Restarting life in Siheyuan

Chapter 111 The second uncle who eats everything

(The whole family celebrates reunion and happy holidays)
The second aunt held Zhu Xuefeng's hand with light in her eyes.

"This silly kid, bringing all this stuff all the way from his own family, don't talk about this. It's great if you can come, it's great if you can come. Is your family okay? The two little guys didn't come?"

"Okay, okay, let's go into the house and tell him that my nephew has ridden so far by himself. Let him rest for a while."

Erya, her elder brother and younger brother were gathered around the small motorcycle to look at the strange things. After a while, the courtyard door was pushed open and a group of children gathered around.

"This belongs to my eldest brother. Don't touch it. If it gets damaged, your family can't afford to pay for it."

Zhu Xuefeng smiled and glanced back, not paying attention. Tie Liaoda was not that delicate.

The second aunt let go of her hand and wiped her tears. Then Zhu Xuefeng picked up a few bags and packages and followed the second uncle into the main room.

The yard of the second uncle's house is not big. Because it is built against the mountain, the layout is a little messy. There are only two main rooms in the yard. One room is where the second uncle and two aunts live, and the other is used as the main room, which can be regarded as the living room, where the family can eat. The place.

There is only a wing on one side, which is only one big room. It is too small to be divided into two rooms. The foundation is made of stones on the slope. The amount of work is huge. The family spent two years building the foundation.

On the other side, a small kitchen was built according to local conditions. Now I just boil some water. I don't have a fire at home. There is a chicken coop a few meters away, which is also made of stones and branches. I used stones to weigh the dead grass at the door.

At this moment, the whole family gathered around Zhu Xuefeng and listened to Zhu Xuefeng's talk about the situation at home. Hearing that his younger brothers and sisters were taking extra lessons and that the house was being renovated, the second aunt felt relieved.

Who would renovate the house if he couldn't survive? The second uncle saw it last time and was basically relieved. He was too pressed for time and didn't bother to learn more about it, so he went back to the village. Now he was completely relieved. This eldest nephew is quite capable.

Zhu Xuefeng asked again about the renovation situation in the village. It was similar to Qianshan. Rabbits here were even harder to catch. Earthworms had also been raised. Oil sunflowers had also been planted. Others had to look for opportunities. The effect would not be seen for a while.

The report of raising chickens in the village was made, but there was no news for so long, and the village did not dare to move.

The water conservancy facilities were not implemented either. The village could not get cement, and piling stones could not stop the stream. Zhu Xuefeng did not consider this.

When the boiled glutinous rice porridge was ready, Zhu Xuefeng took some steamed buns with two-height noodles. His uncle and aunt cut some pickles and ate some with Zhu Xuefeng. It was impossible to cook and the iron pot was gone. The reason was that everyone all know.

Now everyone is required to eat in the canteen, and there is no food or food at home. Zhu Xuefeng pointed to a big bag.

"Second uncle, here is some rice and two pieces of wild boar meat, which have been pickled. Keep it for yourself."

As soon as she mentioned rice, her second aunt glared at her second uncle. Zhu Xuefeng estimated that all the rice he brought back last time had been confiscated, so he shook his head helplessly.

There is no iron pot, so we can't fry it. We can only stew it in a casserole or earthen pot. This is something that the second uncle's family has to figure out.

He squatted down again, opened a small package, and handed it to Zhu Yonghua.

"Fourth child, this is for you and your brothers and sisters. Take care of it yourself and don't lose it."

The fourth child is the eldest son of the second uncle's family. He is a few months younger than Zhu Xuemei, so he can only be the fourth child.

The fourth child opened it and saw that it was all candies, and nodded happily.

"Thank you bro."

Before his parents could say anything, they ran away with their younger brothers and sisters. The second uncle and second aunt both had half a steamed bun and chopsticks in their hands, so they couldn't stop him. After a moment's delay, they just let them go.

"Why did you get wild boar meat when you were in the city?"

The second uncle was also very surprised. He was in the mountains and couldn't touch wild boars, but his nephew brought wild boars from the city. It was a bit reversed.

Zhu Xuefeng didn't think much about it. He just said that he caught a wild boar with a hemp net and sold it to the steel rolling mill at a high price, so he was not short of money now. Hearing his uncle and aunt's eyes froze, they could still catch a wild boar like this.

