Watching Ouyang Zhenyu pick up a pig's head and walk out.
Cuihua hurriedly asked,
"Hey buddy, where are you going?"
"Sister-in-law, I'm going to go and exchange some firewood with the neighbors. I see you don't have much firewood."
I don't dare go up the mountain to chop firewood today. If I run into a wild boar again, that would be terrible.
Let's use some firewood to stew meat.
Cuihua hurriedly said,
"Oh dear, why change the firewood?"
We'll use my sister-in-law's firewood.
Your sister-in-law took some pork from you and asked you to use some firewood. What's wrong?
The neighbors next door are all difficult to deal with.
I'm telling you, this place is a dangerous place. You shouldn't get involved with these people easily. Try to avoid them as much as possible.
Ouyang Zhenyu scratched his head, looking rather simple-minded, and said...
"Sister-in-law, is it really necessary to go to such lengths to change the firewood?"
I noticed that the old man and the young man next to me seemed quite amiable.
I traded some firewood with them; I ran into that kid when I was chopping wood on the mountain earlier.
"You really are stupid. You think that old man is a good person? Let me tell you, you've misjudged him."
And their grandson, Liu San'er, is no ordinary person.
"Xiao Jiang, it was only on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year that your sister-in-law, who left me here, opened up to you. The people around here aren't good people. You should try to avoid associating with them."
"Sister-in-law, why?"
How could this person be either good or bad?
"You look like you've never done anything before. All the people around you are people who have done great things."
I'm telling you, everyone living at the entrance of this village is from out of town.
Outsiders are not allowed into the village, even though I've been married here for so many years, I'm not allowed to stay in the village.
Why do you think the villagers wouldn't let them in?
Because these people are all vicious and wicked.
I'm telling you, everyone has blood on their hands, and not just from one life.
You went there looking so silly and clumsy.
They sold you out, and you're still helping them count the money.
"Listen to your sister-in-law, stay home obediently, and we'll go up the mountain to chop firewood tomorrow. We have enough firewood."
Ouyang Zhenyu's heart skipped a beat. Clearly, this Sister Cuihua held a very special position here; she was somewhere between a villager and an outsider.
"Sister-in-law, why are there so many bad people here? Why don't the villagers drive them away and let them stay here?"
What if they want to cause trouble for the villagers?
What do you know?
These bad guys naturally have their uses, and besides, it won't be so easy for them to cause trouble for the villagers.
Without villagers as guides, they would have died deep in these mountains and forests, never to leave again.
"The villagers are counting on these people to bring things back for them, so it's a win-win situation."
"In short, don't wander off. Don't get lost on the mountain one day and then you won't be able to come back."
I didn't expect that you, who look so thin, are quite capable and even know how to hunt.
If you know how to hunt, you won't go hungry in the village.
"Sister-in-law, I don't have any tools, not even oil, salt, soy sauce, or vinegar. I'm wondering where we can buy some things?"
"Use mine for now."
We're practically family.
Since you're staying with your sister-in-law, she treats you like family. If you want anything else, wait until later.
When they send people out to buy supplies on the fifth day, you should go with them.
When Ouyang Zhenyu tried to get closer to Sister Cuihua again, she stopped talking.
Ouyang Zhenyu stopped talking and cleaned the yard.
They cleaned up all the mud from when they slaughtered the pig.
A person went into the kitchen and started cooking.
The fragrant braised pork belly is stewed in the pot.
The aroma filled the air, and as Ouyang Zhenyu turned around, he saw the little boy at the kitchen door tilting his head and staring at him, his mouth practically watering.
Ouyang Zhenyu waved to the boy.
Come on.
The little boy was so frightened that he turned and ran away.
Ouyang Zhenyu's large pot of braised pork was cooked, and as he ladled it into a bowl, the aroma made his mouth water.
It's been a long time since he cooked. He hasn't had time to cook since he became the dean.
Although the seasoning was a bit lacking, at least it was wild boar meat.
Although wild boar meat is a bit tough and has a stronger gamey smell, stewed wild boar meat has a purer flavor.
Moreover, the seasoning used for braised pork is already quite strong, so it can mask a lot of the fishy smell.
Just as I finished serving the braised pork, I heard a loud thud at the door and saw the little boy sprawled out inside.
Ouyang Zhenyu went over and helped him up. When he saw the words on the panel, his brows furrowed slightly.
This boy named Huzi died so young.
What's your name?
The little boy looked expectantly at the fragrant aroma emanating from the pot, hesitated for a moment, and then stammered out his words.
"My name is Tiger."
"Tiger, do you want some meat? Uncle just made braised pork."
"What is braised pork?"
Tiger was drooling, his little eyes glued to the big basin, unable to look away.
Ouyang Zhenyu took a large bowl, filled it with braised pork, and handed it to him.
"Take this back for you and your mother to eat."
I picked up a piece of meat with my hand and stuffed it into Tiger's mouth. Although it was so hot that he cried out, the little guy was all smiles.
"Delicious, so delicious!"
"Go on, you brat!"
Tiger gave the little guy a slap on the bottom, then grabbed the big bowl and ran to the main room.
