The two voices sounded at the same time. Yang Ping's face was full of smiles. Her facial features were unusually bright under the light."Aunt, Sister Lian, I'm back!”
Without waiting for her to finish her sentence, Aunt Wang put down the knife in her hand and trotted over to Yang Ping's arm. She looked her up and down, and then slapped her back a few times. She muttered repeatedly,"You disobedient one! It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back. Fortunately, there's nothing wrong. I'm so anxious!”
"..." Yang Ping laughed." It's nothing, Aunt. My uncle and Brother Zhu Zi aren't at home?"”
" She's here, she's here…" Uncle Wang heard the noise and hurriedly ran out of the central room with his shoes. When he saw Yang Ping standing in the courtyard, he heaved a long sigh of relief.
"Uncle, I hunted something on the mountain. It's at the back of the mountain. Please help me pull it back…"
"Alright, uncle will go now!" Uncle Wang didn't wait for Yang Ping to finish and walked out while picking up his shoes.
"Uncle, uncle-push the cart!" Yang Ping also wanted to catch up.
"Alright, my father will go. Sit down and rest!”，Amelia grabbed her arm and handed her a bowl of water soaked in wild chrysanthemum. She did not forget to poke her forehead with her other hand."Girl, you're so bold! Next time-"
Yi 'er also leaned over and leaned on her body, covering her mouth sneakily. Sister's forehead was poked again!
"Good sister, I won't dare to do it again-" Yang Ping reached out and wrapped her arms around Yu Lian's waist, burying her head in her soft chest and acting coquettishly,""However, there's still one more thing I have to trouble you with today…"
Amelia removed her claws from her body."What is it? Don't push me, talk nicely!"
Aunt Wang lovingly watched the two of them play at the side. When she heard Yang Ping say that there was trouble, she quickly approached.
" My uncle is here. We hunted today and my yard is small. I want to clean it up at your place and trouble you and Sister Lian to cook a few dishes for dinner tonight…"
There was a lot of content in these words. Aunt Wang and Amelia were stunned for a moment. In the end, it was Yi 'er who spoke first."Uncle is here? Is he our uncle?"
"Yes, it's uncle. He's waiting for Yi 'er at home!”，Yang Ping held her little sister's hand and stood up.""When my uncle brings the prey back, I'll have to trouble you to clean it up first. I'll bring Yi 'er home first and come over to help in a while.”
Taking advantage of the time when Aunt Wang and Yu Lian had not reacted, Yang Ping pulled her little sister with one hand and took her basket with the other. She felt that it was too troublesome to explain. Anyway, Uncle Cheng was behind. It was better to wait for him to explain before she appeared.
"Hey-"
"Uncle? Sister Xu's brother? Sister Xu has a brother?" Aunt Wang tugged at her sleeves with a blank expression.
"Mother, look at what you're saying. Auntie Xu never said that she didn't have any brothers!”
"Yes, yes, yes, I didn't say that! Amelia, quickly go and soak our sun-dried fungus and wood ears in the water. A character like Sister Xu, her brother…Quick, quick, kill that red rooster. Mother will go and welcome your father to see what kind of prey it is. Zhu Zi, that rascal, has been up the mountain since early in the morning and has yet to return!”
Amelia was still calm. Don't panic first. This courtyard is almost full of corn ears. Let's gather this place first. There's no need to panic when cooking. It's just after August 15th. We don't lack meat and vegetables!”
"Yes, yes, you're right. Let's tidy up the courtyard first!”
The mother and son worked together. Just as they gathered the ears of corn into a pile, they heard their father and a man's deep laughter from outside. The wheelbarrow squeaked as it approached. The mother and son hurriedly threw away their belongings and went out to welcome them.
"Aiyo!" Aunt Wang clapped her hands and was so excited that she didn't know what to say."This…this…Brother Cheng? Was this a deer? It's so big!"
"Uncle Cheng-"
Uncle Cheng's usual stern expression was replaced by a warm smile."Sigh, sorry to trouble Sister-in-law Wang! If we kill this roe deer and stew it today, we'll have to deal with the deer.”
