Chapter 0008: Uncle

Seeing that the farm, which has worked hard for four months, is about to have a harvest, Wang Fumin, Ma Zhentang and He Jiaxiang, three chicken farmers, are very excited.

It takes a lot of people to walk the chickens at night, so the three families are busy calling relatives and friends and asking them to come over at night to help.

Taohualing Village is not large, with only 87 households and 278 people. Most of the male laborers have gone out to work, and the rest are the old, weak, sick and disabled who are not useful, and they cannot be counted on.

In addition to the four households on the poultry side of the breeding area, the other four households raising pigs will definitely come to help.

In this way, there are almost ten ready-made laborers.

The male laborers of the eight farmers are counted, plus Wang Shaodong and Ma Lili are exactly ten people, and the two of them can be responsible for bookkeeping.

Wang Fumin's brothers themselves have two older sisters, but they are both older, and it is not appropriate to ask them to come over to help. And the children of Wang Fumin's two sisters' families have become families, and they have also gone out to work, so they can't help either. Therefore, all Wang Fumin can invite is the labor of Wang Shaodong's three uncles.

In the end, Wang Fumin called Wang Shaodong's three uncles and two uncles' cousins, and in addition, Wang Fumin also called two friends from his neighboring villages. In this way, with his son and wife, there will be a total of ten helpers tonight.

Among them, four people are responsible for catching chickens, one is responsible for weighing, one is responsible for bookkeeping, and four are responsible for loading, which can barely cope with it.

Before Wang Shaodong got up, he heard the hearty laughter of his uncle Zhao Shihai.

Zhao Shihai is only twelve years older than Wang Shaodong, and he is just thirty this year. From childhood to adulthood, Wang Shaodong's favorite thing is to follow his uncle Zhao Shihai all over the mountains and wilderness.

Zhao Shihai's knowledge in the mountains is very surprising, he knows many wild flowers, wild fruits, wild grasses and wild vegetables, he knows which grass has pheasants and hares, he will set traps to catch game, he will also be skilled in disemboweling the hare next to the spring water at the foot of the nose of the king of Hades, and then use wild sour jujube branches to roast the hare Huang Chengcheng, the oil is moist, so that the whole Wujiayuzi is floating with the fragrance of barbecue, a bite of roast rabbit meat is full of oil, and the fragrance can make people float up.

In short, Wang Shaodong feels that there is always countless fun with his uncle.

After hearing his uncle's voice, Wang Shaodong quickly got dressed and walked out of his bedroom.

The brother-in-law stood in the cement-hardened patio of Wang's house, looking at the vegetable garden on the east side of the courtyard, chatting with Wang Fumin, and happened to have his back to Wang Shaodong who came out of his house.

Wang Shaodong tiptoed and quietly touched the back of his uncle, and then like a hunter who quietly approached his prey, he was so busy jumping up that he jumped towards Zhao Shihai's back.

"Uncle!"

Zhao Shihai's body was very strong, and he was pounced on by a young man weighing one hundred and twenty pounds behind him, and his body only leaned forward slightly, but his feet did not move at all. Perhaps, Zhao Shihai had already seen Wang Shaodong's attempt, but just now he was just cooperating with his nephew and pretending not to see it.

Wang Shaodong and his brother-in-law have a very good relationship.

Wang Shaodong hugged his brother-in-law's neck affectionately, and Wang Fumin next to him sighed and said, "I'm about to find a daughter-in-law, and I'm still like a child." ”

Wang Shaodong said in his heart: Dad, even when I was in my thirties, when I saw my brother-in-law, it was the same as now.

Zhao Shiling next to him walked over, glared at Wang Shaodong and said, "Okay, okay, don't be big or small, come down quickly." ”

Zhao Shihai turned around, and easily got rid of Wang Shaodong's control, and then he looked at his nephew with a smile and asked, "Dongzi, it's okay for you to go to Tsinghua this time, right?"

Everyone knows that Wang Shaodong's academic performance is very good, and the walls of his home are plastered with his awards, which is the best proof.

However, Wang Shaodong wants to know that when the results of this year's college entrance examination are announced, I don't know what kind of reaction everyone will make.

"Uncle, do you think Tsinghua is so easy to get into?"

In fact, Zhao Shihai knows very little about going to school, he is the youngest child in his grandmother's family, and he dropped out of school before graduating from primary school.

"What's the matter? My nephew can't get into Tsinghua University? So, what can you take the test?"

Wang Shaodong joked and told the truth: "I won't go up to anything, I will follow you up the mountain all day long in the future." ”

Zhao Shihai's means of making a living are very peculiar, he mainly relies on digging some herbs from the mountains, catching some insects, and getting some game to sell for money.

The place where Dazhai Village is located is a branch of the Taishan Mountains, the mountains and ravines, vertical and horizontal eight forks, there are many herbs, whole scorpions, turtles, centipedes, pheasants, foxes, hares and so on in the mountains, after getting their hands, they can be exchanged for money.

Don't look at Zhao Shihai's peculiar means of making a living, but the tickets for the white flowers he buys out from this ravine every year are not a lot at all.

Wang Shaodong heard his mother Zhao Shiling say that his brother-in-law earned more than 30,000 yuan last year. This income can be worth the income of two people who go out to work.

When Zhao Shihai heard his nephew say this, he immediately frowned: "That's not good, it's useless to be so much." ”

In the eyes of the ordinary people in the mountains, people like Zhao Shihai are actually called unproductive and unproductive, and even Zhao Shihai himself looks down on himself. Those who are really promising, in the eyes of the ordinary people in the mountains, are cultural people, and are people who have been admitted to universities and taken root in the city. During the New Year's holidays, everyone is very envious of those cultural people who go out from the countryside to live the life of city people and then return to the countryside for the New Year.

However, perhaps only those city people who have gone out from the countryside can truly know the pain in their hearts and the beauty of the free and loose life in the mountain villages.

Life is like this, I always think that what I can't get is the best.

"You two, you don't have the appearance of being an uncle, and you don't have the shape of a nephew when you are a nephew, hurry up and wash your hands for me, come to dinner!"

Wang Shaodong's mother, Zhao Shiling, made breakfast, and then beckoned everyone to the house to eat.

Zhao Shihai and Wang Shaodong scratched their heads a little embarrassed, and then obediently followed Zhao Shiling to eat.

After entering the house, Wang Shaodong saw his brother-in-law open the large glass bottle of his father's wine, and thought that his brother-in-law was going to drink some medicinal wine in the morning. But Zhao Shihai didn't scoop a bowl of medicinal wine, but threw something into the big glass bottle.

Wang Shaodong wiped his eyes and looked, good guy, what his brother-in-law threw into the big glass bottle was a small white snake about fifty centimeters long, and now it was swimming in the big glass bottle with half a bottle and two pots!

I really didn't notice this situation when I attacked my uncle just now, and Wang Shaodong, who had always been afraid of reptiles, immediately got goosebumps all over his body.

"Uncle, uncle, you are really a live-action version of Ouyang Feng, the Western Poison!" Wang Shaodong secretly admired in his heart.
