They were really happy to hear what the village chief's wife said. Half a rabbit was quite a lot to satisfy the family's cravings.
But when I thought about what I had promised before, I felt embarrassed again, but looking at the fat hare on the ground, I really couldn't say what I said when I refused.
"Um... I'm so embarrassed, Auntie! These are what Jin Yatou and her mother worked so hard to catch." Even though the Sun Tujia were thick-skinned, they were a little embarrassed, Qiqi Aiai said.
"If you don't want it... If you don't want it, I'll share it with others." Mrs. Hua smiled deliberately.
"No, hehe... Auntie has already said it, how dare I disobey! I want... I want..." The Sun Tu family member became anxious upon hearing this and said quickly.
Although the busy farming season has just ended, and the family has just seen the smell of meat, the already thin family members became even thinner after the busy farming season, even if they have to be thick-skinned.
Besides, she has always been thick-skinned.
Sun Tujia's anxious look successfully made everyone laugh, and all the embarrassing moments were gone.
"Okay, it's settled. Later, you all come to my house to carry rabbit meat." Then she looked at Xiaoxiao and Huahua, "You two girls will go too." Mrs. Hua added.
"Hey, thank you, auntie."
"Thank you, grandma, village chief"
When everyone heard that there was no one who was unhappy, they all quickly thanked me, including the two little girls, who were very grateful.
Originally, these hares were not caught by them, that is, the village chief's aunt Renyi, otherwise she wouldn't have dared to say anything if she didn't give them to them.
Here, Mrs. Liu looked at the two rabbits she had caught, gritted her teeth and said, "Auntie, why don't I take one out and share it with us."
Looking at Mrs. Liu's Hua, she nodded inwardly. She had a good heart at heart, but she was sobbing when she thought about the boys in her family.
As the saying goes, a young man can eat me to death, not to mention that the two eldest members of her family are also facing the time to say goodbye, so they are really in a hurry.
"No, these are enough." Mrs. Hua shook her head.
"That's right, what Auntie has here is enough for us to share. What's in Anai's family, thank you for your kindness."
Everyone in the same village is in a bad situation, and their families are having a hard time. The Liu family's sons are also really worried.
Mrs. Liu is also a cheerful person. Just now she felt that her aunt shared all the rabbit meat she caught so that everyone could eat it, and she was a little embarrassed for a moment.
After all, she also caught two.
Seeing that everyone was really not greedy, and thinking of his own situation, he was no longer polite and nodded immediately.
Two lively wild rabbits can still be sold for dozens of copper coins at the market, which is enough to feed the family for many days.
"Okay, I won't be polite to you anymore. You also know the situation of my family." Mrs. Liu then smiled.
Hearing this, everyone smiled kindly.
So what are you waiting for? I packed up, put the rabbit in the basket and hurried down the mountain.
Except for a few families who caught rabbits and went home, the others went straight to the village chief's house.
It was the best house in their village.
After the busy farming season, the land at home has been replanted, and it is not as busy as usual. At the moment, Mr. Hua and his son are busy doing carpentry work at home.
In addition to being a good farmer, Hua Chengtian also learned carpentry from his maternal grandfather. In his spare time, he would also take over jobs in the village or several surrounding villages. He didn’t earn much, but it was enough for his children. Earn enough to buy paper, ink, and pen, otherwise it would be really difficult to support two children in school with only the land at home.
The two people who were measuring wood in the yard watched the old woman (mother-in-law) and others excitedly open the door and come in. Everyone looked excited, which made the two people a little confused.
"Dad, please stop working and let Chengtian clean up these rabbits."
As soon as Mrs. Hua came in, she shouted to the two men under the shed by the west wall.
"Master, Dad, we caught a lot of rabbits." Xiao Si ran to the shed excitedly and pointed at the small basket on his back to show his father and master.
The father and son quickly put down their work. Hua Chengtian took the basket from his son and looked inside.
Needless to say, there are indeed rabbits, but there are a few little rabbits in the son's basket, hugging Huanshi and munching on grass.
Hua Chengtian couldn't help but smile, "Xiaosi, it's too young, it's not big enough to fit between the teeth."
"Dad, why are you so cruel? My sister said these rabbits are too small to be eaten." Xiaosi looked at his father in surprise and hurriedly protected the few rabbits in the basket.
Here, the old lady Hua led everyone to the yard and placed the basket on the ground.
"Okay, how old are you for teasing your son? Hurry up and skin these rabbits. I'm waiting to share them with everyone."
As he spoke, he took out two fat rabbits from the basket on his back. To the naked eye, they must have weighed more than ten kilograms.
Others also took out the rest, looking expectantly.
Their village lives on the edge of the mountains, but it is rare to catch live wild animals, so there are only a few people in the village who can skin them.
Good guy, looking at the six or seven big hares on the ground, even Hua Laohan, the village chief, couldn't help but lose his composure.
He walked quickly to the old woman and pointed, "Did you catch these?"
His eyes were full of disbelief.
The prey on the mountain is not easy to catch, even if the hunters in the village go up the mountain, they may not be able to catch so many. Looking at the women and children in the yard, it is not surprising that the old man Hua would be surprised.
"Why, you've brought it all back and you can still have a lie? Stop the ink stain and pack it up quickly." Old Mrs. Hua glared at the old man and gave him a look that said he would talk about it later.
Hua Chengtian has already gone back to his room to get tools. A knife specially used for peeling wild animals is much smaller and sharper than the kitchen knife used at home.
"Mom, tell me how to deal with it?" Hua Chengtian looked at the hare on the ground with a keen eye. Although he was as puzzled as his father, he has always been able to hold his anger.
I saw Mrs. Hua picking up two of them from the ground and pointing at the remaining four and "peeled them all."
Two children, five women and four are enough to share.
After understanding that Hua Chengtian didn't talk nonsense, he carried a few rabbits and went to the backyard. Old Man Hua hurriedly followed, but he didn't forget to bring a knife.
There are extra knives at home because the father and son want to improve the life of the family. When they are free, they go to the back mountain to visit. They bought these two knives for safety and for self-defense.
As the owner of this room, Mrs. Qi put down her things and quickly went to the kitchen to get some water. After a while, she brought the water out.
Everyone who comes is a guest and must be treated with courtesy.
"Come on, come on, drink some water first."
After working outside for so long, everyone was really thirsty. When Qi came out with water, they were not polite and started drinking.
Hua Jin took her younger brother and moved all the wimps out of the family, and then the two siblings were praised again by everyone.
They were sensible, well-taught, and so on. In short, they were all good words. The flowery old lady Qi kept smiling when she heard them.
While joking, the old lady Hua looked at the Sun Tu family and couldn't help but look towards the backyard, and said with a smile: "What, you can't help it?"
"Auntie, you still have a sharp eye. It's rare for me to see flesh, so I really can't help it, haha..." He laughed first.
"You! I dare say that if you are the thick-skinned person in our village, no one would dare to judge you as the second."
"You are complimenting me when you become an aunt. As the saying goes, if you are so shameless, you will eat a piece of meat. I won't be able to eat meat soon."
