Siheyuan: Big City, Small Love

Wu Juan had to leave early in the morning, and Xiao Laizi also woke up early to help his mother pack.

After finishing, without disturbing grandpa and grandma, He Lai hugged Xiao Lai and kissed him, "Xiao Lai, be a good boy at grandpa and grandma's house, don't run around, and visit grandma and grandpa more often for mom, okay?"

"I know, Mom. Be careful on the road." He Lai looked reluctant, after all, he had never been separated from his mother.

Mr. He and Mrs. He were actually awake, but it was difficult for them to go out, so they watched Wu Juan leave the yard.

The sky gradually cleared up. Winter in the countryside is very monotonous. Without the farm fellows, and the weather is cold, everyone gathers together to keep warm and chat.

How could He Lai stay idle? He learned many methods of catching rabbits and pheasants from Douyin, and got a lot of wire from Uncle Li. He made more than 30 rabbit-catching tools by himself. He must eat meat every day!

So he carried his small cloth bag and went out with Da Hu and Xiao Hu from his eldest uncle's family and Da Wa from his second uncle's family. The group soon arrived at the halfway point of the mountain.

He Lai directed everyone to look for rabbit holes everywhere, as long as the holes were big. Soon, He Lai had set up all the traps, and then He Lai tied the remaining rabbit traps in the nearby woods.

After all, there are still some small animals that are likely to appear here, so I put some shredded cabbage. I just went back. It was too cold, I couldn't stand it.

The next morning, He Lai, Xiao Hu and others couldn't wait to run to the mountain to check the trap.

"Wow, there's one here!" He Lai shouted excitedly.

When the friends heard the noise, they came running. He Lai quickly grabbed the rabbit's ears and handed them to Da Hu, then put the rabbit trap away and prepared to move to another place.

"I can eat rabbit meat today!" Dahu said happily.

He Lai smiled proudly and said to Da Hu, "Brother Da Hu, you are amazing, right? I learned this from an old man in the city. I heard he is an old hunter!"

Da Hu quickly gave a thumbs up.

The group began to check the traps again, and found two more, a total of three, which was enough for the whole family. Let Big Tiger and Little Tiger catch the rabbits, while he began to adjust the traps that didn't hit.

Finally, I looked at the traps in the woods and found a pheasant. Not bad! So I scattered some cabbage leaves around. If you don’t believe me, you guys will come and eat them.

In this way, everyone went down the mountain happily with their harvest.

Passing by the Wu family, he threw a wild rabbit and ran back. He heard Old Mrs. Wu shouting behind him but did not stop and returned to the He family.

"Grandma, we caught a rabbit!" Dahu shouted loudly.

Upon hearing the sound, Old Mrs. Wu immediately lifted the curtain and walked out, and saw the hare in Dahu's hand.

"My eldest grandson is so amazing!"

"Grandma, it was all caused by Xiao Laizi's trap."

"We all found him together and caught him together." He Lai quickly replied.

"Okay, you are all my good grandchildren. I will cook rabbit meat for you today."

A group of children suddenly screamed, and Grandpa He also heard the sound coming from his uncle's house.

I saw two rabbits and a pheasant and was amazed. Is my grandson so good? Hunters can hardly catch anything in winter, but my grandson can do it.

"Show grandpa the rabbit trap." Grandpa He also looked curious and said he would learn from it when the time comes.

Next, the seven little ones watched their grandfather cut open a rabbit. Rabbit hair is a good thing, and Grandpa He said he would make gloves for Xiao Laizi when the time comes.

In the evening, the old couple of the He family and their seven children began to eat rabbits, and the pickled cabbage was no longer delicious.

Just like that, now Grandpa He has also joined the team of the seven little ones and has strengthened the placement of traps. The old man has his own unique insights.

There were gains every day. In the end, Mr. Wu also sent his two little grandsons to join the big team. He himself would not go, unless the old man did not go. In a word, he would go or I would go! In the end, each person led the team for one day.

The days passed like this, and one day, Mr. Wu led a team to inspect and harvested 4 rabbits and a pheasant.

