Xu's mother had just come back from work and was about to clean up and make lunch. When she saw Xu Ying was not at home, her face turned grim.

Hearing the noise, she turned around and saw a few people coming back. She was a little angry: "Shi Tou, who asked you to take your aunt out? Don't you know that she just got sick and needs to rest?"

Xu Ying saw that she was angry, and hurried over to put out her anger: "Mom, look what good things we found."

Shitou cleverly carried the basket on his back and hurried over.

Seeing that her daughter had suppressed her anger, Xu's mother spoke to her daughter to give her face.

"What is this? Isn't this just pig grass?"

"Grandma, there's more than just pig grass." Shitou said as he removed the pig grass on top, revealing white duck eggs and chicken eggs.

Mother Xu was so surprised that she couldn't close her mouth. Her original anger disappeared. She quickly closed the door and ran over: "Why are there so many?"

"Mom, there's more down there."

When Xu's mother heard this, she hurriedly took out the pheasant eggs and wild duck eggs, and then removed the pig grass underneath, and then she saw the fish and pheasants underneath.

She opened her mouth in shock and froze for a moment. Then her throat moved a few times. She looked at Xu Ying excitedly and asked, "Did you find all these?"

Xu Ying smiled and nodded excitedly: "Mom, let's make fish soup for lunch. I want to drink fish soup."

Mother Xu clapped her hands, her eyes twinkling with smiles: "Okay, there's nothing wrong with that, oh my, our Yingying is blessed.

Many people went hunting in the back mountain, but they didn't see any good things. But when our Yingying went there, she found so many good things."

Xu's mother was so happy that she was almost overjoyed. This was such a sudden surprise.

Shitou followed beside him and agreed with bright eyes: "Isn't it? My aunt is amazing. Those educated youth from our village went up the mountain before.

I didn’t find even a chicken feather, but my aunt went there once and got a lot.”

When Xu's mother heard her grandson praising her daughter, she was delighted and looked at her grandson with more favor: "That's right, don't you see who gave birth to your aunt?"

"Mom, please give some of this fish and pheasant to grandpa and grandma as well!"

The old couple of the Xu family live with the second branch of the Xu family. Logically, the elderly should live with the eldest son, but it is different in the Xu family.

It’s not that Xu Jianguo is unfilial or that the old couple are partial to each other, but the second branch of the Xu family is a pitiful one.

There are three children in the second branch of the Xu family. The eldest son, Xu Shengshun, was originally the pride of the family. He had excellent grades since childhood and even graduated from high school. He was smart since he was young.

On the day he married his lover of three years, his boss assigned him a good job, which was supposed to be a double blessing.

But things went against one's wishes. Just when everyone was in high spirits, Xu Shengshun accidentally tripped over a stone and hit his head directly on a sharp stone pier.

He then bled profusely on the spot. He was later sent to the hospital for treatment and woke up, but he was dumb.

The good job is gone, and everyone is waiting for the new bride to break off the engagement and watch the fun.

But Xu Shengshun's wife was a very affectionate person. She did not regret the engagement and instead married the foolish Xu Shengshun.

Then she married into this family wholeheartedly and took care of Xu Shengshun without any disgust.

The Xu family is very lucky, as all the women they marry into the family are deeply affectionate and devoted.

Xu's mother also thought of the second wife's situation, and immediately took a fish and a pheasant and gave them to Shitou: "Put them in a basket and send them quietly, don't let anyone see."

If it was some cakes and steamed buns, it would be fine, but this is meat, and it would cause a big trouble if someone saw it.

Although Xu's mother has a bad temper, she is very serious when it comes to doing serious work.

Shitou nodded smartly, stuffed the things into the basket, covered it with a layer of cloth and ran away quickly.

Mother Xu looked at the pile of wild animals on the ground and was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling. She took all the animals to the kitchen with a smile on her face.

Then he picked up the biggest fish, squatted in front of the water tank and started to clean the big fish.

Xu Ying squatted in front of Xu's mother: "Mom, send the remaining fish to the Lu family!"

"I won't send the fish. I'll stew it for you to serve to Daya. Given her family's situation, Daya won't get any even if I send her a fish."

After hearing this, Xu Ying felt that it made sense. Lu Daya's mother was patriarchal, and she regarded boys as treasures and girls as weeds.

Even if I send it to Lu Daya, it probably won't reach her mouth.

Otherwise, Lu Daya, who was 1.7 meters tall, would not have saved her, a short girl of only 6 meters tall, and fainted by the river due to exhaustion.

To be honest, it is really a miracle that Lu Daya's family can grow to 1.7 meters tall. It turns out that this gene is engraved in the bones. If the parents are tall, the children will not be bad either.

"Mom, is there anything I can help you with?" Xu Ying walked over, squatted in front of Xu's mother and asked, "Just go lie down in the room, I'll take care of the rest." Xu's mother had a loud voice when talking to outsiders, but she was different when talking to her daughter. She was very gentle and kind, for fear of scaring her daughter.

Xu Ying was unwilling to do so. She was a person who could not sit still now. She had been running around all day during the apocalypse. Now, if she was asked to lie down and sleep, she really could not fall asleep.

She looked at the vegetable garden at the door, went in quickly, and pulled out a white radish:

"Mom, let's stew the fish with white radish. I remember there are some mushrooms at home.

I'll add some mushrooms to the soup later, and stir-fry some green peppers and eggs."

Xu's mother obeyed her. After all, the family had received so many good things, so she didn't feel bad about it: "Okay, I'll listen to you."

Shitou took the basket and went to the second wife's house. When she arrived, her aunt was wiping her uncle's saliva.

"Aunt, my aunt went up the mountain to catch some fish and pheasants today, and my grandmother asked me to bring some for you."

"This fish is really big. Your aunt is really amazing." Zhang Ru exclaimed in surprise after taking the fish.

Shitou raised his head proudly: "It's my aunt who is amazing. Not many people can catch pheasants and big fish in the mountains, but my aunt caught them in the first time she went there."

Zhang Ru looked at Shitou's smug look and said with a smile, "Yes, yes, our Yingying is the best."

When Shitou's uncle Xu Shengshun saw the pheasant, he smiled and said, "Meat, there's meat to eat."

Zhang Ru glanced at the man and said lovingly, "Be good, stay here. I'll make you some fried meat."

"Aunt, I'll go back first." Shi Tou said anxiously, thinking about the meat at home.

Zhang Ru did not delay him from going back to eat the meat. She gave the basket to Shi Tou and let him go back.

Looking at the fish and pheasant in the kitchen, Zhang Ru hummed a little tune happily.

Outsiders thought she was stupid, giving up her good life and marrying a fool. But only she knew that it was this fool who gave her the good things that no one else had ever given her.

It doesn't matter if she is stupid, she is willing to do it.

Shitou took the basket and ran out quickly, not forgetting to close the door before leaving.

When he got home, Xu's mother had just finished cleaning the fish.

"Grandma, should I light a fire now?"

Mother Xu saw that her daughter had already cut the radish, so she said, "Light the fire. Look how diligent your aunt is. She just finished hunting pheasants and she has already washed and cut the radish."

The corners of Xu Ying's mouth twitched, and just this enough made her mother praise her.

I was helpless during the end of the world, and it’s really a bit strange to come back suddenly.

It’s nice to have a house that can shelter you from the wind and rain, where a loving family lives, without fighting, and in a peaceful and stable environment.

Shitou chuckled, squatted down and started to light the fire: "My aunt is not only hardworking, but also capable."

After hearing this, Xu's mother was as happy as honey. She finally looked at Shitou with a good face and said, "I'll give you an extra piece of fish for lunch."
