After arriving at the flying squirrel forest, Chen Wang used a whistle to call back the little monkey Jixiang and asked him to help search for the flying squirrel's nest.
Jixiang has become very proficient at this job.
In the morning, with the help of Jixiang, the two of them got more than ten kilograms of various nuts, and Flying Squirrel also caught three.
The two satisfied people left the flying squirrel forest and went to a clean and flat place by the stream. They lit a fire, roasted all three flying squirrels and a wild rabbit.
With the steamed buns and pickles they brought, the two of them ate until they were quite full.
After resting for a while, the two set out to continue hunting.
In the following two hours, apart from a pheasant shot by Chen Wang with a slingshot, there was no other gain.
When the weather gets cold, many animals, like humans, like to stay in their nests and sleep in. They will not come out unless they are extremely hungry and need to find food.
"It looks like we didn't gain anything today. Let's go back?"
Chen Wang looked at Chen Dazhuang inquiringly.
Chen Dazhuang nodded somewhat unwillingly.
So the two of them returned the same way, always keeping an eye on their surroundings on the way, hoping to come across some good stuff.
However, we didn't see any pheasants or rabbits until we walked out of the mountains.
"Awang, how about coming back tomorrow?"
Chen Dazhuang made a suggestion.
"I won't come. Apart from these ten pounds of nuts, I can't get much more than sleeping at home!"
"No, we can't have such bad luck every day!"
"The weather is getting colder, and there are too few prey in the mountains during the day."
"Come tonight?"
Chen Dazhuang looked at him with burning eyes.
Chen Wang had an unwilling expression on his face.
It's so cold today. Wouldn't it be comfortable for you to sleep comfortably with your wife in your arms at night? Why do you have to come to the mountains and work yourself to death and suffer the cold?
I have to say that after his mindset changed, he became more and more lazier.
"No, Awang, I know you are not short of money and you have other ways to make money, but we are grown men and we can't stay idle at home all day. Even if my wife doesn't say anything, I am worried!"
Chen Dazhuang said with a bitter face.
"What are you panicking about?"
Chen Wang looked at him with amusement.
Chen Dazhuang hesitated to speak.
"Are you afraid that your wife will dislike you and divorce you?"
"Bah, bah, bah, what bullshit are you talking about!"
"Hahaha……"
Seeing his serious expression, Chen Wang couldn't help but burst out laughing.
If he were to travel back in time to an earlier era, he would indeed have such concerns.
At that time, if a man lost his job, he would most likely be divorced soon. Women were willing to share the good times, but very few were willing to share the bad times.
This era is completely different.
As long as the man does not cheat and does not make any mistakes in principle, women generally will not choose to divorce.
If Lin Xiuqin really had this plan, she would not have chosen to support the family alone and suffered so much in the past two years.
"You, just think too much."
Chen Wang patted his shoulder and said with a smile: "Not going out to hunt does not mean we don't have to work. What's more, your wife is still pregnant. You can do some housework such as washing clothes and cooking. Believe it or not, your wife will not only not dislike you, but will also think you are a caring and good man."
Chen Dazhuang was stunned when he heard this, scratched his head and said, "But I'm a grown man, it's not appropriate for me to do the laundry and cooking at home, right?"
"Hey, hey...Comrade Chen Dazhuang, you have a bad attitude. Who told you that housework must be done by women?"
"No, I..."
"So before your wife came into the family, your family didn't cook? Didn't they wash clothes? So you married a wife just to wash clothes, cook and serve you two?"
Chen Wang questioned angrily.
"Okay, okay, I was wrong, stop talking!"
Chen Dazhuang's face changed drastically and he quickly admitted his mistake.
He could imagine that if this got to his wife's ears, there would be big trouble.
"So, change your mindset quickly."
Chen Wang smiled and said.
Chen Dazhuang nodded thoughtfully, thinking that he really had to help share some of the housework.
People are not afraid of hardship, but are afraid of comparison.
What's more, his family is so close to Awang's family. Just because his wife doesn't say anything now doesn't mean she doesn't have any thoughts in her mind.
"Awang, if you have time, can you teach me how to cook? I'm a terrible cook."
"Come on, it doesn't matter if your cooking skills are poor. What matters is whether you can do it or not. Women look at your attitude."
"No, why do you know so much?"
Chen Dazhuang looked at him in surprise.
"That's nothing."
Chen Wang grinned.
Just kidding, in the past, there were all kinds of emotional gurus on short video software. If you watch them enough, anyone can give a few words of truth.
…
…
The two men returned to the village. The villagers had seen them return with a full load of hunting many times before, so they were a little surprised to see them return empty-handed today.
When they arrived at Chen Dazhuang's house, Chen Wang pretended to divide today's harvest.
The prey was not much, mainly the more than ten pounds of nuts in the medicine basket.
"Take them all back. I don't want them."
Chen Dazhuang spoke up.
"No, half each, these nuts are good for pregnant women."
"Then take it back and fry it together. I'll get some back later to avoid trouble."
"Okay, I'll go back then. Remember what we just said."
Chen Wang smiled and raised his eyebrows.
"clear."
Chen Dazhuang nodded solemnly.
"come on!"
Chen Wang smiled and patted his shoulder again, then turned and left.
