Chapter 12 Pheasants are delicious
The mother and daughter were so frightened that the pheasant in their hands fell to the ground with a thud.
"Mom, your dear baby son is back."
An Ning walked in with a backpack slung over her shoulders. He hooked his long legs back and slammed the gate shut.
Lin Qingwan was startled and saw her son coming in nonchalantly. I was immediately furious. He picked up a broom and hit An Ning on the head.
"Ouch."
An Ning was caught off guard and was hit. Seeing his own mother angrily hitting him with a broom, he immediately ran away in fear.
"Mom, mother, queen mother. What did I do wrong?"
Lin Qingwan is weak and cannot catch up with her young and strong son. I chased it for two rounds but still didn't hit it, and I was so tired that I was out of breath.
"Stand there, you damned child."
An Ran quickly helped her sit down.
"Mom, take a break. I'll help you teach him a lesson."
An Ning looked aggrieved and stood far away.
"It's fine that mom beat me, but you also wanted to teach me a lesson. I came back happily, but I got beaten for no reason. I feel more wronged than Dou E."
An Ran watched and felt amused. It was indeed because they were feeling guilty and taking their anger out on him.
"Well, you still don't know what you did wrong. Don't you know to knock on the door when you come back? My mom and I thought a robber had entered the house."
An Ning touched her head embarrassedly: "Hey, I won't dare to do it next time."
Lin Qingwan looked at her upset son and didn't want to say anything. She felt that her daughter was caring and that her daughter was like a little cotton-padded jacket to her parents.
An Ran picked up the pheasant on the ground and went into the kitchen. An Ning's eyes lit up and she followed her in happily.
"Sister, where did the pheasant come from?"
Anran was busy filling the pot with water, then sat in front of the stove and lit the fire. We have gas and electric kettles at home, but we usually use earthen stoves.
“I went into the mountains to catch them.”
"Wow, sis, you're so awesome. But don't let anyone see it, it's against the law."
An Ran added a handful of firewood into the stove and gave him a displeased look.
"You know it's against the law, but you're still shouting so loudly. Are you afraid that others can't hear you?"
An Ning suddenly covered her mouth, and then laughed to herself.
"I am so lucky. I have delicious food when I get home."
Anran looked at him with pity and said nothing. Poor kid!
He didn’t know that I had prepared delicious food last night just because he was coming back today. It is true that ignorance is the bliss.
After the water boiled, An Ning volunteered to catch the two pheasants. An Ran handed the work to him, went out of the kitchen, picked up the small backpack and poured out all the herbs inside.
She sat on a stool, picking and sorting the herbs deftly, and putting them away one by one. Seeing this, Lin Qingwan came over to help, but Anran quickly refused. Her mother didn't recognize these herbs and couldn't help.
Fortunately, I have all the herbs needed to make the beauty cream for Aunt Su.
An Ran washed all the medicinal herbs and placed them in the yard to dry. Once they were dry, she could start preparing the beauty cream.
As night falls, the rich aroma of meat wafts out of An Ran's kitchen again. An Ning sat in front of the stove, adding firewood, her nose twitching constantly.
"It smells so good. This pheasant smells better than the chicken sold outside."
An Guodong came home after finishing work and had already taken a shower. He wiped the water off his head with a towel and walked into the kitchen.
"My daughter is really capable. I haven't eaten pheasant for decades. Today, I am lucky enough to have it thanks to my daughter."
Lin Qingwan took a large plate with a smile and deftly scooped up the chicken from the pot.
"Well, the chickens sold outside are all raised with feed, so they are definitely not as tasty as pheasants. Let's set the table and eat."
An Ning put down the firewood in his hand and jumped up. He quickly took out the dishes and chopsticks from the cupboard and placed them on the dining table.
The whole family happily sat down and started eating.
An Ning couldn't wait to pick up a piece of chicken and put it in her mouth, grimacing because of the heat.
"Good times, good times."
An Guodong smiled and picked up a chicken leg and put it in An Ran's bowl.
"Nannan, eat more."
"Well, Dad, you eat too. Mom, this is for you."
