Chapter 289 Xie Chengyuan brings beef to find Shen Shuli
Xie Jinyan also came over, wiped his drool and said, "Then let's wait a bit, I can't wait to eat. Ninth Uncle, could you get us a piece of meat to grill and satisfy our cravings later?"
Xie Chengyuan knew that his four nephews had suffered a lot during this time and hadn't been able to eat a single good meal.
He felt very sorry for her and nodded in agreement without saying a word.
Xie Jinchen also said with a smile, "Then I'll go find some firewood and start a fire now. It's too cold to just stand here and wait to be blown by the wind."
"Third Brother, I'll go with you to find firewood."
Xie Chengyuan quickly stopped them, saying, "Don't rush. Let's take our prey and find a river, otherwise we won't be able to deal with all the blood."
“Okay, there’s a river a little further ahead. I’ll break the ice to get water later.”
Xie Chengyuan and his four companions immediately moved to a different location, heading towards the riverbank.
Although this river is not as large as the river at the base, it is still a very large river.
The river surface has been covered with a layer of ice that is hard enough.
Xie Jinxing and his three companions split into two groups.
Xie Jinxing and Xie Jinyan went to gather usable wood and dried the firewood using their internal energy.
Xie Jinchen led Xie Jinhui to the riverbank, where they devised a plan to carve a hole in the ice with a knife and stones.
Xie Chengyuan is a skilled hunter, but he is somewhat helpless when it comes to processing and butchering his prey.
He hesitated for a long time before finally making the first cut.
Peel.
Peeling was relatively simple for him, and he finished it quickly.
But figuring out how to perfectly dissect each part was a bit tricky for him.
The only way is to first remove the internal organs, then cut off the entire cow's head, and then split it in two along the spine.
"How about we have roasted beef head for lunch?"
If that's not enough, you can eat some offal or something similar to make do.
Xie Chengyuan was worried that he would ruin part of it and Shen Shuli wouldn't be able to eat the beef she wanted.
He clearly remembered that her favorite foods were roast beef and hot pot.
Xie Jinxing and the others had no objections; they were fine with whatever they ate.
As long as they can eat their fill of meat, that's fine.
The five of them worked on it for an hour.
I finally got to eat the juicy, sizzling barbecue I'd been craving for so long.
You can take a bite.
All five of them frowned simultaneously.
"Uncle Jiu, this tastes so different from what I imagined!" Xie Jinyan wrinkled his nose and swallowed the meat in his mouth with difficulty.
Xie Chengyuan remained silent.
Xie Chengyuan remained silent.
Only then did he remember.
I didn't bring any seasonings with me when I went out, not even salt.
This meat has absolutely no flavor; no wonder it tastes bad.
But after all that fuss, he was really hungry.
I had no choice but to bite the bullet and eat it.
"We didn't bring any seasonings, so let's just make do with this. We'll have a proper meal when we get back."
Xie Jinyan and the other three were helpless, but they forced themselves to eat the meat.
After finishing the piece of meat in their hands, the group stopped touching the rest of the grilled meat.
Xie Jinxing said with difficulty, "Uncle Jiu, let's not waste these. Let's take them back, sprinkle some seasoning on them, and then eat them. I really can't eat them anymore. I'm going to throw up if I eat any more."
The others, worried that Uncle Nine would be angry, quickly nodded in agreement.
Xie Chengyuan shared the same idea and immediately nodded in agreement.
Xie Chengyuan cut the two slices of beef in half again, making them into four pieces, so that the weight could be distributed evenly among the four horses, thus preventing them from getting tired.
Back at base.
It was already past noon.
Xie Chengyuan brought his four nephews back home and told them to quickly wash up and have something to eat.
He went back to his room to shower and change clothes, and carefully removed the stubble from his face.
The Xie family's residence was the largest, house number four.
The main building has five rooms.
The middle room is the largest main room, used to entertain guests and where family members gather to chat and work.
The best room in the two main rooms on the left belongs to Madam Xie, and the other room belongs to Madam Xie, who is also Xie Chengyuan's mother, Ji Mengqi.
The two main rooms on the right are the rooms of Xie Chengyu and Xie Chengyuan, respectively.
The five side rooms on the left and the two side rooms on the right were occupied by Xie's seven daughters-in-law and their daughters.
The other three rooms on the right were each occupied by the twins, Xie Jinxing and Xie Jinchen.
Xie Jinyan and Xie Jinhui are only nine years old and share a room.
The kitchen, woodshed, washroom, and outhouse are located in the row of rooms facing backwards from the entrance.
The Xie family lives in the largest apartment, but it still feels a bit cramped.
The eldest daughter-in-law, Lan Jingxian, originally had an eldest son, Xie Jinming, who couldn't wait to join the army in the northern border when he was only fifteen years old.
But not long after, news of his death came back.
After losing her eldest son, she immediately restrained and dispatched troops to protect her nine-year-old second son, Xie Jinyan, because she was worried that something might happen to him as well.
The sons of Xie Er Shao Naifu Liu Shiyao are twins Xie Jinxing and Xie Jinchen, who are eleven years old.
Gu Zhiqing, the third young mistress of Xie family, gave birth to twins Xie Jinhui and Xie Jinxuan, who are nine years old this year.
The other young mistresses all gave birth to daughters.
Li Zixuan, the fourth young mistress of Xie, gave birth to a daughter, Xie Jinzhao, who is eight years old.
Zhang Xuezhen, the fifth young mistress of Xie family, gave birth to a daughter, Xie Jinqing, who is six years old.
