Li Xiang cleaned the small east room inside and out, and even took out the worn-out kang mat to dry in the sun.
After she finished cleaning up, she said something to Li Xiaoqin as if to take credit.
Li Xiaoqin just snorted through her nose as a response to her.
Even so, Li Xiang was very happy.
In the afternoon, Shen Limin came back from outside with a big pout.
At first, people who saw it just thought he was arguing with someone outside and didn't pay much attention.
But when I was having dinner that night, I saw only lumps of pickled vegetables on the table, without a single drop of oil.
Shen Limin took the chopsticks and kept poking at the bowl, making a harsh sound.
Wang Huilian slapped him on the head in anger: "What are you doing? There are only a few usable bowls left. If you break them again, I'll cut you into pieces."
Shen Limin put the bowl on the table angrily: "When will this day end? What the hell are you eating every day? Is it the water for washing the pot?"
Wang Huilian rolled her eyes at him and said, "If you don't like it, get lost. You're still picky when you have something to eat. Do you want to eat dragon meat?"
Shen Limin looked at his mother aggrievedly: "I don't want to eat dragon meat, but I want to eat chicken."
"What?" Wang Huilian didn't react for a moment.
"Today, Shitou shot two pheasants from the mountains and brought them back. Everyone in the village knows about it. Their family will definitely have chicken tonight." Shen Limin swallowed his saliva as he spoke.
It turned out that today Shitou and Shen Siyue went into the mountains to see if there were any prey in the traps, and they harvested a few pheasants.
I originally wanted to enter the village quietly without firing a gun, but I didn't expect to run into someone before I even got out of the mountain.
The man was running out of food at home, so he thought of trying his luck in the mountains, and that's how he met Shitou and his wife who were going home.
Shitou was holding two pheasants in his hands at the time, and it was too late for him to hide, so he could only say hello.
Soon the news that Shitou had hunted a pheasant spread throughout the village.
After listening to Shen Limin’s gossip, no one in the Shen family spoke.
Everyone looked at the only small bowl of pickles on the table and drank the porridge in their bowls in silence.
Seeing that they were silent, Shen Limin couldn't help but say, "Why don't we go to the mountains tomorrow to have a look, maybe we'll be lucky enough to catch some living creatures?"
He was really too greedy. It had been such a long time, eating pickles every day, and he almost became a pickle.
Wang Huilian scolded angrily: "What do you know, little kid? Do you think there are prey everywhere in the mountains? You can hunt whatever you want."
"It's not like your father and his family haven't been there before. They ran around all day and came back empty-handed, didn't they?"
"Besides, there are wolves in the mountains. Be careful or you may not come back."
Shen Limin was a little unconvinced: "How can that stone be hit? If he can hit it, what's the difference between us?"
"If we continue like this, we'll all starve to death before spring comes."
At this time, Shen Weimin suddenly spoke up: "With your small body, the pheasant is right in front of you, but you can't catch it! You actually want to compete with that stone? You overestimate your own abilities!"
"Hey, Shen Weimin, who are you related to? Why are you so ungrateful?" Shen Limin is not the kind of person who would not talk back when being scolded.
"You are talking to the stone so flatteringly. He didn't even bring you a piece of meat after killing his prey. Why are you trying to flatter him so much?"
Shen Weimin immediately became furious: "Bullshit, who flattered him? I was telling the truth."
Seeing that the two brothers were about to quarrel, Wang Huilian hurriedly intervened: "Alright, alright, why are you quarreling during dinner? Can you two be quiet and let me have some peace of mind?"
When Wang Huilian heard that Shen Siyue was going to eat meat, she felt panic in her heart.
She raised her eyelids and looked at Li Xiang, then at Li Xiaoqin, and suddenly an idea came to her mind.
"Second brother's wife, do you think that girl April will bring you and the second brother some meat to eat?"
Li Xiang lowered her head and said nothing.
She knew that Wang Huilian came here on purpose to cause trouble for her.
After all, they and Shitou and his wife can be said to have completely broken up, so how could Shen Siyue send meat to her and Shen Xiashu?
Seeing that she didn't say anything, Wang Huilian didn't stop talking: "Hey, in fact, according to me, it doesn't matter whether you two eat meat or not, but the third brother's wife is pregnant."
"This is the time to replenish nutrition, but look at our house, there is no meat at all, how can the child grow up?"
If it was anything else, Li Xiang could pretend not to hear it, but when it came to the child, she couldn't help but look up at Li Xiaoqin's belly.
When Li Xiaoqin received Li Xiang's gaze, she instinctively covered her stomach with her hands.
But I don’t know what she suddenly thought of, and after a moment of hesitation, she took her hand away.
So the belly was exposed to Li Xiang's sight without any obstruction.
Although Li Xiaoqin's belly had not bulged at all, Li Xiang seemed to have seen a little boy with a penis curled up inside.
Li Xiang looked at it and actually smiled foolishly, then looked up and asked Li Xiaoqin: "Xiaoqin, do you want to eat chicken?"
Li Xiaoqin looked at Li Xiang's somewhat old face, pursed her lips and said nothing.
Since she didn't say anything, Li Xiang took it as her consent.
So he said to her firmly: "Then I will go ask Yue'er for a few pieces of meat to nourish your body."
Wang Huilian saw that she had finally fallen into the trap, and she couldn't suppress the smile on her face.
Go, go!!!
If there was meat, she could also benefit from it and have some meat.
If she didn't get the meat, Li Xiang would definitely be scolded, which was what Wang Huilian liked to see.
Either way, it seems like she'll benefit.
Thinking of this, Wang Huilian felt very happy.
She also gave Li Xiang some advice: "Don't ask for meat when you get there, because we definitely won't give it to you."
"Why don't you chat with Si Nizi about her family's daily life first, and tell her more about her childhood. Maybe that will arouse her memories."
Shen Limin also joined in with great interest: "Second Aunt, if they say something to you, don't turn your face away! At least bring back a few pieces of meat to satisfy everyone's cravings!"
Li Xiang looked up at him and said unhappily, "The meat is also for your Third Aunt to nourish her body. You are such a grown man, what's the point of eating meat?"
“I…” Shen Limin was about to turn hostile, but was stopped by Wang Huilian who was standing beside him.
She winked hard at her silly son.
What’s the point of arguing now when we haven’t even seen any meat?
Once the meat is got back, how to eat it and who to give it to is not something Li Xiang can decide alone.
Shen Limin curled his lips and finally stopped arguing.
After Li Xiang finished her meal and cleaned up, she went out and walked towards Shitou's house.
