Aunt Li happened to be free today, so she made some delicious food and came to visit her pregnant daughter-in-law. Their family was busy in the past few days. The eldest daughter-in-law took over the younger daughter-in-law's job, and her eldest son and her old man were very busy, so she had to help at home.
When she finally had some free time, she remembered her daughter-in-law and came to her house with the things she had prepared long ago.
"Hey, what are you talking about? You're laughing so happily."
"Mom, how come you have time to come here? We are knitting sweaters! Mom, please come in and sit down."
When Aunt Li entered the house and saw the three people, she was a little surprised at first, but when she thought about the fact that Su Tao had built a house in their backyard, she immediately got used to it.
"I just happened to have some time to come and see you today, and I happened to bring you some pickled cucumbers and plums. Your aunt sent these plums specially when she heard you were pregnant. You can eat a few of them if you feel uncomfortable. She also sent a lot of osmanthus flowers when she came. I made some osmanthus cakes today, and I brought them to you while they are still warm."
Song Tangcheng was immediately delighted when she heard this, "Then, mother, have you thanked my aunt for me? You are so busy now, but you still remember me. You and my aunt are so kind to me."
"You're just good at talking sweetly. It's all because of your intention. Oh, Su Zhiqing and Xiaolan, come and try my cooking. I made quite a bit this time."
"Thank you, Aunt Li." The two of them thanked her in unison, then reached out to take the fragrant osmanthus cake.
Osmanthus cake is made of dried osmanthus flowers. The fragrance of osmanthus is not particularly strong, but the faint fragrance of osmanthus when eaten can arouse people's appetite.
After the three of them tasted the osmanthus cake, they immediately became flatterers and made Aunt Li extremely happy. They looked so elated that she wished she could go back and make another plate for them right away.
But if you eat too much of this stuff, you will easily get indigestion and won’t be able to eat lunch, so the three of them didn’t eat much.
The laughter and joy here formed a sharp contrast with the silence on the mountain. This time, not only Cheng Fangyuan and his companions went up the mountain, but Xu Qi also brought his younger brother with him. However, he did not let the villagers see him, but took a detour to go up the mountain at the village entrance.
The four of them were waiting for Xu Qi and the other two at the old place. This time, time was tight and they didn't have much preparation, so they didn't plan to stay on the mountain for long.
I just didn’t expect to have such a big harvest today, but unfortunately, when luck comes, it is often unstoppable.
They went to a few familiar places and just checked out of habit, but they didn't expect there were really rabbits in the holes.
Cheng Fangyuan was a little surprised when he saw the rabbit feces. They often caught rabbits here before and thought that these rabbits were going to move to another place to live. Unexpectedly, they returned to their original place after not catching them for a while.
"You guys go block the entrance to the cave, I'll light the fire. Remember to leave one male and one female with the little one, or they'll all starve to death and have no rabbits to eat."
"I know, I know. Don't worry, Brother Yuan. We are all experienced."
Xu Qi's good brother, who is also his second-in-command, is named Wu. Everyone calls him Lao Wu. Since they got to know each other, he often followed them to the mountains to hunt, and gradually became familiar with Cheng Fangyuan.
He was very familiar with this aspect. He quickly found the holes and sealed the extra holes, leaving only 5 holes, which he blocked with a backpack.
After a series of operations, they successfully harvested 7 big rabbits. This time the harvest was particularly rich, and everyone was very happy.
They began to search for the next cave entrance with great energy. They were already familiar with this mountain and knew clearly where the rabbit holes were and where the dangers were.
After digging several familiar rabbit holes, they harvested more than 20 rabbits. However, this number was considered a normal harvest for their team. After all, there were 6 of them, and if they divided the harvest equally, each person would not get many rabbits.
Fortunately, on the way to dig the rabbit hole, they encountered pheasants and successfully killed a male and a female.
I also harvested a nest of eggs, but pheasant eggs are not very big, and a nest of eggs didn't take up much space in the backpack.
Because there was not enough time today, they did not challenge large prey, but instead only attacked pheasants and rabbits. Fortunately, they were also very sensible and did not catch them all in one fell swoop.
At noon they found a small stream in the mountains, killed a few rabbits, and roasted them for food.
"Xiaoqi, have you been living in town recently?"
"Well, it's more convenient in town." Xu Qi thought about how he lived in his sister's house. Whenever he went out, he had to say hello to his sister. His sister was the kind of person who liked to ask questions.
Every time he was caught, he was questioned.
"Are you free recently? We can stay in the mountains for a longer time." Cheng Fangyuan thought that his wife was pregnant and needed meat to replenish her body, so he thought about hunting more prey while he still had time before the food was distributed.
"If we're free, Brother Yuan, we'll come to see you early tomorrow. Prepare some dry food, and we'll stay in the mountains for a few days." Xu Qi thought for a while and said.
"Okay." Cheng Fangyuan had no objection to this. They often spent the night in the mountains for hunting before. Although it would be dangerous to spend the night in the mountains, they were already familiar with the road conditions. As long as they paid attention, there would be no problem finding a cave to spend the night.
Old Wu was suddenly curious when he heard Cheng Fangyuan was so enthusiastic about hunting in the mountains. "Brother Yuan, weren't you not very interested in hunting before? Why are you so anxious now? Are you short of money? If you are, I can lend you some."
"No, my wife is pregnant, and the doctor said she needs to be well-nourished. So I thought of hunting more prey to nourish her."
When Lao Wu heard this, he immediately understood. "Oh, so that's how it is. Congratulations, Brother Yuan, you're going to be a father."