It should be said that grandpa is better than grandpa. Grandpa Wu was also very happy. He took the prey to the forest to check the big rabbit trap. He found a silly roe deer weighing more than 20 kilograms trapped. The old man took the lead and hit the head with a hoe.

The nine little ones rushed over and surrounded the silly roe deer. Mr. Wu laughed even more happily.

They carried the roe deer back in a mighty procession, packed up the prey at Wu's house, and asked the other six kids to take half of the roe deer and two rabbits back. After all, there was more meat, so they took it back first and didn't eat it at Wu's house.

He Lai was invited by Mr. Wu to have dinner with him, and the rest of the work was left to his grandmother and aunt.

Old Master Wu held He Lai in his arms and talked with a smile, telling him interesting stories about his mother's childhood. Only then did he realize that Xiao Laizi came out of his mother's Xiao Juanzi. Alas, there was no way to get rid of this little eunuch.

I also want to change my name, it would be great to be called Lailai!

The protest is ineffective, Xiao Laizi is still the same, Mr. Wu is really a dictator!

This spore meat is delicious. It cannot be compared with rabbit meat no matter how it is cooked. Rabbit meat is too tough and needs to be cooked by a master chef to be delicious.

Old Mrs. Wu directly made 2 kilograms of spore meat, and pickled the rabbit and pheasant.

It smells so good. I hope to have another one tomorrow.

The next day, Grandpa He also brought the six little ones to grandma's house to call for help. When Grandpa Wu saw them, he looked very upset and turned his head away with a snort. The three little ones joined the team.

Came with high hopes, left disappointed. Mr. He was a little depressed. It was just a wild rabbit? Did the old man do something? That shouldn't be the case. Didn't he watch it the next day?

Do you accept your fate? Grandpa He pulled out half of the trap and changed places! It took him half a day to finish it. Little did he know that tomorrow was the day when Grandpa Wu would come. I wonder if he would regret it when he thinks about it tomorrow!

"Since we have no catch today, let's dig a trap! Maybe the prey will fall into it!" He Lai suggested!

"Then wait a little longer. Xiaohu, you guys keep an eye on the surroundings. Dahu, let's find a place to dig together."

Da Hu was 14 years old after all, and he was already quite strong. So the old man and the young man dug with their hoes, and the other eight children threw the soil they dug far away.

After half an hour, the trap was dug. A depth of one and a half meters was enough. Then the four walls were straightened to prevent the prey from running up. Then branches were put in place, dead leaves were spread on the trap, and vegetable leaves were poured on top.

In this way, Mr. He took the nine children and asked the two children of the Wu family to take the rabbit back, and told them to keep the trap a secret. Little did they know that he was someone else's grandson!

In this way, Grandpa Wu and Grandpa He each had a day's harvest but their harvest was very little. Only He Lai continued to scatter vegetable leaves.

Mr. Wu led the team again that day, but it was still an empty air attack. There was nothing they could do because there were probably no rabbits.

Just when I was thinking about going back, I suddenly remembered the trap that Grandpa He Lai had dug! So I asked He Lai to lead the way to have a look. He Lai scratched his head, embarrassed that he had kept the trap secret from his grandfather, so he led the way.

Wow! The scene was in a mess, and it was clear that there was a harvest, an adult wild boar and a piglet. Wow, wow, wow, old man Wu quickly asked Da Hu to call grandpa.

He then paid attention to his surroundings and asked the children to leave the forest first in case there were any wild boars outside, while he stayed here alone.

After a while, Mr. He came over with his uncle and second uncle, carrying a shotgun.

"Haha, Old Man Wu, my trap is pretty good, isn't it?"

"Stop talking nonsense. It's all because of my Juanzi's good teaching. Xiao Laizi is so smart. If you rely on him, you will never be able to eat meat in your lifetime!"

Mr. He did not refute. Although she is your daughter, she is my daughter-in-law now. If the son is unreliable, the grandson will make up for it!

The wild boar was successfully sent away with guns. The eldest uncle and the second uncle worked together to carry the wild boar out. The eldest uncle and the second uncle carried the big wild boar, while Da Hu and the others carried the small wild boar. They all walked towards the village chatting and laughing.
