On the day Lu Lu and others entered the mountain, Chen Xiuyu went to find Pu Guiying, who had been thinking about living in Mukoleng every day. It was always better to have someone to accompany her.
Regarding this matter, Lu Lu once thought of bringing Aunt Duan to live in Caodianzi. This way, it would be easier to take care of her, and Aunt Duan could take care of Chen Xiuyu when Lu Lu had to go out.
As someone who has experienced Chen Xiuyu and is pregnant with a child, Aunt Duan will have more experience in dealing with any abnormal situation.
This is something Lu Lu has been thinking about, but he hasn't had time to tell Aunt Duan yet.
The key is that Aunt Duan still keeps a lot of stupid chickens and geese at home, as well as two piglets that need to be managed, and her house cannot be left idle for a long time.
If the house is left idle for a long time, it will lose its popularity and become easily dilapidated. After all, it is her home and the place she has always stood by.
Lu Lu was worried that she would not be willing.
I just want to wait for Chen Xiuyu's belly to grow bigger before inviting her. If she is unwilling, then she can only consider Ma Jinlan.
At this time, Chen Xiuyu was embroidering flowers on the big Kang in the wooden rim, and was giving Pu Guiying instructions on how to grill fish.
Hearing the shouts outside, before Chen Xiuyu could react, Pu Guiying had already jumped onto the big bed, leaned against the window and looked outside. When she saw Jiang Mingfeng shouting outside the fence, she whispered to Chen Xiuyu: "
It’s Jiang Mingfeng, why is she here?”
Upon hearing this name, Chen Xiuyu frowned slightly.
She immediately thought of the animal skin book.
It seems that Jiang Mingfeng is determined to write the animal skin book.
Things will come as they should come.
Since people are already at the door of your house, it makes no sense not to let them in. This is not the way to treat guests.
"I want to see what she wants to do!"
Chen Xiuyu murmured in a low voice, then turned to look at Pu Guiying: "Yingzi, go help open the door!"
"Hello!"
Pu Guiying quickly jumped off the kang, put on her shoes again, and went outside to bring Jiang Mingfeng in.
After Jiang Mingfeng entered the house, Chen Xiuyu put down her needlework and gently got off the kang: "Sister Feng, why are you here? Come on, sit on the kang!"
"Didn't I hear that you are pregnant? Although we are more than ten years apart in age, we have played together and are considered sisters. I am going back to my parents' house to visit. I heard from my dad that you have taken good care of my dad.
, I just thought that I should come and see you..."
Jiang Mingfeng was all smiles.
"Sister Feng is really considerate. I just came to see my uncle a few days ago, and now I'm here again. She runs very diligently. I'm so lucky to have a daughter like you!"
Chen Xiuyu smiled faintly, turned around and said to Pu Guiying: "Yingzi, there is honey in the kitchen cabinet. Make a cup of honey water for Sister Feng. You can make a cup if you want to drink it yourself. Just use warm water, but it can't be too hot!"
Pu Guiying nodded, turned over the fish grilled on the brazier, and walked to the kitchen in a familiar manner.
Jiang Mingfeng placed the stove fruits and cans he brought on the kang table and said with a smile: "There's nothing good, so I simply brought you some stove fruits and two cans."
"Why do you spend so much money to bring so many things when you come here once so rarely? I don't lack these things at home, so I'd better take them back for the children to eat. Look, the things on the kangqin have been left out for a while.
My brother won’t even let me eat, saying that eating too much will make me gain weight.”
There was some rejection in Chen Xiuyu's words, but they were actually the truth.
Lu Lu did ask her to eat less, but he did buy more rare fruits.
"Just a little care..."
Jiang Mingfeng forced a smile and did not take off her shoes to get on the kang. She just slumped down and sat on the edge of the kang. Then she turned her head and looked at the wood carvings: "This big house is really beautiful. It cost a lot of money, right?
"
"It cost a lot. I don't know the exact details. Brother Lu worked hard to make money to build it all by himself. I just followed him to enjoy the blessings."
Chen Xiuyu glanced at Jiang Mingfeng, sat on the kang again, and picked up the needle and thread again.
