A Happy Event in a Farming Family: Marrying a Hunter

and many more!

Mind your own business?

Wasn't Yunlu implying that he was meddling in other people's business and making himself unpopular?

Li Pinglang blushed and tried to explain, but the two had long since disappeared. He was filled with anger and confusion.

When did Yunlu change?

He almost doesn't recognize him anymore!

It seems that she is different from the annoying Yun Luo of the past. She and Qin Zheng are together. Although he doesn't want to admit it, the fact is that the woman is beautiful and the man is handsome. They look like a perfect match.

Moreover, Qin Zheng was clearly a rough and uncouth man, yet standing before him, a scholar, he didn't seem inferior at all. On the contrary, he seemed like the talented and upright person, a feeling that made him very uncomfortable.

"Brother Lang..." Yunlan had two eggs in her hand. When she saw Li Pinglang, she smiled and said, "Brother Lang, here you go!"

Normally, Li Pinglang would have accepted the invitation, but today he felt uneasy. "Lan'er, what brings you here?"

“I recite my lessons with Brother Lang every morning, how could you forget?” Yunlan said reproachfully, her tone gentle.

For some reason, Li Pinglang suddenly thought of Yun Luo. Compared to her, Lan'er didn't seem that good-looking. How come he hadn't noticed before?

"Lan'er, do you know what it means when you say 'the cat dislikes the dog'?"

Cats, dogs, and all sorts of random things.

Yunlan tilted her head and thought for a moment, "Does that mean you really hate cats and dogs?"

Li Pinglang's lips twitched. "What about the saying, 'Time flows like a river, never ceasing day or night'?"

"It means that the deceased resembles my husband, both day and night!"

Li Pinglang's lips twitched even more violently, he was simply incredulous. He stared at Yunlan for a long time, unable to eat the egg in his hand, and shoved it back, "Lan'er, I have something to do, I'll go back first."

"Brother Lang..." Yunlan called out.

What's wrong with Brother Lang today? Could it be that you were upset because you said the deceased looked like her husband?

……

Li Pinglang's matter was like a passing breeze; neither of them took it to heart. However, Yun Luo secretly regretted using it as a shield in her casual remark.

She carefully observed his expression the whole way, and only breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that he wasn't angry.

"Brother Qin, so many lichens!" Yun Luo exclaimed happily.

Qin Zheng leaned closer to take a look, then frowned. "This thing is edible?"

"Yes, yes, yes! Stir-fried meat is delicious, and so is cold meat salad. Just add some soy sauce, minced garlic, and chili peppers, and it's perfect with rice!"

Not only lichens, but also all sorts of other wild vegetables. Because no one picks them, they are plentiful and plump. Yunluo picked them with great joy, "Brother Qin, with this place, we won't have to worry about not having vegetables to eat in the future. We'll let Mother and Little Brother come and pick some together."

"to make!"

This area is not only full of wild vegetables, but also a lot of herbs, such as mugwort, rehmannia, and forsythia. The two of them brought a burlap sack and stuffed it with the herbs they had picked.

After working for a while, they had already dug up a whole sack.

"Xiao Luo, have something to eat and rest for a while. That's about enough for today, we should head back."

The two had been digging for two hours, but Yun Luo showed no sign of stopping. Qin Zheng began to suspect that the dream she had mentioned earlier was not a lie.

Yunlu didn't feel tired. Before she could even pick anything she saw, Qin Zheng would come over and pull it up. All she had to do was gather the wild vegetables.

Yunluo took the steamed bun, took a bite, and then saw a grayish-brown snake flicking its tongue at them. Her face paled. "Brother Qin, there's a snake..."

She wasn't afraid of anything else, but she was afraid of this soft, squishy thing.

Qin Zheng was extremely nimble and quick. He caught the snake, which had been rampant just moments before, in an instant. The snake twisted its body and coiled around Qin Zheng's arm.

"Beware!"

