the things over, and it's time for dinner to be made in a while."

Baishou responded with a muffled voice, quickly put the vegetables into bowls, and the two of them went down the mountain with a pheasant and a rabbit, and walked towards the village. It was getting late, and the people working in the field had almost returned to the village. At home, there are several children playing on the road in the village.

Wanwan looked around while walking, this village is backed by mountains, unlike the places with convenient transportation she saw on TV before, occasionally some businessmen or outsiders pass by.Looking at the terrain, this place is basically a mountainous area.

Some cabbages and radishes are planted in the field. Their village is not big, there are probably dozens of households, and the neighboring villages are not far from here.At the end of the village, there is a river at the foot of the mountain, where people usually wash their clothes.

In a purely primitive natural environment, it would be nice if the house could be built.The family has no capital and can't do business. Baishou can't get much money by hunting every day. They have to find other livelihoods. I don't know why Baishou lives on the mountain. If he doesn't want to, they will rebuild on the mountain. The house is fine too.

Their family is probably the poorest in the village. When she has money, she will decorate the house beautifully.

Bend planned like this.

Baishou followed without saying a word, carrying the prey.

Walking into the village, Wanwan stopped, turned around, and asked, "Which one is it?"

Baishou frowned and said, "We still have to move forward."

The two continued to walk inward, Baishou frowned more and more as they walked, and turned a corner. Several children were playing on the road. Several children looked at Wanwan curiously. When they saw Baishou behind, they suddenly rushed away scattered.

At this time, Baishou called to stop Wanwan, and gave her the prey in his hand: "The fourth one in front, you go, I'll wait for you here."

"Oh." Wanwan glanced at him and took the things.

Passing by a farmhouse, the children inside looked at Wanwan curiously through the sparsely opened door, and walked to the fourth house. The courtyard door was closed, and the outer courtyard wall was made of stone. A woman's voice came: "Who is it?"

A woman opened the door with a piece of cloth around her waist. It looked like she was cooking. Wanwan vaguely remembered that it was Yuan Baoniang, who smiled and called, "Hello, sister-in-law."

Seeing that it was Wan Wan, Yuan Baoniang was extremely surprised, and when she came back to her senses, her face became a little unnatural.

"This is Baishou playing on the mountain today. Thank you Brother Yang and sister-in-law for saving each other by the river last time. I hope you don't dislike it." Wanwan smiled and handed the thing over.

Yuan Baoniang didn't answer, and subconsciously shrank back, her face was a little embarrassed.

At this time Yuan Bao's father came out from the house: "His mother, who is it?"

Yuan Baoniang turned her body sideways, and Yuan Bao's father was also stunned when he saw that it was curved.

"Hi Brother Yang, this is what Baishou made on the mountain today, thank you for saving us by the river last time." Wanwan said with a smile, and put the things at the door.

She could tell that no one in this village wanted to have any contact with the couple.

It's a pity that she doesn't have the memory of her true self. Since others don't like her husband and wife, why bother to be annoying, it's their intention to give things, and it's someone else's business whether to accept them or not.

It wasn't until Wan Wan's back disappeared around the corner that Yuan Baoniang looked away, looking at the things on the ground with a complicated expression, a little embarrassed.Turning around to look at Yuan Bao's father who was busy in the yard, pointing at the two prey, he asked, "His father, what should we do?"

Father Yuan Bao glanced at the door, pondered for a moment, and said, "Bring it in!"

"But if we eat this, we won't be in bad luck, right?" Yuan Baoniang hesitated.

Sighing secretly, Father Yuan Bao put down what he was doing, walked to the door and brought in the two prey on the ground, and said: "We have no blood relationship with him, and we don't live together, so what are we afraid of if we just give him something?"

"But the villagers never..."

Before Yuan Baoniang could finish speaking, she was interrupted by Yuan Bao's father: "Do you also believe those women who talk nonsense?"

Yuan Baoniang still hesitated: "After all, he hasn't had any contact with the villagers for so many years."

"I said you people are just talking nonsense all day long." At this time, Grandma Yuan Bao came out of the house carrying beans, she moved a low stool to sit under the eaves, and began to pick beans: "Is this life good?" It has something to do with his own destiny. In destiny, there are times when he needs it, and there is no time to force it. Our life is the destiny of ordinary people. Why is it that some people are born with rich clothes and fine clothes, whether they are rich or high-ranking officials? It's his fate... It's also fate if his parents leave early. You say that God is in charge of our lives and our birthdays, so he can still control your food?"
