Xing'an Mountains 1984: Starting from climbing mountains to support the family

Chapter 120: Dad, let's take a ride
Chen Weidong skinned the blind bear from its front legs with the knife he carried with him, while Li Shengli started from its hind legs, with Shitou and Bingzi helping them.

Liu Xueting also brought water. She could only carry two bowls by herself. When Da Ni saw this, she quickly called Er Ni.

The two little girls ran over to help their mother, and the other little ones followed with their short legs to help, but due to their small size, they were powerless!

"Dad, drink water!"

Da Ni brought the bowl to Chen Weidong and said, Er Ni also brought another bowl to Li Shengli: "Uncle Shengli, drink some water!"

Li Shengli took it with a smile.

"My two older daughters are so sensible!"

Chen Weidong took the water happily. The water was not hot, so he drank it up.

When returning from Laoyinggou, most of the journey was done by dog-drawn sled, but there were some long distances that still required four people to carry it, especially some difficult roads, which really made Chen Weidong and the other three people try their best. If he didn't have a lot of things to deal with at the moment, he really wanted to lie down on the kang and not get up.

"Dad, we can't lift it!" Sanni said in a baby voice.

"Third sister is right. Si Ni is also very sensible. She even helped mom with work today."

"And, Wu Ni!"

"Dad~"

"Okay, okay! You are all sensible."

Chen Weidong smiled helplessly. Children are like this. Even the youngest want to be praised. Chen Weidong just praised her casually and the little one would be happy for a while.

"Okay, your dad and the others are working, don't make trouble." Liu Xueting came over and sent the six little girls away.

“Weidong, you little girls are so thoughtful!”

Li Shengli exclaimed.

"Haha, they just want to be praised!"

Chen Weidong said with a smile.

After drinking the water, the four of them started working again. After a while, they peeled out a complete bear skin.

Chen Weidong then turned the bear skin over, hung it on a wooden board, and began to scrape off the fat on the bear skin bit by bit.

This is good stuff. The fat can be scraped off and boiled into bear oil.

Li Shengli then cut off the bear's nose, horns and paws, which were the most valuable parts of the bear.

Shitou and Bingzi were not idle either. They started to remove the bones, cut the bear meat into pieces and threw them into a basin on the side.

Blind Bear is full of treasures, bear meat and bear oil are also good things, and even bear bones are worth some money.

However, Chen Weidong did not plan to sell everything. He planned to share bear meat and bear oil with Li Shengli and the other two.

This blind bear weighs at least four or five hundred kilograms. After removing the internal organs and blood, it would still weigh more than four hundred kilograms. If you remove some of the bones, it would probably be around three hundred kilograms.

Chen Weidong contributed the most and took the lion's share. He kept dozens of kilograms of the best fat and dozens of kilograms of lean meat, which added up to about eighty or ninety kilograms. The rest was divided among Li Shengli and the other two. Each of them could get about sixty or seventy kilograms of bear meat.

There were also some bear bones that were removed, and Chen Weidong took most of them. He planned to grind some of the bear bones into powder and make them into dog food. Bear bones are better than wolf bones. There are four puppies at home.

If they grow up eating the bones of these ferocious beasts, who knows how fierce they will be in the future. Just thinking about it, Chen Weidong is looking forward to how ferocious the adult dragons will be.

As for the bear gall, bear skin, bear paw, bear nose, and bear horn, Chen Weidong planned to go to Hajiang City after a while to sell them.
Hajiang City - Chen Weidong often went there to sell mountain products in his previous life, so he was quite familiar with it, especially the Hajiang Medicinal Materials Company in Hajiang City, which specialized in purchasing bear bile and bear noses, which were materials that could be used as medicine, at high prices.

Then Chen Weidong divided the flying dragons, pheasants, and hares among the four people.
As for the two yellow muntjacs, Chen Weidong planned to sell them in the next two days. Wild yellow muntjacs are too difficult to raise, otherwise Chen Weidong really wanted to raise them.

Then Li Shengli and his two companions went home happily, each carrying dozens of kilograms of bear meat, and carrying flying dragons, pheasants and rabbits.

After Li Shengli and the other two left, Chen Weidong's family became busy again.

Liu Xueting boiled some hot water and started to scald the chicken feathers. Then Dani and her sisters started plucking the feathers of Feilong and the pheasant.

"Pull, pull, pull!"

"After you pull them out, you can eat chicken legs! Eat chicken legs~"

Si Ni was very energetic. While pulling, she hummed in a baby voice.

Chen Weidong was also happy when he heard this. While Liu Xueting was processing the bear meat, he continued to skin the rabbit!
……

"Weidong is finally done, go change into some clean clothes!"

As soon as Chen Weidong came out of the cellar, Liu Xueting walked up to him and said, "Si Ni and Wu Ni, the two little girls, followed Liu Xueting happily, holding Chen Weidong's cotton jacket and trousers."

"Dad, change your clothes quickly, you are dirty."

Si Ni said in a baby voice.

"Uh-huh."

