Joyful Motherhood in a Rural Family

Chapter 281:? Chapter 279: Another Mom

Due to the darkness inside, it was impossible to see the figure clearly.

Liu Sisi instinctively called out, “Ah-Huang and Ah-Hua!”

But the two alert hounds didn’t respond at all!

Subconsciously, Liu Sisi walked a few steps closer to the doghouse, only to find it empty with no trace of the two hounds!

Pitter-patter!

The jujube red horse suddenly neighed impatiently, pacing restlessly.

Looking at the dark figure, it seemed not very tall, and it seemed to be a woman. Liu Sisi mustered up her courage, carefully circled around the jujube red horse, and slowly approached the figure…..

The figure seemed to sense someone coming in and suddenly moved, startling Liu Sisi!

She immediately retreated a few steps, almost getting her foot stepped on by the jujube red horse’s hoof, but fortunately, she dodged in time!

Leaning against the wooden railing on the edge of the stable, Liu Sisi patted her chest, still shaken, and realized that the person had changed positions and was now slumped in the corner of the wall, seemingly deep asleep.

She took a closer look and, gathering her courage, approached the figure again.

“Hey! Who are you? How did you get into my home?”

Liu Sisi called out softly.

The other party slept soundly without any response.

Liu Sisi repeated her words, but the other party still didn’t react.

“Hey! Can’t you hear me talking?”

She couldn’t help but raise her voice.

The other party seemed to be in discomfort, shifting their head and groaning softly, but still not answering.

Liu Sisi was starting to get angry!

She thought this might be someone who sneaked in to steal the horse but got injured by the jujube red horse and couldn’t move, so they hid in here.

With that in mind, she immediately became furious.

“Hey! You horse thief, why don’t you speak up? If you don’t talk, I’ll call someone to tie you up and send you to the authorities!”

Stealing a government-owned horse could result in at least two years of imprisonment, which no ordinary person would want to go through.

It seemed like the other party was determined not to talk to Liu Sisi and didn’t say a word.

Liu Sisi grew angrier!

She reached out and yanked at his clothes, “Hey! Why won’t you talk? Don’t think you can just play dead…”

Before she could finish speaking, the other party suddenly fell towards her……

“Hey, hey, hey! — What are you doing? Move away! Believe it or not, I’ll tie you up right now and… Huh?”

Before she could finish speaking, she met the gaze of a familiar face!

Her words got stuck in her throat, and her eyes widened as she stared at the face, a face she seemed to have seen somewhere before.

She couldn’t help but reach out a trembling hand, slowly touching the face in front of her.

Brushing aside the messy hair on her face, Liu Sisi was instantly stunned by the face before her and fell to the ground with a thud!

She seemed unable to breathe, but after a moment, she suddenly caught her breath and couldn’t contain her shock any longer. She screamed out loud.

“Ah! ——”

A flurry of footsteps came from the inner room…

Early this morning, Di Yelei sneaked off to the mountain.

Although the heavy snow had sealed off the mountain, he could move freely since he was familiar with the terrain.

Even though the two hounds seldom went hunting, they had a natural instinct, and after hunting a few times with Di Yelei, they could cooperate well and move freely.

At the moment, Ah-Huang and Ah-Hua were only nine months old, but they were already as big as ordinary adult dogs, weighing around 44 to 55 pounds. They not only looked strong and majestic, but their glossy and dense fur provided them with the best warmth, so they could enjoy themselves in the snow without being affected by the cold.

Walking in the snowy mountains was a technical task, but it couldn’t stop Di Yelei’s pace at all.

This year’s heavy snow seemed to be thicker than any other year, with the thick layer of accumulated snow reaching up to his knees. In his memory, the deepest snow in previous years only reached his calves.

He climbed several large mountains in a row, and the harvest was particularly rich; a large pile of game piled on the simple sled he dragged behind him.

Many unprepared animals were forced to come out and forage due to the severe cold, but a considerable number were also trapped by the heavy snow.

Looking back at the game on the sled, he felt very satisfied as he hurried home.

The two hounds couldn’t help but frolic, panting heavily, and barking from time to time.

When he passed by the place where he usually set traps, he took a detour and searched, eventually finding a few more game animals that had been frozen stiff in the traps.

Most importantly, he discovered numerous adult wild boar footprints around the traps and found a piglet in one of the traps.

The piglet had only suffered a few minor injuries but was quite strong. Judging from the traces on the edge of the trap, the boar family must have been starving before they went out foraging. The piglet had accidentally fallen into the trap, and after the adult wild boars’ failed rescue attempt, they had reluctantly left.

It took him quite a bit of effort to lift the piglet out of the trap and directly throw it onto the sled.

Although it was just a piglet, it weighed dozens of pounds. Today could really be considered a great harvest!

Just as he was dragging the sled back home, he suddenly heard Ah-Hua barking wildly. Di Yelei looked up and saw Ah-Hua uprooting a turkey from the snow like pulling up a radish and, wagging its tail, running towards him.

Di Yelei was delighted!

“Ah-Hua, well done!”

He took the turkey from Ah-Hua’s mouth, tied it up, and put it on the sled, then patted Ah-Hua’s head to encourage her before heading back home.

By the time he reached home, the day had darkened.

Looking at the chimney with cooking smoke coming out, he felt uneasy. Did Sisi know that he had gone up the mountain? Would she be angry when she saw him return?

Feeling anxious, he hesitated to enter the door but couldn’t stop the two hounds from barking and wagging their tails for their accomplishments.

There was no sound inside.

Di Yelei dragged the sled into the courtyard, and immediately heard the long snorting sound of the jujube red horse.

“Sisi, Sisi, I’m back!”

Di Yelei spoke while unloading the game from the sled, intending to take it to the kitchen.

Along with his voice, Ah-Huang and Ah-Hua barked happily, wagging their tails.

In the house, there was suddenly a burst of footsteps. Xuan’er, with a panicked face, rushed out of the room. Seeing Di Yelei, she hurriedly trotted over.

“Dad! Something happened at home! Mom…Mom went to find Mr. Land Officer!”

Di Yelei was startled, subconsciously stopping the work in his hands: “Why did your mother go to find Mr. Land Officer?”

Could it be that something had happened at the old house again? Or was she angry that he had secretly gone to the mountain and went to Uncle Land Officer to complain?

Di Xuan stomped anxiously: “No, it’s not that. It’s another mom, that mom! …”
