Chapter 494 - 489: Going Back to Hometown Troublesome Matter 24 [Explosive Update 18]
Yan Jinsu left the house a little after six in the morning, arriving back at the foot of the family mountain before eleven at noon. When she returned, she arrived just in time to help Xie Jinghong prepare lunch.
Xie Jinghong had been in good spirits ever since yesterday’s card game with the Fan Family. Thinking that matters had settled, her heart lightened, and her cheeks beamed with smiles all morning long.
This brightened the children’s day at home too, as they indulged in a treat. A cheerful Xie Jinghong directed Xiao Wu and Xiaoqi to pick a good amount of wild hawthorns at the foot of the mountain on two paths. Though a bit overripe, there was plenty of sugar at home!
Even if they were a tad tart, the children felt they had contributed and were eating happily away.
Xiaojiu and Xiao Shi could only watch with their ’eyes’, but that didn’t dampen the twins’ spirits. Seeing their older siblings munching away, making faces and squinting, they too laughed joyously without having a taste themselves!
But after a morning of sour and sweet, six children felt bloated. Later on, hunger growled in their stomachs, grumbling. Fortunately, the household was different now, and snacks like finger biscuits and hard cakes were plentiful.
Xie Jinghong was genuinely surprised to see Yan Jinsu bringing home a big fat rabbit and two plump wild chickens.
When she heard grandma mentioning her younger sister-in-law going up the hill to hunt game, she thought grandma was joking. At most, she thought she went to pick some wild vegetables or gather firewood...
But who knew, she had actually gone to hunt real game!
Now, early in winter, there were still many game animals in the mountains. However, the average person’s reflexes are not as quick as the wild creatures, and they often return empty-handed from the mountains.
No one else had Yan Jinsu’s extraordinary ability to come back from the mountains laden with game!
