Restarting life in Siheyuan

Chapter 113 Bringing back a wild boar cub

I packed up and got ready to leave. I still have a tough ride today, and I don’t know if the scooter will give up. There were no major problems when I arrived, but there were still many minor problems. Fortunately, they were all easy to deal with.

"Eldest nephew, please wait a while before leaving. Your third aunt and uncle will come over soon. She specifically told her when she left yesterday."

Seeing Zhu Xuefeng packing up and preparing to leave after eating two nests of steamed buns, his second aunt quickly stopped him.

After a while, the third aunt and the younger uncle came, carrying several bags, a chicken, and more than ten eggs. Zhu Xuefeng couldn't help but smile.

"Eldest nephew, we don't have much valuable things in the mountains. You don't have any adults in the city, so we can't help you even if we want to. Bringing these things back is just a small token of appreciation from my aunt."

"Just some plums and mountain products, not valuable."

"Auntie, you are too unruly. My aunt is also pretending to be pregnant with these plums. These eggs will probably be broken before they reach home. And this chicken, why don't you keep it for laying eggs?"

Zhu Xuefeng repeatedly shied away. It was hard enough that both families were in the mountains. He could just forget about it if he couldn't help. But if he had to take it back, his conscience would hurt.

"We still have chickens at home. Let's take this one back and give it to the two little ones. Or we can raise it to lay eggs."

"Auntie, I really don't take this chicken with me. I only have two that lay eggs at home. This second uncle saw it with his own eyes."

Zhu Xuefeng turned to look at his second uncle, who nodded.

"I raised two laying hens and planted a small vegetable garden. The growth was pretty good."

This second uncle's words are too straightforward. What do you call acceptable? Wouldn't it be more comforting to say that he is good?

In the end, Zhu Xuefeng agreed to take the plums and mountain products away. Now it was better. Two bags of plums weighed more than 30 kilograms. No matter how sweet the plums were, they were a bit sour, which was too hard on the teeth.

"Zhu Laoer, is your eldest nephew gone?"

In the distance, a greeting came from outside the yard. It was the militia captain. It turned out that the team that went up the mountain was coming back. The more people they had, the stronger they were. They came back much faster this time, mainly because the pigs behind were smaller and easier to lift.

It turned out that the village party secretary said that this method was taught by Zhu Xuefeng, and the network was also provided by Zhu Xuefeng. Does he have to have a share of the pig? There is pork now, unlike last night, when a piece of pork was taken away.

Looking at the dark face of the old party secretary looking at him with a smile, this cunning old man must have no good ideas.

"Young man, tell me, we can't handle so many pigs. There aren't factories in this area as big as yours in the city, so it's probably not easy to sell them. Do you have any ideas? Please help."

Let the factory travel [-] kilometers to pull pigs?It was too unreliable. Besides, there were still a few pigs raised in the factory. Zhu Xuefeng felt agitated. The wild boars must be easy to sell. They were short of oil and meat. This old man always wanted to take advantage. Although it was for the sake of the village, Zhu Xuefeng still didn't like it.

"Old Secretary, do you think this will work? If you report directly to the district and say that there is wild boar meat for sale, the supply and marketing cooperative will probably come to collect it. There are no big factories in the district, but there are still 10,000+ people. This thing It’s not a big deal, you’re right.”

"Yes, that's the truth." The old party secretary didn't expect Zhu Xuefeng to have an idea so quickly, and was a little embarrassed.

Zhu Xuefeng understood that it was his fault that he had spoken too carefully that night. The old party secretary must have been eyeing the purchase price of the steel rolling mill. Indeed, the price they offered at that time was high, and the supply and marketing cooperative would not pay this price.

"Let's do this, old secretary. I will also pick a small pig and take it away. The price will be the same as I said, okay."

The second uncle's family still has to live here, so this little thought can't be exposed. It's better to buy a pig and return the favor openly.

"No, no, it's okay to give you one. This is all yours...".

I’m giving you one as a gift, but don’t take it seriously.

