Chapter 110 The second uncle who eats everything out
(The whole family celebrates the reunion, happy holidays)
The second aunt held Zhu Xuefeng’s hand with light in her eyes.
"This silly kid, bringing everything all the way, all belongs to his own family. Don't talk about these things. It's good if you can come. It's good if you can come. Is your family okay? The two little guys didn't come?"
"Okay, okay, let's go into the house and say that my nephew has ridden so far by himself. Let him rest for a while."
Erya, his brother and his younger brother are surrounding the motorcycle. Surprisingly, the courtyard door was pushed open after a while, and a group of children gathered around.
"This belongs to my eldest brother. Don't touch it. Your family can't afford to pay for it if it's damaged."
Zhu Xuefeng looked back with a smile and didn't care. Tie Qiaoda wasn't that delicate.
The second aunt let go of her hand and wiped her tears. Only then did Zhu Xuefeng pick up a few bags and packages and follow his second uncle into the main room.
The yard of the second uncle's house is not large. Because it is built against the mountain, the layout is a bit messy. There are only two main rooms in the yard. One room is where the second uncle and two aunts live, and the other room is used as the main room. The living room is where the family eats.
There is only a wing on one side, which is only one big room. It is too small to be divided into two rooms. The foundation is made of stones on the slope. The amount of work is huge. The family spent two years building the foundation.
On the other side, a small kitchen was built according to local conditions. Now I just boil some water. I don’t have a fire at home. There is a chicken coop a few meters away. It is also made of stones and branches. The door is weighed down with stones. Dead grass.
At this moment, the whole family gathered around Zhu Xuefeng, listening to Zhu Xuefeng's talk about the situation at home. Hearing that his younger brothers and sisters were taking extra lessons, and that the house at home had also begun to be renovated, the second aunt felt relieved.
Who will renovate the house if they can't survive? The second uncle saw it last time and was basically relieved. Time was too tight and I didn't bother to learn more about it, so I went back to the village. Now I am completely relieved. This big My nephew is quite capable.
Zhu Xuefeng asked again about the renovation situation in the village. It is similar to Qianshan. The rabbits here are even harder to catch. They have also raised earthworms and planted oil sunflowers. They have to look for opportunities to plant other things. I will see in a while. No effect.
The report of raising chickens in the village was made, but there was no news for so long, and the village did not dare to move.
The water conservancy facilities were not implemented either. The village could not get cement, and piling stones could not stop the stream. Zhu Xuefeng did not consider this.
When the boiled glutinous rice porridge was ready, Zhu Xuefeng took some steamed buns with two noodles. The second uncle and the second aunt cut some pickles and ate some with Zhu Xuefeng. It was impossible to cook. The iron pot It’s all gone, and everyone knows why.
Now everyone is required to eat in the canteen, and there is no food or food at home. Zhu Xuefeng pointed to a big bag.
"Second Uncle, here is some rice and two pieces of wild boar meat, which have been pickled. Keep it for yourself."
As soon as she mentioned rice, her second aunt glared at her second uncle. Zhu Xuefeng estimated that all the rice he brought back last time had been confiscated, so he shook his head helplessly.
There is no iron pot, so we can't stir-fry. We can only stew in a casserole or earthen pot. This is something that the second uncle's family has to figure out.
Kneel down again, open a small package and hand it to Zhu Yonghua.
"Fourth, this is for you and your younger brothers and sisters. Take good care of it and don't lose it."
Fourth is the eldest son of the second uncle's family, a few younger than Zhu Xuemei. Yue, can only be ranked fourth.
The fourth child opened it and saw that it was all candies, and nodded happily.
"Thank you, brother."
He took his younger siblings and ran away without waiting for his parents to say anything. The second uncle and second aunt both had half a steamed bun and chopsticks in their hands, and there was nothing they could do to stop him. , paused for a moment, and then let them go.
“Why did you get wild boars when you were in the city?”
The second uncle was also very surprised. He was in the mountains and couldn’t touch wild boars, but his nephew brought wild boars from the city. Pork is a bit reversed.
Zhu Xuefeng didn't think much about it. He just said that he caught a wild boar with a hemp net and sold it to the steel rolling mill at a high price, so he was not short of money now. Hearing his second uncle and aunt's eyes froze, they could still catch wild boars like this.
