Liu Yang

Erniang looked at Erni, who was glaring at her, and sighed helplessly. Perhaps she had frightened Erni just now. As soon as she stood up, Erni was nervous.

In the end, she simply asked Erni to go outside and bring some thatch over. She would continue weaving straw mats.

Although the room had been tidied up and new straw mats had been added to the roof and around it, the other rooms were still leaking.

As long as her mother did not go out, Erni felt that it was fine and obediently went to carry a few bundles of thatch over.

Erni learned from her mother. The mother and daughter were busy for a while before the sky finally lit up. It could be seen how early Jiang Hu left in the morning.

"Yo, Dawa is busy. Where's your father?" Liu Yang carried a hoe over. Jiang Hu had left very early and he did not know that he had gone to town again.

"Uncle Liu, my father left early for town in the morning. Why are you looking for him?"

Dawa recognized Liu Yang. He had sent fish and sparrows to Liu Yang's family previously. His family had a four-year-old child who was good friends with Dawa.

"Your father went to sell fish again?" Liu Yang's eyebrows twitched. He was a little unhappy. Jiang Hu told them that the fish in town were worthless, but he went to sell them before dawn. He's so disloyal, he thought.

Fortunately, Dawa shook his head. "No, Father said that he happened to be lucky yesterday but he won't be selling fish in the future. Selling fish doesn't earn money and it's a waste of time."

Liu Yang's mouth fell open in surprise. "Then why did he go to town?"

But the next second, he reacted in time. "A pheasant! Did your father catch a pheasant?"

His eyes widened!

When Jiang Hu returned at noon the day before, they heard him say that he wanted to go to the mountain to look for pheasants and hares. In the afternoon, they saw Jiang Hu go up the mountain, but they did not see him return until dark.

Now it seemed that Jiang Hu had gained something yesterday.

Seeing that Liu Yang was so surprised, Dawa felt very proud. He raised his small face. "That's right. Not only were there pheasants, but there were also hares. Daddy sent them to town."

Liu Yang was not only surprised. He was very envious! He was even a little jealous!

Jiang Hu's luck is simply good!

Not only did his wife give birth to twins safely, but their family life was also getting better and better. There was a stone vat of fish in the courtyard, and there were also pheasants and hares that he had just caught!

Then he thought about himself. Although he did not know Jiang Hu in the past, the two families met while they were escaping the war half a year ago. His wife also happened to be pregnant at that time.

Unfortunately, he was not as lucky as Jiang Hu. In less than half a month during the escape, the child was gone. Of course, he was not the only one. There were many others.

However, Jiang Hu's Erniang was different. Although her pregnancy was very difficult and her reaction was huge, her condition had always been stable!

After fleeing for so long, Liu Yang had only seen such a pregnant woman in Jiang Hu's family. How could he not be envious?

Fortunately, at this moment, Erniang's voice came from the house. "Is that Brother Liu?"

Liu Yang was stunned for a moment before coming back to his senses. "Ah, right, it's me. I'm here to look for Jiang Hu. If he's not around, I'll go back first."

He had to avoid what he should avoid.

However, as soon as he turned away to leave, he was stopped by Erniang. "Wait a moment, Brother Liu. Hu left early in the morning and didn't have time to tell you. There's a wasteland beside the courtyard. He said that if you want to catch fish or pheasants, you can go there to dig for insects."

Liu Yang quickly stopped what he was doing and turned around in surprise. "Really? Sister-in-law, you're not lying to me, right?"

Last time, Dawa had brought the children to dig for worms, which were great for catching fish. He had come today with that intention.

This time, before Erniang could say anything, Dawa became excited. "It's true, it's true. Uncle Liu, Daddy said that he wanted everyone in the village to catch pheasants and wild ducks together!

"It's over here. Yesterday and this morning, my father poured all the water he used to wash Xiaomi and Bruiser's diapers. There must be a lot of worms. My father used these worms to catch the pheasants!"

As Dawa spoke, he brought Liu Yang to the wasteland outside the courtyard.

Liu Yang was a little surprised and suspicious. "Really?"

Dawa patted his small chest. "Of course it's true. My father said that Xiaomi and Bruiser are lucky stars who have descended to the mortal world to bless our Fu'an Village. They will make Fu'an Village better!"

Liu Yang looked at the wasteland in front of him. There were still water droplets on the weeds here and they were a little smelly. After all, there were feces and urine from the diapers. This was very normal.

Then he looked at the Jiang family's vegetable garden. It was obviously better than other people's.

Although he felt that it was a little unbelievable, Liu Yang could not help but be happy to hear that Dawa said Fu'an Village would become better and better.

"Thank you, Dawa. I'll get your aunt to come over to dig for worms."

After all, it was just outside Jiang Hu's courtyard. There were only children and a pregnant woman in confinement at home. It was a little inappropriate for a man like him to be beside someone's courtyard.

Thinking of pheasants and hares that could be sold for money, Liu Yang quickly went back. Soon, it was his wife who came over.

Liu Yang's wife was called Wang Xiang. She was about the same age as Erniang and she had brought her son over. She let her son play with Dawa outside and went inside to see Erniang and the children.

When she saw the hare, she was very surprised. She heard from Erniang that after the hare gave birth, they would specially raise hares in the future. She felt even more envious.

Seeing Wang Xiang's envious expression, Erniang thought of what Hu had told her last night. She thought for a moment and smiled at Wang Xiang.

"Hu said that he used the weeds as bait yesterday, so he caught the hares. It just so happened that Dawa was plucking the weeds in the morning. When you dig up the insects later, bring some of the weeds back. You might be able to catch hares too."

"Really?" Wang Xiang was very surprised. "Hares can be caught with weeds?"

Erniang picked up two weeds and threw them into the bamboo basket. "Of course. Look at how happily it is eating. This means that these weeds are delicious."

When the hare saw the weeds, it stopped plucking its fur and ate the weeds in big mouthfuls. It ate them all in a few bites.

Seeing this, Wang Xiang nodded repeatedly. "Yes, yes. I would have forgotten if you hadn't mentioned it. Erniang, you rest first. I'll go out and take a look."

As she spoke, she hurriedly went out to dig for insects. Even if she couldn't catch a pheasant, it would be good to catch more fish. At least her family wouldn't have to go hungry.

If she was lucky and caught those big fish that Jiang Hu had caught, she might be able to sell it for money!

When she passed by the vegetable garden, she happened to hear Dawa telling her son, Liu Hai, that Jiang Hu had bought salt yesterday and brought back five copper coins. She was even more envious.

As long as she dug up more insects and caught more fish or pheasants, she would definitely be able to sell them for copper coins!

Moreover, their family was here today. Before long, the others in the village would definitely come too. At that time, there would not be enough to share, and they would not be able to catch many insects.

Thinking of this, Wang Xiang could not care less about the stench in the wasteland. She hurriedly started working. She even called her son over and asked him to search the soil that was dug up. Whether it was ants or earthworms, as long as it was insects, he was to capture them all!
