Jiang Hehu and the others were even happier to see the two rabbits and the chicken than to hear that Jiang Liu had gone to study in the county town.
The four of them ran over excitedly and chattered away around the chicken and rabbit.
Wow, more chicken to eat!
"And there's wild rabbit too. Just thinking about the taste of rabbit meat makes my mouth water," Jiang He said, licking his lips.
Seeing Jiang He's expression, Jiang Wanwan recalled the scene of the boy decisively snapping the rabbit's neck. She quickly picked up the two wild rabbits and held them protectively in her arms. "Stop! Stop! We need to keep these two wild rabbits so that our family can have a continuous supply of rabbit meat in the future."
This is a very important matter concerning whether she can eat rabbit meat often in the future, so it cannot be taken lightly!
Jiang Hehu Xun and his companions were disappointed; they had thought they would be able to eat wild rabbits again today.
Grandma Jiang waved her hand and said boldly, "Eldest son, go and deal with the pheasant. Third son, go to the well and bring back the pig's stomach and ribs. Third son's wife and I will go into the kitchen to cook."
Let's have pork rib, pheasant, and pork tripe soup for lunch!
These words drew cheers from the entire courtyard. Several boys couldn't help but clap their hands and jump around a few times.
Mrs. Hu laughed heartily, "I'll go help in the kitchen too."
“Then let’s build a rabbit hutch for the two rabbits!” Jiang Xun said.
Then, the four boys, Jiang, He, Hu, and Xun, started busying themselves in the yard.
Grandma Jiang was about to go into the kitchen when Uncle Jiang pulled her away.
As Uncle Jiang and Grandma Jiang walked towards the east room, Uncle Jiang leaned close to Grandma Jiang's ear to speak. As they were talking, they inexplicably turned around and glanced at Jiang Wanwan.
The two men's gazes were intense, and Jiang Wanwan couldn't ignore them even if she wanted to.
Uncle Jiang and his mother must be plotting something wicked!
Uncle Jiang and Grandma Jiang stayed in the east room for a while. When the mother and son came out, their smiles were even wider, as if they had found a jewel.
Grandma Jiang was in a very good mood and went into the kitchen to help with the cooking.
Soon, the Jiang family started their meal.
This time, Grandma Jiang was very generous. Even without Jiang Wanwan watching over her, she cooked a large pot of rice, no longer being as stingy as before.
Each person's bowl was filled with pork ribs, chicken, and pork belly.
Everyone ate until their bellies were round and full.
"These past few days have felt like a dream, with rice and meat all the time. I'm so happy," Jiang Xun said, rubbing her belly.
Jiang He squinted and said, "Who says it isn't? These past few days have felt like a dream. If it's all just a dream, I don't want to wake up."
Jiang Hu said, "My sister is our family's lucky star. Every time we go up the mountain, she catches pheasants, rabbits, or eggs. From now on, I'll follow her around."
Jiang Jiang nodded, "What Third Brother said is exactly what I wanted to say."
Madam Hu looked at Jiang Wanwan with a loving expression, "Dahu is right, Wanwan is our family's lucky star. Otherwise, we would still be eating coarse grains and wild vegetables."
Grandma Jiang chuckled and said, "Yes, yes, Wan'er is our family's lucky star. Before long, when Liu'er becomes an official, our family's life will be even better. Eating meat and rice every meal will not be a dream!"
"Grandma, don't worry. I will study hard and become an official as soon as possible, so you can enjoy a life of leisure. Maybe in the future, your grandson can even earn you a title of Lady of the Imperial Decree." Jiang Liu had a sweet tongue and knew how to make Grandma Jiang happy.
Jiang Wanwan looked at Jiang Liu in surprise. He was probably the ancestor of the "pie in the sky" masters.
The drawn cake was big, round, and thick.
Grandma Jiang couldn't possibly finish it all.
