Yuan Shitou and Yun Xiaoxiao returned home without alerting anyone.
It was already late afternoon.
When Yuan's mother saw the two large carts of goods, she was also greatly startled.
"What's inside all of this?"
"How come there are so many?"
Mr. Yuan and Yuan Ping'an also came over, curiously examining the two men and the items on the wheelbarrow.
Yuan Shitou told Xiaoxiao to sit down and rest. He then ran to close the gate before starting to unload the things from the wheelbarrow.
Yuan's mother still felt sorry for her son and told him to sit down and rest as well.
She, Mr. Yuan, and little Yuan Ping'an started working.
Everyone is speculating about what's inside.
Yuan Shitou had barely sat down when he stepped in to help again.
The main reason is that he tied the rope himself and knew how to untie it.
To prevent them from spilling the contents.
The other things, however, can be picked up.
If the salt is spilled, it can't be picked up.
When Yuan's mother saw the several large bags of salt, she exclaimed in surprise, "How could you have collected so much salt? There must be several hundred pounds!"
Everything has been cleaned up.
Should we clean it again?
Xiao Xiao smiled as she watched them unload the goods, then pointed to the other side and said, "There are still a few bags over there."
It must weigh around 700 or 800 pounds.
"Wow, so much! How long will it take to eat?"
Mrs. Yuan was very surprised.
Xiao Xiao smiled, her eyes crinkling: "It looks like a lot, but it won't last long in practice."
Mother Yuan nodded: "Yes, just pickling the game requires a lot of salt."
Mr. Yuan took a piece of dried meat and smelled it: "What kind of meat is this? It doesn't look like wild beef."
There are still so many?
Yuan Shitou pointed to the meat in his hand and said, "What you're holding is tiger meat."
That's bear meat over there.
Mr. and Mrs. Yuan, who were in a state of joy, were suddenly stunned.
After a while, Yuan's mother raised her hand and patted Yuan Shitou on the back:
"You reckless fool, what have you done? Tigers and bears everywhere. Are you trying to scare me to death?"
As she continued scolding, she turned to Xiaoxiao: "Oh, my precious darling."
Are you hurt?
Look how dark they've gotten, they're almost as black as charcoal.
Whose daughter is so dark-skinned?
"Yuan Shitou, you're so heartless! You deserve to be a bachelor for life."
As Yuan's mother held Xiaoxiao, who was resting nearby, tears streamed down her face.
I feel so heartbroken.
Yuan Ping'an also looked at his uncle with disdain: "That's right, your aunt suffered a lot after marrying you."
If you're not capable, don't marry.
Isn't this ruining someone's daughter's life?
I won't bear to see my wife suffer like this after I get married.
"Oh dear, Auntie, you're so pitiful. Why don't you just divorce your uncle?"
His words made Yun Xiaoxiao laugh so hard that tears streamed down her face.
Yuan Shitou was so angry with his young nephew that he kept blowing his beard.
Yuan Ping'an wasn't afraid of him at all: "Stop bragging, look at your slovenly appearance."
I don't know what made your aunt fall for you.
"Look at that beard, I wonder if it has lice."
Unable to contain himself any longer, Yuan Shitou roared, "Yuan Ping'an, I am your uncle."
"How can you speak so disparagingly of your own uncle?"
After yelling, he touched his beard, which was indeed quite long.
I hope Xiaoxiao won't mind.
Turning his head, he saw Xiaoxiao smiling broadly and chuckled along with her.
Father Yuan glared at his thick-skinned, bear-like son, his eyes full of disapproval.
Yuan Shitou was somewhat at a loss at this moment.
He had long regretted taking Xiaoxiao to that forest.
Who knew it would be so dangerous inside?
I wish I hadn't gone.
Seeing that everyone was protecting her, Xiao Xiao berated Yuan Shitou mercilessly.
I also felt sorry for him.
After all, it was she who wanted to go into the woods, but it was Yuan Shitou who got scolded.
Feeling somewhat apologetic, he said, "Please don't blame him, it was my idea to go."
At the time, I didn't know it would be so dangerous inside.
Didn't you come back safely? Hehe.
After saying that, he smiled sheepishly.
Mother Yuan patted her gently and said to Yuan Shitou, "You're not allowed to take Xiaoxiao to such dangerous places in the future, understand?"
Yuan Shitou nodded and replied, "I won't go, I won't go. Don't worry, I won't go anymore."
I'm not kidding them, I really won't be going.
No matter how much Xiaoxiao makes a fuss, we won't go there again.
The family started cleaning again.
After everything was sorted out, it was all put into the cellar.
The family breathed a sigh of relief.
Mother Yuan didn't let Xiao Xiao and Yuan Shitou move. She made a simple dinner and then told them to go to bed early.
Although Yuan's mother felt sorry for Xiaoxiao, she also felt sorry for her only son.
Look at how thin they've become after this trip!
The next day, after the two got up, Yuan's mother asked how to prepare the shark meat.
Xiao Xiao asked, "This is what I was thinking: let's give one piece to one of the better ones. What do you think?"
There are so many, after all.
The rest should be dried and stored.
Mother Yuan nodded: "That's what I think too."
"You were the ones who hunted it, so you should be the ones making the decisions."
Little Xiao was unhappy: "Mother, we are family."
Why do you say that?
"Don't you want to love me anymore?"
"Oh my, I just asked a simple question, and you've already given me such a long answer."
Alright, alright, it's Mother's fault, it's Mother's fault.
"Alright, my darling."
Xiao Xiao smiled so hard her eyes narrowed into slits; she loved it when her mother called her "little darling."
As she packed the things, Yuan's mother said, "I forgot to tell you last night."
Yuan Min gave birth to two big, healthy boys.
"It's so fair and tender, so pretty."
Xiao Xiao was very surprised: "So fast? Shouldn't it be next month?"
"She is pregnant with twins, which usually happens earlier than expected."
"Then I'll go see her and check on the children while I'm at it."
"Mother, pack more for Minmin, I'll take it to her."
Mother Yuan agreed and took a basket from her back: "Here, I've packed it all for you. Go early and come back early, and your mother will cook you something delicious."
Xiao Xiao excitedly called out to Yuan Shitou, "Brother Shitou, let's go see Minmin together."
Yuan Shitou ran out quickly.
He had heard what his mother said earlier, and he felt an indescribable envy in his heart.
When Xiaoxiao saw Yuan Min's twins, her eyes lit up.
What an adorable child! She wants one too.
Yuan Shitou called out from outside, "Bring Xiaoxiao out so I can see her."
Yuan Min is still in her postpartum period, and Yuan Shitou is a man, so it's not appropriate for him to go in.
They could only urge Xiaoxiao to come out quickly.
Fan Tiesheng jokingly said, "Brother Shitou, you like kids so much, why aren't you planning to have one yet?"
Yuan Shitou's eyes flickered: "No rush, we'll talk about it later."
She held one in each arm, her face full of smiles.
It was as if this was her child.
"Hey Stone, look! They're so cute, they're even yawning."
Fan Tiesheng also had a smile on his face as he taught Yuan Shitou how to hug him.
Yuan Shitou rolled his eyes at him: "Alright, I can carry you. I carried Ping An a lot when he was little."
You don't need to teach me.
