"That's okay, uncle, you're okay too, let's go to the side. ”

"Yes, yes. ”

Ye Lin took the middle-aged man to his stall, put the meat into the box, but it was actually put into the space, and then pushed the bicycle and the middle-aged man to the edge of the pigeon market.

"Uncle, you just said that a few wild boars came down from the mountain, and two big ones died, I want to ask, are there still a few little wild boars?"

"That's right, and three little wild boars. Uncle nodded.

Hearing that there were indeed little wild boars, Ye Lin was very excited, of course, this excitement was not shown on his face, but in his heart, and he hurriedly asked, "Then where are these three little wild boars now?"

"In the village!"

"Then can you take me to see it? After Ye Lin finished speaking, he was worried that the uncle would misunderstand, and hurriedly said: "It's such an uncle, I haven't seen what a wild boar looks like, so ......"

"No problem, what's this, I'll take you there now. ”

"Hmm. ”

Uncle is walking, but this is normal, in this era, except in the city, no matter where you go, you are basically walking, of course, if you are far away, you can go to take the bus.

On the way to the uncle's village, Ye Lin asked, "Uncle, are there a lot of wild boars in the mountains near your village?"

"Well, a lot, but rarely go down the mountain, and this time I don't know what's going on, but I ran down the mountain. ”

"That's it!"

Also, this era is not like later generations, there are still a lot of wild animals in the mountains, in later generations, these wild animals are basically beaten by people, and sometimes a few wild animals can not be found in a mountain.

Uncle's village is not far from Pigeon City, only a dozen miles, although the uncle is walking, but walking very fast, about an hour, came to the village where the uncle lives.

As soon as I entered the village, I heard a chaotic sound.

"Stop. ”

"Don't let it run. ”

"Stop. ”

When I walked in, it turned out that the villagers were catching a black pig, the pig was not big, at most a dozen catties, and the uncle turned around and said to Ye Lin: "This is a little wild boar." ”

"Ahh

Although the wild boar is fierce, but it is still a little pig after all, even if it is fierce, in the end it is only the share of being caught, after the little wild boar was caught, the uncle asked the village to understand what was going on.

It turned out that after these little wild boars were caught, the village found a place to lock them up, but I didn't expect this little wild boar to be wild, so he knocked down the circle and ran out.

"Uncle, please take me to meet your village chief. ”

"Village chief, you're talking about the branch secretary. ”

"Yes, yes, yes, the secretary. ”

"Okay, I'll take you there. ”

The uncle didn't take Ye Lin for a few steps, but he came to an old man in his fifties and sixties, turned around and said to Ye Lin: "This is the old party secretary of our village." After speaking, he said to the old man: "Branch secretary, this little comrade is looking for you." ”

In fact, the old branch secretary saw Ye Lin just now, because the stroller Ye Lin was riding was too eye-catching, and the reason why he didn't go up to ask was because he was the branch secretary, and second, he didn't know Ye Lin's identity.

"Little one, what are you looking for me?" the old branch secretary was very kind.

"Grandpa, I heard from my uncle that you caught a few little wild boars in your village, so I'll come over and take a look. ”

"Oh, I came to see the little boar, look. The old branch secretary pointed to a pigsty built of stones.

"I've seen it just now, but I've seen it. ”

"Well, there are three of them. are all in the circle, originally thinking of raising them, but I didn't expect this little wild boar to be so fierce. ”

This is the difference between wild boars and domestic pigs, think of wild boars in the mountains, that is free, you can say that you can go wherever you want, now keep them in the pen, back and forth in such a big place, of course, let them not get used to it.

"See, it's really fierce. ”

"Little one, you're from the city, aren't you?"

"Well, yes. ”

"Then how did you meet Da Kui?" the old branch secretary pointed to the uncle who brought him over.

It turned out that the uncle's name was Da Kui, the same as the name of a seasoning, but in that era, there was really no particular attention to the name, maybe when he saw something, he took the child's name.

Ye Lin didn't say that he met in the pigeon market, and the uncle probably didn't want others to know that he sold the meat that was distributed to their family, so he told a white lie and said, "I met on the road." ”

"Oh, the city is so far from here, how did you get here?"

People in this era are very kind, and there is no abduction and trafficking of children, too, their own children can't be raised, who still wants other people's children.

"Isn't this a holiday! Come to the suburbs to have fun if you have nothing to do. ”

"Then you ran so far, does your family know?"

"I don't know. ”

Hearing Ye Lin say this, the old branch secretary shook his head, probably because Ye Lin ran out secretly, and also, in the old branch secretary's mind, the children in the city are more expensive, and adults will not let them run around.

