Early the next morning, Cree Yaqian brought the rabbit to Wang Qiaoping.
That rabbit is really fat, weighing seven or eight kilograms.
Lu Yongsheng, who had just woken up, saw such a big rabbit when he arrived at the main room and thought it was because he was having trouble.
"Hare!" he cried out after being stunned for a moment.
"Where did it come from?"
"Sister-in-law, did you hit me?"
"Sister-in-law, you actually know how to hunt hares!"
It's not surprising that Lu Yongsheng was surprised. You must know that he often went into the mountains to hunt with the villagers, but he could only hunt sparrows, turtle doves, etc., but he never caught a rabbit.
"Sister-in-law, how did you get hit?"
Lu Yongsheng heard that the rabbit ran so fast that it was impossible to catch it. Some people would make traps and wait for the rabbit to take the bait, and they would catch it accurately.
However, Lu Yongsheng asked questions one after another, but Que Yaqian looked hesitant.
"What are you doing standing still? Why don't you go to school?"
At this moment, Wang Qiaoping roared, causing Lu Yongsheng to tremble all over.
For a moment, Lu Yongsheng's mind went blank, and all that was left in his mind was: "Go to school, go to school..."
He rushed out, turned around, grabbed two corns from the stove, and rushed outside.
Going to school these days is mostly difficult. He has to get up before dawn every day and drive several miles with an oil lamp, so Lu Yongsheng is in a hurry every morning.
After Lu Yongsheng left, Wang Qiaoping hurriedly caught up and closed the door.
When she turned her head, she looked at Cree Yaqian with a more nervous expression.
"Yaqian, tell mom honestly, how did you get this rabbit?"
"Mom, I..."
"Is it An An?"
Just when Wei Yaqian didn't know how to speak, Wang Qiaoping explained her suspicions in one sentence.
Que Yaqian's heart skipped a beat.
"Mom, have you noticed it too?" she said
"I always thought this idea was ridiculous, and I didn't dare to think about it. But last night, as soon as I went out, I saw a hare standing there. The last time the pheasant was a coincidence, but, this..."
"I know." Wang Qiaoping nodded.
"I had guessed what happened to Feng Dabao last time.
Think about it, you are usually fine, but why on the morning of Feng Dabao's accident, An An suddenly started crying and fussing, must your fourth uncle not go out?
Later I thought about it, the fourth boy is so naughty and always rushes to the front of everything. If he had gone up the mountain that day, he would definitely be the one who got into trouble."
Wang Qiaoping expressed her guess.
Cree Yaqian only felt her heart beating "thumping" and "thumping".
"Mom, what should we do?"
Que Yaqian asked Wang Qiaoping, as if she had grasped a life-saving straw.
She knew that her mother-in-law always had great ideas.
People in the village said that Wang Qiaoping was a shrew, strong and fierce, but Que Yaqian felt that her mother-in-law was decisive and able to stabilize the overall situation, so she was the treasure of the family.
"What do you mean?"
Wang Qiaoping said: "I only know that An'an is my granddaughter and the darling of our family. What does the rest have to do with me?"
When Que Yaqian heard this, her eyes filled with tears.
"Yes, yes, An An is An An, she is my daughter, no matter what, she is my daughter."
When Wang Qiaoping saw her daughter-in-law like this, she stepped forward and patted her on the shoulder.
"Yaqian, don't worry too much.
You see, An An came to our house for half a year, and there were both pheasants and hares, and all the disasters in the family were turned into good fortunes.
What does this mean?
This shows that it is a blessing rather than a curse. An An is a lucky baby.
Didn't Mom say it before? The older generation said that blessed children bring their own jobs, maybe this is true? "
After hearing what Wang Qiaoping said, Wei Yaqian felt a little calmer.
"Mom, you are right. I gave birth to a difficult childbirth. Everyone thought that we, mother and daughter, would not survive. But in the end, we, mother and daughter, were safe.
Didn’t everyone say that if you survive a catastrophe, you will be blessed later."
"Yes, it is our family's blessing that An An can come to our house, and it is a reward for the good deeds we have done.
It's just that the two of us need to know about this matter, but we must never tell anyone else, not even other people in the family."
Cree Yaqian nodded solemnly.
In fact, how could she go out and say it?
None of them knew what impact this matter would have if word got out.
She is An An's mother, and her only hope is that An An will grow up safely and healthily.
How dare she put her child in even the slightest danger?
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have agreed to keep this secret from now on.
In fact, at this moment, An An, who was lying in bed, had already woken up. She silently listened to the conversation between her grandma and her mother.
She breathed a big sigh of relief
In fact, she had a dream some time ago, in which she saw an old man with a white beard.
The old grandfather said that he is in charge of children in heaven, and his responsibility is to ensure that every child safely enters his mother's belly and can be happy.
But one time he did it backwards while dozing off.
She was sent to her previous mother's belly, but the child who shouldn't have been born was placed in her current mother's belly, which is why she suffered so much.
In order to make up for it, the grandfather promised that she would be free from illness and disaster throughout her life, and that her dreams would come true and she would grow up healthy and happy.
When she saw the hare, she also knew that what the old man with the white beard probably said was true.
But she was worried.
She couldn't tell her mother and grandmother the whole thing because she was afraid they would think of her as a monster.
Unexpectedly, her mother and grandmother said that she was their baby no matter what, and decided to keep her secret.
Only then did her hanging heart finally fall to the ground.
Mom and grandma are so nice.
It feels so good to have family...
**
All those who worked and studied outside at night came back.
Wang Qiaoping killed the rabbit and gave it to the whole family as a tooth sacrifice.
Because she knew that An An might be a lucky baby, there would most likely be a lot of pheasants and hares like this in the future, so there would be no need to scrimp on eating. Wang Qiaoping was rarely generous.
A rabbit is cut into two parts, half braised and half stewed.
The portion of stew soup was actually specially made for An An.
Debone the rabbit meat, pound it with the back of a knife until it becomes soft, coat it with starch, and stew it in a pot until the rabbit meat is soft and crumbly, melting in your mouth.
An An felt like she had opened the door to a new world after taking one bite.
This is very different from the half bowl of cold rabbit soup I had in my last life.
Her eyes widened, she drank a mouthful of soup, and wanted to take another mouthful, so she opened her mouth and made a "ha" sound.
This little appearance made the whole family laugh.
After finishing the entire bowl of soup, she burped with satisfaction.
"Hiccup~~"
The happiest thing in this life is to be full.
I really hope that I can eat delicious food every day in the future...
After An An was full, the whole family started eating spicy rabbit meat.
Wang Qiaoping was very willing to put in the spicy food. She fried it in hot oil until golden. She kept adding the seasonings Lu Yongchang bought last time when he went to the city, including chili peppers, peppercorns, star anise, and fragrant leaves.
As soon as you enter your mouth, it feels spicy and tender.
Everyone in the Lu family was red-faced and happy with the meal.
After eating, Lu Wenqi drank two more glasses of wine.
But while the whole family was eating happily, Lu Yong's family looked miserable.
Such a delicious rabbit tasted like nothing in his mouth. He took a few mouthfuls of rice and put down his chopsticks.
"I'm full and I'm going back to the house to rest."
