Chapter 1172 I Said Yes

The winter sun beat down on him, making Father Zhang drowsy as he was used to taking a lunch break. After a while, I heard him snoring slightly.

Zhang Guoqing burst into laughter upon seeing this. A moment ago, his father was looking in the direction of Daqing Mountain, thinking about the safety of his grandchildren, but now he had fallen asleep.

Then he sighed secretly, time is not forgiving, and his father is really old.

Zhang Guoqing stared at his father in a daze. After a while, he heard the movement in the backyard. He quietly stood up and secretly said to himself that his wife was also the one who did not let him worry.

——Just now he was chatting with his mother in the living room, why did he go to the backyard again?

Zhou Jiao was planning to find him to deal with the wild animals. When she saw his figure, she was overjoyed and raised her hands to wave to him like a lucky cat.

Zhang Guoqing was so amused by her posture that he laughed sullenly and ran up to her quickly, "Do you miss your man so much?"

"De Xing!" Zhou Jiao glanced sideways at him, turned sideways and raised her chin, "Look, my son is great, isn't he? He came back after hunting so many prey in less than half a day, and he said there are more to come."

Zhang Guoqing patted the hat on her head with a smile, "Yes, yes. Your son is so awesome! Why didn't you let them call me over to help?"

Zhou Jiao spread her hands and said, "As soon as I put down my things, I ran away, saying that I was still waiting there for safety. Don't worry, silly sons don't have any other advantages, but they have a lot of strength."

Zhang Guoqing didn't dare to agree with these words, and he couldn't mess with his wife who was protecting her son.

He squatted down, stretched out his hand and looked at the fatal parts of the prey one by one, and then nodded with satisfaction, "Yes, the children can indeed perform."

Zhou Jiao looked at him funny and squatted next to him, "I seem to have heard you say this several times."

"Daughter-in-law, give me the tools first. I have to deal with them quickly before they freeze into ice." Zhang Guoqing looked around and pointed to the position in front of him, "You don't understand this. This is for the children. Reaffirmed. With their hunting skills, the children will not be afraid of not having food no matter what they do in the future."

"When the animal protection law comes out in the future, this skill will be useless." Zhou Jiao released a set of "slaughtering" tools from the space, "Do you want me to heat hot water?"

How could it be useless?

As long as his son is still a soldier, it will still be very practical. However, Zhang Guoqing did not dare to say this to scare his wife, and of course she could not have imagined it.

But it’s better not to bring up these topics during the Chinese New Year.

Zhang Guoqing followed her words, smiled and replied: "No, I'll deal with what I can deal with first, and I'll use hot water for the rest later."

"Okay." Zhou Jiao rolled her eyes and squatted there to stay with him for a while. Then while he was focusing on cleaning up the prey, she stood up and left.

She knew that Zhang Guoqing felt sorry for her, but who was she, Zhou Jiao? A proper tomboy! How easy it is to move a pot and put it on the original shelf.

Fortunately she didn't say it out loud, otherwise she would have made a fool of herself. Not to mention that she knew about her own affairs, Lin Juhua and the others would probably burst into laughter after hearing this.

Zhou Jiao looked at the two stoves in the kitchen and felt very angry because of the hot "brother" next to her. It was too hot. What should I do?

Standing there, Zhou Jiao frowned, should she just take out a pot from the space and say she just bought it this morning? It's a pity that Xiao Liu, the witness, is here!

"Female man" Zhou Jiao wandered back to the backyard and arrived in front of the simple stove. Without saying anything, she secretly took out a pot and placed it on it, adding water to it.

"Brother, the children brought this pot back!"

When Zhang Guoqing heard her sudden words, he followed her gaze and burst into laughter. It turns out that this is how the so-called taking the blame comes from!

"Why are you laughing? I said yes." Zhou Jiao glared at him angrily, "Remember?"

Zhang Guoqing nodded hurriedly, "Okay, if you say it's the sons' fault, it must be their fault. Hahaha... my precious wife..."

Zhou Jiao glanced at him sideways and laughed along with her. In fact, there are many excuses, and she has no problem dealing with her mother-in-law.

As for outsiders?

Does she need to explain to others? !

With the big pot and hot water boiling, Zhang Guoqing can handle wild animals such as wild boars much faster. By the time Ping An returns with Liuyi carrying the prey, this side will almost be finished.

Zhang Guoqing was no longer too lazy to complain that he was about to become a professional butcher, "Children, don't kill them all, at least let them celebrate the New Year."

Pingan put down his things and nodded cheerfully, "Dad, leave it to me. You and mom will rest first."

"Forget it, that's all your father can use now." Zhang Guoqing said so, but he was not willing to let his son work hard, "hurry up and come back for dinner."

No one knows better than him how desolate it feels to eat a few mouthfuls of hard dry food on the mountain in the cold weather.

"Okay. The three of us brothers made soup at Muwozi at noon. Let's not talk about it anymore. Liuyi and I have to go back quickly. Wuyi is waiting there."

"Be careful."

"good."

Liuyi waited for Ping An to finish his words and quickly asked, "Dad, there is a wild boar and two roe deer over there. Is it appropriate to leave half of them for the village?"

Zhang Guoqing smiled nonchalantly and said, "Just feel free to do it. I'll pick you up at the mountain pass over there later. Don't expose everything."

"Understood. Let's see you in half an hour." Upon hearing this, Liuyi happily waved to Zhou Jiao, grabbed Ping An and left through the back door.

As soon as they left, Zhang Guoqing walked around in a circle and looked around. When he saw no one was out of the ordinary, he quickly asked Zhou Jiao to move in first.

He didn't keep much left. If someone found his three sons on the mountain, he would be able to collect so many things in less than a day.

The result is either making wedding clothes for others, or making people hate them.

When it comes to his son, he has to be cautious.

After cleaning up, Zhang Guoqing swept away the traces of snow on the ground and stretched out his hand towards Zhou Jiao: "Let's go, I will take you to enjoy the scenery of the North."

Zhou Jiao looked at him with a smile on her face, stretched out her hand and put it on it.

"After the first lunar month, I will take you to a hot spring."

"Just arrange it."

"So good."

After the couple simply washed themselves up, they did not disturb Zhang's father and Zhang's mother who were sleeping. Xiao Zhu, who was going to the provincial capital, and Xiao Liu, who was going to the county town, should be back soon, and they would remember to remind their father who was sleeping in the sun.

In winter, such scenery can be seen everywhere in the countryside.

Spending the long winter in the sun has become not only a living habit for them, but also a unique scenery in the countryside.

When you walk out of the courtyard and stroll along the country roads, you can always see three or five people from the older generation squatting or sitting in a row under the corner, letting the sun shine on everyone unobstructed.

They huddled together, occasionally puffed on their pipes, and chatted about their families and family affairs. Of course, there are naturally topics that cannot be separated from his father's happy old age.

In fact, happiness depends on how you think about it.

As Zhang Guoqing saw, these old people's faces were full of calmness and soothing. It was a kind of happiness for them to accept the caress of the sun so contentedly.
