At the beginning of the You hour, after Niu Dali and his friends went down the mountain, Wang Shihu, Yang Zi and Tianhu were responsible for sending their prey to the town. Niu Dali carried a bow and arrow and grabbed the ears of two hares with one hand.
At this moment, there were three little girls in the yard teasing Xiao Huang and Xiao Hei. One of the thin little girls was particularly conspicuous. Niu Dali knew that the thin little girl was the daughter of Widow Sun, named Xiu'er, and had a good relationship with his two girls.
"Dad, you're back!" Seeing Niu Dali come in, Da Ya and Er Ya ran over excitedly, and two puppies followed behind them.
"Uncle Dali!" Xiu'er shouted politely.
"Have your mother been here?" Niu Dali asked.
"My mother is here too, and she is embroidering with Aunt Lan in the house!" Xiu'er said nervously.
Niu Dali nodded. Since they split up, Widow Sun would usually come to ask Li Xianglan for advice on embroidery work. Li Xianglan was good at embroidery work. When he was in the Niu family, the clothes of the whole family of the Niu family were stitched by Li Xianglan.
In ancient times, women had very few ways to make money, and embroidery was one of the few ways they made money.
Since her husband passed away, Widow Sun relied on the embroidery work that Li Xianglan secretly taught her, embroidery day and night, to support the mother and daughter.
Later, when they built the house, Widow Sun did not come often. Instead, Li Xianglan took Da Ya and Er Ya to Widow Sun's place to embroider.
He didn't mind Li Xianglan and Widow Sun getting close to each other. In ancient times, he was originally very unfair to women, let alone those widows who lost their husbands.
As the saying goes, there are many troubles in front of the widow, especially those who are extremely beautiful, which can easily cause others to whisper and talk about their own faults.
Men will look at them with strange eyes, while women will look at them with disgusting prejudice.
Perhaps others are somewhat taboo and prejudiced towards widows, but Niu Dali doesn't have this idea.
However, compared with other villages, their Xinghua Village is quite good for widows.
Wang Qingyang is fair in his work and never has prejudice against anyone, but it is different in other villages, because some rumors force a widow to death and are everywhere.
What's more, Widow Sun is straightforward and has a good match with Li Xianglan's soft temperament. When she was splitting up, she even spoke for their family, which made Mrs. Qian so angry that she was half-in-law.
Therefore, Niu Dali had no objection to Li Xianglan helping Widow Sun.
"Dad, you've hit the hare again!" Seeing the hare in Niu Dali's hand, Erya's little mouth was almost flowing out.
Niu Dali found it funny and smiled and touched Erya's little head, "Yes, I'll tell you to stew rabbit soup tonight, do you want it?"
"I like to eat braised rabbit meat!" Erya said sweetly.
Xiu'er, who was standing beside her, looked at the hare in Niu Dali's hand with envy expressions, and couldn't help swallowing her throat.
Niu Dali naturally discovered her appearance. He raised the rabbit meat and smiled and said, "Xiu'er also wants to eat it?"
"I still have wild boar meat at home!" Xiu'er shook her head immediately.
Wild boar meat?
Could it be that he beat the wild boar last time?
Yes, relying solely on Widow Sun's meager income can only support the two of them, which requires saving food and clothing.
Niu Dali sighed in his heart, handed the hare meat in his hand to her, and smiled and said, "It just so happened that uncle has two hares, one of them will be taken home and asked your mother to cook for you!"
Xiu'er looked at the hare in her hand and felt a little at a loss.
"Xiu'er, my father told you to take it, just take it!" Da Ya advised.
"Yes, the rabbit meat is so delicious!" Erya nodded with her little head.
Xiu'er looked hesitant. In fact, she also wanted to eat rabbit meat. Although the wild boar meat at home can still be eaten, it is hard and dry, and it takes a long time to swallow it.
"Xiuer, please return the hare to you Uncle Dali."
But at this moment, Widow Sun and Li Xianglan walked out of the house. Widow Sun naturally heard what happened in the yard and shouted.
Xiu'er lowered her little head and handed the hare to Niu Dali. Niu Dali didn't answer, but looked at Widow Sun and said, "This is my wish. I'll ask you to take it and take it. What are you doing?"
"Yes, Sister Sun, Brother Dali gave it to you, you can take it. Our family can't eat two hares." Li Xianglan knew about the situation at Widow Sun's house and advised.
Widow Sun rarely accepts the benefits of others, especially men. In her opinion, she is dedicated to her for nothing, either to be cheap or to steal, but Niu Dali's family is different. The whole family is honest, unlike others who are full of bad intentions.
After some pushback, Widow Sun still reluctantly accepted the hare meat and went home with Xiu'er.
Li Xianglan sighed: "Sister Sun is really not easy."
Niu Dali was a little amused and crying. It seemed that his life in the old Niu family was worse than that of Widow Sun.
