About half an hour later.
The family of three finally returned to the village.
Seeing the house at the foot of the mountain in the distance, Li Yu paused for a moment.
He pulled out a six or seven-jin fathead fish from the sled.
“Xiuxiu, you two can pull it back first, grab one for Uncle when you get to his house and stew it for them. I’ll take one to Hu’s sister-in-law.
Xiuxiu’s heart sank.
But she still whispered.
“Why don’t we go together? We can just go to Hu’s sister-in-law’s place to introduce ourselves, it will be easier to chat with her in the future.”
With that woman’s scandalous figure, Xiuxiu wasn’t willing to let her husband be alone with her.
He might just seduce her, and she would have no one to turn to.
“That’s fine, since your sister wants to go with me, little girl, this arduous task falls to you. Remember to pick a big one for Uncle and the others.”
“Ah!”
Xiao Min’s face was full of worry, she wanted to go and play too.
But carrying so many fish to someone’s house seemed a little inappropriate.
In the end, she nodded in agreement.
“But you two have to come back early, I’m scared by myself.”
“The flowers, Da Hei, and Er Hei are all at home. If you are scared, just play with them.”
“Okay then!”
The little girl reluctantly pulled the sled away.
Li Yu carried the fish, Xiuxiu followed behind, heading towards Lao Wu’s house.
Li Yu didn’t take his wife’s guarded attitude to heart.
As an experienced driver, if something really happened, he probably wouldn’t have the willpower to solve it.
After all, human progress lies in mutual communication.
Seeing such a big coconut milk, who wouldn’t want to feed her some pure milk if they had the chance.
After all, the saying that “food and sex are the desires of man” is no joke.
“Woof woof woof.”
Just as they reached the entrance.
There was a burst of barking from the courtyard.
Unlike their house, Wu’s family kept their dog outside the courtyard.
They simply built a makeshift rain shelter as a dog house.
Unlike their old man, who lovingly built a wooden shed for them, not only to block the wind but also to keep out the rain.
“Who is it?”
Inside the house.
Hu’s sister-in-law was feeding Ya Ya meat porridge.
Hearing the barking outside, she immediately became alert.
Ever since her husband died, the village had been buzzing with rumors about her.
Among them were some unmentionable words.
Hu’s sister-in-law also knew how attractive her figure was, she was alone in the house with her child.
If there was a truly malicious person who wanted to do something to her, she wouldn’t have much of a chance.
So usually, when someone came.
Aunts and sisters-in-law were easy to talk to, but if it was a man she wasn’t familiar with, Hu’s sister-in-law might not even open the door to them.
Fortunately, she had a hunting dog left behind by her husband.
Although it couldn’t go hunting with him, it was definitely a good watchdog.
It had also helped her fend off many petty thieves who came sneaking around at night, it was a great service.
“Da Hu, stop barking, it’s me!”
Li Yu pushed open the courtyard door, only to see Da Hu staring at him with vigilance.
Lao Wu’s eldest brother had wanted to have this guy mate with his house flower.
But unfortunately, it was rejected by the old man.
Because Da Hu was a dog with half wolfhound and half earth dog bloodline.
Their house flower was a purebred wolfhound, the old man didn’t want to mix it up.
Da Hu seemed to recognize Li Yu, quickly lowered his stance.
He not only whimpered, but also showed his floppy ears.
“Haha, good dog!”
“Hu’s sister-in-law, it’s me and Xiuxiu. We just caught some fish, there’s too much for us to eat, so we brought one over for you.”
“Oh, it’s Da Yu, come in, come in.”
After hearing the familiar voice outside.
Hu’s sister-in-law quickly pulled the door open from inside, warmly welcoming them inside.
“Sister-in-law, how is Ya Ya doing?”
“Thanks to the bear bone and meat you gave me, I made her some meat porridge and she’s doing much better.”
Li Yu and Hu’s sister-in-law were chatting.
Xiuxiu was curiously looking around the room.
There weren’t many decent pieces of furniture, but most of them were clean, showing that Hu’s sister-in-law took good care of them.
There was a black and white photo hanging on the wall, it must be the Lao Wu’s eldest brother that Li Yu mentioned.
After entering the inner room.
A little girl was still lying on the kang, her face was still a little pale, she looked about five or six years old.
Seeing them come in, she propped herself up to get up.
“Da Yu Uncle!”
“Hey, don’t get up, lie down, it’s cold if you get a draft.”
“Wow, such a big fish!”
Ya Ya had been planning to lie down, she didn’t have much strength.
But she noticed the big fish in Li Yu’s hand.
She couldn’t help but exclaim.
“It’s big, right? Your Da Yu Uncle worked hard for a long time to catch it. He specifically wanted to bring it to you to nourish your body.”
“Da Yu Uncle, you already gave us meat yesterday, I can’t take your fish.”
Seeing Ya Ya’s well-behaved appearance, Li Yu couldn’t help but sigh.
At her age, she should be carefree and ignorant, only knowing how to play.
But because of her family situation, Ya Ya was unusually sensible, which was a kind of forcing growth.
“Don’t be polite with me, I’m your old uncle. Giving you a fish to eat is nothing. When your Auntie gives birth to younger siblings, you’ll have to take care of them.”
The little girl then nodded solemnly.
“Don’t worry, Da Yu Uncle, I’ll take care of my younger siblings.”
“Hehe, you’re so sensible!”
Watching the big and small chatting, Hu’s sister-in-law suddenly thought of her late husband.
Once upon a time, he also teased his daughter like this, and the little girl laughed happily.
It wasn’t just the little girl, it wasn’t just her husband.
Unfortunately...
Thinking of this, Hu’s sister-in-law felt tears welling up in her eyes.
She quickly reached out to wipe them away.
She pretended to be calm and said.
“I see you two have been busy for so long and haven’t eaten yet. Just sit and wait a while, I’ll go cook.”
“No, no, no...”
Li Yu quickly stood up and stopped her.
“Sister-in-law, we just came to check on you. Xiao Min is already preparing food at home, it should be ready soon. You don’t have to bother.”
