Back in the 1980s, hiking in the mountains was also a way of life

Chapter 772 Half a Catty of Meat per Person

Although what Liu Guilan said made sense, Wang An could not be blamed for this matter.

After all, if those little crickets were left in the mountains, not a single one would be left, and they would be 100% certain to die.

Although there is no guarantee that the caught ones will survive, at least there is still some hope. If you can raise a few of them, you will have made a profit. Not only a profit, but a huge profit.

So after Liu Guilan finished speaking, Wang An said with a rogue look on his face:
"Mom, what do you say we should do? I don't have any idea. I can't just throw these little things back into the mountains, can I?"

When Liu Guilan saw Wang An's rogue behavior, she immediately became furious and hit Wang An's arm with a "bang". She said a little irritably:
"Look for Luo Lan for me every day. You came with your whole family, so you have to raise them yourself."

How could Wang An possibly keep this thing? Mainly because it didn't hurt when I beat him, so he said with a smile on his face:
"I won't raise one. How can I have the time? I'm so busy every day. I don't have time."

I have to say, with what Wang An said at this moment, coupled with his appearance, anyone who saw it would want to beat him up. The key point is that it was too damn infuriating.

And Liu Guilan was definitely the one who wanted to beat him up the most, no doubt about it.

Although Wang An's family had a lot of livestock, he seldom participated in tasks like feeding the livestock, and he didn't take it seriously. He would only take a look when he remembered occasionally.

Of course, Wang Dazhui and his wife and Mu Xueqing and their three friends don't need him either.

In fact, this situation is very common in every family, because each family member has his or her own responsibilities, and it is impossible for one person to do everything.

At Wang An's house, Wang Dazhu usually does the work of feeding the mules and horses, cleaning their feces, feeding the sheep, and cleaning the sheepfold.

Things like feeding pigs and chickens, cooking and washing clothes are usually done by Liu Guilan and Mu Xueqing.

But this refers to the high probability. If Wang Dazhu is not at home, the mules, horses, sheep and so on will be taken care of by Liu Guilan and Mu Xueqing.

So if nothing unexpected happens, the task of raising these little corn cobs that Wang An brought back will fall entirely on the shoulders of Liu Guilan and Mu Xueqing.

However, Mu Xueqing is still pregnant, so she must have to work much less. So one can imagine the pressure Liu Guilan is under.

As soon as Wang An finished speaking, Liu Guilan slapped Wang An on the arm again. Then, perhaps because she was still angry, Liu Guilan slapped Wang An again.

Then Liu Guilan cursed angrily:
"You bastard, I'm afraid your mother is idle."

Wang An just grinned, neither dodging nor responding. You can say whatever you want and I will do what I should do. It's enough for you to vent your anger.

I have to say, with Wang An's awesome look, no one can do anything to him.

After a while, Liu Guilan walked forward helplessly, looked at the small fringe sticks in the sack, picked up one and observed it for a while, then frowned and said with a troubled look on her face:
"They look like big rats. How can we feed them?"

As soon as Liu Guilan finished speaking, Wang An laughed subconsciously, but Liu Guilan soon looked at Wang An with vicious eyes again, and Wang An tried hard to hold back his smile.

Just say whatever you want to say. It's really uncomfortable to hold back your laughter.

Wang An noticed that the women had not taken the meat down yet, so he said to Second Mother Yao Ping:
"Second Mother, please take my sister-in-law and the others to take the meat down and stew it. Is there still no meat in the dinner?"

Upon hearing this, Second Mother Yao Ping immediately said:
"It's not the right time to put the meat in now. The dishes are already cooked and a lot of meat oil has been added."

When Wang An heard this, he thought for a moment and said:

"Then don't stew it. After that, the meat will be counted by the number of people, and each person will get half a pound. Let them take it home and stew it themselves."

After Wang An finished speaking, Second Mother Yao Ping said with a look of surprise:
"It's not worth it, Xiao An. It's okay to have a meal without meat. No one will gossip about it." After Yao Ping finished speaking, Aunt Xu Yongfeng also interrupted and said:
"Besides, we've been eating meat for three days in a row. Our Wang family is really nice. It's really bad to have to do this on any given day."

Although what Aunt Xu Yongfeng and Second Aunt Yao Ping said made sense, after all, the food at Wang An's house was not bad even without meat.

But Wang An noticed the expectant looks in Widow Li and Widow Zhao's eyes, thought for a moment and said with a smile:

"It's alright, ma'am, just do as I say. Anyone who comes to help today, regardless of whether they are from far away or children, will be given half a pound of meat per person."

After Wang An finished speaking, Widow Zhao and Widow Li both looked happy, but the others didn't seem to care much.

Mainly all the female comrades present, except for the two widows, the rest were from Old Wang's family.

Shen Wei could barely be considered a member of the Wang family, but no one would mention it openly.

Regardless of whether it is Wang An's eldest aunt's and second aunt's families, or the families of Wang An's three sisters-in-law, and of course Shen Wei's family, with the encouragement or help of Wang An's family, their lives are not bad now.

At the very least, it is much better than most families in the village.

And the most important thing is that Wang An, Wang Li and Mu Xueli would share some of the meat they brought back with their relatives, so these families were not short of food when it came to eating meat.

Liu Guilan didn't care about Wang An's decision, because what worried her most now were these little corn cobs.

Suddenly, Liu Guilan called out to Wang An:

"Xiao An, do you think we can keep this unharmed sow wild boar?"

When Wang An heard this, he pinched his nose and said:

"It's fine to raise it, but if it's a sow wild boar, can it raise these old little wild boars?"

Liu Guilan rolled her eyes at Wang An and said:

"There's nothing we can do about it. We'll just take care of the few who survive. Who told you to mess with this old Ye Hu?"

The correct pronunciation of the two words "Ye Hu" is actually "Nie Guo", which is considered a local dialect and refers to those things that require a lot of effort but the results may not necessarily be satisfactory.

Wang An shrugged his nose and said with a smile:

"You are the head of our family, so you can raise him if you want!"

When Liu Guilan heard this, she immediately rolled her eyes at Wang An and said:

"Get out of here. You're making me mad every day."

Wang An smiled and didn't respond. He turned around and greeted Wang Li:

"Old Five, didn't you hear what your aunt said? Let's take this pig to the pigpen."

Wang Li was watching the joke of the mother and daughter, so he smiled at Liu Guilan and then responded to Wang An:
"Okay, Fourth Brother."

As he spoke, Wang An led the horse towards the pigpen.
