Chapter 12 Lively
It's the old lady Xu and the second uncle of the Xu family.

The two walked hesitantly, their eyes dodged, and they seemed a little embarrassed.

"Grandma, second uncle."

Xu Baozhu went up to meet them and called the two of them into the courtyard, "Are you also here to see this big wild boar?"

The second uncle of the Xu family was ashamed when he thought of the purpose of his visit, but when he thought of his daughter-in-law crying, he nodded bravely, "I heard that you and Ah Jin came back after hunting a wild boar. See what kind of wild boar this bad crop looks like, come and have a look.”

He looked at the big pig whose black hair had been stripped of its stubble and showed a white body on the board, and said in surprise, "It weighs at least three or four hundred catties, right?"

"Haven't weighed it yet, but probably there are."

Mrs. Xu smiled kindly when she heard people say this, "After all, it is my granddaughter who not only helped the villagers, but also improved the food for the family."

Xu Baozhu smiled, and found two stools for the two of them to sit down on, "Hey, I was planning to inform you, I discussed it with Father and Uncle Qian, this pig is broken, and there are many in our village. Although we hunted people's crops, the village has been harmed by it, so we can't just suffer in vain!"

"Girl, what do you mean?"

"We plan to donate part of the meat, and then invite the whole village to have a meat feast to get rid of the bad luck of this bad crop."

"This...Baby girl, are you serious?" Second Uncle Xu was shocked, his chaotic eyes suddenly lit up, but he still had some doubts and couldn't believe it.

"Of course it's true."

Qian Cheng came out of the house. He injured his hand, and the bandage was still hanging on his arm. Due to lack of nutrition, his whole body was relatively weak, with chapped lips and a sallow complexion, which did not match his stout body at all.

"We are all from the same village. We have no reason to take good things for nothing. What's more, the animals have indeed hurt a lot of crops in the village."

"Yes, yes, in the end, you young people will think, grand!" Mrs. Xu frowned with a smile, praised the two of them repeatedly, and said: "Then if you are free at the moment, go and inform Well, it will be lively if the big guys come together, otherwise there will be no movement, people should think about it."

"Hey!" Xu Baozhu responded, and called the little sister of the Qian family over, and asked her to go from house to house to inform people.

Soon, dozens of families in the village gathered in Qian's yard.

a time.

However, the small courtyard of a few square meters was full of voices and laughter. At this moment, everyone seemed to have forgotten that Xu Baozhu was a broom star, and kept praising her for her courage and courage.

Old man Xu was delighted to hear these words, and felt more and more that his proposal was right.

Xu Baozhu felt nothing.

She clearly knew that these people's compliments and flattery to her were all because she was beneficial to others now, and their views on her would not change much after today passed.

After all, the shackles of so many years of thinking are there.

It is impossible to change overnight because of this incident.

……

The bustle of the Qian family lasted from daytime to late at night, until the night was dark, and then they were full of food and drink, and went away separately.

Old man Xu was in a good mood today and drank a lot. By late at night, he was already unconscious. Xu Baozhu and Zhu Yun staggered home with him and waited for him to sleep. Both of them were out of breath from exhaustion. , It took a long time to recover.

"It's been a tiring day, you go and rest for a while, I'll go to the kitchen to boil water, and I'll change my medicine later before going to bed."

"It's okay, I can't sleep either, why don't you take advantage of this opportunity to practice what you taught me during the day."

Xu Baozhu's eyes fell on his hands that had been scalded with several blisters, and today it was considered embarrassing for him, a sick scholar who didn't do much work on weekdays, but today he was busy running around with him.

"it is good."

The two went into the kitchen together, lit a fire, changed the medicine for others, washed up, and then fell into a deep sleep.

When you wake up in the daytime.

Several brothers from the Qian family had already brought over the divided meat, old man Xu kept a few people for dinner, but they were busy with the work in the field, so they left after delivery, Xu Baozhu only saw a vague shadow when he got up.

"Father."

"Get up." The old man Xu responded to her, took two puffs of dry cigarettes, and said, "The Qian family sent things over, what do you think we should do with them?"

"My uncle and my uncle's family will send some, and let's smoke the rest into bacon, so we can put it away."

The old man Xu didn't expect his daughter to take the initiative to say this, his deep and chaotic eyes flickered, and an indescribable emotion flooded his heart.

"What's the matter, isn't that what you thought?"

When he came back yesterday, the old man Xu was drunk, but he kept thinking about the past, saying that he was sorry for Mrs. Xu and her, and hoped to ease the relationship with the two families.

"It's okay." Old man Xu turned his back, wiped away his tears, and said, "You have really grown up and become sensible."

Xu Baozhu smiled and said nothing, turned around and went to the water tank to fetch a basin of cold water, washed her face, and went to the kitchen to cook after waking up.

People in this mountain are usually busy, and they only eat two meals a day, morning and evening, so they always pay attention to breakfast. Xu Baozhu is used to it these days, and she will get up early to cook. It's just a dried pickle.

But today she had some meat, so she made some more. First she fried a small crispy pork, then made a braised short rib, steamed a few steamed buns, and the leftover peanuts from the wedding a few days ago were not bad. She also took it and made it into crushed peanuts.

This is the best meal I ate in the past month. The fly in the ointment is that there is no chili water. She has always loved spicy food, and she does not like spicy food. When she comes to this place, she eats light food every day, which really makes her feel a little embarrassed .

After breakfast, Xu Baozhu cut up two catties of meat and asked the old man Xu to take them to the two uncles' houses, and then he began to think of ways to deal with the remaining meat.

The most important thing to smoke bacon is salt and firewood. Salt is a precious thing in this era, and the Xu family is a poor family, so they can only buy some coarse salt, but that's it, and there is not much. In order not to affect the survival later, she I had to give up using salt and just use fire to bake.

She cleaned out the wooden shed, asked Zhu Yun to help hang up the meat that had been shared, and lit the fire.

Xu Baozhu really wants to thank her for living at her grandmother's house in the countryside, and for the majors she has studied. Otherwise, she might not be able to adapt to this place, and it would be too inconvenient. Many things have to be done by herself. Can't free hands.

After finishing all this, it was past noon.

Now I am waiting for the old man Xu to come back and hang it up, but the two waited for a long time, but there is no sign of him.

It stands to reason that it's just a gift, shouldn't it take so long?

Xu Baozhu felt inexplicably uneasy.

She has to go and see.

Just as he was thinking about it, a young boy hurried over from the outside, sweating all over his forehead, out of breath, and said: "Sister Baozhu, go and have a look, your second aunt and your father are having a quarrel."

"????"
