CHAPTER 31: CHAPTER 31: YOU FINALLY CALLED ME SECOND BROTHER

EDITOR: CTCTRANS

When Shen Qinglan arrived at the river, many women were washing clothes, while Shen Shan and others were processing game on the shore.

Shen Tang, Shen Qing’an, and Shen Qingfeng were also there.

Shen Qingping, Shen Qingzhu, and Shen Qing’an were responsible for plucking fur, Shen Tang and Shen Shan handled gutting, and Shen Qingfeng fetched water for washing the processed game.

A small fire was burning beside them, used for burning off the fur of the game.

"Third Sister!"

Shen Qingping raised his head and saw Shen Qinglan walking towards them from afar, quickly waved and shouted.

The others turned their heads, recognized Shen Qinglan, and cheerfully invited her over.

Shen Qinglan ignored the surprised or curious glances from others and quickly approached them.

Shen Shan looked at her and said, "It’s scorching, why did you come here?"

Shen Qinglan crouched down, took a piece of game, and said, "Come to help."

Shen Tang said, "There are lots of people here, we’ll finish soon. Qinglan, if you feel it’s too hot, you can go back first."

Shen Qinglan shook her head and looked at Shen Tang, saying, "Third Uncle, let me."

Shen Tang refused outright, "No way, this knife is newly bought, very sharp, getting cut is not a joke."

Shen Qinglan heard this but insisted, "Let me."

"Alright then, be careful, Third Uncle will fetch water,"

Shen Tang, helplessly, handed her the knife.

Shen Qinglan took the knife, twirled it in her hand a few times, got accustomed to it, and then started to work.

She took a fur-stripped rabbit, swiftly made a cut, and split it open to remove the guts, her movements smooth and agile.

In no time, the game was almost completely gutted.

Shen Qingzhu said, "Third Sister, you’re so quick, and you split it open in just one cut each time. Look at Third Uncle and Dad, they need to hack several times."

Shen Shan glared at him but couldn’t help admitting that his daughter’s game-processing skills were indeed quick and beautiful.

In her past life, Shen Qinglan attended anatomy classes arranged by her eldest family member, dissecting both animals and cadavers.

However, this knife wasn’t anywhere close to a scalpel.

After cleaning off all the game and extinguishing the fire, the Shen Family members stood up and prepared to go home.

On the way, Shen Qingfeng said to Shen Qingzhu, "I saw your Uncle Wei came back today, after we return, go call him over, also bring along your Grandpa Li."

Shen Qingzhu said, "Actually, Uncle Wei came back yesterday."

Of course, Shen Qingzhu didn’t intend to tell Shen Qingfeng about Li Wei asking him to deliver a gift to Shen Qingju.

Shen Qingfeng replied, "Really? I just passed by his house and saw him and Grandpa Li weeding in the yard, thought he came back today."

Shen Qinglan said, "I’ll go with Second Brother."

She was quite curious to see what this future brother-in-law was like.

Upon hearing this, Shen Qingzhu teared up instantly, looked at Shen Qinglan, and said, "Third Sister, you finally called me Second Brother!"

Shen Qinglan: ...

Previously it felt awkward, as her actual age was older than the Shen family’s kids.

But after spending time with them, hearing Dong Yao call either "Big Sister" or "Second Brother," or "Little Brother" frequently, she eventually took it in naturally.

Shen Qingfeng nodded, "Alright, I’ll take care of cooking. Can’t let Qingju mess up this good stuff."

Upon hearing this, Shen Qinglan’s mouth curved imperceptibly; so she wasn’t the only one who didn’t dare let Shen Qingju cook.

Shen Shan said, "Go and return quickly, if Grandpa Li isn’t willing to come, tell him Grandpa is also there."

Shen Qingzhu nodded, pulled Shen Qinglan, and left first.
