Chapter 23: Entering a New Era (Seeking Collection, Recommendation, and Anti-Harmony)
"A deer sells for 8,000 yuan, and each of the 20 of us can share 400, right? No wonder the third master asked us to hunt with Jia Lei, this is really a God of Wealth!" Jia Lao Liu said, at first they were reluctant to take a child like Jia Lei up the mountain.
"Smack!" Jia Yijia slapped him on the head.
"Your own children are also pitted, you are still not human, don't you buy one deer for 8,000 yuan, it is enough to buy two deer. Jia Yijia said that Jia Lei is the grandson of his second grandfather and the descendant of his grandfather's younger brother.
"This price is not what I want, is it given by Jia Lei himself?" Jia Lao Liu said unconvinced.
"Brother Lobby is right, it's all a family, we can't deceive children like this!" The others saw that Jia Yijia, the patriarch's grandson, opened their mouths, and hurriedly expressed their positions.
"Jia Lei, did you hear what we said? These two deer are given to you, and you are too much of a loss for 8,000 yuan for one deer!" Jia Yijia said.
"What's the loss! I'm not a family with fertile water that doesn't flow into outsiders' fields! Isn't this money still in Lao Jia's house? Jia Lei said nonchalantly.
Jia Lei has been rich again recently, and if it is 8,000 US dollars, he may still feel distressed, but he is really not distressed with 8,000 yuan.
"Since these two deer are mine, can I eat venison at night? I wanted to eat roast venison yesterday. Jia Lei looked at the deer and said with his eyes shining that he had also eaten venison after he became an explosive household in his previous life. It's so fragrant!
"If you want to eat venison, of course you can! But don't move these two big ones first, the guys on the mountain have limited things, and this deerskin can't be ruined! Jia Yijia said.
"Great, I'll be able to eat venison tonight. Jia Lei said happily, Dasha Le's mouth couldn't close.
"If you don't eat tonight, you'll eat tomorrow morning. The house was full of young men in their twenties and thirties, and if they ate venison at night, they would probably not be able to sleep. Jia Yijia said with a smile.
He forgot that venison was a big supplement......
****
"Hey!hey!" Jia Lei followed behind Dasha and watched the two dozen uncles and brothers in front of him pulling the plow.
"Jia Lei, I'm a little hot, why don't I go and help them work! I'm so energetic that I can carry that doe on my back. Dasha fanned the wind with his hat and said that he was greedy and that the guests had eaten two catties of venison in the morning.
Jia Lei was watched by the hall uncle and only ate about two taels, and now he is already warm and sunny, and others are also required to eat only half a catty, and those who can be hunters know that venison can't eat more, but who would have thought that Jia Yijia would eat too much if he didn't pay attention.
"Go, go! I told you not to eat so much, hurry up and do more work in front to vent!" Jia Lei said, Dasha immediately ran happily to help Jia Lao Liu and them pull the plow.
"Uncle Lobby is really smart, eating venison in the morning makes everyone eat a belly of fire, and there is no place to vent, one by one can only carry the prey home like a donkey. After Jia Lei finished speaking, he put the pheasant in his hand on his back and ran a few steps to join in the fun.
"Liutangbo, this pine branch plow is good, and it is convenient to walk fast. Jia Lei looked at the simple climbing plow made by several large dense pine branches tied together in front of him and said.
They went up the mountain for a bumper harvest this time, and the original climbing plow was not enough, so Jia Yijia and they took this kind of branch climbing plow from local materials.
"No, I'm good at my craft! The mountains are high and the road is far away, and if there is more prey, we will do it. Jia Lao Liu said.
"Jia Lei, can you still walk? If you can't walk, do the wooden climbing plow in front of you, that climbing plow is strong and doesn't like to be bad!" Jia Yijia said, compared to a child in this group of people, it doesn't weigh much to pull and walk.
"I can walk! I'm such a big man, what kind of plow do I sit on, and you don't have a horse, you rely on people to pull it! I'm embarrassed to sit. Jia Lei hurriedly waved his hand and said.
"What are you afraid of? Jia Xiaoliu asked his father to push him to the mill the year before last, and his family grinded 200 catties of rice, and he sat on it, which was not much lighter than a rice bag. Jia Yijia said that the children on their side are like this, and when they go out, they let them sit on a trolley or a plow.
