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

Yang Zhiqian helped him up and said gently, "Hey, kid, don't be like this. Others will help if they see it. You guys are fine. I'll leave first."

Before leaving, he reminded them: "Don't let others see us together. If you meet us next time, just pretend you don't know us. Don't come to us privately."

"I know. Uncle, what's your name?" An Xueyan agreed obediently and asked again.

The only response she got was the man's silent back.

If I have the chance to meet you next time, I will definitely find out your name.

Now I should remember the enemy in front of me first, so I asked, "Brother, who are the two people with Li Sanni?"

"One is Li Sanni's younger sister Li Wuni, and the other is An Xiaocui who came to our village with her mother." An Honglei is very familiar with the children in the village.

Unlike An Xueyan, who still doesn’t know many people, the main reason is that she doesn’t like to run around in the village.

"An? What's the relationship between her current home and ours?"

An Honglei thought for a moment and shook his head, "It doesn't seem to matter. They just share the same surname. We don't usually interact with each other. An Xiaocui's father's surname was Wu. After her father died, her mother remarried An Liu, an old bachelor from our village. So An Xiaocui changed her surname to follow him."

"Oh, then An Xiaocui doesn't even want her biological father. That's quite unfilial." An Xueyan complained.

An Honglei warned his sister: "Sister, next time you meet them alone, run away. You can't beat them alone, you know."

“Yeah, I usually stay with my grandma, they don’t dare.

"Brother, let's go to the reed marsh and have a look. Maybe we can pick up some duck eggs." Then she pulled her brother and ran to the reed marsh.

The two walked a little further inside and heard the quacking of ducks in the distance.

An Xueyan tugged at her brother's clothes and silently said "duck".

The two men moved over as quietly as possible, and when they parted the reeds, they saw a shallow beach where a group of wild ducks were playing.

He raised the slingshot in his hand towards An Honglei, meaning that they should fight together.

An Honglei's slingshot accuracy is pretty good. If they are lucky, they can catch two wild ducks today.

The two men prepared to take aim and strike at the same time.

An Xueyan didn't hold back much this time, and the wild duck she hit died and fell into the water.

The flock of wild ducks were frightened and flew away.

However, her brother didn't kill the duck in one blow. Instead, he injured the duck's wings, and it was flapping its wings as it prepared to fly.

The two men attacked at the same time and dealt another blow to the duck, making it deader than dead.

"Yeah, we caught a wild duck, brother, we are so awesome." An Xueyan was extremely excited.

This was the first time in her two lifetimes that she had caught prey, and she felt such a great sense of accomplishment.

An Honglei was also excited. This was his first time catching a wild duck. Although he had his sister's help, he was still very happy.

The brother and sister were laughing like two idiots in the reed marsh.

An Honglei found a way to pick up the two wild ducks.

"How do we take this back? If we had known, we would have carried the basket out." An Xueyan slapped her head in annoyance.

"Let's find some large leaves, tie them up, and go back by the small path. There aren't many people over there."

The two of them carried the things wrapped in two balls of green leaves and walked home.

When An Honglei arrived at the cowshed, he hesitated for a moment and looked around.

"Sister, wait for me here." After saying that, he ran to the door of the cowshed and threw the things into the room with the door not closed.

Yang Zhiqian in the room was startled and hurried to the door to see what was going on. He saw the back of a little boy.

"Oh...wait..."

An Honglei ran out even faster, pulling An Xueyan with him as he ran, his heart pounding.

After Yang Zhiqian turned around, picked up the things and chased after them, the brother and sister both ran to the door of someone else's house.

He couldn't chase after it, so he could only take the thing back. When he opened it, he found that it was a wild duck.

These two kids must have found it in the reed marsh, and no one knows how they caught it.

"These two kids are really..." He smiled and shook his head, his face gentle and his eyes moist.

Before they even reached the doorstep, An Honglei kept reminding her, "Sister, we only caught one wild duck today. You can't tell anyone about what happened just now except Dad, okay?"

"Well, I see."

An Honglei was still worried and asked, "Sister, how many wild ducks did we catch?"

"One!" An Xueyan answered in cooperation.

The little boy finally breathed a sigh of relief, for he was afraid that if his grandmother found out, he would definitely be beaten.

He smiled and praised: "Yes, one, sister is really smart."

The adults who had gone to work had not returned yet, so they put the wild duck in the kitchen and An Honglei prepared to boil water.

He knew that duck feathers could only be removed with boiling water, and he had no problem boiling water. He let An Xueyan play outside in the yard and refused to let her enter the kitchen.

An Qingyu dragged her tired body back home and saw her niece sitting leisurely in the yard watching the chickens.

She would use a stick to tease her from time to time. At this moment, she was so envious of her niece. She wished she was still as young as her.

"Aunt, you're back?"

An Qingyu asked with a depressed look on her face: "Well, I came back to cook. Didn't you guys go out to play?"

She also wants to play and doesn't want to work.

"Go out, aunt, we're eating duck meat today." An Xueyan leaned over and whispered.

The word "meat" instantly perked up An Qingyu.

"Really, where does the duck come from?"

An Xueyan said proudly: "My brother and I caught it in the reed marsh. It's amazing. We took out a wild duck with just one slingshot."

An Qingyu couldn't wait to enter the kitchen and saw the wild duck that had not yet shed its feathers.

What's so tiring? He rolled up his sleeves and started to pluck the duck. An Honglei helped him and in no time he had prepared the duck meat and put it into the pot, then added seasonings and stewed it over high heat.

Then have some stir-fried Chinese cabbage and steamed rice.

He moved as fiercely as a tiger, and An Xueyan was full of admiration.

Sitting at the kitchen door, he looked at her and started chattering, "Auntie, you're really good at work. If you were a man, I would marry you."

"Look at you, you're pretty and have great skin. You can't find anyone as beautiful as you anywhere else in this town. You're also so capable. If you turn 18, my grandparents won't be able to sleep."

An Qingyu asked with amusement: "Why can't you sleep?"

An Xueyan said confidently: "Because I'm overwhelmed by the choices for son-in-law!"

I changed my posture and continued to appreciate the beauty.

Then he said, “However, my dear, don’t be fooled by those stinky men.

If you ask me, why should women get married so early?

What's the point of being a housemaid in someone else's house before you even start enjoying life?"

An Qingyu felt that her niece was indeed still young and naive when she heard this: "Then which girl don't want to get married? If she is still unengaged at the age of marriage, people will gossip about her."
