When Chen Yuan was almost at the foot of the mountain, he deliberately stopped to make sure that there was no one there, then he picked up the roe deer and headed straight for home.

With a "bang", the roe deer was thrown to the ground in the house. Yiyi was so scared that she squatted behind Sun Weiwei and dared not stick her head out.

“Is this a roe deer?”

Sun Weiwei looked at the beast on the ground with some disbelief.

"Yes, silly, just like you."

Chen Yuan joked and hugged Sun Weiwei in his arms.

"Brother Yuan! You're kidding me again!"

Yiyi stuck her head out and saw mom and dad hugging each other, and the little one was hugged as well.

"Yiyi also wants mommy and daddy to hold her!"

Chen Yuan half squatted down and let Yiyi sit on his arm.

"Come, daddy will hold you and play with you."

Yiyi sat on his arm nimbly and put her arms around Chen Yuan's neck.

"Daddy, what's in that bag?"

Chen Yuan glanced at the snakeskin bag on the ground and said, "There are hares and pheasants inside. They are too ugly. Yiyi can't look at them, otherwise she will become ugly."

Chen Yuan was afraid that the blood in the bag would scare Yi Yi, so he didn't open the bag.

Sun Weiwei reached out and took Yiyi from Chen Yuan's arms.

"Okay, let's eat, stop bothering Dad."

Yiyi obediently got off Chen Yuan and went into the house with Sun Weiwei.

Chen Yuan took a kitchen knife from the kitchen, peeled off the roe deer skin, and threw it into the kitchen together with the snakeskin bag.

They kept some meat and two hind legs of the roe deer, and Chen Yuan planned to sell the rest tomorrow.

There is also wild boar meat. If you can't finish it all in a short time, you can catch fresh ones later and sell half of the meat to make some money.

Sun Weiwei coaxed Chen Yiyi patiently until Chen Yuan finished processing the meat and then she took Yiyi out.

"Does Yiyi want to eat barbecue?"

Chen Yuan filled a basin of water and squatted on the ground to wash the roe deer meat, planning to put it on skewers and grill it later.

Chen Yiyi licked her lips and nodded slightly.

Yiyi had seen her great-grandmother prepare roasted bird for her grandfather at Chen's house before. She only knew that it smelled delicious, but she had never tasted it.

Chen Yuan handed the work in his hands to Sun Weiwei, "Wife, you cut the meat into pieces. I'll go to the reservoir and chop some willow branches."

With that, Chen Yuan put on his coat, picked up a hatchet and went out.

As soon as he went out, he met the village chief.

"Chen Yuan, I'm just about to go find you!"

"The commune has issued a task. The day after tomorrow, all production teams will send people to check the lake for winter fishing. Each production team will hand in 100 kilograms, and the extra will be taken back and divided among themselves."

Chen Yuan stopped and listened carefully to the village chief's request.

In the previous life, the commune also organized winter fishing every year, and Chen Yuan was one of the main laborers in Chenjia Village's fishing.

"I understand, uncle. Has the internet in our village been repaired?"

Chen Zhide smiled awkwardly, not daring to look Chen Yuan in the eye.

The fishing net in their village was torn last year. The winter fishing had already ended at that time, so he forgot about it.

"Repair! I'll find someone to fix it today!"

"You and Gou Wa should play more this year and share the spoils so that everyone can have a good New Year."

After distributing wild boar meat to the villagers last time, every household became more polite to him.

Chen Zhide has been pursuing his lifelong goal of helping the villagers live a good life.

Chen Yuan nodded and said, "Don't worry, uncle. As long as you can repair the net well, Gou Wa, Hu Zi and I will definitely make sure every household in our village catches a fish."

This is not Chen Yuan exaggerating. The only time Chahu Lake conducts large-scale fishing is during the winter fishing season. Usually, there are only a few anglers. Large-scale fishing is not allowed at all. It is said that this is a rule set by our ancestors.

The fish in the lake lived comfortably for a year and grew large and fat.

After a short delay, when Chen Yuan arrived at the reservoir, the sky was already filled with golden light.

He vaguely saw a woman by the reservoir.

At first, Chen Yuan didn't pay attention. He just wanted to cut the branches quickly so that he could go home.

But the more Chen Yuan observed, the more he felt something was wrong.

This woman is Liu Xiang, the daughter-in-law of the Sun family. She seemed to not want to live anymore. She squatted beside the hole in the ice of the reservoir and stared at the hole numbly.

"Hey! What are you doing?"

Chen Yuan shouted in the direction of Liu Xiang, but Liu Xiang did not respond at all. Instead, she took two steps towards the ice hole.

"Depend on!"

Chen Yuan was afraid that Liu Xiang would be upset, so he quickly put down the hatchet in his hand and walked onto the ice to call her back.

As soon as he reached the ice, Liu Xiang made up her mind and fell into the ice hole.

If Chen Yuan hadn't been quick-eyed and quick-handed, Liu Xiang would have really fallen in.

Although the water under the ice was not frozen at this time, it was very deep. If you fell in, you would probably lose your life.

"Let me go, let me go! Let me die, let me die!"

Liu Xiang was extremely emotional and on the verge of collapse.

Chen Yuan threw the woman aside without mercy, "Why would you want to commit suicide? Seeking death is the most stupid thing! Making those who dislike you regret it for the rest of their lives, that's what courage is!"

Liu Xiang's crying stopped abruptly. She raised her head and looked at Chen Yuan.

Chen Yuan guessed a lot about Liu Xiang's situation. He guessed that Old Mrs. Sun felt that Liu Xiang had lost her child and wanted to divorce her.

According to the thinking of this era, divorce is not a trivial matter. Women will be criticized and may even be unable to hold their heads up for the rest of their lives.

"Instead of thinking about death, you might as well think about how to go back."

After saying that, Chen Yuan no longer cared about Liu Xiang. He walked back to the willow tree, picked up the hatchet, and chopped off a lot of branches skillfully.

After Chen Yuan left, Liu Xiang stared blankly in the direction Chen Yuan left, unable to say a word for a long time.

Chen Yuan's words touched her deeply.

……

Chen Yuan happily took the willow branches and went home.

Sun Weiwei was still wondering why the man who went out to cut willow branches hadn't come back for so long.

Before she could go out to look for him, Chen Yuan arrived at the door.

"Something happened on the way, so I came back a little late."

Chen Yuan took the willow branches and walked towards the kitchen.

The willow twigs need to be rinsed with water before being used to skewer the meat.

Sun Weiwei followed Chen Yuan worriedly, "What happened? Are you hurt?"

Chen Yuan shook his head and told Sun Weiwei what had just happened at the reservoir.

"She's also a miserable person. Brother Yuan, you're amazing and did a great thing!"

Sun Weiwei praised Chen Yuan generously and was not at all dissatisfied with Chen Yuan being alone with Liu Xiang.

Chen Yuan curled the corners of his lips and said with a smile, "How about giving Brother Yuan a reward tonight?"

After hearing this, Sun Weiwei's face turned red. She stood up and ran out of the kitchen.

Chen Yuan thought his young wife looked really pretty like this. Why hadn’t he noticed it before?

He is so blind!

When he has enough food and clothing, he will definitely buy Sun Weiwei some scented lotions so that she will smell good even when she hugs her.

Chen Yuan washed the willow branches and carefully sharpened one end with a kitchen knife to make it easier to skewer the meat later.

Sun Weiwei ran out and calmed down for a long time. She returned to the kitchen only after she felt her face had subsided.

One of the couple cuts willow branches while the other skewers the meat. The work is not tiring when the man and woman work together.
