Chang Le whispered in Yan Ci's ear, "Uncle Yan, what's that?"
Yan Ci stepped back a few paces before saying, "That's a sika deer."
The group was very excited. Every time they went hunting, they caught pheasants, rabbits, roe deer, wild boars, and the like.
I've never even seen a sika deer before; this is the first time I've ever seen one.
Bai Wenyi occasionally hears about people buying venison, and the price is extremely high.
But he had only heard about it from his grandfather's generation, who said that they had hunted deer before.
Seeing a live sika deer this time filled me with indescribable excitement.
He looked at Yan Ci with expectant eyes. Yan Ci checked the distance; it was a bit far, not within range.
He gestured for the others to stay still and quietly went forward to find a good spot.
Yan Ci had never seen a sika deer, only heard that it ran very fast.
If they miss their target, they will escape.
Yan Ci took a few deep breaths, focused his attention on the sika deer, and fired two shots.
Yan Xiaosong and Bai Wenyi ran over and saw that the sika deer had fallen to the ground.
The group immediately cheered and shouted.
Chang Le rushed over and touched the antlers, then looked at the circular patterns with great curiosity.
Wen Tong was the same; he touched and looked at the sika deer from all angles, finding it incredibly rare and fascinating.
Everyone was very happy to have hunted a sika deer.
Yan Ci asked the group, "What do you want to do?"
Bai Wenyi spoke first:
"Yan Ci, this venison is nutritious and can fetch a high price. Why don't I take it and sell it?"
Yan Ci looked around and saw that none of them had any objections.
Then, he nodded and said:
"Let's go down the mountain first. You can make the arrangements as you see fit, but be careful."
Bai Wenyi: "You can rest assured about what I do."
The group headed down the mountain, but Chang Le was exhausted when they reached the halfway point.
Seeing that the little one couldn't walk anymore, Yan Ci let her lie on his back and carried her home.
Once the little one's excitement wore off, he became drowsy.
With Yan Ci and Chang Le both heading into the mountains, Bai Xiaoyue, who was at home, couldn't possibly sleep.
After Xiaobai fell asleep, she wrote in her parenting diary while waiting for the two of them to return.
Hearing the noise, she looked up and saw Yan Ci carrying Chang Le back. She immediately stood up.
Seeing her anxious, Yan Ci quickly comforted his wife:
"Don't panic, she's just asleep."
Bai Xiaoyue carried Chang Le down and placed her on the kang (a heated brick bed).
She let out a cry of pain because her legs had gone numb from sitting for too long, and getting up too suddenly made them hurt.
Yan Ci quickly helped her sit down, his face full of anxiety as he asked:
"Wife, where does it hurt?"
Bai Xiaoyue waved her hand:
"Aci, I'm fine, my legs are just a little numb, I'll be fine after sitting for a while."
Yan Ci: "Wife, sit for a while. I'll carry Chang Le back to her room and then come and give you a massage."
Bai Xiaoyue wouldn't let her go: "Aci, the food's still warm in the pot, you go eat first. Aren't you tired after running around all day?"
Yan Ci put Chang Le back in her room and brought back the food.
After sitting for a while, Bai Xiaoyue was able to move her legs freely again.
Yan Ci was relieved and, while eating, reported his day's harvest to his wife:
"Wife, we hunted two wild boars and a sika deer today."
Bai Xiaoyue was very surprised and stared at Yan Ci with wide eyes:
"I've only ever seen sika deer in books and on TV; I've never seen a real one."
"This is the first time any of us have ever seen a live sika deer!"
"What a pity, I didn't see it."
"Wenyi has already taken it and sold it. I'll take you up the mountain to see it alive later."
"Wow, wow, Aci, you're really amazing! You even managed to hunt a sika deer!"
Yan Ci was delighted to hear his wife praise him and said with a smile:
"It's not because I'm good at it, it's because Chang Le discovered it. The little one was lucky; she even shot a pheasant with her slingshot."
Bai Xiaoyue also smiled and said:
"That's because my son Aci is a good marksman."