At this time, Pu Guiying came back with three cans and bottles and placed them on the kang table: "Sister Feng, this honey water is not hot, drink it while it's hot. It won't taste good when it's cold!"
As she spoke, she handed a bottle to Jiang Mingfeng, put one in front of Chen Xiuyu, and held the bottle up. Gululu drank half of it, and then her nose twitched: "Ah, this fish is mushy!"
As she spoke, she anxiously looked over the two grilled teeth.
Jiang Mingfeng glanced at the grilled fish, took a sip of the honey water, the aroma of the nectar and the sweet and moist feeling made her take a good look at the water in the can, and then took a few more sips before asking
Said: "Eldest brother is not at home?"
"He and Brother Feng went into the mountains to hunt. When they were leaving, they told me that if the weather was good, they would stay in the mountains for a few more days and they would not come back until about ten days." Chen Xiuyu answered all questions.
"Then you won't be afraid if you live alone in this meadow?" Jiang Mingfeng asked again.
"Then there's nothing to be afraid of. Yingzi is here to accompany me. Besides..."
Chen Xiuyu put down her needlework, drank a glass of honey water, and then chirped at the lynx lying on a sack in the corner of the room.
When the three lynx heard the sound, they stood up one after another, stretched exaggeratedly, and then walked slowly to the edge of the kang.
Chen Xiuyu reached out and rubbed the head of the lynx she called the big cat. The big cat also closed its eyes in cooperation, rubbed its head against Chen Xiuyu's palm, and purred, looking like it was enjoying itself.
"With these three lynxes here, who dares to mess around? It would be weird if they don't get bitten until they cry for father and mother! Besides, Brother Lu taught me how to use a gun, just to protect myself!" Chen Xiuyu looked arrogant.
said.
Hearing Chen Xiuyu say that three lynxes can bite people, Jiang Mingfeng involuntarily moved her buttocks to get further away from the three lynxes. She looked at the three chubby lynxes warily, especially when they were yawning.
The exposed slender fangs, coupled with the lines on his body and the straight black hair on the tips of his ears, gave him a fierce and strange feeling, and he began to feel inexplicably scared.
When Chen Xiuyu said she knew how to use a gun, her expression became even more strange. She could only sneer: "You know how to use a gun?"
This time, before Chen Xiuyu could speak, Pu Guiying, who was looking at the grilled fish, interrupted: "Sister Xiuyu is not only good at using a gun, but her marksmanship is also very accurate. I heard from my brother-in-law that sister Xiuyu's marksmanship is better than Brother Qing's for hunting.
No problem."
"Hunting is one thing, don't dare use it to beat people!" Jiang Mingfeng's face became a little ugly.
"Whenever you encounter someone who causes trouble, you should hit him as long as you deserve it. You can't let yourself suffer! This is what my brother-in-law told Sister Xiuyu."
Pu Guiying said with a smile: "Sister Xiuyu has beaten wolves and tied up blind bears. There are only a few villages near us, and even few men are as courageous as her. Anyway, I believe that anyone dares to offend Yu."
Sister, she dares to fight, and besides, there is also a brother-in-law."
After listening to Pu Guiying's words, Jiang Mingfeng's expression changed slightly, and she forced a smile: "Xiuyu, you are so awesome!"
"We can't stand up if we don't stand up. This person is too weak and can easily be bullied. Look at how many of our family members have looked at us over the years in the village... Hey, Sister Feng, are you feeling unwell?
You don’t look good!”
Chen Xiuyu looked at Jiang Mingfeng and asked with concern.
"Uh... I feel a little uncomfortable!"
After all, Jiang Mingfeng couldn't sit still anymore and hurriedly stated her purpose: "Sister Xiuyu, actually I came here this time because I have something to do with you."
"What's the matter? Tell me!" Chen Xiuyu took another sip of honey water and asked with a smile.
"They are not outsiders, so let me tell you the truth...you know that the eldest brother got an animal skin book from my dad, right?" Jiang Mingfeng hesitated for a moment, then hesitated.
