Su Jiaqi praised with admiration, "Oh, you can hunt? That's really impressive."
Do you set traps in the mountains to catch pheasants, rabbits, or anything like that?
While weeding, Xiao Yiming answered, but dared not look at the pretty female educated youth next to him: "Yes! Our family makes the best traps in the whole village."
Su Jiaqi thought for a moment, then asked again, "Are there other people who know how to hunt? Make traps?"
"There are some, but not many."
"In this whole village, my family eats the most pheasants and rabbits," the young man said, subtly showing off his muscles.
Their family lives quite comfortably.
"Has your family been setting traps in the mountains all along?"
“Yes, there has always been. My grandfather goes up the mountain almost every day, but the harvest hasn’t been good these past two days. There were no prey yesterday.” Xiao Yiming scratched his head, he couldn’t figure out what was going on either.
Su Jiaqi said with feigned surprise, "Oh, I see. We ate pheasant meat yesterday. It was brought back by Su Ruobai, a female educated youth from our settlement."
She and I are both from Haishi. Once we arrived, we learned to hunt, saying we used slingshots.
I also heard that she went into the mountains for the first time yesterday and caught two pheasants!
"Really? That's pretty impressive." The young man didn't understand the reason.
Lin Min could tell.
Su Jiaqi is trying to make Su Ruobai jealous!
I quickly moved a step to the side.
It's best to stay away from Su Jiaqi.
I ate their food yesterday, and today they're digging a hole for me...
She had actually felt sorry for her just now...
...
Xiao Yiming helped Su Jiaqi with her work for the entire afternoon.
He was young and strong, and he would finish his own tasks before helping Su Jiaqi.
Even so, I was still quite exhausted.
But I was secretly delighted.
Because of their place.
When a man helps a woman with chores, it's usually because he's interested in dating her.
Su Zhiqing smiled gently at him all afternoon; she must have had feelings for him too.
He's good-looking and comes from a well-off family!
He should be a good match for Su Zhiqing!
When I'm in a good mood, I have a smile on my face when I wash my hands and face.
He thought of what Su Jiaqi had said to him.
Xiao Yiming mentioned to his mother, "Mom, a female educated youth has come to the educated youth settlement. She's really amazing. Yesterday, she shot two pheasants with a slingshot."
"What? What did you say? No wonder! I was wondering why there weren't any pheasants in the traps these past two days. Turns out they were picked up beforehand."
"Who are you talking about? I'm going to tear him apart! How dare he steal food from my mouth!" Yiming's mother was furious upon hearing this!
Her father-in-law is very capable.
He would bring things back every now and then.
Sometimes it's a rabbit, sometimes it's a pheasant.
This time, things have been quiet for several days.
So it was stolen!
"Mom, they shot it themselves with a slingshot, they didn't steal it from us," Xiao Yiming quickly explained.
To prevent his mother from causing trouble again!
"You silly child, a city educated youth, and a woman at that, she can hunt? Only you would believe that." Yiming's mother didn't believe it at all.
"They even used slingshots to shoot them. Ask your grandfather if pheasants are so easy to hunt."
"If we could shoot them down with a slingshot, they would have been extinct long ago. Why would we be waiting for a female educated youth to come?"
"All the kids in our village, who doesn't know how to use a slingshot? Have you ever seen anyone bring back a pheasant? A pheasant? We haven't even seen a sparrow."
"Mother, is there some misunderstanding?" The naive young man still didn't believe that anyone would do such a thing!
"Misunderstanding, impossible. I'm going to find her right now. She dared to eat my chicken, I'll beat her to a pulp."
"Mom, Mom, this isn't a good idea. This was told to me by a female educated youth from the educated youth settlement. If you go, won't it put her in a difficult position?"
Yiming's mother immediately realized: "Female educated youth? How did you get involved with female educated youth?"
Mom is telling you, those female educated youths are not good people. Your brother Dashan was really screwed over. He worked for them for two years, and then they just left. You can't do something as stupid as that.
Xiao Yiming's face flushed red instantly: "Mother, what are you saying? Weren't we talking about the female educated youth hunting?"
"Yes, yes, come on, come with me, we have to go and get the money back from this pheasant."
...
Before they even arrived at the educated youth settlement, Yiming's mother started making a big fuss.
"Who stole my pheasant? Come out right now! You heartless thief!"
"Yiming's mom, what's wrong? Who stole something?" A villager who was eating heard the commotion and came out with her bowl.
"One of the educated youth in the settlement stole two pheasants from our mountain trap. Not only did he steal them, but he also stole two of them."
Do you think I should go find her?
"We have to go! But how do you know it's one of your family's traps? Maybe they set it themselves?" someone nearby said, unable to bear it any longer.
Wild animals in the mountains live and thrive naturally.
Just because one of the grandfathers was a master hunter and had a weapon, Ming's mother started to get excited.
She acted like she was the most important person in the world.
He wished everything on the mountain belonged to his family.
Whenever someone is lucky enough to find a few wild eggs or catch a dead rabbit, she will openly or secretly accuse them of stealing.
So, after it happened so many times, now nobody believes the educated youth who stole from their family anymore.
"Even if she shot it herself, she still needs to have the skill. Would you believe it if a city girl with yellow hair shot two pheasants in a day with a slingshot?"
