Returning to 83 Mountain Hunting

Chapter 44 The past days are all in vain

Gu Shuyao in the kitchen was not bothered by the aroma of food, because every time a dish came out, Ji Chang would take some for her to taste.

Every dish gave Gu Shuyao a surprise.

Although I just tasted it and didn't enjoy it, I was able to satisfy my hunger.

Dishes were placed on the table one after another, glowing with hot aroma under the light of three candles.

"Everyone, stop being busy and wash your hands and eat."

After hearing Ji Chang's words, everyone dropped what they were doing. After all, they had been waiting for this moment for a long time.

If Ji Chang hadn't said to wash their hands, they would have all rushed in.

After washing as quickly as possible, everyone walked into the Ji family's hall.

There were several steaming meat dishes on the table, as well as bowls of white rice.

"This, this is too rich, and too expensive." Wang Zhi looked at the dishes on the table and said involuntarily.

"That's right, brother, it's too expensive." Li Shi also felt a little embarrassed and didn't dare to sit down.

"Okay, let's sit down and eat." Ji Chang put a bowl of fragrant mutton soup on the table.

Everyone took their seats after Ji Chang and Gu Shuyao sat down, but some didn't dare to pick up food.

"Why, do you want me to pick up food for you?" Ji Chang glanced at the three members of the Li family.

"Don't be polite, everyone, use your chopsticks quickly, we are all starving." Gu Shuyao agreed.

Wang Zhi moved his chopsticks first, and then the others picked up the dishes.

Every dish here is exceptionally delicious for them.

No matter Wang Zhi, Li Linan or Li Shi, in their impression, they have never eaten such delicious food since they were young.

Everyone was immersed in the delicious food, and they didn't even have the mind to chat, and focused on cooking.

The food on the table was cleared away, and everyone's stomachs were full.

"It's so filling. This is the first time in my life that I feel so full after eating." Li Shi touched his belly and said with a happy face.

For him, it was the most satisfying meal he had eaten in 15 years, and it almost swallowed his tongue.

"I'm so happy. All my previous days have been in vain." Wang Zhi has never enjoyed a good life. When he was a child, his family was very poor. He could only eat half a bowl of white rice during the Chinese New Year.

The meat has not been seen once in a few years, and it is the kind of meat that is marinated until it is about to stink.

The more this happened, the more she regretted the wrong decision she made back then and obstructed Ji Chang and Li Linan.

At that time, she was determined to think that Ji Chang was the kind of heartbreaker who would always give up and give up, just like her short-lived husband.

Because she also ate the forbidden fruit before marriage. As a result, after marriage, her man went around messing around with women, eventually making someone else's belly bigger, killing one person and two people. In the end, she was shot to death by the woman's husband.

Such an experience made Wang Zhi unable to accept that Ji Chang and Li Lin'an had a relationship before marriage, and forced Li Lin'an and Ji Chang to separate.

Then, he forced Ji Chang's father to marry Ji Chang a wife as soon as possible, completely cutting off the opportunity for the two of them.

However, she couldn't explain such a thing to Ji Chang.

The village didn't know that Li Lin'an's father was beaten to death for this reason. At that time, he and Wang Zhi did not live in the village, but were out of town.

In order to maintain Li Linan and Li Shi's impression of her father, she made up some lies, so it was naturally impossible to expose them.

"Aunt Zhi, I plan to ask Lin'an to come with me to the county to do some small business. Do you agree?" Ji Changfang raised the subject at the right time.

"Of course, I support it unconditionally." Wang Zhi has now figured it out and feels that Li Shi should study hard and not be trapped in this poor ravine.

Not only Li Shi has to go out, but Li Linan also has to go out.

"If Aunt Zhi agrees, then we have to ask Aunt Zhi to come to the county to take care of Shuyao. You have worked in a state-owned hotel and are also very good at cooking."

Ji Chang originally planned to hire a nanny, but it is better to invite someone else than Wang Zhi who knows everything.

"Okay, you are half a son in my eyes. If you ask me, I will definitely agree." Wang Zhi said with narrowed eyes.

This is true. She did treat Ji Chang as half a son back then.

If it hadn't been for that confusing account and Ji Chang's father's sudden illness, Wang Zhi might have actually become Ji Chang's stepmother.

"It's settled." Ji Chang said happily.

After saying that, Ji Chang got ready to clear away the dishes.

"Go, go, let a grown man clean up the dishes. There is a sheep outside that has not been killed. Go and do your work. Leave this place to us two." With that, Wang Zhi pushed Ji Chang out.

Ji Chang did not insist and took Gu Shuyao out to take charge of lighting, and then took Li Shi to deal with the second black sheep.

Ji Chang directly asked Li Shi to do it. No matter how much he watched, it was not as good as actual operation.

In terms of learning, Li Shi's talent is far superior to others, and he looks good the first time he cuts it off.

The offal was packed in wooden barrels. Ji Chang and Li Shi cut the sheep into two halves, rinsed them and directly lifted them into the well for soaking.

"Brother, are we still going up the mountain at night?" Li Shi sat next to Ji Chang and asked curiously.

During the day today, they also set a noose on the mountain. If a wild boar is caught in the noose, there will be another harvest.

Ji Chang raised his head and glanced at the sky, and then said: "No, if it rains at night, the wild boar will most likely not come out."

"rain?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a bolt of lightning pierced the night sky.

"Boom."

The thunder rolled.

Li Shi glanced at Ji Chang in shock.

We just said it was going to rain, will it thunder now?

"Didn't you feel the wind just started? Cooling down is often the prelude to rain." Ji Chang patted Li Shi on the shoulder.

"Aunt Zhi, An'an, come in quickly, it's going to rain soon." Ji Chang shouted, and then moved the pot outside back into the hall.

A few minutes later, the rain poured down.

"Brother, do we still have to go early tomorrow?" Li Shi frowned worriedly.

If it is not sold for a long time, the mutton will deteriorate.

On rainy days, not many people rush to buy groceries early, and they may even not go out at all.

How did he know that just now Ji Chang had secretly transferred the slaughtered black sheep from the well to his own hunting space, so he didn't have to worry about spoilage at all.

"It's okay, the thunderstorm won't last long. You, you are too worried, relax. Don't go back to sleep at night, sleep with me. We will set off at five o'clock tomorrow."

"Yes, it's raining heavily, Aunt Zhi, Xiao An, you two don't go back, squeeze together with me." Gu Shuyao also asked Wang Zhi and Li Lin'an to stay.

"According to your words, you two still sleep in separate rooms?" Wang Zhi glanced at Gu Shuyao in surprise.

It's not a good thing for a husband and wife to sleep in separate rooms.

I have to talk to Gu Shuyao about this matter.By the way, I would like to share some tips on how couples should live during pregnancy.

She knew that Gu Shuyao's family had returned to the provincial capital, and they would definitely not teach her these things, and she would have no one to rely on here.

As someone who has been through this before, I have to shamelessly give Gu Shuyao a thumbs up.
