Ma Dahua could see better than her mother-in-law. Not to mention her husband, her two sons were among the best in the army. They were just going up to the mountains to hunt. What could really happen?
Although her husband Qin Feng retired from the army long ago, he has not neglected to exercise in recent years. Compared with his peers, his body is five to ten years younger. If he encounters any danger, her husband will be fine if anything happens to him.
Qin Xiaoxiao stayed at home and had nothing to do, her eyes were dazed, but Ma Dahua couldn't stand it anymore, so she pulled her into the house to help make clothes before she became energetic.
Qin Xiaoxiao didn't know how to make clothes, so Ma Dahua taught her patiently. Not to mention, Qin Xiaoxiao was good at making clothes. The cloth she cut out according to the pattern given by Ma Dahua turned out to be decent, and was sewn with Ma Dahua's skillful hands. One piece of clothing is made.
Looking at the clothes made with half of his own efforts, Qin Xiaoxiao's blood boiled and he wished he could cut all the cloth in the space to make clothes.
On this day, Qin Xiaoxiao was busy from morning to night with undiminished enthusiasm. He was stunned to make clothes for Mrs. Qin and Qin Aiguo, and even made a pair of Qin Ye's pants.
Ma Dahua was not upset that most of the family's fabrics had been destroyed. She followed her behind her and stepped on the sewing machine with a smile. She was still in the mood to let Qin Xiaoxiao try it out for herself.
At night, Qin Xiaoxiao lived in the main room. Qin Aiguo and Qin Xiaoxiao surrounded Old Mrs. Qin in the middle. Qin Xiaoxiao even stretched out his hand to hold Old Mrs. Qin before she would sleep.
Qin Aiguo on the other side was not willing to be weak. When Qin Xiaoxiao was about to fall asleep, he also stretched out his big hand to his old wife's bed.
Of course, Qin Xiaoxiao didn't know that her father was jealous and competing with her for favor, otherwise Qin Xiaoxiao would have to laugh at Qin Aiguo.
In the middle of the night, there was a knock on the door of the Qin family. Qin Xiaoxiao was immediately startled, rolled to the ground, put on his shoes, picked up the wooden stick standing at the door, and rushed out.
Qin Aiguo put on his shoes calmly and was still in the mood to comfort his old wife.
"You can sleep in your bed. Boss and the others are probably back. If you need anything, we'll talk about it tomorrow."
Hearing what her husband said, Mrs. Qin lay back down with peace of mind and no longer cared about outside matters.
Qin Aiguo walked slowly to the courtyard. Ma Dahua had already gotten up and was standing next to Qin Xiaoxiao. Neither of them opened the door, but stood in the courtyard waiting for Qin Aiguo.
"Master." Qin Xiaoxiao turned around and called Qin Aiguo in a low voice.
Qin Aiguo gave her a comforting look and shouted, "Who is it?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Feng's voice came in, "Dad, open the door, it's me."
When Qin Xiaoxiao heard Qin Feng's voice, he was relieved, threw the stick aside, and quickly opened the door.
Qin Aiguo looked at his eldest granddaughter's back with satisfaction, smiling so hard that he couldn't even see the gap.
Welcoming the father and son into the door, Ma Dahua took a look and saw that her husband and son were fine, then she turned to the kitchen with relief.
Qin Xiaoxiao watched Qin Feng, Qin Ye, and Qin Wei dragging two large sacks through the door, quickly closed the door, and followed the three of them to the yard, "What is this?"
Qin Feng wiped his sweat and said with a smile: "I caught five wild boars. It was difficult to deal with them at night, so I put them at the village headquarters first. These are the pheasants and rabbits your brother caught.
Your second brother was lucky enough to catch a dozen hares today, just the size of his family.
Your eldest brother caught five pheasants and two roe deer, all of them were brought back. There will be no shortage of meat at home this winter, so go ahead and make some. "
Ordinarily, the roe deer should be returned to the village and everyone should share it together, but during the winter hunting season, everyone's default is that everyone will share the wild boar, and whoever catches the others gets it. It makes you unable to do it.
