Xia Kun hunted such a big wild boar, and the villagers came to watch the fun again.
The business of the village workshop is very good. As usual, most of the wild boar meat is sold to the village chief, and the remaining small part is kept for his own consumption.
"Brother Xia, you can give this piece to the new neighbor next to you!"
Seeing that the aunt was so cold, she made up her mind not to make friends with her, but she liked the little girl named An Yu very much.
Besides, she and An Yiheng still have cooperation, so they will inevitably have interactions in the future.
Xia Kun hesitated for a moment.
"Brother Xia, Brother Xia..."
"Um."
"Isn't it convenient for you to go next door? Yes, you are a man, so it is indeed inconvenient." Mu Siyu suddenly realized. "Then I will go by myself!"
Mu Siyu tidied herself up and knocked on the door next door with a piece of fat and thin wild boar meat.
"What's the matter?" Yu asked with a cold face.
"This piece of wild boar meat is just a congratulation on your move." Mu Siyu said with a faint smile.
"No need." Yu said and closed the door.
Mu Siyu: "..."
This woman has a very strange temper.
Forget it, I can't afford to offend him.
When Lu Xuan and Lu Zhiyun came back, they saw so much wild boar meat hanging in the yard and asked where it came from.
Mu Siyu would not buy so much meat at once, especially since the weather was still a bit hot, so much meat would not last long.
She told Xia Kun about catching a wild boar.
"Brother Xia, you are so powerful." Lu Xuan said sincerely: "My brother has hunted before when he went up the mountain, but you only went there once and you caught it. Your skills are much better than my brother."
Xia Kun glanced at Lu Xuan and said calmly: "I caught it from your brother's trap."
Yu's complaining voice came from next door. It sounded like An Yu broke something, and she disliked her because she would only cause trouble. She also said that the house was too small, not worth the money, that she had been cheated, and so on.
An Yu didn't even dare to say a word, and heard some banging and banging sounds, as if he was helpless and knocked something over.
"This aunt has a weird temper and is so indifferent to her daughter. I really feel sorry for An Yu." Mu Siyu sighed softly.
Xia Kun looked at the courtyard next door.
Lu Xuan asked: "Sister-in-law, do you recognize the person next door?"
"You recognize them too," Mu Siyu said, "They are Mr. An's mother and sister. But Mr. An is not here, so he should be staying at an academy in the city."
"It turns out they are his family members." Lu Xuan said, "Wouldn't it be convenient to discuss illustrations with him in the future?"
Mu Siyu chuckled twice: "Maybe."
Lu Xuan saw Mu Siyu's weird smile and didn't understand what she meant at first. After listening to the complaints next door for a long time, he finally understood why she had a weird expression.
That aunt seemed a bit difficult to get along with.
An Yu drank two bowls of cold water, but her stomach still felt uncomfortable.
She touched it, found the blind stick, and slowly walked out the door.
Yushi was embroidering handkerchiefs in her room and didn't notice An Yu going out.
An Yu didn't know where to go. She only knew that she was too hungry and wanted to walk around to see if there were any wild fruits and vegetables. She couldn't see them and could only smell them with her nose.
When passing by a door, An Yu stopped as he smelled the fragrance coming from inside.
It smells so good!
Is this the smell of meat?
Every time my brother comes back, my mother will buy meat, but she doesn’t have any. Only when my mother clears the dishes, my brother will give her the hidden meat to prevent her from finding out.
Creak! The door opens.
Xia Kun stood in front of An Yu.
"Come in."
An Yu couldn't help but tremble when he heard the cold voice: "I...I...I'll leave right away."
Xia Kun frowned and said calmly: "I didn't let you leave, I asked you to come in."
He had just seen her going out on the roof, and guessed that she had not eaten because there was no fire next door.
"Auntie." Lu Zhiyun tugged at the corner of An Yu's clothes: "Don't be afraid, Uncle Xia is not a bad person. Auntie, our family has made delicious food. Come in and eat some!"
"No." An Yu didn't dare even if she was hungry, because her mother said that a person should have integrity and not eat food that comes from outside. If her mother knew, she would definitely be beaten to death.
Lu Zhiyun ran back, and not long after, she ran out again. She held two big buns in her hand, stuffed them into An Yu's hand and said, "Shh, this is for aunt, it's a secret!"
An Yu smelled the fragrant smell of meat and touched something warm and soft, and knew what it was.
She was at a loss, neither could she refuse nor accept.
"Find a place to eat!" Xia Kun said, "Don't let your mother know."
The door closed slowly.
Xia Kun didn't force her to come in again.
Lu Zhiyun looked at Xia Kun: "Uncle Xia, that aunt is so pitiful."
Being so close to the next door, Ms. Yu complained all afternoon. They could hear her clearly and naturally knew what kind of life that beautiful aunt was living.
"I also heard her stomach growling." Lu Zhiyun said sadly: "It's very uncomfortable to be hungry. I've been hungry before and I wanted to eat the mud."
It was also the time when she was most hungry. Her mother changed, and her days got better and better after that.
Xia Kun touched Lu Zhiyun's hair.
His eyes are much softer.
An Yu smelled the aroma of the steamed buns and hesitated again and again before heading home.
She first held one of the buns in her arms, then pushed the door and entered Yu's room with a bun.
"mother……"
"do what?"
"This is the bun from next door..."
Yu Shi looked over coldly: "Are your eyelids that shallow? You just accept what others give you. Do you know what this is called? This is called a beggar."
"Mom, the sister next door knows my brother." An Yu couldn't eat alone, and wanted Yushi to taste the steamed buns. Because she knew that Yushi was digging at her, and she was also digging at herself.
Yu Shi was confused: "Know? How did we know each other?"
"I don't know how we met. By the way, it seems that the sister next door has a husband who is an official in the county government." An Yu said, "I heard what my brother said."
Yushi put down the handkerchief in her hand: "Really?"
"It should be." An Yu hesitated: "Mom, can I eat it?"
Mrs. Yu thought that the appearance of the young woman just now was indeed different from ordinary village women.
"I have two embroidered handkerchiefs here. You can send them to the next door as a return gift," Yu said.
An Yu was surprised.
Are you willing to go out with your neighbor?
Mrs. Yu thought very clearly that since An Yiheng knew the person next door and was walking around, and the other person had a husband who was an official, then the relationship had to be maintained.
"Mom, you can eat it!"
"Save it for tomorrow." Yushi said calmly.
"But..." She was really hungry.
Yushi frowned: "What did you do? Are you still hungry?"
An Yu lowered his head and said nothing.
"Mom, I'm going to deliver a handkerchief."
After leaving the door, An Yu took out the bun from his arms.
"I'm sorry, Mom, I'm really hungry."
She took a bite carefully and was immediately immersed in the delicious taste.
So delicious!
This was the first time she had eaten alone. Although she felt a little guilty, the moment she tasted the delicious food, her guilt felt much lighter.
