It was already noon when the three of them returned home.
Ming Yueshu ordered her husband, "Go and call Xu Heng over to have lunch with us."
Anyway, he is the only one at Xu Heng's house, so he can just bring one portion with him when preparing the meal later.
It has to be said that Xu Heng has really helped them a lot since they moved here. The relationship between the two families has improved rapidly through their interactions, and things like inviting people to dinner today have become commonplace.
Of course, sometimes no one needs to call them, as they will come over consciously "licking their faces" as soon as they smell the food.
For so long, the other party had never let them suffer any loss. Not only did they send wild animals every now and then, but Xu Heng, who had his own affairs, had never made excuses.
Both parties treat each other with sincerity, so it seems natural for them to become reliable friends.
"Hey, no need to shout, I'm already here."
Xu Heng was holding a pheasant in his hand and just walked to the door of his brother's house. Before he went in, he heard someone calling him to eat. He pushed open the door and said directly.
He went up the mountain to check the traps today and happened to catch a pheasant. He had originally planned to ask the "chef" Ming Yueshu to cook it.
After eating the meal cooked by the other party, in his mind, his brother's wife Ming Zhiqing was already comparable to a chef.
"Are you going up the mountain again?" Shen Yixiao asked, looking at the prey in Xu Heng's hand.
Anyone who has lived in the countryside knows how difficult it is to walk on a mountain road after it rains.
Xu Heng ignored this and glanced at Shen Qian, the only unfamiliar face present. He smiled and said, "As you expected, you must be Shen Qian, right?"
Shen Yixiao's cousin had known for a long time that he was going to the countryside, so when he saw a face that was of the same age and somewhat similar to Shen Yixiao's, he immediately recognized her.
Ever since Shen Qian saw the visitor, his eyes had been glued to the pheasant in the other's hand.
Mingyueshu was a little amused by the curious look on his face, as if he couldn't help but touch it.
Shen Qian had learned about Xu Heng from the two of them a long time ago.
Shen Qian, who was trying to get someone to take him hunting, was very positive. "Hello, Brother Xu. I'm Shen Qian. I often hear my cousin and his wife say that you're a great hunter. After hearing that, I really admire you, Brother Xu..."
Mingyueshu and Shen Yixiao said they couldn't bear to watch it.
"Now that you're here, isn't it easy to get up the mountain?"
Xu Heng put the prey on the table and looked at his brothers with a half-smile.
That look seemed to be saying, how could you be so kind?
Shen Yixiao's face turned black: Who are you looking down on?
Mingyueshu went back to the kitchen, got a basin, and brought out a pot of boiling water.
He ordered them rudely, "Xiao Qian, you and your cousin will be responsible for plucking the pheasant's feathers and cleaning its internal organs. I'll do it later..."
Shen Qian was a little eager to try this task. Plucking the feathers of a pheasant?
He had never plucked hair himself, so he naturally wanted to experience it. So he patted his chest and promised, "Don't worry, sister-in-law, we will definitely complete the task."
Then he turned to the other two and said, "Right, cousin, Brother Xu... you should all know how to do it, right?"
Shen Yixiao stood up and skillfully used a basin to burn pheasant feathers. He said unhappily, "You are the one who is most prominent."
Shen Qian was not angry and followed him happily.
Xu Heng watched the two of them work happily from the side, and gave some pointers to the newbie Shen Qian from time to time.
"..."
At the dinner table, the pheasant stewed with mushrooms made by Mingyueshu was very popular among everyone.
Shen Qian had just swallowed his food when he learned that there was a wedding being held at the educated youth site the next day. He excitedly asked, "Sister-in-law, do you think I can go and sit at the banquet tomorrow if I bring a gift?"
Ming Yueshu took the chicken leg her husband had passed her and said with a smile, "Of course you can. Tomorrow is my good friend Zhang Meng's wedding. She even told me to bring you along, as she was afraid you might be embarrassed."
Upon hearing this, Shen Qian felt a little flattered, thinking that she was indeed his cousin's sister-in-law's friend, and was very considerate.
It must be said that he is an adult now, so he will still give the gifts he deserves.
Mingyueshu didn't say much. Since her cousin Qian had gone to the countryside, he would have to deal with the educated youth point for a long time, and naturally he would need to keep up with the interpersonal relationships.
After the meal, Shen Qian couldn't wait to get close to Ming Yueshu and said mysteriously, "Sister-in-law, do you want to know what happened in Beijing after you left?"
It wasn't easy, he finally found the opportunity to tell the gossip.
The reason why he didn't say it in the previous letters was so that he could say it in person at this moment.
Ming Yueshu hadn't come to settle accounts with this guy yet. He'd clearly agreed to write her a letter to tell her the gossip, but the letter he sent wasn't what she wanted to see.
So, facing this boy's enthusiasm, Ming Yueshu just said indifferently, "Oh, I don't want to know."
Shen Qian felt something was wrong when he heard the tone, and he also knew that he was the one who broke his promise first.
So he quickly put on a smile and said something nice, "Oh, sister-in-law, I admit that I was wrong. I wanted to come and talk to you in person, so I didn't mention it in the letter..."
"Oh~, what is it that you want to tell your sister-in-law in person that I can't hear?"
The sound coming from the door startled the two people in the room at the same time.
Shen Qian patted his chest and complained, "Cousin, are you walking without making any sound? You scared me to death."
Ming Yueshu, who was also startled, saw the person leaning against the doorway and said unhappily, "Who said you couldn't hear it? If you want to hear it, come here and listen. Don't make it too much of a drama for yourself. I was so scared by you..."
Shen Yixiao, who was confronted by both of them, touched his nose awkwardly. He really didn't mean to scare anyone.
Having frightened his wife, he no longer had the heart to argue with his cousin.
He moved a bench over and sat down. It was obvious that he wanted to listen to whatever gossip they had.
Mingyueshu thought to herself, if you want to hear gossip, just listen to it, don’t be so awkward and arrogant.
Shen Qian also despised his cousin in his heart. He didn't expect that the other party would be such a person. Why didn't he realize this before?
What happened? I suddenly feel like I missed a lot.
Her curiosity piqued, Ming Yueshu urged, "Tell me in detail. What are you going to talk about after we leave?"
Shen Qian scratched his head and saw that Ming Yueshu was really not angry, so he said with a smile, "I'm glad that you are not angry with me, cousin."
Mingyueshu was amused by the other party's childish behavior, and she actually laughed.
Not to mention that she wasn't angry at all, she was just pretending to be like that to tease the other person.
If she was really angry, she wouldn't rush to clean the room and prepare a sumptuous meal for others.
Seeing that the other party was so hesitant, Mingyueshu glanced at him and said, "Hurry up and say it, or I will be really angry later."
I changed to a comfortable position and sat down to listen to the gossip that followed.