She thought to herself, "Chang Le is so lucky, could it be that I'm really destined to be a baby girl!"
Feeling pleased with his wife's praise, Yan Ci quickly cleaned up the dishes.
Then he came back, got on the kang (heated brick bed), and hugged Bai Xiaoyue:
"Honey, I'm so amazing, shouldn't I get a reward?"
Bai Xiaoyue asked him, "So what kind of reward do you want?"
"I want you." Yan Ci whispered in his wife's ear, then pounced on her to ask for a reward.
Bai Xiaoyue's exclamation was swallowed up by Yan Ci.
...
The next afternoon, Bai Wenyi came to find Yan Ci.
As soon as he entered the room, he excitedly said:
"Sika deer are really valuable. The antlers and venison sold for 600 yuan, while two wild boars only cost 240 yuan."
Bai Xiaoyue asked with some curiosity:
"Don't people like to eat fatty meat? Why is venison so valuable?"
Bai Wenyi shook his head: "Xiaoyue, you don't understand. What you're talking about are ordinary people. Rich people like to eat these rare things."
Then he took out a wad of money from his pocket and put it on the kang table.
Then he said to Yan Ci, "Yan Ci, this is half of the money. Wen An, Xiao Song, and I will split the other half."
Yan Ci did not refuse and nodded.
When it was time for bed that night, Bai Xiaoyue counted the money with a smile, and after she finished counting, she covered her mouth and giggled.
Seeing his wife beaming with joy, Yan Ci teased her, "Wife, why are you so happy?"
Bai Xiaoyue said excitedly:
“Aci, when I first arrived in this era, I felt like I couldn’t go on living and wanted to lie down and wait to die.”
It turned out that Chang Le had enough food and money every month, so she could support me.
Later, Wen'an also said that he could support me after he got into university and started working.
It made me feel that although life here is tough, there is still hope for the future.
Ah Ci, look how much money Chang Le has brought back from exchanging sika deer! We can't even spend it all in a year.
Tell me, am I really destined to be a freeloader to rely on my sibling?
Yan Ci narrowed his phoenix eyes slightly, and said with a half-smile, "Wife, what did you say you wanted to gnaw on? I didn't hear you clearly."
Bai Xiaoyue, unaware of the danger, casually remarked, "I said I'm destined to leech off babies!"
Yan Ci hugged Bai Xiaoyue tightly, staring into her eyes:
"Bai Xiaoyue, with me around, you can only rely on me."
Yan Ci spoke earnestly, which stunned Bai Xiaoyue.
After a long pause, she muttered softly, "You're younger than me too, so you're still relying on your younger sibling."
Yan Ci was amused and said jokingly, "Whether it's small or not, let's judge after my wife has taken a bite!"
After saying that, he hugged his wife and put his words into action, using both his hands and mouth.
Bai Xiaoyue exclaimed, "That's not what I meant, Aci! Have you no shame?"
...
From then on, Bai Xiaoyue dared not say that she wanted to gnaw on Xiao, because it was too hard on her back.
With nothing to do in winter, everyone huddled on the kang (heated brick bed). Yan Ci and Chang Le watched over Xiao Bai, while Bai Xiao Yue occasionally wrote articles. Life was peaceful and comfortable.
My eldest cousin's wife occasionally brings her child over for a visit, revealing bits and pieces of the TV series' sequel, which adds a bit of fun to her life.
It turns out that Bai Xiaomei is causing trouble again.
Lin's mother didn't like Bai Xiaomei to begin with, and it only got worse after Bai Xiaomei gave birth to her daughter.
Lin Hua was fine at first, but after the novelty wore off, Bai Xiaomei had a child, her figure changed, and she started complaining incessantly.
Gradually, Lin Hua stopped liking to stay at home and often wandered around outside. Since he had some money, people started flirting with him.
This time it was because Bai Xiaomei saw Lin Hua shopping with a beautiful woman, and the two were acting very intimately.
She rushed forward to hit the woman, but Lin Hua protected her and pushed her to the ground.
She then took her daughter and ran back to her parents' home, crying and sobbing.
