"I don't know. Since it's dead, you can skin it and add spicy rabbit dices tonight."

"Okay, let's go now."

Jin Lu took the rabbit and left, but there was still a sack containing the rabbit on the ground.

Yan Xia picked it up and saw that the straw rope used to tie the sack was made of four straws twisted together in forward and reverse directions. This unique twisting method was different from the spiral twisting method used by the villagers, and only the original owner's father could do it.

It seems that the rabbit was sent by Yan Hecheng.

He didn't know where he got the rabbit. The mountain was guarded every day and there was no way to get in.

There are no small animals in the short mountains.

Forget it, since he wants to make amends, let him go.

Yan Xia didn't care anymore. She had complicated feelings towards the original owner's father, with disgust on one side and helplessness on the other.

She could clearly feel that Yan Hecheng regretted it and was determined to make up for himself.

But the original owner is dead, this is an indisputable fact.

She had no intention of inviting Yan Hecheng to spend New Year's Eve together.

At this time, Yan Hecheng was warming himself by the fire in the ruined temple.

Since there was no stove, he simply made a wooden frame, with firewood underneath and a casserole on top.

The casserole was bubbling.

Cooked brown rice porridge.

Yan Hecheng had just finished chopping the firewood. His hands were red from the cold. He came close to the fire and roasted for a long time before he recovered. Then he sprinkled some salt into the casserole, a full spoonful of it. He had never been willing to be so luxurious in the past.

Today is New Year's Eve.

He felt that there must be some taste in his mouth.

He found two rabbits from the wild mountains outside the village. He fell down and almost slipped down the mountain, but he managed to catch a dead tree.

Xiaoxia loves to eat rabbit meat. When he was a child, he made a simple scarf out of rabbit skin for his daughter.

Unexpectedly, after only wearing it twice, it disappeared from home and could not be found no matter how hard I looked for it.

He promised his daughter that he would go find a rabbit in the winter and make a new one for her.

But who knew he never caught it again.

Rabbits like to run outside when it snows, and their speed is slower than usual. This is the easiest time to catch them.

It just so happened that Baihua Village had been snowing heavily these days, and there was no work to do.

Thinking of this, Yan Hecheng simply went into the mountains to look for rabbits. After squatting for three days, he found a rabbit hole and caught two at noon today. He put the rabbits into a sack and quietly put them in In front of my daughter's house.

Yan Hecheng took out a pitch-black bamboo bowl with a burnt exterior and filled it with a full bowl of porridge.

While it was hot, I carefully sucked it into my mouth. I took a sip of the slightly salty rice soup and sighed comfortably.

A pot full of brown rice porridge was enough for him to eat for three days.

Just cook a lot at one time and heat it up the next time you eat it.

This saves firewood.

On the other side of the Chen family, Wang Lihua, her nephew and daughter were huddled in the kitchen, leaning on the residual warmth of the stove to warm themselves.

"Be good. Although it's New Year's Eve today, the weather is very cold. If you get cold if you go out to play, we don't have money to treat you. You two stay here to keep warm while I cook New Year's Eve dinner."

Wang Lihua has a soft temper, although she hates her naughty nephew.

But I won't bully him.

After all, he is the son who will carry on the family line, and how can he compare with a worthless girl, so she treats her nephew even better than her biological daughter.

"I want to go out to play. If I stay at home every day, I will be bored to death. I want my grandma, my mother, and my father. Bad guy, where are you hiding them?"

Chen Tiangui is already 6 years old and will be seven after the Chinese New Year.

But he behaves like a four-year-old child.

This shows how he was spoiled by the Chen family.

On the contrary, Chen Zhaoer, who was only 5 years old next to him, was well-behaved and sensible. He was still working on his hands, holding a bamboo stick to help his mother pick wild walnut kernels.

A small person, as thin as a kitten.

Sitting on a low stool, there was only a small ball.

"They have gone to a far away place to make money for you. We, Tiangui, will marry a wife in the future, and we need money, so my aunt has taken care of you in the past few years. Tiangui, please help your cousin pick walnut kernels, okay?" Auntie will cook walnut rice for you later and scramble an egg. This is what we will eat for New Year’s Eve dinner, but we won’t have it tomorrow. We don’t have much food at home, so let’s eat black-faced steamed buns tomorrow.”

Although all the land in the family was sold, and a lot of grain was sold, they were all converted into money to compensate the Yan family.

But the remaining rice and noodles are enough for the three of them to eat until spring.

There is no strong labor force in the family, and it is not her business to collect corvees. When spring comes, she will go to open up wasteland, and her nephew and daughter will not starve to death.

She's going to wait until her man comes out.

Just five years.

It passed quickly.

"I don't want to eat walnut rice, I want to eat meat, I want to eat meat, you bitch, did you bully my great-grandmother away? My great-grandmother and grandma said that you are a hen that can't lay eggs. Why should you be a hen?" No matter what, you go to hell, get out of here, why do you eat my eggs? She is not allowed to eat them either. If you lose money, you should sell them to me to buy meat for me to eat. You sell her, sell her!"

Chen Tiangui pushed Chen Zhaoer down.

He scolded the mother and daughter arrogantly.

Chen Zhaoer fell heavily to the ground and his face was scratched, but he didn't dare to cry.

Her eyes were red and filled with tears that never fell.

It hurts to watch.

She looked at her mother, as if seeking comfort.

But Wang Lihua ignored her, walked up to Chen Tiangui, and picked him up.

Chen Tiangui is seven years old. He has been pampered since he was a child. He eats all good things and the shit he poops is more nutritious than what Chen Zhaoer eats.

Natural body shapes vary greatly.

Wang Lihua hugged her heavy nephew.

Coax him patiently.

"Tiangui, be good. Your great-grandmother and your parents will come back in five years. It's not that aunt won't give you meat, but the family has no money. When spring comes, aunt will pick up more mushrooms and sell them in the town. Can I buy you some meat?"

"Why don't you sell her, I want to eat meat now!"

Tiangui kicked his feet hard, not caring whether Wang Lihua was in pain or not.

"Tiangui, Zhao'er is still young. My aunt will marry her off when she grows up. My aunt's son hasn't been recruited yet, so how can I sell her? Be good, so that the scrambled eggs will be eaten by you alone." , aunt and Zhao'er, can we just have walnut rice? If Tiangui doesn't behave, we won't be able to eat the New Year's Eve dinner?"

Wang Lihua coaxed her for a long time, and then took out the remaining three cakes from her mother-in-law's cabinet and gave them to her nephew.

Only then did he coax him.

"I went out to play with my friends. You are not allowed to control me, otherwise I will complain to grandma and accuse you of beating me!"

"Okay, okay, my little ancestor, don't freeze. If you feel cold, come back quickly. Auntie will make ginger soup for you."

Wang Lihua shook her head helplessly.

Chen Tiangui, who succeeded, finished the pastries and left in a hurry.

Poor Chen Zhaoer's face hurt and her mouth was greedy. After her cousin left, she quietly picked up the cake flour residue that fell on the ground and stuffed it into her mouth, regardless of whether it was muddy or not.

"Mom, the pastries are so sweet~"

"You greedy girl, only your cousin can eat pastries. Don't worry about it. Help your mother with the work. Have you finished picking out the walnuts? Hurry up. If Tiangui comes back later, if the meal is not ready yet, he will ask for it again. It’s making trouble.”
