Chapter 119
Early the next morning.

Jiang Xue was still in bed, and she heard a vague noise.

It wasn't until she put on her clothes and came out of the house that she realized that the commotion was caused by winter hunting in the mountains.

Now that she got up, Jiang Xue followed to watch the excitement.

Children all over the village ran around, happy to be able to eat meat. Not only the children were happy, but the adults were also full of anticipation and smiles.

A child saw Jiang Dabao, glanced at the satchel on his body, and greeted him enthusiastically to play with him, but Jiang Dabao, like a shy girl who was afraid of others, followed Aunt Jiang and Jiang Xue step by step. , inseparable.

Watching the winter hunting team march up the mountain with bows, arrows, shotguns and hunting knives, Jiang Xue accompanied Mrs. Jiang to listen to the women who stayed in the village chatting for a while, and then dispersed one after another.

After returning home, after breakfast, Jiang Xue asked curiously.

"Godmother, I'm actually a little strange, shouldn't the winter hunting be earlier?" She remembered that in Jiangcheng City, the winter hunting in the countryside was quite early.

Aunt Jiang: "In Heye Village, the winter hunting starts seven or eight days before the Chinese New Year, and it has become a habit."

"so."

While talking, Zhang Xiaozi came over to help carry water, and the two swallowed their words.

Then the aunts and aunts from the village came to chat with Aunt Jiang. Jiang Xue didn't have the habit of staying by the side, so she greeted them, poured hot water and went into the house.

"Dabao, if you're bored, you can go out and play." Seeing that Jiang Dabao hasn't gone out much since he came back, there is no child who doesn't like to play, Jiang Xue said.

Jiang Dabao shook his head without thinking: "Auntie, I don't want to play, let me practice big characters for a while."

The clothes he wears are good, but there is no patch all over his body, what should he do if he gets dirty from playing?
Moreover, some children in the village, no matter how old or young, would stare at his pocket before saying a few words, and some aunts and aunts would half-jokingly ask him what was in his satchel.

Of course there are candies and oranges from my aunt, but these are all expensive, and Jiang Dabao certainly doesn't want to be taken advantage of by others.

Jiang Dabao is good, of course Jiang Xue likes it, but she doesn't want him to have no childhood, so she said: "If you think you have no playmates in the village, then you can take your candy out and share some with your friends..."

Children's friendship is established by sharing toys and snacks together.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she finished speaking, Jiang Dabao hurriedly refused: "Auntie, I don't want it."

Just kidding, my aunt bought these snacks so hard, why would he give them to those people?

Seeing this, Jiang Xue laughed and said, "You are protecting the food."

"Okay, if you don't go, you won't go."

These aunts and aunts are very good at chattering, and when it's time for fast food, they go away.

Someone in the village grinds soybeans to make some tofu. Mrs. Jiang bought a piece with Dahai Bowl and six cents. At noon, Jiang Xue made tofu, potatoes and roasted pork. It was fried with an egg and an onion, and the soup was white radish soup.

The staple food is cooked with rice and mung beans, so in fact, a few rice can't be saved, it's just that Jiang Xue wants to eat like this.

The winter hunting in Heye Village lasted only two days, and the people who went up the mountain returned after two days.

I don't know if it is because of the rich products here, but I actually hunted a big wild boar, two roe deer, and some hares.

The harvests in other villages are also good. The prey are gathered together and the meat is divided according to the work points of each family.

Aunt Jiang just came back, and she hasn't worked a day's work, so naturally she has no work points.

The team leader scratched his head in embarrassment: "I wanted to give you a little bit, but..."

Aunt Jiang said with a smile: "That's not true. Everyone trades with work points. I don't have work points, so I can't take advantage of everyone."

In fact, some people also suggested that since Aunt Jiang is back, she is also from Heye Village, so it is okay to share half a catty. After all, there are quite a lot of prey hunted this year.

But it was quickly refuted.

"The household registration has been moved out, how can it be counted as our village, if it is said, it can only be her son or a member of our village."

"The big guys have worked hard, but you can't let people eat for nothing."

"Yeah, it has to be fair."

Some people disagree, and some people agree. Those who agree are naturally those who have been taken care of by Mrs. Jiang before.

"You can't say that, even if the household registration is gone, Mrs. Jiang was still from our village..."

"It's not easy for anyone's family to eat some meat all year round, but the Chinese New Year is coming soon. If a family saves half a mouthful of meat, it can even out half a catty."

"You should divide the meat among you and divide it among yourself."

"That is, anyway, whoever wants to take advantage of the brigade must not do it."

"Yes, you can't take advantage of the big guys."

"Whoever wants to show their energy, divide the meat and don't eat it at home, they can give it all away..."

As the captain, it is naturally not good to disregard everyone's opinions, so if you can share half a catty of meat with Mrs. Jiang, you have to let go.

Aunt Jiang didn't mean to be pissed off. After expressing her understanding, she said, "Captain, I just want to ask you for help."

"Sister Jiang, tell me."

"That's right, can I ask your family for two catties of meat?" Aunt Jiang knew that the captain's family had shared ten catties of meat.

"Don't worry, I don't want yours for nothing, I will pay for it."

Aunt Jiang smiled embarrassedly, and said: "You know, my daughter, her adoptive parents have a good family and have always treated her well. I don't want her life to be worse than before just because she recognized me."

"It's fine if there is no winter hunting in our village. Isn't this just a coincidence?"

The captain was just startled for a moment, but soon understood.

That's right, the girl who finally recognized her, even if she couldn't give her some fine clothes and food, at least she would buy some meat or something.

Even a meal of meat must be eaten, which is really unreasonable.

As a parent, who doesn't want to give their children something good to eat, not to mention that Jiang Xue has been lost for so many years, and it was not easy for mother and daughter to reunite.

The team leader immediately agreed: "What's the matter, it's okay, I'll sell you two catties."

No meat tickets, rabbit meat is not pork belly, it still has bones, so it costs fifty cents a catty, Aunt Jiang took out the money and counted it, and handed over one yuan.

It's so expensive.

But when she thought about it again, Jiang Xue liked to eat meat, so she didn't feel so distressed.

Jiang Xue gave Aunt Jiang ten yuan yesterday, saying it was for self-defense. In addition to the money she gave when she was in Qingzhou City, Aunt Jiang now has more than 13 yuan on her body, excluding the two days spent.

She hadn't carried so much money in her pocket for many years. Aunt Jiang woke up this morning and touched the inner pocket of her trouser waist. When she found the money, she was relieved.

Bought two catties of rabbit meat from the captain's house was not counted. When Aunt Jiang was walking back, she passed by a villager's house and went to his house to buy two catties of wild pork.

This is a big family, about ten people.
