Yan Xiaonan quickly whispered to Cuihua, and Cuihua, relieved, slapped Yan Xiaonan: "You're up to your old tricks again, you scared your mother to death."
"Mom, what if I really lose my magic power?" Yan Xiaonan grabbed Cuihua's hand and shook it.
“Your dad is right. If it’s gone, it’s gone. We all have hands and feet, we’re not afraid of starving to death. Besides, your mom has saved up a lot of money, we won’t go hungry,” Cuihua said nonchalantly.
Grandma Yan felt comforted. Even if her precious baby lost her magical powers, her son and daughter-in-law would treat her well: "My precious baby, I've kept all the good things you gave me. They'll all be yours from now on. You won't go hungry, my precious baby."
Yan Xiaonan was deeply moved. Her parents and grandmother were so kind; their care and love for her were genuine, and her kindness to them was also heartfelt.
Yan Xiaonan glanced at the tender sprouts on the black soil again and smiled with satisfaction: "Grandma, Daddy, Mommy, that's it for today."
Yan Xiaoqiang objected. He'd finally come all this way to the mountains; he should at least bring back some local produce. He said, "Nannan, how about we..."
Before he could finish speaking, several wild rabbits and pheasants, as well as a fawn, fell from the sky. Upon seeing the fawn, Yan Xiaonan was speechless. Could it be that it was just born and had its leg broken when it was thrown down from a great height by a mountain eagle?
Everyone looked up and saw several eagles perched in the tree. Yan Xiaonan's eyes lit up: "Are these all your children?"
The mountain eagle chirped, flapped its wings a few times, circled above Yan Xiaonan and the others a few times, and flew away into the distance. The other two followed suit, flapping their wings up and down, circling a few times, and then flew away.
Grandma Yan looked at the fawn that had fallen to the ground and tried to get up, but kept falling down, with heartache, and asked Yan Xiaonan, "Baby, what should we do with this fawn?"
Yan Xiaonan closed his eyes, his supernatural power enveloping Xiaolu's entire body. Thankfully, it was just a broken leg. He would try to see if his mountain god energy could restore the broken leg. After a short while, Xiaolu finally stood up, ran to Yan Xiaonan's side, and affectionately nuzzled against him, unwilling to leave.
Yan Xiaonan looked at the fawn, which was a little bigger than a dog, and felt an overwhelming affection for it. She squatted down and looked at the fawn: "Would you like to come home with me?"
The fawn poked its head out, clearly agreeing. Yan Xiaonan then looked at her parents and asked, "Mom and Dad, do you want to take the fawn home and raise it?"
After all, I have to go to school, and my parents take care of everything at home.
Yan Xiaoqiang nodded quickly. What an adorable little deer! He missed the days when Zhongnan and Zhongzi were around. It's a pity the two of them are at Mushroom Mountain and can't come to Beijing.
Now that there's a fawn, the yard will be a bit more lively. Yan Xiaoqiang is already thinking about where to build the fawn's den.
Cuihua happily picked up the pheasant and rabbit from the ground: "Mom, what do you want to eat today? Spicy rabbit meat, braised chicken pieces, or mushroom chicken soup, that's fine too."
Grandma Yan thought for a moment, then said hesitantly, "Cuihua, what should I do if I want to eat them all!"
Yan Xiaonan chuckled: "Mom, if you want to eat everything, just cook it all. Your aunt is a foodie, so you don't have to worry about not finishing the food with her around."
Everyone nodded. Xue Ying looked short and thin, so how could she have such a good appetite?
The four of them returned home with a full load of goodies. When they arrived, Yan Daqiang was already sitting in the courtyard drinking tea and smoking. Xue Ying was sitting to the side, talking to him with a smile. Hearing the car, the two of them quickly ran towards the gate.
Yan Xiaoqiang jumped out of the passenger seat and then helped Grandma Yan out of the car. Cuihua, holding a fawn, also got out of the car. When Xue Ying saw the fawn, she ran up to it happily: "Oh my, where did you get this fawn? It's so cute!"
Yan Daqiang ran to Yan Xiaonan's side, looked at her hopefully, and asked in a low voice, "Nannan, how was it today? Did you succeed?"
Yan Xiaonan nodded: "Uncle, I will go once a week. I guarantee I will complete the task in three months."
Yan Daqiang smiled, his eyes crinkling. With Yan Xiaonan, this lucky charm, everything in the family was going smoothly.
When Xue Ying saw Yan Xiaoqiang take out pheasants and rabbits from the back of the car, she immediately forgot about the deer and snatched the rabbit, saying, "I'm going to the kitchen, Cuihua, I want to eat spicy rabbit meat tonight."
Yan Aidang and Ye Chen'er also ran out of the kitchen. Today, Ye Chen'er was cooking and Yan Aidang was helping out. But from Cuihua's perspective, it looked like Yan Aidang was cooking and Ye Chen'er was helping out. Look at Yan Aidang, his face, hands and body were covered in streaks of coal dust.
Liu Jin was doing a handstand by the screen wall. It wasn't time yet, so he could only greet his great-grandmother and the others while upside down. Yan Xiaonan greatly admired Liu Jin's spirit of enduring hardship and encouraged him, saying, "Practice hard! Tonight, your grandma will cook your favorite spicy rabbit meat for you."
Liu Jin lifted his upside-down body and kicked, his expression becoming even more focused. Grandma Yan glanced at Yan Xiaonan sideways, as if she really didn't know who loved spicy rabbit meat the most.
Yan Xiaonan affectionately helped her grandmother sit down: "Grandma, you didn't take a nap this afternoon, why don't you go and doze off for a while? I'll call you when the food is ready."
Grandma Yan shook her head. She was still full of energy today, and there were many people at home, so it was lively. Tomorrow was Monday, and everyone who needed to go to work or school would go to work or school. She could take a good nap in the afternoon when she had nothing to do.
Little Deer walked over to Liu Jin and looked at him curiously. Why was this person's face on the bottom? After looking for a while, she stuck out her tongue and licked Liu Jin's face. This lick dispelled the anger that Liu Jin was holding in, so he could only get down from his handstand, sit on the ground, and hug Little Deer: "You bad guy, you ruined my training. You're not allowed to eat tonight."
The fawn kept licking Liu Jin's face and hands. Liu Jin couldn't resist and could only get up and shout, "Auntie, Auntie, this fawn has gone crazy! Why is it always licking my face?"
Yan Xiaonan smiled, went into Grandma Yan's house, took out a bag of milk powder, mixed it with warm water, added some cold boiled water, and placed it on the ground: "The fawn must be hungry. Let's see if it can nurse by itself."
The little deer smelled the milk and ran over immediately, sticking out its tongue to lick it, happily munching away. Liu Jin laughed, realizing the little deer was hungry. Since it couldn't speak, this was the only way it could remind him.
Yan Xiaoqiang watched carefully from the side. He decided to go to the bookstore tomorrow to find some books on how to feed deer. As for the words he didn't know, Yan Xiaoqiang wasn't worried. He had a Xinhua Dictionary at home, and his daughter had already taught him how to use it.
The rich aroma of chicken soup wafted from the kitchen, making even Yan Xiaonan's mouth water, let alone Xue Ying's.
