The family returned to the house and the backpack was unloaded on the ground next to the dining table.

Yi Qingqing opened the bundle and took out the items one by one.

"This is the pork distributed by the team for the New Year. It was just slaughtered the day before I came back. This is the pheasant and rabbit I caught in the mountains... and this is the duck with sauce and flavor made from the duck I caught in Luwei**. The chefs in Tieling County's state-owned restaurant are much better than ours. The duck with sauce and flavor is a specialty. I later figured out the method myself, and it's absolutely delicious..."

Yi Qingqing went out to take one thing and said one thing. After talking for a long time, she suddenly realized that no one was responding.

She brought so many things home, shouldn't she be praised? Why is there no movement?

Yi Qingqing turned her head to look at her father and mother, her eyes full of anticipation.

The others were genuinely shocked.

"Oh my God!" Zhao Xianglan pushed her granddaughter into her son's arms, tightly grasped Yi Qingqing's arm, and pulled her closer, twisting her ear with her other hand: "You silly girl, I'll teach you not to bring everything home. There's no shortage of food at home. Did you eat delicious food every day in the countryside? Why did you bring so much meat back?"

Yi Qingqing was very familiar with her mother's habitual actions, and she was extremely skilled at hiding. It was a memory engraved in her muscles. When one of her arms was held, she would dart her head around and hide towards her father.

Nine and a half times out of ten, her mother's hand would never really twist hers.

"Why are you running? I'm your biological mother, what can I do to you? Old Yi, don't stop me!" Zhao Xianglan said don't stop me, but she lost her grip on Yi Qingqing and she hid behind her father.

"Mom, don't worry. I'm living well in the country. I don't look like I've suffered much. Your daughter is working now and has learned a lot! These things are not much, but I brought them back to you two to show you what your daughter has learned in the country!"

"Are you really just trying to be brave?" Zhao Xianglan was still skeptical.

"No, there are many capable people in our team, and you gave me such a blessing. I am very popular with the old ladies and have taught me a lot. You see, there are a few rabbit skins underneath. After the autumn harvest, I have nothing to do. I stay in the house every day. I originally planned to make a pair of cotton shoes for you, but you refused to give me the size, so I had to bring the materials back. Look at my coat and the lining of my shoes and pants. I already have a complete set of them for myself!"

Yi Qingqing said it half-truthfully.

She had saved those rabbit skins for her family a long time ago, but after the autumn harvest, she was not idle at all.

"It's natural for my daughter to be likable. She takes after me!" Zhao Xianglan felt a little happier after being praised. She then took a look at Yi Qingqing's inner jacket and shoe lining, and saw that they were indeed made of rabbit fur. She breathed a sigh of relief and began to check her homework.

"So, tell me, if you shot a rabbit in the mountains, but your friends haven't eaten meat for a long time, what would you do?"

"Eat it yourself! If we have a good relationship and are trustworthy, I can also exchange it with them if I have extra meat."

Yi Qingqing answered immediately. Her mother had instilled in her a lot of similar ideas in the letter. In a nutshell, she should take care of herself first, and not always think about sacrificing herself for others when it comes to people close to her.

Zhao Xianglan nodded: "Then your father and I haven't eaten meat for a long time, what will you do?"

"Send half of it back!" Yi Qingqing said.

Zhao Xianglan nodded and said that it was okay as long as they didn't send all of them back.

She was afraid that her daughter was pretending to be having a good life in order not to worry her family.

After all, her daughter had a criminal record. When she was bullied by Liu Meili, she didn't know to report it, always fearing that things would be difficult for her and her father. If Liu Meili hadn't let it slip one day, she wouldn't have known that Liu Meili wanted to match her good-for-nothing old bachelor brother with her precious daughter!

Her daughter is kind-hearted and very filial, but she always considers others before herself. This kind of personality is lovable, but it also makes her vulnerable. She is very worried about her daughter going to the countryside.

"What would you do if I haven't eaten meat for a long time?" Yi Zhigang suddenly became curious.

Yi Qingqing glanced at him and said, "Brother, I will definitely eat all the meat right now, and won't leave any for you! Hahaha!"

Yi Zhigang: "..."

His sister is still the little girl who likes to argue with him. I thought she had learned a lot and matured a lot after her trip to the countryside, but I didn't expect her to be so childish.

He sighed loudly, "Is this really my sister? As a brother, I am too lowly!"

"You have no status in our family now! Look at the thing you insisted on marrying." Zhao Xianglan glanced at him unhappily, "Your father and I are reluctant to take your sister's things, so of course she has no share!"

The smile on Yi Zhigang's face disappeared: "Mom! I know I was wrong, please stop lecturing me every day. I didn't know that there were people who could do this at that time. Poor Xiaohui, next time I will definitely not do something you oppose!"

"I won't talk too much. I'm afraid you'll do something stupid again. Aunt Ma's niece came last week. I heard that she also helped take care of Xiaohui. What do you think?" Zhao Xianglan glanced at her son with a cold face, then turned her head and said to Yi Qingqing with a smile: "My daughter, your father also went to the grocery store early this morning to queue up and bought a grass carp and a big crucian carp. Do you want to have braised fish fillets for lunch? Or the homemade fried crucian carp?"

Yi Qingqing was still listening to her brother's gossip when the topic suddenly turned to her.

"Mom, let me cook for you guys at noon so you can have a taste of my cooking skills!"

"Don't, you've been on the train for so long, you must be very tired, mom will cook for you at noon, after dinner go to the room and have a good nap, you can do whatever you want tonight!" Zhao Xianglan waved her hand, how could she let her daughter suffer for her first meal after returning home? And her daughter loved the fish she cooked the most.

"My mother loves me so much. I like everything she cooks. I've been thinking about this when I was in the countryside!" Yi Qingqing hugged her mother and acted coquettishly.

"Oh my, my daughter is so sweet," Zhao Xianglan was very pleased, and the smile on her face never faded. "What kind of fish do you want to eat? Tell me quickly, or you'll starve!"

"Let's fry the crucian carp. I'll cook the grass carp in the evening, and use the sauerkraut I brought back to stew fish with sauerkraut," Yi Qingqing said.

"Okay! You play by yourself for a while!" Zhao Xianglan rolled up her sleeves and prepared to cook.
