hunting in 1986

Chapter 34 34 Meat Buns, Big Brother Wang Wen
In Lindu countryside in 1986, the income of most farmers was very low.

Some farmers work in forest farms, or those who are more flexible and courageous have higher incomes, while most of the others can only rely on the output of the field.

There is a lot of land in the Northeast, but the yield per mu is also very low. After paying the public grain and then keeping enough rations, there is really not much left.

Workers can earn 2 to 3 yuan a day. During this period of time, Wang Yuan thought carefully, at least most of the farmers in Wangjiatun are far from earning this money by farming, and their income is very, very low.

So 10 yuan is not small money.

After sending the third aunt away, Wang Yuan hung the roe deer leg in the well. The low temperature in the well can delay the rot of the roe deer leg.

He plans to go to the city tomorrow.

"Second brother, eat grapes." The little girl moved a small stool, picked a bunch of grapes from the grape trellis, and wanted to give it to Wang Yuan in a childish voice.

There is a grape trellis on the east side of the yard, and the bunches of purple-red grapes are very beautiful. Every evening, I eat beside the grape trellis.

"Well, it's so sweet." Wang Yuan grabbed a grape and put it in his mouth, spit out the grape skin and threw it to the chicks: "Where are our parents?"

"Go to third uncle's house."

"Well, there are too many third uncle's family members, maybe I didn't see it."

After a while, Mom and Dad came back with the roe deer meat that they had allocated. They planned to make vegetable buns at noon, but now they can make meat buns.

More than 12 noon.

Mama Wang took the unburned firewood out of the stove and put it on the ashes outside the door, and when she came back, she lifted the lid of the pot, and instantly a scent wafted out.

"Meow meow~"

"Wang Wang~"

The big white cat and the big wolf dog walked around the house, and they also wanted to eat meat buns.

"I put in too much alkali, and the buns turned yellow." Mama Wang picked up the buns on the grate and served them to the table.

A bite of green onion dipped in sauce, a bite of meat buns, full of happiness.

"It's delicious." Wang Yuan didn't think it was too hot, he sat cross-legged beside the kang table and ate his rice. The stuffing of the buns was very fragrant.

"Eat slowly, there are more." Mama Wang broke open a bun and handed half of it to the little girl.

"Yeah, all the roe deer meat has been made into steamed stuffed buns?"

"No, there is still some meat stuffing left, which can be wrapped in wontons...Xiao Yuan, after dinner, you can ride your bike to deliver some meat buns to your sister and your elder brother."

"Well, okay."

Beside the kang table at home are Wang Mama, Wang Yuan and the little girl.

Father Wang drank at his third uncle's house, his eldest brother worked in the village, and his eldest sister went to high school in the county.

At this time.

There was a shout from outside the house, it was the cousin Wang Hu who came over: "Ma'am, brother, go over there for dinner."

Wang Hu lifted the curtain and entered the room.

Mother Wang smiled and said, "There are too many people over there, so we won't go there. Let's eat a meat bun here."

"Okay, then I'll taste half of it." Wang Hu smiled, he seemed to be drunk, his face was very red and his tongue was a bit tongue-tied.

He was sent by the third aunt, out of politeness, asked Madam Wang and the three to go there for dinner. After making sure that the three of them would not go there, he ate half of the meat buns and left.

Chat while eating.

Mother Wang said to Wang Yuan: "Your aunt Hong is really angry. Your third uncle and third aunt sent venison to her house, and they all kept a straight face."

Wang Yuan smiled and said, "If you don't want it, then don't. Why do you have to give it away? I feel that my third aunt did nothing wrong."

"You child...you are also your cousin's family after all."

Wang Yuan's grandfather has three brothers, Wang Yuan's grandfather is the second, and Aunt Hong is the daughter-in-law of the grandfather's family and the wife of his cousin "Wang Jianguo".

Papa Wang and Wang Jianguo are cousins.

The blood relationship is very close.

It's just... It's not very pleasant to get along with.

