Aunt Liu also put down what she was busy with and asked worriedly, "I hope nothing happened to them. They usually come back early in the afternoon. Why haven't they returned yet when it's almost dark this time? I think the wind and snow will be stronger tonight. I wonder how cold it will be in the mountains."
On the contrary, Aunt Yang Liu showed her leadership as the captain's wife. Although she was worried, she did not show it on her face and said calmly:
"Don't overthink it, nothing will happen. They returned safely in previous years. This year, we have the medicine made by Xiyue, so nothing will happen."
"Don't worry, aunties. We'll just take care of ourselves at home. They'll be back when it's time. They must have been delayed because they hunted too much prey. Come, let's eat some pine nuts. I picked them up in the mountains and roasted them myself. They're so fragrant."
Ning Xiyue took out a bag of roasted pine nuts to divert the attention of the aunts, and started some new topics about how to make pickles.
Chen Yetu and the others also made some jokes, which made the atmosphere more relaxed.
Chen Yetu also generously took out spicy potato chips and distributed them to the aunts.
In previous years, these aunts were all worried alone at home, but this year they gathered at the Youth League Home, where they had fun and chatted with others, and they felt much better.
But after a whole night, the aunts still didn't see the hunters come back.
The families of those who went hunting were all anxious.
The next morning, when all the aunts gathered together again, they were asking Ning Xiyue for medicine.
Aunt Yang Liu stood up and looked at Ning Xiyue solemnly, "Xiyue, we are going to organize a group of people to go up the mountain to look for him. If anything happens, we can get timely treatment. Do you have any extra medicine here? Can you give us some?"
Ning Xiyue saw that they were all very anxious, with dark circles under their eyes. It was obvious that they were worried and didn't sleep well all night.
"Aunt, I'll go with you this time. If anything happens, I can handle it in time."
"Okay, thank you, Xiyue." Aunt Yang Liu held Ning Xiyue's hand with tears in her eyes and expressed her gratitude.
Ning Xiyue carried the medicine box and followed the second group of people to Daqi Mountain, and Aunt Yang Liu also went with them.
As soon as they reached the foot of the mountain, Ning Xiyue noticed Comrade Zhang Jianguo from the hunting team hurried down the mountain.
"Aunt, isn't that Comrade Jianguo?" Ning Xiyue pointed at the person rushing down the mountain in front.
"Where is he?" Aunt Yang Liu looked in panic in the direction Ning Xiyue pointed, and saw that the person running down towards her was indeed the young man who followed her old man up the mountain.
She shouted, "Jianguo, why are you the only one back? Where are they? Are they all okay?"
"Is my husband okay?"
After Zhang Jianguo ran over, others also gathered around to ask questions.
Zhang Jianguo panted, his face beaming with joy: "Aunt, the captain and the others are back here, they're all fine. I came back to inform everyone of something. It's great to meet you here. There's great news!"
