Return to 1983: Starting from hunting in the mountains

Chapter 83 Chenjiazhai, eldest sister Lu Mei
  A bowl of noodles would definitely not be enough for Lu Jiansheng. He would not treat himself badly if he had money, let alone his wife and children.

After he finished one bowl, he decisively ordered two more bowls! !
  Bai Ruoxi: "?? Forget it, let it be whatever he says! Just now she wanted to save some food."

Not a moment.

Bai Ruoxi also ate everything, even the soup.

Look at the two little breast dumplings again.

I was so satisfied with my meal that I licked all the soup on my lips cleanly.

Is Tangtang Xixi full? "

Lu Jiansheng asked with a smile.

The four of them ate a total of six bowls of noodles. Of course, he ate three bowls alone, and the rest was given to Bai Ruoxi and the two little guys.

When the two little guys heard this, they grinned brightly.

…………

He was delighted.

Bai Ruoxi remained silent.

Xixi, on the other hand, burped very cooperatively.

The eldest sister saw that she was someone who knew how to do business, so she immediately brushed it off.

Immediately afterwards, the family of four returned to the yard.

After dinner, settle the bill

As soon as he heard that Lu Jiansheng was here to buy coarse grains, he immediately answered,

Soon Lu Jiansheng came to Liu Fugui's yard,

"Satiated~"

Bai Ruoxi feels sorry for money.

It's just that for people, whole grains are not as delicious as fine grains.

She quickly shook her head, held her belly up, and let Lu Jiansheng take a look.

Lu Jiansheng drove a donkey cart with his wife and children back to Liuligouzi Village.

Hearing the price of the noodles,

The little guy smiled sheepishly, his little face flushed.

Fifty miles of road,
  It was about five o'clock in the afternoon when the donkey cart arrived.

As soon as Lu Jiansheng tied the donkey up, Tangtang Xixi hugged the puppy! I ran over and fed it some fodder.
  This made the little donkey very happy after a long day's work. He kept saying, ah! --Well! Ah-uh! They kept shouting, while Tangtang and Xixi were laughing happily.

"Xixi's belly is already bulging."

"Sister, how much is it?"

Lu Jiansheng took advantage of the situation and drove his donkey to the grain station to buy some polished rice and noodles. With a donkey cart, he didn't have to worry about the inconvenience of transporting back too much.

Can you not feel bad?
  With this money, I can buy several kilograms of flour, and how many bowls of noodles can I make?
  "Just get used to it from now on."

"Dad, touch it! Dudu says it can't eat anymore."

"It's only ninety-six cents in total, just give me ninety cents!"

Lu Jiansheng smiled and stood up to pay.

Dabao, his bastards, and Lao Hei came over wagging their tails.

Now Liu Fugui was very polite to him and welcomed him in immediately.

Tangtang smiled with crooked eyebrows.

"Sure enough, my belly is bulging!"

See the master come back,

But after watching the donkey work for a day, he also bought some fodder for the little donkey!
  Then he drove the donkey cart! Then he rushed home.

He joked: "I feel bad about money again."

Lu Jiansheng smiled.

"Didn't Xixi say it was so much? How about dad order you a bowl?"

I didn’t feel anything before, but these white dragons are growing very fast! My food intake doubled, and I bought Lao Hei and two old hens.
  This is all money! Spend what should be spent and save what should not be spent. Moreover, coarse grains actually contain various trace elements that refined grains do not have. In fact, it is better for humans and dogs to eat.

Tangtang Xixi hugged a puppy alone!

Lu Jiansheng then went out,
  He planned to go to Liu Fugui to buy some coarse grains.
  Whole grains are cheap! It is too wasteful to let your dog eat refined food every day.

He made a big circle.

Lu Jiansheng turned around and saw her frown.

Soon Lu Jiansheng bought more than ten kilograms of coarse grains from Liu Fugui. The price was three or four cents cheaper than the usual fine grains.

Lu Jiansheng stretched out his hand and lightly scratched the bridge of Xixi's nose.

Don't underestimate these three or four points. You must know that a pound of fine rice these days is only a little more than ten cents.

Waiting for Lu Jiansheng to return home with the food,

It was almost past five o'clock, and Bai Ruoxi was in the kitchen preparing to cook.

Lu Jiansheng put the food in the kitchen. Seeing that nothing happened, he returned to the main room and took out the Type 56 semi-automatic rifle.

Taking out another piece of rabbit skin, he skillfully disassembled the five or six halves into parts one by one.

Then use rabbit skin to wipe one part one by one.

You must know that the gun needs regular maintenance. Wiping is just the simplest maintenance, and this is not the main purpose.

Many people may not know that gun cleaning is to clean the gunpowder in the firearm.

You must know that when shooting, gunpowder will be left in the firearm, and the gunpowder left behind is likely to explode when shooting.

The gunpowder in the bullet also has a corrosive effect. If left in the firearm for a long time, it will corrode some internal parts. Over time, the use of the firearm will be affected to a certain extent, and the gun may even jam.

For hunters traveling in the mountains, if they encounter a ferocious beast and their gun jams, this is fatal...

Lu Jiansheng has always been a man who cherishes his life, and for the sake of his wife and daughter, he cannot be careless.

Therefore, not only would he take out the gun and clean it from time to time, Lu Jiansheng wiped it very carefully, cleaning it part by part, and then assembled it.

