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

Chapter 20 Diao Wenhua's Plot
Dai Song hurried to the wall.

"what happened?"

"Brother Song, I saw Diao Wenhua borrowing the tractor from the village chief's house today!"

Dai Song's pupils shrank suddenly when he heard this.
"Did you see him come back?"

Xie Shubao nodded and glanced at Dai Song's house. "I brought Sister Xiaoqian back with me."

Dai Song's face turned pale. For a moment, he felt a ringing in his ears and his heart was beating so fast in his chest that it seemed like it would jump out of his throat the next moment.

Damn it, Ye Meilan must have told her that!
What people say is true: beware of fire, theft and neighbors!

"Brother Song, I saw him take Ye Meilian back to his home later, and they are still in the house now."

This sentence revived Dai Song. He rubbed his chin, his eyes dark:

My sister's emotional state is fine, so nothing should have happened for the time being.

Fortunately, Xie Shubao was asked to keep an eye on Diao Wenhua. It was probably him who had targeted his sister who came home for the winter vacation in his previous life. With Ye Meilin's instigation, he became evil-minded.

Dai Song took a deep look at Ye Meilian's yard.

"Little Bookbag, keep watching. Be careful. If something happens, don't do it yourself. Come and tell me right away."

"Understood, Brother Song!"

After seeing Xie off, Dai Song paced back and forth in the yard:
At present, everything is just suspicion. Diao Wenhua has not taken any concrete action. If we strike first, it will be very risky and he may escape. Moreover, Diao Wenhua is not a fool. With limited time and shallow layout, he will not fall into the trap.

Seeing this, we can only take advantage of the situation and get rid of Diao Wenhua before he can take action!

After making the decision, Dai Song's mood suddenly brightened and he went back to the house to cook as if nothing had happened.

He didn't forget to prepare a gift for his sister.

He deftly peeled the two deer hind hooves, picked out the Galaha, and gave it to Dai Xiaoqian, who liked it so well.

And today when her daughter came home, Jiang Weiqun cooked all the dishes for Dai Xiaoqian.

I cut some venison and some cured pork that someone had sent me, mixed it with pickled cabbage and Chinese cabbage, and made dumplings with two kinds of fillings.
He also sent Dai Shuzhi to kill the large carp that had been raised in the yard for two days.
Looking at the beautiful scene of the whole family busy in the main room, Dai Song was unconsciously immersed in it.

Fortunately, he noticed Jiang Weiqun's glare in time and hurried to deal with the two deer hooves whose kneecaps had been peeled off, thus avoiding a scolding.

After the extremely sumptuous meal, the whole family had their fill. Dai Bai had to go fishing the next day, so he chatted with his sister for a few words before obediently going to the side room to share a kang with Dai Shuzhi.

Xiao Yingying was lying on the kang with her arms and legs spread out, revealing her snow-white belly. As she moved, the women all looked at her with smiles on their faces.

When Dai Xiaoqian came back, she no longer stuck to Dai Song, but stayed close to her little aunt, listening attentively to her teaching how to play the Kalaha.

After teaching her eldest niece, Dai Xiaoqian was about to stand up to help with the housework when Tang Liping pushed her back onto the kang.

"No need for you, we have someone who is dedicated to washing dishes and wiping tables at home now."

"Ah? We have a part-time worker at home?" Dai Xiaoqian looked surprised. Isn't the family's financial situation not very good?

Sister Chunwan is still wearing the old clothes she wore when she got married.

"No." Tang Liping kept it a secret.

But just as Nan Chunwan picked up the plate, Dai Song next to her jumped off the kang.
He snatched the bowl from her hand and started busily picking up the food.

"Oh my god, this is my brother?!"

"That's nothing."

Tang Liping pulled Nan Chunwan, who was driven back by Dai Song to rest, over to sit at the head of the kang.

"Did you notice? Your brother is very fond of your sister-in-law now!"

Nan Chunwan blushed when she heard this. It was not right to shake her head, nor was it right to admit it.

"It seems so!" Dai Xiaoqian's eyes sparkled. She had just seen Dai Song pick up food for Nan Chunwan several times during the meal.
"I was wondering why he was so excited this afternoon, hahaha!"

"What were you talking about?"

Dai Xiaoqian told Jiang Weiqin and her two sisters-in-law about part of her conversation with Dai Song in the afternoon.

The three of them couldn't help laughing.

Nan Chunwan secretly glanced at Dai Song, who was busy working in the main room, and touched the White Rabbit candy in her pocket that she had been reluctant to eat. She felt that her heart was sweet enough without having to eat candy.

The four women and the little girl were chatting animatedly. In the middle of the night, while Dai Song was lying on the cold and lonely kang, he could still hear his sister, sister-in-law, and daughter-in-law whispering in the main room.

At this moment, he felt that the light from the street lamps outside was so noisy.

A sleepless and cold night.

After getting up in the morning, he would light the stove and steam breakfast for the whole family. Now the food at home is much better.

