Gu Jin put down little An in her arms and went to pick up the dead pheasants and wild rabbits piled on the ground.
Little An saw this and bent down too: "Sister Ajin, let me help you!"
He reached out and picked up the wild rabbit and two pheasants from the ground.
Gu Jin held a deer in her arms and smirked at An Mingji: "Okay."
The two caught up with the three ahead—Gu Family father and son and Du Aiqing.
After breakfast, the villagers of Qingshan Village were already out for their morning walk.
Some villagers, seeing the Gu Family father and son and Du Aiqing carrying a weighty wild boar, were all shocked.
Instantly, everyone started visiting each other, preparing to join the excitement at the Gu Family.
Old Man Gu, Chen Hong, and Gu Minmin didn’t return to the kitchen for breakfast. Since Gu Jin and the others left home, they had been waiting at the door.
Seeing the Gu Family father and son coming back with a wild boar, followed by many villagers, Chen Hong’s eyes reddened again, this time not with excitement but with anger.
To her, the villagers following were there to steal her meat.
She opened the main door and quickly walked toward her husband and son.
"This wild boar is big enough. Quick, carry it home, we’ve cleared a space in the yard."
Seeing the wild boar like a small mountain, Chen Hong’s smile became crooked with happiness.
Gu Decang was full of excitement and nodded to his wife, carrying the wild boar into the yard.
The villagers behind wanted to join in the fun, but Chen Hong blocked them with her arms at the door.
"Chen Hong, what’s the meaning of this?"
A plump woman, her face full of jealousy, complained.
"Nothing special, it’s just not convenient today, so we won’t entertain everyone,"
Chen Hong looked at the various expressions on the people’s faces outside the door, then boldly shut the main door, locking it to prevent anyone from coming in.
"Ugh, stingy woman..."
The voices outside, Chen Hong ignored entirely.
At this moment, her mind was full of the wild boar laid on the ground in the yard.
We’ve struck it rich!
How long would it take to finish so much pork!
Although Old Man Gu knew his grandchild had mentioned hunting a wild boar, he hadn’t expected it to be so large. Seeing the wild boar like a small mountain in the yard, even the old man rarely changed his expression.
He glanced at Gu Jin by his side. She appeared quite calm, with hardly any emotions showing.
The old man felt this girl had changed, making her unfathomable.
Although he didn’t usually pay much attention to her, he only knew she was quiet, always keeping her head down, and couldn’t integrate into this family.
Now, she had changed a lot, but he didn’t know when it happened.
The old man glanced at the graceful, now more agreeable, Gu Jin, and said: "Your aunt cooked some eggs in the kitchen, take this kid and go eat."
Gu Jin indeed felt a bit hungry, she looked up and nodded to the old man: "Okay."
She ignored the matter in the yard with Du Aiqing and the Gu Family distributing pork. What needed to be communicated had been said before, now it’s their business. She led little An toward the kitchen.
In the kitchen, five eggs were boiling. Gu Jin didn’t expect her aunt to be so generous. In the past, she would have been heartbroken.
Gu Jin scooped out all the eggs, then glanced at the bowl of cornmeal porridge nearby, noticing it was quite thin.
She didn’t mind, scooped two bowls of porridge, and picked up some coarse grain buns, placing them on a bamboo tray, heading towards An Mingji on a small stool by the table.
She took out three eggs from the tray and placed them on the table in front of An Mingji.
