Tian Xiaoxia ran over in the snow as if she had discovered a new world, turned around and smiled at Zhou Feng:
"Rabbits!"
Her eyes were curved, her face was rosy, and she was as happy as a child.
When the two of them went down the mountain, they were already holding six wild rabbits in their hands, but the rabbits were not fat. The largest one was about four pounds, and the rest were about three pounds.
Zhou Feng couldn't help but sigh that in the 1980s, the supplies on the mountain were still abundant. In later times, wild rabbits would almost be extinct.
However, the main reason for the large harvest this time was the heavy snow. When the snow stopped, these wild animals went out to look for food, which made him harvest so much.
""Xiaoxia, I heard from Uncle Qiulin that you went to high school?"
On the way back, Zhou Feng pretended to ask casually
"Well, I finished my second year of high school, and then I went home to help."
Tian Xiaoxia told her about her situation.
Her grades were very good, and Tian Qiushan was very supportive of her, but when the rest of the kids started school, she felt overwhelmed, especially since Tian Xiaoyun would be in the first grade next year.
The couple's income from farming and carpentry work was not enough to support four students.
As the eldest in the family, Tian Xiaoxia also understood her parents' difficulties, and she dropped out of school when the autumn harvest came.
Although Tian Qiushan and his wife felt sorry for their eldest daughter, they did not object, after all, the family conditions were really too poor. When
Tian Xiaozi saw her sister drop out of school, she also clamored to go home to help, but was finally suppressed by Tian Xiaoxia.
She knew too well what kind of changes would happen to her life if she could get into college, and she had no choice. Since she had given up, she would pave a future for her sisters and would never let them drop out of school.
Zhou Feng could feel the regret and persistence in Tian Xiaoxia's words, and blurted out:
"If you want to go, you can go later!"
"There is no spare money at home. Now all three of them are in school and my father is not in good health."
"It's okay, I'm here, I'll support you, and when you become successful, you can pay me back double."
Zhou Feng said this without any other thoughts, he just felt sorry for the girl. For him, letting Tian Xiaoxia go to school was a simple matter.
If they were not destined to be husband and wife in the future, they would just do good deeds, and not paying back the money was just a joke.
Tian Xiaoxia was stunned by this.
She never thought Zhou Feng would say this, and she felt a little strange.
She didn't say whether she agreed or not, but asked Zhou Feng
"Aren't you afraid that I will stop being friends with you after I go to college?"
Zhou Feng was delighted when he heard this.
"Can you?"
Looking at Zhou Feng's smiling face, Tian Xiaoxia didn't know what was wrong. She raised her head and showed her snow-white neck.
"Yes!"
After saying this, she regretted it a little.
But Zhou Feng smiled even more happily.
"If you can find someone better, I agree, but I think it's a bit difficult."
Tian Xiaoxia immediately realized what this guy meant, and she was no longer worried. She just thought he was very thick-skinned and rolled her eyes at him.
Zhou Feng immediately covered his chest, thinking that a beauty is a beauty, and an unintentional glance can be so lethal.
He also understood that the biggest reason why this girl agreed to meet him once was because of this family. She was worried about this family and wanted to protect her sisters.
This is her responsibility as a daughter, and even more so as the eldest in the family.
After Zhou Feng returned home, he took the rabbit He put the rabbits at home to cool down, and then skinned all six rabbits.
He kept the fattest one, and put the other five in a bag and hung them on the beam of the warehouse to prevent them from being gnawed by hungry mice.
Before Tian Qiushan and his wife came back, Zhou Feng started to chop up the fat rabbit.
Heat oil in a pan, sauté scallions, ginger and garlic, stir-fry the rabbit meat for a few minutes, pour some white wine to remove the fishy smell, add water to cover the meat and stew it.
The sisters of the Tian family were stunned, mainly because Zhou Feng was too skilled in this.
After the rabbits were put into the pot, Zhou Feng added some warm water. , threw all six rabbit skins in, then scrubbed them carefully with soap to remove all the dirt and grease, rinsed them with clean water several times, hung the rabbit skins to dry, and baked them over the fire on the stove.
