As soon as he left the village chief's house, Meng Huaishao couldn't help sharing it. Seeing the baby's curious eyes, he became even more proud.

"I caught a hare and two pheasants today."

As he said this, he patted the backpack behind him and said, "It's still alive!"

Ye Yaoyao looked curiously, but didn't see a single hair. She only heard the sound of a struggle coming from the backpack.

Meng Huaishao was very careful in his work and covered the backpack with grass leaves.

"I'll show you when I get back."

Meng Huaishao patted the baby on the back and said mysteriously, "The tail feathers of that pheasant are so beautiful. I'll pluck them out for you to play with when we get back!"

Ye Yaoyao: “…”

Pheasant: You are amazing! You use my tail to coax the baby!

"Ah!"

Ye Yaoyao shook her head. She didn’t want it!

Seeing Ye Yaoyao's refusal, Meng Huaishao was a little frustrated. The little guy actually didn't like it.

However, he soon regained his spirits.

Game still sells well, and his rabbits and pheasants are still alive, weighing more than ten pounds in total, so they can be exchanged for at least a hundred cents.

I will go sell it tomorrow, and take the remaining copper coins to buy a stone mill.

Having made up his mind, Meng Huaishao told Ye Yaoyao about his plan for tomorrow.

When Ye Yaoyao heard that she could go to town, she was very excited.

"Ahhh!" I'm going!

"I'll take you to the village chief's house tomorrow morning and pick you up in the afternoon." Meng Huaishao said.

“Ahhh!” No no no!

Ye Yaoyao shook her head vigorously. She wanted to go to town too!

"Yaoyao, be good and listen to your brother." Meng Huaishao said with a serious face.

"what!"

Ye Yaoyao slapped him with her chubby little hands to express her protest, and her white and tender little hands turned red from clapping.

The two, one big and one small, could not convince each other along the way, and they returned home staring at each other.

Back at the thatched house, Meng Huaishao put Ye Yaoyao back into the room.

Then the pheasants and hares were brought out, with straw ropes tied to their legs. The pheasants' wings were also tied, and they were still flapping their wings in the same place.

Thinking of the angry baby, Meng Huaishao grabbed the pheasant's most dazzling tail feathers and pulled them out quickly, accurately and fiercely, causing the pheasant to scream "cluck cluck cluck" and jump around.

Ye Yaoyao listened to the chaos in the main room, full of curiosity.

As soon as I turned over, I saw Meng Huaishao coming towards me with a few feathers.

Ye Yaoyao's eyelids twitched, and she finally understood the reason for the chaos.

"Yaoyao! For you!"

Meng Huaishao handed the feather to Ye Yaoyao as if he was presenting a treasure.

Ye Yaoyao looked disdainful of Meng Huaishao's childishness, but she accepted it from the bottom of her heart.

“Isn’t this nice?”

Seeing that the baby liked it, Meng Huaishao supported himself with his hands and squatted in front of the bed, his dark eyes sparkling.

Ye Yaoyao couldn't bear to hit him, so she nodded.

"Aaaah~" It looks good!

"Brother, can I buy you a present tomorrow?"

"Yeah~" Okay!

"Then why don't you go to the village chief's house tomorrow and play with Zhuangzhuang?"

“Eh…” OK…?

Ye Yaoyao suddenly reacted and looked up at him in disbelief.

Meng Huaishao actually tricked a baby like her!

"Ah!" No!

Ye Yaoyao smeared pheasant tail feathers all over his face.

Meng Huaishao was not angry either. He gathered his tail feathers again and said earnestly, "Yaoyao, brother is worried about you too."

"Ahh!" I'm fine!

"You got frightened the last time you went out. I don't dare take you on this adventure anymore."

Whenever Meng Huaishao thought of the scene where Ye Yaoyao was frightened, even though several days had passed, he still felt a lingering fear.

"Ahhh!" No way!

Ye Yaoyao was anxious. Last time she was caught off guard and suddenly saw the big snake. She was afraid of mollusks and her family’s baby was weak, so she was frightened. Now she is fine.

