35: It's like two thousand ducks quacking away.

“It’s still a while before dinner. Why are you hitting the children? It’s the weekend, let them play more…”

Hearing her Godmother’s doting words, Cheng Yu smiled and nodded.

“Alright, alright, I’ll listen to Godmother. I won’t beat them today.”

When Wang Jiang and Wang He entered the Family Courtyard carrying a bag of wild rabbits and Wild Chickens, many children saw them.

“Brother Jiang, what are you and Xiao He carrying?”

“My sister taught us how to catch wild rabbits and Wild Chickens.” Wang Jiang and Wang He held their heads high, like two victorious warriors.

Upon hearing this, their companions all gathered around, looking at the sack with shock.

“Brother Jiang, you said there are wild rabbits and Wild Chickens in here?”

“Such a big bag, how many must there be?”

“Are you bragging?”

The children usually went together to catch wild rabbits and Wild Chickens, but they rarely caught any, so seeing such a large bag, they didn’t believe it.

“Could it be that we’re lying to you?” Wang Jiang directly opened the mouth of the bag, letting them see the wild rabbits and Wild Chickens inside.

“Take a look, aren’t these wild rabbits and Wild Chickens?”

Seven or eight heads instantly gathered around.

“Wow, they really are wild rabbits and Wild Chickens.”

“How many are there?”

“Oh my god, so many! Wang Jiang, you guys really struck it rich!”

“How did you catch so many?”

Wang Jiang and Wang He looked at their companions’ surprised and shocked expressions, becoming even more proud.

“We told you, our sister taught us how to make traps and catch them with slingshots. My sister is amazing.”

“That’s right, my sister is the most capable person in our Family Courtyard.”

All of the companions’ gazes turned to Xiao Niannian, looking at her with expressions of admiration.

Xiao Niannian saw that all of their gazes were filled with respect and admiration.

“Sister, are you an old relative of Wang Jiang and Wang He? Can you be my sister too from now on and teach us how to shoot rabbits with slingshots and make traps?”

“Me too, Sister, I want to be your younger brother.”

“Sister, please be my sister.”

“Sister.”

Xiao Niannian listened to them calling “Sister” left and right, and she felt her head growing big.

One or two people calling “Sister” was fine, but a group of ten or so people calling “Sister” was like two thousand ducks quacking.

“She’s our sister, not your sister, so don’t even think about it.”

“This is my and my brother’s biological sister, you can’t try to steal my sister.”

Wang Jiang and Wang He suddenly felt a sense of crisis and loudly refused.

Regiment Commander Wang and his wife heard the commotion outside and walked out, seeing a group of children chasing their two sons and Niannian, which surprised them a little.

“Old Wang, what happened?”

“Could it be that these two rascals caused trouble?”

The couple were both a little worried that the two rascals had caused trouble. As they watched them approach, with their proud and smug expressions, carrying a bag of things from which animal sounds emanated.

“What have you been up to?”

“Uncle, Aunt.”

Xiao Niannian greeted Regiment Commander Wang and his wife.

“Oh, Niannian, hurry and wash your hands, dinner will be ready soon.”

“You two brats, where did you take your sister?” Regiment Commander Wang asked his sons with a serious face and stern tone.

“Dad, we went to the back mountain. Sister took us to catch a lot of wild rabbits and Wild Chickens,” Wang Jiang said loudly.

Regiment Commander Wang heard this and his gaze fell on the sack. Caught a lot of wild rabbits and Wild Chickens?

Wang Jiang and Wang He opened the sack, each holding a wild rabbit and a Wild Chicken to display them.

“Such big wild rabbits, probably five or six catties each.”

“Oh my goodness, one of these could last several meals, right?”

“So plump and delicious.”

Several children couldn’t help but swallow their saliva as they spoke.

Looking at the wild rabbits and Wild Chickens held before him, Regiment Commander Wang’s gaze turned to Xiao Niannian.

Xiao Niannian had already entered the house.

“Bring the things inside first.”

Cheng Yu hadn’t expected that her Niece could lead her sons to catch so many wild rabbits and Wild Chickens. This was truly impressive.

Xiao Niannian walked into the living room and saw Grandma Xiao talking with Lu Jing.

“Niannian is back! Hurry and wash your hands, dinner is almost ready. Where are Xiao Jiang and Xiao He?” Grandma Xiao asked with a smile.

“They’re behind.”

Wang Jiang and Wang He each grabbed several wild rabbits and Wild Chickens and ran in.

“Grandma, look, these are the wild rabbits and Wild Chickens that Sister helped us catch.”

Grandma Xiao had just heard the sound when she saw her two Godsons rushing towards her like two cannonballs, holding up these wild rabbits and Wild Chickens.

Grandma Xiao examined the wild rabbits and Wild Chickens, then looked at Xiao Niannian.

“Did you catch all of these?”

“Not us, Sister taught us and took us to catch them,” Wang Jiang explained.

Lu Jing’s gaze turned to Xiao Niannian. There were many wild rabbits and Wild Chickens in the back mountain, and also many vegetables and sweet potatoes planted there. Rabbits and Wild Chickens would occasionally come to steal food. The children in the Family Courtyard often went to catch Wild Chickens and wild rabbits, but they rarely caught anything. For Xiao Niannian to catch so many in one go, her skills must be extraordinary.

They usually conducted field training in the mountains. Although they would bring seven days’ worth of rations, most of the time they relied on the mountain for food, and catching wild rabbits and Wild Chickens was also a mandatory course for them.

“Niannian, did you take your younger brothers to catch all of these?”

Grandma Xiao was extremely happy.

“My Niannian is so amazing.”

“Grandma, we also made ten traps! Sister told us to make them. Tomorrow we’re going to check the traps, and we might catch several more…”

Making traps?

Lu Jing’s gaze turned to Xiao Niannian. To have such a harvest in just one or two hours, did she directly clear out a rabbit’s nest and find several Wild Chickens?

Tomorrow, he would have to go and see the traps Xiao Niannian and the others made.

Xiao Niannian saw Lu Jing staring at her, and she looked back at him. She felt that Lu Jing was a man of few words but extremely clever. However, regarding making traps to catch wild rabbits, she could just say that villagers taught her. Even if Lu Jing was suspicious, he wouldn’t find any problems.

“Niannian, you’re truly amazing.” Cheng Yu praised Xiao Niannian excitedly.

This child was beautiful, polite, excellent at martial arts, and now so skilled at catching Wild Chickens and wild rabbits. All her life, she had longed for such a daughter, but after so many years of hoping, she only had two troublesome sons who angered her all day long.

“Uncle, Aunt, kill one rabbit and one Wild Chicken each. Let’s eat them now.”

Hearing this, Grandma Xiao smiled and agreed.

“Yes, yes, yes, Xiao Wu, Xiao Wu’s wife, quickly help kill the chicken and rabbit. Godmother will pluck the feathers and fur.”

“Godmother, Xiao Lu and I will skin these rabbits. We can cure the rabbit pelts to make gloves or hats, and if there are enough, we can even make clothes.”
