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

Chapter 211: Tsundere Xiaoliu, training a golden eagle cub

Several young girls came to Chen Guangtian one after another, waiting to be fed by Chen Guangtian like hungry chicks!

It is said that generations apart are close to each other. Chen Guangtian looked at his lovely granddaughters and couldn't stop smiling.
The family talked and laughed, ate and drank.

However, they didn't drink too much. Chen Weidong drank quite a lot with Bingzi and his wife, and Shitou and his wife at noon.
Liu Xueting was staring at him eagerly, and Chen Guangtian was too embarrassed to urge Chen Weidong to drink in front of his daughter-in-law.

Therefore, Chen Weidong only drank two small cups. He also did not urge his father and elder brother to drink, but invited them to eat meat and vegetables.

After the show, my mother Wu Xiuqin and sister-in-law Yang Xuehua wanted to stay and help clean up.

Chen Weidong persuaded them to leave. After the meal, it was already dark and there was not much food, just bowls and chopsticks for a dozen people and a pot.

Time passed quickly, and two days passed in the blink of an eye.

Sure enough, a woman's mouth is like the waistband of an old lady's cotton trousers. It needs to be as loose as possible.

During lunch that day, Chen Weidong casually mentioned the matter of Big Claws, and as a result, many people knew about it the next day.

By the third day, the entire Jiuqu Village knew the news that Big Claw had appeared in Panchang Mountain.

When Chen Weidong found out, he realized that it was Bingzi's wife Zheng Xiaofang who spread the news. Zheng Xiaofang told Third Aunt, and when Third Aunt told the old ladies in the village, everyone in the village knew about it.

Chen Weidong was also at a loss whether to laugh or cry, but they did not plan to go tiger hunting as it was now prohibited. Of course, the key point was that tigers were too dangerous. Life was getting better and better now and there was no need to take risks like before!
The news of the treasure from the deer's antlers also spread.

This was not something Zheng Xiaofang let slip, but Chen Weidong deliberately left dozens of deer horns uncut into pieces and brought them back intact.

It was seen by the villagers who came to visit, and naturally spread.

It doesn't matter if the news gets out. The swamp in front of the Black Mountain has thawed anyway and is now inaccessible, and they don't know where they dug so many deer antlers.

Therefore, many people in the village came to him to inquire about the news, but Chen Weidong and his three companions all said in unison that the treasure was dug out from an unknown barren mountain in front of Woniu Valley.

The barren mountains on the other side of Woniugou are beyond the territory of Laoheishan Mountain and are also an extremely dangerous area. Although everyone does not believe it, they have no choice but to accept it.

I wanted to follow Chen Weidong and the others into the mountains, but Chen Weidong had already stopped going into the mountains.

Every day I take care of the kids at home, run the farm, brush deer antlers, and make deer antler glue.

Occasionally, some distant relatives would come to Chen Weidong's house. This really proves the saying that if you are poor in a downtown area, no one will care about you, but if you are rich in the mountains, you will have distant relatives. Of course, this is also human nature. When Chen Weidong's family was poor, he asked others to borrow food, so he was also a distant relative in the eyes of others.

Chen Weidong didn't care about these relatives and treated them to good wine and food.

Northeastern people are hospitable. When guests come to their homes, as long as they are not bad guests, they will be warmly entertained, not to mention relatives! Of course, Chen Weidong is not a good person. He will just give you a free meal and drink. If there is no urgent matter or other requests, then forget it!
Young wives and old ladies in the village would come over from time to time to borrow sewing machines, listen to the radio, etc. Therefore, Chen Weidong's home was very lively.
Li Shengli, Shitou, and Bingzi come here every day, some fetch water, some wash the antlers,

Chen Weidong built two temporary earthen stoves near the south wall.

Pieces of deer antlers were soaking in the pot on the earthen stove.

Chen Weidong is responsible for this step, soaking, stirring, changing water, continuing to soak, continuing to stir, continuing to change water, continuing to soak, and then boiling the deer antlers into deer antler glue.

