After returning from Zhao Yongke's house, Lu Lu took out his semi-automatic and took good care of it, and spent the rest of the time packing up the hunting equipment.
When he got up the next morning, Lu Lu worked on one thing from morning to night, using a guillotine to chop the fodder and bagging it.
He wanted to prepare more before going into the mountains.
It was already late March, and Chen Xiuyu was already six months pregnant. Lu Lu, who was used to listening to the fetal heartbeat through Chen Xiuyu's belly, could already feel the fetal movement of the little one inside.
It was about to enter April, and it wouldn't be long before the rivers thawed, the blind bear also ended its hibernation, and it was time for the sables to go to higher mountains. He didn't want to miss the last opportunity to hunt sables and bears this year.
Next, things on the farm will be busy, so it’s time for Chen Xiuyu to stay and take care of her.
Seeing Lu Lu cutting fodder in the barn, Chen Xiuyu just silently carried a brazier and followed to help feed the corn stalks. She didn't say much, but Lu Lu could see the reluctance and worry written on Chen Xiuyu's face.
.
"Brother Liang is among the people we are going to this time. There is nothing to worry about with these people. Don't worry, they will be safe. After returning this time, I will not go into the mountains again until the baby is born and one month old.
I'll stay with you forever!" Lu Lu said softly.
After hearing this, Chen Xiuyu's expression softened.
Being pregnant with a child and staying at home alone makes Chen Xiuyu, who is inexperienced, always feel a little uneasy.
It is said that a pregnant woman makes her stupid for three years, but Lu Lu didn't notice it at all in her. Chen Xiuyu was extremely sensitive.
Things were busy until about three o'clock in the afternoon, when Lu Lu rode Zhui Feng and went to Chen Xiuqing's house.
When he arrived outside the yard, Lu Lu saw that Chen Xiuqing had already laid out the hunting gear and other things that needed to be prepared on the sledge. He also built a fire in the yard and followed Lu Lu's example.
, got some pork belly and roasted it on the fire, and laid a sack next to it, with a semi-automatic machine that he disassembled, wiped and maintained.
Seeing that the courtyard was open, Lu Lu reached the door, jumped off his horse and walked inside.
"Brother Lu, I'm ready!"
Chen Xiuqing skillfully assembled the semi-automatic parts and took a look at them.
"As long as it's ready... Is mom home?" Lu Lu sat by the fire, took off his roe deer leather gloves, and roasted them on the fire. He looked at the barbecue and found that two skewers were almost cooked.
He politely picked up both skewers and asked while eating.
"Not at home!" Chen Xiuqing loaded the gun with bullets and inserted it into the holster.
Lu Lu was slightly startled: "Where have you gone?"
"Went to visit Mrs. Duan's house!" Chen Xiuqing said with a smile.
This was an answer that surprised Lu Lu. Ma Jinlan had never visited Aunt Duan's house before. She preferred to go to the two or three families who could give her "advice" at any time.
"Since the matchmaker Zhu Chunmei's house that we often go to, they have gone their separate ways since the fight. The other two families have never been there again! I don't trust other people's houses, but I am quite happy for them to go to Aunt Duan's house often.
Let’s chat together.”
Chen Xiuqing also picked up a skewer of barbecued meat that was almost cooked, put it in her mouth, and all three slices of pork belly on the skewer went into her mouth at once.
Regarding what Chen Xiuqing said, Lu Lu quite agreed.
With Aunt Duan's profound understanding of justice, she was able to influence Ma Jinlan very well.
Lu Lu finished two skewers of barbecue and stood up: "I'm going to Duan's house. We are going to the mountains this time. I want my mother to live with Xiuyu for a while, and my godmother. Xiuyu is pregnant.
, there are a lot of things that are inconvenient to do, so the two of them went over to help take care of them, so I felt more at ease."
After Lu Lu finished speaking, he took Zhui Feng and left.
"Brother Lu, let's eat some barbecue before we leave!" Chen Xiuqing shouted from behind.
Lu Lu waved his hand without looking back: "Eat slowly, there is nothing except spicy and salty taste, it is not delicious!"
"Those spices are so expensive, but I can't bear to waste them like this!" Chen Xiuqing muttered in a low voice, and ignored Lu Lu, picking up a skewer of barbecue and putting it into her mouth again, as if she was not afraid of being burned.
Lu Lu went straight to Duan's house.
Those two geese have raised a family.
Lu Lu was still several meters away from the fence of Mrs. Duan's yard, so he kept quacking. When Lu Lu arrived at the gate of the yard, two big geese were waiting at the gate of the yard with their necks stretched straight out.
Lu Lu had no doubt that as long as he opened the courtyard door, these two guys would definitely dare to pinch his calf with their mouths.
Even though it’s a bird, it looks fierce.
If it is screwed on, there will inevitably be an extra bruise.
Lu Lu had been fooled by this thing once. When he was on the farm, other employees' animals were left open to search for food when they were left open. When Lu Lu was passing by the gate of his courtyard, he was blocked by it and was frightened.
After stepping aside, he was attacked by a big goose from behind, and his calf was bruised and bruised, which took several days to dissipate.
