Farmer's eldest sister becomes rich

"She used a bamboo rake to pin down the pheasant in a 'whoosh' motion, and then she jumped up and held the pheasant down, so that no matter how it struggled, it couldn't break free." An Nian gestured as he spoke, looking very cute.

An Yue said to An Nian with a smile. "You make it sound like you were the one who caught it."

Then An Nian scratched his head and said mischievously: "Hehe...it's just that the pheasant was almost crushed to death by her."

An Yue put down the backpack and walked towards the two of them. An Yue took An Nian's hand, helped him roll up his sleeves, pretended to be unhappy, and said, "Hmm...? Bragging king! If you brag again, I won't let you eat! Humph! "

An Nian tilted his head and asked An Yue seriously, "Sister, there are no cows in my grandfather's family, where can I brag about it?"

An Nian's words made the grandparents in the yard laugh.

"Little guy, come on, go wash your hands!" An Yue held back her smile and pulled An Nian away to wash his hands.

"Sister, what's the point of bragging? Why are you all laughing?"

"It means bragging." An Yue explained while rubbing his hands.

Wei, who had prepared the meal in the kitchen, shouted, "It's time to eat."

The brother and sister had just washed their hands and were about to go into the house to drink some water when they heard Wei calling them to eat, so they had to go and set the table and prepare to eat.

The dishes were served and everyone in the family took their seats one by one. Thinking that they would have pheasant meat in the evening, everyone seemed to be in a good mood.

After lunch.

Just like usual, An Yue washed the pots and dishes, while An Nian wiped the table and swept the floor.

After washing the pots and pans, An Yue came out of the kitchen and saw An Nian and his grandfather in the yard. They seemed to be weaving something, and the two of them were talking and laughing.

She walked over with a smile and said, "Grandfather, I'll take An Nian into the house to rest for a while."

Grandfather nodded to her, and An Yue took An Nian's hand and prepared to go back to the house. They just walked under the eaves.

Wei suddenly shouted, “Yueyue, come here!!”

An Yue responded, then let An Nian go into the house first, and she turned and walked towards the kitchen.

As soon as I entered the kitchen, I saw Wei sitting under the stove, passing firewood into the stove, with the lid on the pot, as if she was boiling water.

"I've never killed a chicken before. Ask your grandfather to come over and help me kill it."

In this era, daughters-in-law usually did not talk much with their fathers-in-law, and her husband was not at home. In order to avoid embarrassment, Wei had to ask An Yue to ask him to kill the pheasant.

"Okay, I'll call grandpa to help!"

After smoking his pipe, my grandfather quickly came to the kitchen, caught a pheasant, grabbed its wings, plucked the feathers from its neck, and killed the pheasant in a few seconds and put it in a wooden basin.

An Yue asked Wei: "Aunt, how do you plan to cook this pheasant tonight?"

Wei said, "Use radish to stew. Clean it now and wait until the afternoon. I will start stewing early."

An Yue said, "Okay, I'll go to the woodshed and get some radishes, wash them, and cut them for you."

After saying that, An Yue walked towards the woodshed.

An Yue was wondering as she walked, she always felt that her aunt Wei treated her a little differently today than in the past, but she couldn't tell what was different.

My grandmother came to the kitchen yawning, carrying the bowl of chicken feed and ready to stay to help.

"Mother, please go back to your room and rest! Your daughter-in-law can do it on her own."

"Okay then! Be careful when you perm the hair, don't burn your hands~!"

Grandmother Zheng turned around and shouted again, "Yueyue, finish your work quickly and take Nian Nian to rest. We, the three of us, will go to the mountain again later."

From a distance, An Yue could be heard saying in the woodshed, "I know! Grandma."

An Yue worked quickly and efficiently. She washed the radishes quickly, cut them all and placed them in a wooden basin before returning to the house.

After waking up, the three generations of grandparents and grandchildren washed their faces, calmed down, took their water bottles, and carried their backpacks up the mountain.

Halfway through the journey, An Nian was somewhat reluctant to move forward. Although the road was not far, it was full of twists and turns and was quite tiring.

Seeing this, An Yue had no choice but to use her trump card.

"Here...little glutton?" An Yue took out the peony candy that her uncle had bought for her from her pocket. She was reluctant to eat it at that time, but now it finally came in handy.

When An Nian saw the peony candy in An Yue's hand, his eyes lit up.

With eyes wide open, he asked in surprise, "Sister, why do you still have peony candy in your hand?"

An Yue waved the peony candy in front of An Nian and asked, "Hey! Do you want to eat it or not?"

An Nian took the peony candy from An Yue's hand, hugged An Yue quickly, and said happily: "I'll eat it! I'll eat it! Thank you, sister, you are the best!"

"Little glutton! Can you walk now?"

"Hehehe... I can walk, I can walk!" An Nian had a grin on his face, licking the peony sugar while following behind happily.

Grandmother Zheng looked at the two children in front of her, one was only six years old, the other nine years old, both with tiny arms and legs, but every day they worked tirelessly like two adults, following her to work in the fields and go up the mountain to chop firewood.

Grandmother sighed deeply and said, "Ah... You and your brother have had such a hard time. You have to work in the fields and chop firewood in the mountains with us at such a young age."

"Grandma, Yueyue doesn't feel the hardship. With grandpa and grandma taking care of her, Yueyue feels very happy!"

The grandmother smiled at her sensible granddaughter, and helplessly hid the self-blame in her eyes.

The daughter-in-law, Wei, was staring at him, waiting to find fault.

They are old and can no longer control many things. If the two children do not go out with them to work in the fields, over time, even if the siblings are not wrong, they will be accused of wrongdoings, and then there will be all kinds of gossip.

The three generations of grandparents and grandchildren soon arrived at the same place as in the morning. Just like in the morning, the grandmother was picking up fallen fern leaves.

An Yue watched her grandmother chop dead branches in the morning, and she had already learned how to do it.

Holding a machete, they cut dead branches and dead trees everywhere. An Nian was responsible for pulling all the dead branches that could be pulled to where the backpack was placed.

In winter, the sun always sets early.

Seeing that it was getting late, my grandmother quickly packed the fallen leaves into a basket and tied up the branches, preparing to go home.

The three generations of grandparents and grandchildren carried firewood and hurried back home, trying to get home before dark.

As soon as I arrived at the village entrance, I found that my grandfather and uncle had just arrived.

Uncle Jiang Chenghai shouted, "Mom!"

"Ahai, why are you here?" asked the grandmother.

My uncle took the basket from my grandmother and said, "It's getting dark, and you haven't come home yet. My father and I are worried, so we want to come look for you!"

Grandfather took Anyueannian’s small backpacks and carried one in each hand.

"Mom, Wan'er has already prepared dinner at home, and is waiting for the three of you to come home and eat together!"

The uncle approached An Yue and asked curiously, "By the way, Yueyue, I heard from your aunt that you caught that wild pheasant?"
