The Tempting Educated Youth Married to a Rough Man-Chapter 211 - 207: The Xiao Family: Hahaha, Even We’ve Ended Up Petting Wolves
Xiao Chenxing was going up the mountain at midnight for the first time, holding a torch, and the thrill was truly indescribable.
Hongguo, on the other hand, was extremely adept at heading up the mountain, strolling leisurely, and still managed to look after Xiao Chenxing a bit.
They encountered wild rabbits out feeding at night along the way, and they didn’t hesitate to catch them all.
A delighted Mrs. Xiao was grinning from ear to ear, muttering that if they catch enough of these, they could make some dried rabbit meat to send to the Northwest.
Wen Ran chimed in, "That roe deer meat, venison, we could get some too, good stuff, it’s nutritious."
Although it can’t beat fresh meat in terms of nutrition, it’s still meat; it’s tasty and that’s good enough.
"Alright!"
Mrs. Xiao hooked Wen Ran’s arm, "Some time ago, Xiao Yue wrote saying she got some wool and asked me to knit some sweaters for you all when she gets back.
If you ask me, that girl has just eaten too much wool and cow hair that her brain’s not functioning well anymore. Spring plowing is imminent, by the time she wears it, it’ll be a year..."
"Hahaha, Auntie, you complain with words, but in your heart, you’re actually overjoyed, aren’t you?"
Elders are always like this; they complain that what you bought isn’t good enough, but when you’re not there, they’re the ones boasting about it.
After running for half an hour, they reached the place with roe deer and sika deer.
Mrs. Xiao and Mr. Xiao hadn’t even started being happy when they turned and faced over twenty pairs of ghastly green eyes.
Everyone: "..."
Don’t tell them these are wolves!
Wen Ran had already nonchalantly run over and petted a wolf’s head, "Well done!"
In front of everyone, Wen Ran didn’t do anything strange, like fetching some spring water.
After all, the mountain was full of streams and springs, it would be odd for her to specifically feed water.
In daily interactions, it might go unnoticed, but if she slipped up with something she shouldn’t, linked together, hey ~
That’d be disastrous.
Facing Mrs. Xiao’s wide-eyed, mouth-agape expression, Wen Ran cheerfully waved her small hand, "Auntie~ Come on, give it a pet."
Though timid, Mrs. Xiao was really tempted.
She said hesitantly, oh~ is that alright?
Meanwhile, her feet were already sincerely moving towards Wen Ran.
The lead wolf saw Mrs. Xiao, glanced at her, sniffed, and smelled the scent of its son on her.
Hmm, a very strong scent.
It twitched its ear and, with some reluctance, extended its head towards her.
Hmm~
Anyone recognized by its offspring must be alright.
And also...
This is a very old two-footed beast, even if she had ill intentions, it could guarantee a counter-attack in one breath.
Watching Mrs. Xiao’s trembling hand land on the lead wolf’s head.
She awkwardly patted it, the lead wolf yawned, feeling the task was done, pulled its head back, and casually exposed its belly to Wen Ran.
Wen Ran: "!"
She petted wildly.
Mrs. Xiao was envious, she went over, bent down, tentatively touched the lead wolf’s belly.
Not as soft as imagined.
The wolf’s fur was still a bit prickly.
Seeing the lead wolf wasn’t reacting, Mrs. Xiao became bolder and just went for it.
Petting is what it’s all about.
Seeing Mrs. Xiao’s behavior, Mr. Xiao was also raring to try.
In the end, apart from the hard-working chosen one, Xiao Chenye, still squatting and diligently packing up the catch, everyone else was thoroughly won over by the fluff.
Even though they ended up covered in wolf fur, they couldn’t get enough.
Xiao Chenye complained, "No, it’s the middle of the night, if you want to play, play in the daytime, alright? Let’s go home!"
Wen Ran didn’t wish to leave, her playful side awakening, wanting to play a bit longer.
She hunched her head down, kept silent, while Mrs. Xiao simply took advantage of a free hand in the chaos to deftly retrieve a cloth shoe from her back and without turning around, tossed it.
"Ahhhh~"
Screams were heard, and on the surface, a calm Mrs. Xiao praised herself wildly inside.
These skills, have indeed been honed.
"Mom!"
Xiao Chenye was in shock, "Why did you bring a shoe sole up the mountain!"
The most important thing is...
He plucked a needle from the top, almost fainting with anger, "Why is there a needle too."
"Aren’t you stating the obvious, the cloth shoe was half-made."
"Why did you bring it!"
"To pick my teeth."
"..."
Waving goodbye to the wolves, everyone contentedly carried their catch down the mountain.
This has indeed been a very fruitful day~
Xiao Chenye was fatigued, realizing that it’s only when he’s not home that the family misses him. When he’s back, everything’s ruined.
On the first day back, he’s a treasure, the second day, a son, and by the third day, a piece of crap.
Xiao Chenxing was still explaining to Hongguo what to study at home if not going to school tomorrow, when the sound of heavy footsteps came from behind.
Everyone felt a jolt, turned around, and saw a frenzied young cow.
Nobody knew why Wen Ran and the others provoked it, but its relentless attitude genuinely gave everyone a start.
Mrs. Xiao dropped her things, pushed her daughter into Mr. Xiao’s arms with one hand, held Hongguo with the other, pulled Wen Ran along, and shouted with all her might, "Run!"
One can only say, Mrs. Xiao overestimated everyone’s speed.
When they saw the calf bypass them and head straight for Xiao Chenye, not just Mrs. Xiao, even Wen Ran was baffled.
No way, this calf actually recognizes people?
Seeing Xiao Chenye about to be in trouble.
Wen Ran broke free from Mrs. Xiao’s grip, sprinted and jumped, while descending, she hoped against hope that she’d crash-land on the crazed cow and subdue it.
Sitting on the cow is a completely different concept from hitting the ground.
Fortunately, Lady Luck favored Wen Ran.
She landed accurately on the calf’s back, with a forceful grip, and the calf immediately calmed down.
Nobody knew if Wen Ran smothered it with her seat or strangled it.
However, the speed was too high, the inertia too strong, Wen Ran rolled off the cow’s back and rolled several more times down the mountain road.
When she stopped, her head was spinning.
Xiao Chenye was both distressed for Wen Ran and overwhelmed by his own misfortune.
Why didn’t the crazed cow chase them, why just him!
Before he could check on Wen Ran, Mrs. Xiao, fearless, rushed over, pushed him aside, "Ranran, are you okay?
Did you hurt anywhere? Arms or legs alright?"
She didn’t just talk, she checked with her hands.
Wen Ran, with stars in her eyes, after being checked by Mrs. Xiao, struggled and said, "Tomorrow I want beef buns!!!"
Damn it, it nearly killed me!
Both her butt cheeks felt like they split into eight.
Beside them, Xiao Chenxing and Hongguo looked at Wen Ran with starry eyes.
One thought, wow! My sister is amazing!
The other was like, damn, what an incredible butt!
Staring at the dead cow on the ground, Wen Ran mused, "Auntie, do we still have cows on the mountain?"
"Yes, there are herds of cows, and sheep, if you go further in, you might even encounter horse herds, moose, and such."
