The Siheyuan of the Young Educated Youth

After Huo Sheng had his meal in the morning after returning to the courtyard, he wanted to go out hunting. His family was living in hardship, and he wanted to catch more prey for them while he was still around.

Qi Feifei, "You were frozen for half the night last night, and got up early in the morning to practice martial arts with Huo Siyan. You didn't get much sleep, so you should take a good rest at home!

Even if we go out now, it's hard to hunt around here. Wolves have been roaming around here for so many days, and those that have not been eaten have been scared away or hidden.

If you go far away and can't come back for a day, your family will worry about you if you don't tell them first.

There are so many prey at home, you can take whatever you want and just say you just hunted it."

Huo Sheng always felt that it was not a good idea to always take Qi Feifei's things home.

"No need, the wolf legs at home haven't been eaten yet."

Qi Feifei knew what he was thinking, so she went over to hug his waist and coaxed him softly.

"You haven't slept at home for several days. Stay with me today. Tell your family tonight. I'll go hunting with you tomorrow, and we'll come back in a few days."

Huo Sheng couldn't stand her temptation and immediately fell for her. He didn't hesitate at all. Holding his wife, all he could feel was his heart beating faster and faster, and he was eager to do something...

The two of them spent half a day together and then took a nap. After dinner, they read for a while.

When Huo Sheng was about to leave, Qi Feifei brought him a pheasant.

"Take it back, it's just right for stewing mushrooms."

Huo Sheng carried the pheasant back to Huo Zhengping's home. As soon as he entered the door, he found that the atmosphere at home was not right and the brothers and sisters were not active.

"Dad, I'm back."

Huo Siying came over silently and took the pheasant from his hand.

Huo Sheng, you didn't react even after bringing back the prey?

Huo Zhengping, "Have you eaten? No, let Siying cook something for you."

Huo Sheng, "I've eaten."

Huo Sheng glanced around and saw Aunt Su was there today. He politely called out, "Aunt Su."

Su Xiaorou nodded, "Huo Sheng is back!"

Su Xiaorou was sitting on the south kang, her quilt already covered. It was obvious that Su Xiaorou was sitting next to Huo Zhengping, and then Huo Jun's quilt. Huo Siying and Huo Siyan were on the north kang, and his quilt was not spread out.

It was impossible for him to sleep on the same kang with his two sisters, but the other kang was not very big after the box and three mattresses at the end of the kang were removed, so there was no room for him.

Huo Sheng knew that his stepmother didn't want him to appear in their home. Such subtle little actions had happened frequently before.

He saw two leather vests placed next to Huo Jun's mattress. It seemed that Aunt Su knew about the leather vests. She looked unhappy. It was probably because of the leather vests.

In the morning, Huo Siyan was as eager as a young eagle, full of energy and determination to never give up. But now she was like a defeated rooster, with her head hung. She hadn't looked up since he came in.

He also felt a little uncomfortable because his father didn't wear it, and the whole family was unhappy.

"Dad, I just came back to deliver the pheasant. I have something else to do. I will come back to see you in a few days. I'm leaving now."

Seeing him about to leave, Su Xiaorou quickly said, "Huo Sheng, auntie has something to discuss with you. Look at your two waistcoats. They are too big for Siying and Siyan. They are just right for your father and Huo Jun. They are not in good health and need them. Can you buy two more for Siying and Siyan? They like them, so I don't want them anymore."

Huo Zhengping, "Where are you going to get the child?"

Su Xiaorou, "Huo Sheng is not an ordinary child, don't underestimate him."

People usually praise it to the sky, but when they use it, they say it doesn't work anymore.

Huo Sheng, "I don't have any now. If I had any, I would take them back. I'll see if I can catch any prey, skin it, and bring it back. Auntie, you can do whatever you want."

Huo Zhengping also wanted to make his two younger daughters happy, so he did not refuse.

Huo Siyan was unhappy, "Brother, you don't have to prepare for me. I can hunt and make leather clothes myself."

She can not only make waistcoats, she can also make fur coats.

Huo Sheng patted her shoulder and said, "Practice martial arts well. When you are good enough, I will teach you how to hunt."

Su Xiaorou disagreed, "Why should a girl learn hunting? How dangerous it is to go up the mountain?" The little girl didn't know her place.

Huo Sheng grinned and said, "I'm leaving first." They are a real family.

When Huo Sheng returned, Qi Feifei, who had been "playing" all day, was desperately trying to "catch" Bai Zhi in the backyard. He was so tired that he was sweating profusely. All his attention was on Bai Zhi, and he didn't notice Huo Sheng coming back at all.

The two were fighting, and Bai Zhi suddenly jumped away impatiently.

"That's enough, that's enough. With someone like you, you'll never be able to master this skill in your lifetime."

