The next morning, right after breakfast, Li Xiuzhen helped Wang Jianjun inside. Yu Songyu had already fed the two little dogs and sensed the situation outside, so she hurried back to her room.
"Xiao Yu! Xiao Yu!"
Hearing the calls from outside, Grandma was the first to greet them. Last night, Yu Songyu had already mentioned that they would be having Roe Deer meat today.
"Oh dear, does your back hurt?"
"It's just my tailbone that aches a bit; it’ll be fine in a couple of days!" Wang Jianjun replied with a cheeky grin, showing no signs of being reserved.
The Little Old Lady urged them to come inside quickly, worried that it might be slippery outside and he could fall again.
"Grandma's not here; I was hoping to help clean up the Roe Deer meat!"
"Just rest; you don’t need to do anything. Just wait to eat!" The Little Old Lady gave Li Xiuzhen a knowing look, signaling her to help Wang Jianjun into the house.
"Are you warm on the kang?"
Seeing Wang Jianjun still covering his backside as he walked, Yu Songyu couldn’t help but chuckle.
"Oh my, that fall was quite something! Why does it feel like everyone is treating me so kindly today?"
Wang Jianjun sighed. If he had known that Li Xiuzhen and Yu Songyu wouldn’t cause him any trouble, he would have considered himself lucky. Not to mention Yang Qinghe, that Cold Noodle Yan Luo—he would have kicked him twice if he were here. Life was tough for him!
Inside the house, Wang Jianjun played with Xiao He and the little dogs while the women were busy in the yard.
"Where's Captain Yang?"
Li Xiuzhen looked around but didn’t see Yang Qinghe anywhere.
"Oh, he has a meeting today; he should be back by noon! Should we wait for him before we start?"
After all, when it came to killing the Roe Deer, Yu Songyu neither dared nor knew how; she just had to wait for food.
"No need; I was just asking. We don’t really need him for this!"
Li Xiuzhen rolled up her sleeves and got to work with determination.
Everyone else was stunned; this child certainly had a lot of courage. She swung her stick and knocked the Roe Deer unconscious in one hit, dragging it onto the wooden board, ready for slaughter.
Oh my goodness!
Wang Jianjun, who happened to see this scene through the window, couldn't help but feel his heart skip a beat as he gasped in surprise. Thinking back on his own reckless behavior in front of Li Xiuzhen, he realized how fortunate he was that she had shown him some mercy.
By the time Yang Qinghe arrived at noon, a large bowl of fragrant Braised Roe Deer Meat was already served on the dining table. In addition, there was meatball soup to ward off the cold and warm the stomach. Golden corn cakes were piled high in a small basket. Grandma had also warmed up the liquor she bought from Supply and Marketing.
Yang Qinghe and Jianjun, in this freezing weather, why not join Grandma for a drink?
The Little Old Lady had developed a habit of having a little drink before bed when she was living alone. Over the years, countless nights were spent alone; without a drink, her mind would wander uncontrollably, making it hard for her to cope.
However, times had changed; now she had her Great-Granddaughter and soon would have a Son-in-law. She was so happy! Even though it was daytime, she couldn't help but want to have a couple of sips. But the effect of the liquor was now completely different from before.
Alright, we’ll drink with you!
Wang Jianjun and Yang Qinghe didn’t want to dampen the mood and readily agreed.
Everyone enjoyed the meal, toasting and exchanging laughter, making it as lively as a festival. A few little puppies, though still teething, each clutched a big bone and gnawed away happily.
