"Hey, why are you back so soon? What's in the basket?"
Yi Bo was washing dishes in the backyard. When he saw the four people coming back, he glanced at the basket in Ling Xiao's hand, which was filled with a large black mass of stuff.
"I brought back the unfinished food. It's still hot. I'll open it for you later."
Ling Xiao put down the snakeskin bag and placed the basket at the door.
They didn't have big appetites, and after eating the grilled fish and rabbit, they couldn't eat any more after adding some fruits, so they brought the rice dumpling wrapped chicken back.
"What to eat? Beggar's chicken?" Yi Bo was full of surprise. Wow, they can eat delicious food in the mountains?
"You'll know soon." Ling Xiao opened the snakeskin bag, took out the washed dishes and brought them to the kitchen.
The two children had so much fun in the mountains that they were in a daze. Meng Qidi and Yi Bo said goodbye and sent them back to the house to sleep.
After settling the two little ones down, everyone was talking around the stone table in the yard outside the door. When they saw Meng Qidi come out, they invited her to eat.
Meng Daqiang took the hammer he had prepared long ago and hit the hard black thing a few times. The thing broke, revealing yellow leaves and a fragrant smell.
"It smells so good." Meng Daqiang couldn't help but take a breath and quickly cleared away the broken mud.
The table was cleaned and a whole steaming chicken was placed on the chopping board. Wang Jinhua took the knife and cut the chicken into small pieces quickly.
Before Meng Qidi could come to her senses, a chicken leg was stuffed into her hand. She looked at everyone speechlessly.
"You are the youngest, so you can eat the drumstick." Yi Bo said with a smile, "The other drumstick and the wing root are for Xiao Chengzi and Chu Jiu."
Meng Qidi...
She was speechless. She was really the youngest...
Almost all the things had been borrowed, so everyone had nothing to do in the afternoon. When they heard that Ling Xiao and the other guy were fishing in the mountains, they got excited and cut a few bamboo poles and went fishing below the lotus pond, where Meng Qidi often set her net.
The stream is too fast, and only the water in that place is calmer.
Four grown men got together to fish, so Wang Jinhua simply took her two sleepy children to the village to find some helpers.
We need help with slaughtering the pig and washing the vegetables tomorrow, and we also need people for the banquet the day after tomorrow. Although we have invited a chef to cook, we also need people to serve the dishes.
The house became quiet in the blink of an eye. Meng Qidi took a small hoe and went to the top of the hill. After not having been there for a few days, the flowers had grown a lot.
"Be careful." Ling Xiao followed behind her, watching her weeding on the edge of the cliff, feeling a little worried.
"It's okay. Xiao Meng is here. You can go and take a look at the sunflowers." Looking at these flowers and plants, Meng Qidi was in a good mood.
When the flowers bloomed, she could already foresee a sea of flowers, but it seemed that she had forgotten about taking the photos she had mentioned before, as the wedding dress did arrive a few days before.
There is no time to take pictures now, so I might as well wait until the flowers bloom.
Ling Xiao saw Xiao Meng appear and protected her before leaving.
After Meng Qidi finished taking care of this side, she went to Ling Xiao's place. The sunflowers were growing better than the other flowers and were already knee-high.
Ling Xiao asked, "What kind of flowers are those on the roadside of our field?"
"It's a mix of everything. I guess we'll have to wait until the flowers bloom to find out what they are."
Meng Qidi said she didn't know what was over there.
"Will we be able to pick it in the future?" Ling Xiao suddenly asked.
"Why are you so cruel to destroy such a beautiful girl?" Meng Qidi asked suspiciously.
Ling Xiao coughed lightly, "If I come back late one day, I'll bring you a bouquet of flowers."
Meng Qidi rolled her eyes at him and said, "Don't touch my flowers!"
He even brought flowers to apologize. Where did he learn this cunning trick?
"Okay, okay, don't move. I'll buy you something else."
The two were talking on the top of the hill when they heard Meng Daqiang exclaiming by the water below, which made Meng Qidi look down.
I thought he caught a big fish, but it turned out to be Uncle Qiu San who was sitting next to him.
Compared to Meng Daqiang who was shouting and yelling, Uncle Qiu San calmly put away his fishing rod and caught the fish.
"Hey, this fish is big." Ling Xiao was a little surprised.
Although the two were far apart, their eyesight was very good.
The fish that Uncle Qiu San caught was twice as big as the ones he usually caught with his net. It was alive and kicking. He put it into the bucket. If Meng Daqiang hadn't been quick-witted, the bucket and the fish would have fallen into the water.
"I'll take it back." Meng Daqiang hurriedly carried the bucket back. If he hadn't been much stronger now, he would have been knocked over.
After the two men finished their work and came down from the top of the hill, Yi Bo and Meng Daqiang surrounded the big bucket.
Meng Daqiang stroked his chin, "It must be the king of fish. I've never seen such a big wild fish."
"How many times have you eaten fish? This fish is probably just a little smart and escaped the net."
Where is the fish king? Has the fish become a spirit?
Meng Daqiang didn't believe it. When he heard the door close, he turned his head quickly and said, "Xiaoqi, Lingxiao, do you think this is the fish king?"
Ling Xiao glanced at it and asked, "Will it affect the taste?"
Meng Daqiang was slightly stunned, "What does it taste like?"
Meng Qidi bumped into Ling Xiao and said, "It doesn't matter if it's a fish king or not. We'll kill it tomorrow. We'll have a banquet the day after tomorrow."
Meng Daqiang...
Because they were going to slaughter a pig, the Ling family became bustling at dawn the next day, and the door was brightly lit by electric lights.
"Just get up?" Meng Qidi couldn't even open her eyes.
Ling Xiao changed his clothes, raised his hand and gently rubbed her hair, and said softly, "It's okay for you to come later. Mom is probably boiling water. There are several grown men like us who are slaughtering pigs."
Meng Qidi rubbed his palm, "Then I won't get up?"
"Um."
She said she couldn't get up. Not long after Ling Xiao went down, Meng Qidi sat up. Even with the pig squealing, she couldn't fall asleep. She might as well go down...
After washing up, Meng Qidi glanced at the door and confirmed that she really couldn't help. She couldn't help press the pig, right?
