Xi Wanli didn't insist, let Huanxi take the bucket away, and muttered while brushing his sweaty hair: "It's too hot this day." ”

And the weather in Province Z is also very different from the city B where he is used to living, hot and cold are still secondary, the key is that the air humidity here is much greater than that of City B, and it is especially uncomfortable when sweating.

Huanxi frowned, turned around and found a towel, soaked it in well water and wrenched it and handed it to Xi Wanli, "Wipe it, it should be more comfortable." ”

Xi Wanli took it and rubbed it up.

Huanxi was about to enter the house when he asked, "Speaking of which, do you have prey on the mountains here?"

was stunned for a moment, then his eyes lit up, and he looked back at Xi Wanli and said, "Brother Wanli, can you hunt?"

Xi Wanli also seemed to realize something, raised his eyebrows and said: "When I was very young, my father threw me into the mountains, and if I didn't know how to hunt, I would have starved to death." ”

For a moment, Xi Wanli felt that his whole face was glowing with joy.

"Really, that's great, we'll go up the hill when you're done. Huanxi said excitedly.

She knew from her happy memories that although Province Z is hilly and does not really have deep mountains and old forests, there are common prey such as rabbits and pheasants, and occasionally I have heard of wolves and bears.

Seeing Huan Xi laughing, Xi Wanli couldn't help but laugh too, "Okay." ”

Not long after, Song Erzhu and Song Weiguo both came out, Xi Wanli nodded at Huanxi, and went to work.

Huanxi began to prepare for hunting in the mountains, and there were two military kettles at home, one was brought back by Song Erzhu from the army before, and the other was brought back by Song Bao's family this time. In addition, Song Baojia himself has one, and Xi Wanli also has one, which is more than enough.

Then, Huanxi retrieved some rusty trap tools from the utility room. After thinking about it, she found two more baskets, and when she went up the mountain, she could pick some fungus and wild vegetables by the way, and if she encountered wild fruits, she could also pick some, and she could also cut some grass for the sheep to eat.

At three o'clock, Xi Wanli came back from the field, and saw such a ready joy, thinking that the little girl was probably hungry, he couldn't help but be a little funny.

Huanxi was supposed to go with him, but was stopped by Song Bao's family.

"If you hunt, you have to go deep into the mountains, the mountain road is already difficult to walk, you can't let us carry another one of you when the time comes, right?" Song Baojia is not worried about the danger on the mountain, although I heard the older generation say that there was a wolf cry on the mountain in the back, but there is no one who has really seen a wolf, and I have not heard of anyone going up the mountain to have an accident. As for the bears, those guys occasionally go down the mountain to eat pigs, but they are afraid of people, and they are really not dangerous. But going up the mountain is a real hard work, if nothing else, Huanxi's physical strength is not qualified, he neither wants this child to be a drag, nor does he want her to be strong.

Huanxi knew that the eldest brother was right, so no matter how reluctant he was, he still nodded.

Seeing the little girl's wilting appearance, Xi Wanli looked a little unbearable, and wanted to say that he could carry her several times, but he still swallowed it back under the stern gaze of Song Baojia.

On the way up the mountain, Xi Wanli glanced at Song Baojia with some doubts, "Why don't you seem to be happy to go to the mountain? Could it be that the mountain here is very dangerous?"

Song Baojia glanced at him, "I'm not unhappy to go to the mountain, I'm not happy to go to the mountain with you." ”

Xi Wanli immediately raised his eyebrows when he heard this, "What do you mean?" Although he didn't have that kind of mind at all in front of a little girl, but Song Baojia was so defensive of him, he subconsciously became unhappy.

Song Baojia didn't even look at him, "You should ask yourself, you always ignore the female soldiers in the army when they sell you well, and what do you look like when you are happy?"

To be honest, he had never seen such a tame Xi Wanli. Yes, tame. In front of his sister's joy, Xi Wanli gave him the feeling of being tame.

"You're thinking too much, is it okay to be happy or a child?" Xi Wanli suddenly cried and laughed.

This seems to make a lot of sense, but ...... Song Baojia pursed his lips, it is not impossible for a little girl as big as Huanxi in the army, but in his opinion, Xi Wanli is not a person who is patient with children.

Of course, the reason why Song Baojia was wary of Xi Wanli was not because he was dissatisfied with Xi Wanli. I don't think it's too early to talk about such things—in fact, where does the countryside come from? If conditions allow, everyone wants to book a good son-in-law for their daughter, even if her daughter is still in swaddling clothes.

As far as Xi Wanli is concerned, Song Baojia still thinks that the other party is quite suitable to be a sister-in-law, but helplessly, Xi Wanli has a troublesome father.

Even if the other party is their boss, Song Baojia still thinks that Xi Wanli's father, Xi Zhangji, is not a very good person to deal with. As the regiment commander, he cares for his subordinates, and is undoubtedly a good boss who loves soldiers like children, but he is extremely strict with his children.

Looking at Brother Xi Wanli's marriage choice, it is not difficult to see what Xi Zhangji's expectations for his daughter-in-law are. Although he thinks that it is good for his sister to be happy, no matter how good she is, she is only from an ordinary peasant family, and her family background has no bonus to her.

Of course, Song Baojia felt that he was thinking a little far, maybe it was groundless. But he felt that it was better to think about this kind of thing earlier. Xi Wanli, this kid is a kid who likes to go against his father, but what he does has nothing to do with him, but his sister must not be a bargaining chip in his hands.

Song Baojia didn't know that Xi Wanli, who would be there, was thinking about one thing - let Huanxi be his daughter-in-law...... Doesn't seem bad?

Little did he know at the time that this joking idea would play a decisive role in his life.

And Song Baojia didn't know that what he said made Xi Wanli care more about Huanxi.

When the two came down from the mountain, Huanxi was already waiting at the door, and when he saw the prey that the two were carrying, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he rushed over and said, "Wow, big brother, you are so powerful! This is a hare, isn't it? And this pheasant is so fat, this is ...... Ducks?"

"It's a mallard. Xi Wanli bent his eyes and smiled: "This thing doesn't have much meat, but the soup is very fresh." ”

Song Baojia frowned imperceptibly, but Huanxi didn't pay attention to the abnormality of his expression, squatting down to observe the prey in their hands.

After looking at it for a long time, Huanxi couldn't help but wonder: "How did you catch these prey?" It didn't look like they were caught in a trap, and there were no obvious wounds on their bodies.

Speaking of this, Xi Wanli was proud, and his flying eyebrows and eyes became more and more handsome.
