"What to do, Zhongming Hongfu Qitian, it must be fine, when I hunted collectively a few years ago, didn't there also snow days, it's okay, don't worry." Although Mother Xu was also worried, she looked at her daughter-in-law's scared look and said firmly, and at the same time, she was also cheering herself up.

And this situation is also playing out in many people in the team.

It was already dangerous in the mountains, but now it is even more dangerous when it snows, and even though there have been similar situations before, people are still very worried, and can only pray silently in their hearts that this snow will not fall too much.

It seems that the heavens did not hear the prayers of the people, and the snow fell for a day and a night, until the morning of the 14th, when it slowly stopped.

Because he was worried, after breakfast, Xie Xiaonian came to his sister-in-law's house with a dustpan for making needlework, and while doing work, he waited with Mother Xu and the others for the hunters to come back.

According to the plan, the hunting party, which was supposed to return around 10 a.m., did not return until 12 o'clock.

Xu Mu and Li Suxin, who were extremely uneasy, ran to the foot of the mountain several times in the morning, but they were disappointed every time.

Not long after noon, Xu's mother, who was extremely worried, couldn't help but say: "No, I can't sit still, I'll go to the foot of the mountain and wait!" ”

"Mother, it's so cold outside, if you get frostbite, wouldn't it be more worrying, you just wait at home, there are people guarding at the foot of the mountain, if the hunting comes back, we will definitely be able to hear the shouting, it's really not good, just let me go, I'm young, I'm in good health." Although Li Suxin was worried, she couldn't let Mother Xu wait at the foot of the mountain.

"No matter how young you are, you can't stand such a cold sky!" Xie Xiaonian said disapprovingly.

"They're all waiting at home, and no one is allowed to go." Father Xu, who had not spoken, opened his mouth and ordered directly at this time.

Although no one went to the foot of the mountain to guard in the end, they were even more worried, and the whole house was quiet, and only the sound of Xu's father smoking.

And the children at home also noticed that the atmosphere was wrong, and they all buried their heads in their homework and didn't dare to squeak.

It wasn't until about 5 o'clock in the evening, when everyone was about to collapse, that they finally heard shouting outside.

"It's back, it's back from the hunt."

"My dad is back!"

"My grandpa is back!"

At this time, on the road, the shouts of children were as beautiful as a beautiful symphony in the ears of the Xu family.

When the people in the house heard the sound, they immediately began to run to the foot of the mountain.

When Xie Xiaonian and the others arrived, they saw that the people who went to hunt in the village were walking towards the team headquarters with their prey one by one.

And the people who arrived early were gathering in front of their men and fathers, asking for warmth, and some people were secretly wiping their tears, which shows how worried they are.

And the Xu family also saw the two brothers Xu Zhongming and Xu Zhonggui in the team, and they were relieved to see that neither of them was injured.

Mother Xu hurriedly stepped forward and said reproachfully: "Why did you come back now, is there something wrong!" ”

Xu Zhongming also knew that he came back a little late this time, and his mother must have been very worried, so he said directly: "Nothing happened, it's just that it's snowing and the road is not easy to walk, so I came back a little late." ”

Xie Xiaonian, who was standing on the periphery, observed the group of people who came back, and found that although everyone had some prey on their backs, there were not many, and the biggest prey, that is, the two roe deer, and the others were all small animals, wild boars, wild deer or something, not to mention nothing.

Xie Xiaonian originally thought that if a wild boar was hunted in the village, she would be able to share the meat with her, so that she could find a provenance for the wild boar in the space, but who knew that the plan would be ruined.

The mountain on this side of Xujialing has traps and traps dug by the villagers on the periphery, and there are hunters or bold people in the village who visit it from time to time, plus the hunting team does not go deep into the mountains, so the possibility of hunting the big guy is very small, but Xie Xiaonian doesn't know.

Because it was already late, the prey was put in the compound of the brigade headquarters, and after a few cadres were left to count and keep accounts, the others went back to their respective homes.

And Xie Xiaonian saw that the people had already returned, so he didn't follow him to the team headquarters, and went home directly from the foot of the mountain.

Because Xu's mother felt that Xu Zhongming had suffered this trip into the mountains, she took out all the eggs she had saved in the past few days and made him a bowl of eggs in sugar water.

While the other people were staring at the bowl of sugar water eggs, Orchid was thinking about her own thoughts in a daze.

When she was about to finish eating, Orchid plucked up her courage and said, "Grandpa, grandma, dad, mother, I don't want to go to school after the New Year, and follow my aunt to study medicine." ”

"What can you do if you don't go to school, you haven't gotten your junior high school diploma yet, there is only half a year left, how can you say that you won't go if you don't go." Li Suxin heard that Orchid was not going to school, and immediately retorted.

"Although studying medicine is a good thing, but your mother is right, you should get your graduation certificate first! Moreover, this medical skill has been passed down from generation to generation, and it is not something that can be taught to others casually. Xu Zhongming also agreed.

"It's not that you don't know, the school is very chaotic, and there is nothing to learn, and many students in our class are gone, as long as they continue to teach, they can get their graduation certificates next year. And my aunt will join the army next year, if I don't hurry up to learn, there will be no time, you also want me to have a skill in eating, I don't have to dig in the field! As for whether my aunt is willing, mother, you go and ask me if my aunt is willing to accept me as an apprentice, if not, I will still go to school obediently, how about it? It is related to his life, and Orchid is no longer silent, and has said everything she has been thinking in her heart in the past few days.

