Ruan Qingge and Huo Beiting were busy on the mountain for half a day.

The weather was too hot, so after Huo Beiting killed the deer, he and Ruan Qingge went down the mountain.

Huo Beiting cut some grass, hid the deer in the grass, and then went to shoot two wild rabbits and hung them above the grass.

Carrying it down the mountain.

We met some villagers on the way. We didn't expect Huo Beiting to be so skilled. He not only made it to the top of the mountain without leaving empty-handed, but also knew to cut the grass and burn it when he got back.

I feel relieved when I think about the fact that he served in the army.

He is capable.

I am very satisfied with the partner Ruan Qingge found. Except for the fact that he has no parents, there is nothing wrong with Huo Beiting.

After saying hello to the villagers, the two quickly went down the mountain.

After returning home, Huo Beiting processed the deer while Ruan Qingge cooked.

Huo Beiting was a little unfamiliar at the beginning, but it took him a while to become proficient.

He peeled off the suede and left it for Ruan Qingge to make bags or shoes, which were warm and resistant to dirt.

Ruan Qingge went into the space and took out a lot of seasonings. This deer weighed more than 40 kilograms, and the two of them could not finish it. It was a hot day, so they had to marinate the deer meat and then dry it over a fire.

In the evening, the two of them had a meal of fresh deer meat soup and stir-fried deer meat with sour peppers.

Huo Beiting still had three bowls of rice, and Ruan Qingge also ate a lot.

After eating, Huo Beiting grilled the meat until eleven o'clock at night.

The fragrance lingers for a long time.

The next morning, Ruan Qingge got up and put the meat away, putting part of it into the space and part of it into a jar. He threw two pieces of lime into the jar and wrapped it with paper so that the meat would not get damp.

The weather in the south is still very humid even in summer, not to mention that she lives at the foot of the mountain.

It was a new day. Huo Beiting got up early in the morning and went to the fields. He caught some loaches and brought back some shrimps.

Wash them, dry the dried shrimps in an iron pan and pack them up.

Tie Niu brought a large basket of beans over and said, "Mom Pigeon, my mother asked me to give you the beans and pickle them for you."

They are all grown in our own fields. No one comes to harvest the vegetables now, so we can consume them ourselves.

Every household has several large jars used for pickling sauerkraut.

When there is no vegetable, we rely on these pickled vegetables to survive.

Ruan Qingge went back to the house and took out a can of malted milk and a bag of White Rabbit candy: "Tie Niu, this is for you. Go back and give it to your mother."

Tie Niu waved his hands quickly, "No, Pigeon Lady, I can't use your things."

The last time he accepted candy from the pigeon lady, his mother scolded him.

Ruan Qingge put it directly into his basket: "Here, give the malted milk to your grandfather to nourish his body."

When she came back from summer vacation, the vegetables were sent by Tie Niu's mother. She was not at home in the spring and did not grow any vegetables.

Buy everything.

The neighbors knew about her situation and would send her some vegetables if they had any at home.

Ruan Qingge bought some white sugar and kept it at home. Whenever someone sent her food, she would give them some white sugar or brown sugar.

Candy is a common gift these days.

It also saves face.

When Tie Niu heard Ruan Qingge say that it was to nourish his grandfather's body, he accepted it.

Because grandpa has been in poor health recently.

"Mother Pigeon, I'm going back."

"Go ahead. It's hot, so don't go to the river too often, and don't go playing in the deep water with others." Ruan Qingge reminded Tie Niu when he left.

Tie Niu was very obedient: "I remember, Pigeon Lady. I'm leaving now."

After taking the things back, Tieniu first looked for his mother and said, "Mom, Mother Pigeon insisted on giving me the things, saying that the malted milk essence would help Grandpa's body."

Ruan San's wife knew that Ruan Qingge was polite, so she thought of sending her some peppers and eggplants tomorrow.