Qi Feifei was puzzled. Why couldn't she practice it? "Don't look down on me. You always say bad things. I can still do it without you..."

Bai Zhi interrupted her, "You should go take care of your little man! He's back again!"

He is absolutely right. A man who does this one moment and that the next, what good can he do?

He stepped away.

Qi Feifei was also helpless. She was having a great time practicing and would be unhappy if she was disturbed. She understood Bai Zhi for once.

Bringing Huo Sheng in, it was another shivering day. Qi Feifei asked him to take a bath.

When he came out, I asked him what happened. It was rare for him to come back for a few days, so why didn't he live with his father and get close to him?

Huo Sheng told him about their unpleasant quarrel over the waistcoat, but he didn't mention that Su Xiaorou didn't want him to live with her.

He was more concerned about the leather vest and wanted to talk to Qi Feifei about it.

Qi Feifei looked at him seriously.

"Don't you think this is your fault?"

Huo Sheng:?

Did he make the wrong gift?

Qi Feifei, "You should have made it clear who it was for at the beginning, then there would be no trouble later, right?"

Huo Sheng wanted to explain.

Qi Feifei raised her hand to stop him.

"I know you are soft-hearted and always afraid that others will feel uncomfortable or unhappy. You have good intentions.

But think about it, what happened later? Now the two sisters are even more unhappy than when you said it clearly at that time. You didn't achieve your goal, and everyone is unhappy.

You should have made it clear at the time, even if you promised them that you would buy them two more sets when you got back. How could I not give it to them? Even if I was stingy, you can hunt and tan leather, so it's not difficult to get two sets of clothes, but it's a bit troublesome.

Think about it carefully!

You have a good heart, but you also have to be soft-hearted at certain times. If you get into any trouble because of your soft-heartedness, don't blame me for being rude."

As Qi Feifei was talking, he suddenly became angry for no apparent reason!

Huo Sheng felt her mood change and his heart skipped a beat. Did she know about the machinery factory?

He quickly grabbed Qi Feifei's hand and said, "I will change. I will definitely change. Don't be angry. I will definitely change."

He had a premonition that if he didn't change, and offended someone again, she would skin him alive.

Qi Feifei also realized that her tone was a bit harsh, so she took a deep breath and suppressed her emotions. She thought that maybe she was too excited by the beating of Bai Zhi just now, and she stopped suddenly, and the energy was still dissipating.

She held his hand, touched it gently, and tried to slow down her tone.

"I'm not angry, and I'm not asking you to change for me. Just calm down and think about it carefully. If you think what I said is right, it's not too late to change. If you think what I said is wrong, you don't have to change."

Qi Feifei turned around and walked a few steps, then turned back and added, "I'm not coming over tonight, you don't have to wait for me."

Give him space and time to think carefully.

Qi Feifei went to the backyard. She wanted to continue the competition, but Bai Zhi would not come out no matter how she called her.

Qi Feifei had no choice but to fight with his fists and feet until he had used up all his strength. Then he went to the bathroom to take a bath, wash up, and return to the main bedroom.

This bedroom is luxurious and comfortable. Qi Feifei likes everything about it. Bai Zhi also said that all of this used to be hers, but Qi Feifei always feels that it is incompatible with her present self.

She never brought Huo Sheng in.

Qi Feifei picked up a white undergarment from the closet and put it on.

On the snow-white silk, there is an embroidered lazy little white fox. The back half of its charming little eyes are painted with light blue eyeshadow. Its eyeballs are like garnets, rosy and shiny. It is looking at the butterfly flying diagonally above it, with one of its front paws slightly raised, as if trying to catch the butterfly.

After Qi Feifei put on her clothes, she tried to smooth them out as usual. When she lowered her head, her eyes met the little fox's. She couldn't help but smile. It was so cute. She stroked it gently with her hand.

At this time, Qi Feifei felt relaxed and at peace.

Qi Feifei lay flat on the bed and closed her eyes. Her long black hair spread on the crimson mattress, making her look fair and radiant.

On the cliff behind the clouds, there is a flat bluestone, and next to it is a vigorous old pine tree with a strong and twisted trunk. Bai Zhi is sitting cross-legged, with a jade hairpin in her hair, wearing a white dress with silver cloud patterns shining faintly on it, her charming fox eyes are closed, and her hands are placed on her legs in the meditation seal.

Suddenly, the fox's eyes curved slightly, one corner of its mouth slightly lifted up, and then slowly returned to its original position.

Huo Sheng sat alone in his bedroom. Huo Zhengping had scolded him and even got furious with him before, but he always believed that he was not wrong. His grandmother's teachings had always been his life creed.

Even though he got into trouble at the machinery factory, he didn't think it was his fault, but rather that the two women were mentally ill and stubborn.

But Qi Feifei's attitude today scared him.

