Chapter 746: 746 Second Brother’s Hunting Harvest
There is nothing else at home other than several jin of dried fish and vegetables.
Previously, Su Qingyue had bought enough food for half a year, but because there were more people having lunch at home for the past two or three months, they had consumed food for an extra month in advance.
Xiao Yuchuan held a handful of grass to feed the horse.
Su Qingyue sat in the courtyard on a chair, enjoying the cool air. Big mixed fur lay quietly beside her, yawning with its wolfish mouth.
Yuchuan’s gaze fell on his wife, his heart filled with mixed emotions.
His wife was too outstanding, whose brilliance could not be concealed even if he wanted to.
On one hand, he was proud of his intelligent wife; on the other hand, he truly felt unworthy of her.
Noticing the gaze, Su Qingyue looked towards Xiao Yuchuan. Seeing him staring at himself without blinking, there was a trace of inferiority in his deep, dark pupils.
However, that emotion of inferiority vanished in a flash.
Looking closely, she saw his face shining with a bright sunrise smile.
“Wife, what are you looking at your husband for?” He threw her a charming look, “Admiring my handsome looks? Or do you want me to sleep in your room tonight?”
“Scram!” She snorted coldly.
“If you don’t let me come to your room, you can come to mine.” He said cheerfully, “I’ve been longing for you for a long, long time!”
“I don’t want to bother with you.” She rolled her eyes at him.
The sun set, and the moon rose.
The bright moon hung high in the sky, and the deep blue sky was dotted with sparse blinking stars.
A breeze blew through, bringing a refreshing coolness.
“Why hasn’t the second brother returned from hunting yet?” Su Qingyue said softly.
“What? Worried about the second brother?” Xiao Yuchuan walked over, “Don’t worry, second brother is always cautious. Hunting accidents rarely happen to him. This time I told him to mind his safety, so don’t worry.”
“Hunting is dangerous. I think we should let the second brother stop.” Su Qingyue contemplated for a moment, “Our family is well-off now. Let’s buy more fields.”
“Whatever you want, just do it.” He smiled and nodded. As long as she was willing to stay by his side, anything would be fine.
At that moment, Xiao Yishan’s tall silhouette walked into the yard. He had a hunted animal on his shoulder and two wild chickens tied with grass rope in his hand. Seeing Su Qingyue, his voice was very excited, “Wife, I’m back!”
“Second brother.” Su Qingyue nodded at him.
Xiao Yishan threw the hunted animal and wild chickens into a corner of the yard.
The hunted animal turned out to be a roe deer. Judging by the size of the roe deer, it weighed almost sixty jin.
Big mixed fur ran over, sniffed the dead animal, showed no interest, and sat down next to Su Qingyue’s feet.
“Today’s harvest was abundant. I hunted a roe deer and two wild chickens,” Xiao Yishan said with some excitement. “Wife, I’ll sell the roe deer tomorrow, and with the money we get, we’ll buy seeds for our vegetable fields. The wild chickens will be used to make soup for you to nourish your body.”
She smiled faintly, “Second brother, I have already bought the seeds.”
“That’s good.” Xiao Yishan walked over, and as he reached out with his rough hand to touch her affectionately, he saw her dodging gaze, so he withdrew his hand dejectedly and said, “Wife, you have the money to buy seeds now, did you get anything good at town today?”
Before she could speak, Xiao Qinghe’s voice came from the direction of the kitchen, “Time for dinner. Second Brother’s back, so let’s start.”
“You guys go ahead and eat first. I’m all sweaty and dirty, so I’ll take a shower and eat.” Although he was hungry and wanted to eat first, he was afraid his sweaty smell would bother his wife.