Lu Lu just teased it to go a little further, and then when the goose tried to peck at it again, he grabbed it by the neck and carried it into the forest.
That night, Lu Lu stewed the goose in an iron pot, which was very delicious.
Anyway, there is no shortage of wild geese on the island. They are the ancestors of geese, so there is always an excuse.
Geese were domesticated by humans thousands of years ago. In breeding, geese are often hybridized with wild geese to improve their species and become wild geese. This makes the new breed less migratory and more geese.
The habit of protecting the home makes breeding convenient.
However, although Lu Lu also planned to raise wild geese, he did not want to use this method to improve them. Although such a change could increase the egg production rate, the meat quality and price have also been greatly reduced.
Hearing the scream of the big goose, Aunt Duan quickly opened the door and came out of the house. When she saw it was Lu Lu, she immediately smiled with a smile on her face: "Godson, come in quickly!"
"Godmother, is my mother still at home?" Lu Lu asked.
"Here, we can't do anything, so we just chat together and do some needlework." Aunt Duan said with a smile.
Lu Lu followed him into the house and saw that the two of them were sewing children's clothes, which were all made of floral cotton.
Needless to say, Lu Lu also knew that this was something he was preparing for after his child was born.
"Look, it's for your child!" Aunt Duan smiled and picked up the small clothes on the kang and showed them in front of Lu Lu.
Lu Lu took it and looked at it: "Beautiful... By the way, mom, godmother, I came here today to discuss something with you."
"What's going on?" Ma Jinlan asked quickly.
"Aren't I going to take Qingzi and the others on a trip to the mountains? This time the trip will be longer, about twenty days. The baby in Xiuyu's belly is getting bigger day by day, and he is starting to do things.
It's not very convenient, and she doesn't feel at ease at home alone. I would like to invite you to live with Xiuyu in my house and help take care of her. I also need to trouble you about Caodianzi!"
Lu Lu said with a smile.
"It's not about asking or not, it's the right thing to do. The two of us couldn't do anything at home all day, so we went over to accompany her, so Xiuyu's mother should take care of her. The child is getting married.
, you did not participate, and you should make up for it at this time."
Aunt Duan said cheerfully.
When Aunt Duan mentioned this, Ma Jinlan couldn't help but blush.
Seeing her like this, Aunt Duan ignored her and said directly: "Jinlan, don't think I'm ugly. If we do something wrong, we have to admit it. If it's wrong, it's wrong. You don't know
, which child doesn’t want to get his mother’s blessing when he gets married? You missed this opportunity, but you can’t lag behind when the child is born. If I were you, I would have gone to take care of you.
There are many things that children don’t understand, and they need to be taught a lesson, but Xiuyu can’t let Xiuyu have any more regrets. Besides, haven’t you all reconciled now? We’ll go there tonight. I’ll be with you.”
This call was exactly what Lu Lu wanted to say.
Chen Xiuyu didn't say anything, but she only said a few words on weekdays. It could be heard that in her heart she was really looking forward to Ma Jinlan coming to accompany her.
Whether it is getting married or having children, it is a major event in life.
After hearing these words, Ma Jinlan nodded: "I originally thought that we would be there in a few days."
"Don't wait a few days. We will leave very early tomorrow morning. You can come with me tonight!"
Lu Lu thought for a while: "As for these pigs and chickens... I'll find someone to help you take care of them, so that you don't have to run back and forth."
"That's not necessary. The village is only five or six miles away from your home, and it's not that far away. Just take the time to come here every morning and evening... You don't have to worry about it!"
Aunt Duan looked at Ma Jinlan with a smile: "Take care of the house, I'll feed the chickens and pigs, and I'll leave now! You don't need to take care of your family. You have Qingzi, and he will take care of it tonight."
"good!"
Ma Jinlan said and began to collect the needlework and fabrics on the kang.
After Aunt Duan finished her work, the three of them chatted together and headed to Lu Lu's meadow.
Seeing that Lu Lu had summoned Aunt Duan and Ma Jinlan, Chen Xiuyu couldn't help but feel happy.
The couple helped prepare a good meal. After eating together, it was already dark.
Lu Lu returned to the bedroom, brought bedding for the two of them, and arranged for them to stay.
After a good night's sleep, the next morning, Zhang Shaofeng, Zhao Yongke, and Chen Xiuqing gathered in Lu Lu's meadow, each driving a sledge, and then headed to Huilongtun, where they met Liang Kangbo and headed for Pingding Mountain along the road.
This time, we plan to spend the first night in Nancha District, then pass through Daqing Mountain and enter the mountain directly on the second day, and then walk towards Pingding Mountain.
There are roads connecting this road, making walking very convenient. Just as Lu Lu expected, after two days, they passed Daqing Mountain early and went deep into the mountain. In the evening, a few people chose to take a ride by an unknown river in the mountain.
The tents were set up, but unexpectedly, before the horses were unloaded, Yuan Bao started to bark first.
Immediately afterwards, a red deer flew out of the snow in the forest. Suddenly seeing someone below, it turned around and ran back up the hillside. There seemed to be something hanging around its neck.
"What is that?" Zhang Shaofeng asked in surprise.
"Wolverine!" Lu Lu responded, raised his gun and chased the red deer in the direction of its escape.