"Our mountain is bigger, and there are more beasts in it, but we can't do anything about it. If this method works, hehe..."

The second uncle excitedly punched his thigh, stood up, and finished the remaining steamed buns in a few bites. "I'll go find the village chief. It's better now." The second uncle left happily. Only the second aunt looked at Zhu Xuefeng in embarrassment.

"My eldest nephew, Uncle You is such a person. He is very arrogant. It was the same last time. After he came back, I asked you about your situation twice. After a few words, it was all over. But when he talked about Niucun, he was very clear and logical. It seemed like he was the one who did it. It’s like, don’t be surprised.”

How could I be offended? I just feel more clearly the strength of self-reliance and the desire to not miss every opportunity for development. This is the epitome of millions of people in this era.

"It's okay, Second Aunt. If there are really many wild animals here, maybe the village will have a good year this year."

Pretending to be rummaging around in the bag, he took out the big net, which was quite a big ball, and threw it aside. He might need it soon.

After a while, the village chief, village party secretary and militia captain came and briefly introduced each other. Zhu Xuefeng explained again how to catch wild animals. He also picked up the net and let everyone pull and pull it. The wild boar could not be broken even if it was tried. .

"Is this really possible? Is it really effective? Just lie in ambush and wait in a puddle. Is it that simple?"

"It won't work if it's close. The wild beasts won't come. It won't work if it's far away. You won't be able to enter the ambush location. Everyone has more experience in this than me."

Of course, there is water in the mountains flowing down the creek. Whether the beast will find a puddle to drink depends on luck.

Zhu Xuefeng had some impressions of the terrain in the mountain. The water flowed all the way down the valley. Not far from the entrance to the mountain, there were several larger puddles. There seemed to be big rocks dozens of meters away. It was completely different from the environment in Qianshan. Trapping is much more difficult.

It's just that the time was a few decades earlier, so it's unclear what the situation in the valley is now. Whether they can find a suitable trapping place depends on their luck.

Several people still couldn't believe it, and Zhu Xuefeng couldn't explain or prove it. It was his second uncle who brought out the wild boar meat that made them believe it and said he would try it tomorrow and took the net with him.

The second aunt glared at the second uncle fiercely. Such a large piece of wild boar meat was enough to be eaten secretly for a long time. It is probably gone now. It will have to be eliminated in the big cafeteria tomorrow.

The second uncle understood the second aunt's little thoughts and was not angry.

"You old bitch, you are playing with the handle of a spoon. You have long hair but short knowledge. With the methods of my nephew, this little pork is nothing. When the time comes, there will be too much wild boar meat to choke you to death."

Instead, Zhu Xuefeng was left to dry. The two elders couldn't speak, so they had to pretend to be looking for something, took out the dried seafood and put it on the table.

"Second uncle, I brought this seafood for you. I can't teach you how to catch seafood."

The second uncle scratched his head in embarrassment. He couldn't quarrel with his eldest nephew anymore. Zhu Xuefeng pointed to several other bags.

"Whatever is reserved for Third Aunt, don't give it away."

He didn't bring much to begin with, he just wanted to help his second uncle and third aunt's family as much as possible. If he had to give them all away or hand them over, Zhu Xuefeng's escape would be in vain.

Each family has twenty kilograms of rice, five kilograms of wild boar, five kilograms of seafood, and half a kilogram of candy. This is a lot. If it were any more, I would not be able to survive on a small motorcycle.

The second uncle and second aunt didn't hesitate anymore, and the three of them chatted together for a while. Seeing that Zhu Xuefeng was running around for a day, he was probably exhausted, so he asked him to rest early and left.

Zhu Xuefeng kept walking in the yard for a while, but felt a little tired and took a rest early.

At dawn the next day, Zhu Xuefeng opened his eyes in a daze, and there were three little heads in front of him. He looked at the time, and it was almost eight o'clock. He was too sleepy, and he was bumping on the broken road for eight seconds. After many hours, you have to take a good rest.

The three younger siblings all looked at their eldest brother with wide eyes.

Erya is holding up a candy, and there should be one in his mouth.

"Brother, wake up and give you some candy. It's so sweet!"

Zhu Xuefeng took it, peeled it open, and put it in his mouth.

"Xiao Wu is right, it's so sweet."
