With her older brother back, He Yuhan naturally wanted to treat him to something nice. He Zhenhua was very eager to go hunting in the mountains, so He Yuhan took him along.
Halfway there, He Zhenhua said, "Yuhan, I heard from Yixian that you hunted a wild boar weighing two or three hundred pounds in the mountains last time?"
He Yuhan nodded and said, "Well, Brother Yi was thinking that he wouldn't have time to work, so he took me into the mountains to hunt some game to stock up on meat. We were lucky enough to run into a wild boar that wasn't very big, so we killed it and brought it home. We spent the whole night cleaning it. The cured meat that Brother Yi brought you is from that wild boar."
Looking at the surrounding mountains, He Zhenhua said, "With the skills, you'll never have to worry about food if you're in the mountains. There are other mountains not far from the county town, but Qi Shen and I never have the time. Otherwise, we could at least bring back a couple of animals. But big guys like wild boars are too dangerous. Hunting a few pheasants or rabbits is already quite good. And that's not something an ordinary person can do. You know, those pheasants and rabbits are quite cunning."
"Since Yixian isn't here, you should avoid going into the mountains as much as possible. If you do go, be careful. If you encounter large animals like wild boars, stay away. If necessary, climb a tree."
He Yuhan said, "Big brother, you know my abilities. Wild boars can't hurt me at all. They're just here to give me meat."
Thinking of his sister's amazing abilities, He Zhenhua said mysteriously, "Then if you encounter a wild boar, can you collect it like you would any other inanimate object?"
He Yuhan nodded and said, "Of course, once I put the living creature away, it will remain still, but it will come back to life when I release it."
Upon hearing this, He Zhenhua's eyes widened, and he exclaimed, "That's amazing! Goodness, then you can just walk sideways in the mountains and have as much prey as you want!"
He Yuhan said helplessly, "But I have to be able to find them! Besides, some prey run very fast, and I can't catch them at all, let alone put them into my storage space."
He Zhenhua nodded and said, "That's true, hunting isn't so easy. Luckily you can shoot arrows, so you don't have to worry about that. I think Mom and Dad look younger; it seems that life in the countryside is good for you."
He Yuhan rolled her eyes and said, "The reason why Mom and Dad are in such good condition is because I carefully took care of them. Dad had tuberculosis and Mom has a heart condition. I was always worried about their health. Now that things have settled down, and there are plenty of herbs in the mountains, I took care of all the elders."
In addition, their daily meals are good and they get adequate nutrition, so their health has naturally improved a lot, and they look younger. I want them to live to be a hundred years old, so of course I need to take good care of their health.”
He Zhenhua sighed, "You're more considerate than us older brothers. No wonder people say daughters are their parents' little cotton-padded jackets. It's a pity I only have Haobo as my son. I don't even know what he'll be like when he grows up."
He Yuhan laughed and said, "Wanting a daughter is easy, isn't it? Just find someone else to marry and have a daughter, isn't that easy?"
Upon hearing this, He Zhenhua quickly shook his head and said, "I don't want to make things difficult for myself. I just want to raise Haobo to adulthood, and I don't want to think about anything else."
He Yuhan sighed and said, "Brother, are you still traumatized by Haobo's mother? Not all women are like her. Look at the women around us, aren't they all wonderful? Don't you want to find a woman you love and who will be your life partner? You'll have someone to keep you company when you're old."
He Zhenhua said helplessly, "I understand what you're saying, and my parents have told me this many times. But, Yuhan, I've already been married once and have a son. I don't want to get married just for the sake of getting married. If I really meet someone I like in the future, and that person is good to Haobo, I'm not opposed to remarrying."
If I can't meet that kind of person, I'd rather be single than settle for less.
He Yuhan understood her brother's thoughts and thought that if she looked slowly, she might meet someone suitable. She still hoped that her brother could have a happy married life and a gentle and virtuous wife who would love and care for him.
The brother and sister chatted as they entered the mountains. There was little prey on the outskirts of the mountains, and of course, no danger. To catch prey quickly, they had to venture deeper into the mountains.
He Yuhan sprayed snake and insect repellent on herself and her older brother, and also brought medicine packs, so she didn't have to worry about being bitten by venomous snakes.
They didn't plan to go far, just hunt some pheasants and rabbits. As they ventured deeper into the mountains, the prey became more plentiful, and every now and then a rabbit would dart out, which of course couldn't escape He Yuhan's sharp arrows and would be shot dead by her.
He Zhenhua witnessed his younger sister's skill once again; her arrows never missed. He watched as pheasants and rabbits vanished from her grasp. Although he had seen it before, it still felt magical. The two of them could hunt effortlessly without carrying any prey.
After hunting for a while, He Zhenhua got itchy and asked He Yuhan for a bow and arrow to hunt as well. However, his accuracy was far from good, mainly due to a lack of practice. His shooting technique was still quite good, though.
He had finally satisfied his hunting urge and had even shot several prey, feeling incredibly satisfied. The two of them had indeed had a good haul. He Zhenhua was both relieved and disappointed that they hadn't encountered any wild boars, only small game, but that was still good enough. At least there wouldn't be any danger.
After returning home, He Zhenhua took the initiative to prepare the game, and Han Xiao and He Chenglin also helped skin the rabbit. Wen Jinyu and Yu Huiru boiled water and plucked the chicken feathers.
They had collected quite a few beautiful pheasant feathers at home. Wen Jinyu and her friends planned to make a few feather dusters.
He Yuhan started cooking early that evening, stewing a big pot of meat so that her older brother could eat his fill.
He Yuhan specially stewed a pheasant soup with medicinal herbs. It tasted delicious and was nourishing, so that her older brother could also benefit from it.
He Zhenhua and his family had a wonderful day, and happily returned to the county town with some of the spoils he and his sister had collected in the mountains. They needed to find a house as soon as possible so they could bring their son to live with them in the county town.
Factory manager Han Yixian was extremely busy, even his mealtimes were rushed. But even in his busy schedule, he didn't forget to ask Gu Qishen to find him a place to live.
Now that there's news about houses, we should look at them as soon as possible, buy a house, and get it ready quickly so that my wife and kids can move in with me soon. Without my wife to hold me, I can't sleep soundly every night.
After He Zhenhua returned, the three of them agreed to go look at houses together.
Gu Qishen had already screened the houses, only needing to look at a few that were similar. After looking at a few, they unanimously chose one house.
