Chapter 165: Good Luck Came

My mood was absolutely fantastic.

After washing the herbs by the river, Li Xinyue ate two biscuits and a candy, humming a tune as she went home.

“Sister-in-law, how did you get the rabbit?”

Li Xinyue couldn’t skin the rabbit, so she quietly called Liu Qiang and asked him to come over and help.

“Hehe, I was lucky today, I saw a real-life example of ‘waiting for a rabbit to bump into a tree.'”

Liu Qiang was astonished: “Sister-in-law, you mean the rabbit ran into you and died?”

Li Xinyue nodded: “Yeah, I’m not lying.”

“I think something might have been chasing it, and then it saw me and panicked.”

That was very possible. Didn’t books say that some people waited for rabbits to bump into trees?

Liu Qiang thought this sister-in-law’s luck was simply too good!

She could even encounter such good fortune!

No wonder she could hunt so many wild boars last time!

“Sister-in-law, do you want this skin?”

“This skin is useless without being tanned, I don’t want it.” Its “peel” right?

Liu Qiang couldn’t shave the skin either, so he had to give up.

The rabbit was really big, after being skinned and disemboweled, it weighed about four pounds.

“Little Liu, come over earlier later, I’ll cook it and you can take half of it.”

Liu Qiang immediately refused: “Sister-in-law, no, no!”

Li Xinyue knew they were being polite, so she said: “Xiao Liu, if you don’t take it, I won’t be able to finish it all, I was going to give it away anyway.”

“Giving it to others to eat is better than giving it to you, you help me every day.”

Liu Qiang felt embarrassed: “Sister-in-law, this is what we should do, I’ll thank you first.”

“What are you thanking me for, you’ve helped me so much, I haven’t even paid you.”

“Come get it later, you’re too polite, I’m embarrassed to let you help all the time.”

How could he be helping?

As a communications officer, besides completing the camp’s daily tasks of passing information up and down, there was also a requirement to provide good service to the leaders.

Now his leader had gone out on a mission, and it was only right to provide good service to the leader’s family.

The instructor had repeatedly instructed that if he didn’t provide good service, he would be criticized.

“Sister-in-law, I’ll go now.”

“Okay, go ahead and get busy.”

The herbs still needed to be drained, after Liu Qiang left, Li Xinyue went back to sleep for a while.

When she woke up, she chopped up the rabbit, then blanched it in cold water to remove the bloodiness, and put it in the pot to stir-fry.

Ginger and garlic were stir-fried until fragrant, then two pieces of rock sugar were added.

Then the rabbit meat was added, and after it was stir-fried until fragrant, soy sauce was poured in, and finally a bottle of beer was added to the pot.

Beer was very expensive now, and you needed tickets to buy it.

But for the sake of deliciousness, Li Xinyue was really willing to spend it.

After it boiled and was ready to be taken off the stove, she poured it into an aluminum pot and placed it on the coal stove to simmer slowly…

“Oh, Xiao Li’s family, what are you cooking that smells so good?”

Auntie Sun’s nose was always long and hooked, and she had the thickest skin.

Li Xinyue closed the front door, and she stood at the back door, shouting directly into the kitchen.

Not wanting to deal with her, Li Xinyue went back to the living room.

Auntie Sunshouted for a while, seeing that no one was paying attention to her, she had to leave with a sense of shame.

Seeing that the stew was almost done, thinking of Zhao Lan, Li Xinyue first filled a medium-sized earthenware bowl, then carried a basket and went over to deliver it.

But just as she reached the door, she heard Wu Xiaohe’s voice.

“I won’t marry a volunteer soldier, I want to marry a cadre!”

Wu Weiguo’s helpless voice: “Sister, I don’t know any cadres who are not married now.”

“Don’t know, then get to know them slowly!”

Wu Xiaohe didn’t care: “I’m happy to graduate, and I’m not bad looking, right?”

“Although I’m not as beautiful as Li Xinyue, I’m more educated than her.”

“She can find such an excellent man, why can I only find a volunteer soldier?”

“Second brother, the families of volunteer soldiers have to follow the army, and they must serve for fifteen years!”

“He’s only been in the army for eight years, and there are still so many years left. How am I supposed to live alone?”

“Anyway, I don’t want to marry a volunteer soldier!”

Her sister clearly looked down on his soldier status!

Wu Weiguo sighed heavily in his heart: “Even officers can’t follow the army immediately after getting married.”

“They either have to serve for 15 years or be promoted to deputy battalion commander.”

“There are only two deputy battalion commanders under 30 years old in the entire division, and they are both married.”

“Most of the company commanders are also married, and even those who aren’t married have partners.”

“Xiaohe, be realistic, alright?”

“Even the wife of the battalion commander, she only followed the army five years after marrying him.”

As soon as these words fell, Wu Xiaohe rolled her eyes.

“That’s because Mingchuan doesn’t like her, otherwise she could have followed the army years ago!”

“Second Brother, I don’t care, I’m going to marry a cadre, not a soldier!”

Li Xinyue didn’t expect to hear this when she came to deliver some meat.

Wu Xiaohe had high aspirations, but she didn’t know if she had the fortune to match.

Someone like her didn’t deserve to eat meat.

Carrying the basket, she turned around.

Fortunately, it wasn’t off work yet, and there weren’t many people outside. The few she met were strangers.

After reaching her doorstep, Li Xinyue didn’t go in, but brought the basket to Qian Sanni’s house.

“Here’s a bowl of rabbit meat for you.”

Qian Sanni was picking vegetables for dinner and would have to pick up her daughter soon.

Smelling the aroma, her mouth watered: “Oh my god, where did you get rabbit meat? It smells so good.”

“I hunted it.”

Qian Sanni’s eyes widened in surprise: “Ah? Xinyue, you know how to hunt?”

Li Xinyue laughed: “Hahaha, just kidding!”

“Actually, hunting isn’t that difficult, but I didn’t hunt it today!”

“Have you learned the lesson of ‘Waiting for the Rabbit’? Today, I encountered a real-life version of it!”

Qian Sanni: “…”

What kind of luck does it take to encounter something like that?

Truly, those with good fortune are incomparable!!!

Qian Sanni took the basket, then returned a handful of string beans, two cucumbers, and a handful of green peppers.

“Following you, there’s always meat to eat!”

Li Xinyue was delighted: “I really know how to set traps, you know what I mean?”

Although Qian Sanni wasn’t from a big city, she grew up in the county, so she didn’t really understand these rural things.

“What do you mean by setting traps?”

Li Xinyue explained with a smile: “It’s using extremely durable ropes, taking advantage of favorable terrain, and setting up a mechanism in places where prey often passes by.”

“When the prey passes by and steps on this mechanism, it will be caught by the rope.”

The more Qian Sanni listened, the wider her eyes became: “Oh my god, you know so much!”

“Xinyue, how do you know so much? You wouldn’t be a little fairy from heaven, would you?”

“Pfft! A little fairy? More like an old fairy!”

Li Xinyue laughed: “My grandpa loved hunting, so when I was little, I often got to eat wild chickens and rabbits.”

“I’ve seen so much, so I learned.”

“When we have time, let’s go to the mountain and set some traps!”

“Maybe we can catch a wild boar one day!”

A wild boar?

Thinking of the wild boar meat that day, Qian Sanni’s eyes sparkled.

“I’m basically stable now, I’ll go to the mountain with you in a couple of days.”

“No problem!”

Going to the front mountain for a stroll wasn’t a big deal.

Even women in the countryside often go up the mountain to chop firewood while pregnant, right?
