Chen Zian himself is a very skilled person, and he also brings Mucang with him.
When we arrived at the Red Heart Brigade, we were told to go hunting in the mountains.
In the past two years, I have eaten a lot of wild game sent from my father-in-law’s house, and I have become greedy for it.
So much so that Chen Zian had the illusion that the mountains of the Red Heart Brigade were full of prey.
Chen Zian forgot at this moment that this might not be the case.
Otherwise, just relying on the prey on the mountain, the people of the Heart Brigade would not have a hard time.
This time he was going to stay in the Heart Brigade for several days, and he felt that the time had come for him to show off his talents.
When Grandma Su heard what he said, she stopped him in a hurry.
"Why are you going up the mountain? It's so cold. Our family has a lot of meat this year, which is enough to eat."
Chen Zian was so satisfied that he certainly didn't want to give up.
It's been years and I haven't had the chance to hunt again.
"Auntie, I have been busy for a year and plan to go to the mountains. I will bring back a sheep by the way. In this weather, it is best to drink sheep soup."
There is indeed a lot of meat at home this year, but not mutton.
Forget it, Chen Zian is an adult, he can go if he wants to, it doesn’t matter!
Grandma Su put the matter aside instantly!
Su Xiaojiu looked at her uncle and suddenly asked, "Uncle, are you taking Xiaotian with you when you go up the mountain?"
Chen Zian didn't know the reason why Su Xiaojiu asked this, so he said matter-of-factly: "Xiaotian is too young, she is still a girl."
He looked at Su Xiaojiu's weird look and thought he was just a child who wanted to follow her up the mountain.
But in his opinion, the mountain is too dangerous, and it would not be good if something happened to him with such a young child.
"Xiaojiu wants to go to the mountains? You are too young. I will wait two years before taking you to the mountains."
Su Xiaojiu did not feel regretful because of these words, but had a smile of unknown meaning.
The other children of the Su family were also surprised that Chen Zian didn't take Su Xiaotian up the mountain to hunt.
Why don't you take Xiaotian to the mountains to play?
I guess I can only find a few dead branches, right?
But thinking that Chen Zian was a very capable person, he didn't say anything.
After dinner, everyone sat together and talked for a while, and then went to rest.
On the second day, Chen Zian went hunting in the mountains with Su Shouwen and other older children in high spirits.
Before leaving, he confidently said that there would be mutton soup for dinner.
Su Xiaojiu looked at him strangely, but Chen Zian didn't take it to heart at all.
He even touched Su Xiaojiu's forehead and said, "Boy, go to the mountain again in a few years!"
After hearing this, Su Xiaotian thought that in two years' time, she might not be able to go hunting in the mountains.
When the Wildlife Protection Law comes out, hunting will be a crime.
However, there is no need to say these words at this time to make people feel uncomfortable.
Su Xiaotian happily planned to show off her skills in frying pancakes today.
But watching them leave, Grandma Su, who was lighting the fire, suddenly said: "I'm afraid they will leave empty-handed today."
Su Manxiu didn't know the key point, so she thought her mother was worried that Chen Zian was unfamiliar with the mountains, so she thought she might not be able to catch the prey.
"It's okay, just go up there and walk around, just think of it as fun."
While Su Manxiu was talking, she was chopping meat fillings without any fuss.
"Xiu'er, this year I roasted some spicy food and put it in a small jar for you. When you go back after the New Year, you can take it home with you."
"Mom, why are you still giving me a subsidy? My sisters-in-law know about it and they want to have opinions!"
Wang Xianghua, who was walking in, heard this and said cheerfully: "No objection, no objection."
Wang Xianghua didn't have any objections. The other two sisters-in-law were not in the brigade. The things distributed in the brigade had nothing to do with them, so naturally they would not have any objections.
Of course, the main reason for this is that Su Manxiu is not a fussy person and will always find ways to repay the benefits received from her parents' family in other ways.
The three daughters-in-law of the old Su family could even tolerate the former Su Manxiang, let alone the current Su Manxiu who is so good.
"Sister, my second sister-in-law doesn't like to hear this. This year, you have taken care of our children. Not to mention that my mother gave you a small can of meat dumplings, even a big can!"
Qi Liangying's words were very sincere. Although she was a stingy person with a little petty heart, she was also aware of the general situation and knew that some things should not be taken too seriously.
After all, the atmosphere in Lao Su's family is very good, and everyone is not a careless person.
Not to mention Liang Xiu, she has always been a virtuous person and will not care about this.
