Reborn in the 1980s: I made my fortune hunting wild game in Changbai Mountain
Chapter 323 New Performance
Chapter 323 New Performance
The sound of cooking was soon heard from the kitchen outside, but Wang Xiaona felt more and more uneasy as she sat in the house.
“Otherwise, should I go and help Auntie?” Wang Xiaona asked Yue Feng in a low voice.
“No need, my mother can take care of this job herself! You are a big guest of my family now, so why would I ask you to do any work?
Stay here obediently and don’t move!”
While speaking, Yue Feng stretched out his dirty hands again.
It’s my own land and my own wife, so I can’t move the principal for the time being, but I can still collect some interest.
……
Slowly, it got dark, the lights were turned on in the house, and my mother prepared dinner.
“Dad, Jingjing, Xiaofeng, Xiaona, come out to eat!!”
At the call from the Yue family’s logistics director, everyone immediately came out from the house.
The large dining table standing aside had been set up in advance, with six steaming dishes and a soup on it.
Sauerkraut stewed pork belly, braised spareribs, stewed chicken with hazel mushrooms, clear dragon soup, fried hairtail, fried peanuts, plus a canned luncheon meat platter.
“I didn’t prepare anything in advance, and this is all we have at home. I’ll just have to try Auntie’s cooking!” Meng Yulan said very ‘modestly’.
“Oh, this big table of dishes is rich enough, there is no need to go through so much trouble!” Wang Xiaona felt the “enthusiasm” of her future mother-in-law and was very happy in her heart.
Meng Yulan waved her hands: “How can that be possible! When you get married and come here, you will be the daughter-in-law of our Yue family!
Xiaofeng’s elder brother and his wife rarely come back from the city, so we two mothers will be together day and night in the future, so we must get along well! This is the first time I come home for dinner, I can’t bear to fool you!
Don’t just stand there, pick up your chopsticks and start eating! Would you like some wine? Let Xiaofeng pour it for you! “
Wang Xiaona waved her hands repeatedly: “Don’t drink, Auntie! Your cooking skills are amazing, this pork belly is so delicious!!”
“If it smells good, eat more! Xiaofeng is capable, and life at home isn’t that tight, right? If you want to eat it, just tell Auntie and I’ll make it for you every day!”
Try this fresh hairtail fish, it’s really rare, last time Xiaofeng went to the supply and marketing cooperative, his sister specially left some for him!”
While speaking, Meng Yulan picked up a piece of golden fried knife fish for Wang Xiaona.
“Oh, great! You and I can eat too!”
“Sister-in-law, can I discuss something with you?” Jingjing, who was standing aside, heard her mother’s generous “promise” and her eyes lit up, and her little brain started working immediately.
“Ah? What’s wrong?”
“Why don’t you come to my house for dinner every night from now on! My mom makes delicious food every day, so I can benefit from it!”
“Go away! What nonsense are you talking about! No matter how much food you eat, it won’t stop your mouth. Be careful with the fish bones!” Yue Feng also picked up a piece of hairtail for his sister and said.
“Hehehe!” Jingjing picked up a piece of fish and put it in her mouth, squinting her eyes in satisfaction.
The meal was a harmonious one with loving father and filial son. The parents-in-law looked at their future daughter-in-law with favor, and Jingjing, a clever little girl, made jokes to ease the atmosphere. The family ate and drank, and before they knew it, it got dark.
After they had eaten and drunk their fill, Wang Xiaona didn’t need to clean up the dishes. Jingjing just took her hand and pulled her to the west room. She cleaned the table, washed the dishes, and did everything by herself.
The two of them stayed in the west room for a while and stayed at Yue Feng’s house until 8:30. When Wang Xiaona wanted to leave, Yue Feng took a flashlight and personally sent her home before returning.
After going up the mountain for a day on the sixth day, all members of Yue Feng’s hunting team rested on the seventh day and could not go up the mountain, but Yue Feng was not idle either. In addition to taking care of the hawks and dogs at home, he rode his bike into the city in the afternoon and went to the supply and marketing cooperative to purchase a batch of things for the engagement reception on the eighth day according to the list.
I bought a lot of cigarettes, alcohol, sugar, tea, dried fruits, canned food, snacks and other useful things at one time.
On the other side, my mother Meng Yulan, together with her neighbor Xiao Tao’s mother, went to the market with baskets to purchase various supplies for entertaining guests. They bought a lot of geese, fish, beef, mutton, and large and small packages.
With money, she has confidence. Her son is capable and brings a lot of money home. Meng Yulan’s mentality when she goes out to buy things is different from before.
In the past, life was tight and I had to calculate everything I bought and think for a long time before making a purchase. Now, I am almost in a shopping mode.
Just because Wang Xiaona said she loved the pork belly stewed with sauerkraut last night, Meng Yulan bought ten kilograms of pork belly alone at the market today. The confidence of being the first ten thousand yuan household in Xing’an Village was clearly revealed at this moment.
At 4:30 in the afternoon, when the sun was setting but not yet gone down, the eldest brother Yue Shan and his wife also came back on their bicycles.
Different from the previous times when they would just go home and buy some snacks or something, this time Yue Shan and Chen Hong came back and bought a lot of serious things.
A large bag of ten pounds of roasted melon seeds, a large bag of Little Naughty (fruit candies individually wrapped in candy wrappers), more than ten pounds of pork hindquarters, and two bald and cleaned up white-striped chickens.
“Dad! Mom! We’re back!” Pushing open the gate to the yard, Yue Shan called out to the inside of the house.