"I think it's a good idea for orchids, anyway, I can't go to college now, and it's still good to learn a craft." Father Xu said.

"But can Xiao Nian agree, and in just half a year, can you learn it, people have to start learning medicine when they are young." Xu Mu said hesitantly.

"I don't agree, don't you know if you go and ask tomorrow, and I've heard that today's barefoot doctors have a shorter time to study, and they go to the doctor in February or March. As for the specifics, a group of our big bosses don't know, so we'll find out if we ask Xiao Nian tomorrow. If you really can't teach it to outsiders, then forget it, you can't make Xiao Nian embarrassed. "Father Xu is in charge.

"That's okay, then I'll come back tomorrow and go to Xiao Nian to get through the air." Li Suxin saw that his daughter really wanted to learn, and it was also a good thing, so he responded.

The next day is the day of the market, so many families in the village have people going to the brigade to wait for the meat to be divided, and some people go to the market.

What was left in the Xu family's big house was Mother Xu, and Xie Xiaonian didn't go to the market because he didn't have anything to buy, and followed Mother Xu to the team headquarters early in the morning, waiting for the meat to be shared.

When Xie Xiaonian and Xu's mother arrived at the brigade headquarters, the people who went to the public to socialize the prey had already left, and the remaining prey in the yard was kept and distributed to each family.

Going to the public to socialize prey is like handing over public grain, and each brigade that goes hunting must hand over a part of the prey according to the regulations, and the rest is distributed to the villagers.

Therefore, some brigades, because the nearby mountains are relatively barren, do not go into the mountains to hunt collectively, because sometimes, there is not much left at all.

As soon as Xie Xiaonian and Xu's mother entered the yard, they heard their neighbor Grandma Xu say to Xu's mother: "Shuqin's mother, come here, you're going to divide the meat soon." ”

"Hey, here, auntie, you're here early." Mother Xu responded and walked to Grandma Xu.

"I didn't have anything to do at home, so I came early. I just took a look, and there are a lot of prey left, and each person shouldn't share too little, so that the family can have more meat dishes during the New Year. Grandma Xu said happily.

"Yes, when you see the sky, you can eat a few bites of meat during the New Year." Mother Xu should also be kind.

"Aunt Zhao, this is your third daughter-in-law, she looks really bad, it's been so long, it's the first time I've seen it." A woman next to Grandma Xu said with a smile.

Mother Xu's maiden name is Zhao Guiling, so the lower generation in the village will call her Aunt Zhao or Aunt Zhao.

"Sign, it's not that I'm boasting, my daughter-in-law here looks like the first in the village, and she is also knowledgeable, filial and sensible, but she doesn't like to go out very much, and she usually goes to my house and her second sister-in-law's house." Mother Xu answered without modesty.

Then he turned his head to Xie Xiaonian and said, "This is the dog's mother, her family lives at the entrance of the village, you can just call her sister-in-law." ”

"Hello sister-in-law." Xie Xiaonian said hello, but he was complaining in his heart, the level of people taking nicknames in this era is what kind of dog eggs and dog leftovers.

"Hey, hello, hello, hey, this culture is different, and the speech is also gentle." Dogma said with a laugh.

Now girls in rural areas can't go to primary school for two years, and there are few who go to junior high school, let alone high school, so although Xie Xiaonian has only been in high school for half a year, in the eyes of the villagers, it is also highly educated, you must know that many primary school teachers are also junior Chinese.

"Of course, people are much better than you who are blind, hahaha." Another woman next to her smiled and answered.

In this way, Xie Xiaonian met a lot of people in the village while waiting for the prey, and Xiao Nian knew some medical skills, so the people of the 3 production teams were still very willing to make friends with Xiao Nian.

According to the accounting statistics, except for those who are handed over to the state, each person can get a pound of wild animals, and those under the age of 15 are halved, and those who eat commercial grain and do not live in the village do not.

Like Xie Xiaonian's family, Xie Xiaonian has a share alone, and in the end he can only get 1 catty of pheasants or hares.

And Xu's mother divided 6 and a half catties of prey, and because Xie Xiaonian's 1 catty was not easy to divide, it was directly shared with Xu's mother.

In this way, the two finally got a 3-pound hare and a 4-pound pheasant.

And such a rare thing as a roe deer has already been handed in, and they can also share some pheasants, hares, quails, birds, snakes and other things, so their share of prey is still good.

On the way back, Xu's mother said, "When I get home, I'll defeather the chicken, and I'll give you 1 catty." ”

"I'll divide 1 catty, it's still gross weight, if you calculate it, there isn't much meat, I don't want it, you keep it for Weiguo and them to eat, I still have a few chickens at home, enough for the New Year." Xie Xiaonian said.

She didn't plan to ask for these things in the first place, so she asked the team leader to share her share with her sister-in-law's family.

"That's not good, you've got yours, it's different." Mother Xu said disapprovingly.

"This meat is all together, and it's not easy to divide, and I can't make that little bit of meat, or when you make this chicken, I'll go and eat it." Xie Xiaonian said with a smile.

"That's okay, then eat it together then, if you only make this yourself, it's not fragrant enough, this chicken is still mixed with potatoes and vermicelli, and it's delicious to eat it in a big pot." Mother Xu replied with a smile.

In the afternoon, Xie Xiaonian was in the house to collect the soles of his shoes, and saw his sister-in-law Li Suxin coming to the house with something.
