Chapter 13: The Envy of the Villagers
In broad daylight, gunshots rang out around the village, which was undoubtedly a shock to the villagers of Sandaogou, who had always been calm. Just when someone discovered that the gunshot came from the villagers near the beach, they led several village cadres to check. I happened to see Wu Tian coming out of the grass with a shotgun on his back, which startled the village cadres who came to observe the situation.
Among the village cadres who came to observe the situation, Wu Ming, who was the branch secretary, was naturally indispensable, and when he saw his father who appeared in front of him, he said in shock: "Dad, you shot the gun just now?" ”
Wu Tian, who was also a little surprised, was also surprised when he saw his son and his party: "Yes! Did you hear me, and I was about to call you over to help? Since you're all here, let's come over and get some good things when we get back to the village. ”
Seeing that this gunshot seemed to be made by Wu Tian, who was relatively old in the village in front of him, several village cadres in the same company were a little crying and laughing, especially Wu Ming said directly: "Dad, you are so old, why do you still come out to hunt!" You don't know, your two gunshots scared the villagers. ”
Wu Tian, who seemed to be angry with his son's complaints, said directly: "What's the matter? It's hard to become Lao Tzu hunting, and the whole village has to shout again, you kid, don't think that you will be a hard man when you become a branch secretary. Let me tell you, you are the governor of the province and the president of the country, and you are still my son. What's wrong with being old, can't you hunt when you're old? ”
Wu Ming, who was so trained by Wu Tian that he didn't dare to raise his head, could only open his mouth helplessly, not knowing how to refute at all. What's more, he knows his old man's surname very well, and if he dares to talk back, he may be slapped twice. You know, when he grew so big, he didn't suffer from this father's 'big pot sticker', and he didn't want to be hit in front of so many people in the village.
Wu Bing, the old village chief who came with him, seemed to know Wu Tian's surname and said haha: "Uncle Tian, he is also worried about you!" By the way, go back and tell the people in the village personally, this gun was fired by Uncle God hunting, and there is no fuss.
Oh! Uncle Tian, you fired two shots just now, I guess you hit something good, right? It's been a long time since I've seen you hunting, so I think this time I should have a lot of gains, right? ”
Although he is not a few years younger than Wu Tian, the key is that Wu Tian is older, and he is also known for his high force value in the village. Wu Bing, who is proficient in human affairs, naturally diverted the topic of flattery from the dispute between the two masters, and these words really diverted Wu Tian's eyes from looking at his son.
'Ugh! You're a good kid, wait until you go back and get a few more pounds of meat. Unlike some white-eyed wolves, Lao Tzu is still crooked when he hunts, and this time he has no share in it. Let's go, the little soldier will carry something with me. ’
Leaving Wu Ming, who was bitter and didn't dare to make a sound, the old man led the group into the thatched bush with his head held high, and when he saw the two-headed big guy who fell in the mud pond.
Wu Bing couldn't help but say: "It seems that Uncle Tian is really not old!" Why are these two big boars coming here in broad daylight? How did you get old enough to run into it? ”
Wu Tian, who was very happy to be praised, said with a smile: "Actually, this boar is not my credit alone, it was the stinky boy who found them." When he made a mistake just now, the kid fell into the mud pond and should now be bathing in the river behind.
As for why they come out in broad daylight, I think it must be that no one in the village has been in the mountains for a long time, and that few people come to this place. After coming and going, they felt that this place was safe, so they naturally dared to come and wash the mud in broad daylight. As a result, the stinky boy found out, called me in and cleaned them up. Little soldier, you think we should be able to move these two boars back, right? ”
Looking at the five or six middle-aged people around him, Wu Tian suddenly felt that it was really a bit choking to move these two wild boars that were close to three hundred catties back empty-handed. Fortunately, after Wu Bing found out about the size of this boar, he understood that there must be insufficient manpower to carry it like this. He also instructed the junior villagers who accompanied him to hurry back to the village and carry the rope to find it.
As soon as the villager who returned to the village announced the incident, the entire sandy and gravel beach ushered in a lively scene that had not been seen for decades, and the villagers and children who got the news rushed over as soon as possible. You must know that everyone is interested in hunting in a mountain village like Sandaogou, but hunting has been banned more in recent years. Few people in the village go up to the mountains to hunt, and with such a large boar hunting, it is natural that everyone wants to come and find out. Wu Dao's parents, who also learned the news, also came over with the crowd watching the scenery for the first time.
When Wu Tian commanded Wu Dong and several middle-aged people in the village to enter the mud pond to tie up the wild boar, Wu Dao, who was washing his clothes in the stream behind the sandy beach, quickly joined the team to help. These villagers who helped were really a little envious when they saw that Wu Dao had harvested such two big mountain boars as soon as he contracted the sand and gravel beach.