It was summer now and the family’s pigs would not be slaughtered until the Chinese New Year, so Tie Niu’s mother went to catch a chicken and sent it to Ruan Qingge.

Before leaving, he told Tieniu: "Take the malted milk to your grandfather's room and make it for him to drink."

Tie Niu carried the malted milk to his grandfather's room and put it down gently.

Grandpa Tieniu has been in poor health recently. He went to the hospital and got some medicine. As he is old, his recovery ability is not so good.

"Grandpa, this is what Pigeon Mother gave me. She said it's for your health."

Tie Niu put down the malted milk sensibly, and Tie Niu's grandfather stood up: "How can you take such a valuable thing from your pigeon mother? Ask your mother to return it, dear."

"Grandpa, my mom caught some chickens and gave them to Pigeon Mom. Don't worry, our family won't take Pigeon Mom's things for nothing."

Since my daughter-in-law has done this, it would be a bit too much to return the malted milk.

Tie Niu went to pour boiling water, and after letting it cool for a while, he opened the can of malted milk, scooped a few spoonfuls, and made a large cup for his grandfather.

"Master, drink something."

Malted milk smells very good, and Tie Niu wants to drink it just by smelling it.

Malted milk, like this.

"Tie Niu, go get your cup and make yourself a drink. Let's drink together, grandpa and grandson."

Tie Niu didn't move. This was for his grandpa and he couldn't drink it himself.

"Be good, go ahead and drink some. You are growing up. Grandpa has drunk some before."

"Oh."

Tie Niu brought the cup over, but only filled it halfway.

I drank happily with grandpa.

"Grandpa, please get well soon and take me fishing."

Grandpa Tieniu touched his grandson lovingly and said, "Okay."

Ruan San's wife came back with a chicken, but Ruan Qingge refused to accept it.

no way.

Hearing his mother coming back, Tie Niu came out and saw that he hadn't even had time to wipe the malted milk off his mouth: "Mom, the pigeon mother confiscated it."

"Well, I won't accept it no matter what you say, eh."

Grandpa Tieniu heard it and said: "Then let San'er go to the river to catch fish in a few days and give her more."

"It can only be this way."

Ruan Qingge said that she had no shortage of food, so she asked her to raise chickens to lay eggs for Tie Niu and Tie Niu's grandfather to eat.

Ruan San's wife couldn't argue with her, so she had to bring the chicken back.

After dinner, Ruan Qingge and Huo Beiting went to the town. The weather was too hot, so they drank some ice water, ate two popsicles, and bought some vegetables. Ruan Qingge also bought white sugar, brown sugar, malted milk, and milk powder.

After arriving home, he took Huo Beiting to Tie Niu's house.

Ruan San's wife didn't expect her to bring such a thing again, and she stood up quickly: "Pigeon, you came when you came, what are you bringing? This morning, Tie Niu was ignorant and took a can of malted milk, and I feel bad about it."

Ruan Qingge: "Sister-in-law, why are you being so polite to me? I wanted to come and see Uncle San yesterday."

But there is nothing at home.

So I went to town to buy some today.

Grandpa Tieniu just came back from the hospital yesterday, and his health is much worse than before.

The medical conditions in this era were poor and could not be compared with those in later generations. People also ate frugally and looked old.

Grandpa Tieniu is sixty years old this year, but he looks like he is seventy, with many wrinkles on his face.

There are many hunchbacked elderly people in the village, with their faces covered with wrinkles.

Ruan Qingge put the things on the table in the main room. Grandpa Tieniu heard the sound and got up from the bed.

"Pigeons, you two sit down."

Ruan Qingge looked at the old man and said, "Uncle San, you should sit down too. You don't need to get up. Have a good rest."

Huo Beiting also greeted politely: "Third uncle."

After everyone sat down, Ruan Qingge introduced Huo Beiting: "Third uncle, this is the person I'm dating, Huo Beiting, from Huojiawan next door, he returned from the army and took the college entrance examination this year, the results will not be released until next month."
