Xue Yue put down the firewood and poured the wood ear mushrooms from her basket.
Mrs. He saw them and came over. "These wood ear mushrooms look good."
Xue Yue said to Mrs. He, "Mom, I brought back a wild rabbit from my family's home yesterday. My older brother caught it. You and Dad don't need to cook lunch today, just come eat with us!"
Mrs. He waved her hand. "No need. You two go ahead and eat it."
"Mom, that rabbit's quite plump, the two of us can't finish it. You and Dad should join us. You'll just have to bring some radishes over. I'll cut up some potatoes and the radishes, add the wood ear I picked, and we can make a red-braised stew. That'll be plenty for everyone."
"Alright, then. I'll bring over the cornbread buns I steamed this morning. That'll save you the trouble of making any."
He Lang asked Xue Yue, "Did your big brother go hunting in the mountains?"