This job is enough to keep him busy, and he is no less busy than other people.

And so, I am busy every day.

In the blink of an eye, it is April. The winter in Northeast China has completely ended in April this year. The snow has melted, the ice in the river has thawed, the willow branches have sprouted, the grass has broken through the soil, the spring breeze blows, and all things come back to life!
On this day, early in the morning, before dawn, Chen Weidong opened his eyes and saw Xiaoliu staring at him with a pair of eyes that were clearly black and white, big and bright.

Seeing Chen Weidong looking at her, she paused for a moment, then suddenly burst into tears.

Chen Weidong knew that the little girl had probably peed, so he gently picked up Xiaoliu and found that she had peed!

I changed her diaper and then put her back on the kang.
"You little rascal, you weren't crying just now, but now you wet the bed and start crying when you see daddy!"

"father!"

Xiaoliu called out in a baby voice.

"You can't even call me daddy. If you wet the bed again, I'll spank you."

Chen Weidong said with a smile.

"Dad! If I don't spank my sister, she will still wet the bed!" Xiaoliu was lying on the right side of Chen Weidong. He was dissatisfied and stretched out his arms to grab Chen Weidong.

"Haha, you only dare to bully your fifth sister! Speak softly, don't wake up your second sister, or she will beat you up!"

Chen Weidong spoke.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

The little girl was so frightened that she dared not move.

But the little girl was not stupid. She looked carefully and saw that her second sister was still sleeping. She knew that her father was trying to scare her, so she turned her head away and ignored him.

Chen Weidong was also amused. This little girl, who is at an age where she can't even hold her pee, is still quite arrogant!

In the morning, Chen Weidong finished feeding the livestock. Liu Xueting brought a bowl of noodles. Da Ni and Er Ni brought bowls and chopsticks to the table.
The family started to eat! Liu Xueting first served a bowl to each of the little girls, then picked up a large bowl in front of Chen Weidong, filled it with food, and handed it over.

Then another plate of pickles, a plate of yellow sauce and a few green onions, as well as a plate of wild vegetables, were brought in from the kitchen.

"Where did these prickly ash sprouts come from?" Chen Weidong asked curiously as he looked at the prickly ash sprouts on the plate.

This season is the season for picking prickly ash buds, but Liu Xueting definitely didn't go to pick prickly ash buds these days.

"My sister-in-law gave it to me this morning. It looked quite tender, so I hotted it a little." Liu Xueting said with a smile.

Thorny old bud, also called thorny young bud, is a thorny shrub.

Chen Weidong originally planned to plant some young thorny shoots next to the fence of the farm.

However, he later gave up on it because it was a shrub that did not grow very tall and was not easy to grow.

However, the young shoots that grow out of the old thorn buds in spring are a delicious wild vegetable.

The buds that have just grown out are almost the same as the buds of Chinese toon.

The way to eat spinach is similar to that of Chinese toon. It can be eaten with scrambled eggs, pan-fried, or spread over egg pancakes.

There is another way to eat it, which is to wash the prickly ash buds, blanch them in boiling water, and then rinse them with cold water. In this way, you can eat it directly with the sauce, which is very refreshing and delicious.

He started eating with big mouthfuls, and the six little girls also started eating happily!

In a short while, Chen Weidong had eaten a large bowl of noodles.

Liu Xueting naturally knew Chen Weidong's appetite and that he would not be full with just one bowl of food. When she saw that Chen Weidong had finished eating, she immediately stood up and served Chen Weidong another bowl.

Chen Weidong ate three large bowls of noodles with pickles and prickly ash before he felt full.

A few green onions were dipped in sauce and eaten by him.

Spring onion dipping sauce is one of the most common dishes on Northeastern dining tables. It can be served without meat, but it cannot be served without sauce.

After finishing the meal, the two of them cleared the dishes together, then hugged each other and whispered.

As for the six girls, Chen Weidong sent them out to play! No one disturbed the two of them in their world of two.

Not long after washing the dishes, Xiaoliu came back staggering alone!

