Traveling through the 1970s: The young wife loves to make trouble

Chapter 314: Long memory

Seeing Qiu Si being dragged away by her grandmother, Xiao Huai gave the pheasant he was holding to Li Zi. He went up to help Qiu Si, but Li Hongying kicked him away, and he fell hard to the ground.

"Little Locust Tree".

"Little Locust Tree".

Pear and Autumn Thoughts exclaimed in surprise at the same time.

Not wanting the two to worry, Xiao Huai endured the pain and quickly got up from the ground. With a blank expression, she said, "I'm fine."

Pear walked over to Little Locust, looking at him with concern in her eyes. Seeing that Little Locust was covered in dirt, she reached out to help him brush it off, but then noticed that her own hands were still covered in chicken feathers, so she gave up.

Qiu Si was not as strong as Li Hongying to begin with, and because she was worried about Xiao Huai getting distracted, she ended up being dragged along by Li Hongying.

"Let go, I told you to let go!" Li Hongying cursed. "Are you deaf? Can't you hear what I'm saying? Let go of me right now!"

"You bastard who came from who-knows-where. How dare you steal from me! I'll have the brigade leader kick you out of our brigade right now."

Seeing Qiu Si being dragged along and refusing to let go of the wild chicken, Wei Laosan scoffed disdainfully and stepped aside to watch the show with glee.

He didn't need to help; his mother could take the pheasant back by herself.

As soon as they got the pheasant, they put it in a pot to stew, leaving a large chicken leg and some broth for their son, and a chicken wing and some broth for their older brother. The rest of the pheasant meat was shared between him and his mother.

As he thought about it, Wei Laosan swallowed hard.

He hadn't eaten meat in a long time, and he was determined to have some pheasant today. Wei Laosan said, "Kid, I advise you to let go obediently, or you'll regret it."

No sooner had Wei Laosan finished speaking than Li Hongying suddenly released her grip on the pheasant, letting out a scream. "It hurts!"

Qiu Si, who was using all his strength to protect the pheasant, fell backward as Li Hongying suddenly let go. He knew he would fall like Xiao Huai, so he hugged the pheasant tightly.

Close your eyes and wait for the pain to strike.

A sudden tightness gripped his arm, but the expected pain didn't come, and he didn't fall. Qiu Si opened his eyes and saw Wei Jingyuan's tall figure standing beside him.

"Brother Wei," Qiu Si called out instinctively.

Wei Jingyuan didn't speak, but simply pulled Qiu Si behind him. He looked at Li Hongying expressionlessly, "Is it appropriate to snatch things from Grandma right after she came back?"

"Who stole your things? Wei Jingyuan, don't be so rude!" Wei Laosan pointed at Wei Jingyuan and Xiao Huai. "As grandsons, shouldn't you give your grandmother a pheasant as a token of your respect?"

Li Hongying's hand was in too much pain, and she was currently holding it and blowing on it to relieve herself, so she didn't have time to pay attention to it.

"Third Uncle, I need to remind you that we have separated from you." Wei Jingyuan looked at Wei Laosan, his expression revealing a hint of pressure.

Wei Laosan felt uneasy under his gaze, but in order to get some pheasant, he decided to go all out. "So what if we've separated? As long as you're surnamed Wei, we're still family."

“You brought back wild pheasants and didn’t offer them to your elders. When Grandma asked you for them herself, you accused her of stealing them. Do you have any conscience?”

"Wei Jingyuan, you used to be a soldier, and you don't even know how to respect your elders. I think your nearly ten years of military service were all for nothing... umm..."

An unidentified object suddenly flew into his mouth, silencing Wei Laosan's words. His mouth hurt, and his teeth hurt too, from being hit by the unidentified object.

A strange taste filled his mouth. He took it out and looked at it. Wei Laosan's eyes widened in horror. A stone... a stone, as big as a child's fist. No wonder his mouth and teeth hurt; how could it not hurt after being hit by a stone?