"Mom, eat meatballs, meatballs!" Chen Xiuyuan ran into the kitchen at some point and hugged Su Manxiu's legs and said.
"Hey, why is Xiao Xiuyuan here? Xiao Jiu, what do you think of your brother? Take him out quickly, it won't be good if you burn it!" Qi Liangying hurriedly shouted outside.
Su Xiaoqi quickly ran in and took little Chen Xiuyuan out without being deceived.
Su Xiaotian sat obediently on the edge of the table, busy turning the dough in her hands into dough shapes.
She is a clever little girl who can make flowers, butterflies and other small animals.
Each one was so lifelike that even Grandma Su marveled at how exquisitely the baby was made.
This year is a good year. The Su family not only made fried crispy pork and fried meatballs, but also fried a lot of noodles and fruits.
The adults mainly make twists and pancakes, while Su Xiaotian specializes in making various noodles and fruits.
When Su Taohua brought Amelia Su over to help, this was what she saw.
"Xiaotian is so clever with her hands. It's all Xiaomei's skill, but it's nothing compared to Xiaotian!" Su Taohua took one look at her and couldn't help but admire her.
"This kid has loved helping in the kitchen since he was a child."
Although Grandma Su spoke modestly, she did not hide her pride at all.
Fortunately, Su Taohua was used to Grandma Su's unabashed love for Su Xiaotian, so she washed her hands and helped knead the dough.
Amelia Su was sitting with Su Xiaotian eating fruit with great interest.
The whole family got busy and even ate only one pancake for lunch.
In the afternoon, the women had just finished their work when they saw Chen Zian and the others came back lazily.
Not to mention mutton, not even a pheasant was caught.
Su Manxiu looked at Chen Zian who returned empty-handed and smiled: "Mother was right!"
"What did auntie say?" Chen Zian asked curiously while washing his hands.
"Mom said, you will definitely come back empty-handed today!"
Chen Zian himself was also puzzled. How come the old Su family could get a lot of game while he went up the mountain and returned empty-handed?
Is it possible that a veteran who has been on the battlefield is worse than a few dolls?
"How did Auntie know that I would come home empty-handed today?" Chen Zian couldn't help but asked curiously.
Su Manxiu shook his head: "I don't know!"
Xiaojiu happened to hear it from the side and said seriously: "That's because uncle didn't take Xiaotian with him."
As he said that, he also strangled his little neck desperately.
Forehead····
Chen Zian didn't understand it more and more.
"Uncle, let me tell you secretly. When we go hunting in the mountains, we always take Xiaotian with us. As long as Xiaotian is on the mountain, those pheasants and wild sheep will come over one by one, and there will also be wild rabbits that will be killed by themselves.
It's on the tree, waiting for us to pick it up."
Will Chen Zian believe it?
Obviously not!
What kind of strange and confusing statement is this?
I have never heard of such a strange thing in my whole life.
"I'm serious, uncle. We went up the mountain to pick mushrooms, and the mushrooms grew under Xiaotian's feet."
Seeing that her uncle didn't believe her, Su Xiaojiu emphasized it again.
But a little baby said such strange and unbelievable words, which only increased Chen Zian's disbelief.
Seeing that Chen Zian still didn't believe it, Su Xiaojiu was very disappointed.
During dinner, Chen Zian asked Grandma Su why she didn't get any prey when she went up the mountain.
Grandma Su smiled very proudly: "That's because you didn't bring Xiao Tian with you!"
Chen Zian was surprised and couldn't help but look at Xiaotian and then at Xiaojiu.
Xiaotian had no reaction, while Xiaojiu looked at Chen Zian with a proud look on his face, his expression clearly saying: "Look, I'll just say it!"
"Auntie, is this really the case?"
"Of course that's the case. While Xiaotian and the others haven't come back yet, the older ones will go up the mountain. It will be good to get a pheasant back in three days."
Chen Zian now had to believe that this might be true.
So why is this?
Chen Zian thought about it for a long time, but couldn't think of a reason, so he simply gave up and took Su Xiaotian up the mountain to have a look tomorrow.
Early the next morning, Chen Zian went up the mountain with the Su family's children, big and small. Of course, the child Chen Xiuyuan was left behind.
When the child Chen Xiuyuan found out that none of his brothers and sisters were there, he started to make a fuss.
While Su Manxiu was coaxing him, Liu Xiuying came, followed by two and a half young men. They were none other than her two grandsons, Jinwa and Yinba.
These two boys are not much different from a few years ago. They both look dirty and unkempt.
"Hey, this is Manxiu's baby, isn't it? Let Second Grandma take a look!"
