Chapter 31 Xia Chunmei's Visit
Thinking about the spicy rabbit cubes that she didn't eat yesterday, after finishing her meal in the morning, Shen Anan used the excuse of going for a walk in the mountains, found a secluded place, and put five wild rabbits in the backpack.
This backpack was made specially for Shen Anan by his elder brother Shen Yuancheng. It was woven with thin bamboo strips and was much more refined than the common backpacks. It also had a lid as requested by Shen Anan.
This way she wouldn't have to worry about others seeing what was in the basket, so she would always stuff the basket with straw.
The wild rabbits obtained by signing in were all alive. Shen Anan was afraid that the villagers would notice the rabbits in the basket, so she could only tie up the rabbits' legs with vines.
When they got home, Shen Anan put the wild rabbit in the chicken coop at home. Because the current policy still does not allow raising chickens, the chicken coop at home has been vacant for a long time and is just right for raising rabbits temporarily.
When Shen Anan took the rabbits out of the basket, Liping and Lihua came over and said, "Wow, aunt, why are there so many rabbits?"
"I just went up the mountain and happened to run into the rabbit nest. How is it? Is it cute?" Shen Anan touched her niece's head. The food has been good recently, and the two little lolis' faces have a little baby fat, making them even cuter.
Shen Liping swallowed and whispered, "This rabbit is so fat, it must be... delicious!"
Shen Lihua was also nodding, staring at the trembling hare as if she was looking at a feast.
Shen Anan: “…”
However, the hares given by the system do look very tempting. Originally, hares should be thin and small, but the hares given by the system are plump and each one weighs six or seven kilograms.
Thinking about spicy diced rabbit and stir-fried rabbit meat, Shen Anan was also a little eager to try, but she didn't dare to handle a live rabbit.
Early this morning, Wang Sufen and Shen Laiyou went to the next village together.
Since becoming a police officer, Shen Yuanjia has become a hot commodity in the blind date market. When Zhu Mingzhu's incident happened yesterday, it also reminded Wang Sufen that she wanted to quickly settle down with the girl from the Zheng family, so she went out early in the morning.
While observing the ingredients for tonight with her nieces, Shen Anan suddenly heard a knock on the door.
"Why is it you? Is there something wrong?" Shen Anan looked at Xia Chunmei at the door, a little surprised.
She and Xia Chunmei had no intersection, and yesterday's communication was obviously very unpleasant, so she didn't expect Xia Chunmei to come to her.
Xia Chunmei's lips moved, and after a moment, as if she had made up her mind, she bowed to Shen Anan: "I'm sorry, I was wrong yesterday. I shouldn't have listened to Zhu Mingzhu's one-sided words and brought people to denounce you."
Shen Anan was frightened by Xia Chunmei's behavior and quickly helped her up, "You don't have to be like this. Just don't be so impulsive next time you encounter something."
"Like I said yesterday, your kindness is a good thing, but if you don't know how to judge people, it will become a knife in someone else's hand that hurts people."
She really didn't blame Xia Chunmei. She had discovered yesterday that this girl was an honest person, but was being used as a tool.
Xia Chunmei thought about what happened yesterday and her face turned ugly: "I really didn't expect Zhu Mingzhu to do such a thing. If you hadn't taken out the recording, I would have become an accomplice in harming others."
Xia Chunmei said, taking out a handkerchief from her bosom and handing it to Shen Anan: "I am here to apologize sincerely. This is the handkerchief I embroidered myself. Please accept it."
Shen Anan thought about it, reached out and took the handkerchief. When Xia Chunmei saw her accept the handkerchief, she was obviously relieved.
Shen Anan saw Xia Chunmei's self-blame from the beginning. If she didn't take the handkerchief, Xia Chunmei would probably be uneasy.
"Thank you. This handkerchief is really beautiful. I like it very much."
The handkerchief was pure white, with a cluster of wintersweets embroidered on one corner, which made it look quite elegant. Shen Anan couldn't let it go.
"As long as you like it." Xia Chunmei also had a smile on her face.
Xia Chunmei said a little nervously, "By the way, um...after this, can I be friends with you?"
Because Shen Anan seldom went out before, she had little contact with Shen Anan, but Shen Anan last night was really eye-catching. Xia Chunmei really liked the confidence in Shen Anan.
"I was just talking casually. If you don't want to, just pretend I didn't say it!" Seeing that Shen Anan didn't respond, Xia Chunmei quickly added a few words.
"How could that be? We'll be friends from now on. Please give me your guidance!" Shen Anan winked playfully and extended her hand to Xia Chunmei.
From what happened yesterday, it can be seen that Xia Chunmei is a very loyal person to her friends. In addition, after she realized that she had done something wrong, she took the initiative to apologize, which is enough to prove her sincerity.
Shen Anan really doesn't have any sisters of the same age in this village. After all, humans are social animals. There are nice people around, and she also wants to integrate more into this era.
"Great, can I call you An An from now on?" Xia Chunmei happily grabbed the hand in front of her.
"Of course, Chunmei."
The two of them agreed to go to the mountains to pick mushrooms together the next day, and Xia Chunmei reluctantly returned home.
Wang Sufen and Shen Laiyou didn't return home until the afternoon, and when Shen Anan saw the smile on Wang Sufen's face, she knew that she was very satisfied with Zheng Caiyan.
“Mom, is my sixth sister-in-law pretty?” Shen Anan was a little gossipy. Although she was just from the next village, she had never seen Zheng Caiyan.
Wang Sufen couldn't stop laughing: "What's the big deal? When choosing a daughter-in-law, you don't just look at her face."
When Shen Anan saw Wang Sufen's somewhat proud expression, she knew that her sixth sister-in-law would not look bad.
Shen Anan came up to Shen Laiyou and asked curiously, "Dad, why is my mother so happy?"
Chen Laiyou was also cheerful, "Sixth Brother has good taste. The Zheng family girl is good-looking and hardworking. She even invited us to have lunch just now. Her cooking skills are not inferior to those of the chefs in state-owned restaurants."
"Ah, because of Old Zheng's matter, Caiyan has to observe mourning for a year, so we can only get them engaged first." Wang Sufen felt a little regretful, but she was really satisfied with her daughter-in-law, and her son liked her, so waiting for a year was not a big deal.
"Oh, it seems I have to be careful. When Sixth Sister-in-law comes home, I'm afraid that mother will be so fond of her daughter-in-law that she will forget about me~!" Shen Anan deliberately spoke in a sour tone.
Wang Sufen's regret was quickly dispelled by Shen Anan's coquettishness, and she said unhappily: "Didn't you say yesterday that you are your parents' little darling?"
Shen Anan grabbed the corner of Wang Sufen’s clothes and shook it: “My dearest mother, your little baby wants to eat spicy rabbit cubes!”
Wang Sufen couldn't resist Shen Anan's coquettish offensive, and ordered Shen Laiyou to clean up the wild rabbit.
Five fat rabbits would yield dozens of kilograms of meat. Wang Sufen originally wanted to keep the rabbits and eat them slowly, but she couldn't resist Shen Anan's obsession and let Shen Laiyou clean them all.
"Mom, wait until Sixth Brother comes back and ask him to give Grandma two rabbits!"
"Well, your grandmother will be happy."
The Shen family's dinner consisted of a large bowl of spicy diced rabbit and a large bowl of dry-pot rabbit meat. The whole family praised the food highly. Even the youngest, Shen Yurong, couldn't help it. He ate the food while sucking away the spiciness.
Shen Anan gnawed the rabbit head in her hand contentedly, and once again felt lucky that she had bound herself to the sign-in system!
Life is nothing but eating and drinking!
