"It's not your fault, you were just unlucky today. Come to town more often if you have time."

Sister Juan felt it was a pity to miss such a good opportunity.

At this point, Liu Cuifang remembered what had just happened on the oxcart.

Wei Yuyan's self-mockery made her grit her teeth in hatred.

Although she didn't say anything, her eyes were clearly sarcastic.

After chatting with her cousin for a while, Liu Cuifang got up to say goodbye.

Walking down the street, Liu Cuifang looked at the candied hawthorns on the roadside and felt a little tempted.

"Grandpa, I'd like a candied hawthorn."

Liu Cuifang hadn't eaten in a long time, and when she was about to take out her money, she found that her purse was gone.

"Damn it, I forgot to bring my money bag when I changed clothes at home."

Liu Cuifang was annoyed; nothing was going right today.

"I said, do you still want it or not?"

Seeing that Liu Cuifang was delaying in taking out the money, the old man couldn't help but ask.

"Sorry, I don't want it."

Liu Cuifang blushed; it was so embarrassing.

Suddenly she saw a group of people ahead chatting and laughing, holding all sorts of food in their hands, such as sugar cakes, pastries, and glutinous rice cakes.

Liu Cuifang's eyes were red with hatred. If they had given her a ride just now, she wouldn't be in such a sorry state.

"Hey, sister-in-law."

Wei Yuyan saw Liu Cuifang ahead and gestured to Sister-in-law Xiuhua.

"Let's move to the side."

Xiuhua's sister-in-law led the two children and walked in the other direction where Liu Cuifang was standing.

Liu Cuifang watched them walk away, her eyes darting around.

"She's acting all mysterious, let's stay away from her in the future."

Xiuhua's sister-in-law thought Liu Cuifang looked gloomy.

"That's true, hahaha."

Wei Yuyan was in a good mood.

Liu Cuifang found Wei Yuyan's laughter particularly grating when she heard it from behind.

"Sister-in-law, let's just go to my house. Didn't we agree to have dinner at my house tonight?"

After getting off the oxcart at home, Sister-in-law Xiuhua called out to Wei Yuyan.

"I need to go home to get some vegetables. I'll bring them to your house to cook later. The kids can go to Sister Xiuhua's house."

Wei Yuyan told the children to stop walking around.

"good".

The children obediently followed Sister Xiuhua.

When Wei Yuyan got home, she caught a rabbit from its burrow, tied its legs together, and put it in her basket.

Wei Yuyan felt a little flustered. What if Qianqian found out that she had eaten her little rabbit? Would she be angry and cry?

Carrying the rabbit carefully, I arrived at Sister Xiuhua's house. It seemed that the children were not in the front yard, but had run to the back yard.

Wei Yuyan quickly grabbed the rabbit and rushed to the kitchen.

"Sister-in-law Xiuhua, hurry, hurry, kill the rabbit! Don't let Qianqian see us. If she does, she'll definitely be angry with us."

Wei Yuyan knew that the rabbit and chick were Qianqian's treasures, and that they would have to be very careful when eating these animals at home in the future.

"I can kill it, but I don't know how to skin it. I'll have your Brother Zhang come over in a bit."

"Just hide it here, the child won't see it. Oh my, you've fattened this rabbit up so much!"

Sister-in-law Xiuhua thought the rabbit looked plump and delicious.

"good".

Wei Yuyan went to the backyard to see what the children were doing.

"Xiao Lei, Qian Qian, what are you doing?"

Wei Yuyan saw the two of them huddled among the vegetables, wondering what they were doing.

"Sister-in-law, we are picking tomatoes."

Qianqian held up two bright red tomatoes.

"Oh my, Sister Xiuhua's tomatoes have ripened so quickly!"

Wei Yuyan remembered that the tomatoes from her backyard were still green.

"There are only a few red ones, the rest are cyan."

Xiao Lei found four in total.