Aunt Wang hurriedly waved her hand." It's fine, it's fine. Amelia, go get your Uncle Cheng some water!"”
Uncle Cheng helped Uncle Wang stabilize the car. He picked up a deer and threw it on the ground before picking up another deer. He turned around and said to Wang Fugui,"Brother Wang, shall we leave one for the Li Zheng? Let him share the points with the villagers?"
Wang Fugui was about to ask if he should discuss it with the pretty girl, but he suddenly remembered what Brother Cheng had said to him at the foot of the mountain. He suddenly felt that the fact that he was willing to discuss it with him meant that he was treating him as a family. He felt a warm current rise from the bottom of his feet, so he pressed the handle tightly."Yes, yes, yes…Old Brother Cheng, you've thought it through. We'll send it over now!”，Then, he turned around and instructed his wife,"Lian 'er's mother, boil two buckets of hot water and cook a few dishes…"
" Hey, hey," Aunt Wang hurriedly agreed. She couldn't care less about the two big deer and the two fat roe deers on the ground and rushed to the kitchen.
Blood relations were a mysterious and unexplainable instinct. Yi 'er and Little Uncle got familiar with each other in less than 15 minutes. They clung to each other in his arms and hugged their necks without letting go. Little Uncle took off the jade pendant on his waist and gave it to Little Fei. He then took out a few banknotes and stuffed them into Yi' er's hands. He rubbed his nose and said embarrassedly,"The gifts that Uncle brought for you will arrive tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. These gifts are for our first meeting…"
Yang Ping glanced at the banknote and curled her lips.
An hour later, Yang Ping and her siblings accompanied Xu Changqing to Uncle Wang's house. As soon as they entered the door, Little Fei ran to the front yard to watch Uncle Cheng and Uncle Wang deal with the prey. Yi 'er slipped down from her uncle's arms and wanted to follow but was stopped by Yang Ping,""Yi 'er, be good. Let's go play with Sister Lian.”
" Aunt, Sister Yulian..." Yang Ping held her sister's hand with one hand and held a bundle that she had just made with the other, indicating for her uncle to follow her.
Hearing the shout, Aunt Wang rushed out of the kitchen with a green onion in her hand. She saw a noble young master in a sapphire blue brocade robe standing in the courtyard. At this moment, the entire courtyard seemed to blur. This person was more beautiful than all the men she had seen in the town and county. Aunt Wang did not know what to say. She was stunned for a moment before she smiled and said,"Young…Young Master Xu? Hurry up! Hurry up and sit in the house!"
"You're the sister-in-law of the Wang family, right?" Xu Changqing cupped his fists and stood up. Hello, sister-in-law. Thank you for taking care of the three of them. My parents, brothers, and sister-in-law are extremely grateful. Changqing thanks sister-in-law on their behalf!”，As he spoke, he bowed politely.
Aunt Wang hurriedly waved her hand and said uneasily,"I wouldn't dare, I wouldn't dare. Young Master Xu is too polite!”
"I'm the third in the family. Sister-in-law can call me Changqing or Third Brother!”
"Hey-hey-"
Yi 'er had already run into the kitchen to look for Sister Yulian. Yang Ping tugged at her uncle's sleeve."Uncle, auntie and we are family!”
Aunt Wang finally came back to her senses." That's right. Lass Ping is right. We're all family. Third Brother, come in and sit!”
"Auntie, Uncle specially prepared this for you!”
"Aiya, this, this-"
"Aunt, don't say that," Yang Ping said as she stuffed the bag into Aunt Wang's arms. She turned around and said to Xu Changqing,"Uncle, bring Yi 'er around. I'll go help cook!”
Because there was a young man around, Amelia sensibly did not leave the kitchen door. She was kneading a smooth dough on the chopping board. At this moment, when she heard the conversation outside, she said to the little girl who was sticking to her side,"Yi 'er, go out and play. I'll make you a bunny and your favorite chicken soup noodles, okay?”
"Someone with red eyes!"
"Yes, red eyes!" Amelia replied with a smile.
Dumplings at the door and noodles at the door. When guests came from afar, a bowl of hot noodle soup was indispensable.
