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

Chapter 22 Why are you still feeling wronged?

Chen Weidong looked at the anxious Wu Ni and said with a smile.

As expected, Wu Ni then imitated her two sisters and greeted Chen Weidong.

It’s a blessing to have a daughter.

Fortunately, Wu Ni didn't have much strength, and Chen Weidong was happy to enjoy her little fist.

However, before a while, Si Ni stopped and looked at him pitifully with her big watery eyes.

"Uh……"

Chen Weidong didn't remember beating this kid again, and he didn't force him to beat his legs! Why was he still feeling wronged?
"What's wrong with Si Ni? Are you tired? If you are tired, take a rest!"

"Dad praised the third sister, but he hasn't praised the fourth sister yet?"

"Ugh, this little girl's competitive spirit!"

"My Si Ni is so good, it feels so good to hit her daddy!"

What else could Chen Weidong do? Even if he said one thing and meant another, he had to make his daughter happy! Then he glanced at Wu Ni who came over.
Then he praised all the little kids in the family, saying that Xiaoliu was just ignorant, which saved Chen Weidong a lot of trouble.

"Whee!"

Si Ni's expression changed quickly, and the other little ones were all very happy when they heard it.

For these little guys, happiness is really simple.

Looking at his daughters, Chen Weidong showed a loving look as a father.

The little guys have been eating more oily food these past two days. Although their hair is still dry and yellow, and their appearance is still the same as if they are lacking in nutrition, their complexion is much better than before.

However, it will take some time for them to gain weight.

Fortunately, the little ones have inherited Liu Xueting's good genes. Even though they are malnourished now, they are all very cute.
Of course, it would be cuter if she grew a little fatter and had a chubby face.

By the way, my wife Liu Xueting is also too thin!

This figure will be perfect even after 30 or 40 years! But who can blame Chen Weidong for preferring a plumper wife? After all, as a mother of six children, she cannot let her children suffer even if she is in trouble!
Thinking of this, Chen Weidong couldn't help but gently pinch Si Ni's little face. Among the little ones, this little girl had more flesh on her face. Unexpectedly, he became more and more addicted to pinching her.

"Dad, stop pinching Sini!"

"Rush~ it hurts"

Si Ni protested to Chen Weidong in a baby voice, and then ran off to find Liu Xueting to complain!

The remaining Sanni and Wuni, seeing that their father was going to attack them again, ran away on their short legs.

"Haha."

Looking at the few little guys running away, Chen Weidong smiled and stood up from his chair. It was getting late and he couldn't rest for too long.

There are still a few greyhound skins that have not been peeled off, and they need to be processed and hung up to dry in time!
then,

After skinning the greyhound with a knife, Chen Weidong did not use the Northeast method to deal with the greyhound. Instead, he used the knife to chop a few wooden sticks.

He found some nails in the house and used them to make a few frames and thin ropes. He then used the nails to punch some small holes along the edges of the furs, threaded the thin ropes through them, and stretched them tight on the frames to dry in the sun.

This is just fresh raw hide, which does not require much processing. Tanning is unnecessary unless you want to use the hide yourself. Just make sure it does not rot.

On the other side, Liu Xueting and Dani had already fried the pecans and pine nuts!

The aroma has already filled the kitchen.

A few little kids are jumping around, just waiting for the pot to boil!
"You are only allowed to eat a little, as you still need to eat later," Liu Xueting reminded.

"Oh!"

The little kids nodded obediently. They dared not disobey what their mother said.

"Is it delicious?" Chen Weidong washed his hands, walked in and looked at the little guys beside him.

"tasty,"

"Dad, I'll give you one!"

"You really are daddy's, what a great daughter!"

"..."

Chen Weidong also started eating. These hazelnuts, pine nuts and pecans had a burnt and crispy aroma and tasted very good.

The little ones were very obedient. Liu Xueting asked them to eat a little, and they only ate a little.

Then, Liu Xueting cooked the meal.

Because the little ones had enough food in their stomachs, they didn’t eat much.

After dinner and a quick wash, the little ones began to feel sleepy.

The younger ones had already fallen asleep in the arms of Liu Xueting and Chen Weidong, and the older ones also went to the kang by themselves.

Chen Weidong and Liu Xueting put their children on the kang, and the couple took a rest!

A speechless night!
The next day, Chen Weidong woke up early in the morning. He was afraid of disturbing his wife and children, so he got up carefully and Liu Xueting opened her eyes.

"Are you going up the mountain so early again? Why didn't you call me? I'll go make you some food!"

Liu Xueting yawned and sat up from the bed.

"You should get some sleep! You've been taking care of the little ones all night, and you're exhausted. I can just make myself something to eat!"

Chen Weidong smiled and said that Liu Xueting had taken care of the little ones last night, and that people in the village didn't get up very early when they were free these days.

It’s not that people these days are lazy, on the contrary, they are very hardworking. The main reason is to save food. They eat two meals a day, and in order to eat less, they have to exercise less!
Therefore, Liu Xueting used to get up late with the children, otherwise the little ones would jump around and get hungry in a short while.

"That's impossible. How can a man go out to work and a woman not get up to cook?"

"If my mom finds out, she'll tell it again!" Liu Xueting tied up her hair and shook her head.

"All right!"

This time it was Chen Weidong's turn to lose to Liu Xueting. He knew that although Liu Xueting had a soft personality, she was a very strong woman at heart.

"Weidong, be careful when entering the mountains! Go home early."

"Don't worry! I'm going to the pine forest on the other side of the mountain to hunt graylings. Few ferocious beasts will appear there. You stay home and take good care of the children!"

After eating the breakfast made by Liu Xueting, Chen Weidong, carrying a gun, slingshot and other tools, went into the mountains under Liu Xueting's worried gaze.

Just as Chen Weidong said, they didn't encounter any danger and they killed thirteen greyhounds in one day and got down the mountain.

For the next three days, Chen Weidong went into the mountains every morning with a gun and a slingshot to hunt greyhounds.

As his range of activities expanded, he almost visited all the areas in the pine forest.

The greyhounds in the pine forest are now much more low-key. When they hear any noise, they disappear without a trace in an instant. The brave ones all end up in his sack.

Chen Weidong used to be able to kill more than ten greyhounds a day, but now he can only kill six or seven, and the greyhounds have become much more cunning.

These days, Chen Weidong hunted a total of forty-three greyhound skins, and also got two live rabbits and pheasants.

A wild rabbit was eating grass beside a pond in the red pine forest. Chen Weidong shot it with a slingshot just behind its ear.

Although it was not fatal, the hare collapsed to the ground on the spot and stayed in Chen Weidong's sack for a while before it recovered.