"Our mountain is bigger, and there are more beasts in it, but we can't do anything about it. If this method works, hey..."
The second uncle punched his thigh excitedly and stood up I got up and finished the remaining steamed buns in a few bites. "I'll go find the village chief. It's better now." The second uncle left happily. Only the second aunt looked at Zhu Xuefeng in embarrassment.
"My eldest nephew, Uncle Qi is such a person. He is very lively. It was the same last time. He made two trips to the city. When he came back, I asked you about your situation and it was all over in a few words. When it comes to Niu Cun, he is very clear-headed, as if he did it, don’t be surprised.”
How can I be surprised, but I feel more clearly the strength of self-reliance, and the desire to not let go of every development. The desire for opportunity is the epitome of millions of people in this era.
"It's okay, Second Aunt, if there are really many wild animals here, maybe the village can have a good year this year."
I pretended to rummage in the bag and took out the big net , it's a big ball, throw it aside, it will probably be used in a while.
After a while, the village chief, village party secretary and militia captain came and briefly introduced each other. Zhu Xuefeng explained again how to catch wild animals, and also picked up the net for everyone to pull and try. You can't break it even if you try a wild boar.
“Is this really possible? Is it really effective? Just wait in a puddle and wait, is that simple?”
"It won't work if it's close. The wild beasts won't come. It won't work if it's far away. You can't enter the ambush site. Everyone has more experience in this than me."
Of course, there is water in the mountains flowing down along the creek. Whether the beast will find a puddle to drink depends on luck.
Zhu Xuefeng had some impressions of the terrain in the mountain. The water flowed all the way down the valley. Not far from the mountain, there were several larger puddles. There seemed to be big rocks dozens of meters away, and thousands of mountains. The environment is completely different, and trapping is much more difficult.
It's just that the time is several decades earlier, so it's unclear what the situation in the valley is now. Whether they can find a suitable trapping place depends on their luck.
A few people still couldn't believe it, and Zhu Xuefeng couldn't explain or prove it. It was the second uncle who brought out the wild boar meat that made them believe it and said they would try it tomorrow and took the net with them.
The second aunt glared at the second uncle fiercely. Such a large piece of wild boar meat was enough to be eaten secretly for a long time. It is probably gone now. It will have to be eliminated in the big cafeteria tomorrow.
The second uncle understood the second aunt’s little thoughts and was not angry.
“You old bitch, you are playing with the handle of a spoon, you have long hair and short knowledge, and you have the methods of a big nephew. This little pork is nothing. When the time comes, there will be too much wild boar meat, and it will choke you to death.”
On the contrary, Zhu Xuefeng was left to dry. The two elders could not speak, so they had to pretend to be looking for something, took out the dried seafood and put it on the table.
“Second Uncle, I brought this seafood for you too. I can’t teach you how to catch seafood.”
The second uncle scratched his head in embarrassment. He couldn't quarrel with his eldest nephew anymore. Zhu Xuefeng pointed to several other bags.
“Don’t give away what you keep for Third Aunt.”
I didn’t bring much originally, but I just wanted to help the second uncle and Third Aunt as much as possible, so I wanted to give them all away. If the person is handed over, Zhu Xuefeng's escape will be in vain.
Each family has twenty kilograms of rice, five kilograms of wild boar, five kilograms of seafood, and half a kilogram of candy. This is a lot. If there is any more, I can’t even afford a small motorcycle.
The second uncle and second aunt didn't hesitate any longer, and the three of them chatted together for a while. Seeing that Zhu Xuefeng was running around for a day, he was probably exhausted, so he asked him to rest early and left.
Zhu Xuefeng kept walking in the yard for a while. He was really tired and took a rest early.
At dawn the next day, Zhu Xuefeng opened his eyes in a daze, and there were three little heads in front of him. He looked at the time, it was almost eight o'clock, he was too sleepy, and who was there? After more than eight hours of bumpy driving on the broken road, I had to take a good rest.
The three younger brothers and sisters all looked at their elder brother with wide eyes.
Erya is holding up a candy, and there should be one in his mouth.
"Brother, wake up and give you some candy. It's so sweet!"
Zhu Xuefeng took it, peeled it open, and put it in his mouth.
"Xiao Wu is right, it's so sweet."
