Luo Hao smiled and did as he was told; he didn't want such a good thing to be coveted by others.
It was also Lin Chunhua's first time seeing a sika deer. In the night with only a few stars, she followed behind the deer, occasionally touching its fur and secretly smiling to herself.
My little brother was lucky this time!
Snowball was at her feet, following her steps, rubbing against her trouser leg, making two soft whimpering sounds, as if seeking praise. Unfortunately, Lin Chunhua's attention was entirely on the sika deer, and she completely ignored it.
Waaah... He is an unsung hero.
Once home, Elaine Chao immediately picked it up and stroked its fur, which made it feel a little better.
Lu Wanqing had already praised it mentally.
The snowball is a manifestation of the jade pendant. It can only communicate with its owner within a hundred meters. If it exceeds a hundred meters, it will fly as if there is no signal.
Helping Lin Ye hunt was its own decision, and this time it received praise from its owner, its tail practically wagging in the air.
Lu Wanqing was overjoyed to see the sika deer, and when she saw the dozen or so wild rabbits in the basket on her back, she almost screamed.
"I think it's better to get rid of it as soon as possible, lest things get complicated," Luo Hao suggested.
Lin Ye nodded: "I was planning to go to see you too. I was going to go to the county town first thing tomorrow morning. I urgently need money right now."
Lu Wanqing asked, puzzled, "Aye, do you need money? Actually, I have some left, you can take it..."
Lin Ye gently patted her head: "It's not me who needs the money, you'll find out tomorrow."
Luo Hao quickly turned his face away. How could a single guy like him look at this?
He hadn't even had dinner yet, but he already felt like he was stuffed with dog food!
Lin Chunhua walked away shyly and brought out the food.
One dish of scrambled eggs with chives, one dish of fried pork cracklings with fermented black beans and garlic, and one dish of braised eggplant. The dishes were no longer hot, but their stomachs were growling with hunger, and they instantly turned into hungry gluttons.
Luo Hao also stayed to eat without any hesitation. After finishing a bowl, he wiped his mouth and found his hands covered in oil. Before he had even finished chewing the rice, he laughed and said, "It's been a long time since I've had such a juicy meal. The saltiness is just right too. Sister-in-law, you are so virtuous."
Lu Wanqing had no intention of taking credit, and pointed to Lin Chunhua, saying, "It was all done by my sister."
Luo Hao touched the back of his head, his ears suddenly turning red: "So it was Sister Chunhua who made it!"
Seeing that he had finished a bowl, Lin Chunhua took his bowl and added another bowl of rice for him: "Eat more if you like it."
Luo Hao initially wanted to refuse, thinking that eating two bowls of white rice in one meal was too extravagant. However, seeing that Lin Ye's expression was normal, he added another bowl for himself and ate it without any qualms.
Lin Ye, that kid, is really lucky. If he sells the meat of a sika deer, it'll fetch at least 60 yuan per jin (500 grams).
These days, even pork is in short supply, let alone venison, which is believed to replenish qi and blood.
Many families with new mothers or patients are willing to buy venison to eat, believing it can help produce milk and improve physical condition.
Every part of a sika deer is valuable, and deer penis is the most sought-after. If a man in a family can't have children, who wouldn't want to buy one and stew it at home?
Such a good product has been sought after by countless people in private; once it hits the market, it will definitely be a hot commodity.
After finishing their meal, Lin Ye and Luo Hao discussed that they would set off at three in the morning.
After Luo Hao left, everyone in the family started washing up.
Lin Ye needs to get up early, so he should hurry up and get some sleep.
The sika deer and hare were tied up with ropes and placed in the corner of the wall. When it got dark, they started to doze off.
With Xueqiu watching over them, Lu Wanqing wasn't worried about them running away.
However, all night long, she kept thinking about what Lin Ye wanted the money for.
She clearly has money, so why not use hers? Is it being too formal?
She brought it up several times, but Lin Ye always acted mysteriously, so she had no choice but to give up.
Once he sells the game, he should be able to raise enough money.
Because of Lin Chunhua's presence, the established relationship between Lin Ye and Lu Wanqing was disrupted.
Fortunately, both beds had mosquito nets, the thick kind made of linen. After the kerosene lamp went out, Lin Ye gradually relaxed.
Elaine Chao fell asleep quickly, emitting soft snores.
Lin Chunhua suddenly felt like she had returned to her childhood.
When she was very young, her parents slept in one bed, and Lin Ye slept in the other. Before falling asleep, they would always chat for a while.
How innocent I was back then, only thinking about growing up quickly.
However, when you actually grow up, you realize that the happiest time was when you were a child.
Now, his father is gone, his mother has gone mad, and his own marriage is a mess. Fortunately, Lin Ye has found a good wife.
Ever since Lu Wanqing entered the family, their luck has improved.
"Sister, are you asleep?" Lu Wanqing's voice suddenly rang out.
Lin Ye fell asleep before her today, breathing evenly, and she really wanted to know about Lin Ye's childhood.
Lin Ye, now middle-aged, devoted all his energy to comforting her past pain and never mentioned his own past too much.
"No, I'm thinking about my childhood," Lin Chunhua said in a low voice.
The topic was exactly what they wanted to hear, and the two began to talk in hushed tones through the mosquito net.
From Lin Chunhua, she learned many interesting stories about Lin Ye's childhood.
He used to be a carefree child too!
After his father disappeared, he had to shoulder the burden of life at a young age.
After his mother went insane, he saw himself as the pillar of the family even more.
Without anyone to hold an umbrella for them, the children could only run as hard as they could. The siblings supported each other and finally got through the most difficult period.
“Ah Ye had excellent grades when he was in school, but unfortunately…” Lin Chunhua sighed.
Since ancient times, studying has been the best way for children from poor families to change their fate, but unfortunately, he was unable to take the college entrance examination when he graduated.
"If the college entrance examination is reinstated, do you think he would be willing to take it?" Lu Wanqing asked.
Actually, she had wanted to ask Lin Ye this question for a long time, but she was afraid that he had lost his fighting spirit and would resist studying.
“Of course I’m willing! Aye has always been a determined person. If given the opportunity, he will strive to climb the ladder,” Lin Chunhua said firmly.
Lu Wanqing smiled, feeling secretly pleased.
In a year and a half, the college entrance examination will be reinstated, and she and Lin Ye will both be admitted to university.
In her previous life, neither she nor Lin Ye had ever attended university. In this life, they were determined to fulfill their dream of going to university.
She doesn't want to get into a university in Beijing; she just wants to get into the provincial capital, far away from Beijing and away from all the unpleasant people and things there.
However, it's still early. Let's earn some money first and improve our family's living conditions. Otherwise, we won't have a good environment for studying.
"So, sister, what are your dreams?" Lu Wanqing wanted to ask again, but she received no response.
At this moment, Lin Ye rolled over and lay on his side facing her, his long arm resting on her waist.
This time, it was Lu Wanqing's turn to have a dry mouth and be unable to sleep.