About half an hour later, Zhou Feng opened the pot and threw in three chopped potatoes, sprinkled them with salt and continued to stew, while Tian Xiaoxia used another stove to cook corn porridge.
When Tian Qiushan and his wife walked to the door, they smelled the aroma of meat. They were both a little surprised. They didn't remember there was meat at home?
As soon as they entered the house, Tian Xiaoyue and Tian Xiaoyun The younger ones were like two sparrows, telling Zhou Feng everything he had done. They wiped their saliva while talking. How long had they not eaten meat?
Tian Qiushan felt sad when he saw the greedy looks of the two little girls. The family was indeed a little poor, but he was more satisfied with this adopted son-in-law.
Not to mention Tian Guixiang. The more she looked at Zhou Feng, the more she liked him. He looked like one of their own family members!
In the evening, the family had a lively dinner together.
During the meal, Tian Qiushan took out the wine and poured a glass of wine for Zhou Feng. He said with some emotion:
"Xiaofeng, my family is not well off, and I didn't organize any engagement banquet for you. I'm happy today, and you and Xiaoxia are engaged. I'll work hard to make money, and I'll make sure your wedding is a lively one!"
Tian Xiaoxia was a little shy, but she didn't object. Although this fiancé was picked up, he looked good at the moment.
Zhou Feng quickly raised his glass with both hands and clinked it with Tian Qiushan, and quickly expressed his opinion:
"Uncle and aunt, you don't have to worry about Xiaoxia and I's wedding. It's too much trouble for you to arrange it. If you tell others about it, people will laugh at you. Just don't worry, take good care of your health, and I will figure out the money issue."
Tian Qiushan and his wife looked at each other and saw satisfaction in each other's eyes. This was really a lucky find. No matter what level Zhou Feng could achieve in the end, this attitude made people feel warm.
Tian Qiushan drank too much at night, and it was Zhou Feng who helped him get on the kang.
At night, Zhou Feng lay in the quilt and listened to the sisters next door talking and laughing, and slowly fell asleep.
The next morning, before dawn, Zhou Feng went out to the mountain. He was very careful when he went out, for fear of waking up the girls.
Zhou Feng didn't catch the rabbit this time, but he shot three pheasants.
He immediately adjusted his thinking and changed more than a dozen pheasant traps, which were specially placed in the corn stalks piled up in the field. Pheasants love to drill into such places in winter.
It was already eight o'clock when he got home. Tian Xiaozi stuck out her tongue when she saw Zhou Feng coming back from outside with the trophy. She was just saying bad things about him! When
Tian Xiaoxia saw Zhou Feng, she immediately stepped forward like a little wife to take the rabbit and pheasant, and sold her sister backhandedly.
"Xiaozi said, you sleep too late, you don't get up even when the sun is shining on your butt."
Tian Xiaozi immediately covered her sister's mouth, shouting that her sister was not kind and forgot her sister after having a brother-in-law.
Zhou Feng took the opportunity to joke,"If you dare to say bad things about me, I won't let her eat meat in the future."
Tian Xiaozi was even more unwilling. She was not that familiar with her brother-in-law Zhou Feng, but she tickled her sister, and the two sisters had a big fight.
Zhou Feng had a simple meal, then packed all the mountain products into sacks and prepared to take them to the county to sell.
Tian Qiushan asked him to wait a moment and left the house, and soon came back pushing a bicycle.���
"Can you ride it? This is from your uncle Qiulin."
Zhou Feng was happy to see the bicycle. This is good. It's more than 20 miles away from the county town. It takes more than two hours to walk. With a bicycle, he can save a lot of energy.
Zhou Feng didn't bring Tian Xiaoxia this time. After all, there was still a lot of snow on the road. It didn't matter if he, a big guy, fell down, but he was afraid of accidentally falling down on her.
Even if he rode a bicycle, it took Zhou Feng more than half an hour to get to the county town. He carried a big sack and went straight to the supply and marketing cooperative.
