It had already been decided that tonight, they would go to her parents’ house for dinner a bit earlier.

Before leaving, the three of them made sure to greet Fu Qiusheng and Lian Ailian, each giving them a small handful of milk candies as a thank-you.

They were already familiar with the road to Baigou Village’s production team, and after walking for more than half an hour, they finally arrived shortly after it got dark.

“Uncle, Aunt, little Aunt.”

“Uncle, Aunt, little Aunt.”

When Dabao and Xiaobao saw their aunts and uncles, they were overjoyed; now they had someone to play with.

Tonight, their family didn’t eat dinner as early as usual.

Instead, a meal was waiting for them to arrive.

Su Huazhu eagerly took out the braised pork, braised fish, and dumplings from her backpack and asked her sister-in-law to heat them up.

Then, she took out the cookies, snacks, milk candies, and brown sugar she had bought for the family.

Afterward, she went with Song Luoshu into the kitchen to help.

Song Luoyun, Su Ze, and Su Huaiyuan stayed behind to play and chat with Dabao and Xiaobao.

“Mom, what are these…?!”

As soon as Su Huazhu entered the kitchen, she was stunned by the dishes on the stove.

She couldn’t believe her eyes and pointed at the food without saying a word.

“We caught these while we were out gathering firewood at noon,” said Qiao Jiuru with a smile, not lying at all. It had been a spur-of-the-moment idea to bring her husband along.

There were many great things in the mountains of Northeast China—wild rabbits, ginseng, roe deer, wild ducks, wild boars, wild deer, badgers, martens, muntjacs, lynxes…

However, she didn’t expect to find any rare treasures.

She simply wanted to try her luck.

With her space ability in hand, if they encountered danger, she would hide with Su Huaiyuan.

After all, she wasn’t foolish.

Naturally, Su Huaiyuan would follow whatever his wife said.

If they were in danger, he would stand in front of her to protect her.

Fortunately, both of them were very cautious.

They didn’t go too deep into the mountains but instead observed the terrain while gathering firewood.

Then, they found several holes and immediately thought these might be the old dens of wild rabbits. Excited, the couple split up to investigate.

Unexpectedly, they really found a nest of rabbits, capturing all seven of them alive.

Catching so many rabbits so suddenly made Qiao Jiuru and Su Huaiyuan extremely happy.

They kept two large fat rabbits for dinner tonight, and the remaining five were sent into the space.

Su Huaiyuan quickly made a nest for the five rabbits.

He initially thought they might be restless, but surprisingly, these rabbits seemed to really enjoy the space environment and stayed quietly in their nest.

As a result, the dinner now included two large pots of stir-fried rabbit meat, fish ball soup, and a large pot of white rice.

This dinner was even more extravagant and delicious than a New Year’s feast, and everyone ate with delight.

After dinner, it wasn’t long before Su Huazhu and the others had to return.

They couldn’t stay out as late as the night before, as some people at the sent-down youth station had been complaining. It was better to avoid trouble.

Qiao Jiuru and Su Huaiyuan personally escorted the three of them back.

They also sent the three children off with thirty eggs, fifteen pounds of rice, and ten pounds of flour.

Su Huazhu already knew that her parents had arranged for some supplies to be sent secretly not long ago.

The family no longer lacked food or daily necessities, so she could feel at ease accepting them.

When they returned to the youth station, it was just past nine, and everyone inside was preparing to rest.

Upon hearing the knock, Lian Ailian and Fu Qiusheng quickly came out to help open the door.

Seeing them return so early, they breathed a sigh of relief.

Otherwise, the people at the station would have been full of complaints and remarks.
