Chapter 6 Eating Meat
At noon, smoke rose from every household in the village, and people who had just finished work were bustling back home.
Suddenly, they smelled an aroma wafting over. "It's the smell of meat. Who's cooking meat?" People in the crowd said, smelling as they spoke, trying to figure out whose family was eating meat.
The Liu family was also in the team. When they smelled the fragrance, they also looked around.
Father Liu also said, "I don't know whose family eats meat? It smells so good!"
My aunt also added: "Yes, it smells so good! The autumn harvest is coming soon, and we will definitely have meat at home then!"
Everyone hurried to the Liu family's home. If they didn't walk faster, their mouths would water at the smell of meat in the air.
The closer we got to Liu's house, the more fragrant the smell became. Grandpa Liu and the others looked at each other in bewilderment. Father Liu muttered:
"Why does this smell so much like it comes from our house? Did mom buy meat? This doesn't seem like my style."
"You talk too much. You'll know when you get home."
Grandpa Liu was also puzzled, so he didn't know how to answer his question. He hurried into the yard, followed by the Liu family.
Walking into the yard, haha! Several children at home were staring at the kitchen door and drooling.
When the boys saw their grandpa, parents and mom coming back, they immediately called out, "Grandma, grandpa and his parents are back. Do you want to eat?"
"What are you yelling about? You are all starving ghosts reincarnated. You only know how to eat, but you don't do any work. You don't even help wash the water or eat. What are you standing there for? Are you waiting for me to serve you?"
Grandma Liu became furious when she heard what Liu Jianjun said.
It's already difficult to eat meat nowadays, and her damn grandson is still yelling like that, as if he's afraid that others don't know that his family eats meat.
If Grandma Liu hadn't been busy in the kitchen, she would have hit him with a stick to let him experience the power of the rolling pin.
Seeing that they were having meat for lunch, the whole family ran away quickly and were all at the table in a short while.
Seeing the dried lettuce, rabbit offal, pickled pepper, boiled wild vegetables, and a bowl of mixed grain rice on the table, the Liu family members stared with their eyes wide open and their mouths watered.
Grandma Liu brought all the dishes to the table, held Shubo in her arms and sat next to her. Then she picked out the rabbit leg from the vegetable bowl, put some vegetables and rabbit meat in a bowl, and put it in front of Shubo for her to eat slowly.
After this series of actions, not only the head of the Liu family was stunned, but also several of Liu Jianjun’s grandchildren were stunned.
When did his grandma become so caring? Even his grandchildren didn't receive this kind of treatment, let alone Shu, a girl.
Although his grandmother didn't treat her granddaughter as a human being like other families, she still favored boys over girls! The only one who was not surprised was probably Shulan.
"It's thanks to that girl that I can eat meat today. Does she have any objection to eating rabbit legs? She has to keep her objection to herself.
One by one, they never bring back any meat for me. I am so jealous that my eyes turn green with envy. Now I am old and I am blessed with a granddaughter. ”
"Shuo Tian caught two rabbits, both of which are very fat. After you eat them, you must remember her kindness, otherwise I will not forgive you! Okay, without further ado, let's eat!"
Everyone in the Liu family, young and old, was staring at the meat. They didn't care about anything his grandma said and just nodded in agreement.
When they heard that they could start eating, they all buried their heads in work. Grandma Liu was one of them, and her fighting power was not weak.
Shu looked at the mess in front of her and was extremely grateful to her grandmother for her foresight in serving the meat to her in advance.
Otherwise, judging by the way the family was fighting at the table, she, a three-year-old girl, might not be able to win the fight.
Seeing this, she no longer cared about them and gnawed the rabbit leg with her tender teeth happily. She was a good cook and the rabbit meat was cooked soft and tasty. Her mouth was full of oil after one bite.
During the meal break, the whole family lay on the stools and savored the lunch. Their stomachs were so full that they could not move. They licked the dishes on the table clean, and grandma didn't even have to wash them with water.
Shu also stretched out on the chair to soothe her bloated stomach, savoring the rabbit meat she had just eaten while thinking: I haven't eaten so full and felt so comfortable in a long time.
Even if people ate in the last days, they would not eat as much as they do now. If they could eat until 70% full at every meal, they were considered capable. We also have to store food, because we never know when zombies will surround the city and we won’t be able to get out or find food.
