    010 Orion in the mountains

    On the day he returned home, Huo Yunshan found a pole and hung three pheasants, two fat ducks, two deer legs on one end, as well as the fresh deer deer he shot the day before, plus a fine fox skin he hunted last winter.

    Ning Wanqi asked: “Are you moving?”

    The man who skillfully tied up the things without raising his head said, “Mom likes to eat, I will bring more for her.”

    It was funny in my heart, because my joke about “because my mother ate the bride price” was taken seriously by him, but from another aspect, it showed that the man also cared about me.I went to ask him again: “It’s obviously a pole, why did you only tie one end?”

    Huo Yunshan tried the tightness of the rope: “Who told you that your health is so bad? The other side is ready to pick you up, otherwise I won’t be able to reach your house even in the dark.”

    “Hey, my foot has been healed a long time ago!” Ning Wan was annoyed and unconvinced, right there… After being rubbed with ointment by the man, he was back to his original state in one night.Before he could argue, he saw the man squatting on the ground, laughing so hard that his chest vibrated, and he realized that he had been tricked.

    The two of them laughed and joked all the way, but they arrived at her mother’s house in the west of the village at noon. Ning Wanniang had been waiting at the door eagerly. When she saw two figures, one tall and one petite, one behind the other, her face burst into laughter.

    “You’re back? It’s very kind of you to bring so many things.”

    She was extremely satisfied with this sturdy son-in-law who was capable of hunting.He stepped forward and tried to take the pole from Huo Yunshan’s hand. The silly big man really let go of his hand. Ning Wanniang’s hands that had been doing embroidery all year round couldn’t catch it, and all the chicken and duck meat on the pole fell to the muddy ground.

    Ning Wan frowned and shouted: “Are you stupid? How can my mother catch it when it’s so heavy?”

    “You damn girl, you have such a sharp mouth. You can just pick it up after it falls on the ground. Yunshan, don’t be angry, it’s the old lady who has no strength.” Ning Wanniang gave her an elbow, and she and Huo Yunshan, who giggled “Haha”, slapped the ashes and tied the duck.

    Ning Wan muttered dissatisfiedly: “Mom, it’s only been a few days and your elbow has already turned outward!”

    “We are all a family, so we should not be outside but not inside.”

    Huo Yunshan raised his eyebrows in a corner where Ning Wanniang couldn’t see, and a grown man pretended to be pitiful: “That’s right, mother.”

    After lunch, Huo Yunshan was busy helping Ning Wanniang chop wood and stack it in bundles under the eaves.He was tall and strong, with endless energy all over his body, and he was extremely agile in doing things. After chopping firewood, he helped his mother fetch water from the well at the head of the village. In short, he did all the physical work.

    Ning Wanniang, on the other hand, took her and sat in the room, each holding an embroidery needle. She kept threading the needle and thread in her hands, and asked in a low voice, “Hey, can he do it?”

    “Aren’t you very satisfied?” Ning Wan snorted.

    Ning Wanniang was unhappy and wanted to poke her daughter’s face with the embroidery needle: “You kid, how can you talk? It’s great that you can find someone like Yunshan to do your job. You’re still picky.”

    “How can you belittle your own daughter and promote others like this?”

    “That’s a fact! He looks like he’s more capable than the one in front of him. When will he give me a grandson to hug?”

    Ning Wan was afraid that she would keep mentioning this issue endlessly, and thinking of Aunt Wang’s mess, she changed the subject: “You haven’t heard anything said about me in the past two days, have you?”

    “No, I’m afraid I’m just jealous that you married a reliable man.”

    Humph, he is really a master who bullies the weak and fears the strong.The two of them chatted about everyday things, coming and going, and time flew by quickly.From time to time, a few dogs barked outside, and it was getting late.

    Ning Wan frowned: “What’s that idiot doing?”

    “Look, aren’t you very nervous? Yesterday, the Li family’s sister-in-law said that she would give me a pile of corn stalks to make matches in the winter. Yunshan said that she would help me carry them back…” Ning Wanniang was originally joking, but she also thought that the Li family was not far away and the move should be completed in two trips, so she also frowned.

    The embroidery work couldn’t be done anymore, so Ning Wan threw the half-embroidered peony moire skirt into the basket and walked out of the door quickly.
