Chapter 8: Liu Cuifang Comes Again
Sure enough, it didn't take long for Li Changhui to come back with a basket on his back and a shoulder pole. Seeing the mother and son tying up the prey, his eyebrows twitched, a little surprised.

He actually knew what he was going to do.

Lin He didn't see it, she just stared at the pole, suddenly feeling a little worried.

"You carry your prey back like this. I'm afraid everyone in the village will know about it when you get home. Isn't that a bit too high-profile?"

Li Changhui didn't care too much: "It's okay, keep it hidden, and add things to the house in the future, but it will cause people to gossip. Besides, since I brought you out, there is no reason why I can't support the family."

Asking Li Hao to pick up the bamboo shoots on the haystack to the basket, Li Changhui hung the bundled prey on the pole and said something seemingly unintentionally.

"Didn't you always call me Brother Hui in front of your parents?"

Lin He blinked, seemed to understand a little bit, and said hesitantly, "Brother Hui?"

Li Changhui nodded, his expression relaxed: "En."

Is this in response?
Lin He felt a little baffled, and then listened to Li Changhui's continued explanation.

"Don't worry about the prey. I'll sell it in the town later. If someone asks you, you don't know anything."

Lin He understood in an instant that this was telling others that he was in charge of the family affairs, and asked others not to disturb her.

After all, there is a big family of parents-in-law and younger brothers and sisters in this township of Ancun.

They are just separated, not divorced yet.

This Li Changhui really has everything, Lin He thought, it's a pity that those little girls in the village, in fact, except for the scar on his face, in Lin He's view, Li Changhui has almost no shortcomings.

Of course, to Lin He, that scar was not a shortcoming.

Whoever marries him will have a good life, but those girls in the village are not blessed.

"Father, mother, come here quickly, I've already installed it!"

Li Hao's urging interrupted the whispered discussion between the two. Li Changhui picked up a bunch of pheasants and hares, and signaled Lin He to follow.

Li Changhui is tall and has long legs, even in the mountains, he still walks with his head high, one step is enough for Lin He to follow two steps.

Quickly catch up with Li Changhui: "Brother Hui, leave a rabbit for dinner when you go back, and give another one to your in-laws. After all, they are your parents, and you caught so many again. If you don't take some face off, others will Gossip."

After all, he still has to live in a village, and when the family is separated, it is barely decent. Now people can't let people say that being a son is bad.

Of course, the main reason is that Li Changhui hunted a lot of prey this time. She just counted eleven pheasants, eight hares, and a pair of porcupines. By the way, there were also two pheasants brought back by Li Yu.

It's not a 'many' to describe it.

This is obviously a good harvest!

She didn't feel bad at all if she gave one out.

Li Changhui stopped in front of the pan, didn't put down the pole, picked up the pan with one hand, and carried it on his back with a light lift.

Lin He sighed again, this man is really powerful.

"It's okay, and the uncle's house also sent a pheasant over. In the morning, Li Changsheng asked me to go to their house to pick manure and water the field. Their house is close and convenient."

Li Changsheng, the young man he met when he came back from washing clothes in the morning, his uncle's youngest son, was seven years younger than him.

Li Changsheng was only eight years old when he joined the army and left.

Lin He just found out: "That's the one I should give away. It's fine if I didn't have one before. Now that I have this condition, it's not bad to maintain the relationship."

They still have to live in the village, and they can't really live in a single household without dealing with anyone.

Li Changhui nodded, put the basket on his back, and reminded the two of them: "The road down the mountain is not easy, Hao'er is pulling your mother, so slow down."

There are no steps on this path, and when going down the mountain, the whole person feels like his head is falling down. Li Changhui and Li Hao's father and son seem to be used to it, but Lin He really understands what is meant by 'it is easy to go up the mountain, but difficult to go down the mountain'.

Even Li Changhui slowed down to wait for Lin He.

When they got home, Li Yu hugged Li An and was talking to someone in the yard.

Lin He frowned immediately: "Brother Hui, it's your mother."

The family has been separated for seven or eight days, and my mother-in-law has come here twice, once in the morning to educate her and ask her to work more, and once now.

Li Changhui thought she was afraid of seeing her parents-in-law, so he comforted her: "Don't be afraid, Hao'er, take your mother back to the house to pick up the bamboo shoots."

Liu Cuifang also saw her son come back, and even more so when she saw the large string of pheasants and hares carried by Li Changhui, her eyes lit up instantly, and she was no longer afraid of this indifferent son.

The teeth are invisible in the smile, very happy, as if picking up money.

"Changhui, you caught this? My son is really good. He can catch so many things in one trip to the mountain. Now there is no shortage of meat."

Lin He, who was ignored, was going to the kitchen, and when he heard this, he frowned instinctively.

This means, is it possible that you still want to keep eating meat in the future?

If there is no separation, we must eat together.

But the family was separated, and they swallowed up all the money Li Changhui got in exchange for his life, and it wasn't very good for the two grandchildren. Apart from not starving to death, they didn't even have new clothes.

But this is Li Changhui's mother, she is not Li Changhui's real daughter-in-law, so she can only complain in her heart, and Li Changhui has to decide what to do.

Not only did Liu Cuifang ignore Lin He, but her three grandchildren also forgot. Li Yu didn't seem surprised at all, and ran over with her younger brother in her arms.

"Mom, I boiled hot water, and Dad told you not to use cold water when washing the bamboo shoots."

"Okay, I see. You put An'er down, and then continue to boil the water. Your father will deal with the rabbit later."

Lin He didn't think much about the mother and son outside, and started busy with the kitchen.

The shells of the bamboo shoots have been peeled, so they must be cleaned up as soon as possible, otherwise the color and taste will change tomorrow, and the taste will not be so good.

There are a lot of bamboo shoots, she is going to make some sour bamboo shoots, and make the rest as dried bamboo shoots, which can be used at any time when making soup in the future.

With Li Changhui's hunting skills, the family's food will not be bad in the future.

By the way, she plans to go to the field tomorrow to look around and help out as much as she can, not because she was trained by her mother-in-law.

It was mainly the appearance of spiritual power that gave her a clearer plan for her current life.

Going up the mountain alone, she was a little worried about getting lost.

To put it bluntly, Lin He was afraid of death. Even though he thought there might not be any beasts on this mountain, he still felt that it would be safer to go with the man at home.

Li Changhui could only take her up the mountain when she was done working in the field.

Only in the mountains can one absorb spiritual power, and there are many treasures in the mountains. In this era of lack of food and clothing, it is not easy to find something delicious.

What's more, it's spring now, the season of revival of all things, so we should take the opportunity to go out and see more, and discover more treasures in the mountains.

He took Li An's special chair and came over. Seeing that the water was boiling, he made a bowl of rice paste. Li Yu asked Li Yu to feed his younger brother slowly while watching the fire, and then went to work on his own.

Lin He was planning the future in the kitchen, but the atmosphere outside the mother and son was not very good.
