Forest Farm 1985: Raise a bear cub to climb the mountain

Chapter 19 My sister is back
This dinner made the whole family full.

As soon as Xiao Yingying was full, she would stick to Nan Chunwan, hug her mother's arm, and act like a spoiled child.
The little hands kept clenching into fists and putting them into Nan Chunwan's cotton-padded jacket pockets. It was estimated that this was some new way of playing that the little girl had come up with.

The cute little boy's appearance made Mr. and Mrs. Dai Bo look at each other frequently.

Dai Song helped to clean up as usual.

After the first time, Jiang Weiqun and Tang Liping were not so surprised.

Instead, we feel pity for Dai Shuzhi and Dai Bo, father and son;
Because Dai Shuzhi got off the kang with his left foot first, he violated Jiang Weiqun's new family rules and was punished to wash clothes for her throughout the winter.

Dai Bai would be fine for the time being, but Tang Liping took out a half-person-high wine jar from somewhere and said she wanted to make some wine for him.

Looking at Dai Song who was busy like a top in the house, the father and son both had a bit of "resentment" in their eyes.

Separation is imminent!
When Dai Song coaxed Yingying to sleep and she came out of the side room, Nan Chunwan was already lying in bed.

Because she was close to the heating, her quilt was not rolled that tightly.

Dai Song saw this and felt relieved, knowing that his wife was willing to accept his kindness.

Just when he had finished everything and got back into bed, his wife's muffled voice came from under the quilt.

"Mom secretly gave me some money today, but I didn't want it..."

"Yeah, that's right." Dai Song praised softly.
"In the past, I didn't do any work, but I had to eat and use the family's money. I relied on you to support me. Now that I can bring money home, it is my duty to support the family a little bit."

“……”Nan Chunwan didn’t move in the bed.

When Dai Song smelled the faint fragrance of his wife's hair and fell asleep, Nan Chunwan turned around and

With the light coming in from the window, Dai Song's big brother, with his mouth wide open, was grinning foolishly, not knowing what he was dreaming about.

Nan Chunwan's almond eyes were moist, the corners of her mouth curved up, she tightened her hand around the big white rabbit, and slowly closed her eyes...

In the following days, Dai Song insisted on running up the mountain.

In the morning, I helped Erhan transport red deer meat, and in the afternoon, I went to pick tea.
During the trip, we avoided Erhan's original burrow. Only by experiencing it firsthand can you understand how terrifying a black bear is.
He doesn't even have a gun at the moment. What if the black bear crawls out and continues to live there? Wouldn't he just be delivering food?
So Dai Song would go home early after picking tea every day to save his family from worrying.

Although his family did not cause trouble for Dai Song that night, he discovered the next day that his knife and leggings were missing.

Dai Song had no choice but to chase Jiang Weiqin and explain:
"Mom, I've been lucky these past two days. Newbies have good luck. Usually, I'm just running around and making money..."

Jiang Weiqun reluctantly returned the leggings to him. The fact that he had only brought back a dozen pounds of tree leaves in the past few days, without any meat or fish, made her feel a little relieved.

Dai Song didn't find the Qindao, so he took the small hoe from home to the mountain.

He crawled into Erhan’s new nest and took a look. It was indeed much smaller than the hole in the ground, but it had better lighting and ventilation.

Dai Song used a small hoe to help Erhan dig out a larger circle inside, and at the same time hoe all the protruding corners and edges flat.

This made Dai Song very proud, and he kept showing off his skills to Erhan.

This makes Erhan "happy"!

She pursed her lips and pushed Dai Song out:
Go away! You scratched all the itchy places on me!
Dai Song stayed in the cave with a smile on his face, swaying back and forth as Erhan pushed him. It was quite comfortable.

Finally, Erhan took a dump in the cave. He couldn't stay there any longer and came down from the tree.

And the amount of kidney meridian tea far exceeded Dai Song's imagination.

I originally thought that I could finish picking them all with just one more try, but every time I was almost done picking, I found a new one.

Dai Song picked the fruits for four days in a row. On the fifth day, he checked around and made sure that there were indeed no more fruits around. Only then did he let go of the last few to leave some roots here.

When he got home, Dai Song took out the round bamboo basket as usual to dry the tea leaves while the sun was still shining, but he heard a crisp call from behind him:
"elder brother!"