Wang Yuan went to high school, and his academic performance is quite good. In a class of more than 50 people, he can take the top three exams, and occasionally can be No. 1 in the class. Even if he occasionally performs abnormally, he has never fallen out of the top 10.

It's a pity—two people in their class were admitted to the university in the first year, and Wang Yuan missed the university.

He was not willing to repeat the study for another year, but his grades in the second year were not as good as in the first year. He lost his heart and resigned to his fate, so he gave up completely.

Wang Yuan couldn't forget that Aunt Hong almost laughed out loud when she found out that he still didn't pass the college entrance examination for the second time, her eyes seemed to say - I knew you would fail the exam.

But his relatives, uncles and aunts were all comforting him, with pity on their faces, and no gloating.

So Wang Yuan hated Aunt Hong very much.

After eating, Wang Yuan wanted to lie on the kang and squint for a while, but the little girl was not sleepy at all and crawled around like a puppy, making Wang Yuan unable to sleep because of the noise.

He casually flicked the little girl until her brain collapsed, but in the end, the little girl burst into tears.

……

Meat buns have both flour and roe deer meat, which is the best thing, that's why Mama Wang asked Wang Yuan to send some to his younger sister and elder brother.

A bicycle was pushed from my grandfather’s house, and a bamboo basket was hung on the right side of the back seat. Mother Wang put two packs of meat buns in it, and a jar of pickles besides:
"Xiaoyuan, ride slowly on the road and come back early."

"Well, I see."

Seeing the little girl grabbing his clothes and trying to climb onto him, Wang Yuan immediately bent his fingers to bounce her, and the little girl quickly covered her head in fright, acting stupidly.

Stretching his feet and straddling his legs, Wang Yuan sat firmly on the back seat of the [-]-bar bicycle, said hello to Mrs. Wang, and left quickly.

The breeze blows in the ear, very cool.

Occasionally, a truck from the forest farm would go by, running very fast as if he was rushing to reincarnate. He hurriedly avoided the side of the road, and waited for the dust in the sky to dissipate, before he rode fiercely.

Not long after, I went to the village and met my elder brother in the courtyard of the township government.

Wang Wen is 22 years old, wearing a gray Chinese tunic suit and holding an enamel tank. He was a little surprised by Wang Yuan's arrival, but then fell silent.

"Brother, I brought you my mother's steamed meat buns, stuffed with roe deer meat." Wang Yuan smiled.

After a long silence, the elder brother let out a "hmm" and took the bun with his left hand.

"Okay, I'm leaving, and I have to go to the county town to deliver meat buns to Xiaoqing." Wang Yuan saw that his elder brother had nothing to say, so he pushed his bicycle and walked outside the township government.

The township government is just a farm compound, all bungalows, and there are a few vegetable beds in the corner. I don't know if the person pulling the seedlings for the vegetable beds is someone like the deputy mayor.

"Wait a moment."

Knowing that Wang Yuan was going to visit his younger sister Wang Qing in the county, a gleam of light appeared in the eyes of his elder brother Wang Wen.

He hurried back to the dormitory, walked out again quickly, and handed Wang Yuan five one-dollar tickets under Wang Yuan's puzzled eyes.

"You help me transfer the 5 yuan to Xiaoqing, so that she will not save too much and eat better."

"OK, all right."

After slightly hesitating, Wang Wen said slowly: "Tell her again that only by studying hard can her fate be changed. Don't learn from her eldest brother, and don't learn from her second brother."

"Second Brother" Wang Yuan said helplessly, "Brother, I understand."

Big brother Wang Wen had high hopes for Wang Yuan before, but unfortunately Wang Yuan let him down, even twice!

It’s okay to be disappointed twice. According to Wang Wen, he really hopes that Wang Yuan will continue to repeat the third year. If he still fails in the third year, he will repeat the fourth, fifth, and sixth years. ...

He even made it clear that he was willing to pay Wang Yuan for tuition and living expenses.

pity……

Wang Yuan still dropped out of school.

From then on, Wang Wen didn't want to talk to him anymore, and he was too lazy to talk to him.
