Transmigration: I Have Storage Space in the Apocalypse novel Chapter 513

Chapter 513: Chapter 508: Troublesome Matters When Returning to Hometown 43 [Mass Release 37]

——————

Early winter in Qingfeng Village is a season of abundant harvest. As December approaches, taking advantage of the warm sunshine, the entire village springs to action.

Although Xie Tiesheng no longer has any fields, seeing Xie Tiesheng and his wife busily engaged, the old man couldn’t stay idle.

Zhou Xiuhua, on the other hand, is more open-minded. The children are all grown up, they say to wear a hat as big as your head, if she were to help Tie Dan now, making him think he can farm more fields, wouldn’t that harm the child?

Better to just leave things as they are, do whatever needs to be done, at most during the autumn harvest, she would make some tasty dishes for the children.

Xiao Wu’s chin hurt for four days after a fall, only on the fifth day could he eat meat normally.

To accommodate Xiao Wu, Xiao Si and Xiaoqi also stopped eating meat, joining Xiao Wu for plain white porridge. Yan Jinsu took the opportunity while the children were asleep to go hunting in the mountains.

Seeing that the children couldn’t eat meat, what could Zhou Xiuhua do? Of course, she started to cure the meat, as the weather began turning cold, it was time to make smoked and salted meat.

It was good for everyone to accompany Xiao Wu, having porridge and water for a few days, it was even better for cleansing the stomach.

Because of the autumn harvest, Xiao Yi and Xiao’er also got a week off from school to help with the farming, and they are considered the main labor force. But with Xie Tiesheng watching, Xie Jingwei and his wife didn’t dare to overwork their sons, allowing Xiao Yi and Xiao’er some free time to take Xiao Si and three other children to hunt wild rabbits and chickens in their own fields.

Some fields near the ditches also yielded several fat loaches, it can be said, the harvest season is the happiest time for the children.

Although their bodies are tired from the labor, now is the time when there is the most meat, and adults, being overtired from work, would spare no expense in cooking, using more oil and even buying meat!

Those lucky enough to have wild game in their fields have a real treat in store!

Rural children, as young as four or five, during the rice harvest, already know how to follow behind the adults with a bamboo basket, dutifully picking up the rice ears.

Xiao Wu saw that her family was busy, and although young, she was already very sensible, not needing instructions from her family, she could boil water, wash and select vegetables, and after finishing, she would go pick up rice ears, earning praise from everyone.

This year, their family did not have rice fields, but in the past, they did. Seeing Xiao Wu busy, Xiao Si and Xiaoqi didn’t care that it was no longer their family’s field, but stayed by Xiao Wu’s side helping to pick up rice ears. The siblings, often tired from time to time, would gather together, snag a field mouse or a loach directly in the field, and cook it right there.

With Xiao Yi and Xiao’er around, the adults felt reassured.

Qingfeng Village is backed by a large mountain, but as the mountain is too high and too vast, when the village faced a famine a few years back, many people perished within, and many elders are reluctant to let the family’s young men go hunting in the mountains.

This caused the villagers to only long for it, besides, in those days, there were many wolf howls and boar grunts, even if a big fellow over 1.8 meters went up the mountain, if he didn’t know the routes, lacked skills and courage, he wouldn’t likely bring back game, and might even return injured for his troubles, a loss not worth the risk.

Xie Jingchen is bold, but he is prudent, and hardly anyone outside knew that he dared to venture deep into the mountains to trap game at such a young age.

Once Xie Jingchen made a name for himself, the villagers took pride in him, no longer daring to coerce him to teach villagers how to hunt. He seldom returned, spending most of his time in the military, and the villagers could hardly affect him. freeωebnovēl.c૦m