"Hmm?" Dai Song turned around with a smile in his eyes.
"Xiao Qian! Why did you come back today? How did you come back?"

I saw my younger sister Dai Xiaoqian trotting out of the house.
She was wearing a light grey cotton jacket with a white turtleneck sweater underneath.

The double braids swayed behind her as she walked.
Her eyes are exactly the same as Jiang Weiqun's, watery and lively. When she smiles, she has two shallow dimples, giving people a very gentle feeling.

She was at the age of budding. After only one semester, she looked like a grown-up girl. She was only slightly shorter than Nan Chunwan. She stood in front of Dai Song, looking pretty and exuding a youthful aura.

If it weren't for his rebirth, Dai Song would never have thought why his cheerful sister would commit suicide.

"We took a small train from the county back to town. There happened to be a tractor in town that was returning to our village, so I worked with my classmates to bring it back together."

"Are you a male or female classmate?"

Dai Song has a keen sense of smell. In an emergency, he must be very careful. "Woman~" Dai Xiaoqian stamped her feet.

"Brother, is it necessary to be so lenient?"

"Ok??"

Dai Song frowned.
"What do you mean? That means there are men!"

"No! What is this, brother? It looks weird."

"Don't change the subject!"

Dai Song bent his hand and tapped his sister lightly on the head.

Dai Xiaoqian stuck out her tongue.

"Brother who drives a tractor, please~"

"Oh."

Dai Song felt relieved and carefully spread the kidney meridian tea on the round bamboo plate.
Seeing Dai Xiaoqian following suit and helping to spread the floor, he hissed.
"What's your classmate's name?"

"Brother~!"

"Okay, okay, I won't ask anymore. Really, what's wrong with you? Your cheeks are puffed up and your eyes are bulging, like a female leopard.

Eh? Do you want to eat a female leopard?

I found a pond on the mountain a few days ago, there should be quite a lot in it."

The female leopard that Dai Song was talking about was not a real leopard, but a Northeast Forest Frog.

In the Northeast, the male forest frog with a yellow belly is called a male dog, and the female forest frog with a red belly is called a female leopard.

The female leopard is full of oil and seeds, and stewed with soybean paste and potatoes, it tastes extremely delicious.

Moreover, forest frogs are rich in nutrients, can regulate physiological functions, and have many benefits to women's bodies.

In later generations, the price of a female forest frog was at least three hundred yuan per kilogram.

When Dai Xiaoqian heard about the female leopard, she also became a little greedy.
There wasn't much to eat at school, and the prices were expensive. After half a year, she felt that she had lost a lot of weight, so she said sweetly:

"Think~"

"Okay, help me hang these out to dry. I'll collect them from the pond in a couple of days."

"Hey~" Dai Xiaoqian blinked, "Brother, why do I feel like you've changed?"

"Really?" Dai Song couldn't hold back his smile. "I haven't changed at all. Maybe you don't know me well enough."

"No."

"Hmm?" Dai Song had a look of anticipation on his face, and it was very hard for him to keep a straight face. His sister also noticed that he was making progress, which meant that he had made great progress in the eyes of his family recently.

"Brother, you have become rough now, not like before I went to school, when I was white, tender and like a pretty boy."

"..." Dai Song's mouth twitched and he couldn't utter a word for a long time.

The brother and sister were spreading tea leaves in the yard. After a while, Jiang Weiqin came back from the village with her two daughters-in-law.
Tomorrow people from the flour mill in town will come to the village with equipment to collect and grind cornmeal. The village chief specifically notified everyone today to go back and prepare so as not to miss it tomorrow.

When the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law saw Dai Xiaoqian, they all smiled happily, ran up to her, and quickly pushed Dai Song aside.

Several women gathered together and chattered as if they had endless things to say, and even asked Dai Song to prepare dinner first.

Jiang Weiqin waved her hand,
"Xiao Qian, let your elder brother and your father sleep at night! Let's sleep together!"

"OK!"

"Ok!"

Tang Liping and Nan Chunwan both liked this sister-in-law very much and nodded repeatedly.

Just as Dai Song went to the yard with a bitter face to fetch water to wash vegetables, Xie Shubao's voice came from outside the yard.
"Brother Song!"
