Chapter 333 Husband 1 Wants to Be a Widow (33)
Two years later...
"Wow wow wow..."
Zhou Shenyun brought out a dish of scrambled eggs with tomatoes and placed it on the dining table. He touched his bulging belly, rubbed his son's head and said, "Mom hasn't come home yet, and Grandpa is still weeding in the yard. Wait a minute, brother."
He covered the food with a bamboo lid, carried his son and the basket to the backyard, and continued picking peppercorns with scissors.
"Xiao Yun, it's too hot out here, take the child home."
"Dad, the sun is about to set, so I have to hurry up and pick the peppercorns. I'll dry them in the sun. If they get wet in the rain, they won't taste as good."
"I'm almost done weeding. Come over and pick it with you."
After a while, the men heard the sound of a door opening, something heavy falling to the ground, and there was a commotion.
Wang Wang Wang!
"Xi'er is back. Ah Hua is calling her outside."
Ahua is a local dog that Gu Yuxi and his family picked up on their way back from the market in the county town.
It was almost dead when it was brought home, but Gu Yuxi gave it some herbs and water and it was revived. Now it has become a hunting dog that accompanies Gu Yuxi on hunting trips.
Every time they come home, it would bark a few times in the yard, as if to remind the male owner that they are back.
The men in the backyard came out and saw the people who had returned. There were two sika deer and two wild ducks on the ground, and the woman was holding a basket to put the wild duck eggs.
Gu Yuxi held the duck egg in the air and looked at it, then shook his head regretfully. Zhou Shenyun asked, "Wife, are these duck eggs inedible?"
Yao Zhigang and the others also took them out to have a look. There were already embryonic forms of ducklings inside. He said, "The ducks are still there, so we can just keep them in a pen."
"How can you eat all of them? Leave the eggs that don't hatch to me for roast geese. I don't know which young thief stole my two pheasants a few days ago."
"I think it's those with dirty hands and feet."
"Maybe so."
"Wife, the adult duck won't grow meat if we keep it. I'll kill it and make roast duck for you tomorrow."
"Ayun is really hardworking."
Gu Yuxi guessed that it was some gangster who stole her chicken, who came and went without a trace, so she just thought of her wild chicken as alms.
It seems that we cannot raise too many chickens, ducks and geese, otherwise they will attract thieves. The kid from the second room came to steal eggs and got his hand pinched, and the kid from another village got his head injured by a hidden weapon. Now those people dare not steal anymore.
Zhou Shenyun picked up the incubating duck and said to Yao Zhigang, "Dad, let's get some hay to make a nest. The ducklings will come out in a few days."
"If you can't eat it, just keep it alive and feed it with some wild vegetables."
The man who came back from the duck coop saw the woman washing her face and then put the sika deer in a cage.
Zhou Shenyun sniffed the deer's breath and said, "It's still alive."
"The county magistrate needs a live sika deer to celebrate his mother-in-law's birthday. He promised six taels of silver for each deer. Unfortunately, several of them were let go today and we can't find them no matter how hard we try."
"Don't be upset, my wife. Don't we still have two here?"
"That's true. Let's not talk about that. I have to go to the county town tomorrow morning."
For some reason, Gu Yuxi's surveillance camera failed to work when it reached the deep mountains. The sika deer that escaped today most likely ran there.
"Wife, are you going to go hunting again when you get home tomorrow? This morning I went to the fish pond and found some fish being eaten in the grass. Could it be a wild cat?"
"I'll go check it out tomorrow. We'll take a few days off. It's time to weed the crops in the field."
"The village head's little daughter asked you to help build a house. Do you want to go?"
"Is that so? I'll go ask about the situation tomorrow."
Zhou Shenyun smiled and stood up, reminding: "My wife, it's getting late, it's time to eat."
"Ah."
When they got to the dinner table, Gu Yuxi served himself a bowl of vegetable soup. After finishing the soup, he started to serve himself some rice made from whole grains, which was just right with an egg.
While we were eating, the people from the second room started quarreling again, it was really lively.
"You useless piece of shit. I've been so unlucky following you. My eldest sister's family has built a house in the past few years, but you've always been lame. You can't even compare to the eldest sister's family."
"Second brother, Er'er is your wife, how can you be so evil... cough cough cough!"
Hu Zhaomei has had a severe cough in recent years, and now her face has turned red from coughing.
"You're a cripple, you're a tuberculosis patient, how could you have the nerve to go home? You've caused us to be gossiped about by our fellow villagers over the past two years, and we've been embarrassed every time we go out."
The man's fighting ability was extremely strong, and the father and daughter were so scared that they didn't dare to say anything. Hu Zhaomei left silently because his presence would increase their conflicts.
"Dad, I want to eat eggs and meat."
"Eat, eat, eat! You can't even eat mud. With such a useless mother and a notorious grandfather, you sisters will be dragged to death sooner or later."
Gur looked at her husband with disgust and said angrily, "Why are you, an adult, angry with a child?"
"Being lazy and greedy will bring you retribution. If you eat a lot of meat and fish every day, you will die of bloating sooner or later."
Being yelled at, the child immediately started crying: "Wuwuwu..."
"If you want to cry, go outside and don't get in the way."
Gu Er was at a loss as she carried her daughter outside. She limped to the kitchen and saw Gu Da's family making an egg soup. There were also some steamed potatoes and sweet potatoes on the stove. She said embarrassedly, "Brother-in-law, my daughter is crying so hard, can you ..."
"No! I worked so hard to raise chickens, but my wife, mother, and children have never enjoyed the eggs they laid. If I give them to whoever cries, then I will just cry with my family every day in the future."
"No, just think of it as me lending it to you."
Gudafulang had been severely bullied by Gurfulang in the past, so how could he miss this opportunity for revenge? He immediately shouted at the top of his voice: "Lend? I have already lent it a long time ago. The people who borrowed the big house before took everything away. I have never seen any of the food and things I borrowed returned."
"If we have it, we will definitely return it, give us a potato or ..."
"I don't have any, and you don't have any either. According to you, if you don't have any, you won't pay it back! You should support those two elderly people this month. They ate our food during the day, but we won't provide them with food at night."
"Brother-in-law, we are a family..."
"Sisters should settle accounts openly. We have separated the family property. You have always been slacking off when doing your work before, and now you have left the land uncultivated. Do you want my family to help you with the work?"
The man continued to whip: "My wife is an honest person. If it weren't for some people's evil intentions, my wife wouldn't have been beaten, and we wouldn't have been laughed at by the villagers."
When Guda heard the loud noise, she hurried to the kitchen. When she saw Guer holding the tearful child, she immediately knew what was going on.
"Sister, my daughter is very hungry..."
"Sister, you are the head of the family, the backbone of the family. If the child is hungry, ask your husband to cook for her. My meal will be ready soon."
"My dear wife, please ask the children to come and move the potatoes over. I'm afraid a lot will be missing later."
The man added a lot of vegetables to the soup and served the egg soup in a large bowl without giving Gur any face.
