Siheyuan, don't mess with me

When you are extremely hungry, even a bite of food may lead to a bloody fight. Don't challenge human nature!

"Don't talk nonsense about what happened today, not even to your own wife. We have to make sure our children don't go hungry!" Grandma's words were a bit selfish, but with such a small amount of food, it was not enough for the whole family to eat, and if she gave it to others, not to mention how much she could support, even if it got out, it would be enough for her family to eat a pot. Where would the food come from? If she implicated her eldest grandson, the old lady would hang herself!

Knowing the seriousness of the problem, the three uncles nodded. Being dumb in words doesn’t mean being dumb in brains!

"And don't let the fourth child know! He has a big mouth, big brother, you better keep an eye on him, if he says anything wrong, I'll beat him up!" "Although grandpa loves the fourth child very much, this matter is of great importance and the fourth child cannot say anything wrong!

"Got it, Dad. We'll keep an eye on the fourth one!"

Before going back, Chen Zhiguo secretly called a few uncles aside. At his eldest uncle's house, Chen Zhiguo took out ten dried wild rabbits and said, "Uncles, chop them up and cook them into porridge for the children, grandma, and grandpa to increase their nutrition! I'll come again when I have the chance. There will be more for you after you finish eating. Don't be reluctant to give them up!"

Wang Jiaguo patted Chen Zhiguo on the shoulder and said, "I got it, Zhiguo!" The uncles were not talkative, but they were really touched. This nephew is really good, and the eldest sister is so lucky!

Driving back to Chenjia Village, Chen Zhiguo's jeep could only carry 300 rabbits at a time. After unloading, Chen Zhiguo drove out again and waited for more than an hour, and brought back another truckload. This was the last batch, and it was enough for Chenjia Village to distribute!

After finishing all these, Chen Zhiguo went up the mountain with his tools. Although there would be no hunters hunting in spring because the prey needed time to reproduce and grow, it was still okay to kill a few wild boars and wolves!

This is also a legitimate way to increase the meat supply at grandma's house. Otherwise, there is really no way to explain where your meat comes from.

After entering the mountain, Chen Zhiguo let go of his speed. He didn't even think about the nearby hills. He wanted to go to the place where he hunted last time. There should be something good in that water source! He ran in the forest at full speed, as fast as lightning. It was refreshing to be in a place that he was familiar with, relaxed and free!

Just when Chen Zhiguo arrived at the water source and crouched for more than an hour, he saw a group of wild boars coming over to drink water!

In the forests, groups of wild boars are invincible. Even tigers dare not provoke them. If the wild boars go crazy and chase you, can you defeat a group of wild boars charging towards you?

There are more than a dozen wild boars in this group. The leader is not very heavy, about 300 pounds. There are four or five others weighing more than 200 pounds. The remaining seven or eight small wild boars weigh about 100 pounds!

Swish! Swish! Swish! Three javelins flew out and pierced through the heads of three wild boars respectively. Then, the five or six javelins taken out from the space started to call out names! The small ones were not hit, and the sows were not hit either. Three fatter wild boars were hit, and the rest were left to fend for themselves! After they survived the autumn, they would grow a belly full of fat again!

After putting the six wild boars into the space, Chen Zhiguo started to rush home again! On the hill near his home, Chen Zhiguo cut down a few small trees, made a simple wooden raft, and put two wild boars on it!

Seeing Chen Zhiguo dragging two big wild boars back, grandpa and grandma were numb. As long as Chen Zhiguo went up the mountain, there would be a harvest!

Chen Zhiguo kept one at home and handed the remaining one to Chen Dalong. After dealing with the wild boar in the Chen family courtyard, Chen Dalong arranged for people to carry the two pigs to the village office and began to organize the distribution of the meat!

"Before we share the meat, let me say a few words. This pork was brought by my fourth uncle's eldest grandson, Chen Zhiguo. When you eat the meat, you should know who you should thank!

In addition, everyone has a rough idea of ​​the wheat harvest this year! So what should we do in the face of such a reduction in grain production?

We cannot expect a bumper harvest in the fall to make up for the current poor harvest. It is dangerous to rely on God for our livelihood!

We have to take action now. It is better to rely on ourselves than on the sky or the earth! We have four production groups in total. Now, one group of elderly people is going up the mountain to open up wasteland. We want to plant drought-resistant sweet potatoes, potatoes, and pumpkins! At the same time, you should also plant them in front of and behind your house. If you harvest more, you will be less hungry in the future!

