Chapter 182 Yan Haotian is urged to get married

It is still unclear what effect the letter that Aunt Zhu asked her brother to secretly send had.

But looking at Xia Fangfang's outrageous behavior on New Year's Eve, there must have been some influence, otherwise Xia Fangfang would not have done such a thing as kneeling down and trying to use village public opinion to engage in moral blackmail.

However, we will have to wait until school starts after the New Year to see whether it is truly effective.

Xia Juanjuan was not in a hurry and just waited for the result.

Yan Haotian stayed in Xia Village until the fifth day of the Lunar New Year.

However, he was not idle these days and went into the mountains to hunt.

There was another heavy snowfall on the first day of the Lunar New Year. All the animals in the mountains were frozen silly, but we didn’t catch any big prey, but we did catch two rabbits.

Naturally, these two were sent directly to Xia Juanjuan.

Xia Juanjuan couldn't help laughing when she saw the hare.

I always feel that all the wild animals in the mountain were caught by her family.

It seems that she will have to go into the mountains these two days and secretly release some wild rabbits, pheasants, wild boars and other animals in the space on the mountain to prevent others from being unable to catch them and then coming back to envy her family.

Then I couldn't help but think of the fierce battle.

When it comes to hunting skills, Xia Shuangshan and Yan Haotian are both pretty good. At least once they go into the mountains, they almost never come back empty-handed. But if they were to compete with Lizhan, they would definitely not be able to compare.

Just think about it, Lizhan can easily find out where the wild boars' or wild deer's dens are, and how many wild boars or wild deer are in the dens. He knows everything clearly, and then when he needs to, he can just raid the dens.

But we won't go all out and catch all the fish in the family. At most we will catch the fattest one.

If he had come back during the Chinese New Year, what he would have brought back today might not be a wild rabbit.

Yan Haotian was quite smug. He grabbed the two rabbits by their ears and took credit for it to Xia Juanjuan and Lin Yuru: "Mom, Juanjuan, these are the wild rabbits I caught in the mountains. I braised them tonight so that my family can satisfy their hunger! The leftovers can be made into bacon. Enjoy them slowly!"

Seeing that he looked like he was about to praise me, Xia Juanjuan tried hard to hold back her laughter.

Lin Yuru took the hares and said with a smile, "Hey! These two hares are quite big, but there's no need to make them into bacon, there's only a few pounds of meat. If they were like the wild boar weighing more than 100 pounds or the silly deer weighing 70 or 80 pounds that we fought back from last year, they would need to be marinated and dried to make bacon and sausage for easy preservation. These two will be braised tonight, enough for the whole family to have a meal!"

Yan Haotian: “…”

What is a few taels of meat? A rabbit must weigh at least one or two kilograms!

Moreover, Lizhan is only the son-in-law, while he is the biological son. How could a mother praise her son-in-law instead of her own son?

Yan Haotian was in a complicated mood.

Xiaowen, Xiaowu and Beibei also ran over to look at the hare. Beibei looked up and said in a baby voice, "Grandma, Beibei wants to eat the hare!"

Lin Yuru smiled and said, "Okay! I'll make it for dinner tonight."

Xiao Wu said with a disappointed look on his face: "How can it be a wild rabbit? My fourth uncle always catches deer and wild boars! Such a big one!"

Yan Haotian: “…”

It’s not like he hasn’t caught wild boars before! Didn’t he catch one last time before Yan Yan Ye Ye Yao Yao held a full moon party? This little bastard has eaten one too!

"You little brat! Do you think a wild boar is so easy to catch?" Yan Haotian spoke through his teeth and couldn't help pinching Xiao Wu's little face.

Xiao Wen took over the conversation and said proudly: "How can it be difficult to catch wild boars? My mother caught three wild boars last winter! The big one weighed more than 100 kilograms, and there were two small ones that were raised by the commune!"

Xiaowen is now a complete "mom-con" and protects Xia Juanjuan very much.

When Xiao Wu and Bei Bei heard this, they all rushed to say, "That's right! Uncle, you are so stupid! You can't even catch a wild boar!"

Yan Haotian: “…”

He really didn't expect that he, a battalion-level staff officer in his dignified army, would be laughed at by three little brats!

Yan Haotian deliberately put on a stern face and said, "Alright. If you think your uncle is too stupid to catch a wild boar, forget it. Your mom, grandma, grandpa and I will eat the rabbit tonight. We will each eat a rabbit leg, and you three can eat the roasted sweet potatoes."

The three kids were stunned. They just told the truth, why didn't they get to eat the rabbit? !

"No... Uncle, you're amazing for catching two rabbits! My mother and my fourth uncle have all caught all the wild boars, so it's normal that you can't catch one!" Xiao Wen said quickly.

"That's right! Catching a hare is also amazing! Hares run really fast! My brother saw one in the field last time, but he couldn't catch it because it ran away!"

"Uncle, Beibei wants to eat rabbit! Beibei wants to eat rabbit legs! Beibei doesn't want to eat roasted sweet potatoes!"

Why does Yan Haotian feel that... there is something wrong with the flattery of these three little bastards?

He couldn't kill the wild boar because it was killed by everyone else. His reference for whether he was powerful or not was Xiao Wen...

Lin Yuru came forward and said, "Alright, Xiaotian, stop teasing them. Come here and help grandma light the fire. Here are two rabbits. Each of us will have a rabbit leg tonight!"

For nearly half a year, Lin Yuru has been eating with Xia Juanjuan. She was also very picky at the beginning, but now she has gotten used to it.

Besides, the wild rabbits were caught in the mountains after all. If they were made into bacon and others saw it, it would cause envy. It would be better for the whole family to stew it in one pot and eat it.

Yan Haotian went into the house to coax Yan Yan, Ye Ye and Yao Yao.

The three little ones can’t speak yet, but they are much cuter than the three big ones!

Yanyan, Yeye and Yaoyao were very close to their uncle. When they saw his open arms, they immediately stretched out their six little hands to be hugged by Yan Haotian, which warmed the heart of Yan Haotian, a rough man.

Unfortunately, no matter how strong he was, he could only hold two cubs at a time. He couldn't hold the other one, so he had to hug this one and that one very busy.

Seeing that the three boys got along well with their uncle Yan Haotian, Xia Juanjuan went into the kitchen to help Lin Yuru cook.

Lin Yuru looked in the main room and saw Yan Haotian playing with his three nephews. She couldn't help but sigh, "Ah! I don't know when your brother will get married and have some big fat boys. It would be great if I could help take care of them! He's grown up already! He hasn't even found a wife yet, but he's not in a hurry!"

Xia Juanjuan couldn't help laughing.

It turns out that when it comes to urging their children to get married, parents are the same no matter what era they are in.

"Mom, don't worry. After all, my brother's adoptive parents are from the city. He has a city hukou and holds a high position in the army. If we want to find someone, isn't it easy?"

While we were talking, dinner was ready.

For a big pot of braised wild rabbit meat, first use rock sugar to make sugar color, then put the rabbit meat into the pot, add water, soy sauce and other seasonings, and simmer. During the process, add large chunks of potato and soaked dried beans. Simmer on low heat for about an hour, then turn to high heat to reduce the sauce. The rabbit meat is cooked, and each piece is red and shiny, making people drool at the sight.
