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

Chapter 216: Third sister, why should you taste it first!

So-and-so went up the mountain and killed some wild animal!

Someone broke into Widow So-and-so's house last night and didn't leave until morning.

So and so and his daughter-in-law...
Of course, these women are not stupid. The gossip they spread in such occasions are all about other villages. They only spread gossip about their own village in private.

Otherwise, it would not be a gossip exchange meeting, but a quarrel meeting.

Chen Weidong did not attend the meat distribution meeting. When the two wild boars divided the remaining meat, Chen Weidong instructed his eldest brother and father to take a share.

Now Chen Weidong has made money himself, and Shitou and Bingzi have also made money. The only difference is his eldest brother's family. Although Chen Weidong gives some money, his eldest brother and his wife are sometimes embarrassed to take it.

It’s not that Chen Weidong doesn’t want to take his elder brother Chen Weihai hunting to make money, but as mentioned before, Chen Weidong also has many concerns. After all, hunting in the mountains is not safe, and his elder brother’s temperament is not suitable for this job.

Chen Weidong and others sold all the deer antler glue and had more money in their hands. He planned to help his eldest brother to set up a pig farm and raise a dozen pigs first, so that they could live a better life.

……

The four little kids in the family also skipped to their grandfather's house to watch the meat being divided.

It's lively there and the little girls also like to join in the fun.

Only Chen Weidong and Liu Xueting were at home. After dividing the meat, she didn't have to prepare dinner in advance, which made her feel much more relaxed. However, Liu Xueting was not a person who could live idle, so she simply started sewing on the sewing machine again.

Chen Weidong processed the small flower corn cobs, and then used salt, onion, ginger, garlic, pepper, fennel, Atractylodes macrocephala and other ingredients to boil the seasoning water for marinating barbecue and started marinating!
Marinate it for an entire afternoon, waiting to make crispy roast suckling pig in the evening!
"Xueting, are you feeling well? Drink some water," Chen Weidong poured a glass of water and put it in Liu Xueting's hand after finishing his work.

"Well, it's nothing, not serious. I'm used to it. It will be fine in a month or two!" Liu Xueting said with a smile.

"That won't do. I'll take you to a big hospital in Hajiang City in a couple of days for a thorough check-up!"

Chen Weidong looked at Liu Xueting seriously.

"Why would you waste that money? Besides, aren't you going to sell deer antler glue? I won't bother you if I go with you, right?"

"How can this be considered a waste of money? As for delaying things, nothing can be more important than you!"

Chen Weidong said.

"You're talking nonsense in broad daylight again!" Liu Xueting rolled her eyes at Chen Weidong, but she felt as happy as if she had eaten honey. She continued:

"If we all leave, what will happen to the children at home? Will they go with us?"

"There are too many children. Da Ni and Er Ni are in school. It's not convenient to take Xiao Liu with them all. Let my parents take care of them."

Chen Weidong said.

"Well, I listen to you!"

Liu Xueting nodded, knowing that Chen Weidong was doing this for her own good.

After Dani and Erni came back from school, they also came back with the little ones who were playing outside. Chen Weidong took a look and saw that the piglets were well marinated.

So he put the piglet on the rack he had prepared long ago and started to light a fire in the yard! Ready to barbecue!

"Dad, what are you doing? Why haven't you cooked yet?"

Wu Ni asked in a baby voice.

"I won't cook today. Dad will make you a crispy roast suckling pig!"

“Crispy roast suckling pig.”

Chen Weidong's words attracted the children's attention.

Crispy Roast Suckling Pig, just hearing the name makes people drool.

Although they have never eaten it, they know that the food their father cooks is the most delicious!

As time went by, it was getting dark!

The roast suckling pig has been roasted to a golden color, mainly because Chen Weidong is willing to use the ingredients and the piglet has been marinated.

The roasted suckling pig is then coated with sugar water over and over again. It becomes golden in color and has the aroma of sugar, which makes people want to take a bite.

Si Ni ran to Chen Weidong and said, "Dad, when can we eat the roast suckling pig? Si Ni is so hungry!"

"It's not ripe yet."

Chen Weidong smiled and said, "Roasting suckling pig takes a lot of time. Otherwise, the outside will be cooked but the inside will still be raw."

Si Ni said, "Dad, can I have a taste first?"

Xiao Wu said in a baby voice: "Dad, I want to have a taste too."

Sanni: "Don't worry, you two. Dad said it will taste better when it's cooked through. But, Dad, I can help them taste it first."

Si Ni: "Third sister, why do you get to taste it first?"

Sanni: "I'm afraid you'll burn your mouth!"

Si Ni: “…”

"I'm not afraid!"

Chen Weidong watched them bickering and slowly turned the rack. He felt that it would probably take a while for the meat to be completely baked.

But the children were also hungry, so it wouldn't hurt to eat outside first. So he thought about it and said, "It's okay to eat now, but we have to eat while we roast it."

"Oh, that's great!" Si Ni cheered.

Sanni was quick and directly brought the chopsticks and plate, waiting for Chen Weidong to cut a small piece for her to taste.

Several other children gathered around.

Chen Weidong picked up the knife and cut it one by one, making the pieces of meat all the same size, alternating between fat and thin.