"Uncle, don't talk nonsense, I'm helping my dad press the car! That bag of rice is heavy, put it on the car, the balance of the rear car is not good, I sit in front of it, just balanced. Jia Xiaoliu lowered his head in front and shouted loudly, he was pulling the plow, and it was difficult to turn back.
"Then I'll help you press the climbing plow!" Jia Lei ran over with a smile and sat on the branch climbing plow pulled by Jia Xiaoliu.
"You get up! Get up! You have sixty or seventy pounds, as heavy as a pig!" Jia Xiaoliu was pressed by Jia Lei's weight, and the hemp rope on his shoulder was pressed down by another point, but fortunately, there were four people in this climbing plow, and Jia Lei could still pull one more one.
"Oops! kill me!" Jia Lei suddenly jumped up holding his ass, and just now the plow bumped past a big rock.
The gap between the branches and the plow is large, and it doesn't work at all! Dead deer and rabbit don't know if it hurts, but Jia Lei's ass will suffer, and it is estimated that it should be red this time.
"Yes!" Jia Xiaoliu said with a spit and a laugh, and the others followed suit.
****
After eating venison, everyone went out of the mountain at about two o'clock in the afternoon, which was an hour faster than usual, but Jia Lei and they were blocked as soon as they came out of the mountain.
"Stop! Several rangers, two policemen, and a township cadre stopped Jia Lei and them at the mountain pass.
"Section Member Yang, what are you doing here, why are you blocking us?" Jia Yijia took out a box of cigarettes from his arms and handed it over and asked.
"A few days ago, on January 9, the People's Daily issued a notice, saying that it was for all localities to strengthen the protection of wild animals, and that there would be a wildlife law. Let's guard the intersections above, and we are not allowed to sell wild animals across provinces!" said Yang Branch.
"What about the prey we caught, do we want to confiscate it?" Jia Yijia asked.
"No, the newspaper has a notice but the official documents haven't come down yet. The main reason why we have come this time is to ban guns and hunting! The ban on hunting must be done slowly, because some of our villages are full of hunters, and it is impossible to smash all the people's jobs at once, so we may have to study and study them carefully! But as mentioned above, the matter of banning guns must be done immediately! Before the documents came down, the township sent us to collect guns at the mountain intersections one by one. Yang said.
"Fortunately, I came with me this time, but I didn't expect the wildlife protection law to come out so soon! I guess the next time I go up the mountain, I won't be allowed to fight anything but pheasants and rabbits. Jia Lei patted his chest and said happily, and then he glanced at his two deer again! Don't talk about eight thousand now, I'm afraid that wild deer will not be able to be bought with money in the future......
"Why don't you ban guns in the village to collect them? How cold is it in this mountain pass?" Jia Lei couldn't help but ask.
"There are also people in the village, but there are three or five shotguns in one village, and many people hide their guns when they hear this! Let us come here to guard, after all, many people have gone into the mountains to hunt and have not yet gotten the news.
At this time, the policemen had already gone up to confiscate the four shotguns carried by the hunting team, and Jia Lei was distressed to see that the silver shining and majestic double-barreled shotguns were taken away. Of course, there must be people who don't want to, but you can't grab it in front of the government!
"Jia Yijia, you also handed over the gun you were carrying, right?" said Yang Branchman, looking at him.
"I'm not a shotgun! I don't have to turn it in, right?" Jia Yijia asked.
"It's not a shotgun, it's even more important! Rifles are too dangerous. Section member Yang said and stretched out his hand.
"Give...... Hey!" Jia Yijia reluctantly wiped the gun again and again before handing it over.
"The guns have been handed in, what if there are wolves coming down the mountain in the future?" Jia Yijia asked, the mountains in the northeast are high and dense, and wolves occasionally attack the villages living in the mountains in winter.
"The above asked each village to set up a forest ranger team, and the rangers can bring guns, but guns and bullets must be registered, and they cannot be used indiscriminately. There have been so many soldiers in our county recently, do you think those beasts still dare to come down?" said Yang Branch.
