The people around exclaimed, "The village chief is amazing!"
The village chief suddenly felt like he was in charge again, looked at the chicken in his hand, and grinned.
He then became modest, "No! I'm just an old man, how could I be anything special! I guess the chicken was tired from running and couldn't run anymore when it got to me, which is why I got the advantage! You young people are energetic and rely entirely on your strength! This is something an old man like me can't compare to!"
Everyone burst into laughter, not caring about the process or how they managed to catch more wild animals!
Seeing that his father was in a good mood, Liu Yenan quickly came over to help get the chicken, and didn't forget to praise his father a few times. He even asked his father how to catch wild animals!
Seeing this, the other members of the Liu family understood and came over one after another, all with envy and admiration on their faces. This made the village chief very pleased, and he suddenly felt that he was not old at all!
These brats aren't as good as an old man like him, so why does he have to admit he's old?
Amidst expectant and admiring gazes, the village chief re-entered the amusement park. This time, he had a specific purpose: to catch a few more wild animals to solidify his image!
The Mo family was also nearby, and they were overjoyed. They weren't there entirely for the wild game; they also had some entertainment in mind!
Since they didn't lack food, they didn't try to compete with others. They just grabbed as much as they could, and it didn't matter if they didn't get much. They were just out having fun!
What they were really thinking was that catching wild animals required a bit of luck and skill; it wasn't something you could just do casually!
Therefore, it did not come with a strong sense of self-interest.
Su Nanxi naturally saw the village chief's affairs clearly. She happened to be nearby, but instead of focusing on catching wild animals, she played in the snow!
Mo Qinghe naturally accompanied his wife. His wife liked to play in the snow, so he played too. If his wife wanted to catch wild animals, he would go with her and help her catch a few more!
But after running around a few times, his wife felt that catching wild animals was not as fun as playing in the snow, so she gave up catching wild animals, and he could only follow his wife to play in the snow.
My wife is a pro at catching wild animals. I guess she's caught so many that she's lost interest. If she wanted to catch some, none of us here would have a chance!
They all belong to my wife!
That's so boring!
So the wife decided to stop thinking about it and let more people join in, making it more lively and exciting!
Almost everyone else in the Mo family, except for Qin Shi, had run away.
Upon arriving at the scene, all the elderly men and women instantly felt younger and were eager to participate!
Grandma Mo and Grandpa Mo, along with their whole family, were having a blast running around there!
However, most of them are just looking for something new and fun!
The village chief, however, had a specific purpose in mind: he wanted to catch as many wild animals as possible, or even just one if he couldn't catch any!
Finally, he got his wish and caught a rabbit and a chicken!
He laughed until he had no teeth, his eyes were blind, and his face was covered in wrinkles.
He went back happily, not greedy, knowing that this was all he could do, and if he continued, he might not have any left!
I'd rather go home and admire my spoils!
Upon seeing this, the Liu family members exchanged glances, praised the gesture happily, and then went back with the others.
The Mo family didn't leave empty-handed either. Although they hadn't expected to catch them, the fact that they actually did made them feel different!
The children, in particular, were so happy!
The next day, everyone went out again, hoping to catch a few more to take home, just like before. But the Mo family didn't come out, and they didn't find any wild animals at all!
I've tried it for several days, and it's the same every time!
The Mo family doesn't go out running around every day. Sometimes they just run around in their own yard and have a lot of fun!
The villagers gradually figured out a pattern: they observed how the Mo family acted!
If the Mo family doesn't go out, then most likely no wild animals will appear that day; if the Mo family goes out into the snow, then most likely there will be wild animals!
The Mo family explained that since a batch of wild animals had been caught, it would take some time before other wild animals came, so they couldn't go to catch them every day, or they wouldn't be able to catch any!
The villagers all believed it. They didn't know how many days would pass; they just watched the Mo family and followed their lead whenever they were to make the arrest!
Some people from the neighboring village had tasted the sweetness of catching wild animals and were eager to catch them every day. They kept a close eye on the situation in Changzhu Village and would immediately go out as soon as they heard any joyful sounds coming from there!
Time slipped by and the first month of the lunar calendar passed in a flash.
Everyone had a very happy and fulfilling New Year.
After the first month of the lunar calendar, the weather did not warm up. The chill of early spring was no joke, and no one knew how long it would stay cold.
A guest suddenly arrived at the Mo family's residence, braving the cold.
"Old Man Xu?" Su Nanxi never expected that Old Man Xu would choose to come back at this time.
Couldn't he wait until the weather warms up and spring arrives, and then slowly come back?
It's freezing cold now, and it's started raining, so it's really inconvenient to go out!
If it weren't for something going on in the city, she wouldn't have bothered going out. It was just too cold, so cold that she was shivering!
Old Xu ran back at this moment and saw that he was so cold that his movements were as if a button had been pressed to slow down ten times. He couldn't get off the carriage for a long time, and his walking was extremely stiff.
Mo Qinghe was also stunned, but he quickly figured it out. Since he was here, he should come in and sit down. But seeing how slow Old Xu was, he really wanted to pick him up and run away!
It's so slow!
Su Nanxi didn't rush to let Old Man Xu into the house. She told him to shake his body outside and loosen up his muscles and bones before coming inside.
"I'm starving! Ugly girl, what's good to eat? Hurry up and bring me something to fill my stomach!"
After Old Xu recovered, he started shouting. He was still drinking hot tea, but it wasn't enough. He wanted to eat something delicious!
Su Nanxi was also quite straightforward, "Then wait a bit! It won't be that quick! Take a moment to calm down, so your appetite will be better and you can eat more!"
Old Xu wasn't upset at all, and cheerfully replied, "It's alright! I can wait! I've already waited so long, a little longer won't make a difference! Just go ahead and do it!"
Su Nanxi narrowed her eyes. Could this old man have come on an empty stomach?
Old Xu gave her a knowing look, making no attempt to hide the fact that he had come hungry so that he could eat more good food later!
Su Nanxi felt several black lines appear on her forehead. Was it really necessary?
In such cold weather, where will you get the energy to fight off the cold if you don't eat something?
If you want to eat, there will be plenty of food at the Mo family's place. What's the rush?
Old Xu groaned. There weren't many good restaurants along the way, and he really couldn't eat much!
He had already eaten some, but he couldn't hold his hunger. He was starving again, and dry rations were too tough on his teeth!
"You can't eat too much meat all at once if you've been hungry for a long time. Let me make you some light dishes so your stomach can catch its breath!"
"I haven't been hungry for long! I want hot pot!"
