Return to the small mountain village in 1983

Chapter 28 This bamboo rat is depressed

When I got home, it was already seven o'clock and it was dusk.

Xiulan and others came back from their farm work and helped carry wood. There were already a lot of acorn trees as thick as forearms.

The eldest brother, his father and others also moved back many of the trees they had cut down, because when the eldest brother got married in the early years, the parents were preparing to build a house for their two sons.

Therefore, many large trees have been cut down for a year or two and are now dry, so it is not too heavy to move them back.

"Xiulan." Lin Heng shouted.

Xiulan turned her head and smiled when she saw Lin Heng coming back.

Before she could speak, her sister-in-law Liu Juan spoke up: "Lin Heng, come over quickly and help move the wood, and try to finish it today.

Everyone is doing something, but you are idle. You are probably not as good as a few of us women. "

Lin Heng originally wanted to help, but when he heard this, he took out the grouse and rabbits he had shot: "Sister-in-law, does hunting over two mountains count as idle time? If so, then I can roast rabbits by myself tonight. ”

Seeing the rabbit and grouse, the sister-in-law's eyes suddenly lit up and a smile appeared on her face: "So you went hunting, I didn't know. Go back and drink water quickly. We can do the work."

She was wondering why Lin Heng really changed into a different person after he changed his ways this time. He never came up short every time he hunted, which made her doubt her life.

"Did you hit another rabbit?" Mother Lin's eyes widened and she couldn't believe it.

"I only shot one grouse, and Xiong Ba caught the rabbit." Lin Heng pointed at Xiong Ba and said with a smile.

"Aww~~"

Xiongba held his head high, his ears raised, and looked like he was asking for credit.

"Is this dog really that powerful?" Mother Lin didn't believe it.

"Look at the rabbit for yourself. There are still teeth marks on its neck." Lin Heng said, spreading his hands.

"Then give it more food at night so that it can grow stronger." Mother Lin's attitude towards Xiong Ba changed.

As long as they are not freeloaders, she welcomes them all.

"Xiulan, come back and help me deal with the grouse and rabbits."

Lin Heng shouted again that he didn't want his wife to be so tired. She walked such a long way yesterday and she must be very tired today.

"Go ahead, there's not much left, we can finish the move." Mother Lin said.

"Okay, I'll go back and help cook."

After hearing what her mother said, Xiulan put down the wood and went home with Lin Heng.

"Brother, did you gain anything today?"

In the yard, Caiyun was holding Xiaoxia and her sister-in-law's two young sons. When she saw Lin Heng coming back, she smiled and asked questions.

She has become much more cheerful than before. This may be the effect of books.

"Of course, if we don't catch the squirrel, the grouse will be the bet in the morning." Lin Heng handed the grouse to Caiyun.

"Kill everyone and eat it. Second brother and I were just joking." Caiyun said.

Lin Heng handed the grouse to his wife Xiulan and asked her to handle it. He took out a knife, sharpened it, and began to skin the rabbit.

There is a skill in peeling the skin. Start from the neck, use a knife to peel a few centimeters, and then you can pull it off with your hands. If you pull hard, the skin and flesh will automatically separate.

Lin Heng stretched the torn off skin with bamboo skewers and began to remove the internal organs.

"Ouch~"

Xiongba had been waiting beside him for a long time, looking at him eagerly.

"Don't worry, I will give it to you and cook it for you to eat." Lin Heng touched its head, processed the rabbit's intestines, took them into the house, cooked them and fed them to Xiong Ba.

Xiulan was a little reluctant to see this scene, but she didn't say anything because she thought her husband did the right thing.

How can you want the horse to run but not give it grass to eat?
  But when she was handling the grouse, she kept the heart, liver, and gizzards, and put the rest into the pot to cook for Xiong Ba.

Lin Heng naturally noticed his wife's small gesture, held her hand and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I will let you live a life where you can eat all the delicacies from the mountains and the sea, and you will no longer have to worry about a little food."

"Your hands are all oily." Xiulan glanced at him, but didn't break away, and said: "It's good like this now. Don't think about making a lot of money." "Don't worry, I won't leave you. "Yes." Lin Heng knew what his wife was worried about.

"How about eating half a rabbit tonight, and the remaining half and grouse, smoking it, and building a house in two days?"

Xiulan looked at him and asked.

"Okay, you stir-fry that yellow head with rabbit meat and sour and spicy onions. I want to eat it."

Lin Heng looked at his wife's face and said with a smile.

"Okay, you can eat more. You didn't even take a few bites of the fish in the morning, and you put the fish I picked up for you into my bowl." Xiulan looked at him with some complaints.

Although it is so delicious, my husband seems not interested. Eating more meat will help you grow taller and have the strength to work.

"Okay, okay, I'll eat more." Lin Heng felt sweet in his heart, and his wife really felt sorry for him.

"Lin Heng, come out quickly, look what I got!!"

At this time, my uncle's shouts came from outside, and his words were full of excitement.

Lin Heng and Xiulan both walked out involuntarily.

In the yard, my uncle Li Baiquan was holding a big bamboo rat with gray hair and said happily: "How about a big bamboo rat that weighs more than a kilogram? Isn't it good?"

"You don't know, I hit it on the head with a slingshot, but it survived and was running around.

I took a bamboo pole and chased it, and finally the bamboo pole pierced it through. "

When my uncle said this, his saliva flew everywhere, and you can fully imagine how excited he was.

Being beaten to death at once is not exciting, but catching someone after running away is exciting.

It's like catching a ten-pound fish and the pole exploded, but you pulled the remaining half and slid the fish up. How exciting it was, no words needed at all.

"Awesome!" Lin Heng gave a thumbs up. From the fact that the bamboo rat was stabbed straight through, he knew how excited his uncle was.

"Hey, I've eaten. Peel it now and fry it tonight." The uncle smiled and said loudly.

"There are rabbits tonight. Take this back and let my third sister Hongcui and others taste it."

Mother Lin came over and refused, saying that her third brother-in-law loved to show off and often squandered all the good things outside without leaving them at home.

He must not be allowed to do this in her family, otherwise the three sisters would have to blame him as the older sister.

"Yes, there is enough rabbit meat. Take the bamboo rat home for my aunt and brother to eat."

Lin Heng also advised.

"No, if you catch them here, you will eat them here if you don't want to kill me."

The uncle shook his head and took the knife to deal with it himself, like a bull.

"Then give it to me and I'll handle it." Mother Lin had no choice but to take it.

After processing, only one third was cut into pieces and fried, while the remaining two thirds were kept for Li Baiquan to take back when he left.

This is the only way you can deal with such a stubborn temper.

In the evening, the meal was quickly prepared, and Father Lin and his eldest brother Lin Yue had almost plated the wood.

When I entered the house and smelled the aroma of meat, I immediately smiled.

"Second brother, you said you had this skill, why didn't you show it before." Lin Yue admired Lin Heng, and his younger brother was really good at it.

"It's my fault. If I had broken his leg earlier, maybe he would have been able to take care of his family."

Father Lin smiled and shook his head, looking very regretful.

Lin Heng: "..."

　Ask for a wave of recommendation tickets.
