Chapter 10792
“Sister, Shengnan is doing well this year. He took time out from his busy schedule to learn a lot of hunting skills.”
Handed a kitchen knife and sent Xiang Shengnan to the stove. They were picking up wild game in the ditch beside the house. In the kitchen, Xiaoduo turned around and started talking to Yang Ruoqing about their affairs.
“Hunting rabbits, spearing fish, chopping firewood, picking all kinds of wild fruits, and digging cicada monkeys for the children in the summer...”
“He did it all by himself. It looked good, so I asked him, "You are so busy, why don't you have some free time to sit down and take a rest? Our family doesn't lack that kind of food!"
"Sister, guess what did Shengnan say?"
"What did he say?" Yang Ruoqing came back to her senses and asked with a smile.
She was distracted just now because she saw the tools used to trap rabbits, sharpened bamboo pieces, and wire snares, which reminded her of Luo Fengtang, the young hunter back then...
"Sister, take a guess and see if you can guess what Shengnan said." Xiaoduo said again.
Yang Ruoqing thought for a moment, "You said before that there is no shortage of food at home. If that's the case, does Shengnan do all that just to please the children?"
Xiaoduo said: "Sister, you are so amazing, you guessed it right right away."
"However, this is only 70% of the reason, there is still the remaining 30%! Guess again!"
“Haha, of the remaining 30%, 20% is for learning one more craft. After all, having too many skills is not a burden.”
"The last 10% should be hobbies. After all, hunting and fishing are irresistible temptations for most men."
Many men make a bowl of tea, a stool, and a With a fishing rod and a sunhat, you can fish from day to night, or even all night...
Xiaoduo was so shocked that her mouth opened so wide that she could fit a goose egg in.
"Sister, your guess is really accurate, not a word is wrong! Awesome!"
Xiao Duo wiped her hands on her apron and raised her eyebrows to Yang Ruoqing. thumb.
Yang Ruoqing smiled, "What's so awesome about this? It's human nature."
The main reason is because there are many men in the family, from Yang Huazhong to Luo Blacksmith, from his two younger brothers to Luo Fengtang, Finally, some sons...
Young, middle-aged, young and old, Yang Ruoqing has all the interests and hobbies of men at all stages under their control.
“Sister, we sisters don’t hide what we say,” Xiaoduo continued while wiping the stove lid and said, “No one can say whether we can survive on a grassland like ours for a lifetime.”
“It was because my uncle was in good health and had experience as a cattle dealer that he brought Katsuo into the Tao.”
“Recently In the past two years, my uncle's health has been getting worse, and the four of us are unable to help Shengnan. My father-in-law... I won't talk about him anymore, which is a disappointment."
"So the burden of our pasture falls on Shengnan. He is now in his twenties and can still handle it, but in about ten years, when he is over thirty, he will definitely not be able to do such a job. "
"When the time comes, the three girls will grow up one after another. With three waves of dowry and our pension, we can't just sit back and rest."
"So Katsuo said, take advantage of these ten If you have strength in the coming year, earn more money and save it, and start practicing fishing and game. At that time, I can exchange some money to supplement my family's income."
"It's a good thing that you can plan ahead in times of crisis."
Duo'er is in good health and is giving birth to a second child. The foundation was already damaged during pregnancy, and the possibility of getting pregnant again is very slim.
Even if you are pregnant, it is even more difficult to carry it to term and give birth smoothly.
Therefore, the couple should choose one of their three daughters to stay at home and recruit a son-in-law to support the Xiang family.
As for the burden of the pasture, it remains to be seen whether the daughter and son-in-law can take over the responsibility. But now is not the time to think about that. Times make people.
The two sisters talked for a while, during which Xiaoduo went to the hall next door to bring Yang Ruoqing a bowl of tea and grabbed two handfuls of melon seeds.
Yang Ruoqing went to the door of the kitchen and took a look, and saw several children running in the pasture in the distance, with a grass ring made of weeds on their heads.
The crisp laughter carries with the wind, and the child's world is always so carefree. Hearing these laughter, the emotions of adults can also be infected.
When Xiang Shengnan returned to the kitchen carrying the disemboweled hare and fish, Xiaoduo quickly came over to take over the ingredients.
"Okay, you go and have a rest, and leave all the rest to me!"
"Duo'er, let me stuff the firewood for you." Xiang Shengnan said.
Xiaoduo shook his head: "No, my sister is here, help me."
Xiang Shengnan glanced at Yang Ruoqing and said, "Sister, I am a guest."
Yang Ruoqing smiled and said, "Don't show anyone else. I'm helping Duo'er stop the fire secondly. The main thing is that we sisters have to talk."< br>
Xiaoduo nodded repeatedly: "You go out, you stay here, delaying our sisters' heart-to-heart talk!"
In this way, Xiang Shengnan was driven away.
Xiaoduo picked up the rabbit and weighed it, and was very satisfied with the amount.
"Sister, what should I do with the rabbit? Braised in braise? Or stir-fried dry?"
Yang Ruoqing thought for a while, "This rabbit is big, 40% braised in braised sauce without adding spicy, 60% dry stir-fried with rice and wine."
The braised one is suitable for five children, and the dry one is naturally suitable for adults.
Just this rabbit, to be honest, the meat of today’s meal is already in place.
What’s more, where are these crucian carp?
"Two pieces of crucian carp are braised in braise and two pieces are stewed in soup," Xiao Duowu was planning there. "In a while, make a soup as white as rice soup. Put a large piece of tofu, poached eggs, and oyster mushrooms in it for the children to drink. It’s a good way to raise people.”
“Haha, since my mother learned to grow oyster mushrooms, all my sisters have become apprentices. There is no shortage of oyster mushrooms in our house.”
“Sister, there are also soybean sprouts, mung bean sprouts and peanut sprouts, which are also our mother’s specialties.”
“ Yes, yes, we are of the same origin.”
The two sisters talked and laughed, slowly preparing the ingredients for noon.
There's really no rush, I came here right after breakfast today, and Xiaoduo and the others have just finished breakfast, and it's still early for lunch.
So the two sisters prepared all the ingredients, then left the kitchen and prepared to go to the main room to sit for a while.
It will be lunch time later, so I will just put in a few handfuls of firewood and have lunch.
When I arrived at the main room, I found that none of the people who had been smoking, drinking tea and eating melon seeds were not there!
Not only are they gone, but even the children who were playing hide and seek in the pasture are missing.
Yang Ruoqing was stunned and looked around, "What is going on? Where are the big ones and the small ones? Why don't you see any of them?"
Xiaoduo was also surprised, "We were talking in the kitchen earlier. I was so absorbed that I didn’t pay attention to the noise outside. What’s going on?”
Yang Ruoqing started to look in the room next to her. Although it was a clear day, she felt an inexplicable panic in her heart. !