"In a little while, Sister Xiuhua will give you some white sugar to eat with, or tomato and egg soup."

Wei Yuyan noticed that the tomatoes weren't very red, so they probably weren't very sweet.

The group of people wandered around Xiuhua's vegetable garden.

Xiuhua's grapevines have really produced a lot of fruit, and the bunch of grapes they picked themselves has also survived.

However, they haven't grown very big yet, so there aren't any grapes to eat this year; we'll probably have to wait until next year.

"Sister-in-law, go stir-fry the rabbit meat. Your brother Zhang said you stir-fry it well."

Xiuhua's sister-in-law almost let it slip.

"good".

Wei Yuyan went to the kitchen, where Brother Zhang had already prepared the rabbit meat in small pieces.

"Sister-in-law, what if Qianqian finds out?"

Xiuhua's sister-in-law was also a little worried.

"She won't find out. When we get home, I'll say the rabbit ran away and escaped."

Wei Yuyan had already prepared her explanation.

“I haven’t had time to go up the mountain lately. Once the rice seedlings are planted, I’ll go up the mountain to catch rabbits for you guys, so Qianqian can raise them for fun.”

Brother Zhang actually enjoys hunting, but his skills are only average, let alone catching live prey, which is quite difficult.

"Okay, then Qianqian is very happy."

Wei Yuyan began processing the rabbit meat, first marinating it with wine and salt for later use.

"Sister-in-law Xiuhua, do you have any dried chili peppers at home?"

Wei Yuyan felt that dried chili peppers were the soul of the dish.

"Yes, let me look for it."

Sister-in-law Xiuhua took out some dried chili peppers from the top of the cupboard. They were dried last year and luckily they hadn't spoiled yet.

"I'm going to get more sun this year."

Wei Yuyan grabbed a handful of dried chili peppers and green chili peppers and chopped them for later use.

Heat oil in a pan, then add rabbit meat and stir-fry until dry and fragrant.

Add dried chili peppers, green chili peppers, garlic and other seasonings and continue to stir-fry.

Add salt, soy sauce and other seasonings, stir-fry evenly and it's ready to serve. Stir-frying for too long will make it tough.

"Oh, it smells so good, dinner's ready."

Sister-in-law Xiuhua had prepared all the other dishes and was just waiting for the rabbit meat.

"Remember, don't let it slip."

Wei Yuyan had to give one more reminder.

"Wow, it smells so good!"

The children were also drawn over, and there was a table full of dishes.

A bowl of zongzi (sticky rice dumplings), tomatoes and cucumbers with sugar, braised pork, stir-fried pork cracklings, pan-fried tofu, spinach and egg soup, braised green beans, and dry-fried rabbit meat.

"This is too lavish, even better than the food during Chinese New Year."

Xiuhua's sister-in-law quickly served everyone the rice.

"What kind of meat is this?"

The three adults kept eating the plate of meat, and Qianqian took a bite and found it a bit spicy.

"Mmm, mutton."

Brother Zhang thought for a moment and figured Qianqian had never eaten mutton before, so he decided to try and fool her.

"oh".

Qianqian nodded, while Xiaolei glanced at Brother Zhang, clearly not believing him.

Two years ago, my older brother hunted a goat, and he ate it. It was clearly not the same taste as this one.

This might be rabbit meat, but Xiao Lei didn't say anything. He guessed why everyone was keeping quiet about it being rabbit meat.

"It has to be your sister-in-law who cooks it. The meat your sister-in-law Xiuhua used to cook wasn't bad, but it's not as good as yours."

Brother Zhang ate with great relish, sweating profusely.

Wei Yuyan ate a bowl of rice, a bowl of soup, and a zongzi (sticky rice dumpling), and was completely stuffed.

"Sister-in-law Xiuhua, give me the key. When you get home tomorrow at noon, there will be a ready-made meal for you."

Before leaving, Wei Yuyan didn't forget her important business.