The little girl Wu Ni nodded vigorously.

Chen Weidong smiled and took the clothes from the two little ones. After changing them, Sanni took a basin and asked Chen Weidong to put the dirty clothes into the basin.

"Weidong, what do you want to eat?"

"Dad, Mom asked what you want to eat?"

Wu Ni is like a microphone.

"The bear meat we just hunted today, you haven't eaten bear meat yet, of course we eat bear meat!"

Chen Weidong said with a smile.

"But, I've never cooked bear meat."

Liu Xueting hesitated.

"Hey, don't you still have your man? I'll make braised bear meat."

Chen Weidong said with a smile. Actually, he had never cooked bear meat before, but that didn't matter. Bear meat tasted fresh and slightly gamey. It wouldn't get hard even if it cooled down. It was delicious whether it was stewed or grilled.

"Dad, I'll cook for you!"

Dani said.

"Dad, where's Sini? Sini can work, too."

"Wuni, I want to help too."

The two little ones, Si Ni and Wu Ni, also joined in the fun.

As for Erni and Sanni, they were much more obedient. They sat by the stove with their eldest sister and helped Liuni to cook.

The two little kids joined in the fun, which made Chen Weidong feel overwhelmed. However, when he saw Liu Xueting preparing to wash clothes, Chen Weidong smiled and said, "You two, follow your mother to wash clothes!"

"Woo~"

The two little guys ran over happily, brought two small stools to the main room, and imitated Liu Xueting, and started working enthusiastically.
But they definitely couldn't wash it, so Chen Weidong's goal was to send the two little kids out to play, so that they wouldn't make trouble.

Liu Xueting also smiled helplessly. She took another basin, poured some hot water, put Chen Weidong's cotton pants in it, and let the two little guys play by themselves.

Although the temperature in Northeast China is over 30 degrees below zero, it does not hinder washing clothes. Generally, clothes are washed with hot water and hung in the yard to dry. They will freeze the next day and then be placed on the kang for a while. Generally, clothes will dry quickly, but it will take longer if it is a cotton-padded jacket.

He soaked the bear meat and then steamed it with sorghum rice.

After a while, Chen Weidong took out the bear meat and cleaned it.

Then we start to braise the bear meat, and the process is similar to that of braising the wolf meat.

After a while, Liu Xueting had already hung the cotton jacket on the clothesline, and the two little kids were holding Chen Weidong's cotton pants and rubbing them with all their might.

"Dad, I'm so tired! Si Ni can't wash anymore."

The two little guys were grunting and rubbing their clothes hard with their little hands.

As Si Ni spoke, she blinked her big watery eyes at Chen Weidong who had just come out of the kitchen.

This obviously meant asking him for help. After all, these two little breast dumplings were so awesome.

Chen Weidong not only chose to ignore them, but came over to cheer them on. After Chen Weidong's words, the two little guys were full of energy, and he and Liu Xueting smiled at each other.

It is so fun to play with the little darlings, especially the two little darlings Si Ni and Wu Ni.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Chen Weidong went into the kitchen again and lifted the lid of the pot.

Sure enough, the water in the pot had boiled and was steaming.

The aroma of stewed bear meat also wafted out from the kitchen and filled the yard.

"smell good!"

When they smelled the aroma of meat, the two little kids suddenly lost their enthusiasm and ran to the kitchen happily.

"Wow! Dad! It smells so good!"

Si Ni poked her little head into the pot.

Chen Weidong smiled when he saw the two little guys deserting their posts and running towards him.

"Dad, Sini wants to eat."

Si Ni said in a baby voice. As she spoke, she sipped her saliva. Si Ni's cute look made Chen Weidong laugh.

"You little snacker!"

"Si Ni, your belly is the little foodie!" Si Ni touched her belly and said in a baby voice. "Hey! Si Ni has now learned to blame her belly, this clever little thing."

"Wait a minute, Daddy isn't done yet!"

The two little kids stopped working and just stared at the stove.

~

Soon the braised bear meat was ready. It was already dark, and under the kerosene lamp, the family of eight began to eat.

The bear soup is a bit like old duck soup, slightly sour, and the bear meat is very delicious and melts in the mouth. The little guys eat it with gusto.

After dinner, Chen Weidong fed the dogs at home.

Liu Xueting went to wash the pots and dishes, and then started to boil water.

I’m going to give Liu Ni a bath today!

So they lit the stove and Liu Ni sat in the basin of water.

The little girls gathered around the basin, all smiling as they looked at the naked Xiaoliu.

Xiaoliu was also awake, and was amused by her sisters, making her giggle. She moved her hands and feet around and had a lot of fun.

After giving the little ones a bath, Chen Weidong also took a bath and lay down on the kang.

Chen Weidong was probably too tired. He fell asleep after lying on the kang for a while.

I slept until about ten o'clock the next day.

"Dad, get up and eat."

Chen Weidong was sleeping soundly and felt someone crawling on him. When he wanted to open his eyes to see clearly, suddenly a butt sat on his head.