Chen Weidong looked at Xiaoliu's pink little face and big eyes, and immediately stretched out his hand: "Xiaoliu, come here, let daddy hold you!"

When Xiaoliu saw Chen Weidong reaching out his hand, he twisted his body slightly and didn't even look at him.

Chen Weidong ran to Liu Ni again, and she turned her head away again. Chen Weidong had to hug her forcefully, but she turned her head and burrowed into Liu Xueting, refusing to be hugged by Chen Weidong!
Chen Weidong tried to coax her into giving her candy, but she refused.

Chen Weidong was embarrassed.

Liu Xueting smiled and said, "What did you do? Usually these little girls are the most attached to you, what happened today?"

"What else can I do? The little girl wet the bed today... I just scared her.
This little girl is really a little arrogant! If it was Si Ni, she would be fine as soon as I took out the candy! "Chen Weidong said.

"You made yourself angry, so you should comfort yourself!" Liu Xueting couldn't help laughing.

So Chen Weidong made all kinds of weird movements, faces, and noises to tease her.

I'll learn to crow like a rooster, "Cock-a-doodle-doo!"

I’ll learn to bark like a dog, woof woof woof!

I'll learn to squeal like a pig, roar, roar, roar!

Before long, Xiaoliu was laughing so hard that his mouth was watering.

Feeling that it was about time, Chen Weidong reached out again, "Xiao Liu, can daddy hold you?"

This time, Xiaoliu opened her arms and asked Chen Weidong to hold her. He picked her up and gave her a big kiss on the face.

"Wow! Dad, it hurts!" However, the next moment, Xiaoliu was unwilling.

Liu Xueting said coquettishly: "Your beard! It hurt her!"

Chen Weidong then remembered that he hadn't shaved for several days and quickly apologized: "Xiaoliu, I'm sorry, Dad forgot. Dad will learn to crow like a rooster for you, okay? Cuckoo!"

After some teasing, Xiaoliu laughed again.

Then, Chen Weidong asked Xiaoliu to sit on his lap and played games with her: "Xiaoliu, say you love daddy the most!"

"Love it most, Dad!"

Liu Ni learned it.

"Hey, you're so good!"

"Hey! So good!"

"Ahem, dad didn't let you learn this!"

Liu Xueting couldn't help laughing too!

"Daddy, little fox,"

Six little foxes also ran over. As soon as Xiaoliu saw the little foxes, he wanted to catch them, so he kicked his legs and tried to get down!
As soon as Chen Weidong put her down, he saw Xiaoliu stretch out his hands and run after the little fox.

The little fox also knew that if he was caught by the youngest master in the family, he would definitely be loved and abused, so he immediately ran around the yard.

"Don't run!"

The little girl started chasing after him with her short legs.

Chen Weidong didn't care about Xiaoliu. After feeding these little foxes for a few days, they grew a lot bigger.

And each one of them is very smart, take the chickens we raise at home for example!

They don't bite either, and usually they just like to fight with the chickens!

Sometimes he would coax and take care of the children. For example, when the little girl was crying, the little fox would come close to the little girl and rub her face!

At this time, the little foxes were playing with Xiaoliu. They didn't run fast, and when Xiaoliu couldn't catch up, they would stop and make whimpering sounds towards her.

In fact, Chen Weidong didn’t think it was so magical. In later life, Chen Weidong had seen many cats and dogs raising children.

Thinking that the two golden eagle cubs had not been fed yet, Chen Weidong walked into the bedroom again.

As soon as I came in, I heard the excited cry of the golden eagle!
The two golden eagle cubs are growing very fast and look different every day.

It had only been a few days and the wooden boxes could no longer hold them, so Chen Weidong did not put them on the beams because they would jump too high and would jump out of the boxes!
As soon as Chen Weidong walked in, two golden eagle cubs jumped out of the box and pounced on Chen Weidong.

Chen Weidong stretched out his hand, let the two golden eagle cubs stand on his hand, and came to the main hall.

When raising golden eagles, you must let them come out to see the sun frequently. Keeping them indoors all the time is not conducive to their growth.
