Xiao's father: ...That's an exaggeration, that's an exaggeration.
However, seeing his wife's enthusiastic expression, Xiao's father wisely chose not to be the one to dampen her enthusiasm, since he wasn't the one being trained anyway.
Xiao Yuheng hung up the phone and returned to the waiting room to wait. At this time, he had no idea what had happened at home after he hung up the phone.
As the weather gets warmer, green shoots have appeared on the mountain without us even noticing.
The sowing work, which had lasted for many days, was over, and the private plot had long been tidied up, so Gu An'an had time to go up the mountain again.
"An'an, we want to go too."
Just as Gu An'an was about to leave, Zhou Yue immediately chased after her, followed by Zhao Hu.
Her eyes swept over Zhou Yue and Zhao Hu twice before she nodded and said, "Okay, hurry up and get the basket."
Two of the three often sneaked up the mountain, so they weren't afraid of anything. When they reached a sunny slope, Gu An'an spotted a patch of tender green. She put down her basket, took out a small shovel, and started digging.
"An'an, why are you digging up weeds? Didn't we come here to hunt in the wild?"
Zhou Yue had heard some things from Zhao Hu and knew that there were many pheasants and rabbits in the mountains. Before even going up the mountain, she dreamed of catching ten or eight at once and eating them to her heart's content.
Seeing that Gu An'an was wasting her time on these weeds, she didn't complain. She just wanted the two of them to take her to catch something good.
"These are wild scallions from the mountains. Let's dig some up and plant them. I guarantee you won't regret it."
Although they are still just scallion seedlings, Gu An'an has already imagined how lush and green they will be when they grow up, and how delicious they will be when rolled up with barbecue.
Seriously, just thinking about Gu An'an makes my mouth water.
Zhou Yue completely trusted Gu An'an. When she heard that it was a good thing, she squatted down and helped dig it up without saying a word.
The meat was delicious, but it was all about luck; these wild onions were right in front of us.
Zhao Hu came along to protect the two of them, so of course he did whatever they did. By the time the three of them had finished digging up the wild onions, Gu An'an's basket was already half full.
Since he was carrying Zhou Yue, who was completely defenseless, Zhao Hu didn't dare to venture deep inside as he had done before. So he led them toward the traps he had dug, to see if any fools would fall in.
The first two traps yielded no results, and the third trap was destroyed by something unknown. Zhao Hu had no choice but to rebuild the traps before continuing forward.
Fortunately, they were blessed by heaven, for there was a wild rabbit struggling inside.
"Rabbit, delicious rabbit."
Gu An'an: ...As expected, foodies won't miss out on any good stuff.
Zhao Hu took the rabbit out of the trap, carefully restored the trap, and then continued on his way.
However, his luck ran out, and he found nothing after checking five traps in a row.
"Great, we can have an extra meal today."
Remembering that the rabbit had been taken from Zhao Hu's trap, Zhou Yue quickly added, "Brother Zhao, could you sell me this wild rabbit?"
Since Zhao Hu came to Xiaowang Village, he has hunted countless rabbits. In other people's eyes, it is already extremely difficult to get a wild rabbit, but in his eyes it is a piece of cake.
Besides, he was still reminiscing about how delicious the food was last time, so why would he ask for money? If he asked for money, it would be inappropriate for him to come over and freeload. He knew what was more important.
"Aren't you slapping me in the face by saying you're buying it? You can have this rabbit, but after it's cooked, could you give me two pieces of meat?"
He can manage to feed himself rabbit, but the taste...
He was even more unhappy about taking it back to the educated youth compound. He couldn't even share a couple of bites, and the taste wasn't much better than his cooking. He didn't want to be taken advantage of.
"Isn't that a bit inappropriate? Brother Zhao, if you want to eat some, I'll buy half of it, and we'll cook it together so you can come and pick it up later."
Zhao Hu admired Gu An'an and Zhou Yue; the two never tried to take advantage of others and were straightforward in their dealings.
But the more they acted this way, the less he wanted to take advantage of the two girls.
"If that's how you put it, then I'll just take this rabbit to the commune and sell it. Tell me, how long have we known each other? And you're still fussing over a rabbit?"
"Besides, I can't make your taste myself. I'll provide the rabbit, and you provide the seasonings and cooking skills. That way, I can come over and have a couple of bites, right?"
Having said that, Zhou Yue couldn't insist on paying anymore.
Gu An'an was not surprised at all by this result.
Back in the courtyard, Zhao Hu was in charge of roasting the rabbit, while Gu An'an and Zhou Yue went to the backyard to plant wild onions. By the time they finished, the rabbit had been prepared, and Zhao Hu had even brought over their food.
The quantity was even more than last time, which was really not his fault. It was mainly because Gu An'an's cooking skills were too good. He could eat two bowls of rice with just that meat soup. He really couldn't bring more.
Zhao Hu started the fire and cooked, Zhou Yue was in charge of all the preparations, and Gu An'an was the head chef.
When the aroma reached the next room, Zhang Zhaodi took a deep breath and said in a low voice, "They're living such a good life."
Actually, she wanted to say that Gu An'an and her family were living better than landlords and rich people, but when she thought of Gu An'an's methods, she changed her mind twice before saying it.
"The good things belong to others; you can't envy them."
Wang Erzhuang ate his thin porridge with gusto, imagining the pickled vegetables on the table as big fish and meat dishes.
Qian Xiaojun and Xie Yuan, who were standing to the side, were not in such a good mood.
They were jealous, really jealous.
Qian Xiaojun recalled that in his family, the men ate meat while the women drank porridge, and unconsciously complained, "It's a waste for women to eat so well."
As soon as he spoke, he realized there were three female educated youths at the table. He immediately regretted it, but then he thought that these three women were just as poor as him and there was nothing for them to gain. So he didn't want to apologize and just continued to drink his porridge, pretending that he hadn't said anything.
But just because he doesn't mention it doesn't mean others won't.
Li Yumei detested this kind of sexist rhetoric and immediately retorted, "What? Weren't you born of a woman? Why is it a waste for women to eat well? Gu An'an earns full work points every day, and Zhou Yue's family is so well-off. They can eat whatever they want. What does it have to do with you?"
Qian Xiaojun: "...I wasn't talking to you just now, why are you interrupting, you old hag."
He didn't say the last three words aloud, but he silently mouthed them, which was enough to make Li Yumei angry.
"Just because I'm a woman, I think I can interrupt? The leader even said that women hold up half the sky, tsk tsk? Do you want to go against the leader?"
Li Yumei said this not to help Gu An'an and the other person, but simply because she looked down on Qian Xiaojun. As soon as she said those words, she felt a surge of satisfaction.
Having been flattered, Qian Xiaojun naturally dared not say anything more, but just glared fiercely at Li Yumei.