Liu Xiuying said, stepping forward to hug Chen Xiuyuan.
But Chen Xiuyuan, a little kid, immediately turned his head and ignored Liu Xiuying at all, which was a shame for Liu Xiuying.
Su Manxiu didn't want to pay attention to Liu Xiuying, but the other party was an elder, and she was an adult. She couldn't treat others like the brat in her arms.
"Second mother, why are you here?"
"Aren't you bringing the golden baby and the silver baby here to see your aunt and the little baby? They are all relatives, so it's better to be close to them since they were young!"
After hearing Liu Xiuying's shameless words, Grandma Su snorted and said, "You can't do it. We live in the same brigade on weekdays, and I haven't seen your family getting close to ours."
It’s fine if you’re not an enemy, but if you’re still close, who do you think is a fool?
Su Manxiu knew that the relationship between the two families had never been good, but it was just about saving face.
Therefore, he didn't speak anymore.
Fortunately, Liu Xiuying is someone who never gives up to achieve her goals. Even if no one cares about her, she doesn't care at all.
"Jinba Yinba, what are you two doing? Didn't you say you came to play with your little brother?"
While talking, Liu Xiuying also gave her two grandsons a push.
However, these two children are obviously not on Chen Xiuyuan's mind.
Little kid Chen Xiuyuan didn't want to play with these two kids, he just didn't want to take a look at them.
As soon as the two people came close to him, he burst into tears.
In the end, Liu Xiuying could only leave with her two grandchildren.
He just cursed when he went out, saying that the Chen family had high standards and looked down on their country folk.
But Grandma Su didn't take it to heart, and Liu Xiuying had always been a gossip, so when others heard it, they didn't take it seriously.
This night, when Chen Zian went down the mountain, he brought a lot of prey with him.
But while he was carrying the prey away, he couldn't help but look at Su Xiaotian.
What Xiao Jiu said was true. On the mountain where not even a pheasant feather could be seen yesterday, so many wild animals appeared inexplicably today. He even hunted two of the wild sheep that he had been longing for.
It was also at this time that Su Shouwen said that every time they went to the mountains to hunt, they would take Su Xiaotian with them.
He also said that if you don’t take Su Xiaotian with you, nine times out of ten you will lose everything, and even if you gain something in the remaining one, it won’t be much.
Chen Zian finally figured out why Xiaojiu looked at him with such a strange expression.
This brat might be just waiting to see his joke.
Chen Zian took the children up the mountain for three days and brought home a lot of game.
If it weren't for the fact that the fourth day was New Year's Eve, Chen Zian would definitely have to go up the mountain.
When the old Su family went hunting, they had to guard against other people in the brigade, but Chen Zian just carried the sheep down the mountain openly, and no one in the brigade said he shouldn't do it.
In fact, even when the old Su family moved home with many prey, there was not even a sour word.
In the eyes of the people in the Red Heart Brigade, Chen Zian is an official. It is right for him to go hunting in the mountains. Moreover, the prey is so easy to hunt? In other words, he has the ability.
Grandma Su looked at the string of pheasants and rabbits, her eyes almost blinded with joy.
This year has been the fattest year I have ever had in my life.
There was so much meat that not only their family, but also Taohua's family and Chige could eat it all.
"Milk, milf, we counted, there are twenty-nine pheasants, twenty-three hares, four wild sheep, and one wild boar." Su Xiaoba jumped and shouted happily.
Su Laosan and Chen Zian quickly cleaned up all the prey.
Grandma Su and Grandpa Su discussed it. With such a large amount of meat, they couldn't just eat it at home. They had to share some with the people in the brigade.
Under Grandma Su's arrangement, brothers Su Xiaoba and Xiaojiu gave a leg of lamb to the captain's house and a leg of lamb to Li Zhuzhu's house.
For the remaining families, those with more people were given a fat rabbit, while those with fewer people were given a pheasant, or a piece of mutton or wild boar meat.
In short, as long as they are members of the Red Heart Team, every household will get some meat.
As for the rest, it belongs to your own family.
The members of the brigade were not unhappy when they got game for no reason and could add another dish to the New Year's Eve dinner. Some of the more discerning people would also give a bowl of peanuts and a handful of melon seeds as a return gift.
Only Liu Xiuying was very dissatisfied and thought that the old Su family should give her more.
Since the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month, the old Su family has lived a life of eating meat every day.
I have to say that eating meat is a happy day, and eating meat during the Chinese New Year is even happier.
On the afternoon of New Year's Eve, an uninvited guest suddenly came to the brigade.