Since Zhu Xuefeng had made up his mind, he didn't waste any time, so the old secretary reluctantly agreed. In the end, Zhu Xuefeng spent 37 to buy the smallest one, only about [-] kilograms, and gave the hemp net to the village.

The old party secretary was grinning now, and the second uncle's waist was already pinched purple by the second aunt.

A big bag was put on the pig, its mouth was also tied, and it was placed horizontally on the pedal. "Uncle, aunt, uncle, sister-in-law, brothers and sisters, I will leave now. I will visit you again when I have the opportunity..."

When I got on the bike, my center of gravity was unsteady and tilted. I quickly fixed it and left. Several younger brothers and sisters chased me for a long distance until they could no longer be seen.

Find an opportunity and throw everything into space. It's easy now...

At around three o'clock in the afternoon, I arrived in the city, took out the wild boar cubs and packages from the space in advance, and drove slowly to the entrance of the courtyard.

Today is Saturday, and everyone will have a day off tomorrow, so I have to ask Silly Zhu to kill the pig.

He carried the sack containing the wild boar cub into the front yard. Fortunately, he picked the smallest one. Although the four hooves and mouth were tied, the wild boar cub was really difficult to hold when it struggled. Zhu Xuefeng was very strong, otherwise an adult would not be able to hold it. An eighty-pound live pig is really heavy.

Children from several households in the outer courtyard were playing in the outer courtyard, and when they saw the movement, they came over strangely.

"Brother Zhu, Uncle Zhu, what's in this bag? It's still moving." The children are quite different in age, and they all have different names.

Zhu Xuefeng struggled to push the sack upwards and hugged it tighter. He looked sideways and saw that they were all primary school students at home during the holidays and said with a smile.

"Here, there's a pig inside. It's just a wild boar, but it's dangerous. Don't touch it. It'll be dangerous if it escapes."

The closest child seemed to be the second son of the old Xiao family. I forgot what it was called. I was so frightened that I stopped and stopped moving forward. I had never seen it before, but I had heard of wild boars. They were indeed very dangerous.

After finally carrying her to the door, Aunt Zou was gluing a matchbox at the door and quickly stood up.

"Lao Zhu's son is back. You had a hard time on the road. I'm going to get you a glass of water. There must be no water at home."

After saying that, he put down his work and was about to go to the middle courtyard to pour water. Zhu Xuefeng quickly stopped him and pointed to the big sack and the group of boys surrounding him.

"Please help me keep an eye on this first. I'm afraid they'll cause trouble. There's a little wild boar inside. It's dangerous if no one is looking at it. Just keep an eye on it for a while and I'll move the car in."

Aunt Zou was startled. She saw that the bag was still bulging and the pig was grunting. It was indeed a pig.

"What a wild boar. Tie them all up. This thing is dangerous. Go and move things quickly. I'll keep an eye on you first."

He turned his head again and said seriously to the children.

"Don't open it. There's a wild boar inside. It can hurt people if it comes out."

At this time, the construction masters also gathered around, wanting to see something new. Not many people had seen a live wild boar.

"My boss is back. If you have anything else, we can move it for you. It's all done in one trip."

"Mr.

Zhu Xuefeng said hello and moved the motorcycle and other packages in in one go without any help.

Throw it all at the door and rest for a while before fussing with it again. The house is being dug and dug, and the roof is also being processed. It will be difficult to get in for a while. When Zhu Xuefeng came back, Aunt Zou went to the middle yard to pour water, and Zhu Xuefeng didn't stop her.

The trip was quite worthwhile. I found a lot of minor problems with this small motorcycle, including design flaws and assembly skills. There were also several minor problems in production. The drawings needed to be improved and some processing requirements had to be clarified.

After receiving the water, I looked at the house. The roof of Uncle Zou's house was finished. The heights of the roofs of the two houses are different. They have been re-paved now and they look at least a little more orderly.

Now I am digging soil in the house to lay water pipes. I have a skylight on my roof and all the tiles are neatly stacked in the open space in front of the small vegetable garden.

"Auntie, how have you been these past few days? I haven't disturbed the neighbors."
