"Thank you for your hard work, Doctor Yang! Hurry to the brigade headquarters and drink some hot water to warm up.

Captain Xue, quickly tell the militia to bring the wild boar over, gut it and remove the bones, so as not to delay the members from distributing the meat this afternoon."

Looking at the six big wild boars lying on the sled, Chen Baiwang was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth. He kept pulling Yang Baiyi to the brigade headquarters to roast fire and drink tea.

"I won't drink the water. My family is waiting for me to go back for lunch. I'll come back when we have the pig-killing dinner in the evening."

Yang Baiyi knew that as long as he followed Chen Baiwang into the brigade headquarters, he would surely be greeted with a new round of praise. To be honest, Yang Baiyi was a little tired of hearing it.

After rejecting Chen Baiwang's invitation, Yang Baiyi took a sled back home.

"Bai Yi, you're back? Are you cold?"

Before he reached home, Xiao Fuxing, who was standing at the entrance of the village, came to greet him.

"It's not too cold, uncle. Are you waiting for me here?"

Yang Baiyi got off the sled and walked towards home side by side with Xiao Fuxing.

When going out in the morning, Xiao Fuxing wanted to follow him up the mountain, but was rejected by Yang Baiyi.

Firstly, he was afraid that Xiao Fuxing's physical strength would not be able to keep up. Secondly, Yang Baiyi went into the mountains to collect wild ginseng, and he didn't want to reveal too much in front of Xiao Fuxing.

It’s not that I don’t trust my uncle, but I don’t want him to bear too much. Sometimes knowing too much is not a good thing.

"I just came out too. I didn't wait long. I felt like you were coming back soon."

Xiao Fuxing patted the fallen snow on Yang Baiyi's shoulder, which was left when he was squatting there digging wild ginseng.

"Grandson, you're back? I don't know when you'll be back, so I prepared the food in advance in case it gets cold.

How about we have hot pot today? The meat is already cut and the vegetables are already washed and soaked.”

As soon as Yang Baiyi entered the house, Mu Xue and Lin Wanru came out of the kitchen.

"Okay, hot pot is perfect for winter. It stays hot until the end."

Yang Baiyi untied the noose on the dogs and let them move freely.

"Grandson, come to the main room and warm up. I've made tea for you."

Xiao Qingyang stood at the door, looking at Yang Baiyi with eyes full of heartache.

In fact, the eldest grandson was still a child. Not only did he bear the heavy responsibility of supporting the family, but he also had to go hunting in the mountains for the entire village.

My eldest grandson's abilities are not innate, but are honed through constant effort under the pressure of life.

Seeing Xiao Qingyang's expression, Yang Baiyi shook his head helplessly. He knew that his grandfather must be thinking about how difficult his journey had been.

Yang Baiyi followed Xiao Qingyang back to the main room, and Xiao Fuxing also went to the kitchen to help serve the dishes.

"Grandpa, it's time for lunch. Hasn't Xiaoxiao gone home yet?"

Yang Baiyi did not see his sister in the main room. In the past, when Yang Baiyi returned home, she would be the first one to run out of the house to greet him.

“Not long after you left, her friends came to play with her, and she ran out with them.

I guess he'll be back soon. Xiao Xiao, that little foodie, won't miss a single meal."

The little girl loves delicious food and has a big appetite, which everyone in the family knows.

However, the little girl just has a little baby fat and looks chubby, but she is actually not fat and there is absolutely no problem with her health, so Yang Baiyi has never restricted the little girl's food intake.

As long as my sister is healthy and not too fat, then let her eat. I can afford to support her.

"Grandma, Wanru sister, what delicious food do you want to eat for lunch today?"

The little girl's soft and tender voice was heard in the yard, and it sounded like she was heading towards the kitchen.

"Look, I told you, my good granddaughter will never miss a meal."

Xiao Qingyang's face was full of smiles, and the little girl's naive look always made people laugh.

"We're having hot pot today. It'll be ready soon. We're just waiting for you to come back for dinner."

Mu Xue's gentle voice sounded in the kitchen.

Soon, an iron pot was placed on the stove in the main room, and various meat and vegetable dishes were brought over.

"Grandma, let's have spicy hot pot with red oil for lunch today. Baiyi has been freezing in the mountains all morning, and eating something spicy can warm her up. Xiaoxiao and I can just rinse it with clean water."

In fact, Lin Wanru has been trying very hard to adapt to spicy food recently, but changing taste always takes time.

Now she can eat something slightly spicy, but she definitely can’t eat the extremely spicy red oil base.

“No, just eat beef hotpot. It’s the same if we put red oil in the condiment dish.

The food rinsed with water is bland and tasteless, and the chili peppers can’t be rinsed cleanly either.”

Mu Xue did a very good job in this regard. Although she doted on her eldest grandson to the core, she never ignored Lin Wanru's feelings.

Yang Baiyi is a person who doesn't like spicy food. Xiao Qingyang's family can also eat spicy food, but whenever Mu Xue cooks, she will always cook two dishes that Lin Wanru likes.

"Thank you, grandma. You are so kind to me."

Sincerity is rewarded with true love. Lin Wanru saw and remembered everything Mu Xue did.

"Silly girl, you are so sensible and filial, and you take such good care of my eldest grandson and granddaughter. How could grandma not love you?"

After the pot was boiled, large plates of mutton were put into the pot. It was more than 20 degrees below zero outside, and the family was in the warm house, eating a bite of mutton hot pot. The sense of happiness and satisfaction was particularly strong.

There were also various mountain products brought by Chen Baiwang and Chen Dahe, including delicious mushrooms such as morels and hazel mushrooms, which were full of butter and soup and tasted even more delicious than meat.

"Brother, the brigade is going to kill the New Year pig again today. Sister Erya said that you were the one who killed the wild boar again this year.

The members are very grateful to my brother and want to buy more to have a good New Year."

After almost finishing the meal, the little girl finally put down her chopsticks and talked about something that made her feel proud today.

"Bai Yi, I understand that you're helping the educated youth, but is it worth it for you to spare no effort to help unrelated members of the commune and give away so much meat in exchange for their gratitude?"

Before meeting Yang Baiyi, Xiao Fuxing lived in darkness with his parents for several years.

Not only did he have to work intensively every day, but he couldn't even fill himself up with the whole-grain steamed bread, so he always attached great importance to food.

Seeing his nephew sending out pigs one after another, Xiao Fuxing still felt heartbroken even though they were not his own things.

I have been holding this matter in my heart for a long time, and today I just happened to speak it out through my niece's words.

"Revival, this is the gap in thinking and vision. You followed us on the farm and suffered for several years. Your vision is too narrow. This is not your fault.

Today I will tell you why Bai Yi does this and what are the many benefits.

When Bai Yi came to Chenjiatun to work in the countryside, he had no relatives at all. Even the educated youth who slept on the same kang was someone he met on the train.

If you're unfamiliar with the place and want to avoid being bullied and quickly break the deadlock, you have to pay something, right? "

Xiao Qingyang took a sip of tea and left a question for Xiao Fuxing to consider.