“This is a black snake, it’s not poisonous!” Qin Zheng said. He casually circled the snake and, using some clever technique, the snake was unable to move and could only hiss.

Some animals lacking sufficient spiritual energy cannot communicate with her, and this snake is one of them.

"The snake tastes delicious, almost like wild pheasant. When we get back today, I'll stew snake meat for you. We'll head home now."

On the way down the mountain, Qin Zheng was carrying a snake, which attracted a lot of onlookers. The children were curious, but they just watched from a distance and dared not get close.

The two went back first, planning to pack up before picking up the two children.

Yunlu took a large winnowing basket from home, spread out the herbs, and placed them in a shady place to dry. Qin Zheng carried a basin of water and killed a snake by the smooth stones in the yard.

Qin Zheng moved swiftly, and with one swift stroke, the snake's internal organs were removed and its skin was completely peeled off. He hung it aside, washed the snake meat, chopped it into sections, placed it in a wooden basin, and divided it into two portions. "Take one portion to Mother and Xiao Jie. Although black snake is a good thing, children can't eat it, and the two of us can't finish it either."

"it is good."

Yunlu was touched; Qin Zheng was a truly kind man.

"Brother Qin, let me cook it. You help me start the fire." Yun Luo looked at the white snake meat in the wooden shed. The cut snake meat didn't seem scary at all.

Qin Zheng agreed and went to the woodshed to fetch firewood.

Yunlu washed some scallions, ginger, and garlic, heated the pan with cold oil, sautéed the seasonings until fragrant, added the snake meat, and a crackling sound rang out. The snake meat was stir-fried until it turned golden brown, and the aroma filled the room. Yunlu took a sip, her mouth watering. She added water, covered the pan, and slowly simmered it.

This stew will smell absolutely amazing!

After processing the snake meat, Yunlu grabbed a handful of lichen, put the other wild vegetables in the basket, and soaked the rest in water. Although these things were delicious, they were not easy to wash. "Brother Qin, I'm going to pick up Xiaoran and Xiaoyu. You're in charge of the meal."

After she finished speaking, she picked up the basket and went to the Yun family's house.

Zhou Rong was weaving baskets at the entrance of the kitchen when she spotted her immediately, and felt much more at ease. "Oh, you're back so soon. Is everything alright?"

"It's alright, we dug up quite a few things. Mom, let Xiao Jie come with us tomorrow, there are lots of good things there. Look at this." Yun Luo lifted the leaves covering the top as if presenting a treasure.

Zhou Rong glanced at it and chuckled, "Black snake meat? That's a good thing! Your dad used to work in town and said he ate it once. It tasted amazing, but how many people dared to catch it? By the way, what's that dark stuff in your basket?"

"This is called lichen. Brother Qin told me about it. Soak it in water for a while, wash each leaf clean, blanch it, let it cool, mince some garlic and chop some chili, and mix it with soy sauce. You can also stir-fry it. It's great with rice."

Anyway, the villagers didn't know Brother Qin, so any changes in her behavior were attributed to him, and no one suspected anything.

It's just a pity for Brother Qin; he'll have to take the blame again.

Yunlu sighed inwardly, "Mother, I'm going to find the two children."

"Okay!" Zhou Rong looked at the basket of delicious food and felt a warmth in her heart. Qin Zheng was such a good kid.

Xiao Luo married him, but they weren't really married. Is their current situation good or bad?

She almost forgot that there were still a few quail eggs she had found that day in the kitchen. She was keeping them for the two children. Xiao Zheng treated them well, and she wanted to remember that. She couldn't be an ingrate who betrayed his conscience.

As soon as Yunluo entered the backyard, she heard a girl's tender voice crying out "waaaaa," which made her both anxious and frightened.

Two boys in the yard were wrestling, neither willing to back down, and both of them were covered in mud.

"Waaaaah... Don't hit my brother... Don't hit my brother... Waaaah..."
