Chapter 113: Both Meat and Vegetarian Dishes are Available

An Wenjing came out of the house with a bucket.

Hearing Wang Hongmei's voice, she responded with a smile.

Wang Hongmei laughed and said with emotion: "This is incredible. Chen Hui is now married. He can't even be called a lazy man anymore."

An Wenjing smiled sweetly and walked out carrying the bucket.

Chen Hui strode to the fence, looked outside and asked, "Where are you going?"

"Hehe, keep it a secret!" An Wenjing said mysteriously, then walked away swayingly with the bucket in her hand.

Wang Hongmei came down the hillside and took a look at the field Chen Hui was hoing.

He said with some surprise: "Huh? You dug the ground pretty well? I was thinking about asking Guo Gang to help you, but it seems that's not necessary."

"Aunt Hongmei, I'm just too lazy to do it, not that I can't do it."

"How can a young man in his early twenties be outdone by Uncle Guo Gang?" Chen Hui chatted with Wang Hongmei while hoeing the ground.

"Your uncle Guo Gang can carry back two or three hundred kilograms of sweet potatoes from the mountain!" said Wang Hongmei.

"."

"Then I can't compare with you, I really can't." Chen Hui smiled and shook his head.

"I'm not kidding you anymore. Do you want to eat some chicken mushrooms? I picked quite a few. Can I give you two big ones?" Wang Hongmei asked, holding up the basket in her hand.

"Eh? There are chicken mushrooms now? Is this a good thing?"

Chen Hui put down the hoe in his hand and walked to the fence curiously.

There are more than seven or eight chicken mushrooms in Wang Hongmei's basket, most of which are as big as a palm.

Even though it's overripe, it still tastes delicious.

"There was a lot of rain at the beginning of spring this year, and the heat didn't come until later, so the mushrooms grew fast."

"Take it. It's delicious when you cook egg soup with it or mix it with oil and salt." Wang Hongmei took out three flowers and handed them to Chen Hui.

"Mom!!!" Chen Xiaoming ran down the hillside and passed by Wang Hongmei in a hurry.

"Thank you, Auntie. These mushrooms are really good!"

Chen Hui didn't hesitate to take the chicken mushroom and put it aside.

"You're so polite. There are plenty of these on the mountain."

Wang Hongmei said jokingly, then strode over and grabbed Chen Xiaoming by the back of his collar.

He slapped him on the butt and scolded him, "You're like a monkey all day long. Aren't you afraid of falling down?"

Chen Hui put the chicken mushrooms back into the kitchen and came out to continue hoeing the ground.

An Wenjing jogged all the way there, and rested while walking on the way back.

It took a while to carry back a large bucket full of round stones that he had picked up from the river.

Laying stones on the previously marked areas can not only better divide the areas, but also prevent your shoes from getting covered in mud when you walk on them on rainy days.

But to create the feeling of a path, a bucket of stones is not enough.

After pouring the first bucket of stones to the side, An Wenjing turned around and went out again with the bucket.

Chen Hui was quick-witted and quick-handed, and he stepped forward and grabbed An Wenjing by the back of her collar.

"Brother Chen Hui, what are you doing?" An Wenjing looked back in confusion.

"Um! Ugh, no."

"I'm thirsty and I want to drink a cup of hot tea." said Chen Hui.

"Okay, then I'll go boil some hot water to make tea for you." An Wenjing put down the bucket, patted the ashes off her hands, and went into the house to boil water.

Chen Hui picked up the bucket and, imitating An Wenjing's behavior, carried the bucket towards the river.

The stones used to pave the vegetable garden should not be too small. Although pointed ones can be used, it is best to have rounded ones.

Chen Hui was carefully selecting by the river.

A tricycle passed by the bridge and stopped on the bridge and asked, "Chen Hui, what are you doing?"

Chen Hui looked up and saw who was coming.

He threw a stone in his hand into the bucket, walked to the bridge and asked, "Master Jiang, can you lend me your tricycle? I'll take some stones home to plant the vegetable patch."

"You're lucky, you happened to meet me coming back." "If you happened to meet me going out, you wouldn't be able to borrow it. Don't make it dirty, I still have to transport planks tomorrow."

Jiang Houfa said this as he got down from the tricycle, took out the car key and handed it to Chen Hui.

"I'll finish transporting the stones, wipe them clean with a towel and then send them back to you."

"Master Jiang, can you lend me Huang Miao as well?" Chen Hui asked again.

"Okay, but you have to come back after dinner because you have work to do in the evening," said Jiang Houfa.

"Hey, before you ask me to do work for you, shouldn't you ask for my opinion?" Huang Miao poked Chen Hui.

It was obvious that he wanted me to go pick up stones with him.

"Then will you help me?" Chen Hui asked.

There is no boy of eighteen or nineteen who doesn’t like to play.

Being by the river, whether catching fish, shrimps or rocks, was more interesting than going back home to work with Jiang Houfa.

"Forget it. I'll help you this time reluctantly." Huang Miao said.

Jiang Houfa naturally saw it as well, smiled and shook his head, took the tools from the truck bed and went back.

Most of the stones downstream had been picked up, and Huang Miao gradually walked upstream.

A long and thin object suddenly passed in front of him, and he jumped back a step in fright.

After realizing what was happening, he excitedly whispered to Chen Hui, "Chen Hui, come and see."

"What's there?" Chen Hui reacted quickly and put the stone in his hand into the bucket.

"That water snake just disappeared from here in a flash." Huang Miao said, pointing at the water surface.

"Let me take a look."

Chen Hui pulled up his trouser legs and squatted down at the location Huang Miao pointed.

He pretended to pull the grass on the shore and soon sensed the location of the water snake.

He reached his hand under the gap between the two rocks, accurately grasped the water snake's head and lifted it out of the water.

"Hmm? Not very big."

"It looked quite big when it darted past just now." Huang Miao was a little disappointed.

"You can make a bowl of soup now, and come to my house for dinner tonight."

As Chen Hui spoke, he pulled out some long grass from the river bank and tied the snake to the tricycle.

"Then I'll definitely eat yours."

After Huang Miao finished speaking, he bent down and continued picking up stones by the river.

An Wenjing boiled some water and made tea.

When he came out, he saw that Chen Hui and the bucket were gone. He immediately realized that Chen Hui asked him to boil water for tea because he felt sorry for him being too tired from picking up and moving stones.

They tacitly did not go to the river to find him, but turned over all the land that Chen Hui had turned over again, making the soil more fluffy.

The sun was getting dark and it was time to prepare dinner, but no one came back yet.

An Wenjing put down the hoe and prepared to go to the river to look for it, when she saw Chen Hui pushing a tricycle and Huang Miao carrying a snake already at the door of her house.

"Sister-in-law, I'm here to eat, and I brought some meat."

Huang Miao said with a smile and deliberately swung the water snake in his hand forward, trying to scare An Wenjing.

Unexpectedly, An Wenjing was not afraid at all. She took the water snake, held it in her hand by its mouth, and managed its tail to prevent it from wrapping around her arm.

"Well, that's good. I just happen to have some herbs that can be used to make snake soup."

"Remember to drink more at night." An Wenjing said, and imitated Huang Miao's just now to swing the snake forward.

"what!!!"

Huang Miao's face changed drastically and he jumped a few times on the spot with a scream.

Looking closely, the water snake was still in An Wenjing's hand.
