Lin Ye did mention it once, saying that Lin Chunhua was not his biological sister, but they had lived together since childhood and had a very good relationship, even closer than biological siblings.
When he was little, Lin Chunhua always gave him the best and always volunteered to do the chores.
She herself didn't go to high school, but she helped Lin Ye graduate from high school.
Now that he's grown up, Lin Ye still remembers his sister's kindness and loves her like a real sister.
Lu Wanqing and Lin Chunhua huddled together, so Wang Xiuqin stopped talking and just urged them to hurry up and cook, as she was still waiting to use the pot!
Lu Wanqing ignored her and smiled as she took out a dress with the buttons sewn on and let Zhao Xiaolan try it on.
Elaine Chao is petite and has been ill in recent years, making her quite thin; the clothes are a bit too big for her.
However, the design was very nice, and Wang Xiuqin's eyes lit up.
All the clothes these days look the same, making you look old and dowdy. But the clothes Zhao Xiaolan wore, even though the colors weren't great, made her look exceptionally young and beautiful.
That old vixen is getting more and more charming with age!
Thinking that tomorrow was her elderly mother's birthday, she rolled her eyes twice and slowly approached Zhao Xiaolan.
"Xiaolan, these clothes don't fit you very well, why don't you give them to me?"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Xiaolan protectively clutched her clothes, saying warily, "No, these are mine."
"It's alright, no one can take your clothes away!" Lu Wanqing quickly stood in front of her to comfort her.
Wang Xiuqin refused to give up and shamelessly pestered Zhao Xiaolan.
Having no other option, Zhao Xiaolan suddenly held out a hand and said, "You want the clothes? Pay up!"
Wang Xiuqin found her ridiculous. The two had been sisters-in-law for many years, and she had taken care of her for so long. All she wanted was a piece of clothing, and she actually wanted money.
Lin Chunhua smiled as she looked at her suddenly bright and intelligent mother, and said in a firm tone:
"Auntie, you're not trying to take this for free, are you? This dress costs 5 yuan to make!"
"Five yuan? Why don't you just rob someone! A foot of cloth only costs a little over two mao, how many feet of cloth can you use for a garment?" Wang Xiuqin winked and clicked her tongue.
Lin Chunhua revealed a proud expression: "Then you can buy the fabric and make it yourself! Making clothes only uses fabric, right? There's a labor cost too! Besides, the most important thing about this garment is the design and pattern making. Our clothes are already this expensive, take it or leave it!"
"You..." Wang Xiuqin was so angry that she raised her hand, which was pointing at her nose, and then lowered it again and again. Finally, she gave in and took out 5 yuan.
Who told her that she can't even come up with a decent gift right now!
Lu Wanqing took the money and handed the clothes to Wang Xiuqin. As for the clothes for Zhao Xiaolan, she said she would just make another one a little smaller.
Lin Chunhua prepared the meal and brought it to the west room, covering it with plates, waiting for Lin Ye to return.
A thunderstorm brought much-needed relief from the heat.
Water droplets still dripped from the trees on the back hill, and the air was filled with the fresh scent of grass.
Lin Ye walked along the rugged mountain path, his eyes like copper bells, searching for his target everywhere.
Snowball nestled in his arms, bouncing gently, sleeping soundly.
Suddenly, he was roughly thrown to the ground, jolted, and pricked up his ears warily.
It turned out that Lin Ye had spotted his prey, but seeing Snowball sleeping soundly, he got angry and threw it down in disgust.
Because his movements were a little too loud, the prey heard the noise, looked up alertly, saw him drawing his bow, and ran away as fast as it could.
The back mountain is very large, and we heard that wild boars roam the deepest part, so no one dares to go too far in.
However, there are plenty of pheasants and rabbits, and with a little experience, they are easy to catch.
The one that ran off just now was probably a sika deer.
Wild sika deer will be a key protected animal in the country and cannot be eaten in the future, but in this era, they are a rare delicacy.
Unfortunately, the deer in the mountains are too cunning and particularly good at running on mountain roads, so they have never been caught by anyone.
In all his years of hunting, this was the first time Lin Ye had ever seen anything like it.
"Follow behind me and don't make a sound." Lin Ye was slightly disappointed, but his expression returned to its usual sternness. He decided to head in the direction the deer had fled.
After walking for a long time without seeing a trace, I found myself deep in the mountains, not knowing which way to go.
It was getting dark, and it would be very dangerous for him to continue walking.
The most important thing in hunting is to know when to stop. It doesn't matter if you get nothing today; the most important thing is not to get hurt.
But when he turned around, he found that the snowball was gone.
Although it's useless, it's my wife's pet and it makes my mother so happy, so I'll reluctantly look for it!
"Snowball~ Snowball~"
He called for a while without getting a response, and he started to get a little anxious.
It's so tiny, like a rabbit, that any fox or roe deer could easily snatch it away.
He had already foreseen that it would be torn apart by its limbs and die a gruesome death.
Just then, he heard a rustling sound ahead. He pushed aside the bushes and, despite the dim light, saw a grayish mass of a dozen rabbits huddled together, their faces filled with fear.
Snowball ran to his leg and rubbed against his trouser leg, as if to say:
"Quick, catch them! They're all terrified!"
Lin Ye effortlessly picked them up one by one and put them into his basket.
Finally, he scooped up the snowball, placed it in the crook of his arm, patted its head, and said, "Good job. Here's a rabbit bone for you!"
Snowball thought to herself with disdain, "How stingy! Luckily, there's some dog food in my space."
For some reason, after carrying the rabbit on his back, Lin Ye regained his sense of direction and gradually emerged from the deep mountains.
Just as it was about to leave the woods, the sika deer seemed to have lost its way. It stood there, its wet eyes looking around in confusion, like a frightened bird.
This time, instead of holding his breath to draw the arrow, Lin Ye slowly untied the rope around his waist.
Using ropes to lasso animals was a skill he had practiced diligently since childhood.
Every time, I catch a pheasant with one shot.
This is a pretty ambitious goal; I wonder if I can succeed?
To increase the success rate, he gently placed the snowball down.
Snowball wagged its tail, squatted on the ground, and leisurely became a bystander.
That's all it can do; it all depends on Lin Ye's skill level.
In fact, Lin Ye simply threw out the rope and secured the sika deer firmly.
The sika deer struggled only slightly before resignedly being led away by Lin Ye.
Snowball followed behind, occasionally barking, unable to hide its joy. Tonight's chicken leg was a sure thing!
As soon as they came down the mountain, they encountered Lin Chunhua and Luo Hao, who were looking for them with flashlights.
Both sides were somewhat surprised.
Lin Chunhua quickly said, "Wanqing was worried about you, so I had to ask Haozi for help."
Luo Hao, however, spotted the sika deer being led behind him and laughed exaggeratedly: "Aye, you've struck gold! You actually managed to get such a good thing."
Lin Ye glared at him and said irritably, "Turn off your flashlight now."
These days, you have to be discreet when hunting a pheasant. If they knew he'd hunted a deer, they'd definitely complain to the traffic police. He needs to earn money to buy a sewing machine!