There is also a group of women who went up the mountain to pick wild vegetables. They brought back everything edible from the mountain. We should start to eat them now to save food! The leftovers should be dried and kept for later use. We should be prepared for hard times!

The remaining two groups of young and strong people, the work in the fields will be handed over to you. Don't complain. Except for the wheat harvest when everyone works together, all the work in the fields will be handed over to you from now on!

You are all strong men in the village, and good at farming. How to harvest more grain under the current drought is what you need to find a way to do!

One more thing, don’t tell anyone else what I said today, rather than your in-laws or my mother-in-law’s family. I know you have a good relationship with them, but this is a big matter concerning the lives of everyone in our village. I want you to watch your mouths, especially your wives’ mouths. From now on, don’t go back to your mother’s house if you can avoid it. Even if you have to go back for something urgent, you have to keep your mouth shut and don’t say anything!

If I know about it, you will be driven out of the village. Whoever you told will have to live with him. We in Chenjia Village don't want people who betray their own people!

Okay, now let’s divide the meat! One last thing to say, don’t be greedy, you’ll finish the meat in a few days. Hang it on the beam to dry, it will be delicious for a long time!

While Chen Dalong was speaking to the villagers, Chen Zhiguo was also busy. With so much meat, they couldn't eat it all, so they needed to smoke the meat so that it could be stored for a longer time!

Chen Zhiguo went up the mountain to collect a lot of pine branches, divided the meat into two-pound pieces, and began to smoke it. This is a slow process and one cannot be impatient!

While the wild boar was being smoked, Chen Zhiguo cut off the fattest part of the wild boar. The large chunks of fat were cut into mahjong pieces and given to his grandmother to make lard. At the same time, an earthen stove was built in the yard. The cleaned pig's head and trotters were put into the pot and braised. After a few hours, the pig's stomach, large intestine, and lungs were put in turn. The pig's heart and liver, which were easier to cook, were put into the pot last!

At night, in the small courtyard of the Chen family, Chen Zhiguo, his grandfather, and his second uncle were drinking and watching the fire. They had to add firewood to the smoking side and watch the pot for the braised food!

Freshly-cooked pig hearts, pork strips and pig livers are steaming hot. Cut them into a large plate, crush some garlic, green peppers and red peppers, and make a dipping sauce. They are so delicious!

Chen Zhiguo took out a bottle of soaked wine and said, "Second Uncle, let's drink some good wine today!"

Without a trademark, Chen Dahu couldn't recognize what kind of wine it was. "I found this in a supply and marketing cooperative warehouse in the Northeast. The packaging was soaked in water!"

"Is this the table?" Chen Dahu picked up the bottle and looked at it. The bottle mouth was sealed well, so he couldn't tell anything. After Chen Zhiguo poured the wine, Chen Dahu couldn't wait to take a sip. "What does it taste like? Why is it different from other wines?"

"This is a sauce-flavored liquor. We drank light-flavored liquor before. The taste is definitely different. You'll get used to it after drinking it a few times!"

"besides?"

"Of course, it's enough for you to drink!" Chen Zhiguo boasted.

"Just drink one bottle to try it. This bottle will probably cost seven or eight yuan if sold!" Grandpa is knowledgeable and knows that the bottle is not cheap!

Chen Dahu lowered his head and calculated how much his glass of wine would cost. He felt a little painful. The most important thing was that he was not used to the taste of this wine!

Chapter 139 Wang Meihua suffered an unexpected disaster!

The three generations of grandparents and grandchildren sat in the yard, watching the fire, drinking wine and eating braised meat, leisurely. With the warmth of the earthen stove, it wouldn't be cold at night!

The pig's head and trotters in the big pot are already cooked enough, and the larger firewood has been removed, leaving some residual fire, and slowly simmering it over low heat!

The second uncle poked with chopsticks, and when the heat was right, he picked up a big pig's trotter with force, and the bones were a little separated from the stew. He ignored the burning sensation and took a big piece of pig skin into his mouth, "Delicious! Delicious! Zhiguo, you should try one too!"

Grandpa looked at his second uncle with disdain, "No need, second uncle, I'm full, you eat!"

"Let's go! Zhiguo, go back to sleep. Lao Er, you watch over the fire. If you smoke the meat, I will make sure you never get to eat a piece of meat again!"

