hunting in 1986

Chapter 83 82 Buy bears, buy pigs, melon and sugar cane

There was lightning and thunder outside the window, and it was raining.

Wang Yuan and Wang Hu stayed overnight at the house of old village head Shen in "Erdi Yingzi Village", planning to leave tomorrow when the rain stopped.

When it was almost dawn, Wang Yuan heard a cat meowing in a daze, and the quilt on his body became heavier accordingly, and he touched the cat on the quilt without opening his eyes.

Soon, I felt a softness in my hand.

"Is it my big white cat? No, I'm not sleeping at home." Wang Yuan quickly opened his eyes and found that it was Uncle Shen's big tabby cat.

"Hurrrrrrrr~"

The big cat purred and Wang Yuan looked at each other, was taken aback for a moment, and then opened its mouth to bite his hand.

Brush~ Fortunately, his hand was drawn back quickly, otherwise it must have been bitten by the sharp cat teeth.

"Hey you silly cat, forget it, you are someone else's cat and I won't beat you up, otherwise I will punch you twice."

The big tabby cat jumped off the kang and fled cursing. She seemed very angry at being touched several times by strangers for no reason.

Cousin Wang Hu slept like a dead pig, but Wang Yuan lost sleepiness, put on his clothes, folded the quilt and got off the kang. As soon as he came to the main room, he saw Uncle Shen sitting at the door with his clothes on, smoking.

"Xiao Yuan, are you awake?"

"Well, I slept really well this time. When did the rain stop?"

"It's stopped for a while, don't worry Xiao Yuan, I'll feed you all the chickens in the basket."

At this time, Mrs. Shen came into the house with firewood to cook, and two pieces of firewood hit the door frame and fell to the ground with a crackling sound.

Uncle Shen stared, picked up two sticks of firewood and threw them next to the stove: "You are the only one who is so lively, and you still bump into the door frame while holding a firewood, this jingle~"

Not to be outdone, Aunt Shen said in a choked voice: "If you're not busy, then you come to cook, and if you sit there and wait to eat, you still hate this."

She seemed a little embarrassed, and said to Wang Yuan with a smile: "This old man of my family, he will feel uncomfortable if he doesn't get angry a few times a day. Xiaoyuan, what do you want to eat, my aunt will make it for you."

Wang Yuan smiled and said that whatever the aunt made was delicious, which instantly made Aunt Shen laugh.

At this time, Uncle Shen spoke, and he said: "Xiaoyuan, I have been thinking about it all night. The price you gave for the black blind man and wild boar is too high. My family can't take advantage of you. You can pay whatever price the supply and marketing cooperative offers. Any price will do..."

He is really a simple person, and the money he got is actually pushed out, Wang Yuan shook his head and said:
"Don't change the price that Uncle Shen said, don't worry, the price I gave is also the result of careful consideration, and I won't lose money."

After Wang Yuan's persuasion, Uncle Shen finally gave up on lowering the price, and he was very happy - once again, Wang Yuan still voluntarily gave the price, so he would have no burden in his heart with the money.

Since it's not raining outside.

Wang Yuan proposed to transport the black blind man and the wild boar back to the hometown first, and let Wang Hu sleep first without waking him up. Uncle Shen agreed, and soon he set off on a ox cart, and Wang Yuan set off on a bicycle.

The air was cold and the ground was wet and muddy. Wang Yuan almost fell to the ground along the way.

After arriving in the village, he put the blind man, the wild boar, and the chickens back into the straw shed. He asked Mr. Shen to wait outside the door with the ox cart for a while, then he went into the grass shed to feed the chickens, and then directly Heixiazi and wild boar were taken into the space.

Gala~
After locking the dilapidated courtyard gate, Wang Yuan rode his bicycle with Uncle Shen to Erdi Yingzi Village. Uncle Shen said:
"Xiao Yuan, the black blind man and the wild boar can't survive, so they have to be transported away quickly, the temperature will be too high in the sun and they will go bad."

The temperature after the rain was really low, Uncle Shen couldn't help tightening his collar.

"Okay, okay, I know, there will be an ox cart to take them away later." Naturally, Wang Yuan would not tell Uncle Shen that the black blind man and the wild boar were all taken into the space by him.

The reason why he was in such a hurry to transport the black blind man and the wild boar back was to avoid his cousin Wang Hu.

The two beasts cost Wang Yuan a total of 815 yuan, which is quite a lot, but Wang Yuan believes that he will not lose money, after all, 4 bear paws and bear skin are worth a lot of money.

Uncle Shen was driving the ox cart, and he rode his bicycle back to Erdi Yingzi quickly. At this time, Wang Hu had already got up.

After breakfast, the sky cleared completely, and the two continued to buy chickens, transport chickens, and so on.

……

A total of hundreds of chickens were harvested in Baiwu Township, and it felt that the number was almost the same. Wang Yuan and Wang Hu drove home with Liu Weiguo who was driving the ox cart to transport the chickens.

