If she wasn't still young, Xue Yaya would have been...

She rolled her eyes at him and said coldly, "Brother Renzi, it's not a good thing to be so sloppy at such a young age!"

Oil? Xue Qianren looked around. Even people at home were reluctant to use oil when cooking. Where did he get the oil?

"Where on earth is the oil?" Xue Qianren looked around nervously, "Hurry up, I'm doing my own laundry now!"

Xue Yaya covered her face and said while holding the book: "No, I read it wrong!"

Lin Fubao looked at Xue Yaya and heard her say, "It's the oily-tongued You!"

Lin Fubao's expression relaxed, and he asked curiously, "Yaya, why are all the books put away?"

"If we don't put it away and someone else comes to borrow it, should we lend it to them or not?"

Xue Yaya said as a matter of course: "That's not our own book!"

Lin Baobao knew in his heart that it was best to put it away, but he still said anxiously: "Other people want to read the book..."

"We have copied a lot of them. If you want to read them, you can borrow this one from us. It is the only one of its kind in the world!"

Xue Qianyan lowered his head. Yaya was too arrogant! Xue Yaya patted his shoulder and said, "Brother, this is a rare edition!"

Xiao Meiniang came in and said, "The weather will be warm soon. Your father and his friends said they would pick a day to take you into the mountains!"

Lin Fubao felt a little uneasy. Xue Yaya asked, "Grandma, are we all going?"

Xiao Meiniang was stunned for a moment: "You want to act separately?"

Lin Fubao stammered. Xue Qianyan and Xue Qianren looked at Xue Yaya in confusion. Xue Yaya said, "I'll go first. I'll take Fubao with me when I'm familiar with it."

Lin Fubao felt a little aggrieved: "Yaya?"

"I don't mean to dislike you!"

Xue Yaya looked at Lin Fubao firmly: "I'm afraid I can't protect you!"

"Once I'm familiar with the route and have gained courage, I'll take Fubao into the mountains myself!"

Lin Fubao looked at Xue Yaya's determination, and all the barriers and grievances in his heart disappeared. Xue Qianren glanced at the two of them and said, "Then Qianyan and I will wait too. When the time comes, we will go into the mountains together, and we will rely on Yaya to protect us!"

Xue Yaya shook her head: "That won't work! As men of the Xue family, you must become stronger as soon as possible! I don't want to see two brothers running for their lives like crazy next time! It's shameful!"

Xue Qianren was so angry that her face turned red. Xue Qianyan lowered her head in embarrassment. Xiao Meiniang asked, "Are you planning to go into the mountains more often?"

"Grandma, I still like to eat meat!" Xue Yaya smiled flatteringly. Xue Qianren and Xue Qianyan's eyes widened and they said in unison: "We like to eat meat too!"

Xiao Meiniang said with a smile: "Has your family ever lacked meat to eat?"

Thinking of the Xue family, because several of them hunted, even if they are now engaged in farming, the three old men will not allow the next generation to lose the hunting skills. Whenever autumn comes, they can do less work in the fields, but they must go to the mountains. They would rather leave the fields barren than have their hands idle! Of course, the Xue family may have some problems, but their diligence is still worthy of recognition. Even Xue Libai, the most selfish in Xue Yaya's eyes, is the kind of person who completes the tasks in the fields and still goes to the mountains, without delaying either of them.

Although most of the prey was exchanged for money, the Xue family could still eat meat every now and then. Even though there were too many people and too little meat, they were still much better off than other families in the village. Even though every household raised chickens and pigs, they might not even be willing to eat eggs. When Xue Qianyan was playing outside with other friends, the eggs in her hand were snatched away by other children, otherwise why would Xue Qianyan, who already ate boiled eggs, love to eat them so much later? It was really because there were so many jealous people watching, and just the envy and jealousy, the eggs were extremely delicious!

"Grandma, I want to eat meat every day!"

Xue Yaya waved her little fist, she was born for meat, she was crazy about meat, she banged her fist against the wall for meat!

Xiao Meiniang wants to say: Which is more important, studying or eating?

But compared to the food she ate when she was growing up, she swallowed it all. What else can I say? It’s human instinct to eat good food!

"It's up to you!" She said with a smile, "But there is one thing you have to think about!"

The four little ones quieted down, and Xiao Meiniang said, "Human energy is limited. You should think about how to arrange your time. You can't delay your studies just for eating!"

Xue Qianren, Xue Qianyan, and Lin Fubao nodded obediently, while Xue Yaya was silent for a moment. After calculating the time, she said painfully, "It seems that I have to re-plan my time!"

The elders of the Xue family did not take their children into the mountains on a whim. In fact, the descendants of the Xue family grew up in the mountains and were influenced by them. But now that they have left the mountains, the children in the family have to go to school, and their understanding of the mountains is not much better than that of the villagers living in the mountains. Xueshanmu and Xueshanhong once lamented:

"I'm afraid that the hunting skills of our Xue family will be lost in the future!"

After the spring, the villagers would also dig some bamboo shoots and wild vegetables on the mountainside. In their climate, the temperature would rise rapidly in spring, and there was really no shortage of vegetables to eat in the fields. In addition, spring is the season for wild animals to breed, and Xuelier and his family would not go to the mountains unless they had nothing to do. This was the rule passed down by their ancestors, and they had to leave some space for others.

Taking the children into the mountains this time, in Xue Yaya's view, was no different from a family tour. To the outside world, they used the excuse of going to the mountains to worship their ancestors. The five middle-aged and young men of the Xue family, and the fifteen children of the third generation, all went into the mountains without exception. The three old men of Xue Shanhong also came with them, and they were the vanguards!

The group of people was in a mighty procession, and the tour guides surrounded them from front to back and from left to right. They taught us as they walked, one moment what kind of grass had what kind of medicinal properties and how to use it; the next moment how to tell the direction from the height of a tree; or which part of the mountain had the most rocks of certain shapes...

The final destination was the ancestral home of the Xue family in the mountains. Xue Yaya had only heard of it, but she didn't know that she had to cross the steep mountain edge. Fortunately, with the protection of the adults and the obedient children, they all arrived at the old house safely. Unexpectedly, the old house was not shabby. It was shorter than the house at the foot of the mountain. It had stone walls, a wooden structure, and tiles on the roof.

Xue Xiaoxiao was puzzled and asked, "Our house on the mountain is so nice, and we can go hunting, why should we go down the mountain?"

Xue Lili also asked this question. She was the most shocked among all the people. In her previous life, she knew that her brothers and sisters had been to the mountains, and that her ancestors had lived in the mountains, but she had never been to the mountains, nor had she seen the ancestral house. She had lived on the plains since then, and she did not feel that she was any different from others. Now that she saw the ancestral house, she could not help but think - if she knew this place in her previous life, would Xue Yunyun and the others be able to avoid those people...

Looking at Xue Qianren in front of her, Xue Lili came back to her senses instantly. There was no way to avoid him! This thing was a disaster when it was alive! She had forgotten about betraying her family and sisters.

Xue Qianren looked at Xue Lili sensitively, and when he saw her expression change instantly, he pretended not to notice. Xue Yaya pulled Xue Qianren's arm: "Brother Renzi, don't stay alone, don't go to dangerous places, and avoid being alone with Sister Lili!"
