Chapter 142 Favors
Their grandmother immediately fell off the kang, her eyes fixed on the dozens of kilograms of venison, and said happily, "Oh my god, it's really different when my grandchildren come out to help. We got all these good things back and will cook them for you tonight."
"Are you okay?" Grandpa An asked the brother and sister with concern.
An Honglei shook his head and said, "No one was hurt, and we even hunted pheasants and rabbits. We can rotate our food during this time."
"I'm glad you're okay. You're all great. You're better than your dad." Grandpa An praised.
An Xueyan also showed her grandfather the bottle of deer blood: "Grandpa, we also collected deer blood. I will make deer blood wine for you and your mother to drink to nourish your body."
Grandpa An said with a smile: "Okay, this thing is very nutritious. The last time I had it was many years ago. Your father brought some back. I saved it and drank it in a year." Deer blood can be obtained if they dare to go into the mountains, so they have also drunk it.
An Qingyu held the meat and was thinking about what to cook it. She had never cooked venison before.
"How about stewing a venison soup, adding some stir-fried venison, and then adding some venison in a casserole?" After saying that, he looked at An Xueyan, because she was the best eater in the family.
"Sure. Add red dates, adenophora, polygonatum, lotus seeds, lilies, two slices of ginger and an appropriate amount of salt to the venison soup. No need to add other vegetables." An Xueyan told her sister-in-law the ingredients. She felt that this was the only way to ensure the original flavor of the venison.
"Okay." An Qingyu agreed immediately. They had all these seasonings at home. Her third brother had collected them from outside just to let his daughter eat delicious food.
Seeing grandma moving the meat to the kitchen, An Honglei reminded her, "Grandma, don't forget the portion for uncle, and also for fifth uncle, eldest aunt, godfather and the others."
"I know. I'll save some. Your uncles and aunts have eaten so much delicious food from you. If they dare not treat you well in the future, grandma won't let them go."
Zhang Guihua said that several families had eaten a lot of meat brought back by the two children this year. It was still okay since the eldest and second children were in the village, but she would have to talk to the fifth and eldest daughter about it when they came back next time, and she must not forget the contributions of her nephews and nieces.
An Honglei smiled and said to his grandmother, "My uncles and aunts are very kind to us. The situation you described will never happen."
An Xueyan also nodded and said, "Yeah, last month Fifth Aunt bought us a piece of cloth to make new clothes, and Big Aunt also bought us shoes and some food for Dad to bring back. They are all very nice."
The family atmosphere in the An family is very good, and there are no conflicts between brothers and sisters-in-law, except that her second aunt's character is a bit stingy, but with her second uncle in charge, this does not affect the interpersonal relationships.
Zhang Guihua cut out 3 kilograms of venison and asked the brother and sister to send it to their uncle's house. She also cut out 3 kilograms each for the fifth child and the eldest daughter. As for the brother and sister's godfather's house, she directly cut out 5 kilograms and put 10 kilograms aside, intending to let the third child distribute it himself.
She knew that the third brother still had to rely on others for favors, so she would not say anything if the meat stored at home was occasionally sold out. She believed that the third brother had his own prospects at such a age.
The eldest son, An Qingguo, had just returned from the brigade headquarters. As soon as he entered the yard, he heard the third son's child calling him.
He turned to look at the basket in his nephew's hand and asked with a knowing smile, "What goodies have you brought me again?"
"It's venison. Uncle, you can try it." An Honglei handed the basket to his uncle.
An Qingguo accepted it without hesitation and said cheerfully, "This is a good thing. Uncle will accept it. Thank you, Shitou Yanyan."
He would not be polite to his younger brother's family. Brothers would always go together when there was something going on, so eating something was no big deal. Besides, since his nephew brought it, it meant that there would be no shortage of food at home.
At this time, the eldest aunt came out of the house and said to the brother and sister, "It's just right that you two are here. I made a pair of cotton shoes for each of you. Come in and try them on."
The two followed him into the house and greeted their cousin, cousin's wife, cousin, and niece. The aunt took out the shoes and handed them to the brother and sister.
She smiled and said, "I just finished making it this morning. You can try it and see if there is anything that doesn't fit. I'll make some changes for you later."
An Xueyan put on her new cotton shoes, jumped a few times and said to her aunt, "Thank you, aunt. The shoes are very comfortable and don't need to be altered."
An Honglei also said: "Mine doesn't need to be changed, thank you auntie."
"We're all family, so why thank me? We've eaten a lot of your meat. This is a little gift from your aunt."
Thanks to these two children, the family's food has improved a lot this year, and the tonic medicines given to them by her niece are all free of charge. She knows that there are many precious medicinal materials in them, so she is happy to make things for the two children.
Her son and daughter-in-law had no objection to her actions, as they had enough to eat.
"Aunt Yan, the shoes are beautiful."
An Yunyun, who had grown up a little, spoke much more fluently. She liked the cotton shoes on An Xueyan's feet, which had a small flower on them.
Seeing her granddaughter's look, Zhao Shufen smiled and teased her: "Yunyun likes it. Do you want it? Grandma will make you a pair when she has time, okay?"
"Okay, I also want the same flowery one as my aunt's, and a furry one next to it." As soon as An Yunyun heard that she could have one, she started to make requests.
Maomao is a caterpillar~
An Xueyan's body trembled, and she was speechless when looking at her little niece. It turned out that her little niece's hobby was really special.
Her mother, Zhang Xiu, smiled and coaxed her, "Just embroider some flowers, no need for hair. Too much will tire grandma."
She is also helpless about her daughter's hobby.
Little An Yunyun still feels sorry for her grandmother.
"Okay then, I can't tire grandma out."
After staying at their uncle's house for a while, the brother and sister went home with their new shoes.
When Zhang Guihua saw the new shoes in their hands, her face was full of satisfaction. She thought that the eldest daughter-in-law was worthy of being their eldest daughter-in-law, and she was thoughtful and considerate.
After a while, An Qingping came home from get off work. Knowing that his daughter wanted to make deer blood wine, he took on the task of buying the wine.
After the food in the kitchen was cooked, he packed out a portion and sent it to Dr. Huang.
The family started eating after they came back. An Qingyu cooked five dishes in total. Although the portions were large, they were all eaten up by the whole family.
She drank up all the soup and walked around the room, touching her full neck. She hadn't eaten venison for a long time, so she couldn't help but eat more.
The same thing happened to her, as did her second wife’s brother and sister. They went home and told their father about the impact of poor eating on their health.
Their father simply waved his hand and asked them to bring out five pounds of meat to cook. They finally experienced the feeling of being full of meat at home.
Not long after the meal, my second uncle An Qingshun came to the old house with venison in his hands.
"Dad and Mom, I know you have something to eat tonight, so I'll eat and then bring you some meat."
