Chapter 57 Expelling Roundworms, Encountering a Giant Beast
Chang Kun, Liu Meifen, and Chang Dashan were greatly surprised and asked in unison:
"What's wrong?"
Chang Qing burst into tears: "We pooped and we found so many worms! Waaaaaah..."
Chang Kun: ......
He immediately understood what was going on and asked, "Did you steal the candy I brought back? The colorful kind with spiral patterns on it."
Chang Qing asked with a mournful face, "Big brother, how did you know?"
Chang Kun smiled but did not answer.
That pagoda-shaped candy won't do much good if you have oily or greasy food in your stomach; it won't help you pass roundworms.
He originally wanted the girls to eat on an empty stomach, but they secretly ate while no one was home.
When Chang Qing was brought outside the courtyard, Chang Mu and Chang Xiu were still squatting on the ground looking at the worms they had pooped, with tears still on their faces.
They thought their stomachs were full of worms and they were about to die.
It wasn't until Chang Kun explained things to them that the three girls stopped crying and started laughing.
Ask them if they would dare to steal food again next time.
They shook their heads in unison: "Big brother, we'll never dare to do it again."
"Okay, since you've been good, I'll give you something fun."
"Big brother, what good stuff is it?"
"Is it more fun than a frog?"
Back in the east room, Chang Kun had just taken out a comic book.
Chang Dashan's eyes widened.
"Xiao Kun, where did you buy this?" He was holding a copy of "Chicken Feather Letter" and flipping through it noisily.
There were a few books at home before, which Chang Dashan read over and over again until the edges were all curled up. Later, when the family ran out of food, they traded those books for half a jin of sorghum flour.
Liu Meifen snatched the book from Chang Dashan's hand and stroked it affectionately:
"Be gentle, this is such a new book."
The three little girls looked at the books their eldest brother had spread out on the kang (a heated brick bed), swallowed hard, and dared not touch them.
They knew how precious books were, and when they visited their friends' homes, they wouldn't dare touch the books they saw.
Chang Kun had them wash their hands and introduced the stories inside the books to them one by one, letting them choose for themselves.
The picture books all have illustrations, and the little girls couldn't put them down once they started using them.
Even Chang Dashan ignored his eye bags and leaned against the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed) flipping through a book.
Chang Kun pulled Liu Meifen to the west kang (heated brick bed) and slowly told his mother about the work quota of the supply and marketing cooperative.
Upon hearing this, Liu Meifen stood there stunned for several minutes before she came to her senses.
She asked, trembling, "Are you saying that the supply and marketing cooperative has job quotas, and we can exchange our meat for them?"
Chang Kun nodded.
Liu Meifen slapped her thigh and shouted, "Old man, his father, come here right now!"
Chang Dashan was completely engrossed in the comic book and didn't hear Liu Meifen calling him until he was patted on the arm a few times before he came to his senses.
Left with no other choice, Chang Kun repeated the explanation.
Chang Dashan was stunned. He exchanged a glance with Liu Meifen and noticed that her eyes were a little red.
Ever since their son Chang Kun was fired from his job in the city, they have felt like a heavy stone was pressing on their hearts.
This job can be passed down from father to son, from son to grandson, generation after generation.
Especially now, city dwellers have access to government-subsidized grain rations, while rural residents are left starving.
These days, a job in the city is worth more than a person's life in the countryside!
Chang Kun lost his job, but they didn't say much. They never mentioned the gossip in the village at home, for fear of overwhelming their son.
Now, my son is saying that he has connections to get a job at the supply and marketing cooperative.
Working at the supply and marketing cooperative! These are the eight key personnel!
Compared to Chang Kun, who was previously an apprentice in a mold factory, he wasn't even worthy of carrying Chang Kun's shoes!
Chang Dashan's lips trembled as he decided to burn some paper money for his deceased parents. This was truly an auspicious sign from their ancestral graves!
Liu Meifen paced back and forth a few times, then ran to the stove, muttering to herself:
"Hurry up and get some food. After you two finish eating, go into the mountains, hunt some game, and settle the work."
I don't care if my son is tired or not. As long as I can get a job, I'm willing to work any way I want!
