Chapter 47 It’s not like a family doesn’t come from one house
“I’m already 21 and I’ve finished the work in the fields. I can’t just idle around at home the rest of the time, right? If this continues, when will I be able to get a wife? !
If you can train an eagle and go into the mountains to catch pheasants and cats, even if you earn 50 cents a day, you will still have 15 yuan a month!”
Zhu Erhai worked hard! When he got older, he didn't dare to exaggerate his income. In his eyes, earning fifteen yuan a month was already a sky-high price that he couldn't even imagine.
Quiet!
Quiet!
Both Zhu Jianshe and his wife have some brain problems. They have always been a lazy and lazy son who can’t eat enough. Today’s idea seems to have no logical problem.
“Can you really sell pheasants, hares and the like caught with eagles in the city for money?” Niu Jianshe asked again, still a little unsure.
"My younger brother, the third child, heard what the secretary's youngest son Wang Mingyu said yesterday!" Zhu Erhai argued with reason.
"Where is the third child? Go and call your brother back!"
"You can't open the door, the eagle is still on the top of the kang cupboard!" Zhu Erhai pointed at the eagle on the kang.
“Give me the trouser legs!” Zhu Jianshe took the cotton trouser legs from his son’s hand, took off his shoes and got on the kang, then suddenly swooped down and grabbed the two parts of the tethered eagle.
Seeing that the big eagle was regained control by his father, Zhu Erhai went out to look for his younger brother.
After a while, Zhu Sanhai also came back.
The third son told his father exactly what he heard from Wang Jianguo's son.
At this time, Niu Jianshe's thoughts came to life.
Did you really blame your second son wrongly this time? He immediately decided to go out and find out what was going on later.
If it is true, then training a big eagle to hunt in the mountains is also a good choice in autumn and winter.
Ordinary villagers dare not go deep into the mountains. Villagers who grew up under the mountains have had enough respect for the deep mountains and old forests since they were young.
Using an eagle to hunt Xiaowei does not require drilling deep into the Changbai Mountains to hunt wild boars, roe deer, etc. You can catch pheasants, hares and other prey in these mountain ridges at your doorstep.
In the village gathering area at the foot of the mountain, due to human activities all year round, there are few large beasts. Except for the occasional poor harvest in the mountains in some years, and the large cattle coming down the mountain to cause trouble in the corn fields in autumn, the hills around the door are almost Nothing dangerous.
In this way, the matter of Zhu Erhai raising an eagle has been temporarily settled at home. However, my mother’s fried meat slices with a broom cannot be taken off even if she is beaten. I will just beat her. It’s okay. The mother later apologized to her son.
The happiest person in the entire Zhu family is probably Zhu Sanhai'er.
My brother brought back a big eagle from outside. Looking at it, it was much bigger than the eagle that Yue Feng and the others brought up the mountain.
I heard what my parents and brother said when they were chatting, that such a big eagle can catch pheasants and rabbits on the mountain, but it is much better than the second boy of the Yue family who can only catch half a chicken.
Zhu Sanhai, who hasn't had lunch yet, feels like he can't stay at home any longer. If he weren't afraid of being beaten, he would want to go out and tell his friends that he has a big eagle at home.
The issue of raising eagles in the Zhu family has calmed down for the time being, but there is another storm that has not subsided at the place of Mr. Zhu at the back of the village.
At noon, the geese released by the family returned home on time, but after counting, the big goose that laid the most eggs was missing.
Lao Zhu and his wife wandered around the place where the geese usually eat grass and bathe, but they didn’t find any clues, so the old man’s wife Ma Pozi stayed there even for lunch. He didn't even bother to eat. He walked to the street, put his hands on his hips, and started talking. "Who stole our goose?
If you eat my goose, you will get canker sores on your mouth and hemorrhoids in your eyes if you keep it!!"
“You stupid goose thief, I curse you to be infertile for the rest of your life. My wife will give you eight sons!”
“You weedy goose thief, I × you Bloody Mom! "
......
It is said that one family does not enter the same house, but this is really the case in the Zhu family.
The Zhu family is considered an old household in the village, but ever since my great-grandfather’s generation, the reputation in the village has been very poor. Mr. Zhu didn’t interact with any of his neighbors, and would not say hello to anyone he met on the street. .
Mrs. Ma, the daughter-in-law of Mr. Zhu, is the leader in scolding among the old ladies in the village. If anyone offends her, she will scold him on the street all day long in the bright sun!
If it were anyone else, if the goose was lost at home, the neighbors would definitely help search for it, but the neighbors in Old Man Zhu’s house would not talk to each other, and no one would come near.
Who is willing to touch that brow, let alone not seeing it? Even for the few villagers who saw Zhu Erhai carrying the goose out of the village, most of them would rather do more than have less. They don’t want to do anything to themselves Cause trouble.
After this scolding, Mrs. Ma continued to scold him from noon to around two o'clock in the afternoon, but there was no response. Mrs. Ma felt that she had not performed well, so she tiptoed directly to the brigade secretary Wang Jianguo.
As the village secretary, Wang Jianguo also had some headaches when facing Mrs. Ma. At such an old age and with seniority, he couldn't speak harshly. If something happened, he couldn't ignore it.
So, Wang Jianguo used the loudspeaker of the village headquarters to shout several times, and promised to tell her as soon as there was news. This was how he coaxed Mrs. Ma to go home.
In the next few days, the whole village was peaceful.
Yue Feng and several members of the falconry team went up the mountain together at dawn every day, and then each chose a hilltop to work with the eagle. At 4:30 in the afternoon, they gathered at home on time and handed in the report. Yue Feng was responsible for summarizing all the harvest of the day, and then pulled the sledge to deliver the goods to the No. 2 canteen of the coal mine.
After several days of high-intensity siege, the five Sparrowhawks at home, even the one with the softest temper assigned to Xiaowu, are now safe.
Except for the Big Green Harrier in Yue Feng's hands, the average daily harvest of the other four people is more than 25 chicks, and they can steadily supply about a hundred or so pheasants to the Second Canteen every day.
In the past few days, Yue Feng went up the mountain every day and wandered in the red pine forests in his memory. He also accumulated more than thirty greyhound skins in his hand.
Stable fresh game means stable cash income. After this period of accumulation, the cash in Yue Feng's hands successfully exceeded the two hundred yuan mark, reaching an astonishing 241 yuan and 53 cents.
This is because the leather at home has not been dried and sold, otherwise it would be hundreds more.
After receiving the payment for another delivery, Yue Feng saved up enough money to buy a bicycle and became very excited.
It's time to go to the ghost market again early in the morning. After such a long time, Brother Hu should also get a bicycle ticket.
Every morning in the mountains, Yue Feng has to pull a sledge into the city after returning home in the afternoon. Not counting the road on the mountain, the round trip to the city alone takes up to forty or fifty miles.
This kind of life of traveling by foot is not for people. After saving enough money, the first thing to do is to solve the traffic problem.