Yi 'er was carried by her uncle and jumped over the wall in front of Aunt Wang. Yang Ping resisted the urge to roll her eyes and didn't know whether to cry or laugh. Aunt Wang, on the other hand, looked honored and praised.
Yang Ping quickly rolled up her sleeves and went into the kitchen."Sister Amelia, what am I doing?"
"Wash the vegetables!" Amelia made the arrangements readily.
"Good!"
……
The roe deer meat, which was cut into the size of a child's palm, was carried by Uncle Wang into the kitchen in a basin. Amelia rinsed it neatly, blanched it, and then slowly stewed it in a large pot.
Braised venison, braised venison tendons in soy sauce, chicken stewed with mushrooms, stir-fried mushrooms, mixed autumn ears, stir-fried eggs with leeks... The table was filled with farm dishes. Uncle Wang pushed Uncle Cheng to sit at the head of the table while he and Xu Changqing sat on both sides.
Zhu Zi only rushed back when the sky turned dark. He could smell the smell of blood coming from his courtyard from afar. He barged into the house in a daze and was shocked by the speed with which Uncle Cheng cut the venison with a dagger. Until now, he was still pestering Xiao Fei with questions.
Uncle Wang took out the wine that his eldest son had specially bought for him during the Mid-Autumn Festival and happily filled three glasses."There's nothing to entertain the Xu brothers in our mountain ditch, but everyone in the city likes this mushroom…Third Brother, try a few mouthfuls. Old Brother Cheng, we brothers have already said that we would drink two cups.”
Amelia, who had just come in with a steamed bun, took out a little rabbit from the basket that was specially made for Yi 'er. She smiled and poked Aunt Wang's shoulder."Mother, look at how good my father is at talking today!”
"Really!" Aunt Wang laughed and said," This wine is too strong. I don't dare to drink it on an empty stomach. Yulian has made chicken soup noodles for Third Brother to eat first!"”
"Of course, Father is happy!"
"Got it, Sister-in-law. Thank you, Miss Yu Lian.”
"Hahaha!"
Yi 'er was excited." Sister, look at my little rabbit. It has red eyes!" Sister Lian, I won't eat it, keep it!"
Everyone turned their heads to look. They saw a little rabbit made of white flour. It had a triangular mouth, erect ears, and eyes made of red beans. Even Xu Changqing couldn't help but take a few more glances. Uncle Cheng praised,"Yu Lian is really good at cooking!"
Amelia was shy, but she was generous." It's nothing. Yi 'er, eat it!" There's another one in the basket!"
Zhu Zi opened his mouth loudly." Little Sister Yi 'er likes rabbits. Tomorrow, I'll catch a nest of live rabbits for you!"”
"Yes!" Yi 'er said bluntly. Thank you, Brother Zhu Zi! I want the white one!" After saying that, he took a big bite of the white rabbit in his hand.
Aunt Wang patted her head tenderly and picked up a chicken drumstick from the table and placed it in her bowl. She then picked up another drumstick and placed it in Little Fei's bowl."Xiao Fei, eat your food too. Let your uncle and the others drink slowly. We won't wait!”
"Thank you, Auntie!" Xiao Fei smiled and looked up.
After two rounds of wine, they were chatting happily. Zhu Zi and Xiao Fei listened attentively and occasionally chimed in.
On the other side, Aunt Wang was taking care of Yi 'er while Yu Lian chewed slowly and listened to Yang Ping's story about entering the mountain. When she heard that she had dug up several stalks of ginseng, she could not help but widen her eyes. Yang Ping blinked mischievously and said,"Sister, do you want it? I'll leave one for you, keep it for you…as a trump card?”
Amelia was embarrassed and angry, and the tips of her ears were red. She could not flare up in front of others, so she only pinched Yang Ping's leg fiercely under the table. Yang Ping dodged and touched Yi 'er. Seeing the two of them laughing, Yi 'er turned her head with a curious look on her face. In the end, she blinked her eyes and swallowed the rice before saying loudly,"Auntie, I know what they're talking about!”