Because everyone's beloved shotguns were taken away, the hunting team, which had been happy because of the bumper harvest, was now all depressed.
"What do you think, haven't you heard of the ban on martial arts? The ban on guns is something that will come sooner or later! Don't be sad, it's better to have a long pain than a short one. If you don't break the law if you have a gun now, you can hand it in as soon as possible, maybe it will be a crime to have a gun at home in two years, and I'm afraid you'll have to go to prison at that time. Jia Lei said that he wanted to remind the people in the village that he hoped that someone would not be confused.
"Are you back?" asked the third grandfather, they even brought prey to such a large number of people on the road, someone had already informed the people in the village, and the third grandfather Jia asked people to drive a carriage to pick them up.
"You guys are crying and sad one by one, didn't you hit the prey when you went into the mountains this time?" asked Jia Sanye, who felt that it might be bad to take Jia Lei and Dasha as a layman.
But when we went out of the mountain, we met the Yang staff in the township, and the shotguns were confiscated...... Jia Laoliu said distressedly.
"Hey, there's no way around it, let's go back, anyway, our village won't have to rely on hunting to eat in the future." If it's gone, it's gone!" said Jia Sanye.
****
Jia Lei and they received a warm welcome after returning to the village with their prey, and the people in the village looked at the wild deer robes that they had brought back and discussed buying meat, especially the two deer, even the townspeople heard about it and drove over to buy it.
"Not for sale! Not for sale! These two deer already have owners. Jia Yijia said.
"Please, you can sell it to me, can you? My second uncle finally came back from the Rotten Country, and our family has to get some good things to entertain the elders." Wu Niu ran over and said.
"I've already bought this deer, and it's going to cost 4,000 yuan for one one! Jia Lei said.
"What kind of pig to buy! My second uncle has explained that he must buy a deer, and he will take the three animals of deer, wild boar, and sheep to worship his ancestors! He said that he has not come back for 40 years, and he must give his ancestors a good sin! My second uncle opened a laundry shop in the corrupt country, and he is always rich! As soon as he made a move, he donated 10,000 pounds to our ancestral hall, which was worth more than 130,000 yuan. But more than 4,000 yuan a deer, our Wu family can afford it!" Wu Niu said proudly.
"Wu Niu, your second uncle, I also saw him when he was young, didn't he run away with others to rot the country when he was founded? More than ten years ago, when you went to the mountains and went to the countryside, didn't you say that he died, why is he alive again, and now he is so bold that he dares to go back to his hometown to worship his ancestors?" asked the third grandfather.
"What's that...... My second uncle said that on January 1 this year, our country issued a protection law, saying that it was specifically designed to protect the personal and property safety of overseas Chinese, and he came back when he saw this newspaper, just in time for this year's ancestor worship! I said you should sell those two deer to me, and my family will give me a cash guarantee that they will not pay on credit!" Wu Niu said.
"Don't sell it! Our old Jia family will also worship their ancestors this year, and that male deer is really good as a sacrifice. That doe will be sold to you for the sake of your second uncle, an overseas Chinese!" said the third master.
"Jia Lei, do you agree? After all, they are all from the same village, and they can't make their family look too bad! The deer will be returned to you after worshipping the ancestors. The third master asked.
"Of course I agree, I am also a member of the Jia family! After you sacrifice your ancestors, you only need to make a deer head for me as a specimen!" Jia Lei said, worshipping ancestors is a big deal in the countryside.
"I just have something to announce today, and I remember to call the Wu family to come to the village committee for a meeting in the evening. The third master said.
"Third Master Jia called the whole village to hold a meeting again, is there anything important?" Wu Niu asked.
"There's a new law on it, called the Land Management Implementation Regulations, and I've called everyone here to discuss it. Third Master Jia said.
"It's only been less than half a month after New Year's Day, how can the state have issued so many laws? Wu Niu muttered.
"It seems that Huaxia is about to enter the legal era! In the future, when the law is perfect, it will be difficult to ......exploit loopholes," Jia Lei sighed when he heard this.
After a series of events such as the founding of the country, construction, natural disasters, and cultural movements, in 1991, the Huaxia Zhengfu finally freed up its hands to formulate various laws, and Huaxia entered the legal era in this year.