You must know that the price of this wild boar is still high outside, and this pure wild can even be sold for thirty or forty yuan a catty. The two ends are nearly 600 catties, which means that the income is nearly 120,000 yuan. Today's income alone is enough to cover the cost of contracting for 10 years. Fortunately, the villagers of Sandaogou are very simple, thinking that this is a fool of Wu Dao, and although they are envious, they are not jealous.
In this way, the whole village almost set out in unison, and when the boar, which was a little bent at both ends, was carried to the pig killing farm at the entrance of the village, Wu Dao discussed it with his uncle. It was decided to sort out the larger boar, and each family in the village would share some.
Sandaogou has a population of less than 100 households, and each family can get one or two catties of meat for nearly 300 catties of wild boar. For his nephew and grandson to share tens of thousands of yuan so generously, Wu Dao did not object, but nodded with satisfaction. Perhaps in his opinion, Wu Dao's mentality of not eating alone will make him more highly evaluated among the villagers, and it will have unexpected benefits for him to live in the village in the future.
Wu Dong and his wife, who are also not stingy, although they are a little reluctant to give up their son's generosity, are still happy to invite the butcher who often kills pigs in the village to wash and chop the largest male mountain pig into pieces of meat strips of about two catties. In the organization of Wu Bing and others, they were given to the villagers who were present and those who were not.
In this regard, the villagers, who were still a little envious of Wu Dao's good luck, took the wild boar meat of nearly 100 yuan, and praised Wu Dao very much. So much so that in the end, Wu Daodu felt that his face was a little crooked.
After the villagers finished distributing the pork, Wu Dao looked at the nearly dozens of catties of wild boar meat and offal on the board, and decided to invite the villagers and village cadres who helped carry the pigs today to have a meal at home. This is also a very common thing in Sandaogou, because every year when the family kills New Year's pigs, it is like this.
In this regard, the villagers did not refuse, but just hurried up to wash all the other pigs for Wu Dao. In this way, Wu Dao doesn't have to do it himself if he wants to eat it in the future, he can directly cut the meat and cook it.
As for the second pair of mountain pork belly, Wu Dao still stored it separately, and when he saw Wu Dao put away the pork belly, the old man asked a little puzzled. In this regard, Wu Dao also told his uncle very clearly that this pork belly was reserved for his parents to regulate their stomachs. Wu Dong, who is a parent, was naturally very happy when he heard this.
Seeing that Wu Dao was so filial, the villagers who heard this more and more felt that Wu Dao was precious. In the eyes of these villagers, they may look up to you when you make money, but filial piety to your parents is the most praiseworthy thing for them.
At the dinner, Wu Dong took out all the best things in the house, and with the rest of the loose pork, he set up two large tables of banquets for the villagers to eat. For a while, the villagers who had not enjoyed this kind of New Year's pig feast for a long time could not only say good things for Wu Dao, but also wished Wu Dao a good future in the village's contracting business.
Wu Dao is naturally well aware of this, and while accompanying a few uncles and villagers who have a good amount of alcohol to drink, he also began to consider whether to add some household appliances to his home. Because of this weather, this washed wild boar meat is easy to spoil without refrigerator storage.
If it is pickled, I feel that it is a pity, so Wu Dao decided to go to the village tomorrow. After selling some of the cleaned wild boar, I bought a refrigerator for my family and came back, and I couldn't save any good things in the future.
After the banquet was over, Wu Daowei sent the villagers out of the courtyard for his already drunk father, and then brought back the wild boar meat that had been prepared to the second and third uncles. Of course, he didn't forget to explain to his third uncle Wu Lin, who owns a three-wheeled motorcycle, that he might need to borrow his tricycle tomorrow to sell some pork in the county. In this regard, the third uncle Wu Lin naturally did not refuse, but only asked if he needed help.
Wu Dao, who understood that Wu Lin also needed to be busy with things in the field during this time, naturally did not disturb Wu Lin's farming, and said with a smile that he could handle it. sent the three uncles out of the yard, and then turned around to clean up the leftovers on the second table for his mother.
Hearing that his son was going to the county seat, he thought that tomorrow seemed to be Friday's mother, so he didn't say much, but just told Wu Dao that if he came back late, he would pick up his sister Wu Ting, who was in the second year of high school in the county seat. Wu Dao, who had also not seen his sister for five years, naturally agreed happily.
After cleaning up the mess in the yard, my mother, who had been tired all day, didn't talk to Wu Dao much, so she went back to her room to watch TV and rest. And Wu Dao, who also returned to the room, meditated and practiced as usual. Although the speed of this kind of meditation and cultivation is not as good as the speed of absorbing spiritual spring water, Wu Dao is still clear about the truth that no matter how small a mosquito is, it is still meat. Besides, meditating all night is more effective than sleeping with his head down, so how could Wu Dao stop this kind of cultivation!
