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

Chapter 57: Strike first to gain the upper hand

We just had duck meat at noon, and given the old lady's frugal nature, she definitely wouldn't let us eat it today.

So it’s better to strike first and stew it directly in the pot.

When it was almost time to get off work, An Qingping was carrying a package and walked to a place not far from their homes when he smelled the aroma of meat. As he walked towards the old house, he could smell the aroma of meat coming from his second brother's house and his eldest brother's house.

There was also a strong smell of meat in the yard of the old house.

When I walked into the yard, I saw his daughter sitting in the yard. There was a small table next to her with a pile of roasted nuts such as hazelnuts, pine nuts and melon seeds on it.

He was kowtowing lazily, his eyes constantly glancing towards the kitchen.

"You want to eat meat." An Xueyan only felt a palm on her head and then her father's voice.

An Xueyan turned around in surprise and threw herself into her father's arms: "Dad, you're back."

"We're having rabbit tonight!"

"We went to the mountains to catch rabbits. We caught quite a few, including baby rabbits. My brother and I also caught wild ducks this morning..."

Without waiting for An Qingping to speak, An Xueyan chattered about all the great achievements of the day.

"Yan Yan is so great!" He picked up his daughter and held her high.

An Honglei had just settled the little rabbit at the back of the house when he came out and saw his father coming back.

I ran over happily and said, "Dad, you're off work."

An Qingping patted his son's shoulder and praised him, "Stone is also very powerful. It can even catch prey."

When praised by his father, little An Honglei's eyes sparkled and the corners of his mouth, which he tried hard to appear calm, couldn't help but rise.

Said: "It's all thanks to Dad's good teaching. My sister is also very good."

An Qingping looked at his children and said in a gentle tone: "Well, you brothers and sisters are all great. Dad is proud of you. Keep working hard in the future.

However, your safety should be the top priority when you are outside. Retreat if you encounter danger and don't try to be brave.

For Dad, your safety is the most important thing!"

Seeing that the children were capable, he was both proud and worried, and couldn't help but give them a few more instructions.

An Honglei: "I understand, Dad."

An Xueyan: “Yeah!”

After a while, the old couple came back from work.

Sure enough, when Zhang Guihua saw the pot of rabbit meat, her heart ached.

She then started scolding her daughter who was cooking: "We just had duck meat for lunch and haven't finished it yet. I wonder if we'll have rabbit meat tomorrow?

You, a girl, don't know how to live frugally if you don't manage the household. If you keep doing things like this, no matter how big your house is, it will be destroyed."

"Mom, all the rabbits have been killed. We have to eat them." An Qingyu said righteously.

Zhang Guihua slapped her little daughter on the back and said angrily, "Can't you just pickle it with salt? I think you did it on purpose, you little bitch. Now you've grown up, believe it or not, I'll cut you today."

An Qingyu was so scared that she quickly hid behind her father.

Seeing his wife getting the hang of it, An Youliang smiled and tried to smooth things over: "Haha, since my daughter has prepared everything, let's eat as much as we can tonight. You can also eat more later, just enough to keep yourself energized for the upcoming farm work."

"Mom, you and Dad have been taking good care of yourselves recently. I brought back two big bones today, so you will have some to eat tomorrow." An Qingping also advised.

Zhang Guihua rolled her eyes at her son and angrily scolded him, "What are you eating? You only know how to eat good food every day. Pickle the big bones for me and eat them in a few days. You eat meat today and vegetables tomorrow."

Everyone in this family is a foodie. If she doesn't keep a close eye on them, they'll be eaten out of money soon. So she went to the kitchen to salt the big bones and lock them up before starting to eat.

But the whole family didn't care. They ate today's meal first. The duck meat from lunch was heated up and served. In the evening, they had freshly cooked rabbit meat, a plate of cold-mixed young shoots, and cornmeal pancakes as the staple food.

Originally, An Xueyan wanted to eat rice, but her grandmother locked the rice in the cabinet, and her aunt had no choice.

There was so much meat that they had to make do with it. An Xueyan was obsessed with the meat the whole time and only ate half of the cornmeal pancake, giving the other half to her father.

The whole family finished cooking all the dishes on the table.

"Hehe, grandma, is the meat especially delicious today?" After dinner, An Xueyan came up to her grandma and asked with a playful smile.

"Have you ever seen meat that tastes bad?" Zhang Guihua looked at her calmly and said.

An Xueyan thought about it seriously and said sincerely:

"Well, all the meat I've eaten so far is delicious. Next time we go catch some wild animals and bring them back for grandpa and grandma to eat. Then you can eat as much as you want. I guarantee you won't like meat anymore in the future."

Zhang Guihua said casually, "Okay, I'll wait for you to bring back meat every day to honor me and your grandfather."

An Xueyan continued with a smile, "Then next time we eat meat, can we steam some rice? Meat soup and rice are a perfect match, it's so delicious!"

As he said this, he made an intoxicated expression.

Zhang Guihua nodded in agreement: "It is indeed very fragrant."

The subject suddenly changed: "But forget it, don't waste your time dreaming about good things. The little rice I have is not even enough for you to make a meal."

After saying that, she ignored her granddaughter who was thinking about going to heaven every day and went to her room. When she returned to her room, she began to check the situation of things in the house.

At night, An Qingping and his son slept on the same kang. An Qingping had recently developed a sense of qi and was sure that there was nothing wrong with his body. He also felt that his old injuries were getting better, and he was in much better spirits recently.

After eliminating the hidden dangers, I took out the exercises and let my son practice them. Since they can improve physical fitness, they can also ensure the future safety of children.

When An Honglei heard his father say that this was a martial arts secret book, he felt that he could become a hero who saves the world in the future. He was so excited that he didn't know what to say.

He opened the book tremblingly, only to see densely written words and some strange patterns on it. He asked curiously, "Dad, can this really be used to practice martial arts?"

An Qingping nodded and said earnestly, "This is a manual I recently stumbled upon. As long as you practice according to the instructions above, you will definitely see results. But remember, don't rush for quick results; you must proceed step by step."

An Honglei looked at his father with admiration and asked, "Dad, have you mastered it?"

"You have already developed a sense of Qi. Dad feels that it is good for the body, so he plans to let you brothers and sisters practice it in the future. However, this matter can only be known by the three of us, and you can't tell anyone else." An Qingping said with a very serious expression.

"Grandpa and cousin can't do it either?" An Honglei asked.

"The less people who know about this, the less danger there is. If this martial arts secret book gets out, many people with bad intentions will come to snatch it, and then our whole family will be in danger. So you can't tell your grandparents, uncles, and cousins. If you tell them, you may lose your father and sister." An Qingping had to make the matter sound more serious.

He wanted his children to become stronger, but he also didn't want them to get into endless trouble, so he chose to hide it from his parents, brothers and other relatives.
