Chapter 286 A Hunting Trip

Su Xiaoxiao found a guest room for Su Bingcheng and arranged for him to stay there.

Su Bingcheng toured Su Xiaoxiao's home and was once again amazed at how beautiful it was and how convenient the various decorations were.

Such a home naturally makes people feel very comfortable and happy to live in it.

The next day, when the sun was high in the sky, Su Xiaoxiao finally woke up. To be precise, she wasn't awake; she was woken up by a noise. Da Bao happily came over and knocked on the door.

After Su Xiaoxiao lazily opened the door, she saw Dabao excitedly saying to her, "Mom, how about we go hunting in the mountains today? My master said he'd take me hunting and we can test my archery skills."

Da Bao was also holding a bow and arrow, which An Yongshan had specially made for him.

Seeing how excited the child was, Su Xiaoxiao naturally didn't want to spoil the fun.

After seeing that Su Xiaoxiao had agreed, Da Bao happily ran off to find Su Bingcheng.

"Uncle, shall we go hunting in the mountains together?"

Su Bingcheng planned to go back after breakfast this morning, but Da Bao held him back and insisted on going hunting with him.

Having no other choice, he had to agree to his nephew's request.

Su Xiaoxiao was unusually happy. She had been depressed these past few days because of Pei Yuan leaving her to go to the front lines. She had no mood to do anything and kept thinking about Pei Yuan, worrying that something might have happened to him at the front lines.

Such worries kept Su Xiaoxiao from sleeping well, and she had even less energy to do anything.

Speaking of hunting, it's the only thing Su Xiaoxiao is currently interested in. After arriving here, she started her hunting career, and she earned her first pot of gold through hunting.

Since they could go hunting together in the mountains and also witness An Yongshan's skills, Su Xiaoxiao felt quite excited.

An Yongshan said to Su Xiaoxiao, "This is a rare opportunity. The weather is so nice today. You might just run into a fox basking in the sun. This is a once-in-a-lifetime chance."

"it is good."

Su Xiaoxiao helped Xiaobao get dressed. "Xiaobao, we're going hunting together today. Do you want to come along?"

After hearing what Su Xiaoxiao said, Xiaobao was quite happy and said, "If my brother is going, then of course I should go too."

She happily jumped around on the kang (a heated brick bed), and her adorable appearance amused Su Xiaoxiao.

"I wonder if I'll be able to catch any fish?"

After hearing this, Su Xiaoxiao flicked Xiaobao's forehead and said, "What are you thinking about? It's winter now."

After hearing this, Xiao Bao chuckled and began to think thoughtfully. Su Xiaoxiao, seeing such a young child lost in thought, immediately went over and hugged him tightly, asking, "Xiao Bao, what's wrong? What are you thinking about?"

Xiao Bao lowered his head and said, "I want to eat boiled fish. I wish I could catch a fish."

Su Xiaoxiao thought for a moment, "That's it! We can go to the riverbank, dig a hole, and then catch fish to eat."

"That's great, Mom. Bring out my tiger-skin vest. I'll wear that today; I'll look really impressive."

Su Xiaoxiao smiled helplessly at Xiaobao and agreed.

The snow outside has melted, and the weather has warmed up considerably.

After the family finished breakfast, they began to prepare to set off. Su Xiaoxiao prepared her bow and arrows and suddenly felt a long-lost feeling when she held them in her hands, as if she hadn't held them in her hands for a long time.

Everyone happily packed their things and prepared to leave. When they reached the village entrance, they encountered Granny Liu. When she saw Su Xiaoxiao and her family approaching, her face clearly fell. After her expression changed, she spat at Su Xiaoxiao and her family before turning and leaving.

When Su Bingcheng saw how rude Granny Liu was, he wanted to rush over and teach her a lesson.

Su Xiaoxiao stopped him, "Isn't that your mother-in-law? Why is she still behaving like this?"

Su Xiaoxiao smiled helplessly, indicating that Su Bingcheng should not take Liu's words to heart.

"If I run into her like this again, I'll teach her a lesson and make her suffer."

"Forget it, why bother arguing with her?"

Su Xiaoxiao said this, but in reality, she could no longer hate Granny Liu.

Even if it's hatred, someone like Granny Liu doesn't deserve it.

And to be honest, in Su Xiaoxiao's opinion, Granny Liu seems to have no other skills besides courting death.

After hearing about what Granny Liu had done, Su Bingcheng felt indignant on Su Xiaoxiao's behalf.

"She's courting death. She's just too damned. She deserves to be taught a lesson!"

After walking for a while, Xiao Bao said to Su Xiaoxiao, "Mom, I can't walk anymore, can you carry me?"

"Okay!"

Su Xiaoxiao looked up at Xiaobao, rubbed her little head, and said, "You really know how to be lazy."

At this moment, Da Bao, who was behind them, kept making faces at Su Xiaoxiao: "You're just being lazy and slacking off. You're so young, yet you're already learning bad habits?"

The two children were playing and fighting together, making a lot of noise and adding a lot of fun to the otherwise mundane journey.

Seeing that Su Xiaoxiao's family was doing so well, Su Bingcheng was truly relieved.

“Before, my parents and I were worried that you wouldn’t be able to take good care of these two children and that you wouldn’t be able to keep up with this kind of life for long. It seems that you really love children and have been able to raise them so well.”

Looking at the two adorable children, Su Xiaoxiao said meaningfully, "Yes, I didn't expect to have such an ability at first, but women are born with a strong maternal instinct, and now I can't live without them."

"That's great. I'm really happy for you, Xiaoxiao. I'm still quite worried that Granny Liu and the others might do something to you. I always feel like that old woman is like a wolf, watching you and the two children every day. I don't know what she's up to."

Su Xiaoxiao was unconvinced. "Don't worry, cousin. I'm not the same Su Xiaoxiao I used to be. Granny Liu is just all talk. I don't believe she can actually do anything."

"Well, it's still best to be careful. By the way, when are you and General Pei Yuan getting married? You've been together for quite a while now, it would be wonderful if you could tie the knot."

Upon hearing this, Su Xiaoxiao smiled shyly.

He said, head down, "It should be soon..."

"Really? That's wonderful. Xiaoxiao, your cousin truly hopes you can find happiness. You don't know how much your uncle and aunt worry about your marriage. They're getting old and want to see you settle down and start a family. Especially a man like him, honestly, he's not easy to find."

"what?"

Su Xiaoxiao was taken aback. What did her cousin mean by saying it was hard to catch?
"Oh, I mean, there's a huge difference in your social status. If you don't make the most of this opportunity, you know what I mean?"
