There was a burst of cheers from the children in the yard, and it was still difficult to see some meat in these days. The Han family is not bad, Yunxue occasionally goes into the mountains to hunt, and she can get some things back, and these little guys can follow to satisfy their hunger.

"Xue'er, you're back, my mother is worried about death." A woman in her thirties came out of the house, with a big belly, and it looked like she would be at least eight or nine months old. This woman has a good face, a better temperament, and a gentle and elegant appearance, not like a farmer's daughter-in-law at all.

Yun Xue looked at her mother, and admired again in her heart, her mother is really a great beauty. I just don't know, how did I follow my father. "Mother, I got a lot of good things back, now, we can eat something good. The rabbit meat can't be eaten, so I'll leave it to these small ones to eat, and there's a pheasant, I'll stew some soup for my mother. ”

Liu looked at the eldest daughter in front of him, at the age of fourteen, it was a good time for Fanghua to be beautiful, but because the family was poor, he couldn't dress up well at all. Not only that, but because her husband is not at home, this eldest daughter has to do everything, and she is even more capable than a boy.

"Xue'er, you're tired, let Yunlin and them clean up. Yunni is also very skilled in cooking, you just rest and let them cook. Liu held his waist with one hand, and with the other he plucked the tiny twigs from his daughter's hair. Go inside and freshen up, your hair is messed up. ”

"Eldest sister, you go into the house and rest, and I'll cook the dinner in the evening. I'll give you a taste of my craft today. Yun Ni continued her mother's words.

Yun Xue smiled, "Okay, it's up to us Yunni's skills today." Yunlin, Yunzhen, you two help your sister a little. Yun Xue looked back at the twin brothers.

"Eldest sister, don't worry, what else is this? We've seen you do this a lot, and we'll do it a long time ago. Yun Lin hurriedly agreed.

The children of the poor are in charge of the family early, and these younger siblings in the family are all sensible, obedient, and very capable. Yun Xue knew that they were all children who could work, smiled, and then went into the house. I went out this morning, and I didn't come back until now, and Yun Xue was really tired.

Yun Xue scooped some water from the water tank in the outer ground and washed her hands and face. Then I went back to Westinghouse, found my comb, and combed my hair well. When you go into the mountains, you can't avoid getting leaves and branches.

Outside, they brought back the bear bile that the eldest sister had brought back, tied it with a thread, and hung it in a cool place under the eaves to dry. The bear's paw is handled in the same way. The bear skin, Yun Zhen nailed it to the board of the warehouse backwards, and when it was dry, it could be taken to the place where the skin was cooked to be cooked, and this bear skin could be sold for some money.

Yun Lin took the dagger, disemboweled the two hares, stripped off the fur, and handed it to Yun Zhen. Then he disposed of the pheasant as well. "Eldest sister, I've got it all done, you can take it and wash it, and you can get it as much as you like at night."

Yunni took a big basin out and put all the things that the eldest brother had handled into the basin. "This rabbit is quite big, let's make one stewed potato to eat at night, and I'll pickle the other one and save it for a while. This pheasant, let's give my mother stewed soup to drink. Those bear meat, let's marinate them too, the eldest sister can't get such good things every time she goes up the mountain. Daddy is coming back soon, so keep Daddy back to eat. ”

Everyone has no opinion, and it's good to be able to eat meat tonight.

Yunni quickly processed all the meat, and then picked up the kitchen knife to chop the rabbit open.

"Big sister, let's come on, your energy is small, and the meat that will be chopped out will have bones and slag when the time comes." Yun Zhen took the knife in Yun Ni's hand, and then the knife fell in his hand, and he chopped the rabbit into small pieces very neatly.

"It's still the second brother who has energy, if this is me, it will really take a lot of effort." Yun Ni smiled and watched Yun Zhen work.

"Eldest sister, that's called strength, I can't do it yet, I have to practice more in the future." Yun Zhen chopped the meat, and then handed the kitchen knife to his sister. "Okay, I can't help you then, I'll help you make a fire."

Over there, Yunlin had already brought in Chai He and made a fire. The siblings were busy in the kitchen.

Liu sat in the courtyard and watched the two little ones play there. Liu listened to the movement in the kitchen, and his heart was also very satisfied. Although life at home is a little worse, the children are very sensible. Such a day, even if it is a little harder, I feel comfortable.

"Mother, when my father comes back this time, we won't let him go to the mountain field and water field again. We're getting older, and we don't have to go out and work hard. Yun Xue came out of the house, took a stool and sat opposite her mother.

