Chapter 30 Touching the Heart
The brothers on the mountain were busy hunting, and Xiao Nuobao in the house was not idle either.
"Hey!"
She and Chun Ge'er were lying on the same pillow, and she would move her fingers every once in a while, throwing out chickens, ducks, fish, shrimps, vegetables, fruits, etc. Her
little face was red from exhaustion.
But sometimes Xiao Nuobao was too lazy to look carefully, and sometimes
she would throw things randomly. After working for a while, she suddenly realized that she seemed to have thrown out a peach wood sword...
Seeing her aunt's little hands flying, Chun Ge'er was dazzled, and her big black eyes were stunned.
After watching for a while, he didn't see what her aunt was doing, so he followed suit and flipped his little hands, making a silly "puha puha" laugh.
Little Nuobao looked at her nephew who was getting fatter and fatter, and her palms were itching, so she forgot about the peach wood sword.
She rubbed Chun Ge'er's face, and when the adults were not around, she stuffed a big meatball into his mouth.
"Follow auntie's nest, I guarantee you won't miss anything~"
The believers worshipped this little fairy, and compared with those mighty gods, the offerings they gave were also generous enough.
In addition to fresh ingredients, sometimes some toys, cakes, and even home-cooked snacks would be offered.
These little Nuobaos are not easy to take out directly.
Don't scare their mother and brothers.
So they either put them aside or enjoy them secretly from time to time.
"Hmm..." Chun Ge'er smacked his lips and smelled the meaty aroma when he was fed by his auntie, and his eyes were shining.
He was not used to eating meat yet, so he lay on the kang with a meatball in
his mouth, chewing it bit by bit with his little teeth. After drooling, Chun Ge'er quickly ate most of the meatball. The smell was so delicious that he almost went crazy, and he kept laughing at his aunt. After
seeing his nephew finish eating, Xiao Nuobao fed him another one, and then he curled up in a corner, eating so much that his cheeks bulged, like a little mouse stealing oil. It
was almost noon, and Feng saw that her sons had not returned yet. She was afraid that the daughter was hungry, so she was about to prepare food for her first.
But when she entered the room, she saw the daughter lying on the kang with her legs spread out.
Her little belly was bulging and she burped from time to time.
Feng was a little confused and was about to ask the daughter.
Little Nuobao covered his greasy mouth and just shook his head and giggled. Feng was amused by her and didn't pay much attention to it. She went to the outer room to work again.
After a while, Li Qiqiao came in.
She patted her sister-in-law and shook her head to see if her son had peed on the kang.
Who knew that just after she lifted Chun Ge'er up, the boy was full and hummed, anxious to poop.
Li Qiqiao took Chun Ge'er out for a while and came back very puzzled: "Mom, what did this child eat today? Why is the poop so smelly? It's so far away, but it makes our donkey turn its head away when it goes down."
Feng rolled her eyes. She
hurried into the inner room to see the maid.
She saw that Little Nuobao had closed his eyes guiltily and began to snore and pretend to sleep.
At this time, a burst of laughter rang out in the yard.
It was Jiang Fengnian and Jiang Fenghu who came back.
"Mom, my aunt fell down from the mountain!"
"Ah? How did she fall?"
"Haha, she insisted that a peach wood sword fell from the sky and pierced her foot, and she fell because she was frightened. Do you think she has a bubble in her head? How could a peach wood sword fall from the sky? Why didn't she say it could be a pie?" Jiang Fenghu laughed so hard that he couldn't straighten his waist and his face was red.
Jiang Fengnian also laughed so hard that his eyes couldn't close.
"Now the villagers are all laughing at her, saying that she goes up the mountain all day and can't catch anything. She must be angry and confused, so she started to talk nonsense."
The little Nuobao in the house shook his head innocently.
In fact, she really wanted to say that both cakes and peach wood swords could fall from the sky...
but how could this peach wood sword be so good at stabbing.
Hehe, let's be honest, it's quite accurate...
through the gap in the door curtain, Feng saw the girl's chubby face lying on the edge of the kang, with a look of secret joy.
Why did she feel that this was done by the girl again...
After talking about how the Zhao family was embarrassed, the Jiang Fengnian brothers did not rest, but went to deal with the harvest brought down from the mountain.
This time they got four wild ducks, three pheasants, a bucket of grass carp, and half a basket of mushrooms and fruits.
Sun Chunxue was filled with surprise, grabbed the chicken's neck, and was about to throw it into the chicken coop.
The food that Jiang Fengnian and his family brought back from hunting in the mountains was increasing day by day.
At first, the family tried to prepare as much as possible.
Later, the uneaten food was kept in the poultry pen or stored in the cellar.
But now, the cellar is almost full, and the poultry pen is even more crowded.
Mrs. Feng looked at the pheasants in her daughter-in-law's hand. If she threw more into the pen, she was afraid that there would be a "stampede".
So she said, "Eldest wife, tie the chickens to the side of the donkey cart with ropes, and keep these few to sell in the city."
Sun Chunxue immediately smiled and said, "Okay, mother, if you sell them every day, our family can have an extra source of income."
Mrs. Feng nodded slightly.
A few chickens and ducks could easily fetch two or three hundred coins. If we add some grass carp, we could make four hundred coins.
If we continue to calculate like this, we can earn more than ten taels in less than a month, which is several times more than a year's worth of food.
If we work hard for a year, we can earn at least a hundred taels of silver.
Adding the banknotes hidden at the bottom of the box, Feng's heart was filled with excitement. These days are really going to be rich!
Thinking about the fact that there is too much food at home to store, and it can only be solved by selling it, Sun Chunxue and Li Qiqiao's faces were also beaming, and they felt happier and happier.
Sun Chunxue sighed as she worked: "Life has really improved for our family. Thinking back to when we separated the family, it was so difficult."
Feng Shi felt bad that her eldest daughter-in-law had to separate the family right after she came into the family.
She said "hmm".
"You suffered a lot back then. We didn't even have land. We rented a piece of land but were afraid we couldn't pay the rent. You had to water the fields in the dark before daybreak every day."
Sun Chunxue sighed, "That's right. I remember that the donkey cart sometimes didn't obey orders when it was used to pull water. Fortunately, the third brother always helped me. Unfortunately, our family is doing well now, but he is gone..."
As soon as these words came out, Feng's face changed immediately.
Jiang Fengnian's heart skipped a beat.
He quickly glared at his wife, "Why are you talking about the past? You think your life is too comfortable, right? You want to think about the good times so much, so you go to the fields to dig wild vegetables!"
Sun Chunxue realized that she had said the wrong thing.
She quickly covered her mouth, and her throat tightened.
The third brother, Jiang Fengze, has always been a pain in the mother's heart. How could she forget about it when she became so talkative...
The yard suddenly became quiet.
No one spoke again for a long time.
Little Nuobao, wrapped in a small quilt, had been eavesdropping in the room.
When the third brother was mentioned, the mother fell silent. She turned over anxiously and was about to crawl to the kang.
The mother must have been touched.
She wanted to hug her mother!
