Chapter 239 Zhou Qiuhe Gives Birth
It turned out that the sheep and chickens of Daxi and Sanshun's home were taken away, and they had lost face in the village. Feeling indignant, they went to the county to file a complaint, saying that there was a wolf in the mountain that was harming the village, and asked the county to send people to kill the wolf.
When Xia Juanjuan heard the letter, she was very angry.
Originally, when humans entered the forest, they encroached upon the wolves' habitat, then captured their cubs. The wolves retaliated, and they are still not letting it go?
She watched those people go into the mountains, and did not dare to delay. She hurried into the house and went directly into the mountains from the space.
She teleported directly to the place where she had encountered the snow wolves before, and then followed the traces for a while, and finally found her - or rather, it was the snow wolves that found her.
The little snow wolves that were rescued a few days ago ran over excitedly and circled around her legs without any hostility.
It was a rare opportunity for Xia Juanjuan to see again the wolf leader who had led her to look for ginseng.
Xia Juanjuan told them with gestures that someone was coming to catch them, and they were carrying hunting rifles.
Then, she took out a big white pig from the space and put it back into the space.
The snow wolves had seen her take out big white pigs from space several times, so they were not surprised.
Xia Juanjuan picked up a little snow wolf cub and said with gestures: "What I mean is, I will put you all into my space first, and then let you out after those people leave. What do you think?"
As she spoke, Xia Juanjuan tentatively led a little snow wolf directly into the space, and then came out alone.
When the snow wolves saw that the little snow wolf cub was missing, they became a little anxious, but they did not attack Xia Juanjuan.
Not sure if the injured snow wolf understood what Xia Juanjuan meant, but it walked towards her.
Xia Juanjuan was stunned for a moment, then her heart was moved, and she took the snow wolf into the space.
With this beginning, in the end, the entire wolf pack was taken into Xia Juanjuan's space.
Xia Juanjuan returned home again and continued to busy herself with housework, pretending nothing had happened.
Anyway, there are so many animals in the space that the wolves won't be hungry. Moreover, the temperature is suitable and there are hot springs, which is much better than the icy and snowy environment outside.
The militia searched the mountains for a whole day and night but didn't find even a wolf cub, so they had to give up and gave Sanshun and Daxi a good scolding.
Everyone speculated that these wolves had originally not interfered with humans, but now that they had come into conflict with humans, they had probably migrated deeper into the mountains and would no longer hunt us.
Xia Juanjuan waited another two days, and only went into the mountains after seeing that the matter was completely over, and released the wolves from the space.
The adult snow wolves were fine, but the seven or eight little wolf cubs probably liked living in the space and kept crying pitifully around Xia Juanjuan.
However, Xia Juanjuan had no intention of adopting them and keeping them in the space for their entire lives. After all, except for her, the owner, the growth rate of animals and plants in the space was faster than outside.
Although the wolf pack is not that exaggerated, one day inside is equivalent to ten days outside.
Therefore, no matter how comfortable you are, your life will also be shortened.
Apart from anything else, when those little snow wolves came out, they had grown a lot bigger in size!
The adult snow wolves nodded slightly towards Xia Juanjuan, as if to thank her, then picked up the noisy cubs, turned around, and disappeared into the depths of the forest.
Xia Juanjuan watched for a while, then "caught" a few wild rabbits and pheasants and put them in the basket.
By the way, he also released some wild animals from the space before returning home.
In the evening, I stewed wild pheasants into chicken soup, and added bamboo shoots, wolfberries, ginseng slices and other ingredients.
Towards the end of November, Zhou Qiuhe gave birth to another son, which made Li Jie extremely happy.
Xia Juanjuan sent her ten eggs so that she could use them to replenish her body.
Zhou Qiuhe's family also raised chickens, but these were considered collective property of the commune, so Li Jie went to the village cadres and used his work points to "buy" an old hen, which he killed and made chicken soup for his wife to drink to nourish her body.
Somehow Liu Lan found out about this, so she ran to Li Jie's house to ask for chicken soup.
Li Jie couldn't save his face, so he served her a bowl of chicken wings and chicken breast in it.
Liu Lan was so angry that she didn't care about her face anymore. She scolded him, "You just give this to your mother to eat? What about such fat chicken legs? I raised you, don't you deserve to eat a chicken leg?"
Li Jie was so angry that he snatched the bowl from her hand with a dark face and said in a cold voice: "Mom! I only serve you chicken soup because you raised me. As for the big chicken drumstick, my wife just gave birth to a child, shouldn't I give her some to nourish her body? And there are three little kids at home, who doesn't want to eat meat all year round? It's not too much to let them share the chicken drumstick? If you are still not satisfied with the chicken wings and breast meat, forget it. I won't serve you this chicken soup! Why don't you go to your second brother's house and see if he cares about you!"
After hearing these words, Liu Lan no longer dared to make trouble and sat dejectedly by the door drinking chicken soup.
Zhou Qiuhe heard Li Jie and Liu Lan arguing in the house, and she couldn't help but feel relieved.
In the past, Li Jie was dull and honest, and she suffered a lot because of him. In the past two years, this rough man has really become tough and is willing to argue with Liu Lan for her and the children.
Li Jie came in and brought Zhou Qiuhe some chicken soup with big chicken legs. Zhou Qiuhe smiled and said, "Eat it. You're out repairing pig pens in such a cold weather. Eating it will help you keep warm."
Li Jie said, "You are in confinement, what's the point of me eating? Others have mothers-in-law take care of their daughters-in-law during confinement. Last year, Junjun was in confinement, and her mother was also taking care of her. In our family, your mother's family is far away, so I am the only one left to take care of you. You have been wronged enough, and I am still eating your chicken legs. Am I still a man? You eat yours, and the chicken heads, chicken necks, and chicken feet in this pot are all mine! You can't be hungry!"
After hearing this, Zhou Qiuhe felt very happy and had to eat the chicken leg. However, there was still a lot of meat left on the bone, so she shouted that she didn't want to eat it anymore.
Li Jie felt sorry for the bone, so he took it and chewed it clean before he was done.
Zhou Qiuhe felt relieved to see that her man had finally gotten to eat the chicken leg.
As she slept in Li Jie's arms at night, she couldn't help but said shyly, "Just bear with it for a while. When I'm out of confinement, I will...definitely reward you well."
Li Jie naturally knew what this reward meant, and his heart was itching, so he could only touch his wife all over to satisfy his urge.
Li Qiang and Wang Guixiang finally issued a letter of introduction, and Li Qiang ran to the county town to buy a ticket, and went to Beijing in early December.