This can only be said that the old branch secretary does not know the city, only Ye Lin, who lives in the city, knows that the children in the city are not more expensive than the children in the countryside, and in this era, it is normal for a family to have five or six children, and there are even more than a dozen.

In the countryside, if you don't have enough to eat, go to the field to dig some wild vegetables, go to the mountains to pick some wild fruits, or go to the ditch to catch a few fish.

But in the city, there is no place to eat where there is no food, and there is no place to dig wild vegetables, no place to pick wild fruits, and no place to catch fish.

"Let's go, go to my house, I'll ask my daughter-in-law to cook you something to eat, and let someone send you back after eating." ”

"Wait a minute. Ye Lin pulled the old branch secretary's clothes.

"What's wrong?"

"Old branch secretary, I want to ask, do you sell these three little wild boars?"

"Uh!" the old branch secretary paused for a moment and asked, "Are you here to buy a little wild boar?"

Hearing the old branch secretary ask, Ye Lin said: "I'm here to buy a little wild boar, as for what to buy a little wild boar, I can't say this." ”

Seeing that Ye Lin was dodging and didn't want to say, the old branch secretary misunderstood again, thinking that Ye Lin bought the little wild boar to go back to eat, but he had heard that in the city, those rich families like to eat roast suckling pig.

Seeing Ye Lin dressed brightly and riding a small bicycle, the old branch secretary regarded him as a child of those rich families in the city.

If it was morning, Ye Lin came to buy it, and the old branch secretary would definitely not sell it, because he still wanted to raise them, but from morning to now, these three little wild boars have run twice.

It's like this when I'm still young, if I grow up, it is estimated that one will run into the mountains without paying attention, and then the bamboo basket will be empty.

"Sell, how much do you give?"

"I'll give ten dollars a head. ”

"Ten...... Ten bucks a head?"

Originally, the old branch secretary thought that Ye Lin would give three yuan and two yuan, but he never thought that he would give ten yuan a piece, like this little wild boar of more than ten catties, there is no meat at all.

To put it mildly, after removing the internal organs and bones, it is only a few catties of meat at most, and because it is too small, there is no fat at all, just a few catties of tender meat that is not very delicious, Ye Lin actually spent ten yuan to buy it.

"Yes, ten dollars a head. ”

"Okay, I've sold it to you. ”

In this era, the branch secretary in the village is a good word, he alone can represent the whole village, and no one will object, besides, three little wild boars, sold for thirty yuan at once, then according to the head, a person can also share two cents.

This village is not very big, there are only more than 20 households, 145 people, 30 yuan, the average family can get more than a piece of money, in the city this more than a piece of money is nothing, but in the countryside, this more than a piece of money is a lot.

In the city, you can go to work and make money, but in the countryside, you can only farm, there is no way to get money at all, and the only place to get money is to divide some money when the grain is distributed at the end of the year.

"Thank you, the old branch secretary. ”

"Thank you for what I do, if you want to say thank you, I also thank you. ”

After making sure that the old branch secretary really sold the three little wild boars to himself, Ye Lin followed the old branch secretary to his house, the old branch secretary's home was in the middle of the village chief, the main house was three adobe houses, and there were two side rooms on the west side, one was a kitchen and the other was a storage room.

The old branch secretary's family has more than a dozen people, the old branch secretary's old mother, lover, son, daughter-in-law, and four or five grandchildren, which can be said to be a big family.

The four or five grandchildren of the old branch secretary are not much different in age from Ye Lin, the eldest is two or three years older than Ye Lin, the younger one is two or three years younger, and there is the same age difference as Ye Lin.

Seeing grandpa come in with a good-looking child, several children looked at Ye Lin after shouting grandpa, probably wanting to know who he was.

"Ye Lin from the city here, he is having dinner at our house at noon today, you can't bully him. The old branch secretary said to a few grandchildren.

"Got it, grandpa. ”

Then the old branch secretary introduced Ye Lin to his old mother, lover, son, daughter-in-law, the old branch secretary's mother is a kind old man, who looks seventy or eighty years old.

To be honest, in this era, it is really not easy to live at such an old age.

After Ye Lin said hello one by one, the old branch secretary said to his daughter-in-law: "Go cook, scramble more eggs." ”

"Good father. ”

After his daughter-in-law went to cook, the old branch secretary said to Ye Lin: "After eating, I will let someone send you back." ”

"Well, thank you Lao Zhishu, this section of the road is not very good, my box is loaded with three little wild boars, I guess it's really not good. ”

Hearing Ye Lin say this, the old branch secretary nodded, Ye Lin's box, the space is no problem, it is more than enough to hold three little wild boars, but just like Ye Lin said, the road from the village to the city is not good, and if you load three little wild boars, I am afraid you will not be able to carry them at all.
