Back to the Eighties: Mountain Foraging is Also a Way of Life

Chapter 947: The World's Best Daughter-in-Law

This chapter is machine-translated by AI, with ongoing community review. Quality may vary between chapters.

Wang An saw Wang Li's fidgety appearance and originally wanted to scold him a few more times, but in the end, Wang An still chose to keep his mouth shut.

Mainly because Wang Li was currently in high spirits, and Wang An really didn't want to rain on his parade.

After Wang Li grabbed the keys, Wang An thought for a moment and followed him out to catch fish in the vat.

Of the half-dead fish previously put in the vat, some had recovered and were now lively and jumping about, but there were also some floating belly-up, completely done for.

Fortunately, since these dead fish hadn't been dead for long, it didn't affect eating them at all.

He caught quite a few for both Li Xiuyu's family and Mu Xueli's family, and also put the three softshell turtles onto the sidecar. Only then did Wang Li ride off on the sidecar motorcycle.

But Wang Li hadn't gone five meters before he suddenly braked to a stop right there.

Wang Li turned back and said to Wang An

"Fourth Brother, help me find those bullets for the homemade shotgun, will ya?"

Wang An was stunned for a moment, then glared fiercely at Wang Li and said

"You think of everything, don't you? Wait a bit."

As he spoke, Wang An turned and walked into the house.

But just as Wang An reached the doorway, he heard Wang Li shout from behind

"Fourth Brother, don't take too many. Just get me 10 rounds for now."

Wang An paused, then walked into the house without looking back.

Actually, it was entirely understandable that Li Xiuyu had bewitched Wang Li so thoroughly.

Mainly because Li Xiuyu's looks, even in Wang An's eyes, were remarkably pleasing to the eye.

Honestly, if he hadn't seen Li Xiuyu in person, Wang An never would have imagined that besides Mu Xueqing, there was actually such a pretty local girl in the nearby village.

The reason for emphasizing "local" was because people like the Fang Xiue sisters and Shen Wei were all educated youths from outside, not native locals.

You have to understand, in this era, beauties were very hard to discover. Many women who were naturally good-looking ended up malnourished from not having enough to eat, leaving them with zero aesthetic appeal.

So the beauties of this era were absolutely the real deal, able to withstand the test of time.

Wang An kept 10 rounds for his own homemade shotgun, just in case the gun became useless, and directly handed the small bag containing the shotgun shells and casings to Wang Li, saying

"The bullets and casings are all in here. You pick what you need."

These bullets included both slugs and shot. They were what Wang An had looted from those three bandits back when he was first reborn.

After Wang Li consumed some during his initial period of learning to hunt, there weren't many bullets left—only about twenty or thirty rounds. But there were plenty of casings, a whole big pile.

Wang Li happily took the small bag and started rummaging through it.

In the end, Wang Li took 9 bullets and 12 casings, put them in his satchel, returned the bag to Wang An, and said with a grin

"Fourth Brother, just toss this bag on your sofa. I'll pick it up when I head home in a few days."

Wang An took the bag, gave Wang Li a sidelong glance, and said

"Alright, hurry up and scram."

Just as Wang An entered the house, he heard Mu Xueqing call out

"Xiao An, hurry up and help take the dishes to Shen Wei's place."

Ever since Wang An's family started building the house, Shen Wei had been helping them with the work, so her own family had barely cooked a few meals. At most, she just reheated rice and dishes.

Sometimes Shen Wei and Xiao Lai Zi would eat at Wang An's place, and then Shen Wei would bring some back for her mother-in-law. Sometimes Shen Wei would bring all her family's rice and dishes back to eat there.

So if there were a lot of dishes, they needed help delivering them. After all, mixing all the dishes together really wasn't great—perfectly good dishes would end up tasting weird mixed together.

Hearing Mu Xueqing's instruction, Wang An casually agreed

"Yeah, got it."

As he spoke, Wang An walked toward Shen Wei's house, carrying a small bowl of dishes in each hand, while Shen Wei followed close behind, carrying a small rice basin in one hand and a plate of dishes in the other.

Worth mentioning is that neither the dishes Wang An carried nor the ones Shen Wei carried were leftovers. They were portions set aside before the meal.

In Liu Guilan's words, the old lady (Shen Wei's mother-in-law) was of such an advanced age; letting her eat leftovers every meal—what kind of thing would that be?

One must say, in this regard, Liu Guilan handled things very properly.

In a short while, Wang An and Shen Wei arrived at Shen Wei's house together.

Wang An chatted briefly with Shen Wei's mother-in-law, teased Xiao Lai Zi for a bit, and then headed home.

But just as Shen Wei was seeing Wang An out to the courtyard, she suddenly grabbed his sleeve.

Wang An subconsciously turned his head and saw Shen Wei looking at him with eyes full of springtime allure, staring straight at him.

Wang An's heart stirred. He directly scooped Shen Wei up by the waist and walked toward the side room of her house.

The moment he held her, Wang An felt that the current Shen Wei had changed quite a bit from before.

This change was mainly reflected in the fact that, touching Shen Wei through her clothes now, he could clearly feel she had flesh on her body. The feel was much better than before.

Upon entering the side room, Wang An directly placed Shen Wei on the kang.

By the time Wang An turned back after bolting the door, Shen Wei had already become spotless.

From top to bottom, especially clean—simply immaculate, white all over, not a trace of... that.

Her already large "white snowballs" also seemed even bigger than before.

Of course, Wang An wasn't sure about this; it might just be a visual illusion.

Ever since Wang An's family started building the house, the number of times he and Shen Wei had "fooled around" could be counted on one hand.

Of course, it wasn't that Shen Wei and Wang An didn't want to. Mainly, there were just no opportunities to "fool around."

In short order, Wang An and Shen Wei ended up in the same state.

But although their states were the same, their skin tones were different—one was white, the other a bronze color.

Then Wang An also got on the kang.

Just like that, two colors with zero disharmony stuck together, looking incredibly satisfying.

Yeah, damn satisfying.

When Wang An came out of Shen Wei's house, it was already past 1 PM.

And when Wang An sneakily slipped back into the room belonging to him and Mu Xueqing, the napping Mu Xueqing suddenly opened her eyes.

Wang An gave an embarrassed smile, about to speak, when he saw Mu Xueqing say with a face full of amusement

"Feel better now?"

Wang An was stunned, then understood why Mu Xueqing had made him deliver dishes to Shen Wei.

His wife was absolutely the best wife in the world!

No exaggeration—a wife like Mu Xueqing was absolutely the dream of every man under heaven!

So Wang An honestly nodded and said

"Not bad. Still, none of them compare to you."
