Gu Zhenqi had washed her hands and started kneading the dough in the basin.
"Isn't Chen Kuo going up the mountain to hunt wild boars tomorrow? It just so happens that we can't go back to my mother's house until the day after tomorrow!"
"Wild boar? Is it that easy to kill? It's very ferocious. Although his uncle looks big and strong, that wild boar must weigh at least 300 to 500 kilograms, right?"
"Hey, just thinking about its two big fangs makes my legs tremble with fear!"
"Zhenqi, if you ask me, you have to persuade him. It's not easy to get him back!"
"You three mothers have finally made it, and now you are living a good life. It's better to avoid dangerous things!" "What the sister-in-law said makes sense, Zhenqi, you can't let him take risks?"
"What wild boar? It's great to kill a few rabbits and pheasants!"
"If your second brother went up the mountain, he might not even be able to bring back a rabbit?" "It's the same with your eldest brother. They are good at work. Hunting? They don't have any tools, they hunt with their bare hands. Eight out of ten times they miss. Those two times were due to luck?"
"Please give them some advice!"
"Yes, if you persuade him well, he will listen to you!"
"Who are you trying to persuade? What are you trying to persuade?"
As soon as Wang Guiying approached the kitchen, she heard the conversation of three sisters-in-law inside.
I had just gone to the toilet and was about to go back to my room, but out of curiosity, I changed my mind and came in to join in the fun.
"Mom, Zhenqi said that his uncle is going into the mountains to hunt wild boars tomorrow. We said it's too dangerous and asked her to persuade him not to go." Ge Yun said.
"Is he serious?"
"Yes, that's what he said!"
Wang Guiying thought about it, turned around and walked out of the kitchen.
"Mom, what is this?" Ge Yun asked in confusion.
"You can't tell. Go and persuade her. She has always doted on her youngest son. How could she let him go when she heard there was danger?" Fan Chun said.
"It's useless!" Gu Zhenqi said casually.
"What's useless?" Ge Yun asked.
"According to Zhenqi's opinion, it's useless for her mother to persuade her!" Fan Chun said as she looked outside. She agreed with Gu Zhenqi's words.
…
Indeed, as they expected, Wang Guiying talked till her mouth was dry but still failed to persuade Chen Kuo.
Finally, she withdrew her words in anger, but did not forget to ask Gu Zhenqi to persuade her again in the evening.
The next day, the second day of the Chinese New Year, early in the morning, Chen Guo and Chen Qiang, with their hands full, took their wives and children out to their mother-in-law's house.
Chen Kuo and they went out at the same time, but in different directions, one out of the village and the other into the mountains.
As soon as Chen Kuo left, Gu Zhenqi handed over the work at hand to Wang Guiying: "Mom, I have something to go out for, you stay at home and take good care of Ruiduo and Fei'an."
She quietly avoided Chen Kuo's path, making sure to see him without being discovered, keeping a distance that was neither too far nor too close.
She knew she couldn't persuade him. Wild boars were indeed ferocious, and she couldn't feel at ease no matter what.
Chen Kuo is a soldier, so his skills must be impeccable. He might be able to deal with a wild boar, but what if he encounters a group of wild boars?
He is really in danger. She has finally lived a new life, so she must have a man and protect him secretly.
In this way, the two of them walked into the mountain, one in front and one behind, stepping on the snow, one step deep and one step shallow.
Along the way, she truly witnessed Chen Kuo's excellent skills. He could accurately shoot down a pheasant that was flying low over the snow due to weather conditions with just one stone.
Before he even entered the mountains, he had four or five pheasants and four or five rabbits in his hands.
Gu Zhenqi just watched and did not use the space to collect. She had already collected some before and she was not greedy for these.
They walked and hunted along the way, and she followed very carefully, so Chen Kuo didn't notice.
This was just Gu Zhenqi's own feeling. In fact, he discovered it at the very beginning!
He intentionally protected her without leaving any trace along the way, and was even more curious about why his wife followed him.