Xie Liu Shao's wife, Ye Suyun, gave birth to her daughter, Xie Jin, when she was three years old.
The seventh young mistress, Zhu Huilan, also has a pair of twin daughters who are just over one year old.
The eighth brother, Xie Chengyu, and the ninth brother, Xie Chengyuan, are twins, seventeen years old this year, and are not yet married.
With a limited number of rooms, they could only share one room with their daughter.
Fortunately, each room is quite spacious, with a size of about 30 square meters.
It can also be divided into a small living room/activity area and a bedroom.
The young mistresses of the Xie family were all widows. They did not want to separate from the family and wanted to fulfill their filial duties to their mothers-in-law and grandmothers in place of their husbands.
Otherwise, if the family splits up.
The Xie family's daughter-in-law, who has no male heirs, has to live alone with her young children.
Life must be tough, and you must feel terrible.
It's better to live together; it'll be more lively, and there won't be time to grieve and be heartbroken over the deceased.
After washing up, Xie Chengyuan couldn't wait to take half a carcass of beef to visit the Su family next door.
He knew that Shen Shuli had been staying home recently and wouldn't be going out.
The Su family also has a large population.
When Su Yunhai was choosing a house, he took the opportunity to propose separating the family property from his eldest and third brothers.
Previously, when I was in Peach Blossom Village.
Su Yunhai had already separated from his parents and brothers.
But at that time, parents and siblings were strangers who were related by blood.
His current parents are Su Yunhai's biological parents, and his brothers are his biological brothers from his previous life.
We still need to have a proper talk about this.
The Su family has always maintained a harmonious and loving atmosphere in modern times. The brothers do not compete with each other, but only do what they should do and get what they deserve.
They won't force their parents to divide things in any way, but will let them decide what's in their brothers' pockets.
Old Mr. Su and his wife, having come to this era, still wanted to live with their sons and enjoy life to the fullest.
After all, they are more than ten years younger here than in their previous lives, and their bodies are getting younger and stronger every day.
He's in the prime of his life.
I love a lively and bustling home.
But a real problem lies before them.
Su Yunhai, Shen Yuehua, and Shen Shuli are all from the past.
The three of them were originally a loving family.
But they also gained three adopted sons: Su Chang'an, Su Ping'an, and Su Ding'an.
Although the three sons each have their own strengths and weaknesses, they are not from the same era, so there is bound to be a generation gap.
Most importantly, there are the brothers Su Yunshan and Su Yunlin.
Of these two families, only the two of them are from another time.
Their wives and children were all pure ancient people.
Especially Su Yunshan's wife, Cui Yuhong.
This is just a clueless troublemaker who's extremely envious of what others have in their pockets.
If they don't separate...
There are definitely many contradictions.
Su Yunlin's wife, Lin Xiuxiu, was a little more docile, but she was always resentful that she had not given birth to a son.
They always feel that the family has given them too little in their room, and it's inevitable that they'll harbor some ulterior motives.
Su Yunhai was the first to speak.
He's so busy every day that he doesn't have time to deal with these trivial family conflicts.
So it's better to just separate the family.
Anyway, the three families can choose to live together in one house, and they can move around freely during the day.
Whether the family separates or not makes no difference.
The two elderly people can choose which son to live with.
It's just a short walk, so you can stay at a different place every day.
Su Yunshan's branch of the family had the largest population, with a total of fourteen people.
He has three sons and one daughter.
The eldest son, Su Mantang, and his wife, Wang Chunhua, had two sons, Su Tianbao, who was eight years old, and Su Tianfu, who was five years old.
The second son, Su Manliang, and his wife, Zhang Xiaohong, had a daughter and a son, Su Tianxiao, who was six years old and Su Tiangui, who was three years old.
The third son, Su Mancang, and his wife, Lü Taohong, had a daughter, Su Tianxiang, who was three years old.
My daughter, Su Manyue, is sixteen years old.
They were originally engaged back in Peach Blossom Village.
However, due to the famine, the project was delayed and fell through.
Su Yunshan chose room number 2, which has three rooms in the main house and three in the east and west wing rooms.
It's just enough for their family of fourteen to live in.
Cui Yuhong was unhappy about it at the time.
They insisted on choosing the largest apartment.
They felt that since the Su family held the highest status in the group, they should stay in the largest room.
It's a No. 4 room type, with five rooms in the main house and five in the east and west wing rooms.
At that time, she and her three sons and daughters-in-law will all live in the main house.
How wonderful it would be if each of her daughters, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren could have their own separate house.
As for the empty house, our grandson will get married and have children in the future, so we should prepare it in advance.
This is a new house.
The quality and materials used are excellent!
The main thing is.
The room is large.
The front and back yards are quite large, covering a considerable area, so she can grow vegetables, raise pigs and chickens at home. How wonderful!
My husband must be out of his mind to not choose the biggest house!
This is the Su family's house!
She was so envious!
If possible.
She even wanted to give each of her three sons the biggest house!
It would be so nice to live right next to each other!
She made a huge fuss for a long time in order to live in a big house, and even threw a tantrum at Su Yunshan for a long time.
But Su Yunhai didn't even glance at her.
He was extremely cold-hearted and couldn't be bothered to argue with this woman.
The main reason is that this woman has the same appearance as his modern wife.
He didn't want to say anything hurtful to that face.
If his wife were to transmigrate here in the future and receive these memories, she'd be devastated.
His sons and daughters also wanted the largest apartment, and they made their requests to Su Yunshan both openly and secretly.