Chang Kun couldn't argue with his mother, so he had no choice but to agree.
......
Meanwhile, at Zhang Quhun's home.
After working in the brigade all morning, Zhang Quhun and his son Zhang Pianxin returned home to rest.
The father and son didn't talk much; one smoked a pipe, while the other stroked the gun Chang Kun had given him.
The gun was originally lost in the mountains, but the father and son went up the mountain to retrieve it before dawn this morning.
As footsteps sounded outside the door, Zhang Buxiao pushed the door open and entered.
"Dad, brother, I'm here." He waved the small cloth bag in his hand. "Dad, make some cornmeal porridge for lunch. I brought some cornmeal with me."
Zhang Quhun glanced at his elder brother in surprise. His elder brother was always the type to take but never give. His father would give him things, but he had never seen his elder brother give anything to his father. What was wrong with him today?
Zhang Pianxin got off the kang (a heated brick bed) and asked:
"Where are Laibao and your wife?"
"Don't mention that Fu Dimo. This morning she was going to send cornmeal to her parents' house again. I had a fight with her, and she ran back to her parents' house with Bao."
"Oh dear, my Laibao! Why aren't you going to chase after him?" Zhang Pianxin slapped his thigh anxiously. Zhang Laibao was the lifeblood of the Zhang family.
"Dad, why are you in such a hurry? Her younger siblings aren't any better. Just you wait, they'll send Fu Dimo back in less than two meals."
Zhang Pianxin blinked and didn't say anything, but he was still worried that his precious grandson was hungry, so he glared at Zhang Buxiao.
"Why didn't you take Laibao away and let her go back to her parents' home on her own!"
Zhang Pianxin had always been dissatisfied with his eldest daughter-in-law, but he hadn't said anything for the sake of his eldest son and grandson.
Zhang Buxiao patted her younger brother's shoulder: "Brother, go wash some wild vegetables, the three of us will have some for lunch."
He sprained his ankle last night and was helped away by his father. Later, his younger brother risked his life to rescue him and bring him home.
After this harrowing experience, he realized that if he had to say who he could rely on the most, it would be his father and younger brother; even his wife had to take a backseat.
Although my father isn't very capable, and my younger brother is a quiet, simple-minded fellow, we still have to rely on them when it matters.
......
Chang family.
Chang Kun and Chang Dashan ate something quickly, packed a few meat buns into a sack, grabbed their military-grade water bottles, and hurried off into the mountains.
There was nothing they could do; Liu Meifen was simply too annoying to handle.
My mother is terrified that if she doesn't catch any prey, her work targets will be lost.
The father and son, one carrying a Type 56 semi-automatic rifle and the other a bird gun, exchanged a few words with the villagers at the village entrance before heading into the deep mountains.
On the way into the mountains, we encountered four or five groups of people. Most of them were villagers, but one group looked quite well-equipped and seemed to be from the city.
These people also went into the mountains to hunt. Seeing how much game Chang Kun had hunted a few days ago, the villagers felt that they could do it too.
Chang Kun did not travel with these people. Instead, he randomly chose a fork in the mountain and turned into it.
This time, I didn't plan to hunt small animals in the mountains. My target was wild boar, and at the very least, I wanted to catch a blue sheep.
With the system sensing on all the way, Chang Kun noticed that the prey in the mountains was actually quite abundant, with various pheasants, rabbits, and badgers appearing in his senses from time to time.
Chang Kun ignored them and led his father around the mountain fork in the road.
Suddenly, I sensed a huge creature, weighing at least seventy or eighty pounds.
He immediately became excited and led his father straight up the hill.
The trees on the hillside were not dense, with many fallen vines covered with small red and green wild fruits.
They had only taken thirty or forty steps up the hill when they heard a loud roar.
"Clang! Clang! ......"
The roar echoed across the hillside, causing the branches and leaves of the trees to rustle as if a monstrous beast lurked within.
When the sound reached Chang Kun's ears, he felt a tingling sensation on his scalp and a jolt throughout his body, as if an electric shock was passing through him.
"What is this?!"
The father and son were so shocked that their faces changed color.