But even so, don't catch too many. One or two is fine. If there are more, the villagers will have objections.
Therefore, every year when hunting, Qin Feng always sticks to the bottom line to get prey to his family, so as not to make others jealous, but also to get the maximum benefit for himself.
The three of them went into the house and washed their hands. Instead of going to Mrs. Qin's house, they sat down in the main room and talked to Qin Aiguo about going up the mountain while waiting for Ma Dahua's meal.
Qin Xiaoxiao didn't say anything, just sat aside and listened. Anyone who looked at this well-behaved person would have to say, "This is an honest kid."
Ma Dahua was quick with her hands and feet, and soon she brought out three large bowls of noodles.
"It's too late. The pancakes in the pot are hard. It's too troublesome to heat up the food after the pancakes are heated. You can just eat the noodles. Mom rolled them specially for you in the evening."
The hot noodles are topped with spicy pepper, egg and pork minced marinade, which is so fragrant that it makes your mouth water.
Qin Xiaoxiao licked his lower lip and looked at Ma Dahua pitifully.
Ma Dahua nodded Qin Xiaoxiao's forehead in a funny way, "There's more, wait."
Qin Xiaoxiao was overjoyed and happily followed Ma Dahua to the kitchen.
Pointing to the two smaller bowls of noodles on the stove, Ma Dahua said: "Take them out and eat them with your father."
Qin Xiaoxiao happily walked out with the noodles. After thinking about it, he turned back and asked Ma Dahua, "Where are you, aunt? Do you and I still want to drink milk?"
Ma Dahua was happy that Qin Xiaoxiao cared about her and would not eat alone. She replied with a smile: "You and I don't eat anything until it's too late. You can go and eat by yourself. Don't leave any leftovers. Let's go quickly. The noodles are lumpy and not delicious."
Qin Xiaoxiao was not polite now, and quickly went to the main room with noodles, giving more to Qin Aiguo, and eating the least by himself.
After eating a bowl of noodles, Qin Xiaoxiao felt so comfortable that he wanted to hum. He patted his belly and looked at Qin Ye.
Qin Ye had finished eating a long time ago. When he saw Qin Xiaoxiao looking at him, he said funnyly: "I know, don't worry, your rabbit is still there. I'll show it to you tomorrow. Go to bed now, otherwise you won't be able to get up tomorrow. I won’t call you when the village distributes pork.”
Qin Xiaoxiao curled his lips and took Qin Aiguo back to sleep.
The next day, Qin Xiao took a nap until half past eight. Qin Ye came over and wanted to wake her up, but Qin Aiguo and Mrs. Qin refused to let her in. They pressed her tightly against the door and refused to let her in.
When Qin Xiaoxiao got up, she saw the two little rabbits Qin Ye had prepared for her. One was completely white with a little bit of hair, and the other had a black mouth and white body.
Qin Xiaoxiao narrowed his eyes and licked his lower lip, "Brother, are you really going to raise these two rabbits for me?"
Qin Wei walked to Qin Xiaoxiao and squatted down, "Well, I caught it for you. How about it? Do you like it?"
Qin Xiaoxiao nodded crazily, "I like it, I like it so much. Brother, do you think you can kill enough for the Chinese New Year?"
Qin Wei twitched the corners of his mouth twice, "Are you going to kill and eat meat during the Chinese New Year?"
Qin Wei stared at Qin Xiaoxiao in disbelief and said to himself, why is a little girl like you always thinking about eating? When a girl sees a snow-white rabbit, shouldn't she say it's cute and refuse to kill it? How come you have become a delicacy on the table?
Qin Xiaoxiao nodded matter-of-factly, "Otherwise? Why not kill it to eat meat and raise it? It's a waste of food."
Of course they were raised to eat during the Chinese New Year. If they weren't still too young and didn't have any meat on them, she wouldn't have kept any of them.
