Xie Rongzhao and Xie Rongen still went hunting together in the mountains. With Xie Rongzhao around, their luck had always been good.
This time they did not go to the cabin. Instead, they went to the river to deal with some pheasants, and then walked some distance east and entered a cave.
This cave is not deep, at most about two feet deep, and if you are an adult, you cannot straighten up when you enter.
Xie Rongen brought in some dry firewood and started making beggar chicken.
Xie Rongzhao brought oil paper in his backpack, and the two of them wrapped it in several layers, finally wrapping it with a layer of leaves, and then began to move the fire.
The firewood that was used to light the fire was moved aside. Xie Rongen dug a hole with a shovel, stuffed the wrapped pheasant into it, covered it with soil, and moved the fire over again.
Xie Rongen built a simple stove with some half bricks and stones, then put an old pot on it and added the water they just got from the river.
Xie Rongzhao looked at several eggs aside. They were all washed by the river and were now placed on clean leaves.
"Let's boil the eggs first and then the rice."
Xie Rongzhao nodded and reminded him to add cold water to the pot and add a little salt.
By the time Xie Xiaolang followed the smell and found it, the rice porridge was almost cooked, but the beggar chicken was not ready yet.
Xie Xiaolang was so greedy that he kept swallowing his saliva and rubbed his belly from time to time.
Since being noticed by Xie Rongzhao a few years ago, Xie Xiaolang's living standard has been greatly improved.
The most obvious thing is that he has grown taller.
He was still thin, a little dark, and looked a little malnourished, but only he knew that he was obviously full of oil and water in his stomach these days.
The wild eggs had been cooked a long time ago, and because they were afraid they would get cold, they were kept beside the fire to keep them warm.
Xie Rongen looked Xie Xiaolang up and down: "Go and wash your hands, and dinner will be served when you come back."
Xie Xiaolang smiled so brightly that he showed his big white teeth, nodded and went out.
Xie Rongen actually feels sorry for this clan brother, but what can he do?
Although their family's life in Xiejiazhuang was not bad, there were still four scholars in the family, which meant that even though they looked at the scenery from the outside, they were actually struggling to make ends meet.
If Xie Rongen could bring a pheasant back, he would definitely be able to coax Grandpa and Grandma into a happy mood. After all, this is meat!
But Xie Rongen was reluctant to take it back. He took back a lot of prey each time, but there was very little meat that could fit into the mouths of his mother-in-law and brother.
In this case, it would be better to just fill your own stomach first and then bring them something ready-made later.
If you eat it secretly, no one else will know.
He learned this method from his father.
Xie Rongzhao is young and has a small appetite. He only eats one chicken wing at a time and a few bites of meat.
It's the same this time.
A total of eleven wild eggs were collected.
Each of the three children ate one of them first, and the remaining eight naturally had to make other plans.
Xie Rongen stuffed another one into Xie Xiaolang's arms: "Eat secretly at night when you are hungry, just don't let anyone find out."
Xie Xiaolang has become familiar with them, and now he is no longer polite, but he is still grateful to repay them in other ways.
For example, helping them collect firewood, or picking up mushrooms and sending them over, etc.
Because Xie Xiaolang had collected some of Xie Rongen's old clothes before, and everyone in the Xie clan knew about it, so he did what he could, and Xie Changgui couldn't say anything unpleasant.
Xie Xiaolang ate a few pieces of chicken and drank two bowls of rice porridge, which made his stomach full.
Xie Xiaolang did it because he had to work a lot. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to eat so much to feel full.
Xie Rongen removed the bones from the remaining roast chicken, leaving only the chicken and chicken skin, and then divided it into two parts.
He wanted to take one portion back to his grandma. Dad saw meat every day in the store, so he didn't need these pieces of meat. The other portion was for his second uncle's wife.
Among the three of them, Xie Rongen ate the most.
There is no way, he is the oldest, tallest, and strongest, and his appetite must be larger than the average person.
Xie Rongrong spent the whole day embroidering flowers in the house. When the sun set to the west, she saw Xie Rongen returning with Xie Rongrong in his arms, talking and laughing along the way.
"Humph, I don't know what magic trick the little bitch used to coax the fourth brother into spinning!"
Xie Rongrong was jealous, and she also wanted her brother to protect her.
Xie Rongzhao sat on the threshold in a daze, his chubby face supported by his two chubby hands, looking cute and cute.
Xie Rongrong noticed that the second aunt was taking Sister-in-law Wang to the kitchen, so she boldly came over.
"Sister Zhao, what did you do today?"
Xie Rongzhao was thinking about how to make money when he was suddenly interrupted. He was a little unhappy. When he looked up and saw this cousin, he became defensive in his eyes.
"It's just for fun."
Xie Rongrong didn't believe it: "Are you just playing? Fourth brother used to often catch prey, why didn't he catch it today?"
Xie Rongrong thought they must have eaten her secretly on the mountain, so she deliberately got closer to her to smell the smell of meat.
Xie Rongzhao is not that stupid.
The three of them had picked a lot of wild fruits before eating meat, which were sour and sweet. After the meal, they rinsed their mouths first, then ate the wild fruits, and finally went to the river to wash their hands, so that no one could smell it. No taste.
In addition, when they went down the mountain, they also dug some bamboo shoots, and now they had a refreshing fragrance of bamboo.
"We didn't go hunting today. My fourth brother took me to dig bamboo shoots, and we brought back a lot of firewood. Does my second sister also want to dig bamboo shoots? I'll call you tomorrow!"
Xie Rongzhao did it on purpose.
She knew that Xie Rongrong would not be willing to do such strenuous work.
Sure enough, when Xie Rongrong heard about digging bamboo shoots, she looked disgusted.
She wouldn't be happy about it!
Thinking that they had just seen the fourth brother pour out seven or eight bamboo shoots from the basket on his back, it would be enough for them to eat two meals.
"You are six years old. You can no longer run out all the time. You will be called a wild girl. You should still learn more about female celebrities at home. My mother-in-law said that it is good for girls to be female celebrities when they marry in the future. Talent will not be underestimated.”
Xie Rongzhao naturally sneered at this kind of rhetoric.
In my previous life, I had never seen the daughter of a wealthy family. She was powerful and powerful. Even if she couldn't even split silk thread, she was still held in high esteem by her husband's family.
"Oh, second sister, please study hard. I'm still young, so don't worry."
Xie Rongrong choked with anger at her words. How could someone be so unscrupulous?
"Hmph! You've been running around all day and you're covered in dirt and dirty. If you're called a wild girl in the future, I don't want to talk to you. I'm going to Fucheng in the future, and I'm going to marry the big man in Fucheng!"