"Don't worry! Dad, go to sleep, I'll watch over you!" The second uncle replied without even raising his head.

The next morning, before Chen Zhiguo got up, he heard his grandfather scolding his second uncle outside, "I asked you to watch the fire, why is the smoked meat cold? How many pig's trotters did you eat last night, and did you drink all the wine?"

"Old man, why are you yelling? My eldest grandson hasn't woken up yet! Take him out and teach him a lesson!" Grandma said dissatisfiedly. When Chen Zhiguo went out, he saw Grandpa kicking his second uncle and walking out. The small table that was moved out last night was full of bones! It seems that the second uncle ate a lot last night. No wonder Grandpa was angry early in the morning. It was probably because the second uncle drank too much last night and fell asleep, and didn't watch the fire!

"You woke up so early, did the old man wake you up?" Grandma came forward and asked with concern.

"It's okay, I get up here every day, I'm used to it!"

Chen Zhiguo looked at the big pot. The pig head inside was already rotten. He then looked at the smoked meat. It was estimated that the fire went out in the middle of the night. The meat was not smoked very well. No wonder his grandfather was angry. They could just eat the wine and meat. We were all family, but we couldn't be lazy and waste the meat!

Breakfast was rice porridge, steamed buns with pork head, minced garlic, coriander, and chili peppers. It was so delicious! Chen Zhiguo ate three steamed buns in one breath before he put down his chopsticks! His grandmother was so happy that her grandson ate so deliciously, she was happier than she was when she ate meat herself!

After bidding farewell to his grandparents, Chen Zhiguo drove back to the city. He felt more relieved after returning to replenish food for his grandparents. The investigation at the steel mill would not be easy, and Chen Zhiguo didn't know if he would have time to rest!

After leaving Chenjia Village, Chen Zhiguo did not rush back to the city, but drove to his grandmother's house!

When grandpa opened the gate, he asked, "Zhiguo, you haven't returned to the city yet?"

"Let's go now," Chen Zhiguo saw that there were no neighbors watching, so he quickly took two sacks from the car and threw them into the cellar!

"what's that?"

"I hunted some wild boar meat in the mountains yesterday. I have packed it up at grandma's house. You can wait for your uncle to come back and see how to store it!"

"Why don't you take it home and eat it? Why give the meat to us?" Grandpa was anxious. What time is it now? The price of meat has skyrocketed. The family only had meat to eat when Zhiguo came back last time. Otherwise, they couldn't afford it. Of course, they couldn't buy it even if they had money!

There is a lot of meat in this sack, at least a hundred pounds! Even if the relationship is close, my daughter is now a member of the Chen family, how can I just accept it like this? If my in-laws know about this, it will be so embarrassing! I am greedy and shameless, no! I can't take this meat!

"Take the meat back quickly, we can't have it!" Grandpa said angrily. It is a good thing for his grandson to be filial, and it makes the old man happy, but things can't be done like this!

Chen Zhiguo understood what his grandfather meant and quickly explained, "Grandpa! We have it at home, don't worry! Grandpa and grandma also have it, so you should have it here too! Grandpa and grandma asked me to bring it here!"

World-weary Jun Yang ⑦1 ④⒋ Eight ㈥ ⑦ Seven ０

Chen Zhiguo's words made the grandfather speechless. Such a filial child, the more he looked at him, the more he loved him! Such a generous in-law, what kind of blessing did his daughter accumulate in her previous life to meet such a good family!

No, I must teach my daughter a lesson when she comes back. It is not okay for a man to cook in the kitchen and spoil his wife. If it gets out, will the Wang family still have face? The family tradition is not right and the children are not well educated!

Wang Meihua never expected that her son, who had good intentions, sent meat to her parents' home, would end up teaching her a lesson! Should she be happy or depressed?

Before my grandfather, who was brainstorming, could react, he said, "Grandpa, grandma, I'm going back. I'm going to be busy during this period. I'll come to see you when I'm done. Don't be frugal. Taking good care of your health is the most important thing. Otherwise, mom and I will be worried about you!"

"Got it. Your grandma and I will definitely have a good meal!"

Watching Chen Zhiguo go away, grandpa's face darkened and he said to his wife, "When our daughter comes back, we must teach her a lesson. It's too much. How can we face our in-laws!" After that, he went out with his hands behind his back and hurried to find his son to deal with the meat. By the way, the fourth son, that bastard, must not be allowed to know about it!

