77: The monkey jumped towards Xiao Niannian.

"Grandma is fine." Grandma Xiao had long seen through the second branch of the family. She had raised them for so many years, treating them as her own children. Who knew they would do so many bad things?

After Xiao Dong returned, instead of reflecting, he even helped the Committee members try to harm Niannian. If she didn't cut ties with such a person, he might do even worse things in the future.

Xiao Yueyue cried and ran out.

In the courtyard, there were still many Aunt and sisters-in-law chatting. Aunt Sun and Aunt Huang had originally planned to wait for Xiao Yueyue to return, then say a few more words to her to deepen their impression, so Xiao Yueyue would definitely treat them better then.

"Comrade Xiao, have you finished seeing your relatives?"

Xiao Yueyue wiped her tears, sobbing, and didn't answer them.

"What's wrong with you? Why do you have a slap mark?"

Aunt Sun and Aunt Huang asked, feigning concern.

"Don't ask anymore."

"Could it be that Grandma Xiao hit you?"

"My grandma didn't hit me..."

"Then it was Xiao Niannian?"

These days, the people in the Family Courtyard had also figured out that the person living there was Grandma Xiao, Lu Jing's grandma. But whether she was his biological grandma, they weren't too sure; she was a relative anyway.

She was probably just a distant relative, not a very close one. Otherwise, Grandma Xiao would have made it clear. That's why they dared to take advantage of Grandma Xiao at the time.

But they didn't expect Grandma Xiao to be so formidable.

Grandma Xiao had fought in wars, raised Xiao Zhan and Xiao Dong, and then took care of Xiao Niannian. If she wasn't formidable, how could she have lived until now?

"What exactly is your grandma's background?"

Xiao Yueyue listened to their words but didn't explain. She had learned to flaunt her connections before. Now that Grandma was living in the Family Courtyard, it must be because of Regiment Commander Wang and the others. She had also heard that only a company commander's family could accompany the Military Unit, and it had to be a meritorious company commander, otherwise, they would have to wait until they were a deputy battalion commander to accompany the Military Unit.

She heard that Xu Yang had performed meritorious deeds, and several of them.

Even if Xu Yang was only a company commander now, he might soon become a deputy battalion commander.

Aunt Sun and Aunt Huang were extremely curious about Grandma Xiao's background. Regiment Commander Wang called Grandma Xiao Godmother, and Cheng Yu also brought good things to see Grandma Xiao from time to time. They also felt that this Grandma Xiao had an extraordinary background, which was why they thought of going to her house to take advantage.

Who would have thought that Grandma Xiao was not at all what they imagined?

"I have something to do, so I'm leaving first. If you want to buy anything in the future, you can come to the Supply and Marketing Cooperative to find me."

Hearing Xiao Yueyue say this, Aunt Sun and Aunt Huang were overjoyed.

"Okay, Comrade Xiao, we'll trouble you in the future."

Xiao Niannian listened to Xiao Yueyue talking with Aunt Huang and the others. She knew that Xiao Yueyue would definitely use Aunt Sun and Aunt Huang to gather information.

Now that she was in the Military Unit, she rarely came back, so she wasn't afraid of what Aunt Sun and Aunt Huang might say.

After a good night's sleep, Xiao Niannian woke up and heard Wang Jiang and Wang He running outside the courtyard.

"Wang Jiang, let me play for a while."

"Wang He, this is my toy for you to play with, you lend me yours for a while."

Wang Jiang and Wang He, with their toy guns, were like kings among children. Now all the children in the Family Courtyard wanted to play with their new toys.

"Xiao Jiang, can your sister be my sister?"

"I want a sister like that too."

"Don't even think about it, my sister won't be your sister."

"That's right, we won't let you have our sister."

Xiao Niannian chuckled at these words.

"Grandma, is big sister up yet?"

Wang Jiang and Wang He asked Grandma Xiao.

"She's up, you two hurry and eat."

Grandma Xiao had steamed buns and bread, brewed a cup of milk powder, and there were also last night's leftovers.

"Okay."

The two children ate very happily.

After Xiao Niannian finished eating, Wang Jiang and Wang He wanted her to go into the back mountain to see the new traps they had made.

Xiao Niannian agreed.

Xiao Niannian followed the two brothers with their tools to the back mountain.

Some of the traps they had made before had already been visited, but these people had taken the prey from the traps and hadn't restored the traps to their original state.

So these past few days, the two brothers had very little harvest. They were very angry, but the people who came to pick up the prey were all from the Family Courtyard, and those people always picked them up when the brothers were at school, or early in the morning before they woke up.

Although the two brothers knew which families they were, they couldn't just go to their houses and say something. After all, those people wouldn't admit it.

Moreover, these days when they caught prey in the back mountain, several envious people in the Family Courtyard said that they caught all these animals, and these should be handed over to the Military Unit, not privately kept.

Of course, most of the people in the Family Courtyard were good.

Wang Jiang and Wang He complained to Xiao Niannian about these things.

"Sister, you don't know, someone takes the prey from our traps every day..."

"They are really too much, they still think we don't know, but we've known for a long time. There were clearly several, but they didn't even leave one for us..."

Listening to her two younger brothers, Xiao Niannian spoke.

"Don't be angry, don't set these traps for now. When you have holidays in the future, just guard this area, or go directly to dig out rabbit dens. Also, I'll teach you a few rope traps. When these animals fall into the traps, they will be controlled by the ropes and fly into trees or bushes. Make your traps more concealed, and they won't be discovered..."

Hearing Xiao Niannian's words, Wang Jiang and Wang He cheered happily.

"Thank you, Sister."

Xiao Niannian immediately taught them how to make traps. An hour later, the two little ones had learned all four types of rope traps. Xiao Niannian took them to make four different traps with ropes, then took them to dig out two rabbit dens, and shot several Wild Chickens with a slingshot.

By nearly noon, Xiao Niannian and her brothers had caught more than ten rabbits and Wild Chickens.

Just as they were about to return, Xiao Niannian heard the sound of monkeys.

Hearing The Monkeys' cries, Xiao Niannian looked over.

She saw several monkeys on a branch not far away, watching them.

Xiao Niannian took an apple from her spatial dimension and threw it towards The Monkeys.

The largest monkey saw an apple flying towards it. It pounced, caught the apple, but the apple's force was too great, and it couldn't stand firm on the branch. It fell directly towards the ground below the tree.

The other monkeys nearby cried out.

Xiao Niannian watched the monkey fall from the branch and hit the tree trunk below.

"Ouch..."

The monkey let out a cry of pain.

When the monkey fell to the lowest branch, it held on with both hands, and The Monkeys above cheered.

This monkey leaped towards Xiao Niannian.
