As soon as it got dark, Yan Zhennan came in carrying a bamboo basket.

The kitchen was steaming with heat as Zhao Guizhi was preparing to serve the dishes out. Normally, her third sister would help out, but now that her foot was injured, she could only sit aside and watch.

Hearing the noise, he propped himself up on one leg and slowly moved out. Chu Xiao laughed when he saw it. "Your second brother will definitely show off to you later. Why are you in such a hurry?"

Yan Zhennan happened to come in at this time and smiled at the third sister innocently: "Second brother really can't show off this time."

Yan Sanmei's face immediately turned unhappy, "You can't even beat him?"

Yan Zhennan reached out and rubbed her head, saying, "It's not that I couldn't beat him, it's just that this kid ran very fast. When I chased him to his house, Aunt Zhang kept apologizing to me, and I couldn't beat him in front of his widowed mother."

Seeing that his third sister was even more displeased, he quickly pinched her cheek again and said, "Don't be angry, don't be angry. We live in the same village. I will always have a chance to help you deal with him."

"I don't need you. I'm going to find my brother." Yan Sanmei slapped his hand away and went to see Chu Xiao: "Brother Xiao, why hasn't my brother come back yet?"

"Who knows?" Chu Xiao yawned, "Maybe he won't come back tonight."

Wang Wu's brother-in-law is a businessman, and he helps sell most of the rabbits in the family. A few days ago, they negotiated a big deal, and the other party wanted a hundred rabbits, but Wang Wu only had thirty or forty mature rabbits.

Since there were not enough rabbits, he had to find a way to deal with it, so he dragged Yan Zhenshen up the mountain to hunt rabbits. They went together for seven or eight days, leaving early and returning late every day. Sometimes they went so far that they might not come back at night.

Chu Xiao didn't know how many rabbits he had killed, but the number of pheasants in the woodshed was increasing. There were almost twenty of them now. After a while, he would have to take them to the county town to sell them.

Zhao Guizhi served the dishes, cleaned the pot and filled it with water, then told Chu Xiao not to add more firewood to the stove.

After Zhao Guizhi finished her work, she stood at the door and called out to Yan Zhenbei, who was being tested by Qiao Qingyun: "Xiaobei, take Qingge'er to wash his hands and get ready for dinner."

After calling out to him, he turned around and asked Yan Zhennan: "Where did you get that basket?"

"Aunt Zhang gave it to me. There are fresh garlic, chili peppers, and two bunches of green onions." Yan Zhennan took them out to show Zhao Guizhi.

There are most new garlics in this basket. Farmers like to plant some in front of and outside the yard, and then dig them out to make pickles.

Her family also planted some this year, but they planted it a little late and the soil was not good, so they didn't know how it would grow.

"Aunt Zhang said this chili is tasty, so she wants you to try it first. If you like it, she will save some more seeds this year."

Yan Zhennan was also soft-hearted, but he refused to accept it. Aunt Zhang kept wiping her tears and apologizing, saying that it was her fault for not raising her son well and raising such a bastard. Yan Zhennan didn't need to do anything, she would just take a broom and beat him up.

Zhang Yiming was not going to stand there and get beaten. He just ran around in the yard, causing chaos.

When he refused to take the food, Aunt Zhang kept beating him. When he tried to leave, he was stopped and forced to take the food.

Feeling that it was not enough, he dragged people to the backyard to pull some more. Didn’t you see that there was still dirt on them?

Zhao Guizhi knew that Zhang Yiming's mother was a pretty good person. When they lived in the village, they would often go wash clothes together.

But later, one man became lame and the other lost his life. They lived far away and had to work hard to make a living, so they really stopped having any contact with each other.

Zhao Guizhi broke open a chili and smelled it, then she couldn't help sneezing several times: "This is really bad. Xiao Ge'er and San Mei can't eat spicy food right now. I'll pickle garlic tomorrow and pickle the chili as well. It should be quite tasty."

Since Aunt Zhang was begging for mercy, Yan Sanmei didn't say anything. Although Zhang Yiming was very annoying, they were an orphan and a widow...

She frowned slightly and thought for a moment, feeling that if she just let it go like this, she would still feel angry.

"Zhang Yiming said that carrying two baskets of grass a day would take a hundred days to heal a broken bone. If he can't finish cutting all the grass, I'll let my brother beat him."

"Okay, it'll be a waste if we don't use the free labor." Yan Zhennan nodded. He had to take care of the work in the fields, and sometimes he had to sit in a wheelchair and make furniture. Mainly, Ayun was planning to build a house, and there were a lot of things to do. He might not be able to spare time to mow the grass every day.

There is not enough grass today, so we can only feed the cow some hay. It goes out to graze every day anyway, so it doesn’t matter if it eats one less meal.

Yan Zhenshen came home late that night. Everyone in the family had already gone to bed. The hunting dogs were locked up in the old house, and even the wolf cubs were able to sneak out.

At the same time, Yan Zhenshen also pulled back a black-hoofed sheep. In order to chase it, he didn't catch many rabbits today.

But after calculating, one hundred rabbits should be enough, so I don’t have to follow Wang Wu to the mountain tomorrow.

The door of the old house was locked, so Yan Zhenshen climbed over the wall in the backyard. Zhao Guizhi was light-headed, so she came out to see what was going on, and just in time she saw Qiao Qingyun coming out in a long robe.

"It should be the eldest brother." People who practice martial arts have good hearing. They can guess who it is by listening to the steady and powerful footsteps.

Yan Zhenshen, who came out from the backyard, responded in a low voice: "Mom, Qingyun, you go back to sleep."

He was no longer surprised by Qiao Qingyun's call of "big brother". Even though she was older than him, she was still his second brother's wife.

Anyway, no matter what they are called, we are of the same generation, and it is much easier to discuss than with Lu Zhicheng.

When Qiao Qingyun returned to the room, Yan Zhennan turned over and lay on the kang: "I told you not to go out."

"It's always good to check."

The Yan family lives in a remote area, and no one cared about them when they lived a poor life in the past, but now that their lives are getting better and better, some people can't help but be jealous.

There are so many livestock kept in the backyard. Although it doesn't seem like a big deal to Qiao Qingyun, they are all raised with great care by his mother and third sister. If they were really stolen, he would feel so sad.

Seeing that the person was on the kang, Yan Zhennan hugged him and said, "Ayun, Xiaobei must be asleep, why don't we..."

"We're at home, don't mess around." Qiao Qingyun grabbed his restless hand.

"Keep your voice down. Even if Xiaobei is awake, he can't hear it because the wall is so thick." Yan Zhennan's hand was caught, but he still had a mouth.

"Come on, let me help you first."

Qiao Qingyun would never let him succeed, so he held both of them in his arms and said, "Go to sleep."

Yan Zhennan didn't want to compete with him in strength. Even if he won, he might end up angering him.

It’s better to take it step by step, anyway... hehehe.

As the shallow breathing in the room became more and more even, someone who had been holding back for a long time dived into the quilt.

Soon, a voice came from inside the house: "Yan Zhennan, you...ah, don't bite."

"Be good." A muffled voice came from under the quilt.

Qiao Qingyun pinched the corner of the quilt tightly, and with a suppressed sound, he looked comfortable and satisfied: "Ayun, you see I have prepared in advance."

One of them looked helpless and indulgent: "Aren't you afraid of being seen by your parents? How dare you keep such things at home?"

"They don't know what it is." Yan Zhennan was very proud. He finally had room to display his brilliance.