An Ran also picked out two chicken legs from the plate and gave one to her parents.
When An Ning saw this, the meat in her mouth suddenly lost its flavor and she pouted, feeling aggrieved.
"So you are a family, and I am an outsider."
Lin Qingwan glared at him with a smile on her face, picked up the last chicken leg on the plate and placed it in An Ning's bowl.
"Poor thing! Come here, mommy loves you."
"Thank you, Mom. I know you love me the most."
An Ning smiled proudly, lowered his head and took a big bite of the chicken leg. If he had a tail, it would probably have been wagging it.
Everyone finished their meal in a lively atmosphere. Anran helped her mother clean up the kitchen, and the family sat comfortably in the yard to enjoy the cool air.
"I feel like our family is getting better and better now."
An Guodong lay in his own rocking chair, rocking gently and leisurely.
"Yes, I feel much better these days. I feel refreshed and have more energy to walk. I haven't been sick for a while."
"Qingwan, I wouldn't have noticed it if you hadn't told me. I've also clearly felt a lot better during this period. Before, my back and waist ached, and I was exhausted after work. Now, my back and legs don't ache, and I feel like I have endless energy every day."
At this time, An Ning also came up and said, "Mom and Dad, I feel the same way. Now school feels easier, and my mind is more alert. In the past, I couldn't memorize the text after reading it several times, but now I can remember it almost completely after reading it twice."
The three of them gathered together and enthusiastically discussed the strange changes that had happened to them. Only Anran sat aside feeling guilty, pretending to scroll through her phone seriously.
Compared to before, my mother is now frail and sickly, and falls ill in bed every other day. My father takes care of the family and works hard to make a living, and he looks haggard. The days now are full of hope.
Anran was sincerely grateful, grateful to God for allowing her to have such a heaven-defying space. She is grateful for the existence of space, which has allowed her parents to have the health they never dared to imagine before.
As the night gradually deepens, a faint warmth and a light happiness permeate the family.
.......
It was late at night and everyone went back to their rooms to rest.
Anran didn't sleep and entered the space as usual. I watered the grass with the spiritual spring water and looked at the red lotus buds that were about to bloom.
She had opened the space for more than half a month, but the grass still looked half-dead without being watered with spiritual spring water for a day, and the red lotus showed no signs of blooming.
An Ran touched her head, not knowing what was going on.
She came to the black soil again, and the green vegetables in the ground had grown as big as a palm. The leaves are green and juicy, and look full of vitality.
The cucumbers, tomatoes, peppers and cowpeas planted later have already sprouted and grown very tall.
An Ran thought about it, left the space, and secretly went to the woodshed to find some thin branches. Then I entered the space and busied myself with setting up racks for cucumbers and cowpeas.
After the shelf was set up, she went back into the cabin and took out a few medicinal seeds from the cabinet on the medicine shelf.
These elixirs do not exist in this world, and each one is extremely precious.
An Ran was afraid that something might go wrong during the planting, so she only took a small amount of each.
She came to the empty black land and turned the soil over carefully with a hoe. After planting the seeds in sections, he took some spiritual spring water and watered them carefully.
"Huh" After working for a long time, Anran breathed a sigh of relief. She was covered in sweat, but she didn't leave the space. She just took off her clothes and jumped into the stream like a mermaid.
The temperature in the space is just right, neither too cold nor too hot. The stream water is so clear that you can see the bottom, and you can swim happily in it.
Her skin is as white as jade, her legs are long and straight, and her hips are round and plump with a slender waist. She stood nimbly in the water and threw her wet hair behind her.
On the small chin, water drops flowed down the smooth neck and into the proudly upright chest.
It suddenly seemed like a picture of a beautiful woman emerging from her bath. If a man saw this scene at this moment, his blood would boil and his eyes would be filled with fire.
An Ran took a nice bath in the stream, put on her clothes, went to the spiritual spring, sat cross-legged, closed her eyes and practiced her skills.
Learning is like rowing against the current, if you don’t move forward, you will fall behind. The same goes for cultivation!
