Chapter 66 Xinghe’s Observation, Why Haven’t You Left Yet?

"Don't worry, I'm not angry."

After some persuasion from the three people, Chen Xinghe calmed down again.

Since he wanted to observe this woman carefully, he would not give up halfway. No matter how the other party humiliated him, he decided to endure it silently.

So there was one more person eating lunch that day, Chen Xinghe.

Except for Liu Lan who exchanged a few words with him, Widow Qin and others did not dare to talk to him.

I always feel that although he is not very old, he has a very imposing aura, and his cold face makes people afraid to approach him.

Chen Xinghai and the others didn't say much, mainly because they were afraid that their mother would be unhappy, so the meal was unprecedentedly silent.

Chen Xinghe observed everything carefully and was surprised to find that the food here was not worse than that at the mayor's home.

There was meat on almost every plate, and several kinds of meat.

But when I thought that Xiao Ying could even fight wild boars, I wasn't so surprised.

The person he observed the most was Xiao Ying. Just as his elder brother and the others had said, he seemed cold on the outside but warm on the inside.

Several people who work with her like her very much, and she responds enthusiastically when they talk to her.

In short, their attitude was better than when they spoke to him, which made him feel inexplicably jealous.

When he realized this, his face darkened and he felt annoyed. How could he care about that woman's attitude towards him?

When he carefully looked at the other person again, he unexpectedly met a pair of calm eyes.

He was slightly startled and quickly looked away, then felt annoyed again. What was he feeling guilty about?

Xiao Ying didn't know about his many little thoughts, but Chen Xinghe's gaze was too direct and it was difficult for her to ignore it.

When she saw Chen Xinghe coming back, she knew that Chen Xinghai and the other two must have done something, but she didn't care.

Although she never cared about Chen Xinghe, Chen Xinghai and the other two had always been thinking about him. After all, they were brothers and sisters, and she had no right to ask them not to associate with Chen Xinghe.

So as long as the other party doesn't do anything to harm her, she can turn a blind eye.

After resting for a while after dinner, Xiao Ying said goodbye to Chen Xinghai, asked him to take care of the house, and then went into the mountains with a backpack on his back.

There wasn't much meat left at home, so she had to find a way to hunt some large animals. She hadn't been to the mountains for a long time, so she was looking forward to it.

"She just went into the mountains like that?"

Chen Xinghe was stunned. Apart from the backpack, the woman didn't even seem to have a knife, let alone a bow and arrow.

"Don't worry, mom is very powerful." Chen Xinghai smiled.

"Who's worried about her?" Chen Xinghe's face froze and he snorted.

Chen Xinghai didn't expose it, he also picked up a backpack.

"Will you come with me to collect firewood?"

"OK."

Chen Xinghe agreed without thinking, and suddenly remembered that when he was still at home, he often went to collect firewood with his elder brother.

I haven't done it for two years, and I actually miss it a little.

Looking at his elder sister and younger sister, they were also busy with their own things. He couldn't stand being idle alone.

"Wait a moment."

"how?"

"I need to change my clothes."

Chen Xinghe was also wearing a plain robe made of silk. Although it looked good, it was not suitable for work at all.

But he was in a hurry to come back today and didn't bring any other clothes.

Chen Xinghai said, "How about wearing mine? It might be a little big."

"It doesn't matter if it's a little bigger." Chen Xinghe didn't mind at all.

So Chen Xinghai got him a set that his mother had bought for him not long ago.

The pants were indeed too big for Chen Xinghe, so he tied them around his waist with a rope and rolled up his trouser legs to make them feel better.

Chen Xinghai laughed and Chen Xinghe rolled his eyes at him.

"You look a bit like a villager now."

“I’m from the village.”

As he said this, he went to find a sickle and then went to collect firewood with Chen Xinghai.

When the two brothers filled their second backpack with firewood and were about to go home, they happened to meet Xiao Ying.

Just one glance and they were both shocked.

I saw their mother dragging a fat goat in each hand, and the two goats were also tied with pheasants and rabbits, probably more than a dozen in total.

"Mom, let me help you."

As Chen Xinghai said this, he was about to pour out the dry firewood and carry the prey.

"Need not."

Xiao Ying refused outright. She only took the things out of the Immortal Mansion after hearing that there were people here. In fact, it was only a short while.

"Then my second brother and I will carry a sheep."

Chen Xinghai hurriedly picked up the backpack and asked Chen Xinghe to lift one of the sheep.

"Just carry these pheasants and rabbits."

Xiao Ying stopped and threw more than ten pheasants and rabbits to them.

These things together only weighed about 30 to 40 kilograms, but a sheep weighed over 100 kilograms. She was worried that the two of them would be crushed.

"good."

Chen Xinghai didn't say anything more this time. His mother always cared about them.

Chen Xinghe looked at her twice more, then silently picked up the pheasants and rabbits and handed a few to his elder brother.

Then, Xiao Ying was seen picking up the two sheep casually, as if they were nothing, and walking out of the woods with big strides.

This was the first time that Chen Xinghe had witnessed Xiao Ying's strength firsthand. It was hard to imagine that a woman could have so much strength.

Thinking of his thin arms and legs, he suddenly felt a little annoyed. Should he also exercise in the future?

When the three of them arrived home, Liu Lan and others had just finished their work for the day. They were surprised to see them bring back so many prey.

Xiao Ying thought it would be troublesome to deal with so many things, so he asked them for help, and the four of them were very happy to help.

By the time it got dark, everything was done.

Xiao Ying gave them two or three pounds of mutton, and also let them share the offal from two sheep.

The four of them felt very embarrassed. A pound of mutton cost twenty or thirty cents. They just helped out, so how could they ask for so much?

But since they couldn't refuse, they all accepted it happily and gratefully.

Chen Xinghai and the other two were already accustomed to their mother's generosity, but Chen Xinghe muttered to himself, "Isn't this woman too extravagant?"

If the things given away were sold in town, they could be sold for at least three or four hundred coins.

I also gradually understood why everyone respected and loved her so much. Who could not love her when she could get so many benefits?

In the evening, Chen Xingyun steamed a large pot of white rice, and the aroma alone made Chen Xinghe feel something was wrong.

This rice is so delicious, much more delicious than the one at the mayor's house, which means the rice is better than the one at the mayor's house.

But the rice bought by the mayor’s family is already the best in town. Where does he buy the rice?

Xiao Ying took Chen Xinghai and his brother to make spicy barbecue in the yard, grilling some mutton, rabbit meat and pheasant meat.

The meat is roasted until golden, sizzling with oil, and after being brushed with various seasonings, it makes people drool.

Even Chen Xinghe stared at the meat without blinking, swallowing his saliva occasionally, and only then did he look like a child.

"Why haven't you left yet?" Xiao Ying suddenly asked.

Chen Xinghe was stunned and met her puzzled gaze, his little face suddenly flushed red.

He suddenly felt a surge of anger. Was this woman trying to drive him away? Why?

In an instant, the barbecue no longer smelled good.
