Chapter 29: A small courtyard full of life

At lunch, Hemai simply put down two handfuls of rice, cooked porridge, but woke up the dough in the basin, thinking that when Rokuro came back in the evening to eat oil cakes.

Usually a few days without a single person in the courtyard, today just one day came three times, I think the days after I think it will not be too peaceful.

He Mai took a sip of gruel, and thought calmly, she welcomes well-meaning people, if they come like Liu Er Mazi and Dong Pozi, they have to think of a way to cure it!

In the evening, Yang Liulang came back with the results of the battle.

"I'm back!" As soon as Yang Liulang entered the door, he said loudly.

He Mai was dusting the bed in the house, and hurriedly greeted him out, "Are you back?" ”

Outside the door, Yang Liulang was carrying two hares in his hands, one of which was still kicking on his legs, and he was still alive.

The three pheasants were tied to Yang Liulang's back, and in a cloth bag around his waist, there seemed to be something moving.

That's a lot of stuff! He Mai looked at the pheasant and hare in surprise, "It's a lot of harvest." ”

"Well, keep this rabbit, I'll catch a few more in a few days, and we'll raise some rabbits in the future." Rokuro Road.

He Maiqi said: "Can you raise wild rabbits too?" I've heard that hares are very fierce and will hit their heads against their cages. ”

"Make a circle and weave soft grass around it, and it's all right." Yang Liulang went into the stove room and found a bamboo cage, put the live rabbit in the cage, turned his head and said to He Mai: "Can you help me boil some hot water?" ”

He Mai responded, hurriedly lit the firewood in the stove and began to pull the bellows, and after a while, a large pot of water was boiled.

In this kung fu, Yang Liulang has already taken out all the prey, in addition to the hare and pheasant, there is also a milk dog in the cloth bag!

The little milk dog was completely black, it should have just been born, and the eyes were narrowed by a small slit, so sleepy that he couldn't lift his head.

"This little one! Did you catch it? When He Mai saw this little thing, he liked it very much.

"Well, if you meet it on the mountain, if it is a little late, I am afraid that it will be taken away by the eagle." Yang Liulang looked at He Mai with a happy look on his face, and smiled slightly, "This puppy hasn't been weaned yet, and his usual diet needs to be fine." When you grow up, you can eat anything. ”

He Mai smiled: "Okay, I know! When this little guy grows up, you train him to be a hunting dog! ”

"Naturally," Yang Liulang smiled gently, "you can also help us take care of the home in the future." ”

Yang Liulang didn't even breathe when he entered the house, so he hurriedly packed up the prey and poured boiling water on the pheasant's body, and most of the chicken feathers fell.

"Let's stew this chicken at night." Yang Liulang said, "I also picked some mushrooms and fungus in my pocket, can you see it?" ”

"I saw it," He Mai quickly ran out of the stove room and took the cloth bag, poured the mushrooms and fungus in it into the basin, and smiled crookedly: "This is a good thing, it is very delicious to stew chicken!" ”

Yang Liulang smiled: "Aren't all the things you make delicious?" ”

He Mai pursed his lips and smiled: "It's good if you like to eat." ”

The two of them were busy in the stove room, Yang Liulang skinned the rabbit, He Mai had already chopped the chicken into pieces, the hot oil met the chicken, the pot crackled a lively sound, covered the pot and simmered for a while, the chicken became a burnt yellow color, and the aroma came out.

When the fire was boiling, water was added to the pot, and mushrooms and fungus were stewed, and some soup came out of the wheat.

The porridge at noon also contained some rice grains, and some chicken soup was added at this time, which was hot and fragrant, and He Mai hesitated for a while, looking at the little milk dog humming at the foot of the bed, and felt that it was a waste to give the dog food that this person could not eat.

Yang Liulang came in after packing up his prey, and when he saw Hemai wanting to feed but was reluctant, he said: "Hey, I'm afraid this little guy has been hungry for a long time, so let him eat something good today, and Ming'er will start to soak some cornmeal in hot water." ”

The little milk dog was really hungry for a long time, crawled out of the cloth nest, shook his head and ate the food cleanly, and almost ate the rice bowl.

After eating, the little milk dog climbed to the feet of the wheat very humanely, and showed its belly on all sides, and this cute appearance was very much liked by the wheat, pinching its two paws and shaking it gently.

"This little thing can be bought with a meal," Yang Liulang shook his head with a smile, seeing that He Mai didn't understand, and said: "It shows its belly to trust you." ”

He Mai suddenly, looked at the coquettish little thing under his feet, and smiled, "Let's call it Xiao Hei in the future, it's so small and black, isn't it?" ”

She teased Xiao Hei with her fingers, causing Xiao Hei to hold her fingers and gnaw around.

Yang Liulang tilted his head sideways, thinking to himself, when Xiao Hei grows up, he is afraid that he will be about the same height as He Mai when he stands up.

The dinner for the two was very rich, a fragrant pot of mushroom fungus stewed chicken, plus a pot of cakes sticking on the side of the pot, the aroma got into the cakes, the hot dough cakes were oily, fragrant and soft, and it was just right to eat with chicken.

The small courtyard, which was a little cold during the day, became lively when Yang Liulang came back in the evening. Although there are only two people in total, the steaming food on the dining table and the fluffy little black at the feet of the kang add a bit of life to this small courtyard.

He Mai's heart is warm, and he feels that although such a day is dull, it is warm and interesting.

When I slept at night, there was a new problem, and this little black seemed to recognize He Mai as its owner, and he had to lie down in the cloth under He Mai's kang nest, and he refused to take it away.

But there is a cover of Liulang next to the kang, but Xiao Hei is here to occupy the magpie's nest.

He Mai reprimanded a few words with a straight face, and Xiao Hei was reluctantly pulled by the cloth nest and moved to the other side.

Xiao Hei's soft snoring sounded, and the room was quiet without the noise.

He Mai was afraid of making a noise to Yang Liulang, so he turned over slightly, but heard him ask: "Are you still used to being at home today?" ”

"Habit," He Mai whispered, "everything is fine. ”

"I saw that a lot of clothes were washed in the yard, and the beds were dusted, but you don't have to do such menial work. I'll just do it myself when I get back. What's more, when I went up the mountain today, I thought for a moment, I really shouldn't have left you alone at home on the second day of the wedding. ”

Yang Liulang's voice paused, and then sounded slightly apologetic, "It's because I didn't think it through, I'm sorry." ”

He Mai was silent and replied softly, "No need to ...... Anyway...... Anyway, we are not a real couple, not to mention that you take care of me like this, and I should do some housework. ”

Yang Liulang didn't answer again, and after a while, he whispered to go to bed early, and there was no other sound in the room.
