Farmer's eldest sister becomes rich

Thinking that they would be able to eat meat soon, An Yue and An Nian were overjoyed.

An Nian rubbed his eyes, unable to believe that his sister had really caught the pheasant. He stared at his sister with wide eyes and said, "Sister is so amazing! Why didn't I realize how amazing you are before?"

Of course I wasn’t that powerful before, because I wasn’t the An Yue I am today.

"Sister was too young before and didn't have the strength." An Yue said casually. After all, he was still young and easy to fool.

An Nian looked at the pheasant in An Yue's hand, as if he could eat it right away. He swallowed his saliva and said happily, "Great! We have meat to eat tonight!"

The grandmother was also surprised. She looked at An Yue in front of her, as if she was getting to know her granddaughter all over again.

In her eyes, An Yue used to be cowardly and timid, and worked hard without complaint. But now her granddaughter seemed to be brave, resourceful, bold and careful, which made her eyes light up.

An Yue walked up to them and handed the pheasant to her grandmother. Her grandmother looked at An Yue, then at the pheasant in her hand, and said, "We will go home now and have your aunt kill it and stew it for us."

The three generations of grandparents and grandchildren came to the entrance of the village, carrying firewood on their backs, An Yue holding a bamboo rake, and the grandmother holding a pheasant.

My grandmother was so tired that she could hardly breathe. She leaned her backpack against the stone steps and prepared to take a break.

In the vegetable field at the entrance of the village, two people were squatting and pulling weeds. One of the women was the aunt who led the siblings to their grandfather's house last time.

The woman was Goudan's mother, named Li. She was famous in the village for her loud voice. She was straightforward and generous, and loved to joke around. All the women in the village liked to joke with her.

Li asked, "Aunt Jiang, where did you catch such a big pheasant?"

The other woman also looked over curiously.

"My granddaughter Yueyue caught it. It was a lucky thing. The pheasant was injured and couldn't fly away. The child's hands and feet are always nimble, so she caught it in a few moves!"

Li smiled and said jokingly, "Aunt Jiang, I'm afraid all of us will get a share tonight."

Grandma smiled and replied, "No problem, let's all come and try it! Remember to bring Goudan with you."

Another unfamiliar woman laughed and said loudly, "We finally caught a pheasant. If we all go, I'm afraid there won't be enough to share!"

Everyone laughed.

Grandmother asked, "Goudan's mother, the busy farming season is over. I'm afraid Kaizi has gone up the mountain, right?"

Another unfamiliar woman asked, "Yes! Yesterday when I was sweeping the yard, I happened to see his husband taking his hunting equipment out. I guess he should be back today."

Li said, "His father went up the mountain yesterday and will be back tonight at the latest."

Just as he finished speaking, a man's voice came from not far away.

"Mother, come over and give me a hand."

I saw a tall and strong man wearing a patched coat, carrying two gray hares in his hands, a roe deer on his shoulders, and various hunting tools on his back, walking towards the village entrance.

It turned out that the man was Goudan's father, named Zhang Kai, and people in the village usually called him Kaizi.

The woman who was pulling weeds in the field joked, "Oh... Kaizi is back! Just when I mentioned you, you're here. Look at my mouth, I dare not say bad things about people behind their backs!"

When the grandmother saw Zhang Kai coming up from behind, she smiled and said to him, "Kaizi, you have gained a lot from going up the mountain this time!"

"It's OK. Auntie, did you just come down from the mountain?"

"Yes! We didn't have much firewood at home, so we took the two children up the mountain to fetch some firewood."

"Yes, the weather is getting colder and colder. Besides, it will be the Chinese New Year soon. We need to save some firewood for the Chinese New Year."

Zhang Kai looked down and saw that his grandmother was holding a pheasant. He couldn't help but said in surprise, "Wow... the pheasant you are holding is not small!"

An Yue was very nervous, fearing that the man in front of her would be unreasonable and think that he had killed the pheasant. If he were to take it away by force, wouldn't the pheasant be lost again?

An Nian didn't care what the adults were talking about. Instead, he was particularly curious about the pheasant. He picked up a piece of grass from the ground and squatted down to play with the pheasant.

"Yes! Just now I told you to ask your wife to bring Goudan to my house tonight to taste the pheasant meat."

Zhang Kai smiled and declined, "Aunt, I got quite a lot this time. How can I bring my family to your house to eat?"

After Li put away the farm tools, she came out from the field and saw her husband returning with a full load. She smiled so much that the corners of her mouth almost reached behind her ears.

She took the hare from the man's hand. It was big and fat. She drooled at the sight and said with great satisfaction, "This is really good!"

Turning to her grandmother Zheng, she said, "Aunt, don't be jealous of your pheasant meat now! His father has made a good harvest this time, and we will have meat to eat tonight!"

Several people burst into laughter.

Li continued, "It's not that I want to eat it, but our dog has been clamoring for meat recently. He's been craving for it! Now we can finally have a treat."

Grandma smiled and said, "Children are growing up, so they just crave meat!"

"Aunt, why don't we go back together?"

After Li finished speaking to her grandmother Zheng, she turned to the woman weeding in the field and said, "Auntie, you go ahead and do your work! We'll be going back now."

The woman in the field smiled and joked, "Come back! Come back! The meat is delicious."

After the woman finished speaking, everyone burst into laughter again.

The three generations of grandparents and grandchildren also picked up their backpacks, said a few words to the woman in the field, and walked back home with Zhang Kai and his wife.

back home.

As soon as I entered the yard, I saw my grandfather weaving baskets in the yard, and my aunt Wei was squatting at the door of the kitchen washing sweet potatoes.

Grandmother panted and called to Wei, "Wan'er, come and take it."

Wei saw at a glance that her mother-in-law was holding a pheasant in her hand, and her face instantly smiled as if it was about to bloom.

"Mom was really lucky today when she went up the mountain. She caught such a big pheasant. It looks like we'll have a treat tonight!"

Grandma put down the backpack and emptied the firewood in it, saying, "This is what Yueyue caught."

Wei turned to look at An Yue and said coldly, "Then eat two more pieces tonight!"

After Wei finished speaking, An Yue smiled faintly and said "hmm", then she carried the pheasant and walked towards the kitchen.

An Nian watched his grandfather sitting in the yard weaving a bamboo basket. He put down the basket and ran straight towards his grandfather. When he got close, he looked left and right, and even touched it from time to time while squatting.

Grandfather, who was busy weaving a bamboo basket, heard that it was Anyue who caught the pheasant. He stopped what he was doing, turned around and said with a smile: "Did Yueyue catch it? It seems that our Yueyue has become more capable."

After listening to his grandfather, An Nian said in an exaggerated manner: "Grandfather, you didn't see that my sister was very powerful today."
