When Chen Chunlan heard that there were pheasants and rabbits to eat, her eyes immediately lit up and she agreed without hesitation, "That's no problem. Wait, I'll go boil some water."

Chen Chunlan was about to turn around and go into the kitchen, but she stopped halfway and looked at Su Ruanruan with curiosity, "Sister-in-law, how many pheasants and rabbits did you catch?"

"Six pheasants and three rabbits."

After Su Ruanruan finished speaking, she watched Chen Chunlan's pupils tremble.

Chen Chunlan glanced in the direction of the gate and lowered her voice, "Seventh brother's wife, did you meet anyone else when you came back?"

These days, everything on the mountain is public property.

Everyone goes to dig wild vegetables and chop firewood, and no one will have any objections even if they get a little more.

But pheasants and rabbits are different.

Nowadays, every household has little meat to eat. If others knew that they brought back so many pheasants and rabbits, they would definitely be jealous. If someone with a bad heart reported it, it would be terrible.

Su Runrun understood what Chen Chunlan was worried about.

"Don't worry, Third Sister-in-law. We have put firewood and wild vegetables up there, and covered it tightly. We didn't encounter anyone."

Chen Chunlan heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this. "That's good! That's good! I'll go boil some water now. Lao Qi, please close the door first."

It was almost time to get off work, and it would be bad if someone came to visit and happened to see them killing chickens in the yard.

Fu Wenjing agreed, walked towards the gate and locked it from the inside.

Su Ruanruan was also deeply moved.

Ultimately it’s all because of poverty and lack of supplies!

The farmer's earthen stove had a strong fire, and it didn't take long to boil a pot of hot water.

While waiting for the water to boil, Fu Wenjing was not idle either. He was skinning a rabbit.

Although the rabbit is still alive, it cannot be kept at home.

In this day and age, there is a limit to the number of chickens each household can raise.

If anyone dares to raise more poultry, the lightest consequence would be that the extra poultry will be killed. If you encounter a ruthless person, even your family will be torn apart.

So even though these pheasants and rabbits were alive, no one thought of keeping them.

Kill them all, skin them and eat their meat.

Only what you eat is yours, and will not bring you trouble.

Su Ruanruan watched Fu Wenjing skinning a rabbit with great agility and exclaimed, "You have skinned rabbits many times before, right?"

Fu Wenjing kept moving his hands. He turned to Su Ruanruan and smiled, then answered, "I haven't peeled it many times, but it's not difficult."

In response to this answer, Su Ruanruan just smiled and said nothing.

As the saying goes, what is difficult is not easy, and what is easy is not difficult.

Fu Wenjing said it was not difficult, but that was because he already knew how to do it, not because it was really not difficult.

After Chen Chunlan boiled the water, Su Runrun came with her and carried the hot water to the yard in a large wooden basin.

Fu Wenjing first cut the necks of several pheasants with a knife, and then put them into a large basin to pluck their feathers.

Chen Chunlan knew how to plucking chickens, so she started right away.

Su Ruanruan knew from the original owner's memory that the original owner could do the same.

But looking at the pheasant soaking in the basin of hot water, Su Runrun still didn't know how to start.

After all, it was the original owner's skill.

It was really difficult for Su Ruanruan, who had never killed a chicken, to pluck the chicken immediately.

While he was hesitating, Fu Wenjing had already packed up the rabbits. He walked over, squatted down, and started plucking the chickens.

"Ruanruan, you have dug up a lot of wild vegetables, pick them and wash them, and we will be able to eat them soon." Fu Wenjing said in a gentle voice.

Hearing Fu Wenjing's words, Su Ruanruan felt relieved and agreed crisply, "Okay, I'll go right away!"

Chen Chunlan heard every word of the conversation between the two people.

Chen Chunlan looked at Fu Wenjing, then at Su Runruan, and quickly lowered her head again.

I didn’t expect that the seventh son in their family loves his wife so much!

However, as long as the young couple discusses their own affairs and is happy with it, she will not interfere.

Whether it was Chen Chunlan or Fu Wenjing, their hands moved very skillfully.

The two of them worked together and finished processing all the chickens in just over half an hour.

During this time, Su Ruanruan also sorted and cleaned all the wild vegetables.

Just as they finished, there was a knock on the door, and then Wang Maoni's voice was heard outside.

"What are you doing? Why is the door closed?"

Chen Chunlan trotted over to open the door. As soon as she opened the door a little, she couldn't wait to speak, "Mom, Lao Qi and Lao Qi's wife brought back pheasants and rabbits from the mountains. We were just cleaning them up!"

"real?"

Wang Maoni was a little unhappy at first, but when she heard this, she smiled like a flower.

Wang Maoni walked in front, and behind her followed the younger grandchildren of the Fu family.

They are all young and are still in elementary school. It is summer vacation now, and they collect firewood and cut grass for pigs every day. Wang Maoni sometimes follows them to the foot of the mountain.

Younger children are always less calm.

When they entered the yard and saw the freshly cleaned pheasants and rabbits, their eyes lit up and they began to drool.

Although they had eaten pork only two days ago, they were still craving for meat.

The amount of meat last time was really limited, and each of them could get very little.

But this time it was different. They ate as much pheasants and rabbits as they wanted and were full just by eating the meat.

Wang Maoni felt very happy when she saw these pheasants and rabbits, but soon a worried look appeared on her face.

"Seventh Brother, we were at the foot of the mountain just now, and we didn't see you and your wife. Did you two go deep into the mountains? It's very dangerous there!"

"Mom, we just went a little further in. I'm being careful!"

"Mom knows you are capable, but you can't be careless even if you are capable, understand? It's dangerous in the deep mountains, you can't go there. It doesn't matter whether you eat the meat or not."

"I know. I will definitely not go into the mountains."

Chen Chunlan stood aside and listened quietly until Wang Maoni and Fu Wenjing finished talking. Then Chen Chunlan spoke, "Mom, how are we going to eat this meat tonight?"

Wang Maoni pondered for a moment, "It's hot now, these can't be kept. I'll stew a rabbit and two chickens tonight, and smoke the rest. They can be kept for a few more days, and I'll eat one every day."

"Okay." Chen Chunlan agreed and went to the kitchen happily.

The pheasants and rabbits are very fat, each weighing several kilograms. Stewing two pheasants and one rabbit tonight will be enough for their whole family to eat.
