Traversing the courtyard

Chapter 230 The Great Harvest

Wei Xiaomin admired Yi Weidong's eyesight, and arranged for Yi Weidong to reconnaissance at the critical moment.

Yi Weidong bowed his head and walked ahead, and when he could see wild boars, he gestured that four wild boars could be seen here.

Wei Xiaomin assigned targets to Yi Weidong and Xu Jianzhang respectively. Yi Weidong calmly aimed at his own target. After waiting for a few seconds, Wei Xiaomin shouted in a low voice:

"preparation!"

"start!"

Three gunshots rang out almost at the same time, and Geng Lecheng on the tree also shot afterward, and then the gunshots rang out continuously.

They used ordinary bullets, and one shot could not kill the big wild boar. Yi Weidong knocked down his target with just two shots, and delivered a fatal blow to the nearest wild boar.

Then he aimed at the one that was frightened by the rapid gunshots and hit the vital point with one shot. The wild boar staggered and tilted. Geng Lecheng on the tree also joined in, and the two worked together to keep the wild boar.

In a short time, the four of them left five wild boars behind, and the rest were scared away by the intensive gunfire and the howling of their companions.

When the wild boar was about to go out of Yi Weidong's range of perception, Yi Weidong quietly opened an opening in the space, and the biggest wild boar rushed in in a panic.

This time it was already a bumper harvest, so let them run for their lives with the remaining two pigs. Yi Weidong still has the virtue of living well, and it is better to save some breeding pigs for next year.

Geng Lecheng came down with a smile, looked at Wei Xiaomin with a cold old face, stepped forward cautiously and said with a smile:
"Don't be angry. I saw a large herd of wild boars from a distance. I shot and killed a half-sized wild boar to lure them over. If I didn't want to keep a few more wild boars, I wouldn't have waited for you to come."

What Geng Lecheng said was reasonable, he had a big guy in his hand, surrounded by a few wild boars, as long as he killed two of them first, the rest of the wild boars would probably run away.

Wei Xiaomin thought about it and felt that what Geng Lecheng said was reasonable, but he didn't show a good face, and said with a cold face:
"How dangerous are you, and you don't lack these catties of pork?"

"Look at what you said, how many catties of meat is this? I keep at most two wild boars for myself, and now the four of us have left five wild boars."

Wei Xiaomin said: "It's better to be more careful in the future, and you can't just be lucky every time you will be safe. Accidents can happen at any time."

Now everyone is happy, all four of them have gained, and there is an extra head, Wei Xiaomin suggested:
"The extra end is reserved for Wang Zhiguo. It's better for him to have more money when he's just married."

When you get married, you have to buy everything. The woman’s dowry is very small, just three or five practical items, and you need a ticket for shopping.

What's more, this gun was borrowed by Wang Zhiguo from the militia, so it would be appropriate to give Wang Zhiguo one more gun.

"I have no opinion."

"No problem, it should be given."

Yi Weidong also said, "Of course."

Xu Jianzhang looked at the five wild boars and said, "We need to get them back as soon as possible. It will be dark soon. Cut branches and make a simple sled to pull them back."

Wei Xiaomin also frowned and said, "You're right, we can only cut the branches first."

Fortunately, I brought the machete, and I climbed the trees in the small woods and cut off some arms-thick branches, and tied a few simple sleds out.

It took more than an hour to be busy, and it was dark before returning to the cave safely.

It's still dark to cook here, Wang Zhiguo has already had dinner at home, and all the borrowed tables, chairs, stools, bowls and chopsticks have been sent back.

When Wang Zhiguo returned to the old house, Uncle Wang was flipping through the ledgers to figure out which ones were offset or not, and which ones were new ones that needed to be paid back later.

Halfway through the book, Uncle Wang said to Wang Zhiguo, "Come over and take a look at this. Do you know the two Yi Weidongs?"

"What's the matter? I only know one Yi Weidong! He just helped to get the sewing machine."

He Xuemei who was sitting on the side asked in surprise: "Brother Zhiguo, did Yi Weidong help you get that sewing machine?"

Because of Wang Zhiguo's mother-in-law's insistence, they had to get a sewing machine, and their marriage almost fell through. Fortunately, Wang Zhiguo finally got a sewing machine, which led to today's wedding.

"Yeah, those bicycle watches I made were made by Yi Weidong, and the animals I collected were all given to Yi Weidong." Wang Zhiguo explained to his wife.