"Who is it? Which bastard dares to throw a rock at me?" Wei Laosan cursed angrily, looking around.

He wanted to find the bastard who threw stones at him, throw the stones back, and kill that bastard.

"Of course it's me." Tao Qiuyi didn't look at Wei Laosan, but walked up to Wei Jingyuan. She glared at him, "He keeps babbling on and on in front of you, don't you get annoyed?"

"I find it annoying." Wei Jingyuan certainly found it annoying, but the other party was his third uncle, and he couldn't just take action whenever he wanted like she did.

Wei Laosan decisively lowered his raised hand. This woman was fiercer than a tiger. He couldn't afford to offend her, nor dared to. The bloody lesson had taught him this fact.

Looking at Wei Laosan's pathetic appearance, Wei Jingyuan merely twitched the corner of his lips.

"Tao Qiuyi, you little rascal..." Li Hongying stopped talking so suddenly that she accidentally bit her tongue, wincing in pain.

Watching Tao Qiuyi toss the stone up and catch it as it fell, she had to shut up. Her son's past offenses were a stark reminder of what was to come, and she didn't want to be hit in the face.

Wei Jingyuan still showed some consideration for family ties with them, but Tao Qiuyi showed no such consideration. She truly beat people; her eldest son and youngest grandson are still lying in the town's hospital.

Seeing that Wei Laosan and Li Hongying were both stunned, Tao Qiuyi sighed and said, "Even Xiaoqiang values ​​his life more than you do."

After being disciplined by her so many times, they still dare to cause trouble; they really don't learn their lesson. Turning to the three boys, she said, "Next time someone tries to snatch something from your hands, remember to call me."

The three boys nodded in unison.

Tao Qiuyi walked up to Xiao Huai and said directly, "Show me your hand."

"I'm fine." Xiao Huai not only didn't extend his hand, but even hid it behind his back. Even a fool could see there was something wrong with his hand now; otherwise, why would he hide it?
"Wei Jingyuan." Tao Qiuyi handled the disobedient child very easily, handing him over to Wei Jingyuan.

Wei Jingyuan turned to look at Xiao Huai, his eyes conveying a stern yet unyielding presence.

Under his older brother's imposing gaze, Xiao Huai obediently stretched out his hand, showing his palm to the others, "It's really nothing, I just wiped the ground."

"You've scratched yourself until you're bleeding, and you still say it's nothing?" Qiu Si was the first to rush to Xiao Huai's side. Looking at the few small scratches on his palm, she felt extremely guilty.

Xiao Huai was kicked down by his grandmother in an attempt to help him. It's all because he wasn't strong enough; he couldn't even protect a pheasant.

Tao Qiuyi looked at the two boys speechlessly and methodically assigned tasks to them. "Xiao Huai's hand is injured and he can't get it wet until it recovers."

"Qiu Si and Li Zi, keep plucking the chicken feathers. Wei Jingyuan will come to help you after he finishes the medicine on Xiao Huai's hands. I'm going back to my room to prepare the medicine. Don't bother me unless it's absolutely necessary. Just call me when the food is ready."

After giving her instructions, Tao Qiuyi turned and walked towards the house.

The moment the door closed, the four of them immediately went about their own business. Qiu Si and Li Zi returned to the wall to continue plucking chicken feathers, while Xiao Huai followed his older brother into the adjacent room.

Li Hongying and Wei Laosan, who remained where they were, looked at each other, with only one thought in their minds: these four people are really obedient.

Seeing the pheasants in Qiu Si and Li Zi's hands, Wei Laosan pounded his chest and stamped his feet in frustration. If it weren't for the pain in his mouth reminding him, he would have rushed over and snatched the pheasants without a second thought.

It's been so long... so long since I've had meat.

Wei Laosan was craving meat, and so was Li Hongying; otherwise, they wouldn't have risked their reputation to snatch a pheasant, only to fail to do so.
