Zhong Ruyi quickly said no, "Let's go to the mountain tomorrow to see if there is anything we can pick. If not, we'll just treat it as mountain climbing exercise."
As the two were talking, Zhong Laosan and Chen Dongzhi came back with a deer they had shot. All the neighbors came out to see it.
"How come you're so powerful? You killed one yesterday and another today."
"That's right. This deer can be sold for more than 100 taels. I can stop working for a year. If I kill a few deer a year, I won't have to worry about running out of money in my next life!"
Seeing that the neighbors were getting more and more exaggerated, Zhong Laosan quickly said, "That's not true, auntie. You don't know that the deer was chasing me. I couldn't dodge in time and was almost stabbed in the chest by an upright stick. Fortunately, Dongzhi pushed me away, but his hands and feet were scratched."
As he spoke, he lifted up Chen Dongzhi's trouser legs a little to prove that what he said was true, to prevent others from not believing him and thinking that hunting was easy and joining him in hunting, and then blaming them if they failed to catch anything.
Chen Dongzhi's calf was indeed scraped and bleeding, as was his elbow. His clothes were torn, revealing his bloody arm. Everyone got goosebumps and suggested that Chen Dongzhi should take a few days off after the fight to heal his wounds.
Zhong Laosan led the deer into his yard, and Chen Dongzhi followed him. The two agreed that they would take the deer to the town to sell it in a few days, so they kept the deer in the Zhong family's yard first.
As soon as Zhong Ruyi heard the sound, she hurried out and took the tools from her third brother. Cuicui went in to pour water for the two of them.
Mother Zhong also heard the noise and came out. She had just woken up from a nap and heard a commotion outside. She heard the word "injured" and hurried out: "Who is injured? Let me see!"
"Mom, it was Brother Dongzhi. The deer was chasing me. I tripped over a stone and was almost stabbed by a stick. It was Brother Dongzhi who pushed me away. But he fell hard. His hands and feet are bleeding. Come and have a look, Mom!"
When Zhong's mother heard what Zhong Laosan said, she was also frightened. She quickly pulled Chen Dongzhi over and looked him up and down. Seeing that his hands and feet were still bleeding, she quickly asked Zhong Laosan to find a stool for him to sit down.
Chen Dongzhi held the teacup in his hand and glanced at Zhong Ruyi secretly. Seeing that she didn't notice that he was looking at her, he secretly glanced at her again.
Zhong Ruzhi noticed that he was still carrying hunting tools on his back, so he walked up to him and said, "Brother Dongzhi, put these things down first." Then he reached out to help him unload the things on his back.
Upon hearing the words "Brother Dongzhi", Chen Dongzhi was choked by the water. Zhong Ruyi looked at him worriedly, and instead of helping him unload the tools, she turned her hand to pat his back. This made Chen Dongzhi's whole body stiff and he dared not move.
He could only let Zhong Ruyi pat his back, unload his tools, and take away his empty cup. He sat on the stool, not knowing where to put his hands and feet. He had never been so nervous when he followed the general to fight the enemy before, and he didn't know what was wrong with him recently.
"Dongzhi, please have dinner at our house tonight. You have worked so hard, taking the third brother, who has never hunted before, up the mountain." Mother Zhong felt embarrassed. If the third brother had not gone with them, Dongzhi might not have been injured. It was because of the third brother that he was injured.
Chen Dongzhi wanted to refuse, but Zhong's mother didn't give him a chance. She asked Cuicui to go to Chen's house and told him to have dinner at Zhong's house tonight before going back. Chen Dongzhi could only watch Cuicui run faster than a rabbit, and it was too late to call her back.
Originally, Zhong's mother wanted to stay for dinner, so she would cook dinner for her. It was just right to kill a chicken. Zhong's mother told Zhong Ruyi that she would cook dinner tonight. Zhong Ruyi said no, she would do it. Seeing that she insisted on cooking, Zhong's mother had no choice but to agree and said that she would go to the back of the house to catch a chicken and kill it.
Zhong Ruyi suddenly remembered that she had said before taking a nap that she would exchange the chickens and ducks at home with those in the space, but she forgot about it for a moment. She told Zhong's mother not to catch them and to take one out from the space herself. Zhong's mother thought it was okay.
In front of Zhong's mother, a chicken was brought out. When her mother saw the chicken, she was shocked, "How can there be such a fat chicken?!"
After taking it and weighing it, the chicken must be at least ten pounds. Zhong's mother was reluctant to kill the chicken and asked her daughter to exchange it for another one. Zhong Ruyi had no choice but to exchange it for another one. The exchanged one turned out to be heavier and fatter. Zhong's mother was even more reluctant to kill it and had to kill the first one and eat the meat.
Mother Zhong's heart was bleeding when the chicken was killed, but when she thought about her daughter's space being filled with big fat chickens, she felt much better.
The eldest sister-in-law stood aside and watched Zhong's mother kill the chicken. Originally, the eldest sister-in-law wanted to take the chicken and cook it herself, but Zhong's mother didn't let her.
Watching the chicken being cut in the throat and bleeding slowly, the eldest sister-in-law felt a little strange: Why is the chicken in my mother's hand so fat? The eldest sister-in-law has weighed every chicken in the house, and each one is probably only three or four pounds, and the heaviest is only a little over five pounds. The chicken in front of her looks like it must be more than seven or eight pounds.
"......Mom, this chicken doesn't look like ours. You didn't catch the wrong one." The sister-in-law said hesitantly. This chicken really doesn't look like ours. Mom, you didn't catch the wrong one. It's such a fat chicken. If you want to compensate, you should get two.
Mother Zhong lowered her head and took the hot water that Zhong Ruyi had boiled in advance and poured it on the chicken: "This chicken is ours. It's normal for you to count chickens and occasionally make mistakes. Bring me the wooden basin from the second son's house."
I felt that the chicken was almost done by the hot water and it was time to start plucking its feathers. My sister-in-law still didn't quite believe it, but she also thought that what my mother said might be true. Maybe it was because she went to feed the chickens every day and her eyes were dazzled.
The chicken is big, and the internal organs are also big. After processing, these internal organs can be fried into a dish. In this case, Zhong Ruyi decided to stir-fry spicy and sour chicken offal, pickled radish and meat, Kung Pao chicken, and a soup made from chicken bones tonight.
Chen Dongzhi was sitting in the main room. Father Zhong and elder brother Zhong had not returned yet. They went to the fields today to see if they should plant more wheat tomorrow.
Zhong Laosan sat next to him and talked to him. Occasionally he would respond, but most of the time his eyes were looking at the door. Unfortunately, the kitchen could not be seen from the main room.
At this time, a fragrance wafted over. Zhong Laosan had been saying that he would take the deer to the town to sell after his injury healed in a few days. When he smelled the fragrance, he was so excited that he said, "My little sister will definitely cook tonight. Brother Dongzhi, you have to eat more later. My little sister's cooking is delicious."
"Yeah, I know." Chen Dongzhi said in a low voice with his head slightly lowered. He also smelled the fragrance.
