The bear bile and skins were sold, and with money in hand, Xu Shiyan thought of taking Su Anying back to the camp.
Taking advantage of the fact that Su Anying is not yet the first month of the year, she can go back to her parents' house without delay before going out.
After two months, even if Su Anying wanted to go back, Xu Shiyan would not dare to take her out.
Since returning home, Su Anying has not been back to her parents' home, so of course she misses her.
So when Xu Shiyan mentioned it, Su Anying happily went to pack her things.
On the morning of the third day of the twelfth lunar month, the young couple carried a lot of things and took the train back to the camp.
It was winter, and it was impossible for the couple to get up so early. Fortunately, there was a slow train passing through Jewelry Gang at around 10 a.m., so they took this train and arrived at the camp at around 11 a.m.
Everyone in the Su family never expected that Su Anying and his wife would come back at this time. When they saw the young couple coming in, Su Weizhong was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth.
"Oh my god, why didn't you two tell me in advance so that I could send my boss to pick you up at the station?
It's so tiring to walk all the way back." Su Weizhong looked at his daughter's bulky figure with distressed eyes.
"Quickly, the fifth child will help your sister sit on the kang, while the sixth child will boil water and make tea for your brother-in-law."
Mrs. Han was very happy to see her daughter and son-in-law coming back, and hurriedly asked the girls to boil water and make tea for them.
"Come, sit on the kang. It's hot. How many months have you been here?
I just heard people say that you are pregnant. Alas, I have been so busy this autumn that I didn’t find time to see you."
Mrs. Han took Su Anying's hand and looked up and down. When she saw Su Anying's bulging belly, she nodded with a smile on her face.
"Well, it's been six months." It was exactly half a year since Su Anying married into the Xu family. She got pregnant as soon as she entered the house, so she said it was six months.
In fact, a woman's pregnancy time is not calculated according to the natural month.
"Autumn is busy. Shiyan and I spent the autumn and winter in the mountains looking at ginseng, and we didn't have time to come back.
It just so happened that we entered the twelfth lunar month and the land was covered with heavy snow. We went down the mountain and quickly came back to see our home."
Regardless of whether she is her biological mother or not, Su Anying is always happy when she returns to her parents' home and her relatives are so warm and kind.
"Shi Yan, quickly take out the things we brought back.
Dad and Mom, we came back in a hurry and didn’t buy anything. These are wild boars and other things that Shi Yan hunted in the mountains. Let’s keep them at home.”
When he came back this time, Xu Shiyan originally said he wanted to buy something, but Su Anying didn't let him.
Those canned goods, snacks, etc. are quite expensive and not at all practical.
Even after I bought it, my parents might not be willing to eat it, and in the end they kept it to visit relatives.
Why not bring some meat back so that the whole family can quench their cravings? What a benefit.
So the couple came back with half a basket full of meat, but other than that they didn't buy anything else.
Sure enough, when I heard that it was wild boar meat, roe deer meat or something like that, the old man's eyes suddenly widened.
"Second brother-in-law, you are so awesome, how can you still hunt?"
The little girl came forward with great admiration, stretched her neck and looked into the basket on her back, wondering how much meat there was and whether it could be eaten to satisfy her craving.
As a result, Mr. Han slapped him aside and said, "Go, go, don't get in the way here. I asked you to boil water for tea. Are you done?"
Mrs. Han felt that her daughter's greedy look was so embarrassing. She glared at her several times angrily and ordered her to go to work.
Lao Liu curled his lips and reluctantly went to the outhouse to watch the water boil.
"I saw it just now. The second sister and the second brother-in-law have prepared half a basket of meat. There must be something for us to eat. Don't worry."
Lao Wu also came out of the back room and squatted in front of the stove to comfort the younger sister.
"Think about it, the second sister and the second brother-in-law can stay here for two days when they come back. Our mother has to prepare some delicious entertainment, right? Shouldn't we just follow suit?"
There is no child these days who is not greedy.
If there are boys in other families, they can go up a tree to catch a bird or go down to the river to catch a fish or something to satisfy their cravings.
The Su family are all girls, and they can only catch a few crickets at most. Except for killing pigs at home, they rarely see fishy meat all year round. How can you not be greedy?
Upon hearing what the fifth sister said, the sixth child immediately became happy and couldn't help but sigh, "It would be better for the second sister to come back."
Not to mention the mumblings of the two little sisters in the outer room, but in the east room, Xu Shiyan poured out all kinds of meat from the basket on his back.
A whole loin of a wild boar, a hind leg of a black blind man, a lump of roe deer meat, two hares and two pheasants were placed on the table.
Su Weizhong and his wife were dumbfounded, "Shiyan, you did all this on the mountain? Oh my God, how much did you do?"
"It's not bad, anyway, I have been busy all winter, either hunting wild boars or killing Heixiazicang.
We couldn't afford it, so we brought some for home." Xu Shiyan smiled and said very modestly.
"Isn't Uncle Li, the ginseng examiner in our team, sick? No one was ginseng examiner. The secretary found me and asked me to go up to the mountain and take care of it temporarily.
There's nothing much to do in this winter, except hunting." Xu Shiyan briefly explained the cause and effect.
The news about the loss of ginseng from the Big House Brigade had already spread throughout the surrounding communes and production teams, and Su Weizhong had naturally heard of it.
"Oh, that's what happened. By the way, has the case been solved? Have you caught the thief who stole the mallet?"
Everyone has a tendency to gossip, and Su Weizhong is no exception.
Xu Shiyan shook his head, "No, there has been no news. It seems that the other party is a veteran.
There are no loopholes left, and there is still a way to sell the stolen goods, so it is probably very difficult to catch."
Garden ginseng is different from wild ginseng. It is a material purchased and sold by the state. It is not easy to sell it for takeout, and the police will definitely keep an eye on relevant channels.
So Xu Shiyan is quite surprised that the thieves have not been arrested so far. Their methods of selling stolen goods are too powerful, right?
"If you don't catch the thief, you have to be careful in the future. If you don't keep it safe, they will keep an eye on you." Su Weizhong warned worriedly.
"Well, I'll be careful." Xu Shiyan nodded in agreement without saying much.
It was rare for his daughter and uncle to come home and bring so much food. Su Weizhong was very happy and quickly sent his daughter to go next door to call Su Weicheng's family to talk to Xu Shiyan.
Mrs. Han looked at the time and quickly went to the kitchen to make preparations.
When my daughter and uncle come back, they have to prepare a table of delicious food. Don’t they have to spend time preparing it?
It happened that Su Weicheng and his wife also brought their son and daughter over. The grandmother and mother-in-law looked at what they had at home and what Xu Shiyan had brought. After thinking about it, they settled on the eight dishes.
The sisters-in-law and several girls were busy working in the kitchen. In the room, brothers Su Weizhong, Su Weicheng, and brothers Su Anbang and Su Anmin were chatting with Xu Shiyan.
The fact that Xu Shiyan Fangshan got Bangchui had already spread throughout the surrounding communes and production teams. Even Su Weizhong and others in the camp had heard about it.
Su Weizhong knew that his son-in-law was lucky enough to get a big harvest from the mountains, and he also knew that his son-in-law could still hunt. He felt so happy.
In front of his brother and nephew, he praised his son-in-law so much that he even made a flower.
"It's not as powerful as Dad said, I just have better luck.
Everyone has said that she is Yingzi Wangfu, and once she gets married, all good things will happen to her."
Xu Shiyan's face heated up after being praised by his father-in-law, and he pushed all the praise on his daughter-in-law.
