Chapter 18 Humanity and Sophistication


Chapter 18: Humanity and the Sophistication of the World

Under the dim oil lamp, there was a bowl of big ballast porridge and a plate of pickles on the dining table.

This is Grandma Li’s dinner.

“Why are you still making dumplings when it’s such a bad year! Your dad has injured his leg and life at home is tense. Every time he cooks something delicious, he always thinks of me, an old woman!” Grandma Li He looked at Yue Feng kindly and said quietly.

“This is the noodles and meat I bought when I went to the city to sell game. It’s just come out of the pot, you can try it!”

"Okay! Okay!" The old lady took the dumplings, put them on the lid of the pot, and returned the empty bowl to Yue Feng.

"You can eat, and don't leave the house to see me off! I'm leaving first!"

......

At any rate, Grandma Li sent Yue Feng to the door. The old lady closed the courtyard door and then turned back to the house.

There are only a few steps to go home, but Yue Feng thinks a lot.

In his previous life, after Yue Feng got married, he went to a forest farm to work odd jobs in the winter. When he came back during the Chinese New Year, he heard from his wife that Grandma Li's second son had taken the old lady to the city to enjoy her life. According to the current timeline, it should be at least four or five years away.

The Li family has paid too much for the country. Until there is news about her son, please help her as much as you can! Yue Feng thought secretly in his heart.

When Yue Feng returned to his own home after delivering dumplings to Grandma Li’s house, the three members of the family didn’t even use their chopsticks. The youngest was drooling from her mouth, but she couldn’t bear to move her chopsticks.

"You can just eat first, you don't have to wait for me!" Yue Feng scratched his head, feeling a little touched.

Meng Yulan smiled and said: "That won't work. I earned these dumplings today. I have to wait for you to come back before I can use the chopsticks!"

"Okay, okay, I'm back, eat quickly! You see Jingjing is so greedy, wipe your saliva!" Yue Feng picked up the towel and wiped his sister lovingly.

After receiving the permission, the little girl quickly picked up a dumpling and took a bite.

After the dumplings were left to dry for a few minutes, they were no longer hot to the mouth. The little girl took a bite and her eyes narrowed into the shape of a crescent moon with satisfaction.

Yue Feng also picked up a dumpling with chopsticks and stuffed it into his mouth. The refreshing aroma of cabbage mixed with the aroma of pork fat exploded in his mouth. It was indeed more delicious than pickled steamed buns.

Yue Feng made a fool of himself by eating cold steamed buns on the mountain at noon. He was already hungry, so he was not polite at the moment. The family of four ate up a whole large curtain of dumplings like a storm.

Especially the most greedy youngest, Jingjing, had a small belly that was filled with 14 dumplings. After eating the dumplings, her belly was round.

After eating the dumplings, Yue Feng carried a flying dragon and two half-roasted chickens to the house of his neighbor, old brother Li. Li Wentong's family of five had just opened the pot and started dinner.

"Hey, Xiaofeng is here. Come to the house quickly. Have you had dinner? Let's have some together?" Aunt Li asked who opened the door.

Yue Feng said with a smile: "Don't bother me, aunt, I just came here after eating at home! Today I went up to the mountain with my eagle to hunt for a small area. I caught a few chickens and sent a few here for my aunt and uncle to try!" Auntie, find a bag, Feilong and Shabanji are still alive!”

“That’s really rare! This thing can only be caught every year after it snows! Li Wentong stood up and took a look at the game Yue Feng brought over and said with a smile.

"The blue kite I shot with the net a few days ago was very hard. We will have no shortage of these little pheasants to eat in the future!" Yue Feng said arrogantly. Li Wentong: "That's a good relationship! Yesterday I told your brother that when it snows, go up the mountain and eat half a chicken with sand. Today, your dream has come true!"

Yue Feng listened. When Uncle Li mentioned going up the mountain, his heart moved, and he continued: "Uncle, my dad will definitely not be able to go up the mountain with you this year, otherwise I will go with you later! Let's go catch the big wild boar!"< br>
Li Wentong shook his head: "This wild boar is not easy to catch. Our family has no dogs and no guns. It is too dangerous to rely on a few condoms and knives!

You better listen to you Dad, it’s safer to just go to Xiaowei! I really want to go. When your dad’s leg is healed, I’ll take you there then!”

"I'll go up the mountain with you to fuck the wild boar then!" At this time, Uncle Li's eldest son Li Mingtao also joined in the conversation.

"What kind of mountain are you going to climb? I see you are struggling to get on the kang. Just stay there and don't be an eyesore in front of me!!" Li Wentong glanced at his eldest son in shock. Dare to speak.

As for Uncle Li's eldest son, Li Mingtao, he is also 17 this year. He is 180cm tall and has thick eyebrows and big eyes. To use a more fashionable word, he is definitely a handsome young man famous in eight villages in ten miles.

But this guy is brave. He doesn't like to use his brain when doing things. In Northeastern dialect, this guy is a bit of a tiger. Every time he gets into trouble, his father always punishes him.

Yue Feng saw Ming Tao sulking and pursed his lips and smiled: "Xiao Tao will be 18 next year. If you want to go then, let's go together. We can't do anything else. In case of pigs, just move around. Physical work is fine too!”

"This kid is not as careful and steady as you. He has been reckless since he was a child. If you don't watch, he can break the sky! Let's see when the time comes. Let's see how he performs!" Li Wentong also agreed with Yue Feng's words, so he was right.

"Hey, it's my brother Feng who is good at talking!" Xiao Tao smiled when he heard Yue Feng say nice things to him, and glanced at Yue Feng gratefully.

"What about that? You guys hurry up and eat. It will get cold later! I'll go back first!" Yue Feng finished his business, said hello and turned around to leave.

"Xiao Tao, send your second brother off!"

"Oh! Okay!" Li Mingtao responded, and carelessly sent Yue Feng to the door of the hospital.

When he reached the door, Yue Feng lowered his voice and said: "If I have a chance to fight in the big siege later, I will definitely take you with me! You behave well during this period. If everything goes well, we will have a chance to go up the mountain when it snows this winter!"< br>
Li Mingtao nodded: "Okay! Call me when the time comes, and you will definitely obey the orders and follow the instructions!"

Yue Feng waved his hand: "Let's go!"

Back from Uncle Li's house, Yue Feng hurried home again, picked up a flying dragon and a sand-and-half chicken, tied the wings and legs with wires, and went straight to the brigade secretary Wang Jianguo under the cover of night.

Yue Feng’s parents are both honest and responsible farmers. In their previous life, they basically didn’t have much human contact with the village secretary’s family, but it’s different now. How could Yue Feng not know what he wants to do in his two lifetimes? To get ahead in the village, you must have a good relationship with the village secretariat!

The purpose of borrowing a bicycle this time was not so much to go into town to sell wild game, but rather to find a way to establish a relationship.

To make friends, ask others to do a few small favors as much as they can, and give them something in return in a timely manner. The relationship will gradually become familiar as you keep going back and forth.

Slowly approach favors, first become familiar with each other, and then promise some benefits when you want to do something critical.
