Chapter 573: Chapter 573: Qingming Festival Ancestor Worship (2)
Previously, Ms. Zhao was quite aggressive, mainly because Elderly Mr. Di’s invisible support fueled her confidence. After that, she became even more unscrupulous.
Nowadays, Elderly Mr. Di wouldn’t side with Ms. Zhao at all, so if she wanted to cause trouble, she had to weigh her chances carefully.
It was rare for Liu Sisi to return to her hometown, so naturally, she took Guihua’s hand and didn’t let go. The two seemed to be back to their initial days, chatting and laughing in the hall.
On their way, they met Di Yelei and Zhang Peng walking out of the kitchen together, laughing and carrying bows and arrows on their shoulders.
“Eh? Where are you guys going?” Liu Sisi curiously asked, pretending not to know.
“Isn’t it rare to come back here? Ye Lei’s hands have been itching, so we’re planning to go to the mountain and bring back some game to add to our meal.” Zhang Peng said with a smile.
Instead, Di Yelei on the side tugged at the corner of his clothes and coughed lightly, his gaze wandering incessantly.
Liu Sisi stared at him with amusement: “If you want to go hunting, just go! You just can’t sit idle for a moment! Oh, remember to bring Ah-Huang and Ah-Hua with you. They have been tied at home and have become impatient, it’s an excellent opportunity for them to get some exercise.”
“Okay! Sisi, you’re so nice! We’ll be back soon. It won’t take long to catch a couple of pieces of game.” Di Yelei laughed with a simple and honest face.
“You said it yourself!”
Liu Sisi didn’t take it seriously; going out to hunt wasn’t something that could be done casually. If they really went into the mountains, who knew where they would end up chasing the game?
Di Yelei was extraordinarily excited! He turned around, called out to Di Cheng and loudly summoned Ah-Huang and Ah-Hua. The two little guys ran over quickly, howling around Di Yelei without stopping.
Calling them little guys – where were they little now?
Nowadays, Ah-Huang and Ah-Hua weighed several dozen jin each, shedding their past cuteness and becoming two mighty and robust hounds.
When they opened their big mouths, the sharp tusks inside could easily frighten a large group of timid people!
Following Zhang Peng were not only the hounds but also Zhang Yun with a bow and arrow.
Most days, Zhang Yun stayed at Di Residence in the small town while attending the village school, only occasionally going home. With his leisure time, Zhang Peng had already taken him up the mountain several times, and his hunting skills were visibly improving.
His gaze lingered affectionately on YingEr, clearly wanting to stay, but he had no choice but to follow behind his dad, looking back every few steps.
At the moment, YingEr was playing happily with a few children, completely oblivious to Zhang Yun’s sad expression.
Feeling helpless, Zhang Yun finally followed the three, chasing after them.
Behind him were also Da Niu and Er Niu, as well as a new guard recently seen by Di Yelei’s side.
This guard had only suddenly appeared a few days ago, and being quiet and unobtrusive, people overlooked his presence wherever he went.
Granny Hu and Ms. Gao had given the hall a thorough cleaning, and it looked completely new. Liu Sisi and the others seemed to have endless things to talk about, chatting about everything from north to south. The boss married this year; the family next door had a daughter getting married. The family in the south corner of the village had a sow that bore many piglets this year, and the family at the north side rented even more land… As Guihua kept talking, the time quickly reached noon.
Ms. Zhao still hadn’t returned, and Liu Sisi sent people to urge her several times, but Zhao’s figure was still nowhere to be seen. Helplessly, everyone had to eat first.
