Chapter 42: Chapter 42 Half a liang of meat_1 Chapter 42: Chapter 42 Half a liang of meat_1 Nan Feng eagerly changed into her new clothes as soon as she brought them into her room.
Then she took out the mirror she got from the town and examined herself from different angles.
The feeling reminded her so much of getting new clothes at the orphanage during her childhood, when new outfits were only distributed during the New Year festivities and most of them were half-new donations from the public.
Typically, Nan Feng wore very loose clothing.
However, this dark-red attire fitted perfectly, accentuating her slender waist.
It looked ten times better than her normal outfits.
She then measured her bust size and found it still lacked somewhat.
She tried to recall when she developed in her previous life.
It seemed to be around sixteen years of age.
Now she was just fourteen, so she was in no hurry.
Finally, she put the mirror to her face.
Her facial sores had improved a bit after meticulous care, but were not completely healed yet.
The presence of the sores spoilt her joyful mood.
Hence, she put down the mirror, took off the new dress, and turned off the light to sleep.
After the exhaustion of the day, Nan Feng fell asleep as soon as her head hit the pillow.
…
As the day was just dawning, Nan Feng got up.
In this era without TVs and mobile phones, people generally went to bed when it got dark and woke up at dawn.
Even though the sleeping time was always about eight hours, the quality of sleep was different.
Nothing beats early to bed, early to rise for a refreshing start to the day.
While Nan Feng was brushing her teeth, Nan Quanyou had already cooked breakfast, a pot of porridge with several sweet potatoes.
“Fengfeng, you have been busy for several days now.
Rest a bit today, or do some light work.
Don’t exhaust yourself,” Nan Quanyou ladled her a bowl of porridge.
Nan Feng finished brushing her teeth, then shook her head while having her porridge.
“No, I have to go up the mountain today.
I will try to hunt some game.
We need too many things in our house.
I will earn as much as I can.”
“Then…are you going alone?
Is ‘Nature Brother’ going with you?” Nan Quanyou asked anxiously.
If ‘Nature Brother’ could accompany Nan Feng, Nan Quanyou would be much more relieved.
Nan Feng quickly finished her food, wiped her mouth and said, “‘Nature Brother’…
should be going, too.
I will call him at his door later.”
“Okay, make sure you come back before it gets dark, whether you can hunt anything or not,” Nan Quanyou wrapped a few sweet potatoes and reminded her again, “Take these to eat on the mountain.
Remember to eat, don’t go hungry.”
“Okay Dad, you can just leave the food in the yard.
I will take it when I leave.”
Nan Feng returned to her room, first picked up the new clothes and looked at them, then thought about the upcoming hunting trip and the possibility of tearing the clothes.
She was somewhat reluctant to wear them.
But when she put on her old clothes, she took them off again, and chastised herself: It’s just a dress?
If it’s torn, just buy another.
Why so cautious and careful?
During her past life when she was undercover, she posed as a “gang sister” to get close to Big Boss Fu.
Big Boss Fu often reminded her that a woman’s youth was just a few years and could not be relived.
She should not treat herself badly.
Women who were reluctant to eat and wear well were actually lacking in ambition and ability.
With money and strength, who cared about a single dress?
With that in mind, Nan Feng put on the new clothes again.
Right, if the clothes get torn, just buy new ones.
At worst, she could hunt a few more wolves.
Stepping out in her new attire, Nan Feng was in high spirits.
…
She had to pass by Old Man Zhou’s old house on her way up the mountain, and Nan Feng deliberately glanced inside the fence.
Just then, Old Man Zhou came out carrying a bucket of water.
Seeing Nan Feng, he chuckled, “Fengfeng, are you looking for ‘Nature Brother’?
He has gone to hunt in the mountains.”
“No, I was just passing by,” responded Nan Feng nonchalantly.
“Oh, you should hurry up to the mountain now.
You might catch up with ‘Nature Brother’”, Old Man Zhou remarked with a smile, easily figuring out her little scheme.
“…” Nan Feng frowned, then sprinted off.
