Yuanchun had just gotten up and was squatting outside brushing her teeth when Xiangqing came out holding a mug, squatted down beside her, and asked, "Yuanchun, when did you get back last night? I couldn't find you after knocking off work, and someone said you went up the mountain. You weren't back for dinner either."
After brushing her teeth, Yuanchun took two mouthfuls of water to rinse her mouth and wash away the taste of toothpaste before replying, "I ran into Brother Songcheng on the mountain yesterday. The two of us caught a rabbit together, and Grandma Song made spicy rabbit meat. I had dinner at the Song family's place last night."
There were quite a few pheasants and hares in the back mountain of the village, and the villagers often managed to catch one or two. The production team cadres didn't mind that, but if someone killed a wild boar, wild sheep, or red deer, it had to be handed over to the production team, and the cadres would organize the whole village to divide the meat.
