When Zhao Xiu, Li Xiaoqing, and Luo Ziyang returned, they happened to see this scene.

“It smells so good. Who would have thought that these pups would get to eat it first?!” Zhao Xiu teased as she walked in.

Li Shun, who was making furniture in the house, heard his wife’s voice and replied, “They deserve to eat it! Don’t you know that these fish were caught by these few pups?!”

Although Li Shun had been focused on making furniture, he knew what was happening outside.

“Big Yellow and the others fished them out?” Li Xiaoqing asked in surprise.

“Even if Big Yellow and the others caught them, there’s nothing strange about it! Every once in a while, Big Yellow would bring a few dogs to the cold cave to fish. Every time, they would be taught a lesson by my brother. But, the next time Big Yellow and the others wanted to eat fish, they would run over to catch fish again!” Luo Ziyang thought of something and explained with a smile, “Look, the small fish that Big Yellow and the others are eating now belong to them exclusively.”

When Li Xiaoran heard her mother and sister’s voices outside, she shouted at the top of her lungs.

“Mother, come over and help fry the little fish!”

Zhao Xiu smiled and went to get water to wash her hands.

After walking into the kitchen, Zhao Xiu took over frying the fish, while Li Xiaoran went to prepare dinner for everyone.

Because Elder Xu was around, Li Xiaoran thought for a moment and went to get the meat.

“Sister, Mother and I found a lot of fresh chives on the way back today. Do you want to cook them tonight?” Li Xiaoqing took out the basket of chives she was carrying and asked.

“Yes, I’ll make meat soup! The weather is cold today. Let’s make a pot of meat soup to warm up our bodies!” Li Xiaoran nodded and replied.

When Li Xiaoqing heard this, she quickly took the chives out to wash.

Luo Ziyang also walked over to wash up with Li Xiaoqing.

After all, washing chives was a very time- and energy-consuming job. It would be much more efficient if two people did it together.

Luo Cheng didn’t stay idle. He took out the rice and washed it three times before putting it on the small stove to cook a pot of rice. historical

Li Xiaoran cut a large basin of meat, then began to put seasoning and sweet potato powder in.

After the preparations were done, Li Xiaoran boiled another large pot.

After the fish slices and fish bones had already been seasoned, Li Xiaoran started cooking fish.

She originally wanted to make pickled fish, but the pickled vegetables had been made shortly before and hadn’t been marinated yet, so she could only continue boiling fish.

After the fish was cooked, Li Xiaoran made a pot of chives and meat soup. Finally, she stir-fried a large plate with cabbage and vegetables. Dinner was ready.

Although there weren’t many dishes, there was enough!

Elder Xu was also a big eater and liked the three dishes Li Xiaoran made today.

The chives and meat soup was light and nutritious. The boiled fish was spicy and fresh. The stir-fried cabbage dish was crispy and delicious.

At the end, all three dishes were eaten.

Even the meat soup used to boil the fish was drunk by everyone. If they soaked the rice in it, they could eat several bowls of it.

The big fish caught in the cold cave didn’t have many bones. There was only one main bone, so be it adults, children, or elders, they weren’t afraid of choking on fish bones.

After dinner, Luo Cheng called Luo Ziyang to the study.

Elder Xu had followed them around a few times today and was shocked by

Daniu’s appearance, so he was already tired.

After washing up early, Elder Xu went to bed to rest.

After Li Xiaoran and her family cleaned up the kitchen and dining table, they also washed up and went to rest.

When she passed by Luo Cheng’s room and saw that the oil lamp was still lit, Li

Xiaoran thought of something and reminded, “Husband, don’t forget to feed Big Yellow medicine! ”

Luo Cheng and Luo Ziyang were discussing the arrangement of the people on the barren mountain when they heard Li Xiaoran’s voice.

“I’ve already fed Big Yellow medicine after dinner! You should go to bed!”

When Li Xiaoran heard that Big Yellow had already taken the medicine, she was relieved. Then, she yawned and went to sleep.

After Li Xiaoran left, Luo Cheng looked at Luo Ziyang.

“The situation is unclear now. I don’t know who’s setting me up, but we still have to be vigilant. Previously, I thought that I could avoid those troubles after leaving that place, but those people are actually unwilling to let me off the hook. In that case, it’s time for us to expand our power! Now that I have people

I want to protect, I can’t let them get harmed because of me.”

Luo Ziyang’s eyes lit up when he heard Luo Cheng’s words.

“Brother, you should have done this long ago! The more compromising we are, the more arrogant those people will be. In my opinion, we should expand our power and teach those people a lesson. Otherwise, those people will think that you’re a pushover. Everyone will try to bully you!”

Luo Cheng had also figured it out, so his thoughts were different now.

“You’re right. Men have to be powerful enough to protect our families. Previously, I was alone, so it didn’t matter, but it’s different now! Ziyang! To be honest, I could predict our lives in the past, so I felt that it didn’t matter! But ever since your sister-in-law came, I felt that my life has gained meaning and I have something to look forward to. It feels completely different!”

“Brother, that was how I felt in the past as well! In the past, I had no family and was free to follow you wherever you went. But now, it’s different. I have my parents, my sister, you, and sister-in-law! I feel fulfilled. I feel that I’m no longer alone!” Luo Ziyang said with some emotion.

“Alright! You and I will work hard together to live a better life in the future!” When Luo Cheng heard Luo Ziyang’s words, he said in high spirits, “If anyone dares to stop us from living a good life, we’ll make sure they never return!” Luo Ziyang nodded. Then, he thought of something and became agitated.

“You’re right! We should beat these people up so that they won’t dare to provoke us again! By the way, what should we do about Daniu? We can’t keep him locked up at home, right?”

Luo Cheng thought for a moment and said, “Perhaps this person will be of great use to us. However, it’s not suitable for him to stay here. We have to find another place to settle him down!”

“Then can’t we just send him to the barren mountain? There are many people there, and they need more manpower. It’s free labor. It’s a waste not to use him!” Luo Ziyang said.

Luo Cheng thought about it carefully and finally nodded.. Then, he lowered his voice and whispered something to Luo Ziyang..