It is a very painful thing for him to deny himself and his grandmother, and he is unwilling to do so from the bottom of his heart.

I won't admit it. If I offend Qi Feifei in the future, the consequences will be...

Ugh!

Calming down and thinking carefully, it seems, as if, as Qi Feifei said, if I had been ruthless from the beginning, things might really have developed in a different direction.

At least Dad and Huo Jun's leather vests must be worn now. I came here from afar because I was worried about my father, but I ended up taking a big bag of things and didn't solve my father's urgent problem.

……

Huo Sheng rubbed his face vigorously with his hands and exhaled forcefully.

From the perspective of achieving her own goal, Qi Feifei was right. Otherwise, she wouldn't be so upset today.

How about trying it according to what Qi Feifei said later?

Huo Sheng put the matter aside and went to bed. Otherwise he would be very sleepy tomorrow and would not be able to hunt well, which would be even more troublesome. He had already caused a lot of trouble for Qi Feifei.

The next morning, Huo Sheng got up early to cook. He made some fried cakes, red bean and millet porridge, stir-fried green beans, boiled eggs, smashed cucumbers, and braised venison (which had been braised long ago).

Qi Feifei also woke up very early. The emotions from last night had long dissipated. She ran straight to the kitchen and saw Huo Sheng mixing cucumbers. She leaned over and said, "Ah~"

Huo Sheng picked up his chopsticks, picked up a piece of cucumber and put it into her mouth.

"How about it?"

Qi Feifei hugged his arm and chewed with a loud sound.

"Mm, very fresh and crispy, with a little sour, spicy and salty flavor, very appetizing. I'm starving."

She opened her mouth again waiting to be fed, and Huo Sheng picked up another piece of braised venison and put it in her mouth.

"Go wash up, the meal is ready."

The two of them were clinging to each other again, enjoying themselves, as if what happened last night had never happened. Huo Sheng's tense heart relaxed.

The two of them sat at the table. Huo Sheng took a piece of fried dough cake, put two pieces of braised venison and a few pieces of mixed cucumber on it, rolled it up tightly, and handed it to Qi Feifei.

"Get it."

Qi Feifei opened her mouth and Huo Sheng fed it into her mouth with a smile.

Qi Feifei smiled with her eyes narrowed and chewed the food happily.

Huo Sheng, "Have some porridge."

……

The two were eating happily when Qi Feifei saw a figure coming towards them along Huo Sheng's footsteps. It was a woman with a slender figure, and her exposed eyes and skin looked very young.

"Hurry up and get dressed. It seems like your sister is here to see you."

Huo Sheng, "It's over. I told them I live in a snow cave. Where can I find a snow cave now?"

Qi Fei ran to the bedroom, "Hurry up and get dressed, go out to meet her, take her to practice martial arts first, I'll dig a small snow cave for you, go quickly."

The two men were hurriedly putting on their clothes. As soon as Huo Sheng put on his hat, Qi Feifei threw him out.

Huo Sheng was walking towards the village while wearing a scarf, and met Huo Siyan halfway.

"Si Yan, you're out now?"

Huo Siyan took out a lunch box from her arms, "This is the big pancake that Siying just made this morning. I brought it here as soon as it came out of the pan. It's still hot."

Huo Sheng took it and said, "Tell Siying that I will get you two leather vests."

Huo Siyan, "I brought you the pancake not because of the leather waistcoat, but because you eat out every day, and it's not good to just eat meat, so you'll feel more comfortable eating it. I wanted to get some soup, but it would leak if I put it in my arms, so I didn't."

The main reason is that there is only one lunch box at home, and if it is filled with soup, there is no room for big pancakes. In comparison, it is better to send steamed bread.

Huo Sheng felt a little warm in his heart.

"Since you are here, I will continue to teach you martial arts. You need to learn it several times and practice diligently."

Huo Siyan wanted to go to his snow cave and take a look. "Brother, why don't you go back to the snow cave and eat while it's hot, and then we can practice again?"

Huo Sheng, "After practice, go back and eat the same. It will taste better if you roast it."

Huo Siyan had no choice but to follow him back to the place where they practiced martial arts yesterday.

Today Huo Sheng practiced again, and then corrected Huo Siying one move at a time. After the two finished practicing, Huo Siying had no time to go to Huo Sheng's snow cave, and hurried home to eat and go to work.

Huo Sheng returned to Qi Feifei's place. A large snow cave had been dug for him. He had laid some dry firewood inside, a wolf skin on top, and a military blanket. There were also enamel pots and lunch boxes next to it.

Qi Feifei, "I didn't have time to get the Ula grass, so I'll just give you this as a token of my appreciation."

Huo Sheng, "She went back and is busy going to work. She won't come today."

The two of them then returned to the courtyard to continue eating.

After dinner, he packed up his things and headed into the mountains, carrying his gun.