"Ahhh!" I want to go out!

Ye Yaoyao pulled at Meng Huaishao's clothes and kept gesturing, her little face flushed with anxiety.

"Yaoyao, be good."

Meng Huaishao rubbed the fluff on the baby's head and continued to reason with him, appealing to his emotions: "Brother needs to buy a millstone tomorrow, and he won't be able to carry it with you."

Ye Yaoyao paused.

Just when Meng Huaishao thought Ye Yaoyao had figured it out, he saw her grinning.

Ye Yaoyao grabbed the quilt next to her, and the next second, the quilt was gone.

Meng Huaishao: “…”

Looking again, he found that the pillow was a little far away and he couldn't reach it, so he grabbed the tail feather from Meng Huaishao's hand.

"brush!"

The tail feathers are gone too.

Meng Huaishao was stunned.

Yes, you can bring things into that place.

Then, Ye Yaoyao grabbed Meng Huaishao and brought him into the farm space.

The quilt and tail feathers were lying on the ground, covered with dirt…

Meng Huaishao: “…”

Well, she was too lazy to pretend.

Is this kid trying so hard just to go out?

"You mean, you can collect the millstone?" Meng Huaishao confirmed with her.

"Yeah~" Of course.

Ye Yaoyao nodded, she was very useful.

"Okay, then I'll take you there tomorrow." Meng Huaishao thought for a while and compromised.

He doesn't need to work when he goes out tomorrow. He just needs to hold the baby in his arms and nothing should scare her.

Seeing that Meng Huaishao agreed, Ye Yaoyao was very happy.

Seeing that one side of the quilt had fallen to the ground and was already dirty, Meng Huaishao simply put Ye Yaoyao on it, rolled up his sleeves and went to work.

Ye Yaoyao just came back after eating, so it would be okay for him to work for a while.

After dinner, Meng Huaishao held Ye Yaoyao in his arms and sat in the main room watching the hares and pheasants.

The three of them huddled together, especially the pheasant whose tail feathers had been plucked. It looked at Meng Huaishao, shrank back, and seemed to be still trembling.

Ye Yaoyao looked at Meng Huaishao with disdain, thinking that he was still bullying small animals at such a grown-up age.

Meng Huaishao didn't care. He had finally caught a few living creatures and he had to let the baby see enough.

After watching for a while, the baby yawned and felt sleepy.

Meng Huaishao put the sleeping Ye Yaoyao on the bed and covered her with a quilt.

Fortunately, I still have a blanket, otherwise I can only cover myself with clothes.

Meng Huaishao took apart the quilt and washed it, fed the wild rabbits and pheasants some food, and went to prepare some coarse-grain cakes.

There is only one bowl of fried flour left, so take it all with you tomorrow.

When you get to town, you can ask for some boiled water to make it.

After thinking about it, he felt unsafe, so he simply sorted out a pile of firewood, picked up some stones, and put a small iron pot together.

If you can't get boiling water, just boil a pot.

"When Yaoyao wakes up, ask her to put all these away."

Only after making sure that everything was ready did Meng Huaishao feel relieved.

Ye Yaoyao was shocked by Meng Huaishao's preparation.

She only wanted to go out, forgetting that she was a baby who had to eat every two hours...

Fortunately, her cheap brother is reliable, otherwise she would have starved.

I collected the things in a good mood and waited to be fed.

Rice porridge again.

Ye Yaoyao felt like the food in her mouth was about to leave her mouth.

Although Meng Huaishao's porridge-making skills were mature, she couldn't keep up with him eating it every day, five, six, seven, eight times a day...

I can't stand it!

Ye Yaoyao was drooling as she looked at the wild rabbits and pheasants in the main room.

"Braised rabbit head, spicy diced rabbit, dry pot rabbit, roasted rabbit legs, Kung Pao chicken, mouth-watering chicken, beggar's chicken, pickled pepper chicken feet, cola chicken wings..."

"Suck it~"

The baby's saliva kept flowing down, wetting his clothes.
