Yang Liu saw that the man pursed his lips and although he ignored her, he still held her hand and looked unwilling to give in. She immediately became unhappy and started to talk nonsense.
"Why are you making such a fuss? This isn't the first time I've encountered this kind of thing."
Chu Yue turned around suddenly, crossed his arms over his chest, and looked at her leisurely, his eyes full of amusement.
"What did you say?"
"Nothing, let's go check it out, otherwise it will be unsafe after dark."
Just as Yang Liu was about to shake off his hand and run up, he pulled her back.
The man held her tightly in his arms. Seeing the danger, Yang Liu had no choice but to play the victim: "Husband, I was wrong. Please forgive me, okay?"
Yang Liu quickly hugged his waist, looking pleading and begging for mercy.
Seeing that man looking at her seriously, as if he wanted to eat her up, she quickly hugged his neck and kissed him all the way from his Adam's apple upwards.
She was numb from kissing him, but he still hadn't moved. Yang Liu immediately gave in, and like a rooster with its feathers standing on end, she threw herself at him and bit his jaw hard. Then she pushed him back, wiped her mouth with her sleeve, and put her hands on her hips, cursing, "Are you done yet? I'm begging you so much, and you're still so rude. Don't be so shameless."
Chu Yue hugged her and bit her puffy little face, but didn't use much force. He gently scratched her nose with his hand and said with a smile, "I didn't say anything, but you're still angry. I'll settle the score with you when I get home tonight."
As he said that, he took her hand and continued to walk upstairs.
Although it was not a good day today and I encountered such a thing, I was lucky. Although I didn't catch a big wild boar like last time, at least I got two rabbits and two pheasants.
Just these are enough for a good meal when you get home.
Chu Yue asked Yang Liu to wait on the side. He used some branches to make ropes, strung up the pheasants and rabbits, and then covered the traps with a layer of grass before going down the mountain.
When they got home, Li Qiuhe had gone to Uncle Tao's house to grind corn and had not returned yet.
When winter comes, every household starts to hibernate. In addition to going up the mountain to collect firewood, another important thing is to prepare food for the winter. This is mainly because the weather is cold and there is less work in the fields, so people stay at home most of the time.
Once I have some free time, I eat more.
Normally, most families still mainly rely on coarse grains. White flour is an extremely scarce commodity and people only eat it during times like the Chinese New Year. However, because Yang Liu is pregnant now, their family's living standards will also be raised to a higher level.
In addition, the oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, rice and flour in the house were all bought by Chu Yue and others, so Li Qiuhe can eat as much as she wants now. After all, her daughter is pregnant and she cannot treat her daughter badly in life.
But it is not realistic to eat like this for every meal, so she grinds all the autumn corn at home into cornmeal, which she can mix with white flour. Although the taste is not as good as eating white flour alone, it is still much better than sorghum flour.
Yang Liu's attention was now focused on the wild animals she had hunted. All she was thinking about was how to get food later.
As for Chu Yue, she had already sent him to deal with pheasants and rabbits. For fear of being discovered, they boiled water at home to remove the feathers, and then threw the remaining garbage directly into the back mountain.
Because there were too many people using the stone mill, and some families not only ground corn but also sorghum and wheat, it was almost dark when Li Qiuhe came back.
Of course, Li Dazui also came with her. Yang Liu had already prepared the meal at home and was bringing the dishes to the table. When she heard her noisy voice, she immediately gestured and asked Chu Yue to bring in a pot of stewed chicken and potatoes on the table.
The main reason is that this person is too talkative, and she doesn't want him to see it and spread it everywhere, which will block her way to wealth.
"Auntie, are you here?" Yang Liu greeted Li Dazui while standing under the eaves.
"Yeah, your mom can't get it, so I'll help bring it back."
Yang Liu took a look and saw that it was just a bag of cornmeal, weighing no more than twenty pounds, not what she said at all.
I thought that since this person came so late, he must have other things to do.
Seeing the bowls and chopsticks on the table, she knew at a glance that they were preparing to eat, so she had to get straight to the point: "Girl, you said you wanted to order eggs from my shop, why haven't you picked them up in the past few days?"
Yang Liu pretended to have forgotten, slapped her head, and then exclaimed, "Auntie, look at my brain. I forgot it as soon as I got busy. So, I'll ask my mother to go to your house tomorrow to get it."
Seeing that Li Dazui nodded in agreement but hadn't moved yet, she asked again, "Auntie, is there anything else?"
Li Dazui smiled awkwardly, feeling very embarrassed: "It's like this, when you go to get eggs tomorrow, can you bring me a cloth coupon and a brown sugar coupon?"
After drinking brown sugar water at her house that day, she suddenly felt very hungry, but she needed a ticket to buy brown sugar at the supply and marketing cooperative.
After thinking about it, I can only exchange it from her.
"Okay, auntie, I'll have my mom give it to you tomorrow, but you can't tell anyone about it. These tickets were given to Chu Yue as a reward for his hard work translating materials for others. We thought you might need them, so we'll give them to you temporarily."
If she didn't shut Li Dazui's mouth in advance, she would probably make a fuss and everyone would know about it. Although their behavior was not speculation, it would still be a problem if it was really taken seriously.
"no problem."
Li Dazui was pleased and naturally agreed to it readily.
Seeing her leave, Yang Liu immediately called out to Yang Bai, "Go and close the door quickly. It's time to prepare dinner."
Just in case, she asked Yang Bai to lock the door from the inside.
When all the dishes were served, the whole yard was filled with the aroma of chicken.
I have to say that this kind of wild free-range chicken is many times more fragrant than the modern feed chicken. The chicken soup is orange yellow and looks very appetizing. The staple food is steamed rice.
Even if she didn't eat any vegetables and just soaked the rice in chicken soup, Yang Liu felt that she could finish two bowls of rice.
"Mom and Dad, hurry up and eat. Finish this whole bowl."
After saying that, she scooped a spoonful for everyone with a spoon, and of course she didn't forget Chu Yue at the end.
After all, he put in a lot of effort today.
"Sister, this chicken is so delicious. Next time, I'll go to the mountain with you to catch pheasants." The little guy took the chicken leg and chewed it until his mouth was full of oil.
When Yang Liu thought about the incident that happened in the back mountain, she immediately waved her hand and said, "No need, just study hard, kid."
She didn't want to teach the child bad things and leave him with psychological trauma.
After eating and drinking to her heart's content in the evening, Yang Liu lay on the bed with a satisfied look on her face.