"Fuck! Who is it? Want to suffocate her dad?"

"Haha, Dad, sit on the big horse!"

Then, another person sat down, and at the same time, another person sat down on him.

"Giggle..."

At the same time, several silver bell-like laughs were heard.

Chen Weidong finally saw clearly that it was Wu Ni who was sitting on his head. The little girl sat on his head, and San Ni was sitting on his stomach.

Si Ni was about to climb onto the kang! It was obvious that she wanted to ride too.

Chen Weidong took Wu Ni off his head, and then clamped San Ni with his legs: "You still want to ride the big horse, I caught two ponies! You can't run away!"

“Hehehe…Daddy, let me go, let me go!”

Sanni and Wuni both struggled violently, but how could they escape?

"Third sister, fifth sister, Fourth sister is here to save you!"

Si Ni also climbed onto the bed at this time. She was very smart and did not choose to pry Chen Weidong's legs or hands, but directly tickled him.

Of course Chen Weidong was not afraid, but he pretended to be very scared and quickly hid inside, which instantly caused the children to burst into laughter.

Chen Weidong grabbed Si Ni with one hand, and reached out with the other hand to hold Wu Ni in his arms as well, "Hahaha, I caught another pony!"

"Hehe, Daddy, let me go!"

"Ah, I want to go out!"

"Oh, Daddy, your legs are so heavy!"

Chen Weidong rubbed his hands and feet on them, making the three children giggle.

"Dad, it's time to eat."

At this time, Erni also came in and called for dinner.

Only then did Chen Weidong let go of the three little guys.

But the three little guys were unwilling to let him go, and suddenly they wrapped themselves around him like three little kangaroos.

Chen Weidong put on his clothes and simply threw Wu Ni over his shoulders. Then he held San Ni in one hand and Sini in the other and took them to the kitchen.

The door was a little low, and Chen Weidong was afraid of hitting Wu Ni's head, so he walked over while squatting.

Wu Ni kept yelling, "Gee, gee, gee, ride the big horse!"

"Get up! It really proves the old saying, you are riding on your father's head!"

Liu Xueting saw it and smiled.

Chen Weidong put Sanni and Sini down and prepared to put Xiaowu down, but Xiaowu refused, "No, Dad, I still want to ride the big horse..."

"Just sit there once! Do you really think your father is a horse?"

Chen Weidong smiled and took her down. She wanted to stay in Chen Weidong's arms again, so he threw her on the seat next to him. "Be good, Daddy hasn't held your sister yet!"

As he said this, he took Xiaoliu from Dani's arms and kissed her on the face.

Xiaoliu grinned and saliva flowed out from the corners of his mouth.

"Oops! You're drooling again!"

Chen Weidong stretched out his fingers and wiped it clean for her.

"You eat, I'll hold you."

Liu Xueting served the rice and put down the chopsticks.

Because Chen Weidong got up late, he didn't finish cooking until 10 o'clock today, which was equivalent to eating two meals a day like before, eating breakfast and lunch together.

Liu Xueting served the meal and put down the chopsticks. "Would you like some wine?"

"Hey? What's wrong with Xueting today? She actually asked me to drink?" Chen Weidong was very surprised.

"It's cold! It's only right to drink a little, and we've been so hard these past two days."

Then she asked the children, "Dad, is it hard?"

“Thank you, Dad!”

Several children answered in unison.

Chen Weidong said happily: "In that case, I should have a drink."

"Daughter-in-law, do you want some?"

Chen Weidong took a bite of the dish and handed the cup to Liu Xueting.

"Take a sip, it tastes good."

Liu Xueting was stunned for a moment. Chen Weidong had never let her drink before.

"tastes good?"

Liu Xueting has never drunk alcohol since she was a child. Some people say it is good, while others say it is the culprit. In the south, many men hate women drinking alcohol these days.
This man actually asked himself if he wanted to drink?
She pursed her lips.

She didn't know what was going on, but she nodded unexpectedly.

Chen Weidong knew what was going on, so he poured a little and handed it over.

Liu Xueting picked it up curiously and took a sip.

Suddenly.

A long and spicy taste surged down his throat in an instant.

"Daughter-in-law, hurry up and eat some food!"

Chen Weidong quickly picked up a piece of meat with chopsticks for her. He didn't care about anything else at this moment and took a bite. Finally, he came to his senses.

Her face was crimson, and even her neck was covered with fine pink.

"Okay, so spicy."

She fanned herself with her hands and glanced at Chen Weidong.

Her apricot eyes were filled with water.

Chen Weidong took a bite of the food and said with a smile, "Wait a minute. This is wine made from grains. It won't make you drunk. Don't worry."

"It doesn't taste good at all."

Liu Xueting thought to herself that she actually knew that even if she had never eaten pork, she had seen pigs run. But since Chen Weidong asked her to drink, she wanted to obey.

"Dad, does it taste good?"

The little girl Si Ni was standing nearby. When she heard that Chen Weidong tasted good, she looked up with her two big round eyes.
