The fish was not fresh after being stored for a long time, so Zhao Yan cooked the fish yesterday and also cleaned up the remaining pheasant at noon today.
Shitou shook his head and handed the basket to Chen Xiuhua: "Second Grandma, my grandma asked me to bring some rabbit meat and wild duck eggs to nourish my great-grandma and great-grandfather."
Chen Xiuhua took a look at the basket and her eyes widened: "Why are there so many duck eggs?"
Shitou chuckled and said happily, "My aunt picked them all up. My aunt is very lucky. She can always pick up good things every time she goes up the mountain."
Chen Xiuhua's face was full of surprise when she heard this. Yesterday she heard from her daughter-in-law that Yingying had hunted a wild animal.
I picked up wild duck eggs again today. Isn’t this good luck?
"Yingying is so lucky. First she caught a pheasant and a fish, and now she has picked up so many wild duck eggs. Thank your grandma for me."
"Shi Tou, is your aunt feeling better?" Old Mrs. Xu is sixty-three years old this year, which is considered old in the village.
The old man had white hair, gray temples, a dark complexion, a face without much flesh but covered with wrinkles, and a kind smile on his weathered face.
Shitou nodded and said obediently, "Grandma, my aunt is fine now."
Old Man Xu usually had a stern face, and the children at home would hide when they saw him. But now that he heard that his granddaughter was fine, his face relaxed a lot: "I'm glad she's fine. Don't let her go to the river again."
"Okay, great grandpa." Shitou replied immediately, not daring to look directly at Old Man Xu.
"By the way, I heard that Chen Yanran pretended to be your aunt's savior? This new educated youth is really shameless. In the future, tell your aunt to have less contact with the educated youth.
Especially that Dong Wenzhong, as long as I am here, I will not let Yingying marry that boy, a bastard who can never achieve anything great." Old man Xu said this with some excitement and coughed a few times.
Shitou was so scared that he nodded repeatedly and promised to bring back every word he had said when he got home.
Chen Xiuhua took out all the things, got a bowl of fried chicken and put it in the basket, then gave the basket to Shitou.
Shitou took the basket and didn't dare to stay any longer. He shouted to Old Lady Xu and Old Man Xu, "Grandma, Grandpa, I'm leaving."
Mrs. Xu responded loudly: "Go slowly on the road."
Shitou nodded and went to Lu's house quickly.
Standing at the door of the Lu family, Shitou shouted loudly: "Aunt Daya, my grandma asked you to come to my house for dinner."
At the Lu family's table, there was thick millet rice in front of Lu's parents and Lu's eldest brother and sister-in-law. Only in front of Lu Daya and the second brother Lu Aimin was there a bowl of Xishui soup.
She had long been accustomed to this kind of life. Just as she was about to drink from the bowl, she heard the sound of stones. She looked up at Lu's mother, then stood up to open the door.
Mother Lu glared at her daughter and said, "Sit down. I'll go open the door."
Lu Daya nodded uneasily and sat down helplessly.
Mother Lu got up and opened the door. When she saw Shitou, she smiled and said, "Shitou, your aunt Daya doesn't like to eat out. Ask your grandma to bring the food back."
Shitou is not a fool, so he naturally knows what Mother Lu is thinking. He raised his head and directly mentioned his grandfather: "My grandfather said that he wants Aunt Daya to come to my house for dinner in person.
My grandfather wants to thank her for saving my aunt's life. If she doesn't go, it means your family looks down on my grandfather and doesn't want my grandfather to thank her."
When Mother Lu heard this, she immediately became anxious. When did she look down on the captain? If this got out, the captain would definitely make things difficult for her.
Glancing at Shitou, Mother Lu suppressed her anger, looked at Lu Daya and shouted, "Da Ya, you are a dead person. Why are you still sitting there when you didn't see Shitou coming to call you to eat?"
Lu Daya raised her head and walked over. She looked at the people watching the excitement around her and said aggrievedly, "Mom, didn't you stop me from coming out?"
Mother Lu was so angry that she almost died. This girl was deliberately embarrassing her. It turned out that daughters were all money-losing goods and only knew how to embarrass her.
"When did I stop you from going? Go quickly and don't make your captain wait anxiously."
Lu Daya nodded quickly, glanced at Shi Tou and motioned him to go first.
Seeing her daughter was so angry, Mother Lu waved her hand and said, "Hurry up and leave."
After hearing this, Lu Daya immediately chased after the stone.
When Mother Lu saw her daughter leave, she walked into the yard cursing, "You little bitch, you did this on purpose. You must be trying to ruin my reputation."
Mrs. Lu's face was very ugly and droopy: "Mom, you said that Daya saved the captain's daughter, so this is the first time she sent some malted milk, candy and eggs.
After that, they only gave food to Daya. It was obvious that they did it behind our backs because they were afraid that we wouldn't give it to Daya. How can the captain's family be so nosy? "
Big Brother Lu glanced at his second brother and asked curiously, "Second brother, aren't you and Daya the closest? Did Daya give you anything good?"
Lu Lao Er shook his head: "The last few times Xu Ying sent me things, she only left after she saw my little sister finish eating. What did she give me?"
Brother Lu felt a little disappointed after hearing this, as he thought he could get some good stuff out of it.
Alas, he is the captain, why is he so stingy?
Mrs. Lu looked at Lu Aimin in a provocative way: "I thought my second brother and Daya had such a good relationship, but now it seems like they are nothing!"
Lu Aimin didn't say anything. He lowered his head and drank the soup in his hand, with a hint of sarcasm on the corner of his mouth.
Lu Daya followed Shitou to Xu's house with some uneasiness. As soon as she entered the yard, she smelled a strong aroma of meat. She swallowed and greeted everyone.
When Xu Ying saw Lu Daya coming, she immediately ran over to her affectionately: "Sister Daya, sit in front of me."
She pulled Lu Daya and placed a stool next to her.
Mrs. Xu was tactful enough to get a set of bowls and chopsticks for the girl.
Everyone in the Xu family is grateful to Lu Daya.
Although Aunt Xu didn’t like her lazy sister-in-law, she couldn’t bear to let her die, so she was grateful to Lu Daya: “Da Ya, just treat it as your own home, don’t be polite, eat whatever you want.
You were able to save my Yingying, and our whole family is grateful to you."
Mother Xu was very satisfied with what Aunt Xu said. She picked up the spoon and served Lu Daya a bowl of rabbit meat. "Eat quickly. When you are done, serve yourself. Don't be restrained."
"Yes, Daya, your sister-in-law is right, it's just like your own home."
Lu Daya smiled at them somewhat awkwardly, then picked up the chopsticks: "Thank you, uncle, aunt, and sister-in-law."
Xu Ying took a multi-grain steamed bun for Daya and one for herself, and started eating with big mouthfuls.
Lu Daya saw that everyone had started eating, so she started eating too.
As soon as Lu Daya took a bite of the rabbit meat, her eyes turned red from the spiciness.
Xu Ying saw it and asked hurriedly: "Sister Daya, can you eat spicy food? If not, I'll pour you a glass of water so you can dip it in it."
Lu Daya was stunned. It wouldn't be spicy if you eat it standing up? She stood up in confusion. Xu Ying's family looked at her with some confusion.
"Daya, is there something you want to talk about?" Xu's mother asked curiously.
Lu Daya shook her head.
Xu's mother immediately said, "It's alright, sit down and eat."