It is late summer and early autumn now, and the temperature is still very high. Everyone lies on the ground under the persimmon tree in the yard and takes a nap for lunch.
Before I went out to the fields in the afternoon, I heard Grandma Liu say that the weather was bad and the meat couldn't be kept, so I stewed the remaining half of the rabbit that night and added some noodles to eat.
If it's stewed, the taste is not strong, unlike the braised dish in the afternoon, the smell can be smelled by half the village.
Everyone was immediately excited as if they were injected with chicken blood, and hurriedly promised Grandma Liu that they would work hard in the afternoon, get more food in the future, and earn enough noodles for dinner.
Grandma Liu was furious as she looked at everyone in front of her. Even Aunt Liu, the eldest daughter-in-law who was quite steady when she was young, was like this, and she didn't care about her image for the sake of eating meat.
Oh, her niece Shubo's mother is the same...
Ignoring those excited adults, Shu turned over and continued her nap next to her cousin. The sun was too strong now and it was not suitable to go out, so she decided to take a nap first.
Life is comfortable now. I eat and sleep. When I have nothing to do, I take a walk in the mountains to find something to eat. Shu also cherishes the current quiet life.
At three or four in the afternoon, the sun was not as hot as it was at noon, so Shu went out with her cousins.
Yes, the two brothers also came with them to chop firewood in the afternoon. According to her brother, he wanted to try the girl's luck to see if he could get a wild chicken. Shu 뀞늀 rolled her eyes at her brother right on the spot.
Still carrying the small backpack from the morning, Shu held her brother's hand and walked up the mountain excitedly.
Her brother said that the place where they went to chop wood that day had not only wild fruit trees but also pheasants. The place where she and her cousin went this morning was at the foot of the mountain and was full of low bushes.
How could Shu not be happy? Those were all fruits and meat. She had already caught two rabbits today. If she came across any wild animals again, she could collect them into the space and save them for later consumption.
When they reached the foot of the mountain, they saw several men and women around seven or eight years old looking in their direction. It seemed they were waiting for them.
Sure enough, the eldest cousin walked towards a stronger boy and started a conversation. She knew all the girls and was with them in the morning.
After meeting up, they walked towards the mountainside together. The half-grown children were full of energy and made a lot of noise along the way.
The further up the mountain you go, the steeper the road becomes. Although Shu had undergone the fusion of the white lotus seeds last night, her physical fitness can be comparable to that of an adult man, and her physical fitness will continue to improve as she cultivates her supernatural powers.
But no matter how good her physique was or how strong she was, she couldn't stop herself from being a cub, a three-year-old bean. In the eyes of others, it was not just a baby swinging its short legs hard to follow them.
The two brothers were also very cautious. Seeing that the mountain road was difficult to travel on, they each took turns carrying her on their backs for a while.
When they got to the ground, they put her down again. She measured the brothers and found that they were all in good physical condition. They sweated a little after carrying her for a while.
In the afternoon, her two brothers watched her, and her cousin didn't tie her up, so she had a much larger range of activities. However, Shulan still gave her some instructions, and Shu lived up to her cousin's care and was not out of the public eye.
There are many opportunities, but this time, she came to the end of the world, alone, and now her parents and family are gone. She can't let her family worry.
They climbed trees and chopped wood. Shu looked around and saw nothing worth putting in the space. Not to mention, the vegetation here was quite rich, with many fruit trees around.
Shu found grape vines, picked one and put it into the space behind her back, and also found kiwi, walnut, and pear trees...
But many of them are not edible right now, so you can pick some saplings and bring them into the space.
Time flies so fast in the busy life that it feels like the sun is about to set. When they found their brothers and sisters, they saw a huge pile of firewood next to them, which they couldn't carry away.
Just then her brother and several other children went down the mountain to ask adults to carry the crops, and now it was time to finish work in the fields.
Going down the mountain to go home, Shu sat on her father's back, her calves swaying gently in the air, while her father carried her small backpack on his back and walked home swayingly.
The moon is high in the sky and the stars are shining brightly.
At night, in the same place and in the same posture, the Liu family members ate too much as expected.
Lying in the yard, the night wind blew, bringing gusts of coolness. After digesting the food, everyone washed up and went back to their rooms to sleep.
The croaking of frogs accompanied by the snoring of her parents next to her, Shu also slowly fell asleep. It was such a happy day!
