Became a poor little boy abandoned by his educated youth mother?

After eating and drinking enough [hot water from the kettle], it’s time to start working and let the three little ones go out to find food on their own.

The three men walked down the mountain carrying more than 1000 kilograms of meat. When they were almost at the bottom of the mountain, they stopped and found a place to hide everything.

He went down the mountain carrying a few pheasants and rabbits that he had killed.

I also ran into someone I knew and said hello, "Qingping took the kids to the mountains to hunt again. Looks like you guys have pretty good luck."

An Qingping replied calmly, "I just happened to meet you and called you back for a meal. Brother Heizi, are you still collecting firewood?"

The other person nodded naively and said, "Yes, it's okay to be idle at home, so you can go to the mountain to pick up some firewood. You can also exercise your body and feel less cold." This man is a hard-working person in the village.

"Then you go ahead and do your work. We'll go home first."

Along the way, we met several groups of people who couldn't stay at home and came out to visit.

It is their father's job to deal with these people. The brother and sister just need to be quiet and behave well after calling them.

When Zhang Guihua got home, she was not surprised to see that they didn't bring back the big stuff.

He asked directly, "How many pounds of meat did you get this time?"

"Grandma, we killed two wild boars and four wolves." An Xueyan said proudly.

Zhang Guihua's heart tightened when she heard about the four wolves. She asked with concern, "Did you encounter a wolf pack? Are you not hurt?"

"It's okay. It's just that the leader of the pack was too cowardly, otherwise they would have all been knocked down." An Xueyan showed a regretful expression as she spoke.

Zhang Guihua was relieved that no one was hurt. She gave her granddaughter a strange look and said, "What do you mean they were too cowardly? It's because you were too brutal. You scared the wolves away. This is what they say in operas, that one person can be as powerful as an army."

An Xueyan wasn't embarrassed at all by the compliment and directly admitted, "Yeah, grandma, you're right. We are just that awesome."

"You are just a shameless girl." Zhang Guihua was speechless at her self-praise and patted her on the back.

Then he said to An Qingping who was busy removing the hair: "Third brother, you guys go take a rest, I will take care of these."

He snatched the work from his hands and pushed him aside.

An Qingping could only help out from the side. He was not the kind of son who would just watch his parents work and play.

An Xueyan: I’m ashamed, I am that kind of person!

At this moment, while Bian Anhonglei was helping, she had already run to the room with the kang burning to find food. She took out the melon seeds, peanuts, hazelnuts, etc. that her grandma would eat during the New Year the next day and the day after tomorrow, and cracked them first.

In winter, if she doesn’t eat something, her mouth always feels uncomfortable, so she likes to eat melon seeds.

It’s just that there are no butter melon seeds, which is a bit lacking.

By the time they brought in a few pheasants, she had already cracked a bunch of shells.

Zhang Guihua came in and saw it and muttered, "I was saving that for the New Year, and you bitch ate it up beforehand."

An Qingping, who was a daughter slave, started to say nice things, "Mom, just eat it first and buy more later. If Yanyan likes it, let her eat it."

An Xueyan knelt and said to her grandmother, "That's right, grandmother. It's the same whether I eat it today or tomorrow. It's for me to eat anyway. There's no difference. Stop nagging me."

"Okay, just spoil this greedy girl!" He glared at his son because he had no idea what to do with his granddaughter. It was all the third son's fault.

An Qingping refused to take the blame and retorted, "Mom, if you were to say who spoils Yanyan the most in this family, it would be you. You only say that, but you really don't want her to suffer any injustice, right?"

What greeted him was a flurry of punches from my mother.

The culprit, Xueyan, was sharing melon seeds with her brother while secretly glancing at her father who had angered the old lady and was being punished, and she covered her mouth and laughed.

She also said to the cricket: "Look, grandma is reluctant to use too much strength. This is what it means to hit someone and scold them. Our grandma loves dad very much."

"Well, this is a sign of how much the mother loves the child."

Seeing their father's eyes glancing over, the brother and sister quickly started eating melon seeds seriously.

Having been let go by my mother, An Qingping came over and said helplessly, "Stop pretending. Let's go open the box."

The brother and sister stopped eating melon seeds and followed their father to their home.

An Qingping found a thin wire from his home, explained to them the characteristics of the lock and how to open it, and even demonstrated it in practice. They saw the lock opened in just a few seconds.

They were also anxious to see what was inside, so they locked the box again and tried several times. Only when they were able to open it skillfully did they become interested in looking at what was inside the box.

Inside was a ball wrapped tightly in oilcloth. An Xueyan put on gloves and took it out carefully.

After feeling it for a while, I said, “Why does this look like a book?”

"Could it be some peerless martial arts secret book?" Ever since he had made great progress in practicing his mental skills, he had become very interested in all kinds of old martial arts secret books.

"Brother, where can I find so many martial arts secrets, especially the most unique ones?" An Xueyan rolled her eyes, her hands moving non-stop to unravel the oilcloth layer by layer.

An Qingping had no way to deal with such antique-like things and could only watch from the side.

Then I complained to my son: "Your brother hasn't woken up yet."

"Dad~" An Honglei looked at his father resentfully.

But his father didn't even look at him, and was concentrating on what his daughter was holding.

Humph, you little brat, who told you to laugh at me behind my back?

The oilcloth was finally completely removed, revealing the item inside. It turned out to be a book. The cover of the book had turned yellow and looked quite old.

The three big words "Tao Te Ching" are written on the cover.

An Honglei was a little confused: "What does that mean? Is there some Taoist secret in it?"

An Xueyan opened it and took a look. It was the same as the ordinary Tao Te Ching, with no difference.

He shrugged and said, "It seems to be just an ordinary book, nothing special."

An Honglei took the book and read it over and over again twice before he finally accepted that it was just an ordinary book.

"But I'm glad to have this box. The quality of these jewels is just average."

An Xueyan was not disappointed. This rosewood box and lock were old items, and it would not be a loss to repair those jewelry.

An Qingping said lovingly, "Then you can put it away and play with it casually, but don't wear these jewelry on your body." He was worried that it would be unlucky to have things that came out of the earth.

"Yeah, I don't like this kind of style either. I won't wear it."

When it got dark, An Qingping took people to get the meat they had hidden.

All four brothers of the An family went, and An Jinbao, An Jianhua, An Honglei and An Jiye also followed.

They carried all the meat back at once. They only bled it in the mountains, and when they came back they had to shave the hair, dissect it, and do other miscellaneous tasks. They were busy in the yard of the third room until 12 o'clock before they finally cleaned up all the meat.

Then he put aside a pig and two wolves that were going to be used for the wedding banquet in a few days, leaving half a pig for the Guo family and one wolf, which was about enough.

They ate the remaining half a pig and a wolf during the New Year holidays.