Half of the pot was filled with white flour buns made by Jiang Weiqun.

Hearing the noise in the main room, the whole family except Dai Xiaoqian and Xiao Yingying got up one after another.

After eating, Dai Shuzhi and Dai Bai would go to pull the big net. Now that the ice has become thicker, the fishing season has officially begun. The father and sons have worked hard and can earn more than 100 yuan a month.

Because today the flour mill in the town is grinding corn flour in Shangtun,

Jiang Weiqun and her two daughters-in-law had to take the corn kernels they had broken a few days ago and queue up to grind flour.

"Songzi, do you want to go hiking today?" Jiang Weiqun was eating a cornmeal bun with pickled cabbage.

"No, I just set up a new condom a few days ago, so I don't need to go these days." Dai Song made up a lie.

"Okay, cook lunch at noon. We are busy today."

"Oh." Dai Song responded, and in his mind he went over everything he had done in the past few days;
A few days ago, the big elk was moved to Erhan’s new den. Such a big elk was enough for him to eat for half a month.

Its wounds haven't healed yet, so just let it rest for a few days.

There was no shortage of meat at home. Jiang Weiqin had smoked deer liver and heart and hung them on the roof, untouched.

Only half of the pork that Xie Shubao sent was eaten, and the remaining more than ten pounds of venison breast was left directly in the yard so that it would not go bad even in the cold weather.

It is not like the later generations where people are reluctant to eat meat. Even if Dai Song is chopping meat desperately under Jiang Weiqun's shoe soles every time they cook, the saved meat is enough for the whole family to eat for another week.

Dai Song found that there was nothing to worry about, and now he had only one goal in mind:
Take good care of your sister and make sure to change the tragedy of your previous life!
After breakfast, the mother-in-law, daughter-in-law and others went out, carrying cornmeal and holding the still dazed Xiaoyingying.

Dai Song lay on the kang in boredom until eight or nine o'clock, when his sister Dai Xiaoqian yawned and came out of the room.
"Brother, where are mom and the others?"

"I'm going to grind cornmeal. You two should have breakfast first. I've saved some white flour buns for you."

"Oh, OK." Dai Xiaoqian responded, and after a while she suddenly shouted,
"But I told them last night that they would take me with them today!"

"I guess he wanted you to have a good rest since it's your rare visit back home."

"Ah~ No! Grinding cornmeal is fun, brother, you don't understand, usually at this time there are rice cobs nearby, I want to go and take a look, the corn cobs have to be bent into shape to taste good!"

When Dai Song heard this, he remembered.

In previous years, when the village harvested corn flour, a group of children would go with them, and when they came back, each of them would have yellow "sticks" of varying lengths on their hands.

This thing is squeezed out of the machine mouth. When it comes out, it is still hot. You can take this opportunity to bend it into various shapes.

For example, sickles, hooks, and stars are both edible and playable. In this era, many children will go out to get some snacks even if they are throwing tantrums at home.

"When you've finished eating, I'll take you there."

"Hey, okay." Dai Xiaoqian was no longer anxious after hearing this. "Brother, I heard yesterday that you followed others up the mountain to get rid of the condom. Is it dangerous?"

"What's so dangerous about it? The animals that are caught are basically wilted. Some of them have tortured themselves to death. For those that are not dead, you can just stab them with a knife and that's it."

"Oh, okay." I see that my sister-in-law and the others are still quite worried about this matter. You can talk to them about it when you have time.

"Yeah." Dai Song nodded.

This problem cannot be avoided for the time being.

If you want to continue making a living by chasing mountains, the only way is to grab them as soon as possible.

With a gun, you will have confidence. When the time comes, you can tell your family that you are following a hunting gang and going into the mountains with seven or eight guns. Then you will basically have nothing to worry about.

Dai Xiaoqian had a goal and ate her meal in no time. She went to the yard to wash the kitten's face and then shouted that it was time to set off.

But just as Daisong led her out of the yard, Ye Meilin in the next yard happened to be holding a bag of corn kernels and preparing to grind them into flour.

Dai Xiaoqian heard her sisters-in-law talking about Ye Meilin's involvement in the incident a few days ago last night, so she decided to pretend she didn't see her.

As a result, Ye Meilian came running over with a smile on her face.

"Hey! When did Dai Xiaomei come back? Did she go to the village to grind cornmeal? Let's go together!"

This made Dai Xiaoqian feel a little troubled. She didn't want to go along with Ye Meilan, but as the old saying goes, don't hit someone who smiles at you.

And if we really talk about seniority, the other party is older than me, how can I refuse this? So I hurriedly asked for help from Dai Song beside me.

Unexpectedly, Dai Song looked indifferent.
"Okay, you two go ahead. I got up early and have been busy until now. I'm so tired. It's just right for me to take a nap."

Ye Meilian smiled like a chrysanthemum when she heard this, twisting her hips and sticking close to Dai Xiaoqian.

"Let's go! Let's go!"
