A car accident, our family of three crossed

After cheering, everyone went to pick up the two pheasants. No one knew much about Manager Zhou, but their inherent impression of Hang Shuheng was that he was a scholar. They never thought that he could shoot arrows so accurately.

"Shuheng, not bad." Zhou Huan was in good spirits. He patted Hang Shuheng's shoulder heavily and praised him.

Hang Shuheng replied modestly, "Not as good as you, uncle."

Zhou Huan laughed loudly upon hearing this, "That's right. When I was young, your uncle was also an expert at horseback riding and archery. I haven't touched these for many years, so my skills are not so good anymore."

After saying that, he glanced at Zhou Ting meaningfully. If he hadn't been so inexperienced, he should have caught the hare long ago, and this guy would have no chance of survival.

Zhou Ting curled his lips. He had stolen the limelight today, and his father would probably be dissatisfied with him for a while.

After that, they were on the outskirts and didn't encounter any prey anymore.

After resting for a long time on the outskirts and packing up to go down the mountain first, Uncle Chai and Zhou Yin came out of the mountain one after another, each carrying a prey on their shoulders.

The two men walked up to the crowd and threw the prey on their shoulders to the ground. Only then did everyone see clearly that it was a wild boar and a roe deer.

When the villagers saw the wild boar, they remembered that they had eaten it once before. The meat was so delicious that they still remember it to this day.

Now they have wild boar meat to eat, plus roe deer which they have never eaten before. Everyone is very motivated.

They found some vines to tie up the wild boar and roe deer, and got some sturdy wooden sticks to use as shoulder poles. They worked in groups of two, carrying the prey and went down the mountain in a lively manner.

Someone in the distance had already run back to report the news, and the people at the foot of the mountain started sharpening their knives without any delay and were ready.

After the prey was carried down the mountain, everyone cheered at the huge harvest and began to work in a hurry.

Before the bloody scene of disembowelment, Song Ning led the children to take a look. She looked at the lifeless roe deer and approached Hang Shuheng and asked, "Is this a deer?"

"This is a roe deer, which belongs to the deer family." Hang Shuheng explained it to her briefly.

Song Ning nodded in understanding, said "oh", and suddenly said seriously: "Is eating this punishable?"

Hang Shuheng seemed to understand what she meant by telepathy, and laughed, "Yes! Punishment, very punishing."

After they finished speaking, both of them started laughing. No one else knew what they were laughing at, only they themselves knew it.

The water had boiled and the fire had started. The two prey were about to be processed. Song Ning did not intend to stay and watch the bloody scene, so he left with the children.

She let the children find a place to play by themselves and went to help in the kitchen shed.

When the aunts working in the kitchen saw her coming to help, they joked, "Oh! Shuheng's wife, you are the boss's wife now, why are you still working here with us?"

"Yes! Get out, get out. We can handle it among ourselves. We don't need your help. Go and have a rest. Don't get in the way."

"Aunts, it's alright. I'm just sitting around doing nothing anyway..."

Song Ning insisted on staying to help, but the aunts would not let her do as she wished and several of them pushed her out.

She was helpless, feeling a little amused and helpless, but in the end she couldn't persuade the aunts and had to leave the kitchen shed.

At the workshop, the ceremony officially began after completing a series of processes including offering sacrifices to the beams, raising the beams, and receiving the packages.

Firecrackers blasted as the craftsman stood on a high platform, saying auspicious words while scattering lucky bags containing copper coins, food, snacks and other items in all directions.

This made the people waiting downstairs very happy. Adults and children alike were all happily scrambling on the ground to get the lucky bags. It was really lively.

The ceremony was over and it was time to start the banquet.

Almost all the people in the village, men and women, young and old, gathered here to enjoy the banquet in a lively manner. The lively scene was unprecedented.

After the banquet, Song Ning, having had the experience of being kicked out before, decided not to go over to help clean up this time.

Fortunately, there were many people helping with the work, and everyone was busy working. It didn't take long to clean up. Each family took their own bowls, plates, tables and chairs, and some leftover dishes and went back to their own homes.

Most of the people in the workshop left at once, and only a few who stayed were still helping with the final cleanup, cleaning the banquet place inside and out before leaving.

With all the hard work, it took less than quarter of an hour to restore the place to its original state.

Song Ning couldn't help but sigh, it's easier to get things done with more people! As the saying goes, many hands make light work, this is exactly the truth.

When most people had left, the old clan leader and the village head stayed and talked with Hang Shuheng, and then they slowly left together.

As I was walking, I suddenly heard the sound of someone reading aloud. I followed the sound and heard...

"When the sun is high in the sky, hoeing the field..."

When I walked to the shade of the trees next to the workshop, I saw Song Ning reading with a group of children.

She read a sentence first, followed by the children's uniform reading aloud.

"When the sun is high in the sky, hoeing the field..."

“Who knows what’s on the plate…”

"Every grain of it is hard work."

Song Ning read the poem with the children and then patiently explained the meaning of the poem to them.

"Children, have you ever noticed how long your parents or grandparents stay in the fields to work and when they return home?"

As soon as the question was raised, a child immediately said loudly: "I know, I know, my parents and grandpa and grandma work until noon every day."

Another child followed up by saying, “My parents are the same.”

Song Ning nodded and continued, "So, they work in the fields every day and don't come back until noon. It's very hard, right?"

"Yes." The children answered in unison.

Song Ning continued to ask: "Then do you know where the food you eat every day comes from?"

“They are all grown!”

"Yes, that's right. All food is grown." Song Ning rubbed the child who answered the question in appreciation, and then continued: "Every grain you eat every day is earned by the diligent work of your parents or grandparents, so it is called 'every grain is hard-earned'."

The sound of Song Ning teaching the children not only attracted the old clan leader and the head of the village, but also other people, such as Old Jiang, Zhou Huan, and some villagers who had not left yet.

Listening to her earnest teachings to the children, everyone could not bear to interrupt her and only dared to praise her after she finished speaking.
