Zhang Wuya's eyes were as gentle as water, gently falling on Xiao Youniang's smiling face, and a warm current surged in her heart.

After thinking for a moment, she said seriously but with a hint of joking, "What if the one I like is you? Is that an answer?"

The little girl's eyes suddenly lit up, and she nodded repeatedly, her little head nodding like a chicken pecking at rice: "Of course! Then I am my sister's favorite 'first treasure'! In the future, we will look for the second, third, and countless more treasures together!"

The innocent words of Xiao Youniang gently touched Zhang Wuya's heart.

Although Zhang Wuya still has not clearly understood her hobbies, she feels very happy on the road of exploring with her sister.

The two sisters talked and laughed as they walked, and before they knew it, they had arrived at the foot of the mountain.

Zhangjiazhuang is surrounded by mountains, and the green mountains stand proudly among them with their majestic posture.

In addition to working hard on the farm, the villagers at the foot of the mountain would occasionally go up the mountain together to search for rare treasures in nature, adding a touch of mystery to their ordinary lives.

The little girl naturally did not dare to go deep into the deep forest alone, but the games she played at the foot of the mountain were equally fun.

With the advice of her elders, she learned to explore within a safe range, and this place always brought her unexpected surprises, such as pheasant eggs accidentally found in the grass. That little bit of luck always made her cheer.

These unexpected gains not only won Xiao Youniang some love at home, but also made her childhood more colorful.

Every time she found pheasant eggs, Xiao Youniang was reluctant to eat any of them and carefully preserved them all.

Thinking of her parents who had just returned from afar, she secretly made up her mind to find more delicious food to share with her family.

The villagers who met them on the way were very familiar with this lively and lovely pair of sisters and stopped to greet them.

Xiao Youniang knew that her sister Zhang Wuya was shy, so she took the initiative to break the silence and greeted her gently.

Her eyes sparkled with excitement as she announced the news of her parents' return home to everyone around her.

"Oh, this is such great news!"

A middle-aged man who was quite familiar with Xiao You's mother's family background seemed to relax all the wrinkles on his face after hearing the news.

He bent down, carefully picked out a few fresh pears from the bamboo basket behind him, and handed them to the two sisters.

The young girl looked at the pear that the uncle handed over and instinctively wanted to refuse it, but she could not resist the uncle's persistence and enthusiasm, so she had to accept it shyly.

"Remember, kids, just play at the foot of the mountain. Don't run up the mountain. Wild boars often appear there, and they are not for fun." The uncle warned earnestly.

The little girl responded with a crisp "OK".

After the uncle's figure gradually faded away, she carefully examined the pear in her hand, selected the plumpest one, and handed it to Zhang Wuya with great anticipation, "Sister, please try this, I guarantee it is the sweetest!"

Zhang Wuya took the hairy pear, gently stroked the slightly soft skin with her fingers, and gently peeled it open to reveal the crystal clear flesh inside.

When you take the first bite, the sweet juice instantly explodes in your mouth.

She couldn't help but take a few more bites, enjoying the rare sweetness.

The little girl watched from the side, her throat rolled unconsciously, and her eyes secretly swept over the remaining three hairy pears. Although she felt itchy in her heart, she finally suppressed the urge to taste them.

She thought silently in her heart that such a good thing must be saved for her parents and brother who had not returned home for a long time.

She carefully put the pear into her pocket and then immersed herself in the surrounding grass.

Her fingertips accidentally touched a small round object.

The little girl was pleasantly surprised and quickly pushed aside the grass around her. Suddenly, she saw several small and delicate pheasant eggs in front of her. They were green with a hint of white and gleaming with dewdrops!

This unexpected gain made her eyes light up and her face was filled with a smile that she could not hide.

Zhang Wuya followed closely behind, her eyes revealing a bit of surprise and admiration for her sister's good luck.

The little girl called out anxiously, "Sister, come and help us, let's take these eggs home and nourish our parents!"

As she spoke, she had already begun to carefully collect the eggs, fearing that they might be broken.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Wuya immediately joined the action. The two sisters cooperated well and quickly collected all the pheasant eggs in that small piece.

Just as they were preparing to return home with their full harvest, a gurgling sound came from deep in the grass, getting closer and closer.

The little girl's ears keenly caught this unusual sound.

The moment she looked up, she saw a colorful shadow suddenly rise into the air from the grass and fly towards her.

The next second, a pheasant fell straight onto her legs, lost consciousness instantly, and lay on the ground with its four legs up in the air.

This scene happened so suddenly that Xiao Youniang was caught off guard. She quickly grabbed Zhang Wuya's arm and explained in a panic: "Youniang really didn't touch it, it flew here by itself!"

That innocent yet anxious look makes people feel both heartbroken and funny.

Zhang Wuya seemed calmer. She patted her sister's hand gently to comfort her: "Don't be afraid, it's okay. We can take this pheasant home and ask my second brother to make delicious chicken for us. It will improve our food!"

When she heard the word "meat", the gluttony that Xiao Youniang had suppressed with great difficulty began to stir again.

There were very few meat dishes on the Zhang family's dining table. Even if they occasionally bought some meat to satisfy their hunger, it was often the privilege of the brothers to enjoy these delicacies. The most Xiao Youniang could do was to soak a bowl of rice in the leftover broth.

Just taking a small sip, the aroma of the broth was enough to make her savor it for a long time. If she could really taste the meat, the feeling of happiness would probably be beyond words to describe.

She quickly agreed to her sister's expectant proposal, her heart surging with excitement to try it out.

Not only that, she also offered to take on the task of carrying the pheasant.

When Zhang Wuya looked at the pheasant carefully, she saw that it was quite large and heavy. She suddenly felt a little reluctant, fearing that it would tire out her petite sister.

She gently took the thick chicken claw from her sister, and the two sisters walked slowly towards home, shoulder to shoulder.

On the way back, it was the most peaceful and beautiful moment of the day, but unexpectedly, this tranquility was soon broken.

Zhang Liuwa, the naughty boy who always liked to cause trouble for Xiao Youniang, was now playing in front of the door with a group of playmates of the same age.

Since witnessing the misfortune of the eldest family, most of the children have become much more restrained. Only Zhang Liuwa, when he sees Xiao Youniang, still regards this younger sister as an object that can be teased at will.