"Alas, that's what my mother thinks too. But there are many children in the family, and we don't have a few acres of land, if your father doesn't go out to work, what can we point to live? Liu sighed, how could she want her husband to go out to play the platoon, it was to exchange her life for money.

"If it weren't for my illness and the family borrowed a lot of money, my father wouldn't have to go to Anton this year." Yun Xue said with some frustration. When she first arrived, although her life was saved, it also cost a lot of money to treat her illness. The family didn't have so much money, so they went out to borrow it, and in order to repay the money, my father went to put it back again this year.

"Okay, silly girl, how many of our people by the Yalu River don't eat steaks? Look at our village, aren't there several of them going out? Liu smiled gently, but between his eyebrows, there was a slight sorrow. Does Cher remember the old days? We were out there, wandering around. Wasn't the days of that time more bitter than they are now? Now that we have our own home, our family will work hard for a few years, and when the time comes, we will save a few acres of land, and we won't need your father to go out again. ”

Yun Xue nodded, in the memory of the original owner, there was indeed a period of wandering around. The family will be back here for about five or six years. In the past few years, the good life has been stable. "Mother, why didn't my father learn carpenter from my grandfather? Look at my uncle, people are doing very well now. ”

"I heard your father say that he was so naughty when he was young, he was simply idle. Foolish in the mountains and water all day long, unwilling to learn the craft from your grandfather. Your father had great strength and good water quality, and when he was fourteen years old, he went to the mountains to work. When he was fifteen years old, he followed the family to Anton. After that, I wandered outside, and it wasn't until I had you that the family came back. Liu sat there and talked to her daughter about the past. I remember when we first met, the tall and heroic man suddenly made me secretly promise that I would never want to see other men again.

As soon as Yun Xue looked at her mother's appearance, she knew that her mother probably thought of her father. I have always wondered what kind of beautiful love a woman like my mother has with my father. However, my mother and father never mentioned these things, even my father's experience of wandering outside. Although Yun Xue was curious, there was no way.

"Mother, are you about to give birth? Are you looking for a midwife? We are too remote here, if we don't hire a midwife in advance, it will be very troublesome. "In their village, there are forty or fifty families, and there are no midwives. Instead, they had to go to sixteen ditches, which were thirty miles apart, and there was a midwife surnamed Wei.

"Not yet, my mother has given birth to such children as you, it's okay. Your dad will be back in a few days, just ask him to invite him when the time comes. Liu didn't blame her daughter for meddling. Ordinary people, unmarried girls, are not good at asking about these children. But the Han family is different, the eldest daughter has been worried about family affairs since she was a child, and the Liu family didn't think that her daughter said anything, her daughter cared about herself.

Yun Xue nodded, "Well, my dad is about to come back." He's been out for three months this time, right? ”

"Isn't it? I left on April 12, it's July 27, and I haven't come back yet. Fortunately, our family has less land, just two or three acres, and it doesn't take much effort, if there is more land, I'm afraid that any work will be delayed. Liu stroked her stomach and carefully calculated the days her husband would leave home.

The smell of food wafted out of the house, Yun Xue smelled it, and couldn't help laughing, "Don't say it, my eldest sister's cooking skills are really good, this smell is quite fragrant." Mother, let's go into the house, it's time to eat later. By the way, when I came back today, I saw the eldest uncle, and she asked me for a rabbit, but I didn't give it to her. In the evening, send some to my grandmother's side, or my grandmother will have to pick on the thorns again. ”

"Okay, then send it over for one night. Your grandma is an old man after all, and it was right to send some food in the past. As for your uncle and third uncle, don't pay attention to them in the future. All the young men in their family are at home, and they are really shameless and skinless to ask you for things with a shy face. "The Liu family actually doesn't have a good impression of these people in the in-laws' family.

"Mother, eldest sister, third and fourth, the food is ready, hurry up and eat in the house." Yunni shouted in the room.

Yun Xue helped her mother, called out to her two younger brothers, and went into the house to eat together. There is nothing good for dinner, one person has a cake with bud rice noodles, there is no more, and if it is not enough, drink porridge. In addition, it's just a pickle or something, but fortunately, there is a rabbit brought back by Yunxue tonight, plus a lot of potatoes, and stewed a full pot. Yunni took out some in two bowls, "Second brother, give these to our grandmother." ”

Yun Zhen took it and walked away a little reluctantly.

You can't eat all of them at once. Yunni found another small basin, put a small basin on it, and brought it to the table. The rest is put in the cupboard and saved for tomorrow.

When Yun Zhen came back, everyone sat on the kang together and ate deliciously.
