Watching the prey caught by the children, Gong Tao couldn’t help but feel relieved. Fortunately, they were prepared beforehand.
Zhao Gang was quite surprised. How come his sons, who went out with bows and arrows, had such little harvest? Something’s not right.
"Guangran made quite a commotion today." Zhao Xuran was also speechless. He really didn’t expect Zhao Guangran to be causing trouble.
Gong Ruini glared at Zhao Guangran with displeasure. If she knew he had this kind of plan, she wouldn’t have agreed to him going up the mountain, even at the risk of tearing breaks.
Now it’s fine, no prey caught, yet full of anger. Gong Ruini said she definitely shouldn’t be so foolish in the future.
"Ah." Zhao Gang stared at Zhao Guangran, who kept shrinking back, "What’s wrong."
Previously, when he took his sons hunting, this boy performed quite well. Why would he make such a mistake today?
Especially when even Zhao Xuran, who typically had a good temper and indulged the boy, could get so angry, it was clear the boy did something extremely inappropriate.
When Zhao Guangran was doing it, he was immensely courageous. Especially regardless of how angry Gong Ruini got, his big brother didn’t say anything, which just fueled his courage.
Never thought his big brother wasn’t angry or mad, just it wasn’t the right place for anger or rage at that time.
"Dad, I can explain." His father’s face looked so difficult to read, Zhao Guangran felt very scared inside.
Zhao Guangran looked at Zhao Xuran in all kinds of pleading ways, even not letting the most unwilling-to-help Gong Ruini off the hook.
Hmph, after letting her embarrass herself in all sorts, why would Gong Ruini speak up to aid him? "Dad, there’s no way we can have a barbecue today."
If they hadn’t encountered animals, Gong Ruini wouldn’t have been mad, just that they were not lucky enough; but they repeatedly encountered many animals along the way. If it wasn’t strange noises, it was rather loud movements, scaring away the animals. Gong Ruini was so angry she felt like kicking Zhao Guangran like a ball.
Gong Tao didn’t expect it was Zhao Guangran’s fault his daughter didn’t complete the task, making it hard to say, "It’s okay, I checked the traps. There are animals."
"There’s wild chicken, there’s rabbit." Though the quantity wasn’t large, combined with the animals Gong Ruini and others caught, it should be enough.
"Ah, and these." Seeing these animals made Gong Ruini thrilled; no matter what, today definitely won’t open an empty window, "Dad, I’ll go get some vegetables and then we can roast them."
Actually, Gong Ruini had considered this long ago. Even if there’s not much meat, it’s fine; she could go get some vegetables to wrap meat with or roast vegetables, also with chives, that stuff’s quite good.
Especially after seeing some mushrooms along the way, she specifically picked some to bring home. When the time comes, they’ll roast the mushrooms and definitely muddle through the meal.
Ah, vegetables can be roasted too? Zhao Gang just finished scolding Zhao Guangran and walked over hearing Gong Ruini talking about preparing roasted vegetables and found it weird.
"Can vegetables be eaten?" Zhao Gang always roasted meat, never grilled vegetables.
"They should be fine." Gong Ruini, who regularly had BBQ before crossing, always ordered vegetables, so she was used to bbq including vegetables, and just casually mentioned it.
But hearing Zhao Gang say this, she realized she made a big mistake.
"Meat can be grilled, so should vegetables." Gong Ruini wasn’t very sure either.
Alright, from a child’s perspective, meat and vegetables are both edible and grillable. With so many vegetables growing, not eating them only means drying in the sun for winter; wasting a bit is okay.
"Alright, let’s go get some vegetables." If they can’t eat them, they can sun-dry them or save for tomorrow; it won’t waste, even wasting wouldn’t matter, as winter vegetables don’t cost much.
Gong Tao really wanted to say he didn’t want to eat vegetables. BBQ shouldn’t be all about meat? But Zhao Gang was already moving, forget it, just BBQ. Let’s get some, "Hey, Zhao Gang, don’t get too many vegetables."
Although there wouldn’t be much waste ultimately, leaving them to grow slowly in the field is better than picking them.
Zhao Gang wasn’t very fond of vegetables either, though people should eat some every day; for a grown man with much work every day, one must eat more meat, or life would be very struggling.
Zhao Gang picked only a handful of vegetables, just to fulfill Gong Ruini’s words. Well, Gong Ruini saw it but said nothing; if the stuff turns out tasty, they’ll come for vegetables themselves, as their private land isn’t far.
Alone and pitifully standing aside, Zhao Guangran reflected on his mistakes, watching Gong Ruini and others bustling with ingredients. Extremely upset, he really didn’t know why he got heated up thinking of such an idea.
Hua Miaozhu knew it’s been tough on Zhao Guangran lately, so she occasionally let the child have his temper. Unexpectedly, this leniency made the child’s temper soar further. For origınal chapters go to NoveIＦire.net
"Do you know your mistake?" Hua Miaozhu walked to Zhao Guangran and asked.
Zhao Guangran kept nodding, "I shouldn’t be petty."
"That’s all..." Hua Miaozhu waited a long time, her grandson just said this. Such a conclusion after long reflection left her helpless.
Previously, Zhao Gang mentioned needing to teach Zhao Guangran well, as his behavior lately was excessive; Hua Miaozhu intervened. After all, hitting a child isn’t the best way to educate.
Ah, there’s more? Zhao Guangran looked puzzled at Hua Miaozhu, "I shouldn’t act rashly without thinking."
"Anything else?" Hua Miaozhu thought Zhao Xuran was right, loosening demands for Zhao Guangran indeed harmed him.
Having Gong Ruini nearby for comparison made Zhao Guangran strive hard.
Reflecting on her actions, Hua Miaozhu felt though satisfied with Gong Ruini’s drawing, her preconceived notions affected treating Gong Ruini well.
Now thinking, Gong Ruini really outshined her grandson in many ways. At least she was serious, even if gathering herbal medicine on the mountain daily, she’d complete tasks diligently.
Hua Miaozhu recalled looking at Gong Ruini’s recent paintings, clearly seeing improvements each time, and the progress was obvious.
Preoccupied with thoughts, Hua Miaozhu ignored Zhao Guangran, worrying the child if grandma won’t help him, life might become tough.
No way, he must deeply acknowledge his mistakes.
Consequently, Zhao Guangran seriously contemplated his errors, surprising Hua Miaozhu when she saw his sincere reflection. Recognizing mistakes is good.
