Aunt Chi thought back to how she had forced Tangtang to call her "Mom" in the same way, and couldn't help but chuckle to herself: "Can't you tell? Your daughter is just too lazy to call you that, and she finds you annoying, so she's only agreeing on purpose so you won't keep correcting her pronunciation."

Their daughter is very clever!

Old Man Chi thought about it and realized it was true, especially when he saw his chubby daughter giggling with a triumphant smile in her eyes.

"My daughter is so smart!"

Looking at the man's inexplicable arrogance, Aunt Chi was speechless: "Yes, your daughter made you call her 'Dad,' isn't that clever?"

Old Man Chi: ...

"I realized I was worrying about you for nothing. With your build, you could take down eighteen big men and still be fine."

After saying that, Old Man Chi stormed into the yard to discuss the pork with Old Man Li.

There are probably over 400 jin of wild boar meat left, which is definitely not enough for our family to eat.

"Why don't we take advantage of their popularity and sell them at the city's most prestigious restaurants?"

"Are you worried that you won't get a good price at the restaurants in town?"

"Yes, we're really short of money right now."

Listening to Old Man Chi's analysis, Old Man Li agreed: "Then, I'll accompany you and carry it to the city."

"Eldest daughter-in-law, bring the kitchen knife! Let's divide some meat and keep some for our own family to eat," Old Man Chi shouted.

His voice was filled with excitement.

Several little kids popped up one by one, excitedly asking, "Grandpa, Grandpa, are we having stewed meat for dinner tonight?"

"You can grill it too."

"How about we make dumplings? Dumplings are the best!"

A group of little kids were seriously studying a hundred ways to cook pork.

Old Man Chi laughed heartily, "Good, good, leave some more meat, we'll stew it, roast it, and make dumplings too, okay?"

"Wow! Grandpa, you're amazing!"

"Grandpa, I love you the most."

Hearing the cheers of the little ones outside and Old Man Chi's smug laughter, Aunt Chi couldn't help but say, "Daughter, did you see that? Your father is the smartest! It's me and your Aunt Li who suffer, and killing the wild boar is all your doing. In the end, your father gets all the credit!"

"hey-hey."

"You little rascal, you're always on your father's side!"

Chi Tang immediately took out a bottle of lychee preserves from her spatial storage.

She almost forgot about the canned food.

In her past life, she was sick and really wanted to eat canned food. She randomly grabbed a bottle from the supermarket and it turned out to be canned lychees. After eating it once, she thought it was delicious, so she bought a few more bottles and put them in the refrigerator.

I just forgot to eat it later.

Luckily I forgot to eat, otherwise where would I get canned food now?

This time, Chi Tang was smarter. After opening the can with a bottle opener in the kitchen of the small courtyard, she also took a spoon before coming out.

Looking at the white and tender lychees in the glass jar, each one coated with syrup, cool and refreshing, is very pleasant!

What is this?

Aunt Chi had never eaten canned food, let alone seen a lychee.

They had lived in a village in the north for generations, and they had no money. They had never eaten lychees before.

"Every time! The character 'Li'!...times!"

After trying twice, Chi Tang simply pushed the can of food in front of her mother and shouted domineeringly, "Damn it!"

"puff!"

Aunt Chi laughed unkindly, kissed her chubby daughter, and then ate one.

The cool, refreshing sensation instantly calmed down my inner turmoil.

I don't know what kind of fruit it is, but when I bit into it, juice gushed out, and my mouth was filled with a sweet and cloying taste.

It feels so good!

The feeling was like eating a chilled melon hanging in a well on a hot summer day – so refreshing and comforting!

"My dear daughter, this is truly a treasure."

Aunt Chi ate four or five in a row before stopping, feeling extremely comfortable.

Chi Tang was incredibly envious, but the canned food was cold, and her mother would never give it to her.

After thinking for a moment, Chi Tang immediately entered the small courtyard of the space, took out a can of food from the refrigerator and put it outside, thinking that she would take it out to eat when it was at room temperature.

"Girl, do you think we should order some food for Aunt Li?" Aunt Chi asked hesitantly.

Thinking of how Aunt Li bravely protected their child, Aunt Chi was filled with emotion.

Those sitting there were all children from the Chi family, except for Xiao Suotou, who was the grandson of the Li family.

But when Aunt Li rushed over to protect him, she wasn't just protecting Xiao Suotou!

Therefore, Aunt Chi hesitated.

Chi Tang tilted her head for a moment, then, finding it too difficult, said, "You babbling!"

If Mother decides, then everything is fine.

"Good boy/girl."

Aunt Chi thought about it and decided to take it out that evening.

Li Jia was frank with herself. Although she wanted to protect Tangtang, she didn't really want to hide these things because they made people feel comfortable.

Otherwise, I would always feel sorry for the Li family.

Most importantly, she knew perfectly well who the Li family were and that they would never harm Tangtang.

The meat has already been cut in the yard.

Now that the weather is cold, the meat can be stored longer, so I kept a wild boar leg to roast for the children, and about 100 jin of meat from the ribs.

Besides keeping some to stew at home, I also plan to pickle them and eat them slowly.

Although I really want to make money, I also want to take good care of my children's health.

There are probably about 260 or 270 pounds of meat left.

Old Man Chi and Old Man Li each carried a basket on their backs and set off for the city.

It would take three hours to walk there and back, plus the time spent selling meat...

"We won't be back if it gets too late, don't worry about it. We're leaving now."

Wild boar meat should be sold while it's still fresh.

After asking their mother-in-law's opinion, Sister-in-law Chi and Li Mingfan's wife immediately started preparing to make dumplings.

One uses black flour to knead the dough.

Chop meat into minced meat with a clanging sound.

Several children also joined in to help.

Some were tending the fire, some were picking chives, some were washing dishes...

Everyone was extremely busy.

When Chi Dashan and the other two returned, the steamed dumplings had just come out of the pot!

"What the heck? They're not doing it? They're actually steaming dumplings?" Chi Dashan was taken aback.

"Dumplings? Sister-in-law, how did you know I wanted to eat dumplings?"

Chi Sanhe wasn't afraid of getting burned, and without washing his hands, he directly reached out, grabbed one, and put it in his mouth!

Chi Dashan immediately scolded, "Go wash your hands right now, aren't you afraid the kids will follow suit?"

After being scolded by his older brother, Chi Sanhe dejectedly went to wash his hands.

Because Aunt Li and Aunt Chi were both unable to move around easily, and since they were eating dumplings, they were seated at two separate tables.

The Li family sat at one table, and the Chi family sat at another.

Chi Dashan and Chi Sanhe already knew about the wild boar incident, and once again felt fortunate for Chi Tang's good luck.

"By the way, how's the thing I asked you to do going?"

"Yes, I've found out. I'll report it to the county government later, and it'll be fine after paying a little money," Chi Dashan replied, sitting up straight.

It's nothing much, just that people take this matter seriously.
