. ‘ Shao Yunduan smiled. “Cousin seems okay. The second section of the family is lucky to have her. She can control them.”
Qiao Xuan nodded and said, “Yeah. We just need to talk sense with her and any matter can be solved!”
But Second Aunt and Second Uncle would get really annoyed because of her existence. Qiao Xuan admired her cousin deeply.
If she had been married to a family like that, she would have run away…
Early in the morning, Ms. Yan showed up.
The first section of the family had already made buns the night before and steamed them the following day. It was still cold enough to keep them from turning rancid overnight.
They made sauerkraut, winter bamboo shoots with smoked meat diced stuffing, and vermicelli egg stuffing. They also steamed a lot of flower rolls with chopped green onions, and white flour steamed buns to take along for

Ms. Yan shared breakfast with the rest of the family and left before dawn just broke.
They felt so happy to be in the mountains, which they had not been to in a long while.
In this cold spring, the mountains were still green. The trees had not yet grown leaves, and the dead grass had also not yet grown new leaves.
But the bare branches were already densely covered with buds with a layer of cuticle. As they gently pushed away the withered grass, they could see the tender yellow buds. After just a few days, the spring breeze would blow, and the buds would bloom overnight. That would be a sight of vitality and greenery.
Qiao Xuan’s inner superpower was sensing the world outside. It was moving, accumulating power and was ready to burst out.
Everyone was talking excitedly.
There were no wild vegetables to pick. So, they picked some yams.
Qi was put on the task to do the hunting.
As always, he was very skillful. He pulled the bow and always hit the targets.
Yang Xiaoni and Taotao as well as Shao Sanlang all cheered. They went up to pick the hunted animals.
It was the first time for Ms. Yan to watch such a scene. She was startled.
Qi was so good with bows and arrows. Honestly, with him around, the first section of the family would enjoy a good life for the rest of the days.
Moreover, Shao Yunduan had become a Cultivated Talent and Qiao Xuan was from a family of officials.
Ms. Yan was in awe of Qi and found that her in-laws were totally stupid in their heads.
She was going to tell her husband not to talk ill about the first section of the family, or be calculative with them.
They harvested a lot after half a day.
They had dozens of wild roosters, rabbits, grouses and pigeons.
Qiao Xuan had seasoning spices with her, so they could eat roasted wild roosters and rabbits.
As the sun shone upon them, wind blew by. It was not so cold there. Once the fire was lit, they felt nothing but warmth.
They chose to start the fire close to the water source. They removed the skin and fur of the animals and soon put the wild rooster and wild rabbit into the bamboo and placed them over the fire.
They had good control of the heat, and put salt, homemade five-spice powder on top of them. They spread honey twice in the middle, and finally sprinkled chili powder on the skin. It looked like the skin was crispy and the meat was tender, especially delicious.
Ms. Yan was not a foodie. But she could not help feeling attracted to the food.
Yang Xiaoni and Shao Sanlang could not wait to have a bite.
The texture was crispy and it smelled fragrant. The roasting was well done and people just could not stop wanting to devour all of it..
