Chapter 203 The first task issued by Wang Xiaona

To be fair, Yue Feng was not that fond of Ye Xiaojun. This second-generation rich man with a good background and a kid from an ordinary hunter family like Yue Feng were simply not from the same world.

The fact that Yue Feng was able to be patient and deal with the other party calmly was already a courtesy to him. As for the fact that he later gave gifts and showed off his big black eagle, it was also out of respect for Zhang Hongbin.

Now that the person has left, Yue Feng’s mission is accomplished. Yue Feng has also securely earned Zhang Hongbin’s favor. Yue Feng does not expect more friendship or favors.

After seeing the guests off, Yue Feng returned to the house holding his son in his arms, and his father Yue Lei came out from the east room.

“Is the person gone?”

“Ah! Gone! The son of Zhang Hongbin’s leader originally came to take a look. At first, he looked down on our little eagle. But when I took him to the eagle-flying field for a tour, he was completely shocked!
Here, before he left, he left me a phone number so I could call him if I had any questions!” Yue Feng handed the note with the phone number to his father.

Yue Lei took the note and took a look at it: “Keep it, after all, it’s a connection. If you can’t use it, forget it. But if you do, maybe it can help you with something!”

Yue Feng nodded: “Alright! In order to arrange this little eagle, the two of us have been fiddling with it for more than a week, and now we have finally solved one of our worries!”

“You’ve been busy since early morning and haven’t had a break. Your mother has left some food for you in the pot. Eat some and go to bed for a nap!”

I love my son, Yue Lei said, looking at Yue Feng.

“Row!”

Yue Feng responded, opened the lid of the pot and brought out the leftover lunch. He didn’t scrape away the ashes under the pot, so the rice was still warm.

Yue Feng ate the food in big mouthfuls. After filling his stomach, he slowly began to feel sleepy all over.

After picking up the dishes on the table, Yue Feng went into the west room, took off his shoes, got on the kang, and soon fell asleep in a daze.

The thing that was worrying him was done, so Yue Feng slept very soundly. Steady snoring sounds came from the kang. The four dogs lying under the edge of the kang seemed to know that their master was asleep. They were playing and making a lot of noise, but with the intervention of the head dog Canglong, the dogs all lay on the mat and waited obediently for their master to wake up.

On the other side, Wang Jianguo’s daughter, Wang Xiaona, seemed a little listless throughout the day.

Once a girl has something on her mind, it’s hard to say what she’s thinking about when she goes to sleep at night.

Wang Xiaona didn’t sleep well last night. She looked tired after getting up in the daytime and was in a daze from time to time while eating lunch.

The hot water in the kettle in the kitchen boiled and the whistle on the spout sounded. After hearing the noise, Wang Xiaona slowly picked up the kettle and returned to her room.

There is a medium-sized iron kettle in Wang Xiaona’s boudoir. She usually uses the water in the kettle to drink hot water or soak her feet before going to bed.

Wang Xiaona opened the stopper of the wooden thermos, lifted the kettle with her right hand slightly and applied force, and soon boiling water flowed out of the spout of the aluminum kettle.

Wang Mingyu, the youngest in the family, could do this kind of small job skillfully, but today Wang Xiaona was a little absent-minded. She stared at the spout of the kettle and lost her focus unconsciously. By the time she reacted, a small amount of boiling water had already spilled onto her cotton shoes.

“Ouch!” The aluminum kettle fell directly to the ground. Wang Xiaona exclaimed and immediately took off her cotton shoes.

The boiling water poured on the cotton shoes soon started to steam.

In the winter in Northeast China in this era, people wore old cotton shoes handmade by their families. The temperature outside was often more than 20 degrees below zero, so the cotton shoes were made relatively thick.

Fortunately, the cotton shoes are made thicker, otherwise if the boiling water poured on my feet, it would have been a big problem.

Zhang Cuilian, the mother who was busy in the kitchen nearby, heard her daughter’s screams and immediately put down her work and lifted the door curtain.

“What’s wrong, Xiaona?”

Xiaona had already taken off her cotton shoes that had been soaked in boiling water, and her socks were still steaming.

Needless to say, a small amount of boiling water still poured onto my feet.

Wang Xiaona, who was not very experienced, wanted to take off her socks as well, but was immediately stopped by her mother.

“Don’t take them off. Sit still and wait for me to bring you some cold water. Don’t move. If you take off your socks now, you might pull the skin off your feet!”

Zhang Cuilian hurriedly carried the basin to fetch water, and then brought a whole basin of cold water to her daughter.

“If you’re scalded by boiling water, use cold water to drain it. If it’s not serious, it can reduce most of the damage! Come on, put your foot in!”

The cold water in the room was at most ten degrees Celsius. It would definitely not be comfortable to soak your feet in cold water, but Wang Xiaona understood this principle to some extent, so she obediently soaked her little feet in it.

This soak lasts for half an hour.

The soles of my feet that were scalded by boiling water felt burning painful at first, but after soaking in cold water, the pain was significantly reduced. As time went by, the scalded area felt dull pain, a bit tight and numb, and itchy and uncomfortable.

