It's been a while since I've seen Ye Zhenxing. The kid has grown taller. Not only has his height changed, but his voice also sounds like a duck's.
Fu Wan grabbed two handfuls of candy she had brought and gave them to Ye Xiaofeng, who had run up behind her, and then introduced Qin Anning to them.
"This is your aunt. You can have the candy. I'll have your grandma put the rest away for you."
After Fu Wan finished speaking, Ye Zhenxing realized that the beautiful woman next to him was actually his aunt.
He turned to look at Fu Ming in disbelief. How could his uncle, who was like this, have managed to fool such a beautiful aunt?
Fu Ming had met Ye Zhenxing before, so he knew exactly what the kid was thinking. His face immediately darkened. "What are you looking at? Call someone!"
"Oh, Auntie, hello! Auntie, do you really like my uncle? He's so ugly, why don't you go back and think about it again?"
"Ye Zhenxing!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Zhenxing took the candy and ran away, leaving Fu Ming so angry that his eyebrows almost stood on end.
"I should have kept that candy for myself. This kid is getting more and more annoying!"
At first, Qin Anning didn't think much of it, but seeing Fu Ming's exasperated look, she was amused and her eyes crinkled into a smile.
Ye Xiaofeng was the best; she came over and obediently called out "Auntie," her adorable appearance making Qin Anning unable to resist grabbing an extra handful of candy for her.
Fu Wan locked the car and then handed the car keys to Qin Anning.
A group of children had gathered around, and Fu Ling and Qin Mingzhu were itching to run over and play.
"Revitalize! Revitalize!"
Fu Wan called out to Ye Zhenxing, "I'm giving you a tough task: take Lingling and the others to play on the side, and make sure the villagers don't scratch your aunt's car."
"The car belongs to my aunt? Great, mission accomplished!"
After saying that, the child even gave a proper military salute.
Qin Anning was amused by him again, and Fu Ming patted him on the shoulder threateningly, "If anything goes wrong, you won't get your New Year's money!"
"Haha, Uncle, just you wait, you won't get my New Year's money!"
With Ye Zhenxing watching over them, Fu Wan and the others carried their things and headed towards Ye Jianguo's house.
As soon as I reached the door, I saw Li Chunhua busy in the yard.
"Auntie!"
Fu Wan and Fu Ming called out from the doorway. Li Chunhua, who was washing the door panel by the well, quickly wiped the water off her hands and stood up.
"Oh, Wan, you guys came pretty fast today. It must be cold riding your bike. Come on in, I've lit the stove!"
"Auntie, it's not cold. We drove here. There are cars in Anning that can provide shelter from the wind and rain!"
Upon hearing this, Li Chunhua was also surprised. After all, they were family. Looking at the girl next to Fu Ming, she thought to herself that Fu Ming was really lucky.
"Aunt... Aunt!"
Noticing Li Chunhua's gaze, Qin Anning subconsciously called out, which made Li Chunhua so happy that her eyes narrowed into slits.
"Hey, come in and sit down quickly, I'll pour you some water."
Fu Wan and the others placed the things they brought on the table. Fu Wan looked around but didn't see her uncle.
"Auntie, where's my uncle?"
"Oh, he and Ah Lin went to deliver pork to the villagers. Quite a few people came to buy meat just now. At that time, the meat hadn't been separated yet, so they paid but didn't take the meat with them."
Li Chunhua poured a bowl of warm water for each of them. Qin Anning took a sip and then discovered that there was some white sugar in it, making it taste sweet.
She only learned from Fu Wan that adding sugar to water is basically the highest level of hospitality.
Fu Wan also took a sip; she also put some sugar in her bowl. Only Fu Ming's bowl contained nothing but water.
But he didn't care about that at all, and pulled Li Chunhua aside to ask her about it.
"Auntie, how many pounds did that wild boar weigh today?"
"Why did you wash two door panels?"
At this point, Li Chunhua couldn't help but smile and rubbed her hands together next to the stove.
"Hey, that pig weighs over 400 jin (200 kg), and it's a good-looking boar!"
Your uncle sold most of them, leaving more than 100 jin for us to eat during the Chinese New Year.
"The meat of a male wild boar is tastier. Take two legs with you, and pick out some good cuts to take back!"
Upon hearing this, Fu Wan instinctively refused, "Auntie, one leg is enough. This pig only has four legs. If we take two legs back, my mother will nag us!"
A 400-pound pig! One of its legs must weigh dozens of pounds!
"Oh dear, we have a pig's head at home. We'll pickle it and it'll be enough for us to eat for a while!"
After saying that, Li Chunhua stood up. "By the way, stay home for lunch today. I just finished rendering the lard, which I can use for cooking later."
When it came to food, Fu Wan remembered to hand the things she had brought to Li Chunhua.
"Oh dear, you even bought pork?"
Fu Ming spoke first: "Hehe, Aunt, this is for you to come to the wedding banquet. Anning and I are getting married on the 28th, so remember to come early!"
"You rascal," Li Chunhua said without saying anything more. Inviting her uncle to a banquet did require buying pork. Most families would buy half a jin or a jin, but Xiao Cui's family was honest. She could tell from the moment she touched it that there should be two jin inside.
Compared to wild boar meat, domestic pork is definitely more fragrant and delicious. Li Chunhua immediately decided to save the pork for the New Year's Eve dinner, saving herself the expense of buying it.
That's how it is when you're in charge of a household; you save every penny you can.
Thinking this, she called to Fu Wan and the others.
"Okay, you two sit for a while longer. Your uncle and Ah Lin will be back in a bit!"
After saying that, Li Chunhua was about to get busy, but Fu Wan and Fu Ming couldn't be idle, so they also went into the kitchen.
"Auntie, I didn't just bring pork today, I also brought some good meat. Look what it is!"
Seeing that Li Chunhua hadn't noticed the venison on the table, Fu Wan hurriedly opened it to show her.
"Let me see, why is this meat so red?"
Li Chunhua carried the meat to the kitchen door. She had initially thought it was a lighting issue, but when she got to the brighter spot by the door, the meat looked even redder.
"Hey, where did this venison come from!"
As soon as Ye Jianguo pushed open the door, he saw the meat in Li Chunhua's hand. Being an old hunter, he recognized the type of meat at a glance.
"uncle!"
"Hey, Wan, where did this venison come from?"
Ye Jianguo didn't even bother to wash his hands before rushing over to ask.
Fu Wan then told Ye Jianguo about how they had run into Huang Tiejun selling venison at the market the day before, and Ye Jianguo nodded in agreement.
He said that he knew all the hunters in the area, and that he could count the number of people who could hunt deer on one hand.
"That kid is really lucky, he even managed to run into a deer!"
Okay, I'll show off my skills at noon today and let you taste authentic stewed venison!
It was rare to come across such good venison. Ye Jianguo glanced at it and realized that the venison Fu Wan had brought over weighed at least two or three pounds.
His nieces were so generous, he couldn't keep it from them; he had to prepare a good meal to entertain them at noon today!
