From a distance, Chen Wang could see the lights on in the house.
A warm feeling welled up in my heart.
He was already very tired, but suddenly he felt stronger again and quickened his pace towards the light.
"elder brother!"
My sister's shout came over.
"I'm back!"
Chen Wang responded and walked over quickly, only to find his wife and sister standing at the door.
"Why are you standing here? Aren't you cold?"
"Wait for you to come back, brother. We are worried about you. Wow, what is that? Brother, did you hit the pig again?"
The little girl asked with surprise when she saw the piece of meat he was carrying.
"It's not a wild boar. We shot a bear today."
Chen Wang replied with a smile.
"Bear? Wow, brother is awesome!"
The little girl's eyes were full of admiration and praise.
She had seen black bears killed by hunters in the village. Such huge creatures were very scary to her.
Lin Xiuqin was also surprised, with a hint of worry in her eyes, and she quickly walked over to him.
Compared to the little guy, she knew better how scary the bears in the mountains were and was worried that Chen Wang would get hurt.
“Squeak!”
The little monkey sitting on his shoulder cried out and nervously grabbed Chen Wang's collar.
"Don't be afraid, these are family members."
Chen Wang smiled and said comfortingly.
"Ah! Monkey, so cute!"
The little girl now noticed the little monkey and ran over with her eyes shining.
Lin Xiuqin was stunned for a moment and looked at Chen Wang in surprise, not understanding why he brought back a monkey.
"Let's go inside first, a lot has happened today."
Chen Wang said to his wife with a smile.
Lin Xiuqin smiled and nodded, then stretched out her hand to signal that she would help him get the meat.
"No, this one is a bit heavy, take this one!"
Chen Wang handed her the pheasant in his other hand.
"Brother, little monkey, can I hug you?"
The little girl jumped up and down to ask.
Chen Wang smiled and said, "Not now, it's not familiar with you yet. Don't worry, it will be a member of our family in the future, you just need to slowly build a good relationship with it. By the way, its name is Jixiang!"
"Jixiang? Hehe... What a strange name. Jixiang Jixiang, I'm Xiaoyu, and I'm your brother's sister!"
The little girl walked backwards, excitedly introducing herself to the little monkey.
As if sensing her friendliness and enthusiasm, Jixiang chirped as if responding to her.
“Aaaah…so cute!”
The little girl was completely conquered.
They went straight to the back room. After Chen Wang put down the bear meat, Lin Xiuqin walked over, opened the lid of the pot, and took out the hot meal.
"You've eaten already?"
Chen Wang asked with a smile.
Lin Xiuqin nodded and brought two dishes over and placed them on the table.
The pork fried with chili peppers and the carrots stewed with mutton, the color of the soup looks very appetizing.
"We've already eaten, brother, please eat quickly!"
The little girl responded with a smile, her eyes fixed on the little monkey on his shoulder, and asked, "Brother, can Jixiang eat?"
“Edible.”
Chen Wang replied with a smile, stretched out his hand to take the large bowl of white rice handed to him by Lin Xiuqin, and said, "Wife, take a small bowl and make a bowl for Jixiang, and then add some of this mutton soup to mix it, make it lighter, and don't give it the fried pork with peppers."
Lin Xiuqin smiled and nodded, and quickly prepared a small bowl of food and placed it on the table.
The little monkey chirped to Lin Xiuqin, then nimbly jumped off Chen Wang's shoulder, sat directly behind the bowl of rice, and ate it with his hands.
While eating, Chen Wang talked about what happened today.
Lin Xiuqin and the little girl were listening attentively.
When they heard that the little monkey went back to help the monkey group, but was ostracized by the monkey group and almost taken away by the golden eagle, they were both very angry.
Then they heard that under the guidance of the little monkey, they found the star lotus and hunted pheasants and black bears. The two were very happy and felt that the little monkey was even more adorable.
Of course, Chen Wang did not tell his wife and sister about the dangers he encountered during the black bear hunting, as he did not want to worry them.
After eating and drinking, Lin Xiuqin also boiled some hot water.
Chen Wang first soaked his feet and felt all the fatigue in his body disappear.
I went out early in the morning before dawn and have been working till now. I am really tired today.
At the same time, Lin Xiuqin also helped the little one take a bath in her room.
Even the little monkey was given a warm bath. After being dried, its fur became more fluffy and soft. It was so comfortable to hug it, and the little girl didn't want to let go at all.
"Brother, brother, can Jixiang sleep with me today?"
The little girl ran over holding Jixiang and asked with a sweet smile.
"Will it be willing?"
Chen Wang looked at the little monkey with a smile.
"I am willing to do so."
The little girl nodded repeatedly.
Chen Wang felt that Jixiang's eyes were a little aggrieved, but he still nodded and agreed, "Okay, let's do this for now. I'll find a way to give it a whole nest someday!"
Jixiang couldn't stay with him and Lin Xiuqin, as that would make him feel uncomfortable.
"Oh... Then I'm going to sleep. Good night, brother and sister-in-law."
The little girl said good night and returned to her room happily.
Chen Wang and Lin Xiuqin smiled at each other.
After taking a shower, I returned to my room and curled up in bed.
After Lin Xiuqin came in, Chen Wang started talking about his plan to buy a hunting rifle.
Lin Xiuqin nodded and agreed without any hesitation, and even lifted the quilt and pretended to give him money.
Chen Wang quickly stopped her and said, "You don't need to take the money. The gall of the bear we killed this time is golden, and we also have bear skin and extra octagonal lotus. We should be able to get quite a bit of money, which is enough to buy a gun."
Lin Xiuqin smiled and nodded, then she also went to bed and got under the quilt.
"I turned off the lights!"
Chen Wang pulled the pull cord switch at the head of the bed and turned off the light.
After taking off his coat, Chen Wang curled up in the quilt, turned sideways and hugged his wife in his arms.
Lin Xiuqin's voluptuous figure can be felt even through a layer of autumn clothes.
But today he was too tired, and Chen Wang felt that just holding her like this was enough.
Lin Xiuqin turned sideways with her back to him, her face red and she didn't move.
She had already made preparations to reward her husband, but after a while, she heard her husband snoring softly.
In the darkness, Lin Xiuqin was stunned for a moment, then she smiled bitterly.
Placing her hand on the back of his hand around her waist, Lin Xiuqin felt a warmth in her heart. She closed her eyes and soon felt sleepy and fell into a beautiful dream.
No words were spoken that night.
When he woke up the next day, Chen Wang was revived with full health and full of energy, which made him satisfied with the strength of this body.
After waking up the little girl and Jixiang, they washed their faces and brushed their teeth, and the family sat together to have breakfast.
Breakfast was noodles with yesterday's leftover lamb and carrots, sprinkled with chopped green onions, and a poached egg for each person. It was delicious!
After dinner, Lin Xiuqin processed the bear meat he brought back yesterday.
This meat certainly cannot be eaten in a few days, so most of it needs to be marinated and air-dried for preservation.
Chen Wang went out to Chen Dazhuang's house, eager to go see the puppy with his master.