"Really? You didn't tell me before, when you toast at noon, make a toast. By the way, which one is Yi Weidong?"

In the past two days, from the preparation to the wedding, He Xuemei was in a daze. She forgot the names of the people she heard during the toast, and couldn't remember any of them at this moment.

Wang Zhiguo glanced at his daughter-in-law and said with a smile: "I'm going to tell you, you don't want to toast, and you have to curse."

He Xuemei looked at Wang Zhiguo's smirk, and a figure flashed in her mind, thinking that it couldn't be such a coincidence, as if the candy maker was called Weidong.

It took a whole noon to deal with it. I didn't expect that the last toast would make the two of them actually kiss for comrade Wang Zhiguo to see. It was really embarrassing.

He Xuemei asked hesitantly: "Isn't it the one who pressed my head?"

Wang Zhiguo smiled and nodded, "That's him, the youngest one."

He Xuemei blushed when she thought of that kiss, pouted secretly, and said, "It's really the one who pressed my head, the youngest, and the most evil ideas."

Wang Zhiguo smiled and asked his father: "Father, what do you mean by two Yi Weidongs?"

Uncle Wang pointed to two places and said: "Look, the first one, Yi Weidong, recorded a pair of pigs into the water."

Wang Zhiguo said with a smile: "I told you to write this down, why is there more later? I thought the pig's entry into the water was a congratulatory gift from Yi Weidong!"

He Xuemei was surprised and said, "A pair of pigs cost several dollars, why is there a congratulatory gift later?"

Uncle Wang turned over two pages of the account book, pointed to it and said, "Look, there is also a 50-jin fine grain ticket from Yi Weidong."

"Hiss..." Wang Zhiguo took a deep breath and said, "Why are there so many fine food coupons?"

At this time, the loved ones only give a one-yuan or two-yuan gift, or buy something for daily use, and the money spent is about the same.

Now the average price of small food stamps is only about [-] cents, and [-] catties is [-] yuan, which is enough to pay the gift money of several relatives.

What's more, there was a pair of pigs in the water before, which cost more than 15 yuan.

He Xuemei was also very shocked when she heard this, and was surprised that Yi Weidong was so generous. Now that the two of them just got married and needed money and food, Yi Weidong sent a big gift.said:
"This Yi Weidong is really generous. Now the hole in the house can be almost filled."

The rural area pointed out that the work points were divided into more than ten yuan a year at most. Wang Zhiguo often ran out and couldn't work, so he couldn't get the work points. Fortunately, Yi Weidong paid a high agency fee, so He Xuemei didn't complain.

Even though Wang Zhiguo had some extra money, he gritted his teeth and bought an extra bicycle, so he owed some debts outside.

Uncle Wang said: "Help him get more pigs in the future, your friend is still very good."

The family of four chatted for a while, and Uncle Wang began to push people away: "It's getting late, you go back to your house and rest, don't you have to go into the mountains tomorrow?"

"It's time to go back to sleep, and we'll go back first."

After Wang Zhiguo finished speaking, he pulled He Xuemei, who was already shy, but He Xuemei didn't shake off Wang Zhiguo's hand, and left the old house with a blushing face, then said embarrassedly: "Zhiguo, let go, it's embarrassing."

Wang Zhiguo smiled sideways: "Why can't I hold you? It's fine if I don't let you hold hands before, but after today, I will not only hold your hand."

After a pause, he said, "I still want to hug you."

Speaking of bending down to hug He Xuemei, He Xuemei let out an exclamation and fell on Wang Zhiguo's chest, speechless.

Until she was placed on the new bed by Wang Zhiguo, He Xuemei saw Wang Zhiguo pulling a big red quilt to cover her body, she said coquettishly:
"We haven't washed our feet yet!"

"What to wash? I won't wash it today, I can't wait." Wang Zhiguo finally waited until the day of his marriage, and he didn't want to wait for a moment at this time.

"Brother Zhiguo, where are you touching? Wait a minute, I haven't spread white cloth yet."

After finally pushing Wang Zhiguo aside, He Xuemei took out a white cloth from under the pillow and spread it in the center of the quilt, then turned around shyly and lay down on her side with her back to Wang Zhiguo.

"Honey, I finally waited until this day." Wang Zhiguo rushed forward impatiently.

"Brother Zhiguo, I will be yours from now on, you must know how to love others."