Sanni, Sini and Wuni all got two or three pieces of golden roasted meat at the same time. They couldn't wait to put them in their mouths, but they were breathless due to the heat.

"Can you guys slow down a bit? You all look like starving ghosts!"

Dani and the others laughed. After Chen Weidong gave them some barbecue, they were also anxious.

One by one, they picked up the barbecue, blew on it a few times, and put it in their mouths. However, because it was too hot, they only tasted a sweet fragrance and did not taste the real flavor of the barbecue.

Sanni was the one who could think of a solution. She picked up the barbecue and turned it around three times. The barbecue cooled down quickly, so she put it in her mouth and savored it slowly.

Si Ni also followed her example, and then the other children followed her example.

They were eating barbecue and spinning around, which made Chen Weidong burst into laughter.

Chen Weidong's family of eight, plus six little foxes that came along to eat the meat, actually ate up a whole pig.

Seeing that only bone residue was left on the ground, Chen Weidong couldn't help but sigh: "The old saying is true, it's true that the little boy is eating his way out of trouble. The little girl is also growing up, she is a glutton!"

At this time, Lao Hei and several other dogs in the yard also came to the crowd and ate all the bones on the ground!

After eating, Chen Weidong gave Xiao Si and Xiao Wu a bath. The two guys soaked in the wooden tub and had a lot of fun.

"Stop playing, hurry up and wash yourself, get dressed, or you'll catch a cold!"

Liu Xueting walked out of the kitchen and said.

"Dad, hurry up and wipe my butt! Otherwise Si Ni will catch a cold!"

As soon as Liu Xueting finished speaking, Si Ni urged her in a baby voice.

Chen Weidong laughed: "You little girl are trying to pass the buck again..."

Chen Weidongcheng picked them up, carried them to the kang, and slapped Sini's naked butt twice before he stopped!

After giving the little girls a bath, Liu Xueting and Chen Weidong also took a bath, and the whole family lay on the kang.

The little girls don't want to go to bed yet and are playing around on the kang.

Chen Weidong remembered that he wanted to take Liu Xueting to Hajiang City, and he had to tell the children about this!
"Da Ni, Er Ni... Mom and Dad will send you to your grandparents' house to sleep in a few days, okay!"

Chen Weidong said.

"Wuwuwu, Wuni doesn't want to go! Wuni wants to be with mom and dad!"

When Xiaowu heard that Chen Weidong wanted them to live with their grandparents, he hurriedly shook his head, and Xiaoliu was so scared that he shrank into the quilt.

"Why don't you want to go? Grandma hasn't scolded you recently! She's been nice to you!"

Chen Weidong asked.

"I don't like grandma, she's too fierce!"

Wu Ni said in a baby voice.

Chen Weidong sighed in his heart, these are all long-lasting shadows.

Fortunately, I was reborn and tried my best to change my image in the children's hearts, otherwise, I would not be liked by the children either.

"Grandma is actually a very nice person. She just... loves me too much and has some old-fashioned ideas that she can't change for the time being, so she is mean to you."

Chen Weidong said, "If you call her grandma more often and in a sweeter way, she will definitely like you and may even give you candy."

"really?"

When they heard there was food to eat, both of their eyes lit up.

"of course."

"Dad, why do we have to sleep at grandpa and grandma's house?" Dani asked curiously.

"Dad is going to take Mom to Hajiang City for medical treatment. When Dad and Mom are gone, you will be the only ones left at home! Go to your grandparents so they can take care of you! Your mom and I are worried if you stay at home alone!"

Si Ni: "Dad, I want to go too! I want to be with mom and dad!"

Wu Ni: "Dad, I want to go too!"

"No! Hajiang City is too far away, Mom and Dad, we won't be able to take care of you then!"

"I'm not afraid!"

"You can't not be afraid! If you get lost, Mom and Dad will never see you again!"

Chen Weidong waved his hand and turned to look at his other daughters, "What about you?"

"Dad, I'm going to sleep with my grandparents!"

Dani Chen Shuwan is indeed much more sensible and doesn't cry or make a fuss.

Erni Chen Shuyao glanced at Chen Shuwan and smiled, "I'll listen to my eldest sister."

"Since my eldest sister and second sister are going to sleep at grandma's house, then I want to go too." Sanni quickly raised her hand and said.

"If Third Sister goes, I will go too!" Xiao Wu shouted quickly.

Chen Weidong looked at Si Ni with a smile, "Si Ni, you are the only one sleeping at home now, are you afraid?"

Si Ni looked at this one, then looked at that one, and finally said, "Since you all are going over, then I... will go over too."

Xiaoliu didn't ask. The little girl was young, so Liu Xueting would feel at ease if she was with her! It was also convenient for the couple to take care of one child.

……

In a blink of an eye, another two days passed and the foundation of Chen Weidong's new house was finally completed.

Thirty centimeters above the ground, the blue brick wall on top of Chen Weidong's foundation is a 37-meter wall. The 37-meter wall is mainly used for heat preservation and strength.

After this house is built, I plan to live in it for the rest of my life.

As for twenty or thirty years later, everyone will start building two- and three-story small Western-style buildings. What does that have to do with him?
In the rural areas of the Northeast, even after forty years, few people build buildings. After the foundation is laid, the speed of building the walls becomes faster.
