Chapter 19



Every year during the harvest season, they behaved very actively and filially.

It was August when the rice harvest was in season and they had a holiday. They told their neighbors that only their parents were taking care of the children and that their parents were not well, so they would come to their house every year to help.

But they would not come early, but would come when the work was almost done. When the harvest was finished, the big and small would carry the food to the city.

After returning home, I told my neighbors that the old man insisted on giving it to me, and that my parents would be sad if I didn't take it.

They are praised for their filial piety by people who don't know why, and it is only right that they should be given something for helping the elderly.

You can gain both fame and advantage.

This is because I often hear Ye Zhengguo complain about it.

They said that the success of Lin Lao's adopted sons was only superficial, that they looked glorious but were not filial at all and took advantage of him as a fool.

It is better to raise a dog than to raise them; a dog can bark.

They are very aggressive when criticizing others, and they are never soft-hearted when taking advantage of others and bullying fools.

Ye Xiaozhen came out of the kitchen and saw Lin Xinghua sitting under the eaves eating steamed buns.

These were the two that Xie Wen threw away.

"Grandpa, eat."

"Hey, Xiaozhen, eat first, grandpa will be here soon."

Ye Xiaozhen didn't say much.

He was a survivor of the famine, and even though his family now had enough food and clothing, he would never waste food.

Don't worry if there's a little dust on the steamed bun. Just pat it clean and eat it.

He finished his two steamed buns before coming into the house, drinking the porridge and eating some pickled vegetables, but he didn't eat a bit of the fried egg with grass on the table.

Ye Xiaozhen was almost asleep when Xie Linan came back.

Hearing the sound of the courtyard gate opening, Ye Xiaozhen put down the door bolt.

It's so late, I thought he wasn't coming back.

"Xiaozhen, come and see what I brought you back."

Ye Xiaozhen thought, could it be that he really bought some fruit candies?

Ye Xiaozhen pulled the rope behind the door, and the light under the eaves came on.

Xie Lin'an put his hands behind his back and smiled like an idiot.

"Guess what it is."

Ye Xiaozhen was speechless, but she had to cooperate with him and said, "Fruit candy."

Xie Linan's smile froze a little, and he shook his head and said, "No, no, it's better than fruit candy."

Oh, what good food can there be in such a poor place?

Ye Xiaozhen was too lazy to pretend and just turned around and left.

Xie Linan hurriedly caught up with him, "Hey, why are you so upset just because there's no fruit candy? I was busy at the dam today and I really couldn't leave. When I finished my work and ran to the store, it was closed."

Wow, it turns out that buying fruit candy also draws big cakes.

Fortunately, she didn't expect it.

"Look, doesn't this smell better than candy?"

He brought a wild rabbit in front of Ye Xiaozhen. The rabbit was not big, probably not yet an adult, a half-grown rabbit, and looked a little cute. Xie Linan grabbed its long ears and it was struggling and kicking its legs violently.

Ye Xiaozhen thought that since it was so fresh, she could put it in a cage and keep it for a few months.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she reached out to touch it, the hare was taken back by Xie Linan.

"Don't touch it. Even rabbits bite when they get angry."

As soon as he finished speaking, he fanned the rabbit on the head with his big hand, and the rabbit stopped moving.

Ye Xiaozhen was stunned, "You..." How could you kill it?

She almost got cured of her mental illness due to anger.

Xie Linan said, "Don't you see how wild it is? It might hurt you soon."

Ye Xiaozhen: “…”

"Go to the kitchen and get a knife. I'll prepare it for you while I'm home. You and Grandpa can eat it tomorrow."

Ye Xiaozhen was blown away by the wind.

Rabbit is so cute, how do you eat rabbit?

Well, in his eyes this is not a rabbit, this is meat.

They're going to die anyway, so it's a waste not to eat it.

Ye Xiaozhen turned around and went to the kitchen to get a knife.

When I came out, I saw Xie Linan had hung the rabbit on the peach tree in the yard, and had also drawn half a bucket of water from the pumping well.

Maybe they were too loud and woke up the sleeping grandfather.

After a while, the old man came out.

"Lin An, what are you doing?"

"Grandpa, I was catching a rabbit, and this thing nearly hit the wheel of my car when I came back."

"Hey, this rabbit is not big, only two kilograms at most."

"It must be two kilograms. It's perfect for you and Xiaozhen to eat tomorrow."

Xie Linan rubbed his hands, "Xiaozhen, give me the knife quickly."

Ye Xiaozhen gave him the knife.

She originally thought that Rabbit was beaten to death by him, but she didn't expect that Rabbit was not dead at all, but just fainted.

He used a knife to bleed the rabbit, and the rabbit woke up and struggled violently.

Ye Xiaozhen herself is a cook. This is the first time in her life that she has witnessed such a bloody slaughtering scene.

She is showing off her skills like a fairy, processing ingredients live, and someone helps her with the process of turning living things into ingredients.

After the blood was released, the rabbit became motionless.

He cut open the rabbit's limbs and began to skin it.

In the end, the rabbit was not dead yet and struggled a few more times, which made Ye Xiaozhen's scalp tingle.

Xie Linan didn't pay attention to him. He was talking to Lin Xinghua while working.

Lin Xinghua saw Ye Xiaozhen's expression and said to Xie Lin An, "Next time you kill a rabbit, put it in the water and drown it first. Don't make it so bloody."

"Ah? Where's the blood? The fur is very beautiful, there's not a single drop of blood on it. Grandpa, I'll use this leather to make you a pair of insoles next day."

"Just do your job and stop talking nonsense."

Xie Lin Anli quickly dealt with the rabbit.

Lin Xinghua took the rabbit meat to rub salt on it.

Xie Linan found some bamboo sticks, spread out the rabbit skin, and hung it on the peach tree to dry.

He turned around to get some soap to wash his hands, but found that the soap had become much smaller and there was not much left.

"Grandpa, the soap is running out. Remember to buy some tomorrow."

"Didn't you buy it a few days ago? It's gone again?"

"With so many people at home, of course it will be used up faster."

Ye Xiaozhen quickly said to him, "Brother, I want to wash my hair."

Xie Linan asked with a smile while applying soap: "Do you want me to wash your hair?"

Ye Xiaozhen: “…” I’m reminding you to buy shampoo, speechless.

I thought that I had never used shampoo before and had always used soap to wash my hair.

So she said to Xie Linan: "No one at home has seen the soapberry."

"Soap nuts?" Xie Linan suddenly realized, "You have such long hair, soap is definitely not enough. I remember my elder sister used shampoo before. How about we use shampoo instead of soap nuts?"

Ye Xiaozhen let out a sigh of relief.

He finally reacted.

She wanted to get more things at once so she wouldn't have to remind him all the time.

So she asked sympathetically, "Brother, can Xiaozhen also use shampoo?"

Xie Linan was startled, "Why not?"

"Yes, my parents said that Xiaozhen doesn't deserve to use these good things. Shampoo, soap, vanishing cream, hair brush, hair cream, only my younger brother and sister are qualified to use them."

She couldn't stand anything else, but she really couldn't stand it without the cream.

I watch Xie Linan and the others every day and they do have a good time.

God knows how she solved the problem of brushing 꾬놅 in the past two days.