At first, grandma didn't understand why the old man was so angry at her daughter, but then she thought about what her daughter did at Old Chen's house, and thought that her eldest grandson had to cook at home. What kind of woman would be like this? I taught her like this since she was a child, and she was lazy, so she said angrily, "Yes! We need to educate her well. We can't let her ruin the reputation of our Old Wang family!"

Wang Meihua will definitely be very depressed when she finds out. Is it wrong for my husband and son to feel sorry for me?

Today is Friday, and Chen Zhiguo still has two days to rest at home. During these two days, he plans to sort out his thoughts at home and think about how to carry out the research on the steel mill!

But the weather did not go as planned. Before we drove home, it got dark, and then a strong wind blew. Not long after, heavy rain began to fall!

It was not a good thing to have the wheat rain at this time. The wheat was about to mature and some of the early-ripening wheat had already been harvested. However, whether it was in the fields or drying on the threshing floor, a heavy rain destroyed the fruits of the farmers' hard work for half a year! This was simply adding insult to injury!

Chen Zhiguo was in a very bad mood and felt very depressed! However, this kind of reason that humans could not resist made him unable to use his strength!

I drove the car to the school gate slowly and with difficulty, but it was too late and the children had already finished school!

Chen Zhiguo started the car again and rushed towards home. Not long after, he saw the three sisters of the Chen family hiding under the eaves of a shop with their schoolbags in their arms!

"Brother!" Chen Xiaoli was sharp-eyed and saw Chen Zhiguo's GAZ-69 from a distance. After the three children got on the bus, except for their chests and the schoolbags they were holding tightly, the rest of their bodies were soaked, and the rain flowed down their hair! After getting on the bus, the three Chen sisters sneezed one after another!

Chen Zhiguo did not dare to delay and drove home. He was afraid of catching a cold. The alternation of cold and hot weather would make it easy to get sick!

The heavy rain continued to fall, with no sign of stopping! When Chen Zhiguo got home, he sent the three sisters back to their room to change clothes, and he went to the kitchen to make ginger soup for them!

The rain has been falling outside the window, and there is no sign of the sky clearing up. It is so dark, as if a huge stone is pressing on people's hearts!

After the three sisters drank the ginger soup, their faces turned slightly red. Chen Zhiguo felt their foreheads and found that they were all fine, with no signs of fever. This made Chen Zhiguo feel relieved!

The central courtyard of the quadrangle was shrouded in heavy rain, and not even a single person could be seen!

He Daqing sat at the door smoking boredly. Jia Zhangshi and Qin Huairu ate something simple and then lay down on the bed for a nap!

First, you can’t go out on rainy days!

Second, the food jar at home is about to run out. If you don’t feel hungry, just eat something and lie down. Walking around also consumes food!

Chen Wanyi looked at the leaking roof worriedly. It started out as small drops, which slowly turned into big drops, and now have turned into a connected line and a long stream of water!

Chen Wanyi took a basin and a bucket, but it was still not enough. There were still several places where rain was leaking. If it was leaking on the ground, Chen Wanyi would have just left it alone. But the leak was on the wardrobe. Chen Wanyi wanted to take out the clothes and bedding inside, but where was there a dry place in the house?

Through the window, the helpless Chen Wanyi saw the leisurely He Daqing, as if she saw hope!

"Daqing!" Chen Wanyi stood at the door and waved to He Daqing!

There was no umbrella at home, so He Daqing went out with an old rain cloth on his head. "What's going on?" He Daqing stood at the door and did not go in.

Chen Wanyi pulled him in and said, "Come and take a look, it's almost flooded!"

The living room outside was better. Except for the water on the ground, the roof was not leaking! Once I entered the bedroom, it was like entering a water curtain cave!

The floor was filled with pots, buckets, and a long, unattended running water source. "What should I do? Daqing!" Chen Wanyi was anxious but also a little depressed. It was really hard for a lonely woman without anyone to rely on!

"Don't be anxious!" He Daqing saw at a glance that the place that needed the most protection at the moment was the wardrobe. The bedding on the bed had been rolled up, and a basin was placed at the head of the bed to collect water!

He Daqing stood directly on the bed, took off the rain cloth he was wearing, and covered the wardrobe with it. The water flowed down the rain cloth to the ground, and the clothes in the wardrobe were temporarily saved!

"Wait a minute, I'll get the ladder. We have a large tarp at home. Let's put it on the roof for now and repair it when the weather is better!"
