"Sister, Third Aunt, look what this is!" Qin Yan's excited voice came from outside.
Yunling subconsciously turned around to look, oh my, she subconsciously took two steps back, staring in shock at the snake Qin Yan was holding.
Her heart was pounding, and her voice trembled: "You should throw it away right away."
Qin Tao was also startled, staring dumbfounded at the snake her sister was carrying.
Qin Yan said dismissively, "This is meat, why throw it away? Snake meat is delicious and very tender."
After saying that, he even took a slurp.
Qin Tao examined it carefully, tugged at Yun Ling's sleeve, and said, "This is... a rat snake, it's not poisonous."
Yunling's biggest fear is snakes, and her biggest hatred is cockroaches. Looking at the soft and sweet little girl holding a half-meter-long snake, which was even twitching, she thought it was alive if its head hadn't been smashed to pieces. Her voice trembled as she said, "Next time you encounter a snake, you can't do this. Most snakes are poisonous. If you get bitten, you'll lose your life."
Qin Yan said innocently, "I'm not stupid. I knew it was a rat snake and it wasn't poisonous, so I caught it. Besides, I smashed it to death."
Yun Ling: “…”
Qin Tao took the basket and pressed the pig feed inside onto another basket. Qin Yan threw the snake in, took a few steps forward, and reached for Yun Ling's hand.
Yunling took a few steps back, remembering that she had just touched the snake. Her breathing became rapid, and goosebumps rose on her skin. She said, "Let's take this snake home first, and then go back to the pig farm."
Qin Yan nodded immediately, her eyes full of anticipation, thinking that she might be able to eat delicious snake meat at noon.
The group took a detour back along the path. Qin Yan skipped and hopped along the way, very excited, her basket swaying back and forth behind her.
Yunling was terrified.
The little girl is really brave.
Back at the Qin family home, the courtyard gate was wide open. Qin Rui was sitting obediently at the kitchen doorway. When she saw them return, her eyes lit up and she ran over.
She asked in a childish voice, "Big sister, second sister, third aunt, why are you back?"
Qin Yan put down the basket, quickly peeled away the pig feed on top, pulled out the snake, and said happily, "Look, little brother, we can eat meat now."
Yunling didn't even have time to stop it, and thought she would hear the child crying in fear the next second.
Unexpectedly, Qin Rui clapped his hands happily: "Second sister is great, eat meat, eat meat!"
He squatted down, stretched out his little finger, and poked the snake.
Yunling quickly pulled him away, but Qin Rui struggled in her arms, pointing his delicate white fingers at the snake on the ground and murmuring, "Meat, meat..."
Hearing the commotion in the yard, Qin Tiantian came out and immediately saw the snake on the ground. Her eyes lit up, and she said happily, "Third Sister-in-law, you caught this snake."
"Auntie, I caught it." Qin Yan raised her chin and said proudly.
Qin Tiantian was skeptical. "Really?"
Yunling glanced at the snake on the ground, which remained motionless, still feeling frightened. She met Qin Tiantian's eyes and said, "Little Swallow caught it; it really startled me."
Looking at the fearless Qin Yan, Qin Tiantian felt a little scared. If they had encountered a poisonous snake, she would have lost her life.
She bent down and placed her hands on Qin Yan's tender shoulders, looked into her eyes, and scolded, "You can't do that next time. If you see a snake, just stay away from it, no matter if it's poisonous or not."
Many snakes look very similar, and it's dangerous if you mistake one for a non-venomous one.
Qin Yan blinked and said, "I understand."
Qin Tiantian nodded, thinking to herself that she should still talk to her mother about this, otherwise it would be dangerous for her to develop a bold personality later on.
Yunling hadn't expected the child to be so bold. Even ordinary people, knowing that the snake wasn't poisonous, wouldn't dare to catch it.
Looking at Qin Yan, I saw that her gaze was fixed on the snake, and there were still glistening water stains at the corners of her mouth. How much this child was craving meat!
"I'll go to the fields to deliver water later and ask Mom when we're going to eat this snake," Qin Tiantian said.
Yunling nodded: "Then I'll take the children to work."
Before leaving, Yunling insisted that Qin Yan wash her hands three times and the basket containing the snakes twice before slowly returning to the pig farm.
Grandpa Liu was lying on a recliner under a willow tree, snoring loudly.
After putting down the pig feed in her basket, Yunling took the two girls to gather more pig feed, this time in a different place, at the foot of the mountain to the west.
This time, Yunling followed the two girls closely and quickly cut the pig feed. On the way home, Qin Tao picked various beautiful wildflowers as they walked.
Yunling thought the little girl loved beauty and also noticed the wildflowers by the roadside, and even helped her pick flowers.
Qin Tao was very skillful and wove a beautiful wreath out of wildflowers. "Third Aunt, this is for you."
"Give it to me?" Yunling pointed to herself with her index finger.
Qin Tao nodded heavily, glanced at Qin Yan in front of her, and whispered, "I know, Third Aunt is afraid of snakes. She turned pale at the time."
Yunling felt a warmth in her heart, took the flower wreath from Qin Tao, put it on her head, and asked, "Does it look good?"
Qin Tao: "Third Aunt is so beautiful."
Yunling smiled happily, her eyebrows curving upwards.
After a while, Qin Yan also noticed the flower wreath on Yunling's head and realized that it was made by her sister. She fell into deep thought.
A while later, on her way home from the pig farm, Yunling received another wreath, woven from willow branches. It was loosely woven and adorned with a few small yellow flowers, making it uniquely beautiful.
Looking into Qin Yan's expectant eyes, Yun Ling sincerely praised, "Very beautiful."
After all, it's a token of the child's affection.
"Why isn't Third Aunt wearing it?" Qin Yan asked, blinking her big eyes.
The little girl's eyes were full of expectation, sparkling. So Yunling took off the flower wreath Qin Tao had made and put on the flower wreath Qin Yan had given her. On the way back, she attracted a lot of attention.
Qin Yan noticed it too, clapped her hands happily, and said, "Everyone must think that Auntie looks very beautiful in this flower wreath, which is why they keep looking at her."
Yun Ling: “…”
As soon as she stepped into the house, Liu Yun burst out laughing and said loudly, "Third sister-in-law's skills are terrible. This flower wreath you made is worse than what a three-year-old could make. It's the first time I've ever seen such an ugly flower wreath."
The whole family looked at Yunling's head. To be honest, they had never seen such an ugly wreath before. At first glance, it looked like a chicken coop with its feathers standing on end.
Zhang Guihua suppressed a laugh, but seeing her daughter-in-law's blushing face, she took the initiative to smooth things over, saying, "What are you laughing at? I'm embarrassed to even mention the first basket you ever wove."
Liu Yun retorted, "Can a bamboo basket and a flower wreath be the same?"
