Chapter 36: Everything that should and shouldn't have happened has happened



With 4 people living in one room, it is easy to imagine that even the biggest room will seem crowded.

But fortunately, they are all relatively clean people. Although it is a bit crowded, the house is cleaned very neatly.

Shen Xiangzhi was lying on the bed at this moment, his brows were tightly furrowed, and his face looked tired.

On the table beside his bed, there was a bowl of clear porridge, a plate of vegetables mixed with two pieces of meat, which should be the pork distributed last night, and a steamed bun made of two grains of flour.

Is this food enough for a grown man?

An Hongdou was very skeptical.

An Hongdou eats less because she always remembers to lose weight, but after living in the An family for a few days, she also knows that it is normal for meals at this time to lack oil and salt, but everyone's appetite is particularly large.

It may also be because there is less oil in the stomach, and I have to work and do heavy work every day, so I eat a lot.

They are not like people in later generations who can be full after just two bites.

"Why are you here?" Shen Xiangzhi was very upset at the moment, because he thought it was Sun Xiaoyue who was pestering him and refusing to go out again, but he didn't expect that when he looked up, he would see An Hongdou.

"I came to see you." An Hongdou walked over, put the basket in her hand on the table, took out the food she brought from it, and said, "I'll give you some extra food."

Looking at the fragrant and tempting braised lamb and two lamb hooves, Shen Xiangzhi's eyes flashed and he raised his eyebrows to look at her, "I heard from Zhang Jianjun that you actually killed all three wild boars yesterday. It seems that he doesn't know something too?"

Otherwise, where did this mutton come from?

This thing is not easy to buy, and since there is both meat and sheep's trotters, he is 70% to 80% sure that the An family definitely has a whole sheep.

An Hongdou did not deny it and handed him the chopsticks. "Just eat it. Why are you asking so many questions?"

Shen Xiangzhi laughed and said, "That's right, I won't be polite then."

Shen Xiangzhi took the chopsticks and started eating. He was never a rude person, but he hadn't had a good meal for a long time.

Especially in the past two days since I came back, I had to stay at the educated youth center because of my injured leg.

Although someone delivered his three meals a day, when he thought of the people who delivered the meals, he felt helpless yet unable to refuse.

The only thing he could do was to respond coldly to break the girls' fantasies about him and avoid wasting their time.

Once you start eating this, you can’t stop eating it.

Only after he had eaten half of the large bowl of mutton and there was no vermicelli left did he feel full.

Looking at the remaining mutton in the bowl, Shen Xiangzhi said thoughtfully: “Can I… leave some?”

An Hongdou nodded, thinking that he wanted to leave some for people he had a good relationship with.

After all, meat is still quite precious nowadays.

Even though the people in the educated youth camp were distributed pork, overall, each person was lucky to have two pieces of meat, which was not enough to satisfy their hunger.

"Of course it's up to you. No matter how delicious the meat is, it will become greasy if you eat too much." An Hongdou said.

"By the way, what are you thinking about?" Since An Hongdou came in, she had been in a daze except for a few plain words, and she was not very interested in talking, so Shen Xiangzhi asked this question.

"I was thinking, if I told you to move out with me, would you agree?" An Hongdou was indeed thinking about this question, and had been thinking about it for a while.

The original owner was indeed quite favored at home, but other people in the An family also had opinions about her.

After all, my mother and brother are related by blood, but my sister-in-law is not, and no one is obligated to spoil the other.

If it were the original owner, as long as she was the winner, she wouldn't care about who was competing with her.

But An Hongdou is different.

Even though Mrs. An and her brothers all protected her, she was not the kind of person who would suffer a loss. But she had finally returned to a normal life from a life of fighting and killing, and she didn't want to have to deal with trivial matters at home all day long.

An Hongdou will certainly have to go up the mountain more often in the future, but the disharmony at home is not conducive to her actions.

An Hongdou's words made Shen Xiangzhi unable to react for a while, and asked: "Moving out is certain. I heard from Brother An that we need to build a house. It should take some time, right?"

An Hongdou had a headache.

Building a house is indeed a big deal, otherwise, they can't live in a cave without a house, right?

Besides, it was the busy farming season, and she couldn't ask others to put down their work and build houses for them.

Seeing An Hongdou frowning in deep thought, Shen Xiangzhi said thoughtfully: “You…are there any problems at home?”

Otherwise, why was she in such a hurry to move out?

An Hongdou shook her head. "It's not a big deal. I can handle it."

She couldn't say that her sisters-in-law were unhappy because of building a house for them.

Wouldn't this be a mistake for my brothers?

Let them work for nothing.

An Hongdou thought that since building a house was inevitable, she would have to find an opportunity to go into the mountains again.

The three wild boars from yesterday were all confiscated, and the amount of meat her family got was a little more than that of other families because she was the one who hunted them.

After killing the wild goat, there were only about 60 to 70 kilograms of meat left. It seemed that Old Lady An wanted to keep the meat at home and pickle it for later consumption, and had no intention of exchanging it for money.

Although I have a lot of things in my hands, none of them are on the right track.

She still has to make money by hunting.

Seeing that An Hongdou was silent again, Chen Xiang knew: "There is a rattan box under my bed, can you help me take it out?"

When An Hongdou heard the word "rattan box", her eyes lit up instantly.

This stuff isn't cheap at this time.

What exactly is Shen Xiangzhi's identity?

Although she had some doubts in her heart, An Hongdou still bent down to help him carry the box.

You know what, this box looks pretty high-end.

An Hongdou pulled it out from under the bed, looked at Shen Xiangzhi and asked what to do next?

Chen Xiang said: "Open it."

An Hongdou's hands trembled.

She was afraid to see any personal belongings inside.

After all, there wasn't even a closet in the room, and their clothes and other things should all be in their own packages.

But after thinking about it, everything that should and shouldn't have happened to the two of them had happened, so why should we be afraid of seeing something?

After An Hongdou opened the box, what caught her eye were the neatly folded clothes inside.

"There is a compartment on top of the box, and inside that compartment is a small package. Can you help me get it?"

Following Shen Xiangzhi's instructions, An Hongdou successfully found a cloth bag in the upper compartment and took it out immediately.

After taking out the cloth bag, she closed the box and stuffed it under the bed, then handed the cloth bag to Shen Xiangzhi.
