Shh......h

I saw a colorful pheasant, limping towards a big tree next to it, and if you look closely, there are still blood stains on its legs.

I only heard Wang Laoshi whisper to Chu Yan and Tian: "You go over there, you go here, let's catch it with a back basket." ”

The three of them couldn't help but light their steps and copied from the three breads.

Suddenly, as if the pheasant had discovered something, it squeaked and scurried.

When it was too late, Chu Yan pounced sharply, and the back basket brush in her hand covered the pheasant.

The pheasant fluttered and screamed under the back basket, but could not escape.

"Oops, I got it, I'm so lucky today." Tian had a smile on his face.

Chu Yan was also very happy, she went up the mountain every day these days, and it was the first time she encountered wild meat: "But if this pheasant wasn't injured, we wouldn't have been able to catch it." ”

"It looks like it was bitten by some other wild thing." Wang Laoshi was also happy.

Although I have been eating meat a lot lately, it is all bought for money, but today it is free game, and the taste of this game is much better than pork.

"We've got something to eat today." Saying that, Chu Yan slowly opened a crack in the back basket, grabbed the pheasant, and with the help of Wang Laoshi and Tian, folded the rattan and tied the pheasant strongly.

By the time the three of them had dug up the yam and filled the back basket, it was already half the day, and it was almost time to go down the mountain.

At the foot of the mountain, there are more and more people in Geumsan Village and nearby villages.

The clucking of chickens in Wang Laoshi's back basket attracted the attention of the big guy.

"Yo, old stone, what good things did you get?" The speaker looked richer than the others and wrote, though he was dressed in coarse linen clothes, but there were no patches.

Wang Laoshi smiled and said: "Hello village chief, I was lucky today, I caught a pheasant, and stewed it at night to give you some to try." ”

It turned out that this person was Wang Fuchun, the village chief of Jinshan Village, who was about the same age as Wang Laoshi, and grew up barefoot together, and the relationship was not bad.

When the farm is not working, he is also like a big guy, going up the mountain to find mountain goods.

"No, no, no." Wang Fuchun waved his hand, "Your days are also tight, keep it to replenish your body." ”

In comparison, as the head of the village, his family is better off than other families in the village, and he doesn't take advantage of others.

"Look at what you're talking about, it's not a thing that costs money." Wang Laoshi said generously.

Wang Fuchun didn't speak again, his eyes turned to the side and fell on Chu Yan: "This is your daughter-in-law?" ”

"Hello Uncle Village Chief!" Chu Yan stood beside Tian and greeted him obediently.

"Hey, hey, he's a good boy, and your in-laws are also good people, so it's okay to live a good life." Wang Fuchun's years of experience can tell at a glance that Chu Yan is not bad.

The original Liu Dani is indeed capable, and most people in the village know it.

"Thank you, Uncle Village Chief, I will." Chu Yan has now integrated into the Wang family.

As for the original father, well, even if there are memories of the original body, Chu Yan has no intention of having anything to do with such a scumbag father.

A few people chatted as they walked, and when they arrived at the village, they each walked in the direction of their house.

Chu Yan learned about the relationship between some people in the village from their conversation.

When she arrived at home, Chu Yan first fetched a basin of well water, and said to the second elder: "Daddy, wash your hands, hurry up and rest." ”

Seriously, the average life expectancy of ancient people was short, and Wang Laoshi and Tian's fifty-year-old people are not young.

These days, climbing the mountain every day is very hard, and Chu Yan is afraid that their bodies will not be able to stand it.

"Tomorrow or you won't go up the mountain, you're too tired, rest at home." She was really afraid that the two of them would be physically exhausted.

Who knew that Tian didn't listen to persuasion at all: "This is not a job with more effort, don't other people's families all go up the mountain, why can't the two of us work?" Isn't this still carrying a stool when digging yams, not tired. ”

"Mother, if we tire you out, we will lose more than we gain." Chu Yan persuaded the old man for a long time, but Tian reluctantly agreed, only going once in the morning when it was cool, and being at home in the afternoon.

"That's done, it just so happens that the materials you bought a few days ago, I haven't done it yet, so I'll finish a few of our clothes at home."

As they spoke, the three of them had almost cleaned up the dirt on their bodies.

Wang Laoshi went to sort out the yams, and the yards were neat and clean.

Chu Yan is neatly cleaning up today's pheasant, and Tian's hand is helping.

It was at this moment that the fence gate was pushed open.

A woman dressed in navy blue linen walked in with a small basket: "Sister-in-law, we have grown a lot of vegetables these days, so I will send you some, I wanted to come a few days ago, but there is always no one in your house." ”

The person who came was none other than the Lin family, who was closest to the Wang family and had a lot of contacts on weekdays.

I saw a few green cucumbers and a handful of beans in her vegetable basket.

Chu Yan had chicken blood on her hands, and it was not easy to stand up and greet her, but she just called enthusiastically: "Hello aunt!" ”

Tian hurriedly got up to greet him.

Lin looked at Chu Yan in surprise: "Are you killing chickens?" ”

"But no, I went up the mountain today, and I ran into a wounded pheasant and caught it." Tian's tone was very happy.

Lin said enviously: "You are so lucky, looking at the Da Zhuang family, you are also a capable person, you can kill chickens at a young age, sister-in-law is so blessed." ”

"Auntie, sit down for a while, and when I'm ready, you can taste my craft." Chu Yan quickly chopped the pheasant into small pieces with both hands.

Lin didn't stay much, just put down the dishes and left.

Chu Yan took out some wild mountain mushrooms picked in the mountains and cleaned them quickly, prepared spices such as green onions, garlic, etc., and prepared to start stewing chicken.

Pure wild pheasant, no need to blanch at all, will not be fishy, simply stir-fry, add water and simmer for half an hour, when out of the pot, cut some more yam and put it in, stuffy for a while.

Chu Yan took two coarse porcelain bowls, scooped two full bowls of chicken and yam pieces, and added some chicken soup, ready to send them to the village chief's family and the Lin family.

The promise just now is not a lie, if you want to take root in this small mountain village, you must have a good relationship with your neighbors, after all, the Wang family is indeed too thin.

"Dad, go to the village chief's house!" It is more appropriate to socialize with the village chief's family, or the head of the family.

Don't underestimate the power of the village chief, it can be said that he is in charge of all the big and small things in the village, and when he can use it in the future.

"Hey, I'll go." It just so happened that Wang Laoshi had almost cleaned up the yams.

On the Lin family's side, Chu Yan and the Tian family went together.

It's been more than half a month, except for Shen Yulan, she is not familiar with other people in the village at all, and she doesn't know many people.

As the saying goes, distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, and when everyone needs a hand, it's not wrong to know more people.

After walking about 100 meters out, I saw a small yard gate open, and a few children were playing in the yard.

Chu Yan knocked on the door and asked, "Are your adults at home?" ”
