Chapter 1061: That’s My Feeling
As for the other dishes, they were sliced and soaked in clear water overnight, ready to be stir-fried with chili peppers and meat slices. These dishes were truly unparalleled.
Shao Dalang, being an upright man, remembered his mother’s instructions. Sensing that it was almost time, he urged everyone to head home.
However, Qiao Xuan, Shao Yunduan, and the others were not ready to leave. Since Yang Xiaoni and the rest rarely ventured into the mountains, they had become engrossed in gathering plants and were determined to fill their sacks and baskets.
Occasionally, they startled pheasants and wild rabbits that were foraging in the grass and woods. Helplessly, they watched as the pheasants took flight, flapping their wings, and the wild rabbits swiftly vanished from sight. Sighs of regret filled the air. They finally understood why others envied them when they returned with a bountiful catch of wild animals.
Such was the current sentiment.
Helpless yearning welled up within them, but they couldn’t attain what they desired.
It was simply an insatiable craving…
Of course, Qiao Xuan felt this most profoundly.
After all, others were limited in the number of pheasants and wild rabbits they encountered. Unlike her, she had witnessed countless. There were not only pheasants and wild rabbits, but also hares, wild sheep, wild boars, and more. In the past, with Qi by her side, she could easily secure a successful hunt if she led the way…
Once they had enjoyed themselves and amassed a fruitful harvest, they made their way back to the village.
Ms. Fang stood at the village entrance, eagerly awaiting their return. Upon seeing their joyous expressions, she held back her reproachful words.
Never mind. She wouldn’t dampen the mood this time, but she wouldn’t allow it to happen again in the future.
Shao Yunduan, not wanting his mother to worry, took Qiao Xuan to explore the nearby hills for three or four days.
The two of them strolled hand in hand, undisturbed by anyone, enjoying their time amidst the lush green mountains.
Each day, Qiao Xuan would request her family to gather the ingredients, and if needed, Songshi would travel to the city to purchase them. Qiao Xuan would then cook two of her finest dishes, and they would savor the flavors together.
Sesame chicken, ginger-infused duck, pickled vegetables, conch broth, lion’s head meatballs, braised pork, seafood soup, braised fish head, braised pig’s trotters, and many more dishes made dinner a delightful anticipation for the family each day…
In the blink of an eye, it was time for Shao Erlang’s wedding.
Ms. Niu, being a playful character, had conveniently fallen “ill” two days prior, claiming she couldn’t do anything and needed to stay in bed.
Shao Erlang knew that his mother had reservations about his marriage to Mei Qing, so he attempted to ask her to handle the matter for him. However, Ms. Niu scolded him, saying, “You have a wife now and you’ve forgotten about your mother. I showered you with love for nothing! Can’t you see that I’m unwell and unable to move? Do you expect me to take care of it for you? Do you want me to exhaust myself to death?”
“If you really want me to handle it, fine. Why don’t we change the date?! We can reschedule it. Once I’m better, we can manage it together!”
Shao Erlang’s expression darkened, and he fell silent.
“Alright, alright!”
Ms. Yan paid no mind to the situation. She had been in charge of most things from the beginning to the end. If there was something she didn’t understand, she sought assistance from Ms. Fang. Seeing Ms. Fang’s willingness to help, the villagers enthusiastically lent their support, ensuring everything went smoothly.
Since Ms. Niu insisted on feigning illness, they let her be.
As the bride and groom were soon to be married again, there was no need to be overly fussy about the arrangements.
In fact, they didn’t bother with any elaborate preparations at all.
