What to do when you transmigrate to ancient times and encounter natural disasters? The window paper tears with a poke, the door collapses with a push, the thatch blows off with a gust, and there...
"Brother Jinjin, can we eat grilled fish today? Just tell me you want to eat it and mom will take it out." Suisui leaned on Fan Jin's shoulder from behind and whispered in his ear.
Jiang Yue has recently been considering reducing the amount of meat her son eats, but the boy refuses to even see a single green vegetable. If a plate of greens is placed before him, he will turn his head away.
Fan Jin rubbed his chubby face with his backhand, "How can you eat so much? You're so heavy on me!"
Suisui has always loved eating meat, and now he eats more meat in one meal than Fan Jin. He usually goes out to run, play, or hunt, and he burns off the food he eats, so he is strong and not fat.
But the winter was too cold, and he was kept indoors. He was too bored and kept clamoring for meat, so he naturally gained a lot of weight. When he ran, the flesh on his face trembled, and he was like Jiang Yue's fat child. Occasionally, he would jump on her back, and the weight made her almost vomit blood.
Jiang Yue pretended not to hear the two people's whispers. She was still sorting the pile of soft wool in her hands, trying to make it into thread.
The sound of footsteps gradually approached, and Jiang Nian came back from the front yard.
Sui Sui's little nose twitched, and he instantly climbed up from Fan Jin's body, ran out, hugged his father's thighs, sat on his feet, and shouted, "Dad, you have meat in your hand! I smell it!"
It was as if his father was doing something bad behind his back.
Jiang Nian was indeed holding a large cloth bag in his hand. He lowered his head, looked helplessly at the greedy fat boy, and moved slowly into the house.
"So what kind of meat is this?"
"I don't know, I haven't eaten it."
"You ate it, but you don't remember it."
Sui Sui's eyes rolled around, but he still couldn't remember what kind of meat it was.
Jiang Yue heard the conversation between the father and son and looked over curiously, "What kind of meat is it?"
Jiang Nian placed the cloth bag on the table and opened the cloth. "It's venison."
It was a whole deer leg, quite large, and the meat looked very tender. It was cold, so it had been frozen to keep it fresh.
"Who sent this? Deer meat is expensive in winter." If Jiang Nian had gone hunting on his own, he wouldn't have come back with only a leg. His eldest son could have gnawed off half a leg by himself.
It was just as she expected.
"It was sent by the Wang family. There was no message left."
There is really no need to leave a message, you will know what it means at a glance.
"Wow! It's venison, Brother Jinjin, we have venison to eat today!"
Sui Sui got off her father's lap, jumping and skipping, very happy. If you didn't know better, you would think she was abusing her own son by not giving him meat.
Fan Jin was a little stunned. He had eaten venison at Wang's house a few days ago. Since he hadn't eaten it for a long time, he ate a few more bites.
The eldest son of the Wang family was indeed smart and attentive, knowing exactly what to send. Jiang Yue pretended not to know. If someone had delicious food right in front of them, they would be a fool not to eat it. "How do you want to eat it?"
Fan Jin rubbed Sui Sui's big head as he leaned over to whisper something, and as he wished, "Roast it and eat it."
In the deep winter, grilling the meat is more suitable for the occasion and it also saves Jiang Yue a lot of trouble. Jiang Nian has already mastered the skill of grilling meat, so she doesn't need to do it herself.
Suisui would run back and forth to get things for his father, and would often urge his father to turn Rourou over. With these two little ones, the house was always bustling with activity.
On the second day, the Wang family sent someone to deliver a few furry furs and spread them on the kang. They were thicker than ordinary mattresses, and the two of them rolled around on them, feeling extremely comfortable.
Almost every five days, the Wang family would send someone to deliver some new and expensive food. Sometimes it was wild game from the mountains, sometimes fish from the water, and sometimes fresh food from other places, all of which catered to Fan Jin's preferences.
Jiang Yue instructed Yuan Zhuangtou to invite the person in, thank him, accept the gift, and there was no need to report to her.
One is willing to fight and the other is willing to be beaten, it all depends on one's own will.
After more than a month of sending the money, Fan Jin finally relented. He grabbed the pen Jiang Yue used to keep accounts, scribbled a few words on a piece of paper, and asked one of the Wang family's servants to take it back.
"Hehe!" Sui Sui saw him writing, just like her mother usually painted. She stretched out a finger, stirred it in the inkstone, and then pressed a black handprint on the paper.
Fan Jin grabbed the troublemaker and held him under his arm. "Let's go see if there are any more piglets born today, as well as lambs. The three ewes we visited yesterday had big bellies. Uncle Liang said they'll be able to give birth in the next two days."
Sui Sui counted on her fingers, "We have a lot of sheep at home. Mom said that tender lambs are best for roasting whole lamb. Can I grab one and roast it?"
"...Of course not! We need to keep the sheep to sell for money!"
"I don't like money. It's useless to have money. It's better to eat meat."
"Why do you only think about eating meat?!"
"Because it's delicious. It's okay if I don't eat lamb. Uncle Liang said we have over a hundred pigs at home. Can you give me a piglet to make roast suckling pig? Brother, I just like eating meat. Can you ask Mom for me?"
"I'm not going, you little fat boy, you're so greedy..."
Jiang Yue: It's been a long time, you really forgot. I don't know which three were drooling over her mule's fat butt and her big fat pig. It seems the Wang family has spoiled them...
At the Wang family, Wang Wenxuan opened the paper and saw the crooked handwriting on it. He seemed to see him lying on the table playing with a pen.
"No need to send me off, I forgive you." There was a black dot on the word "forgiveness", which must have been written several times after making a mistake.
The Wang family's servants had been living in fear for a long time. The eldest son, who was always gentle and kind, had suddenly changed his demeanor. His serious expression was truly frightening. Until today, everyone under him breathed a sigh of relief.
Wang Wenxuan tried hard to push down the corners of his mouth, but he couldn't stop the joy in his eyes.
Almost the entire Wang family knew that the eldest son had sent many things to the Jiang family. Mr. Wang once tried to get him to say indirectly whether there was a young lady in the Jiang family that he liked.
Mr. Wang now enjoys the company of his grandchildren, carefree and healthy. His only concern is his eldest son's stomach problems, which are causing him to eat less and grow thin. It would be great if someone could help treat him.
But his eldest son was even better at hiding his emotions than he was at his age. He shook his head and said no, and even said he wanted to atone for his careless mistake. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't get any more information out of him, so he gave up.
As winter goes and spring comes, all things revive and it is a new beginning.
