Chapter 63 63

Dawa Erni was digging insects in the field on the hillside next to the house. Jiang Hu saw him when he came back. After a while, the brothers and sisters also trotted home.

"Dad, you see we caught a lot of bugs." The two of them each held a bamboo jar and handed it to Jiang Hu ostentatiously.

Jiang Hu was catching a few newly bought chicks out of the back basket, and seeing two jars of worms, he was surprised: "There are so many, just take one jar, and feed the chickens the other."

Erni listened, and was about to pour it to the chick that was put in the bamboo basket, but fortunately Jiang Hu stopped it in time.

"This won't work, feed the chickens some water first, and then feed them at night."

He has carried a long distance on his back, and the sun is shining again. The chickens are quite frightened at this moment, but they can't eat now.

Erni snorted, and quickly gave the bamboo jar to her brother, and went to the kitchen to pour water by herself.

The eggs are delicious, she wants to raise the chicks well, and then everyone can eat eggs!

Jiang Hu bought ten chicks this time, and when they are all grown up, there will be no shortage of eggs in the future.

"Brother Hu, I made gnocchi soup for you. You can take a bite before you go to the mountains." When Erni came over with water, Erniang also came out of the kitchen.

"Father, on such a hot day, you have to go to the mountains." The big baby ran back from the field just now, sweating profusely.

"Well, there are guests in the evening. Dad will go catch some prey and come back." Jiang Hu took the water that Erni brought, found a broken tile, put a little bit, and put it in a bamboo basket.

"Father also bought some lean meat, and asked mother to make it for you at noon. Father is not at home for lunch. You are good at home and don't run around."

Originally, what he thought was to rent an ox cart and come back today, go to the mountains in the afternoon, and give Ding Daddy a game tomorrow.

But Ding Ding said that he would bring it to him personally in the afternoon, and he would take the food-delivery car back to town in the morning to see how he was able to drive the ox-cart.

In this way, he couldn't go up the mountain in the afternoon, and he had to catch the prey as early as possible, so that he could entertain Ding Ding at night.

"Okay, Dad, be careful when you go out." Dawa nodded sensible.

Jiang Hu ate the gnocchi soup, took a jar of worms as bait, filled a bamboo tube with water, and went up the mountain.

It was not yet noon when he left, but it was getting hot. Erniang watched the children at home and stopped going out to work. She took the cloth she bought yesterday and made clothes for her family.

I still buy the cheapest coarse cloth, although it is not as soft as cotton cloth, but make clothes well, rub them a few times, and wash them again, so that the skin will not be rubbed.

This summer, the family of six has no clothes. Everyone has to change at least twice. Erniang has been busy these days.

It was still cool under the eaves, and occasionally there was a breeze blowing, which was much cooler than the house. Erniang was making clothes beside the small bed, while the older girl Erni used a small wooden stick to practice writing on the ground next to her.

Jiang Hu doesn't know much himself, but it is better to let the children learn in advance, at least than to go to the school without knowing anything.

In the morning, millet and iron eggs ate pots of porridge, which was fuller than milk, and Erniang did not feed them milk again until before lunch.

Jiang Hu bought half a catty of lean meat, although he told Erniang when he left, and made it for lunch, but Erniang didn't finish it, just cut it in half, chopped the meatballs, and cooked the meatballs and vegetable soup.

The remaining half, ready to fry green pepper shredded pork at night.

A few people ate, took a nap for a while, and waited for a long time until Jiang Hu came back.

This time, it was still full of rewards.

"Wow, there are so many pheasants, Dad, what is this, it looks so ugly."

The big baby was the first to trot to meet Daddy, and when he saw the prey that Daddy was holding in his hand, he screamed instantly.

"This is called a boar. Be careful, big baby. The thorns of this boar are very powerful. Don't stab you."

Jiang Hu raised his head a little, be careful that the big baby bumped into him.

Xiaomi was lying on the cot, and when he heard Jiang Hu's voice, he also hurriedly shouted: "Daddy, Daddy!"

Jiang Hu walked over with a smile: "Xiaomi also wants to watch? When you grow up, you can eat meat."

Xiaomi also saw the wild boar, what a wild boar, it is obviously a porcupine!A lot of black and white thorns on the back!
However, it was already hanging upside down by her father's straw rope, tied to one leg, and there was no sign of struggling.

Erniang was one step behind Dawa Erni, and she was surprised to see the boar: "Brother Hu, didn't this boar come out at night? How did you catch it?"

"I'm greedy, I took two old cucumbers when I left, to see if I could catch a rabbit, but this thing ran out. When I saw it was about to escape, I found a stick at random. I didn't expect it to be so lucky. Killed straight away."

Jiang Hu lifted the wild boar and put it under the pillar: "Eat this at night, anyway, it's dead, and it won't be fresh tomorrow."

Stale prey can't be exchanged for a few dollars, so it's better to eat it.

Erniang nodded, but she didn't rush to deal with the prey first, but took over the kitchen: "Brother Hu, I have left you a meal for noon, you put the pheasant away and eat something."

Da Wa followed Jiang Hu into the chicken pen, and Jiang Hu asked him to get the scissors that Er Niang used to make clothes.

With a few clicks, the feathers on the pheasant's wings and tail were removed.

"Dad, what did you cut the pheasant tail for?"

"Let's not buy these chickens, let's keep them for a while and then send them to the restaurant. By the way, are there any worms caught in the morning?"

"Yes, I'll go get it." Da Wa said and ran to get the worms to feed the chickens. Jiang Hu locked the pheasants in the chicken pen and trimmed their feathers, so that they wouldn't be afraid of running away.

When I came out, I told Erniang about it again. Of course Erniang had no opinion, only Xiaomi was talking about it in her heart. Dad is so smart.

Erniang cooked food for Jiang Hu, and was ready to clean up the wild boar.

Jiang Hu hurriedly came out with a bowl. For the meatballs at noon, he even reserved two for him, one for each bite, which made him smile.

"Second mother, wait, go and boil the water. The thorns on this wild boar can pierce people. I'll peel it later."

Erniang really had nowhere to start, so when she heard the words, she boiled water.

This wild boar is not as easy to cook as the purchased pork. It must be stewed in advance. After a few bites, Jiang Hu was busy.

This wild boar has a strong taste, and people with poor craftsmanship can't easily suppress the taste, but it doesn't matter, as long as there is meat.

What's more, Erniang's cooking skills are also good, and the family also made two liang of bad wine before, which was specially used for cooking. When the fragrance in the kitchen dissipated, and even Xiaomi couldn't help but sniff, an ox cart, Slowly, I came to Fu'an Village.

Mr. Ding knew about Fu'an Village, but he didn't know where Jiang's family was. As soon as he entered the boundary of Fu'an Village, he realized that he forgot to ask.

I was thinking about asking someone if I should ask, when a young man took the initiative to come up.

"Master, who are you looking for?"