Meng Yulan, who was preparing dinner in the house, heard the barking of the dog and the voice of her eldest son. She put down the work in her hands and came out without caring about what she had done.
“Boss, the eldest and his wife are back! My dear son and daughter-in-law, didn’t you say you would be back early tomorrow morning? You must be freezing on the way, come inside and warm up quickly!!”
Meng Yulan raised her hand to take the things in Chen Hong’s hand. Chen Hong did not hand the things over, but held them in her right hand, and eagerly held her mother-in-law’s hand with her left hand and said, “Originally, I planned to rush here early tomorrow morning, but then Dashan and I discussed that there are many things to do tomorrow, and I am afraid that it will be delayed if I come back late, so I changed shifts with my colleagues and came back early! Mom, how is my dad’s recovery!”
“Your father has recovered well. He will be able to walk without crutches before the Chinese New Year! If you want to come back, just come back. Why did you buy so many things? We don’t need any at home!”
“I didn’t buy anything, just some meat! Tomorrow is my brother’s engagement day. There are many things to do on occasions, so it never hurts to prepare more. By the way, where is my brother?” Chen Hong asked as she walked into the house holding her mother-in-law’s hand.
“I went into town to buy some things. I think I’ll be back soon! Look at your hands, they’re freezing cold! Come inside and warm up over there by the heated wall!”
“Hey!”
Yue Shan and his wife quickly carried their things into the house. After putting down their things, they immediately went into the east room to see their father Yue Lei who was recuperating on the kang.
“Dad!” Yue Shan pushed the door open and called out “Dad” respectfully.
“Hey, the old couple is back!”
Yue Lei also had a smile on his face when facing his eldest son whom he hadn’t seen for more than a month.
“Dad! How is your injured leg recovering? After I finish dealing with my engagement arrangements, I’ll let Dashan take a break from work next week and take you to take another X-ray for a follow-up check!” Chen Hong said softly.
Yue Lei shook his head after hearing his eldest daughter-in-law’s advice: “I’m still a little afraid to land, but I can clearly feel that I have more energy than before! There’s nothing to worry about in winter, and it’s a waste of money to have a follow-up check. Why waste that energy!”
Although Yue Lei rejected his eldest daughter-in-law’s proposal verbally, he was still very happy in his heart. After all, who would be disgusted by others being nice to them? Yue Lei is not a person who cannot distinguish between good and bad.
The couple chatted with the old man in the east room for a while, and soon Chen Hong took off her coat and went to the kitchen to work with her mother-in-law.
After a while, Jingjing finished school. She met her second brother who was going to the city to buy things at the village entrance with her schoolbag on her back. They sat on the beam of Yuefeng and went home together.
When Yue Feng saw the bicycle parked at the door of the warehouse, his heart moved, and then he quickly realized that it was his eldest brother and his wife who had returned.
Chen Hong, who had just parked her bicycle and had been paying attention to the movements in the yard, immediately came out to greet her brother-in-law when she heard him returning.
“Xiaofeng is back!”
“sister in law!”
“Sister-in-law!!”
Jingjing and Yuefeng, brother and sister, greeted their sister-in-law politely.
“Did you go into town to buy things? I should have called your brother and asked him to bring the things over when we came. I’ll have to ask you to run more errands!” Chen Hong said with a smile.
“I usually go to deliver game, and I’m used to it! You and my brother are still at work, so I didn’t mention it because I was afraid you wouldn’t have enough time!”
Yue Feng responded normally, then began to unpack the things in the wicker basket on the back seat.
Cigarettes, alcohol, sugar, tea, and all kinds of things used for “official business” were taken out of the basket, and then the three of them worked together to carry all the things into the house.
Seeing the various “high-end goods” from the supply and marketing cooperatives that Yue Feng bought, Chen Hong kept a straight face, but was trembling with fear in her heart.
Fortunately, when Chen Hong went home today, she was more careful when buying things and bought more meat, candy, melon seeds and other things than usual.
If I bring two kilograms of meat back to see my parents like last time, I will be slapped in the face by my brother-in-law when he unloads the car and carries the things downstairs.
After putting everything in place, Chen Hong went into the kitchen again. The eldest son and daughter-in-law had returned home the night before. Meng Yulan was in a very good mood and hummed a little tune while preparing dinner for the children.
After entering the house, Yue Feng saw the things his elder brother and sister-in-law had bought, and he felt a little moved.
Judging from the behavior of sister-in-law Chen Hong when she came back to buy things today, Yue Feng’s judgment was absolutely correct.
Judging Chen Hong by traditional concepts, she is definitely not stupid. Not only is she not stupid, but in certain situations, she is also extremely shrewd.
It’s just that Chen Hong is too materialistic, and Yue Feng feels a little disgusted by her.
Her kindness is only shown to people she thinks are important or valuable.
In the past, her husband’s hometown had no one to rely on for anything, and Chen Hong would be very fussy about every little contribution she made. But now that life is better at home, Chen Hong has begun to miss her hometown.
Yue Feng has memories from his previous life and knows what kind of player his sister-in-law is, so he will not be deceived.
Because of the existence of his parents, it is definitely impossible for Yue Feng to sever his relationship with his eldest brother’s family, but Yue Feng is definitely not the kind of person who will be open-hearted if a bad person gives him a little sunshine.
It would be best if the sister-in-law didn’t have any other ideas. Yue Feng didn’t mind giving the other party some benefits in return, but that was it.
Want to plot more from Yue Feng? Before passing the test in Yue Feng’s heart, this possibility does not exist at all.
