Su Ning and Qin Zhenzhen went directly to the yam field.
Recalling what his sister said to him, Su Cheng smiled.
Before he left, Su Ning reminded him. “Fifth Brother, come and pick yam beans with me! ”
“The yam beans we ate this morning were steamed and tasty, better than sweet potatoes.”
“Third Sister-in-law also said that she is going to make yam bean candied haws for us tonight. It will definitely be delicious!”
The candied hawthorns sold on the market were luxurious things for rich children. Su Cheng remembered that his parents had the chance to eat such things when they were alive.
She had not expected that her Third Sister-in-law knew how to make this.
Then they were going to get some more home.
So Su Cheng picked up the firewood even faster.
But he saw his Second Brother.
He knew that Qin Zhenzhen was near the trap he had set previously.
Su Cheng was very surprised. “Second Brother, what are you doing here? Are you hunting in the mountains?”
Su Ping shook his head. “Second Brother, help me with the firewood. It is winter soon, and the firewood is more important than the hunting…” More importantly, he could not hunt animals.
He used to think that he was very good at shooting wild roosters.
Although the probability of him hitting a wild rooster was very small, he was still proud of it. He bragged about it in front of his friends, telling them how good his archery was.
But right now, he found himself a little funny.
Third Sister-in-law killed one wild boar and drove away four or five men with a stick, but she did not brag to the villagers.
He was a man, what was he so proud of?
Hearing that, Su Cheng smiled happily. “I put sweet potato seedlings in the trap. If we are lucky, we can lure wild rabbits to jump down and eat them!”
“Even if Second Brother doesn’t hunt, we still have meat to eat!”
“Yeah.”
He felt a bit saddened when he realized that he was not as good as that chubby girl.
“You are right. I am the most useless person in the family. Even if I go into the mountains, you might not have any meat to eat.”
“But when I did not go into the mountains yesterday, you also hunted a big wild boar.”
Su Cheng consoled his second brother. “Second Brother, don’t say that. You are strong and you know martial arts. You are the one who dug the wild boar trap, how can you be the most useless one in the family?”
“We got the wild boar yesterday because of Third Sister-in-law. That is why we are so lucky.”
Su Cheng did not say anything more. He climbed onto the tree and cut off the dry twigs, whilst Su Cheng cleaned up the mess.
In this way, they were in a double-time speed.
Soon, Su Cheng tied up six bundles of dry firewood.
Second Brother picked the bigger ones, and he and his sister picked the smaller ones.
Su Cheng asked quietly, “Second Brother, can you tell Third Brother that Third Sister-in-law is actually a very nice person…’
Like his sister, he did not want his Third Sister-in-law to leave.
Su Ping shook his head. “He is the only one who can make the decision.” Su Cheng had nothing to say.
Second Brother was right. Only he could make the decision for Third Brother. Before helping Qin Zhenzhen to dig yams, Su Cheng went to check up the trap
first.
But apart from the sweet potato seedlings, there were no other animals in the trap.
Seeing the dried wild boar blood in the trap, he could not help but ask Su Cheng, “How did your Third Sister-in-law kill the wild boar?”
Su Cheng recounted the scene vividly.
He fell into deep thought.
Did Qin Zhenzhen really learn martial arts?
Qin Zhenzhen was surprised. “You are here to hunt?”
Su Cheng answered for his Second Brother. “My Second Brother is here to pick firewood and help to dig yams..”
