"Xiao Shen, your aunt is cooking some bone and pickled cabbage soup tonight. How about you bring Xiao Lu over so we can have some?"
Seeing that the matter here was settled, Li Xiangyang spoke with a smile.
Shen Qingchen couldn't make up his mind and turned to look at Lu Wensheng.
Lu Wensheng thought for a moment and said, "Uncle, I won't go. I have things to do in the evening. Let him go by himself. Is that okay with you?"
She felt that Li Xiangyang must have other requests for coming to Shen Qingchen for dinner this time, and it would not be convenient for her to follow him, so it was better not to go.
Moreover, if the village chief really wanted her to go, she would never have asked Xiao Shen to take Xiao Lu for a drink. He mentioned herself just to be polite. It's not like she couldn't understand what people were saying.
Shen Qingchen didn't really want to go, but since Shengsheng had spoken, he didn't refuse:
"Okay, I'll bother Uncle Xiangyang then."
Then he leaned close to Lu Wensheng's ear and whispered: "I will get the things on the mountain when I come back, so you don't have to go."
Lu Wensheng nodded. She didn’t want to go in the first place…
"Okay, then when you come back go to the bullpen and find Xiao Luzi and ask him to come with you."
Shen Qingchen smiled lightly: "Okay, I understand, you should go to bed early tonight and don't have to wait for us to come back."
"Yeah." Lu Wensheng agreed readily. After all, there was nothing wrong with it as long as she didn't have to put in any effort!
Here, Shen Qingchen followed Li Xiangyang to his house. As soon as he entered the door, he could smell the rich aroma of big bone pickled cabbage soup. There were also several plates of homemade pickles on the table.
"Come, Xiao Shen, sit here." Li Xiangyang greeted warmly.
Seeing that Shen Qingchen's eyes were always on those small pickles, he explained:
“This is what your Aunt Caifeng pickled when she was free. Little Deer likes to eat it, so I specially pickled a few more. Things in the countryside are not valuable, so Captain Shen, please don’t despise it.”
Hehe, let’s sell the deer to him first.
Shen Qingchen waved his hand and praised sincerely: “No, Aunt Caifeng’s cooking skills are really good, and I also like this spicy cabbage.”
"I'm glad you like it. When you leave, ask your aunt to give you some more to take back."
Li Xiangyang smiled. Apart from anything else, his wife's skill in pickling vegetables was quite good. Even Director Ma from the commune said that they were delicious after he had eaten them.
Shen Qingchen readily agreed: “Then thank you Uncle Xiangyang.”
After three rounds of drinks, Li Xiangyang finally revealed his purpose. It turned out that the village was planning to reclaim Xiaoqing Mountain and plant fruit trees. He wanted Shen Qingchen to help him come up with some ideas and see what would have a good future.
Seeing that it was this matter, Shen Qingchen was relieved in his heart, and readily agreed, while considering it, he expressed his own opinions and subsequent problems.
After discussing things at the Li family, it was almost eleven o'clock, so they went to find Xiao Luzi as Lu Wensheng instructed.
At this time, Xiao Luzi has already fallen asleep, like a little pig, and can't be woken up even by thunder.
It was only when Su Qishan heard someone knocking on the door that he called out to him:
"Haohao, hurry up and open the door. I don't know who is knocking on the door in the middle of the night. Is there something urgent?"
Just like that, Ma Yingjie said goodbye to the warm bed with tears in his eyes, put on his clothes and went to open the door while mumbling.
He was a little surprised when he saw Shen Qingchen. Could it be that something happened to Sister Lu? He hurriedly asked:
"Brother Shen, is there something wrong at home?"
"No, Shengsheng and I went up the mountain and hunted a lot of prey today, so..."
"I understand, I know. You don't have to say anything. I'll go back and put on my clothes now!"
Ma Yingjie became interested instantly, and without even waiting for Shen Qingchen to finish her words, he immediately went back to change his clothes.
Shen Qingchen couldn't help being a little stunned as she looked at his receding back. He hadn't said anything yet, but you understood it already?
It seems that this is not the first time for everyone to do this!
When Ma Yingjie went back to change his clothes, Su Qishan was still awake. Seeing that he was so excited after going out, he couldn't help but ask:
"Where are you going at this late hour?"
Ma Yingjie felt that the teacher was not an outsider, so he replied while putting on his fur coat:
"Oh, Sister Lu went to the mountains to hunt a lot of prey. It's hard to get them during the day, so Brother Shen asked me to go with him to carry the things back."
Su Qishan was dumbfounded: "Didn't Xiaolu follow Zhenguo and the others up the mountain?"
"No, Sister Lu said that she doesn't want to share the prey she hunted with great effort with those gossipy women in the village!"
Ma Yingjie finally figured himself out, and ran away under Su Qishan's shocked gaze.
Hehe, there will be meat to eat tomorrow!
In this way, the two of them walked together towards Daqing Mountain. On the way, Lu Hao got a flatbed truck from somewhere.
He inadvertently mentioned that there seemed to be strangers appearing near the village recently, which made Shen Qingchen feel a little alert. He decided to hang out outside the village more often starting tomorrow. The New Year is coming soon, and maybe there will be some petty theft!
————————————————————————
When Lu Hao saw the prey hidden in the cave, he was shocked. He pointed at a few dog-like creatures not far away and asked tremblingly:
"Brother Shen, that's a wolf!"
Shen Qingchen looked in the direction of his flashlight, nodded calmly and said:
"Yes, it was a wolf. Your sister Lu shot it."
Ma Yingjie took a deep breath and swallowed hard before making a fair comment:
"Oh, that's not surprising. Even if my sister Lu kills a tiger, I think it's justified."
Shen Qingchen raised his eyebrows. He didn’t expect that Sheng Sheng was so powerful in the eyes of this kid. Could it be that this kid had a crush on Sheng Sheng?
Shen Qingchen instantly felt a sense of crisis in his heart, and asked tentatively: “Do you trust your sister Lu so much?”
Ma Yingjie didn't hear any other meaning in his words. While checking the prey on the ground, he replied casually:
"Of course, my sister Lu is my bread and butter, and I want to be her little brother for life."
Oh, that’s okay… Shen Qingchen breathed a long sigh of relief.
It's fine as long as this kid doesn't have his eyes on Shengsheng!
Ma Yingjie: Do you think everyone is you? Thinking about love all day long is low-class!
"Okay, just carry it out quickly and stop talking nonsense."
After he was sure that Ma Yingjie had no other intentions towards Sheng Sheng, he hurriedly urged.
He was somewhat worried about leaving the three women living alone at home, so he wanted to rush home as soon as possible to keep an eye on them.
Especially since Ma Yingjie just mentioned that there were strangers wandering outside the village, this made him even more worried. He was a little afraid that those people were coming for Sheng Sheng.
"Oh, okay."
Lu Hao looked at the bloody wolf on the ground and didn't want to touch it. He was wearing the sheepskin coat that Sister Lu lent him today, and he couldn't let it get dirty.
So they picked up a few pheasants and rabbits on the ground and loaded them onto the flatbed truck.
After Shen Qingchen dragged the wolves onto the cart, Lu Hao noticed a little wild boar in the corner.
