The arrogant little husband is desperately flirting with the hunter

Chu Xiao narrowed his eyes when he heard this, and asked curiously: "Do you have someone you like? Is it a girl or a boy? Whose family is it?"

Then he thought that the one who didn't like jewelry was most likely a boy, so he curled his lips and said, "If you two are in love, then we'll go and propose marriage after the winter solstice."

Yan Zhennan: “…” How could such a stinky mouth say that?

"Brother, don't worry, don't worry, let's talk about this later." After saying that, Yan Zhennan ran away quickly.

Chu Xiao was puzzled: "He will be eighteen after the Chinese New Year, why doesn't he seem to be in a hurry to get married?"

Yan Zhenshen sat beside his husband and stared into Chu Xiao's eyes: "Don't worry about him, he's grown up and can decide his own affairs. Just care about me."

Chu Xiao looked back dangerously: "Do you want to get married?"

Yan Zhenshen: “…” How come this is another pot?

The reason he wanted to marry a wife was just to stop his husband from caring about other men. Xiaobei was young, and his second brother was almost eighteen years old. Why did he need his husband's care?

As the winter solstice was approaching, Yan Zhenshen and Chu Xiao went for a walk in the mountains near their home and shot two pheasants to roast for dinner.

They also caught a nest of rabbits in the snow. With nothing to do in the ice and snow, they started to smoke the rabbit nest.

Four or five rabbits were smoked out.

In the afternoon, the two went down the mountain, Chu Xiao carrying a rabbit and Yan Zhenshen dragging a wild boar.

When they reached the north mountain of the village, Chu Xiao stopped and sat there to rest, while Yan Zhenshen turned around and went back.

A man who was chopping wood nearby heard the dog barking, looked over, and was shocked: "Such a big wild boar?"

Chu Xiao smiled and greeted: "Uncle, I was getting firewood, and I just happened to run into the two."

The man's eyes widened: "Two, two? Hunter Yan wasn't injured, right?"

"No, they were all lured into the trap by Brother Shen. It's just very troublesome to drag them down the mountain."

"This wild boar is so big, it will be troublesome to drag it down." The man stopped chopping firewood and came over to look at the wild boar for a long time: "I think you are tired, I will go to the village to call a few people to help you carry it back."

"Thank you, uncle." Actually, Chu Xiao didn't recognize many people in the village, such as this man in front of him. However, judging from his age, he should be not much younger than Yan Zhengdao, so it was always right to call him uncle.

The man went back to the village to help call people. Chu Xiao looked back a few times, but there was no sign of his brother Shen.

Alas, he had forgotten the location of the wild boar too far away. It would take a long time to find it, and it would be really troublesome to hide it from others.

When the uncle came up with a few men, Yan Zhenshen had not come over yet, so Chu Xiao walked a few steps over there.

But a voice behind him called out, "Xiao Ge'er, Boss Yan is still upstairs, right? Don't worry, I'll go pick him up."

When Wang Wu heard that Yan Zhenshen had hunted a wild boar, he ran up excitedly.

Seeing that Chu Xiao seemed a little anxious, he didn't even have time to appreciate the wild boar before running in the direction Chu Xiao was facing.

But before he had walked far, he heard a dog barking. Wang Wu went over with a look of joy on his face: "Oh my god, Boss Yan, you are so strong that you can really drag it down by yourself."

"What else?" Yan Zhenshen also moved a close distance away and was still a little out of breath.

"You can cut it into many pieces and then get it down."

As Wang Wu spoke, he grabbed the other hoof and dragged it down with force.

In fact, dragging this thing in winter is much easier than in summer. After all, the snow covers the weeds and the ground is very slippery.

If you kick it on a slope, it will slide a long way by itself.

It's just that the direction of sliding is wrong and it needs to be pulled back. As for why Yan Zhenshen is so clear about it.

Don't ask, just try it.

With the help of several men in the village, the two wild boars were moved to Yan Zhenshen's thatched house.

Yan Zhen thanked them deeply and said that he would slaughter one tomorrow and sell it in the village at 20 cents per pound.

That's several cents cheaper than buying it at other butcher shops, and pork is not only used to make dumplings during the winter solstice, but also during the Chinese New Year.

Those people happily agreed and said they would help notify the people in the village.

The others left, but Wang Wu was not in a hurry to go back. "What time do you pack up tomorrow? I'll come over to help you."

"Before Chen time." Yan Zhenshen said.

Now the days are short and the dawn comes late, and it is just dawn at noon, but it takes time to process the wild boar, and it takes even longer to sell it.

"Okay, I'll come earlier then." Wang Wu said with a smile, "Let me choose the meat first then."

Yan Zhenshen nodded.

Wang Wu helped cover the wild boar with a straw mat and then prepared to go back.

Chu Xiao came out with two dried fish and two bags of snacks and handed them to Wang Wu: "I brought these snacks back from the city. I'll give them to Luo Ge'er to try. I've never eaten dried fish before, so I don't know if it tastes good, but I'll just give it a try."

Wang Wu took it with a smile: "That's very kind. I want to thank you for your concern on behalf of my Luo Ge'er."

Yan Zhenshen kicked him angrily: "You talk too much nonsense."

Wang Wu ran a long way along with the force, turned back and said with a smile: "I'll come over tomorrow morning."

Early the next morning, just as the sky was getting light, Wang Wu's shouting was heard outside the yard. However, he was not the only one who came. The boy from the Gu family who had sent him the puppy before also came.

Gu Pan, the boy from the Gu family, is about the same age as Wang Wu. He got married relatively late, marrying a girl from the same village, Zhang Erni, just last year. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are childhood sweethearts.

But his wife is also a person with high aspirations. She always wants to marry into a wealthy family. But how many wealthy families would be willing to marry a girl from a peasant family?

So she kept delaying it until she became an old maid, and only then did she get married reluctantly under the pressure of her parents.

It can be said that Zhang Erni is a person who dares to dream and imagine. Not to mention that she is an illiterate village girl, even Lu Chengxue is the granddaughter of a scholar who has been learning to write and write since childhood. The real wealthy families are only willing to take concubines and cannot give her the position of wife.

Of course, there are exceptions, like his uncle Lu Zhicheng. He doesn't care whether the two are well-matched, as long as they like each other.

That also has to be said that Lu Zhubu's father is reasonable. Otherwise, in this era where marriages are decided by parents and matchmakers, it would be very common for couples to be separated if parents do not agree.

Wang Wu has a good relationship with Gu Pan, but he looks down on Gu Pan's wife. Not only does she look down on people, but she is also restless.

She dresses flashy every day, just like Chu Wanwan. Wang Wu often complains to Luo Ge'er at home that his brother is afraid that he can't take care of his own wife.

But every time, Luo Ge gave me a cold look.

Gu Pan was a simple and honest man. He followed Wang Wu into the yard, said hello, and started to work.

Normally, no one in the village would be willing to slaughter a pig, so most of the pigs raised in the winter are sold to nearby butchers.

This is also a big income throughout the year.

The wild boars to be killed are much larger than domestic pigs. It is convenient to go to the river to deal with them in summer, but the river is frozen now, so we can only boil hot water at home to deal with them to avoid frostbite on our hands.

After two large pots of hot water were boiled, Yan Zhenshen and his colleagues began to scald the wild boar's hair. The wild boar's hair was originally rough, and after dragging for so long, there was a lot of dirt on the pig's body.

The hot water smelled really bad when it was poured on him. Chu Xiao covered his nose and retreated into the kitchen.
