She didn't stop and go out until An Honglei and his friends had almost collected enough firewood and called her.

He ran over carrying two pheasants and excitedly announced: "Brother, I have named Zhan Zhan's wife. She will be called Huan Huan from now on."

"Huanhuan sounds good too, better than Zhanzhan." An Honglei praised.

"Well, they brought back two pheasants. Grandpa Wang, I'll give you one to make soup with."

Hand a larger pheasant to Wang Mingjin.

Wang Mingjin didn't feel comfortable asking for their food anymore, so he shook his head and said, "No, we just finished eating the meat. You can take it back and eat it."

"Grandpa Wang, just take it. Zhanzhan and the others often catch prey now, so we don't lack meat at home."

Without saying anything, An Honglei put the pheasant at the bottom of Wang Mingjin's backpack and covered it with some dead leaves.

"Ah, you two kids are really..."

An Xueyan also knew that they were not at ease, so she said, "Grandpa Wang, if you feel embarrassed, just teach us some knowledge. Aren't you a university professor? You must know a lot."

Wang Mingjin thought for a moment and asked, "What do you want to learn? I used to teach history. I'm good at calligraphy and fluent in foreign languages, but those aren't available outside of school these days. I do know a bit about other subjects, though."

An Honglei thought for a moment and said, "Grandpa Wang, can you tell me about the knowledge in the junior high school textbook?"

"can."

An Xueyan expressed her thoughts: "I want to learn calligraphy and foreign languages, and how to distinguish the authenticity of old objects?"

Her words made Wang Mingjin hesitate. If it were before he was in trouble, he would have agreed immediately, but he couldn't be so casual during this sensitive period.

After a few seconds of silence, he spoke with difficulty: "Yan Yan, go back and ask your father if he is willing to let you learn. As long as he has no objection, I have no objection."

After all, he couldn't bear to reject this child. Also, after so many years, he still longed to pick up his old job again. If he really couldn't go back in the end, this child might be the last student in his coaching career.

"Okay!" Understanding what Grandpa Wang was worried about, An Xueyan agreed with a smile. She felt that her father would agree.

The brother and sister did not follow Grandpa Wang down the mountain, as it would take several trips to collect all the firewood here.

Let Grandpa Wang go down the mountain first and find someone to come up and get it together.

There were people next to the cowshed, so it was not convenient for them to take it over, so they could only let them carry it back themselves.

After waiting for about an hour, I saw the three people from the bullpen arrive.

As soon as Mr. Shen saw the brother and sister, he said cheerfully, "Haha, I heard Honglei is very strong. Come, show him how strong he is."

The old man wanted to see that, so he had to satisfy his request. So, under the gaze of several people, he lifted a stone weighing more than 100 pounds.

Mr. Shen was an expert. He knew what was going on and asked, "Isn't this your limit? How much strength did you use?"

An Honglei said honestly: "Fifty percent."

Mr. Shen stroked his beard happily and asked, "Good boy, do you want to be a soldier in the future? You are born to be a soldier."

"I have decided that I will be a soldier defending my country."

Hearing the answer, Shen Laolian said: "Okay, okay, okay!"

He promised directly, "When you reach the age, if this old man is still alive, I will recommend you to join the ace unit. But it doesn't matter if you die. I will write you a letter in advance. Don't slack off in the next few years."

"Thank you, Grandpa Shen. You will live a long life. I will join the best team based on my strength without any recommendation." An Honglei's face was full of determination and confidence.

"What a good boy." Mr. Shen was not angry when he heard him say that, but praised him with satisfaction.

He was thinking that such a good seedling must be arranged properly for him and not waste his talent. If he had the chance to see those old guys in the future, he would show off to them, hahahaha~

While the three of them were on the mountain, An Xueyan took their pulses. They were in better condition than before, but their physical condition was too severe to recover in a short time, so they had to wait and see.

"Continue taking the medicine I gave you, and it's best to eat something good."

But when he thought of their conditions, his expression changed again, and he said with a bitter face: "Well, I'll think of other ways."

Seeing her worried look, Yang Zhiqian touched her head with his big hand, smiled gently and said, "Don't be hard on yourself. We are doing very well the way we are now."

Old Master Shen also said: "Yes, Yan girl, don't think too much. Grandpa Shen's body is now strong enough to fight wolves, so there is no need to bother to replenish us."

"It's good like this now." Wang Mingjin also smiled and nodded. He is very content with his life now.

"It's okay. This way I can improve my medical skills. Otherwise, I wouldn't have had the chance to practice."

Seeing her say that, they didn't know what to say anymore. To avoid suspicion, they let the brother and sister go down the mountain first, and they followed behind with the firewood on their backs.

When they came down the mountain and saw that their uncle and his men had already left, the brother and sister went straight home.

My aunts and uncles were cooking at home, and the yard was filled with the aroma of chicken soup.

Placing the pheasant in the yard, An Honglei walked into the kitchen and said, "Grandma, Auntie, do you have any hot water? I brought a pheasant back. I'm here to pluck its feathers."

Zhang Guihua, who was stoking the fire, smiled and said, "The water in this pot has just started to boil. I'll scoop it out. You're small, so stand aside."

Another pheasant is back, what a wonderful day!

The boiling hot water was poured into the wooden barrel used to kill and pluck chickens.

An Honglei took it out easily, skillfully put the pheasant in to scald it for a while, then picked it up and plucked its feathers quickly.

After being scalded by boiling water, the feathers on the chicken fell off easily. An Xueyan was helping his brother.

In the countryside, she also learned a lot of common sense about life, which she had never been exposed to in her previous life. It was a life full of the flavor of life.

After processing the pheasant feathers and dissecting out the internal organs, the chicken meat is frozen in the snow pile and can be eaten all winter.

An Xueyan looked at the icicles on the eaves and suddenly remembered something she had heard in her previous life. She asked her brother, "Brother, I heard that in winter, some people licked iron with their tongues and got stuck. Is that true?"

An Honglei said, "It's true, sister, don't try it. I saw a dog from the village lick it and got stuck."

Afraid that his sister might try it out of spite, he looked at her seriously and said, "Don't try it. You'll get hurt if you pull your tongue out."

"I'm not going to try it. I just heard about it before and I'm asking out of curiosity."

She wouldn't be so stupid as to seek trouble, but she could let others try when there was a chance.

When An Qingping came home from get off work, An Xueyan told him that she wanted to learn from Grandpa Wang. An Qingping thought about it and agreed. If they had been poor in the past, they would not have been able to afford to learn these things.

Although these intellectuals are now called the "stinking ninth class", he understands that knowledge is not wrong, and the problem lies in some people who have incorrect thoughts after learning knowledge.
