Zhiyin smiled and said, "Of course, I'd be happy to do it."
"Um…"
Thinking about Yuanyuan's mother's hobbies, she pondered for a long time but couldn't come up with anything. She could only scratch her head and smile apologetically, "Um... as for hobbies, well... I don't know, but she probably doesn't lack anything."
After all, as the apex predator of the jungle, it has everything in the forest and can hunt for food as soon as it goes out.
"Okay...it's okay..."
Although Lan the hunter felt regretful for a moment, he quickly came to terms with it.
"Then thank you very much, Yinyin. Come on, come and eat before it gets cold."
"It gets cold very quickly on snowy days."
"Yes, yes, quick, let's not talk about anything else, let's eat..."
Aunt Xu also happily invited everyone to sit down.
As soon as she sat down, she couldn't wait to start serving food to the three of them, wishing she could fill all the family's bowls.
"That's enough, Weiwei. We can get it ourselves. You should eat too. You've all had a long day. Thank you for your help."
"Sigh, we often come to your house for meals, and you're always so hospitable. We feel embarrassed."
As Yao Yulin spoke, looking at the large bowl full of food, she couldn't hide the gratitude in her eyes.
My father-in-law and mother-in-law are clearly family, but I can't even afford to give them a decent meal.
Even though Aunt Xu was a friend, she was willing to bring out all the good dishes in her house to entertain them.
Looking at the table piled high with rabbit, pork, and duck meat, her eyes welled up with tears.
"Oh, why bring this up? We hunt, so we don't lack meat."
Aunt Xu gave Yao Yulin a reproachful look, still looking like she hadn't had enough; she really enjoyed feeding her best friend.
"Come on, Yinyin, draw. Don't mind your mother. You must eat your fill! You're not allowed to go home until you've eaten three big bowls!"
As she spoke, Aunt Xu pretended to put on a stern face and said fiercely.
Zhiyin couldn't help but laugh instantly, knowing that she meant well, and nodded repeatedly, "Okay, Aunt Xu."
Zhihua nodded obediently, "Mmm, Auntie's cooking smells so good, I love it the most."
"Is your mother's cooking not good?"
Aunt Xu couldn't resist teasing Zhihua immediately.
Lan the Hunter and Lan Linxi and the others sat quietly to the side, but upon hearing this, they couldn't help but smile and look at her.
"Oh, they're all delicious."
As Zhihua continued eating her rice, her big eyes darted around, and her voice was clear and pleasant.
"Alright, alright, you little rascal."
Seeing how well-behaved she was, Aunt Xu instantly broke down and happily started serving them food again.
Everyone chatted about gossip and all sorts of fun things, or praised and complimented each other.
For a time, everyone at the dinner table was happy and joyful.
"Woof woof woof..."
Just then, the little black dog became extremely anxious, jumping up and down and pawing at Zhiyin's legs, almost as if it were trying to speak.
But to a kindred spirit, it was indeed speaking human language, urging the kindred spirit to feed it bones!
Zhiyin looked down at its teary-eyed, pitiful appearance and couldn't help but pat its head and toss it several bones.
It immediately started munching away, making a crunching sound, and its tail was practically wagging like a rattle, which showed just how happy it was.
In fact, it was almost brought to tears by the fragrance.
Grandma brought it home to raise so it could guard the house in the future, but she couldn't bear to feed it well.
It eats whatever the pigs eat every day.
Sometimes even pigs eat better than it, so it grows particularly slowly.
Even though she's over five months old, she's still thin and small.
Because it suffered from long-term malnutrition and failed to grow, its grandmother disliked it even more, kicking it frequently and finding fault with it.
Actually, it got lost several times along the way, but unfortunately it always found itself again.
Later, after Zhifu nearly kicked it to death and it couldn't help but bite Zhifu in pain, the grandmother decided to kill it and stew it into soup to nourish Zhifu's body.
It was only because the young Zhihua stood in front of it, crying and begging her grandmother not to kill it, that it barely escaped death.
…
After dinner, Lan the hunter and Aunt Xu chatted with Yao Yulin and the others about all sorts of gossip.
After greeting everyone, Lan Linxi quietly went to her room and began studying for the exam.
Zhiyin yawned, a little bored, while Zhihua, being too young, couldn't resist falling asleep on the table.
Aunt Xu then noticed the two of them and quickly said, "Why don't you stay at my house tonight?"
"Anyway, I have another room at home, so that I can rest if friends come to visit?"
Before Yao Yulin could answer, Zhiyin immediately nodded, "Okay, okay."
She gave Aunt Xu a sweet smile and said, "Thank you, Aunt Xu, you're so kind."
As Zhiyin spoke, she couldn't help but raise her eyebrows. She could easily guess that since she had disrespected her grandmother so much today, they would definitely not let them in.
They might be laughing at us right now!
She's not stupid; she'd rather go tomorrow morning.
I just want to slip them away. Just thinking about how frustrated they looked after waiting all night is hilarious.
Seeing her confidante like this, Yao Yulin looked at Aunt Xu with embarrassment and agreed, "Thank you for your trouble, Weiwei."
"Why bring this up? Aren't we still best friends? Besides, it's just sleeping together for one night, what's the big deal?"
Aunt Xu was overjoyed. Since she and her husband fled famine to this place after getting married, she had never had a close female friend.
Although I get along well with many people, the feeling is very different when I'm with Yao Yulin.
Having said that, he couldn't wait to make the bed again.
They even curiously shared a blanket with Yao Yulin and the other two, just like children, claiming it was warmer that way.
Actually, the gossip wasn't finished yet, and they were about to turn off the lights and continue.
The hunter from Tulluran was left alone in his empty house.
...
Meanwhile, Zhijia
Grandparents, aunt, uncle, and even Zhifu and Zhizhaodi were all dressed neatly, with the door tightly closed, sitting inside the house excitedly waiting for Zhiyin to return, only to be disappointed to find the door closed.
They were all laughing so hard they were doubled over, their mouths agape.
The expectation in her eyes was so strong.
Unfortunately, they waited and waited, until they felt a chill run through their bodies, but still no kindred spirit appeared.
They went from being excited and happy at the beginning to becoming less confident.
In particular, whenever they hear any footsteps outside the door, they immediately lean in to listen carefully, hoping to see their exasperated expressions.
At first, my grandmother would even start cursing in a sarcastic and unsettling way, but after being told by others that she was sick, she dared not curse anymore, for fear of offending others.
Seeing that the sky was so dark it was almost black, the grandmother and the others looked at each other in bewilderment.
"Mother, do you think she'll really come back? Or will she not come back at all?"
Aunt hesitated, her initial excitement gradually turning into impatience.