"I'm finally home! The gold nest and the silver nest are not as good as my own kennel, haha~" Wang Hu rode a big iron donkey on the right side of the ox cart, his face full of joy.

"Let's have a good drink when we get home, and Uncle Wei will come with us."

"Okay, we must go then."

After entering the village and coming to the door of the house, listening to the crowing and barking of chickens and dogs in the village, I feel extremely at ease.

His wife, Li Yan, was taking her sister-in-law and little girl to plant cucumbers in the vegetable patch. The little girl hurried over on short legs, and was about to hug her with open arms:
"Second Brother, Second Brother, you are back!"

"Well, I'm back."

Wang Yuan picked up the little girl, she really weighed a lot.

Li Yan brushed her hair by her ears, and came over with a happy face. Her emotions were reserved but not good at expressing, and she only said one sentence:
"Xiaoyuan, have you eaten yet? I'll cook for you."

It was past 1:[-] pm now, knowing that Wang Yuan and the others hadn't eaten yet, she quickly put on her apron and went to cook.

Wang Yuan left Wang Hu to eat with Uncle Wei Guo, drink some wine and eat some meat and vegetables, and then he lay down on the kang and fell asleep. When he woke up, it was already past 4 o'clock in the afternoon .

"Phew~ I'm still sleeping soundly at home."

Wang Yuan lay on the kang and found that he was covered with an army green overcoat, and the big white cat was lying cross-legged on top of the overcoat, snoring and snoring.

The sun shines on his cheeks through the window, everything is so comfortable and beautiful that he doesn't even want to wake up.

Faintly heard the voices of mother and Li Yan talking in the yard, as well as the sound of puppies and little girls fighting and running, everything was so harmonious.

After thinking for a while, he hugged the big white cat lying on his chest to one side, gave her a few strokes, then turned over and got off the kang, pushed open the door and went outside.

On the west side of the yard is a vegetable bed. Several small vegetable beds are neatly divided on the small ground. Cucumbers, beans, tomatoes, eggplants, carrots, loofahs, coriander, leeks, fennel, etc. will be planted one after another.

At Wang Yuan's request, Li Yan also planted melons and sugar cane, and now she and her mother are squatting on the right side of the melon bed, pulling weeds.

"Second brother, you're awake." The little girl was playing with three little dogs, when she saw Wang Yuan, she rushed over and threw herself into his arms.

"Okay, don't tease the dog, look at your skirt is covered with dirt from the dog's paws."

Wang Yuan dusted her off, then squeezed her little face and put him on her shoulder, the little girl is so beautiful.

Stepping on the field ridge and walking into the vegetable bed, I saw that the sugarcane bed already had about 8 cm seedlings, some were tall and some were short, and the seedlings planted with seeds were uneven.

It looks a bit like sorghum seedlings.

And the melon seedlings in that melon have grown small melons, each of which is as big as a peanut, with a layer of fine fluff on the surface, which looks tender.

"This little melon is growing well, and after a while, there will be melons to eat."

"It's really good." My mother said with a smile: "I was flooded by the rain a while ago, and I thought I wouldn't be able to survive a few trees, but I didn't expect them all to survive."

Li Yan squatted on the ridge of the field and picked up a few "resurrected" grasshoppers.

"I pulled out these grasses a few days ago and threw them on the ground to dry in the sun for two or three days. I didn't expect them to come back to life when it rained."

My mother smiled and said: "Grasshopper vegetables are particularly hard to die, you can dry them and save them, and eat steamed buns later. Steamed buns with grasshopper vegetables are delicious."

Wang Yuan bent down and grabbed a piece of grasshopper vegetable, broke it and made it into a necklace. He hung the earrings made of grasshopper vegetable on the little girl's ear, and the little girl had a smug smile all over her face.

"Mom, mom, am I pretty?"

"Looks good, you little girl." Mom couldn't laugh or cry.

Grasshopper vegetables are purslane, also known as long-lived vegetables, horse amaranth, melon seed vegetables, hemp rope vegetables, etc., and their vitality is very tenacious.

"Wang Wang~"

The three little dogs wanted to get close to Wang Yuan, but they accidentally ran into the vegetable bed and stepped on several sugarcane seedlings. Wang Yuan hurriedly carried them out.

"By the way, Mom, let's eat in this yard together at night. Call my father, my uncle, and my grandfather to have a lively and lively time together, and also call Uncle Wei Guo."

"Okay, then I'll ask someone to cook now."

Mom knows that these days, Wang Yuan has been hiring Liu Weiguo to help transport the chickens. After the work is done, he usually has a whole table of good wine and food for people to eat at the end.

Liu Weiguo also ate at Wang Yuan's house at noon, but Wang Yuan felt that it was not rich enough and it was just a deal.
