Chapter 41: Wild Boars in Trouble

Listening to this loud shout, the two big dogs barked fast, and the dog shadow disappeared in an instant. Huahua was also trembling, and ran behind Zhou Yu numbly.

Seeing this spicy aunt as always, Zhou Yu's heart was warm. My aunt is really good to herself, when I was a child, Zhou Yu always had to come to the mountains for a few days during the summer vacation, and my aunt always changed the way to make food for herself. My aunt is a Manchu, with a cheerful and neat temperament, don't look at her spicy, but she is very filial and takes care of her grandfather.

"Aunt, I haven't seen you for a few years, but I haven't changed at all, I'm still so young, if you stand with your cousin, others will definitely say that you are her sister."

Zhou Yu joked to his aunt.

"Stinky boy, I haven't seen any good kung fu in the past few years, what's the matter? Don't praise your aunt, are you afraid that your aunt won't give you good food? ”

said that his eyes were red,

"Our Xiaoyu has grown up, and he has become a young man, and I haven't seen you for more than three years, right? I miss my aunt to death, and I don't know if I like to eat my aunt's cooking. ”

was said by his aunt, and Zhou Yu's heart was also astringent.

"Auntie, I see what you say, the food you cook is the best in the world, and I want to eat it in my dreams now."

After listening to Zhou Yu's words, my aunt turned crying into laughter,

"If you want to eat, if you want to eat, I'll let you eat enough at noon today!"

When he entered the house, his aunt helped put down the big basket, Zhou Yu took out the things inside and put them away, and saw that Zhou Yu had carried so many things up the mountain, and his aunt was distressed.

"You stupid boy, why do you carry so many things after running so far on a mountain road? I'm afraid that these two watermelons alone are thirty or forty pounds, right? Besides, your mother is too, everyone is a girl who marries out of the water, and they deliberately keep a certain distance from their mother's family, for fear that their husband's family will gossip. But your mother really can't wait to carry all your things, which means that he doesn't have parents-in-law, otherwise just gossip is enough for her. ”

Zhou Yu pursed his mouth, and felt sorry in his heart for the grandparents who had never met.

But what my aunt said is the truth, the surrounding areas of Taiping Town are not rich, you say that if this married girl always sends things to her mother's house, can the husband's family have no opinion? But this matter is divided, this will not happen in Zhoujia Village, although Zhoujia Village is poor, but all the gentlemen are people who stand up to the sky, and they will not be unable to get along with their own women in these small things.

After chatting with his aunt for a while, Zhou Yu asked, "Auntie, where are my grandfather and uncle?" It's all noon, why aren't they at home yet? ”

My aunt's face darkened and she said helplessly: "Alas, your grandfather and your uncle are probably leading the old men in the village to hunt wild boars at this time." ”

Zhou Yu was secretly refreshed, does this indicate that you can eat wild boar today? But it doesn't look like I'm happy to see my aunt, is there anything else to say here?

Thinking of this, Zhou Yu continued to ask, "Auntie, what's wrong with you?" Isn't it a good thing to hunt wild boars? Why are you still sighing? ”

My aunt smiled bitterly, and then gritted her teeth and said, "Xiaoyu, of course it's a good thing to be able to hunt wild boars, but there are too many wild boars this year."

It may be that the rain has been good in the past two years, and the breeding ground of animals and plants in the mountains is particularly fast, and a few days ago a large group of wild boars flowed out of the old forest, and this group of animals arched when they saw things, and the crops in the village did not look like a disaster, and even I planted some vegetables in the ground to arch over, and if you didn't bring some vegetables today, we could only eat wild vegetables.

As a last resort, your grandfather and uncle uprooted some walnut trees and peach trees in the yard and replanted some vegetables. Those villains, those are dozens of years old trees that I had before I passed the door. Your grandfather and your uncle were tearing down the trees when they were pulling them out.

But if you don't pull it out, you can't do it, this person has to eat vegetables, right? If you plant outside the yard, maybe one day you will have to let that group of beasts spoil again, and now only the yard in the whole Xiaowangzhuang is safe.

I heard your lord say that this group of wild boars is huge, and the thieves are fine, and they run away after arching, and they can't catch them if they want to. These two days have made your grandfather and uncle so worried that they can't sleep. ”

Zhou Yu smacked his tongue, and said that the Qingyun Mountain Range is particularly rich in animal and plant resources, but according to what his aunt said, it is also a little too rich, right? When did the wild boars also start to descend in large numbers? But wild boars now seem to be classified as national protected animals, and it seems illegal to get one or two to try them, and it seems illegal to kill them in groups.

"Auntie, isn't it illegal for us to kill wild boars with such fanfare? I think it's better for us to be cautious and not get into any trouble at that time. Zhou Yu said with some concern.

"Xiaoyu, you can put a hundred hearts, the only law that our people in the mountains know is the "Wild Forest Animal Protection Law", but this part of the Qingyun Mountains is different from other places, not to mention killing wild boars, that is, pheasants, stupid roe deer, etc., if the number is too large, what ecological balance will be affected, the Forestry Bureau will have to hire us to kill it, according to the current situation, I estimate that the old men in the village will not be idle this year.

However, we also communicated with the Forestry Bureau about the hunting of wild boars this time, and they also said that there were too many wild boars this year, so we let go of the hunting and issued us a hunting license. ”

After listening to his aunt's words, Zhou Yu completely put his heart in his stomach, as long as he didn't break the law. Although Xiaowangzhuang is now suffering from a pig disaster, but the men in the village are qualified hunters, as long as they have the permission of the forestry department, then their harvest this year will not be bad, the crops are gone, they will be bought with money, just a little to the mountain freight.

Seeing that it was almost noon, my aunt pulled Zhou Yu to the cellar. The people in the mountains were poor and did not have refrigerators and other electrical appliances, but the hardships and hardships could not stop the ancestors' love of life, and they invented the cellar with their ingenuity.

The cellars of people in the mountainous areas around Taiping Town are not as good as ordinary cellars, which are definitely warm in winter and cool in summer, and are the best place for mountain people to store vegetables and vegetables.

Whenever a family wants to build a new house, they first have to dig a cellar more than ten meters deep around the foundation, build it with bluestone, and pave the steps before they can start building a new house, and the shallowest cellar here is ten meters deep. Therefore, it doesn't cost much to build a house in the mountains, and the labor required to dig a cellar is more than the money to build a house.

Due to the distance from the ground, the temperature in the cellar in summer is about 12 or 3 degrees Celsius, and fresh vegetables and meat will never spoil after five or six days. In winter, a large number of vegetables that overwinter in the north, such as cabbage, radish, sweet potatoes, and potatoes, are stored here.

After removing the bluestone cover at the entrance of the cellar, the mother and mother walked down the bluestone in turn, and the aunt said to Zhou Yu as she walked: "Xiaoyu, last time your uncle came to your village to sell mountain goods and met you, and when he came back, he told me and your grandfather, and praised you happily." From that day on, the two of them went to the old woods to hunt at every turn, and when they had a harvest, they put it in the cellar, and I guess they were all prepared for you.

And your grandfather has been talking to you at every turn in the past two days, and you also know that your grandfather is going to be strong all his life, and he never nags, I think this is what you think, and if the old man sees you coming, I don't know how happy Lu Dao will be. ”

Zhou Yu nodded with red eyes, did not speak, and a warm current surged in his heart. This is my own loved one! This kind of care and love comes from the bones, without the slightest pretentiousness, it is so simple and sincere.
