Chapter 240 Winter Hunt
Yan Bei couldn't help but laugh when he heard his brother-in-law's words. It seemed that what Jiaming said about the most difficult person to deal with, who becomes more and more displeased with you as time goes by, was not without reason.
She raised her hand and rubbed her nose with her index finger a few times, then Yan Bei followed her into the house.
The fire in the brazier in the kitchen was burning brightly, and the steam from the kitchen gave people a warm feeling as if they had entered spring from the cold winter as soon as they walked in.
"Come back Ningning, the food is still warm in the pot, sit down and warm your hands and feet first, and then I'll serve it out for you and eat it while it's hot!"
"Thank you, godmother."
"Aunt, hug me~"
Xiaoqiu, holding the little circle, crawled out of Zhang Fu's arms and threw herself into her arms, laughing loudly and looking extremely satisfied.
I touched her pigtailed little hair that had grown a lot, and seeing her happy smile, I couldn't help but hug them tighter.
Zhang Fu looked at the two people beside him with a smile on his face, "How is Ningning? Did you pick her up successfully?"
"I got the call from my godfather. Brother Zhang has brought the man back to the courtyard."
"That's good, as long as we arrive safely."
That's it...
I don’t know when the snow will stop. Otherwise, I won’t be able to get in or out, which is really frustrating.
Just as she was about to say something else, she saw her husband had already handed her the bowl and chopsticks, so Zhang Fu didn't say anything else and just waited for her to finish her meal.
"Huh? Are the cured pork ribs ready?"
"Haha, I think the color is pretty much what you described, so I made two sticks today to try out the taste. Ningning, come and try it. We both think it's delicious."
As she said, I stewed the cured pork ribs with some cabbage stems, a few dried mushrooms and a tomato.
Don't be fooled by the bland soup, it tastes really good.
After biting into a piece of cured pork ribs, Suning nodded in agreement, "It's delicious. My godmother's cooking is really good!"
"Haha, if you like it, eat more. I've left some for you in the pot."
…
Seeing that she had almost finished eating, Yan Bei naturally took the bowl and chopsticks from her hands without waiting for her to stand up, and washed them without giving her a chance to speak.
Hu Yingtao was obviously very satisfied with this scene, and her face was as bright as a flower as she looked at his back.
The son-in-law is considerate and has her in his heart. They will have a happy and harmonious life in the future without any worries.
…
I don’t know if it was because I prayed while holding Zi Fei before going to bed, but the snow that had been falling for several days finally stopped early the next morning.
As the sky cleared up and the sun showed its long-lost face, not only were the children who had been bored at home for a long time happy and couldn't wait to sneak out to play, but the men in the family also began to prepare consciously.
As per previous years' practice, a winter hunt will be organized after the first heavy snow of winter.
One reason is to drive the more ferocious animals into the mountains to prevent them from coming down to hurt people because there is not much food in winter.
Secondly, of course, we also want to see if we can add more meat to the table for everyone to celebrate the New Year.
Sure enough, not long after, the sound of gongs and drums was heard in the village.
After hearing the news of winter hunting, the happiest people were the grown men Fu Jiaming, Yan Bei and Zhang Qi.
If they were not afraid of holding back, even Zhang Fu and Old Man Yan would have wanted to follow everyone.
It is conceivable how attractive this activity is to men who are passionate and have some warlike genes in their bones.
After breakfast, everyone took some dry food, water and other useful equipment and rushed to the foot of the front mountain to gather.
After everything was ready, Fu Jiaming met Yan Bei and came to the Su family's ancestral home.
As soon as they walked out of the small door in the backyard, Zhang Qi, who had been waiting for them, saw them and his eyes lit up immediately, "Finally they are here!"
"Hahaha, Brother Zhang is more anxious than both of us!"
She glared at him unhappily: If you can't see through it, don't tell it, understand?
It's a rare opportunity. This is the first time, so how can I not be anxious and excited?
"Brother, where is Ningning?"
"Yan Qi, you're not going to leave for two days and one night. We don't need to report, right?"
He slapped him hard on the back of his head with his backhand. Hearing someone covering his head and crying out in pain, Yan Bei curled the corners of his mouth but didn't bother to look at him.
Zhang Qi, who was standing next to him, also showed a gloating smile, and looked at his future brother-in-law with a rare liking, "Ningning went to the house, and he should be preparing to go to the health room."