After assembling the five and six halves, Lu Jiansheng pulled the bolt of the gun, put the butt of the gun on his shoulder, and aimed around to check the crosshairs of the gun.

Two little guys! Also came over

Watch with him!

Guns are very common these days, and the two little guys are not afraid of them.

"You two are not allowed to touch each other secretly!"

Lu Jiansheng reminded.

"Dad, Xixi doesn't like guns, Xixi likes to eat, eat delicious food."

"Tangtang likes it too."

The two little guys said seriously.

Lu Jiansheng: "..."

Soon the meal was ready, one bowl of hot white rice for each person, and two meat dishes.

Yesterday, at Lu Jiansheng's instruction, Bai Ruoxi also fried some venison.

Venison is a high-grade game, with delicate meat and delicious taste. It is mainly lean meat. Although it is lean meat, it tastes much better than beef. Not to mention nutritionally, it is very nutritious and has no side effects. , unlike leopard meat.

If it is used to make dumplings, add some pork belly, shepherd's purse and various seasonings, and the taste will be even better.

Give it a try another day.

After dinner,
  Lu Jiansheng raised the flames again because Bai Ruoxi wanted to give the two little guys a bath.
  It's cold these days, so I warm myself by the fire and take a bath.

The two little guys were naked, and Lu Jiansheng couldn't help but pat them.

Provoking a cry of milk.

Bai Ruoxi found a clean change of clothes, and the little guy played for a while.

Since Tangtang Xixi had been riding in a donkey cart for a whole day, she fell asleep not long after taking a shower.

"Jiansheng..."

Bai Ruoxi looked at Lu Jiansheng who was about to go to the kitchen to boil water but hesitated to speak.

Lu Jiansheng stopped immediately, turned to look at Bai Ruoxi in confusion and asked, "What's wrong? Why didn't you stop talking before you finished speaking?"

"nothing……"

Bai Ruoxihan replied hesitantly.

He stood up and looked at her, looking into her eyes carefully.

She obviously had something to say to herself just now,
  Bai Ruoxi subconsciously turned her head, pursed her lips, and finally, under Lu Jiansheng's direct gaze, she said, "Now our family is no longer short of food, but the food we borrowed from eldest sister has not been returned yet!

And although the situation at my eldest sister's house was much better than ours before, she couldn't eat meat even once a year, and she often helped us. I want to take my children to visit tomorrow, why are we going up the mountain tomorrow? "

"What should I do? I originally planned to visit my eldest sister in a few days."

Lu Jiansheng smiled bitterly.

Who else is the eldest sister Bai Ruoxi is talking about besides his own eldest sister Lu Mei?

The bottle of rapeseed oil at home was sent by Lu Mei. Lu Jiansheng remembered it clearly.

Moreover, he had to rely on the help of his brother-in-law and his family to survive the food shortage at home. The brother-in-law and his family were really kind to him. Lu Jiansheng was also very grateful. He would occasionally go over to help when the farming season was busy.
  In fact, I have long wanted to visit my brother-in-law and his family. It's just that he has been busy hunting to make money, and his brother-in-law's family is not close, but now that there is a donkey cart, Bai Ruoxi mentioned it again, and it was time to go and see it.

"Go tomorrow and bring some meat."

Lu Jiansheng said slowly.

"real."

Bai Ruoxi said happily that she had a good relationship with Lu Mei.

"Of course it's true. I can still lie to you. Let's go together as a family tomorrow."

"Ruoxi, if something happens to you in the future, just tell me directly. We are husband and wife."

"Ah."

Bai Ruoxi nodded!
  …………

The next day.

Lu Jiansheng got up early in the morning and was going to his eldest sister's house today. Even though he had lived a long time, he was too excited to sleep much.

In Lu Jiansheng's memory, he has not seen his eldest sister Lu Mei for "more than forty years". It is estimated that not many people will understand the feeling of meeting her soon.

He remembered that his brother-in-law's family was located in Chenjiazhai, the southernmost part of the township, bordering Yulin County and about 20 miles away from Liliuligouzi Village.

Brother-in-law Chen Youde is an honest farm man. Although he is not good-looking, he treats his eldest sister well. They have two children, a son and a daughter who are now fifteen or sixteen years old. Brother-in-law Chen Youde is the third eldest in the family, and the family has been separated.

Considering that he was going to his brother-in-law's house, Lu Jiansheng packed the unfinished marinated ribs, two kilograms of venison and two marinated hares, as well as three or four kilograms of grain.

After a while, Tangtang and Xixi also woke up. The two little guys were obviously very excited when they knew they were going to their aunt's house.

Because every time the aunt comes, they can have enough to eat.

I will also bring them delicious food.

After the family had eaten, they packed up, locked the door at almost nine o'clock, and drove the donkey cart to Chenjiazhai.

A family of four, driving a donkey cart,

After almost an hour, Tangtang asked in a sweet voice, "Mom, how long does it take to get to my aunt's house?"

"It's just ahead." Bai Ruoxi said, pointing to a small village under the ridge in front.

Lu Jiansheng remembered that the fourth door ahead was the home of his brother-in-law Chen Youde.

Seeing that he was about to see Lu Mei, Lu Jiansheng felt inexplicably nervous.

"what happened?"

Bai Ruoxi on the side noticed something was wrong with Lu Jiansheng.

"No, I just remembered something."

Lu Jiansheng explained that soon a family of four arrived at Chenjiazhai.
