Lili and Shen Jialuo were immediately overjoyed and happily took the puppy home.
When Yang saw that they had brought back a puppy, she didn't spoil their fun after hearing Shen Jialuo's story.
How could she extinguish the little flame of kindness that the child had?
Yang gave the puppy a small bowl and filled it with water. Lili held the bowl to the puppy's mouth, but the puppy couldn't drink from it, so Lili used her hand to scoop the water and feed it to the puppy.
I took some leftover cured chicken from lunch, crushed the chicken, soaked it in water to soften it, and fed it to the puppy.
Lili was feeding it very attentively, and Shen Jialuo squatted down beside her watching. He said to Lili, "Libao, shall we give it a name?"
"Okay." Pear thought for a moment.
Having survived a great calamity, one is bound to have good fortune in the future; let's call it "Great Fortune."
Good fortune will come later, and great fortune will follow.
"This name is great; it sounds very different!"
The dogs in the village are all named Wangcai and Dahuang, but Houfu is truly a name that Li Bao came up with – it's just different!
After feeding Houfu, Yang Ji also finished roasting the two swallows.
The bird was roasted to perfection, with an enticing color and a golden, crispy skin.
The unique aroma slowly wafted out, entering people's nasal cavity and making them drool.
"Here, eat it while it's hot!" Yang Ji handed them one in each hand. "It's a little hot, remember to blow on it."
"Wow, it smells so good!"
Lili has eaten roast chicken, roast fish, and roast pork, but she has never eaten roast bird.
Although this roasted bird is small and doesn't look like it has much meat, it looks very appealing and is sprinkled with cumin and other seasonings, making it very tempting.
Lili blew on it and took a bite.
Wow! It's so delicious!
Taking a bite, the crispy outer layer makes a slight "crunch" sound as it is pressed against your teeth, bringing a pleasantly crunchy sensation.
You could tell that Yang Ji had tried his best to control the heat, and the meat was roasted very tenderly.
Pear-pear happily held it to Yang's lips: "Mother, you eat too!"
Shen Jialuo also handed some to Yang Ji: "Grandpa, you should eat too!"
Mrs. Yang was delighted that her little darling was so sweet. She took a bite and found it delicious.
Although it can be finished in two bites.
"Alright, after you finish eating the roasted bird, you two go to Grandma's house next door, return the basket to her, and take her some things while you're at it, understand?"
"good!"
"knew."
Yang put some of the wood ear mushrooms and mushrooms she had brought into the basket, along with some cured chicken, and covered everything with a cloth.
After eating the fragrant roasted bird, Lili used a damp cloth to wipe Houfu's dirty body as much as possible.
Houfu is too young to take a bath, so we can only wipe him down for now.
After finishing these tasks, Shen Jialuo carried a basket and took Lili with him to deliver things to Old Lady Zhang.
"Knock knock knock".
The door was quickly opened, and a boy about the same age as Shen Jiawen appeared; he was Zhang Laopozi's eldest grandson, A Niu.
Who are you looking for?
Ah Niu didn't recognize Li Li and Shen Jialuo, but he recognized the baskets they were carrying; his great-grandmother had brought them out at noon.
"You must be from the Yang family next door?" A-Niu looked inside. "Wait a minute, I'll go call my great-grandmother!"
"No need, no need," Shen Jialuo waved her hands repeatedly. "We just came to return the basket, you can keep it!"
Shen Jialuo shoved the basket over and pulled Lili away.
Ah Niu originally thought it was just a basket, but when he took it, he was surprised to find that it was quite heavy. He almost lost his grip on it.
Ah Niu lifted it up and exclaimed, "My goodness, how come there are so many things? This brown thing, is it a piece of spicy chicken?"
Startled, Ah Niu quickly chased after them, shouting, "Hey, did you put the wrong thing in there?!"
Unfortunately, Shen Jialuo had already pulled Lili into the house and didn't hear anything.
Ah Niu's mother, who was also Old Lady Zhang's pregnant granddaughter-in-law, came out, supporting her belly, upon hearing Ah Niu's voice.
"Ah Niu, what happened?"
Ah Niu quickly showed the basket to his mother and said, "Mom, this is the basket that the Yang family next door returned. Two little kids brought it over. Do you think they put the wrong thing in there?"
When A Niu's mother saw that wood ear mushrooms and mushrooms, these two kinds of wild delicacies from the mountains, were rare delicacies even now, she actually put in a whole half basket of them.
Ah Niu's mother naturally knew that Ah Niu's father and grandmother had delivered eggs to the Yang family next door at noon, and she had even complained about it at the time.
My granddaughter-in-law is pregnant, and the chickens at home have finally laid a few eggs. It's one thing not to keep them for her to nourish her body, but why send them to outsiders?
Although she knew that Old Mrs. Zhang and Old Mrs. Yang next door were good friends,
But in the past, it was fine to give each other gifts, but now that it's a famine year, how can we afford to give gifts anymore?
She herself has a good relationship with Wan Niang, but even if you have a good relationship, you still have to live a good life on your own!
But now, seeing what the Yang family sent back, she finally understood why Old Lady Zhang had always considered the Yang family as friends.
That's so honest!
If the wood ear mushrooms and mushrooms were given as a return gift for the few eggs, that would be understandable, but isn't this piece of cured chicken a bit too much?
These days, who doesn't hide their meat a little?
And to be honest, even if they wanted to hide away and eat some meat, they didn't have a chance to!
We only kill one of the two chickens we raise at home during the Chinese New Year!
"Oh my, this young lady from the Yang family, why is she sending us things after finally coming back to her parents' home!"
At this moment, Ah Niu's mother had no complaints whatsoever; the Yang family was truly honest!
We can harvest the wood ear mushrooms and mushrooms, but we absolutely cannot leave the cured chicken.
A Niu's mother, supporting her pregnant belly, asked A Niu to go with her to the Yang family to return the things.
Who knew that Ah Niu's mother had only taken a few steps when she saw Huang the matchmaker leading a woman who was about the same age as her mother-in-law over.
Recently, Matchmaker Huang has been trying to arrange a marriage between the Zhang family and the Liu family in Peach Blossom Village, specifically between the Liu family's youngest son and the Zhang family's youngest daughter.
Zhang's youngest daughter, who is also A Niu's mother's sister-in-law.
A few days ago, the matchmaker Huang came to our door and said that the youngest son of the Liu family had found a job in the city and could earn four qian of silver a month!
With her silver tongue, Huang, the matchmaker, praised Liu Dashi, the youngest son of the Liu family, for being hardworking and diligent, as well as capable and considerate. Her mother-in-law was extremely pleased, and her sister-in-law was also quite tempted.
Seeing that things were looking promising, Huang the matchmaker immediately arranged for Liu Dashi's mother to come to the Zhang family in a few days for a chat.
But I never expected it to happen today.
Since they might be in-laws in the future, A Niu's mother was naturally very polite. When she saw the matchmaker Huang leading the couple to her doorstep, she had no choice but to invite them inside.
The matchmaker, Huang, smiled and pulled Liu's mother to sit down. Liu's mother seemed quite enthusiastic and smiled as well.
A Niu's mother immediately went to the inner room to call her mother-in-law, Aunt Zhang. As soon as A Niu's mother entered the room, Liu's mother turned her head and looked at the furnishings inside.
As Liu's mother was looking at it, she suddenly smelled a faint salty aroma. Upon closer inspection, she also noticed a strong smoky smell.
Liu's mother frowned. Why did this taste so much like the cured meat she used to eat?