"Brother, let me go talk to Ningning first."
"Go ahead."
"Hey Yanqi, hurry up, the first assembly bell has already rung!"
"Know."
Without even turning his head, Yan Bei stretched out his long legs and strode quickly towards Su Ning's bedroom.
I had just finished my work in the Taoyuan space and heard someone knocking on the door when I flashed out of the space.
When I went forward and opened it, I found that it was Yan Bei, who was carrying a military green cloth bag, wearing a thick military coat, a hat, scarf and gloves.
She raised her eyebrows slightly, with dimples faintly visible at the corners of her mouth. "Are you planning to go winter hunting with us?"
"Well, the master said that he had leaked some information out, and it was nothing serious."
In addition to not surprising the villagers when the document comes out, it is also to avoid exposing the relationship between the two and reduce gossip.
After getting the documents, he could just pack up and leave to report immediately, but Suning had to stay here.
Regardless of kinship or other reasons, it is understandable that Su Qingshan considers her more. Of course, this is also what he thinks in his heart.
"Then I have no problem. Just be careful and be safe."
"Okay, I'll pay attention."
As he spoke, Yan Bei pulled down the scarf that was resting on his chin, stretched out his hands and held her in his arms, until he smelled the familiar sweet scent on her body, a satisfied sigh welled up in his heart.
Seeing his actions, Suning did not refuse, but cooperated very obediently.
She slowly put her hands around his slender waist, and in just a moment, the smile that had just emerged in her eyes quickly dissipated as if she were electrocuted, and the blush on her face also faded away.
Feeling her fingertips trembling unconsciously, Yan Bei quickly pulled her away from his arms. When he saw her expression clearly, he couldn't help but frown and held her shoulders worriedly, "What's wrong, Ningning?"
"I…"
Su Ning stopped the words that were about to come out of his mouth and calmed himself down before replying.
"I suddenly remembered what ingredient was missing from Brother Fu's medicine for the experiment. I want to go into the mountains with you guys."
"Um?"
"It's rare to have so many people together, so our safety should be better guaranteed. You guys hunt and I'll take the opportunity to collect herbs."
Her words came out of nowhere, and his intuition told him that things were not as simple as she said, but Yan Bei couldn't think of any other reasons for the moment.
Fu Rong's situation was special. Although she had been trying to refine the medicine without success, she now knew which ingredient was missing and had to go along with it.
Seems like a good reason...
"Ningning, it's too dangerous for you to go up the mountain with me. Why don't you tell me the characteristics of the medicine and its growing environment, and I'll go find it?"
"That medicine is very similar to several other herbs and it's easy to mistake it for something else. I'll go."
…
"Hey, I said you two just haven't seen each other for two days, why do you say you've been together for so long? Are you inseparable?"
Fu Jiaming couldn't wait any longer and quickly came to the bedroom door. He stood outside and shouted towards the door, "Hurry up, Yan Qi, it's too late to gather!"
Before he could raise his hand to knock, the door was opened from the inside.
Looking at Su Ning who came out closely following Yan Bei, Fu Jiaming looked puzzled: What is going on?
"Suning, you don't look like you're going to the clinic, you look like you're going up the mountain to collect herbs!"
"The answer is correct, but there is no reward."
"Hey, what's going on?"
Fu Jiaming grabbed his best friend's arm and pointed at her, "You don't agree yet, do you?"
Although there are many of them and almost all the young and middle-aged men in the village will go into the mountains, it does not mean that their safety is guaranteed.
If she encounters a big one, she won’t be able to outrun it with her small body!
"What's wrong?"
"Brother Zhang, please look at your sister!"
"Ningning, what are you doing?"
"Brother, I want to go into the mountains with everyone to collect herbs."
I didn't see her having this idea when I heard about the winter hunt just now. How come she had this idea after being together for a while? Could it be?
Zhang Qi looked at Yan Bei, who was pursing his lips, with an unfriendly face: Could it be that this guy said something?
It must be him who was wrong, it couldn't be Ningning who was always well-behaved and sensible.
"Let's get to the assembly point quickly, or the main force will set off!"
"Ningning, wait a moment!"
Seeing her rush out like a rabbit as soon as she finished speaking, she ran away at a very fast speed. The three people who were dumbfounded on the spot immediately reacted and hurriedly chased after her.
