To be honest, Yang Ruoqing was also happy and relieved from the bottom of her heart.
This scene was watched by Zuo Junmo and Xu Mang who were standing next to them.
The two of them quietly exchanged glances, and their eyes seemed to be smiling and saying: How about it? Did we guess correctly? Tangyazi was in a low mood and depressed alone because Qing'er was not around.
The other person seemed to be saying: Indeed, seeing Qing'er, he suddenly changed from cloudy and rainy to bright and sunny...
…
After several people put these lively game animals into cages, they were divided into three parts, one for each of the three families.
Xu Mang and Zuo Junmo originally wanted to refuse politely. The reason why they were embarrassed to take away these wild animals was simple, because 70% of these things were hunted by Luo Fengtang, 20% by Xu Mang, and the remaining 10%. Hunted by Zuo Junmo and his son.
Among them, Zuo Junmo almost took credit for Zuo Jingling, because Zuo Jingling hunted 10% of them.
Zuo Jingling hunted a roe deer, but that roe deer was not the one that was carried down the mountain. The one Zuo Jingling hunted had already been eaten by everyone in the camp.
Faced with Xu Mang and Zuo Junmo's polite rejection, Yang Ruoqing said: "I know that your two families are not short of these game meats, but this is a hunt that everyone participates in together. The food is meant for everyone to participate. No matter what, you have to bring some." I’ll give it back to my family and friends to try.”
Luo Fengtang echoed Yang Ruoqing's words and said, "Qing'er is right, everyone has a good time, but having fun alone is not as good as having fun with everyone."
Xu Mang and Zuo Junmo looked at each other with a smile, and then Xu Mang took the lead in nodding.
"Okay, then take one back and give it to my father-in-law as a drink!"
Zuo Junmo also nodded.
Blacksmith Luo was smoking, drinking tea and talking at Sun's house. Hearing that Luo Fengtang and the others were back, Blacksmith Luo hurried back home.
Blacksmith Luo's eyes lit up when he saw the game in two large cages in the backyard. He looked around the cages for a while and was full of praise.
He asked the other children at home why they didn't come back.
Yang Ruoqing told Blacksmith Luo: "Dazhi, Xiao Qiao, Tuan Yuan Yuan, and Jin Ling. They will be back tomorrow morning. They just want to try spending the night in the camp!"
Everyone laughed. People like novelty, which is understandable.
Just like Blacksmith Luo himself, when he was young, he liked to guard the watermelons in the watermelon field in summer and sleep in the shop in the middle of the melon shed.
You can see the stars and the moon in the sky when you raise your head, but there are really many mosquitoes in the watermelon shed on summer nights, and you can catch a lot of them.
Blacksmith Luo invited Xu Mang and Zuo Junmo to drink tea in the front yard, while Luo Fengtang stayed in the backyard to pick up the roe deer, while Yang Ruoqing helped them.
Wang Cuilian glanced at the well in the backyard with a smile, then went into the kitchen to prepare for dinner.
While Luo Fengtang was picking up the roe deer, he kept talking to Yang Ruoqing about the things he encountered during his hunting trip into the mountains. Yang Ruoqing was also very interested in listening and would ask a few questions from time to time.
After it was done, Yang Ruoqing also told him about what happened at home in the past two days, mainly about the second bedroom. As she said that, the topic changed to tomorrow morning. Daan was going to have lunch and invited everyone to have a reunion dinner. I'm going to the capital the day after tomorrow.
Yang Huazhou and Xiaoan Yang Yongjin will also leave one after another. The plan for the year begins in the spring. It is the beginning of the year and everyone has to return to their posts and start working hard.
Including Yang Ruoqing and Luo Fengtang themselves...
After Da'an, Yang Huazhou and the others left, Luo Fengtang would also start their journey again.
Even if Uncle Wu and Daan leave home, they will always come home at a fixed time.
Da'an has a long way to go in the capital, but he is back safely during the New Year.
As for the fifth uncle, he is in Qing'an County, but he can take time to come back and stay for three to five days during the holidays.
So in comparison, once Luo Fengtang leaves, it's really hard to say when he will return. Therefore, the one who should really be sad is Yang Ruoqing.
However, Yang Ruoqing would never express these emotions, which would only arouse the negative emotions in Luo Fengtang's heart and make him immersed in such emotions.
He is going to the battlefield, which is a life-and-death battle. He cannot have too obvious weaknesses. Even if there are weaknesses, they must be covered up.
So the couple picked up the roe deer in the backyard. After cleaning it, Luo Fengtang asked Yang Ruoqing for his opinion: "Qing'er, this roe deer is huge. After cleaning, it weighs nearly 60 kilograms including meat and bones. Do you want to distribute it?"
Yang Ruoqing understood what Luo Fengtang meant. It was an old rule to send some to each room in the house, as well as to relatives and friends, so that everyone could have a taste of game.
But this time, Yang Ruoqing shook her head.
"I won't give it to each room this time. I will send a pair of front legs to my parents' house. When we invite everyone to the luncheon tomorrow, we will also add another dish."
I gave it to my parents' family to add vegetables, and every room in Lao Yang's family could eat roe deer meat, so I didn't have to give it to every household.
The other two hind legs are one from the Sun family and one from Zhoujiacun.
It was given to the Sun family because Yang Ruoqing wanted to honor Duke Ga.
Ga Gong is so old, and although his body and bones are still strong, at this age, he doesn't know what will happen tomorrow, and he may catch a cold one day and it will be difficult to get up.
Therefore, filial piety must come early.
In addition, the main reason for sending a roe deer leg to Zhoujiacun was because the last time Dazhi and Xiao Qiao got married, cousin Luo Daye and Zhou Wang’s whole family came over to congratulate them.
Not only were the gifts given generously, but Xiao Qiao was also given money to meet.
In addition to those, Dazhi and Xiao Qiao were also solemnly invited to visit Zhoujia Village. When they went, they set off firecrackers to welcome them, and prepared clothes and fabrics for Xiao Qiao as well as money for the visit.
When we were leaving, the whole family came out to see them off again and set off firecrackers.
All the etiquette was done very well. Even though Dazhi was from the Luo family, Luo Dae and the others treated Dazhi completely as his grandnephew and treated Xiao Qiao as his grandnephew and daughter-in-law.
Yang Ruoqing saw all these things and remembered them in her heart.
She is not a fool. If someone treats her children so grandly, she will definitely reciprocate the favor.
This is one of them, and the other is to send a big roe deer hind leg to Zhoujiacun, and ask Blacksmith Luo to send it there.
This big brother likes to visit relatives at his sister's house the most.
It would be nice to let him take a rare game like roe deer legs to visit relatives, which would give him face. It would also be nice to let him experience the joy and sense of accomplishment of giving it away.
"Okay, then just follow Qing'er's arrangements, and we'll eat the rest at home."
Luo Fengtang said, "However, I only eat one meal at night. This kind of game is not good to eat all the time, and it is easy to get angry."
So he chopped up the roe deer meat at home as arranged by Yang Ruoqing, and put aside what he had eaten at night. The rest was left to Yang Ruoqing to process, pickled with salt and left to be eaten later...
