At this time, there were two ways in front of him, one was to drag the badger back like last time, and the other was to go home directly, bring the old man, and ask him to help carry the badger pig back.

He chose the first option, because he was not at ease, he was afraid that the badger pig would be seen by others, and when he went back, he "cut off the badger pig".

Anyway, it doesn't matter if you're tired, it's okay to rest for a day or two, but seeing that the money you are going to get is lost, it's not okay!

Therefore, after hesitating for less than a minute, he flew down the four-meter-high hurdle and landed firmly on the ground, his shoes sinking into the fluffy ground.

Looking back at the badger pig, he was finally sure that the badger pig was dead, no wonder he hadn't noticed any movement, no wonder he always felt that the clamp had not been triggered, and he couldn't have died last night, but the main reason was that he was afraid of leaving too many traces, so he didn't observe it closely.

On the way back, he took out a firewood knife from his back pocket, cut some branches of a pine tree, tied the badger pig to it, and dragged it home again.

This time he really couldn't bear it, on a hot day, coupled with the distance twice as far as last time, when he arrived at home, his hands and legs began to cramp.

The cramps are very serious, and the more they cramp, the more painful they become, if it weren't for the fact that the master saw that this was not right, and hurriedly broke his cramping hands and feet, it is estimated that he would have convulsions.

So then the task of soup pig (dialect, that is, dealing with the slaughtered pig, i.e., shaving, belly breaking, etc.) was handed over to his grandfather.

The girl sat on a small wooden stool on the side, obediently watching her grandfather busy, and Guo Qu was also sitting on the side, panting, nearly two kilometers away, all mountain roads, and more than sixty pounds of badger pigs, he was a child less than ten years old, and he was dragged home alone, and he must have lost his strength at this time.

"Pot, pot, I'm afraid. The girl saw that her grandfather was holding a pig-killing knife, reflecting white light in the blazing sun, so she looked very scared.

"Don't be afraid, Xiaojing, this badger pig has been sold for money, and my brother will buy you wheat baba. ”

"Really?"

"Of course it's true. ”

"The man is not afraid. ”

The short and childish dialogue, the little girl's fear, coming and going fast, the logic of children is really not something that adults can understand.

It took about an hour for the badger pig to be processed by Grandpa Guo, and after removing the fur and internal organs, it was only about forty catties.

The old man carried the entrails into a pit on the mountain and threw them, and then the three grandparents and grandchildren carried the badger pork and the pig-killing knife on their backs and walked out into the street again.

Due to the word-of-mouth formed yesterday, this time Guo Qu had not yet opened his mouth to sell, and someone surrounded him.

Although people were poor in this era and there were many wild things, the people on the streets of the towns still rarely ate wild things.

In less than an hour, the badger pork was sold out.

As yesterday, Guo Qu and the old man had already weighed at home, just forty pounds, but the scale rod was just flat.

But only 37 catties were sold, and 3 catties were "embezzled" by customers, which is not an unavoidable thing.

But the old man still has some heartache, after all, it's three catties of meat, that's nine yuan, and one more piece is enough for the old man to pay for two months' debts.

Guo Qu could only comfort the old man and said: To do business, you must know how to suffer losses, and losses are blessings.

The old man also understands the truth, but he understands it, but he still feels heartache. Guo Qu didn't have the slightest way to deal with this.

Guo went to buy four more wheat baba for Xiaojing according to the promise, the girl was very happy, this time she couldn't help it, she ate it directly, and after eating one, she added the corners of her mouth with some unfinished thoughts, because there were still residual wheat baba crumbs at the corners of her mouth.

"Is it delicious?" asked Guo Qu, patting the girl's head playfully.

The girl's eyes narrowed with laughter, and she replied, "It's delicious."

"So, is it okay to divide my brother?"

The girl immediately stopped laughing, then looked at her brother seriously, and then looked down at the wheat baba in her arms, it is estimated that she was very hesitant at this time.

On one side is my brother, and on the other side is the delicious wheat baba, what should I do? As for how the wheat baba came about, it is no longer in the scope of the little girl's consideration at this time.

The girl hesitated, and finally took out a wheat cake and handed it to Guo.

It's just that her eyes are full of reluctance, because the wheat baba is really sweet and delicious, and she only ate three.

As soon as he stretched out his hand holding the rice cake, he immediately said, "Pot, you have to give half to grandpa." ”

"Grandpa is not hungry. When the old man heard the girl's words, a bright smile appeared on his face, this granddaughter is so young, she is so filial, and she didn't hurt her in vain.

Guo went to squat down and take the girl's wheat baba, and then returned it to the girl, and then scraped the girl's nose, and said, "Brother is not hungry, brother teases sister." ”

When the girl heard this, she took the wheat cake, and then held it carefully, for fear that someone would come to snatch her wheat cake.

Seeing this, Guo couldn't help but smile silently, and then felt a little sad, one dime a dime, three cents and four wheat baba, but the girl was regarded as a baby.

At this time, although the sun was sinking in the west, the heat remaining in the sky had not yet dissipated, and the sweat on Guo Qu's body had soaked the shirt that had been sewn many times, so he hesitated again, and then walked to the store and bought three packs of ice packs.

Three packs of ice packs, a dime a bag, if you wait another five or six years, no one thinks it's expensive, and now, many people think it's too expensive.

But there is no way, this is a mountainous area, and ice packs have to be purchased from the city hundreds of kilometers away, and there are few shops in this town that sell them, so a dime is worth a bag.

The old man has a lot of opinions on this, he thinks that this is a waste of money, but the money is earned by Guo, and he doesn't say much, but his face is still a little distressed.

Three bags of ice packs, just one bag per person, when it was the old man's turn, he didn't take it, but said, "I don't like this ice cube, you can divide it." ”

Guo went to know that on this hot day, where did the old man not like ice packs, and they were ice packs that were frozen into ice cubes, and he could feel the coolness when he held it in his hand.

"Grandpa take it, I haven't drunk water this afternoon, and the weather is hot, so this is just enough to cool us down. ”

The old man took the ice pack, and then honestly held it in his hand, reluctant to bite off a corner and sip the melted sweet water.

The girl was curious to hold the ice pack, and she didn't know how to eat it, but the feeling of the ice pack made her like it very much, so she also learned from the old man and held it in her hand.

It's just that less than thirty seconds have passed, and the girl can't stand the cold feeling, throws the ice pack on the ground, and then grabs a corner embarrassedly, picks it up and continues to hold it.