"I know! Brother Lu let me read the animal skin book, and he often told me that Uncle Jiang is his master who learned how to carry a stick, and he must be filial to him. That book is precious to Brother Lu, and even I don't give it to him easily.
Let’s touch!”
When the topic came, Chen Xiuyu's expression became serious: "What's wrong?"
"You see, my father is already seventy years old. He is just an old fool. He just gave away the family heirlooms in such a unclear manner. Those things are very valuable. I came here to get them back!"
Jiang Mingfeng emphasized: "That's a family heirloom. It's a big deal. My dad is confused, but our children can't be confused, right! Look, the eldest brother has also learned how to carry the mallet. It's time to return the things to us, right?
.”
Hearing this, Chen Xiuyu raised her eyebrows: "Sister Feng, I don't like hearing what you say. When did Uncle Jiang become confused? Besides, this animal skin book was promised by Brother Lu to escort Uncle Jiang."
Changbai Mountain was given to Brother Lu. Both you and Brother Minghao know this matter. Brother Feng and Uncle Wang have testified.
You said Uncle Jiang was confused. Could it be that you were also confused at that time?
I think it’s not that Uncle Jiang is confused, it’s that you have regretted it!
Let me put it bluntly, I have no control over this matter. If you want the animal skin book, Brother Lu will come back in ten days and I will ask him to wait at home. Then you can come to him and ask for it!
Isn’t it nonsense to go back on one’s word?”
Chen Xiuyu spoke more directly, and her meaning was clear, and she no longer gave Jiang Mingfeng a good look: "It sounds like we were robbed by clever tricks, but don't forget that it was Uncle Jiang who found it himself."
"Hey... Sister Xiuyu, why are you talking like this and why are you angry? I'm not saying that it's enough to get benefits. Look, if my father hadn't taught Lu Lu how to carry a stick, he would have so much money.
I built a big house, went out for a trip, and made thousands of dollars. This is a life of contentment... That animal skin book must be returned!"
Jiang Mingfeng also suddenly became serious: "We didn't know the value of animal skin books before, so we did stupid things. Now we have turned a corner, can't we go back? It's not worth a trip to Changbai Mountain.
Such a price!”
Pu Guiying picked up the two fish grilled on the brazier and wanted to pass one to Jiang Mingfeng. However, before she handed the things over, she heard the voices of Chen Xiuyu and Jiang Mingfeng suddenly getting louder, and she was a little confused.
Now that she heard what Jiang Mingfeng said, she couldn't help but interjected: "Sister Feng, are you mistaken? My brother-in-law led me to Changbai Mountain after the house was built. If you don't lift the stick, brother-in-law
You also have the ability to build a house!"
Hearing this, Jiang Mingfeng couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and rolled her eyes at Pu Guiying angrily: "We are talking about our two families' affairs, it is best not to interrupt."
Chen Xiuyu looked at Jiang Mingfeng's posture and shook her head: "Sister Feng, it's a bit unreasonable for you to say that. Many people in the village know about this! For the sake of Uncle Jiang, I won't argue with you today.
Again, if you want, after ten days, I will ask Brother Lu to wait at home. If you have nothing else to do, go back, and I won’t keep you at home for dinner."
"You...you don't want to send me away if you don't take out the animal skin book today!"
Jiang Mingfeng acted like a rogue directly.
"Sister Feng, I advise you to leave quickly. Sister Yu is pregnant with the child. If something happens, wait until my brother-in-law comes back and come to see him. If you continue to make trouble like this, if anything happens, you may not be able to eat and walk around.
!”
Pu Guiying naturally stood on Chen Xiuyu's side, and looked at Jiang Mingfeng's virtue and lost her face.
"Hey, you're scaring me!" Jiang Mingfeng glared at Pu Guiying in a blink of an eye: "Do you have the right to say anything?"
Chen Xiuyu looked at Jiang Mingfeng's face: "Take these things you brought and leave quickly. You are not welcome here!"
"Take out the animal skin book!" Jiang Mingfeng said tit for tat.
Chen Xiuyu stood up on the kang: "You can't understand people's words, can you? Get out!"
