They walked for more than three hours before they saw any traces of animals. Qiu Dahe and his wife were in charge of the male and female teams respectively.
Who says they are a professional couple?
Wang Aihong listened with a serious look on her face, while Qiu Yuling covered her face with her sleeves and yawned continuously. With the lineup today, she felt that they would most likely return home disappointed.
Things are accomplished through secrecy, of course this also applies to the hunting ground. Wang Aihong is chattering like a flare, it's strange that she can succeed.
As expected, the rabbits relied on digging holes, the pheasants relied on being alone, and the weasels were deliberately let go. Not to mention the wolves, even the gazelles were not seen.
After carrying so many guns, he only got these few things. Not to mention them, even Big Gray turned his face away, thinking it was ugly and not worth the trip.
It was already late at night, and they had gradually adapted to the darkness. Qiu Dahe felt that he had to change his plan. "Well, it's too cold. Xiaotao should take Xiaomei and the others back first, and we can walk inside. It's not good to just go back like this."
That person is in big trouble. When Li Xingyao returned to the wooden warehouse, he must have been laughed to death.
Wang Xiaotao nodded. "That's fine. Be careful and don't go too deep. When you're done, go back..."
Qiu Yuling got on the donkey cart first. Wang Aihong wanted to struggle, "No, is this the end?" She was like a sentry and had not yet warmed up.
Huang Duoer explained, "There are many of us, and we'll make a lot of noise. We have donkey carts and dogs, and the animals are all alert. Let's fight back and trick them, and then it will be easier for the men to get their hands on us."
Wang Aihong was the second one to jump on the donkey cart. "Then I won't leave either. Yuling, move to the side. The four of us can all squeeze in."
After seeing the women off, the men suddenly became like crazy. In the second half of the night, they shot one after another and managed to harvest seven gazelles, two litters of rabbits, and a argali.
Qiu Dashan brought a sack, tied it up quietly and stuffed the things inside. Qiu Dashu realized it belatedly and started muttering, "Why did you put the donkey cart back..."
Li Xingyao squatted down to help his brother-in-law clean up.
Qiu Dahe came back from behind and said, "Alright, it's time to go. If the fighting continues, the noise will alert the border guards. No more words, each of you carry two, and evacuate quickly."
The four strong young men quickly divided the loot evenly, threw the sacks over their shoulders, and began to retreat in a hurry.
Before dawn, I returned to the Qiu family safely.
"Oh my God, why are there so many?" Li Qingmei exclaimed.
Qiu Yuling and Wang Aihong were still fast asleep, but Huang Duoer and Wang Xiaotao had woken up early. When they heard the noise, they both smiled happily.
Qiu Dashan gave Li Xingyao two yellow sheep, two rabbits and a pheasant.
Li Xingyao said he didn't want anything.
"Take it. Give one to your brother who borrowed your gun, and take the other back home to add to your New Year's meal."
Li Xingyao pulled one out and said, "I only need one. If I bring up all these small pieces, it will be hard to explain if there are more."
After dividing the things, he wiped the wooden warehouse clean, tied it up, and prepared to leave.
Li Qingmei came out of the house, holding a small cloth bag. "Little Li, take this. These are the fried fruits and sugar flowers I made yesterday. Let everyone in the house have a taste of something new."
Li Xingyao didn't push it away. He looked inside twice but didn't see the person he wanted to see come out. "Thank you very much, Auntie. I'll be back soon. Please tell Yuling when she wakes up..."
After seeing the guests off, the three brothers immediately got to work, some skinning the fish, some removing the meat, with clear division of labor.
"Take these two when you get back, second brother, and give them to your younger brother and sister-in-law's parents. Take these big trees with your younger brother and sister-in-law to Uncle Wang's house. Duo'er and I won't be going to my father-in-law's house this year, so you don't have to share ours. Keep them for us to eat in the next few days."
Li Qingmei squeezed over and drew out another pile. "Boss, take these with you. Whether you give them to others or eat them yourself is up to you. Everyone has a share."
The little kids at home were so preoccupied with eating meat at noon that they almost forgot to disturb their aunt's sweet dream.
Qiu Yuling slept until dinner time.
After looking around and listening to her brothers talk about how smoothly the second half of yesterday went, she asked, "Where are my third brother and his wife?"
Li Qingmei put the dishes on the table and said, "No need to wait for them. They must have left some food in Wang's house. Let's eat first."
First they ate the meat, then had a bowl of mutton soup to soak the pancakes. Everyone, big or small, ate until their bellies were full.
Wang Xiaotao didn't wash the pot and followed Qiu Yuling in. "Your second brother said Xiao Li is very good. He has quick reactions, good skills, and he's not a spoiled child. He's a decent person."
Qiu Yuling knew this. It wasn't because of love. She had never let shit blind her eyes. She was relieved because she knew what was going on.
But the fact that she was recognized by her brothers so quickly shows that this guy is capable.
"When are you two planning to get married?"
"I don't know. There's no rush. Not only do I have production tasks for the first half of the spring, but I also have to go south to find an expert. He's also fully focused on his work. Let's talk about it when we have some free time."
She is not the one who should be anxious about this matter.
Wang Xiaotao casually curled up on her kang. "Just know what's going on. If she likes you, then marry her. If she doesn't like you, then don't marry her. If your parents nag you, then come to me and your second brother. I guarantee you'll get what you want."
"Yes, I like those who are good-looking, caring, and smart. He has all of these."
After listening for a while, Li Qingmei stopped pushing the door and retreated with a happy face.
The sun and the moon are our witnesses, and we are all celebrating with great joy.
Other families worry that others will look down on their children, but she has always worried that her daughter is too picky and wastes her time.
In fact, she also likes Comrade Xiao Li. He is always friendly and warm when he meets people. He is thoughtful and generous.
Anyone with a discerning eye could see that he was deeply hurt by his daughter.
"Her father, this is probably settled now."
Qiu Jianshe turned over and patted her head, "You are not his mother, why are you so happy? My daughter, Qiu Jianshe, is a child that other people would hardly find even with a lantern.
If he likes him, it's his blessing. If he doesn't like him, that's normal. I haven't thought of anyone who is worthy of my daughter yet!"
"Yes, your daughter is the reincarnation of a fairy. She's so popular that she needs to be the reincarnation of the Jade Emperor, right? Just wait, he'll be here when the sun rises in the west!"
"Humph, nonsense, anyway, my daughter..."
Li Qingmei interrupted him directly, "Yes, yes, your daughter is the best, your daughter is the best.
Don't be so sullen. She saw that you couldn't bear to let her go and said she wouldn't look for her anymore. Do you really have the heart to watch your sweetheart live alone for the rest of her life? "
Qiu Jianshe thought about his daughter being alone and wondering if she would be lonely in the future.
After they passed away, while other families were reunited, she would sniff at the old couple's graves, and then she would feel her eyes burning and she would feel unwell...