“You’re so grown up, how can you be so careless! Are you feeling better? I’ll go call Wang Da Nao to come over and take a look at you.” Zhang Cui Lian felt sorry for her daughter and wanted to take a look but did not dare to take off her daughter’s socks.

“I was distracted when I was pouring water just now! There’s no need for that, it shouldn’t be too serious!” Wang Xiaona felt guilty and didn’t dare to show off. One could tell from her voice that she was lacking in confidence.

“You’ve been distracted since breakfast this morning. What’s wrong? Who provoked you?”

“No! I just didn’t sleep well last night!” Wang Xiaona shook her head repeatedly, fearing that her mother would discover her secret. They were all people who had experienced youth, so how could her mother not see through her daughter’s reasons? Ever since Jingjing sent the big pheasant to her family, Wang Xiaona had been acting quite abnormal when she woke up. She must have been imagining things when she was sleeping at night.

“Don’t worry so much about you and the second kid of the Yue family. What’s yours is yours anyway, and what’s not yours is useless for you to worry about!

The Yue family is also sensible people. They will definitely come to our house to raise the issue in the next two or three days. Just don’t worry!” Zhang Cuilian comforted.

“Hmm…” Wang Xiaona lowered her head a little embarrassedly as her mother saw through her thoughts.

“Does it still hurt?”

“It doesn’t hurt that much anymore, it just feels a little swollen and aching a little!”

“We need to see how serious the burn is. If it’s serious, we can’t put it off any longer!”

While Zhang Cuilian was speaking, she turned around and picked up a pair of scissors from the east room.

Afterwards, she did not take off her daughter’s socks normally, but used scissors to cut the socks along the sock shaft and carefully peeled them off to observe.

The situation is not too serious, but not too optimistic either. The instep near the ankle is red.

I used cold water to pull it out and no blisters appeared, but judging from the situation, the skin here will definitely peel off later.

Since there were no external injuries, there was naturally no need to look for Wang Da Nao. Zhang Cui Lian changed the basin of water for her daughter and continued to pull the hair out with cold water.

The family of four had to eat in the evening, so Zhang Cuilian observed for a while and then went back to the kitchen to get busy.

Wang Xiaona, who was sitting in her room, also came back to her senses from her initial panic.

My mother said that Yue Feng’s family would definitely come to our house to propose marriage, but what if they don’t come? Then when will the relationship between me and Yue Feng officially begin?

What if Wang Tiezui goes to Yue Feng’s house again to propose marriage, and this time he proposes a girl from another family, and Yue Feng falls in love with her? What if he chooses her?

No, we can’t just wait like this passively, we have to think of other ways and break this window paper first!

Although Wang Xiaona looks a little dull, she is actually a very smart person. She inherited intelligence and ability from her mother, and decisiveness and strategy from her father.

Just as I was wondering what to do, I suddenly looked down and saw my scalded feet. I immediately slapped my head and came up with an idea!

It was soon time for dinner, and Wang Mingyu also finished school with his schoolbag. As soon as he returned home, Wang Xiaona called him into the house.

After Wang Xiaona whispered in her brother’s ear, Wang Mingyu didn’t even bother to eat. He immediately turned around and left the house and went straight to Yue Feng’s house.

“Jingjing! Jingjing!!!” Yue Feng has four big dogs at home. Wang Mingyu didn’t dare to go in, so he just shouted loudly at the gate of the yard.

Soon, Jingjing came out of the house.

“Xiao Yu, do you have something to talk to me about? Come in and talk! Heilang, stop barking, he is my good friend!” Jingjing shouted at the dogs at home like a little adult, and the four dogs immediately fell silent.

“I’m not going in. I came here to tell you something!”

“What’s going on?”

“Do you have badger oil at home? My sister’s foot was scalded by boiling water this morning, and I want to get some badger oil to rub the scald!”

“Badger oil? Will bear oil work? We don’t seem to have badger oil! Is my sister-in-law seriously burned? I’ll ask my brother to take her to the hospital!!” Jingjing became nervous when she heard that her sister-in-law was burned.

Yesterday, her sister-in-law really fulfilled her promise and took her and Wang Mingyu to the store to buy Tang Monk meat and hawthorn slices. Now Wang Xiaona’s status in Jingjing’s eyes is second only to her family members, and she is even closer to her than her eldest brother who doesn’t come home often.

“No? Then… can you ask my brother-in-law to go up the mountain to kill badgers for my sister? I heard from my mother that badger oil is the best for treating burns. Going to the hospital is not as good as applying badger oil! And it won’t leave scars!”

Before Wang Mingyu came, Wang Xiaona specifically reminded him that if he needed to go to the hospital, she would have gone there long ago, and there was no need to come to find Yue’s family.

When Jingjing heard this, her eyes suddenly lit up.

This is the best opportunity for my second brother to flatter my sister-in-law!

“Okay, I’ll tell my brother to go up the mountain to pick badgers tomorrow, and if he catches any, I’ll have him deliver them to your house!”

Jingjing didn’t even go home to discuss it with her family. She was very clear-headed and decisive in agreeing to it.

“Okay, I’m going back now, don’t forget it!”

“Yes, I will definitely not forget it! You told my sister-in-law to wait patiently. My brother can even kill wild boars and blind bears. It’s just a badger, so there will be no problem!”
