Chapter 15 The Miserable Woman 15
In the following days, Chen Shengjun never dared to appear in front of Yuanchun again.
After work that afternoon, the village chief held a meeting and announced, "The autumn harvest will begin in three days. I will give everyone three days off so that you can go back and prepare for the autumn harvest."
Even on holidays, the villagers were not idle. The men went up the mountain to chop firewood, and the women went up the mountain to pick mushrooms and dig wild vegetables.
Everyone tried to bring back as much food as possible.
Once the autumn harvest began, no one had time to go up the mountain. Even children of a few years old had to go to the fields to pick up wheat ears. Therefore, in order to avoid starvation during the autumn harvest, every family would get up early and run to the mountains.
Yuanchun had been eating wild vegetable buns for a few days and was craving for meat.
The meat at this time is not the meat of supernatural beasts after the apocalypse. It is hard to eat and chew, and not fragrant, like eating old tree bark.
The meat of the small prey in the mountains is absolutely delicious. If her grandmother and several other women had not kept a close eye on her after Chen Shengjun bullied her, she would have come to the mountains to hunt and improve the food for her family a long time ago.
Fortunately, the opportunity has come.
On the first day of going up the mountain, Yuanchun sneaked away when Grandma Feng and others were busy digging wild vegetables. An hour later, there were two wild rabbits, three pheasants, and more than twenty pheasant eggs in her basket.
Perhaps there were too many people coming to the mountain to pick wild vegetables, so Grandma Feng and her friends didn't even notice that Yuanchun had disappeared. When they returned home at noon, Yuanchun took out five small prey from the bottom of the basket, shocking everyone in the Feng family, young and old.
"Yuanchun, this...how could you catch all this?" Liu Qingqiu was surprised at his daughter's good luck.
When going up the mountain to dig wild vegetables and pick mushrooms, who wouldn't want to catch a pheasant or rabbit to have a snack? But pheasants can fly and rabbits run fast, so how can they be caught so easily?
They saw it, but couldn't catch it.
I could only watch them disappear from my sight.
If you are lucky, you can also pick up some pheasant eggs.
But my daughter caught three pheasants, two hares, and dozens of pheasant eggs. Her luck was simply amazing. "Sister, you are so good. How did you catch them?"
"Big sister, please teach me. I also want to catch pheasants and rabbits."
"Meat, so much meat, sister, I want to eat meat." Several children happily surrounded a pile of small prey, drooling and mumbling.
Grandma Feng slapped her thigh and whispered, "Hey, keep your voices down, keep your voices down, don't make any noises, or else someone will hear you. You won't be able to eat the meat alone."
At that time, the state had strict control and the prey hunted in the mountains had to be handed in. Of course, small prey did not need to be handed in, but Yuanchun had hunted a lot. If someone found out, they would get jealous and force them to hand it in. Their family really couldn't just eat it all by themselves.
The Feng family fell silent immediately.
But the joy in his eyes is still there.
Qiu Guihua was the most efficient person. She quickly went to the kitchen to boil water and prepare the pheasant.
Feng Dasheng also handled the two hares skillfully.
At night, the Feng family did not cook meat. Firstly, they were reluctant to do so and wanted to save the autumn harvest for everyone's health. Secondly, cooking meat would give off a fragrant smell and the Feng family did not want to cause trouble at this time.
But during the autumn harvest, some well-off families would buy some meat in advance, and when the aroma of meat wafted around, no one would suspect anything.
Although there was no meat to eat, Grandma Feng cooked seven pheasant eggs for the children.
Yuanchun and Ding Chunli also got one.
In the afternoon, not long after Yuanchun arrived at the mountain, she wanted to sneak away, but Grandma Feng called her and said, "Yuanchun, where are you going to dig? There are a lot of wild vegetables here."
