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

Chapter 970 Huge Progress
Time flies and a few days have passed.

During these days, apart from eating and sleeping, Wang An has been training the four eagles.

The reason why Wang An could concentrate on training eagles was that he no longer had to take care of livestock or do odd jobs at home.

That was because on the second day after Wang An started training eagles, Widow Zhao, also known as Zhao Cuiyun, came to visit again.

Because Mu Xueqing had discussed with Wang An before about Zhao Cuiyun coming to work at home, and later, Wang An and his wife also talked about this matter with Wang Dazhui and his wife, and got the consent of the old couple.

So Mu Xueqing kept Zhao Cuiyun.

The main reason why Wang Dazhui and his wife agreed was because there were too many miscellaneous chores to do at home.

Mu Xueqing couldn't do any work because of her pregnancy, and Wang An was either tinkering with this or that all day long. As for Wang Yi, although he could also work, he was a student after all, and school was about to start.

This meant that the old couple not only had to take care of the crops, but also the livestock at home and tend to the vegetable garden, etc., which really stretched them a bit.

So after Wang An's persuasion, the old couple agreed without thinking.

Zhao Cuiyun's salary, as Wang An said, was 15 yuan a month, with one meal provided at noon.

As for Shen Wei, it was different, because Shen Wei only earned 30 yuan a month and could eat as much as she wanted.

After all, Shen Wei has been helping with the work at Wang An's house since they started building the house, and Shen Wei's family's meals are basically solved at Wang An's house. In other words, Wang An's family has long been accustomed to the existence of Shen Wei and Xiao Lai's mother and daughter.

In fact, Wang An originally wanted to give Shen Wei 25 yuan a month, but when he talked about this with Wang Dazhu and his wife, Liu Guilan wanted to give 30 yuan.

Although Wang An was a little confused, he nodded and agreed after a moment of hesitation.

5 yuan was a considerable sum of money for others in that era, but for Wang An, it was really nothing.

Besides, Shen Wei's job is really hard. Not only does she have to help Wang An's family with housework, but she also has to help Wang An solve his physiological problems frequently. There is nothing wrong with giving her 5 yuan more.

Later, when Mu Xueqing went to the toilet, Liu Guilan said to Wang An in a veiled way:

"Shen Wei is following you for no clear reason, so you have to give her some protection, right?"

To be honest, when Liu Guilan said this, Wang An was completely confused, because it was obvious that Liu Guilan was treating Shen Wei as Wang An's second wife.

Just as Wang An was organizing his words and trying to explain himself, Wang Dazhu glared at him fiercely and said:

"How could our Wang family produce a bastard like you?"

After Wang Dazhu finished speaking, Liu Guilan gave Wang An a cold look.

It can be seen that Wang Dazhu and his wife are very disgusted with their son's behavior of "keeping the red flag flying at home and the colorful flags flying outside".

However, there is an old saying that goes, "A son grows up and is no longer under the control of his mother." So although Wang Dazhu and his wife knew about their son's adulterous behavior and couldn't stand it, they could do nothing except scold Wang An and beat him a few times.

Maybe all parents in the world are the same. No matter who has such a son, they will be helpless.

The old couple looked so unhappy that Wang An was too upset to say anything.

In this way, the two widows, Shen Wei and Zhao Cuiyun, became the first employees of Wang An's family.

I have to say that most people in this era are very honest. They take your money and work for you without any adulteration. Of course, this is also because it is very difficult to work and earn money in this era. If you finally find a job that can make money, you must cherish it.

Therefore, ever since Zhao Cuiyun came to work at Wang An's house, Wang An's yard has become much cleaner and tidier than before.

With Shen Wei and Zhao Cuiyun coming to work at home, Wang Dazhu and his wife immediately had a lot of free time.

To be honest, this is what Wang An wants to see most.

Without the distraction of household chores, Wang An can concentrate on training the four eagles.

It may be because of the spiritual powder, or it may be because the falcon training method on the silk cloth is very awesome.

In short, the four eagles have made tremendous progress in these days.

Not only have they all learned to fly, but most importantly, they have begun to try hunting.

When it comes to eagle hunting, it may be like a cat knowing how to catch mice from birth; it is a nature hidden in the eagle's bones.

Because Wang An put in a lot of effort when he forced the four eagles to learn to fly a few days ago.

Not only did they train on the roof at the beginning, but in the following days, Wang An also took them to a nearby rocky mountain for training.

After several days of continuous training, the four eagles finally learned the skills they were supposed to have, which was free flying.

But when Wang An wanted to teach them how to hunt according to the methods on the silk cloth, he found it was effortless.

The most outstanding ones are Da Cang and Xiao Cang.

Wang An just chased a group of silly half-pounds for a while, and then Da Cang and Xiao Cang flew out together, each catching a silly half-pound that was still flapping its wings and came back.

Wang An was very happy at that time.

However, Dajin and Xiaojin, who were placed high hopes by Wang An, were somewhat slow to react. It was not until Wang An fed the meat strips to Dacang and Xiaocang that Dajin and Xiaojin realized what they should do.

But what made Wang An laugh and cry was that Da Jin's first prey was a mountain rat, while Xiao Jin's first prey was a big-eyed thief.

In order to reward the four of them and also to stimulate their bloodiness, Wang An tore the mountain rat and the big-eyed thief into pieces according to the method on the silk cloth, and fed them the bloody strips of meat.

It must be said that the method of raising eagles on silk cloth is actually quite ruthless or even cruel.

Because it takes more than two years from the first day of raising a hawk, the hawk's owner must never let the hawk learn to eat alone.

Even after two years, try not to let the eagle learn to eat alone.

To put it bluntly, not only does the eagle need to be fed by its owner when it is hungry, but even if the eagle catches prey, it does not know how to get it into its mouth and can only be fed by its owner.

The reason for doing this is mainly to control the eagle and prevent it from learning to be completely independent, so that the eagle will not come back after flying away.

You have to know that the normal life span of an eagle is more than 60 years. How ruthless and cruel is this method of controlling eagles? I dare not even think about it.
