Returning to 83 Mountain Hunting

Chapter 32

"Shuyao, you have to take care of Ji Chang."

"He's too bloated now. He just started hunting to support his family. How can he raise two such small puppies? How many books can he afford to hunt?"

"Shanshan was very angry with you that day, so she talked about this matter with us when she got back. We are old classmates who have a good relationship, and we all hope that you can live a good life."

"In the past few years, Ji Chang has become used to idleness, and it's normal to be ambitious. But you have to be sober, manage people and money well, and don't let him spend them recklessly. If a man is spoiled, you will suffer in the future."

These words are the reason why Gu Shuyao frowned.

However, she couldn't refute anything.

Because apart from her, no one else knows how much money Ji Chang has made, let alone how many means of making money Ji Chang has.

It is also hard for others to believe that a person who has been idle for several years suddenly becomes diligent and practical one day.

If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes and watched Ji Chang's changes in the past few days, she would not have believed it.

Therefore, she understood Liu Xue's worry and concern.

But understanding is understanding, she will still be unhappy and feel aggrieved for Ji Chang.

"Thank you for your concern. Brother Chang has changed a lot recently. I believe it won't be long before you all will be impressed by him."

"I support any decision he makes, because I know he is working hard for our family and making life better."

Li Linan straightened his heavily burdened body, glanced at Gu Shuyao, and nodded in agreement.

She felt that looking at Ji Chang's eyes, she knew that the former brother Ji Chang had returned, because his eyes were no longer confused.

"I knew you would be like this. When Ji Chang came, I'll talk about her myself. You, it's because you are too used to him that he becomes like this."

"If I were the one who married him back then, I would have taken care of him submissively."

As soon as these words came out, Sun Fang couldn't hold back anymore.

"Axue, you can do it. He is almost engaged, and he still misses Brother Ji. If it were you, I think you could spoil Ji Chang to the sky, and I wish I could pour all the water for washing his feet."

"Go, go, I'm not that kind of person." Liu Xue picked up some water and threw it at Sun Fang.

Obviously, she was covering up.

Gu Shuyao felt clear in her heart and couldn't help but turn her head to look. When she saw Ji Chang walking towards this side, a smile appeared on her face.

Fortunately, this man has himself in his eyes, not Liu Xue.

Seeing Gu Shuyao like this, Ji Chang guessed that his daughter-in-law's frowning just now must have something to do with Liu Xue and the others.

No need to ask, he also knows that it has something to do with him.

In my previous life, I was really a jerk.

Those who are willing to scold and talk about themselves are all concerned about themselves and hope that they will be good.

More people are looking at their own jokes.

"Huang Tao, you stay here with them. I'll take the stones to collect some firewood and come back to cook rice in bamboo tubes." Saying this, Ji Chang threw the bamboo on his shoulders into the nearby grass.

Huang Tao nodded. He was interested in Sun Fang, and wished he could show more around Sun Fang.

Otherwise, he wouldn't use Ji Chang as an excuse to invite Sun Fang and Liu Xue together today.

There will be some dead wood washed down from the upstream on the river beach. Although there are not many, it is still possible to pick them up and cook a meal.

Half an hour later, Ji Chang and Li Shi came back with some dead wood in their arms.

After returning, Ji Chang used a saw to cut out the bamboo and asked Li Shi to clean it.

Then Ji Chang took out a large clay pot from the basket, poured enough rice into it, and washed the rice with stream water.

The current river water is free from any pollution, and no septic tank water is discharged into it. The water is still very clean. Some villages even drink directly from the river.

After washing the rice, Ji Chang took the vegetables to the river to wash them.

Because the river beach was relatively flat, Ji Chang didn't refuse Gu Shuyao's offer to help wash the vegetables.

If you really don't let her touch anything, she will be bored.

After all, there is no mobile phone to play with now, and there is no other entertainment to pass the time.

Ji Chang was against her doing some heavy work, not against her doing anything.

After washing the vegetables, Ji Chang used the chopping board he brought home to chop all kinds of vegetables into cubes and put them into the clay pot filled with rice.

Li Shi has been watching from the sidelines, and he is also very curious about what the rice in bamboo tubes looks like.

When he saw Ji Chang chopping vegetables, he understood a little bit.

However, he was shocked by how many dishes there were.

There are fat and lean pork in it, which is domestic pork and bought from the market.

In addition, there are cowpeas, mushrooms and corn.

Mix the cut meat and various vegetables in a clay pot, add some salt, soy sauce and other seasonings, and then mix well with the rice inside.

Ji Chang, Gu Shuyao, and Li Shi put the rice into bamboo tubes.

Adding an appropriate amount of water, Ji Chang stuffed sweet potatoes on the bamboo tube to block the bamboo joints.

"Although I haven't eaten it yet, I already know that the rice in bamboo tube will be very delicious." Li Shi tried hard to control his saliva, worried that it might flow out.

He also discovered that everyone here had an extra tube besides one.

But he didn't talk much and silently helped to light the fire to cook these bamboo tube rice.

It’s okay to have rice without soup, so Ji Chang took out some ribs and put them in a bamboo tube, cut some winter melon into it, added water, and sealed it with sweet potatoes.

"I'll go for a walk in the river and see if I can harvest anything." As he said that, Ji Chang took out the slingshot on his waist.

When Ji Chang was just picking up dead wood, he saw a blood bar in the water that was about [-] centimeters long. It must be a big thing.

So Ji Chang wanted to see what it was.

Walking along the upper reaches of the river, Huang Tao and the others were also picking up river snails.

Ji Chang walked quickly to the vicinity of the blood bar, and as soon as he got closer, Ji Chang saw something whose blood bar was so long.

It's a turtle!
This was a turtle weighing seven or eight pounds, and Ji Chang's appearance immediately alarmed it.

However, before it could run away, Ji Chang jumped directly into the water and grabbed its carapace.

"Ji Chang, what are you catching? You made such a big noise and your whole body jumped into the water. This is not how you catch fish, right?" Liu Xue was closest to Ji Chang, and she had been paying attention to Ji Chang.

Liu Xue's words also attracted Huang Tao and Sun Fang, who also approached Ji Chang.

"Wow, what a big turtle." Liu Xue couldn't help but exclaimed when she saw Ji Chang grabbing the turtle out of the water.

"It's not a turtle, it's a soft-shelled turtle." Huang Tao obviously recognized it and explained.

"Ji Chang, you are so lucky. You got rich again today." Huang Tao looked at the turtle in Ji Chang's hand with envy.

A soft-shelled turtle weighing seven to eight catties is a rare commodity, and it can be sold for a lot of money if you meet someone who knows the goods.

It just so happened that Huang Tao knew a person who knew the goods, and he was looking for this kind of big turtle everywhere.

That's why he said good luck and that Ji Chang got rich.
