While waiting for the rabbit meat, Liu Wenniang spread out a few more black flour pancakes, secretly adding half of the white flour, some more lard, and sprinkled chopped wild vegetables and chives on the pancakes. Under these conditions, it was already excellent.

Yan Ersheng told Yan Wu: "Second brother, go and tell your uncle Big Tiger that he should stop cooking at night and come directly to our place to eat."

"okay!"

Yan Wu put down his work, got up and walked quickly towards Yan Dahu's house not far away.

Here, Aunt Mei is picking wild vegetables and preparing to use some water to make a wild vegetable batter soup in the evening.

Since Xiaoyu got sick last time, their family has tried their best to cook a meal with soup every day. Naturally, the water is used up quickly. Seeing that there is only half a bucket of water left at home, Aunt Mei is quite worried.

"If we save water, we can only last two days at most. I don't know if we can find a water source in this mountain."

"I heard from Ersheng that there should be underground rivers in the mountains, but we have to walk deep into the mountains, so let's try to save as much as possible."

While the couple was talking, Yan Wu hurried over.

"Uncle Dahu, Aunt Mei."

Yan Dahu and Yan Xiangyang, father and son, were making a fire. When they saw Yan Wu approaching, they immediately put down their hands and stood up to look at him.

Xiao Yu squatted beside Aunt Mei to help. When she saw Yan Wu, she quickly ran to him, raised her head and said, "Brother Yan Wu, are you here to play with Xiao Yu?"

Yan Wu smiled and touched her little head. Well... her hair was a little oily. This girl hadn't washed her hair for at least a month.

After retracting his hand, he touched himself secretly, and then he said with a smile: "I'm here to ask you to go to my house to play together. There is delicious food. Xiaoyu, do you want to go?"

Xiaoyu jumped up and nodded her little head: "I want it! I want to go."

Yan Dahu chuckled and said, "What delicious food did your family cook tonight? You can smell it from all the way."

"It was Erlang who caught a rabbit. My mother made a stew of the rabbit in the evening. My father told your family not to cook tonight. Let's go over and eat together."

Aunt Mei got up and walked over.

"A rabbit doesn't have much meat. Many of your family members are still injured and need to be repaired. We won't go there."

"What your aunt said is that we can get together when we hunt more prey in the future. We won't go there tonight."

"Uncle Dahu, Auntie, please don't make things difficult for me. My father will definitely scold me if he sees that I can't please anyone."

Yan Dahu and Aunt Mei looked at each other awkwardly.

Everyone wants to eat meat. Yan Dahu and his family are not the kind of people who want to take advantage of an advantage. Yan Ersheng and his family can barely eat a rabbit, let alone their family of four.

They had good intentions in inviting them, but they couldn't think only of themselves.

Yan Ersheng saw that Yan Wu had not come back for a long time, so he came to call for someone in person.

"Dahu, Yan Wu bought me a jar of wine a few days ago. We brothers haven't drank for a long time. Let's drink a little tonight."

When Yan Dahu saw that Yan Ersheng came to invite him in person, it would be bad if he refused.

"Okay, I've been craving this for a long time."

Aunt Mei glared at Yan Dahu angrily: "You can't walk when you hear about drinking."

Yan Dahu laughed twice: "That's all we can do."

Aunt Mei said, "Okay, I'll go over and help with the cooking."

Yan Ersheng and Yan Wu came back with Yan Dahu and his family, and a pot full of rabbit meat was stewed. Aunt Mei helped Liu Wenniang spread out a few more pancakes and prepared to start the meal.

Yan Shu got some water for everyone to wash their hands, and the two families sat around and started eating.

As soon as I moved my chopsticks, brother and sister Xu Wannian and Xu Shuangxue came over.

Behind them were several boys, each carrying something in their hands.

"Mr. Jiang, Miss Yan, I'm interrupting everyone's meal." Xu Jinnian apologized and bowed to everyone.

Everyone stood up to greet them, and Yan Shu walked up to Xu Shuangxue with a smile.

"Can Sister Xu and Mr. Xu have dinner? We are just preparing to eat. If you haven't eaten, you can eat some here."

"Unfortunately, we have already eaten. What good food are you eating tonight? You can smell the aroma from all the way."

"My uncle shot a rabbit, and my mother used it to stew it in the evening."

Xu Shuangxue praised Liu Wenniang and said, "Sister Shu'er's cooking skills are so good, she must have followed Aunt Yan."

Liu Wenniang was a little embarrassed: "I can only make simple meals, but this girl Shu'er has some talent in cooking."

After everyone exchanged a few words, Xu Wan Nian looked at Yan Wen and Yan Wu.

"My sister-in-law was lucky enough to be helped by brothers Yan Wen and Yan Wu when she was trapped twice. I am very grateful to you for saving my sister's life. Now that my family is moving south, they are short of supplies, so they have prepared a small gift. I’m here to thank you, and I hope you two won’t be offended.”

After saying this, Xu Wannian ordered the servants to deliver the gifts.

Yan Shu glanced at the gifts in the boy's hand. There were double portions of grain, meat, poultry, cakes, and cloth. Xu Wannian took out two more silver notes and presented them with both hands.

Yan Ersheng said: "Master Xu is too polite. We deserve such a great gift."

"Compared with the kindness you two show to my sister-in-law, these gifts are really meager. When I get to the Xinyang Mansion, I will bring my little sister to the door to express my gratitude in person."

Yan Wen spoke up: "It was just a simple effort to save Miss Xu that day. Even if it were someone else in that situation, I would have come to the rescue. Mr. Xu and Miss Xu don't have to worry about this matter so much."

Yan Wu also nodded in agreement: "What the eldest brother said is that we are running away together now when we are short of supplies. Mr. Xu and Miss Xu should take these gifts back quickly."

Xu Wannian smiled and said: "Etiquette cannot be discarded. This is what we should do. Please accept it."

Xu Shuangxue looked at Yan Wen: "Master Yan, my eldest brother always pays attention to etiquette. If you refuse to accept him, he will feel sorry."

Seeing the Xu family brothers and sisters coming to express their gratitude so sincerely, Yan Wen knew it was hard to refuse.

"Mr. Xu, Miss Xu, we have accepted the gift, but we cannot accept the banknote. Please take it back."

Xu Wannian frowned slightly, and when he was about to say something, Xu Shuangxue tugged on his sleeve.

"Brother, just listen to Young Master Yan."

If this life-saving grace was repaid at once, how could she cultivate a relationship with Yan Wen in the future?

So this kindness needs to be repaid little by little.

"Okay, brother Yan Wen and Brother Yan Wu, if you need anything from Xinyang Mansion from now on, just ask."

Yan Wen said: "Then I'll thank Mr. Xu first."

The Yan family was having dinner, and Xu Wannian and Xu Shuangxue stopped for a while and then left.
