"Jiang Ning, you’re truly a kind-hearted person, reuniting the family of three!"
In the vast snowfield, Xue Yuantong’s footprints stamped out cute marks as she trudged towards the bungalow in the west.
Jiang Ning carried a snake-skin bag: "A family should be neat and complete."
Beside him, Xue Chuchu was montarily speechless, too brutal, the two of them.
She deeply realized that she was the most conscientious mber of the team.
Snowflakes filled the sky, the footprints they made on the way had already been covered, making it impossible to trace them, even they seed to blend into the snow, becoming part of the scenery.
Gradually, as they reached the bungalow, only the snow-covered ground at the entrance held a series of footprints of varying depth clearly visible, so straight, so winding, marking human activities.
Xue Yuantong saw Jiang Ning carrying the snake-skin bag and recalled Bi Yue’s words, thinking they shouldn’t make it too obvious, she reminded: "Jiang Ning, let’s hide the rabbit well, pretend we didn’t catch any, stay low-key."
Jiang Ning was adept at the art of concealnt, he agreed, and slung the snake-skin bag behind his back.
Xue Chuchu: "Ah, does it make a difference?"
...
Now, it’s less than noon.
Butcher Zhang and Zhang Ruyun were sitting at the entrance, River Dam Bungalow was remote, no heating supplies, Hui Province wasn’t popular for large heating beds, air conditioning was too expensive, the father and son didn’t want to cover themselves up, so they sat at the entrance drinking bone broth, enjoying the snow view.
"Whoa, the snow is quite heavy!" Butcher Zhang gnawed at the big bone, exclaiming.
Next door, Mr. Qian held a thermos cup, occasionally taking a sip, while munching on boiled peanuts.
He glanced sideways, muttering to himself: "So crude!"
Mr. Qian imdiately took the snow as a topic, looking at the flying snow everywhere, his poetic spirit was inspired, he instantly recited a poem: "It must be a fairy drunken frenzy, randomly breaking the white clouds into pieces."
After reciting, he said to his beloved student: "Ruyun, you give it a try too!"
Zhang Ruyun had so genuine talent and knowledge, he thought for a mont and recited: "White snow dislikes spring’s late arrival, thus adorns the courtyard branches as flying flowers!"
Mr. Qian shouted: "Great, great!"
The teacher and student pair, composing poems and verses, such joy!
Only the crude Butcher Zhang cursed: "Damn it!"
He gnawed the last bit of at off the bone, flicked his chopsticks, letting the big bone drop onto the concrete ground.
Black Back Wolf Dog Ba Wang saw it, imdiately scrambled over to snatch the bone away, its dog eyes staring at the at in Butcher Zhang’s bowl.
Many people ntion dog’s preferred food, instinctively thinking of bones, but in reality, dogs prefer at, they eat bones only when there’s no at.
Butcher Zhang noticed the dog’s gaze, growing more annoyed, he cursed: "Good for nothing dog!"
He didn’t want his son to mix with Mr. Qian, the old pedant, composing petty poems, not a word could he follow, too irking, making him feel like an outsider.
So Butcher Zhang changed the topic, lanting: "This dog, sitting at the entrance every day, just one sit for the whole afternoon, what do you say it does every day?"
Zhang Ruyun replied: "It’s enjoying life, without needing to work early or late, nothing it needs to do, how comfortable the life!"
"Damn it!" Butcher Zhang glared at the big wolf dog more and more displeased, if dogs weren’t so expensive, with their cleverness, he would have sold it already.
Butcher Zhang chatted with his son for a few words, then ordered: "Ruyun, I can’t find my motorcycle key, help search, gotta pick your mom up from the city later."
Aunt Zhang went to the city for a banquet, without anyone cooking at ho, he suffered.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Ruyun went back inside to search for the motorcycle key, rummaging everywhere, but couldn’t find it.
He returned to the entrance to report, Butcher Zhang waved: "Alright, alright!"
He glanced at Ba Wang, it’s more than just a dog, it’s his pride.
Butcher Zhang called: "Ba Wang?"
Ba Wang ignored him.
So Butcher Zhang picked up a bone still with at on it, Ba Wang imdiately scrambled over, biting the big bone greedily, eating it up.
After that, it shook its head, wobbled on its four legs, and ran into the house.
In less than a minute, Ba Wang ca out with a string of keys in its mouth, wobbly-headed.
Zhang Ruyun was shocked beyond asure.
Butcher Zhang took the key, stroking the dog’s head, proudly: "This dog of mine, quite a master at finding things for , only every ti I use it, I must give it a piece of at!"
Zhang Ruyun eyed his seemingly smartened Ba Wang with eagerness, quickly took a photo, ready to post on QQ Space, to show off.
anwhile, Mr. Qian stared at the wolf dog for so ti, proposing a theory: "Is there a chance your key was deliberately hidden by the dog?"
At this remark, Butcher Zhang and Zhang Ruyun stood stunned, both pondered, examining the big wolf dog together.
The big wolf dog faced the shadow of the father-son pair, feeling fear, its massive body slightly shrinking back.
It glared with its dog eyes, bared its teeth at Mr. Qian, emitting low growls, very fierce.
...
Jiang Ning carried the snake-skin bag past the rural tourism site, running into Yang Fei at the entrance.
Recently, Yang Fei’s father-in-law had inquired about Jiang Ning, although he didn’t speak ill of him, Yang Fei sensed so discontent from his father-in-law’s attitude.
Now Yang Fei had opened the rural tourism site, breaking free, his role as a son-in-law constrained him very little.
The key point was Jiang Ning greatly helped his business, occasionally gifting wild mushrooms, whether for soup, barbecue, or stir-frying, truly top-notch!
Every ti he got wild mushrooms, Yang Fei would use them to entertain so ’big shots’!
At this mont, seeing Jiang Ning passing by, Yang Fei warmly greeted: "Jiang Ning, I recently got so lamb vertebrae, all fresh goods, later I’ll make a pot for you to taste!"
Lamb vertebrae, normally in restaurants, are mostly frozen, while Yang Fei’s are fresh kills, truly high-quality.
