Chapter 62: Xu Shi'an

In the evening, I ate stewed sauerkraut in wild boar bone broth, and shredded pork.

Su Anying still has a very good set of cooking, refining oil in a big pot here, and putting a small pot on the stove at the other end, stewed with pork bones and pork.

When the oil is ready, just stir-fry the thinly shredded sauerkraut in the pot, then add the bone broth and simmer slowly.

The wild boar meat is boiled out with various spices, and when it cools a little, it is torn by hand.

Add some shredded green onions, shredded chili peppers, salt and other ingredients, cook with a little hot oil, and the fragrance will come out at once.

This means that there is no shortage of oil to eat now, Su Anying dares to cook so extravagantly, if it was before, she wouldn't even dare to think about it.

When the meal was ready, it was already dark outside, and the couple lit a kerosene lamp and happily ate dinner.

After dinner, Xu Shiyan still went to the ginseng field for a walk, and there was nothing abnormal around, so he came back to rest with peace of mind.

Wait until midnight to go out for a walk, and then sleep until dawn.

Most of the first snow could not stand, but as the temperature rose and the sun shone during the day, the snow melted.

In the morning and evening, the temperature drops, and it freezes on a hard layer.

The work in the field was not over, and while it was freezing in the morning, the young people in the team came up the mountain again.

"The third child, in a few days, the team will distribute the food, and our father will let me ask you, where is the food for the two of you?"

Xu Shixiang is going to take the college entrance examination and stays at home to review his homework, this time Xu Shi'an went up the mountain to work.

As soon as Xu Shi'an saw his younger brother, he asked directly.

Generally speaking, the agricultural team settles the year's work at the beginning of winter every year, and then everyone uses labor to convert food and money.

In addition to growing food crops such as bud rice and beans, the big house also grows ginseng.

Therefore, at the beginning of winter every year, the grain is divided first, and when all the processed ginseng is sold, the money is divided again.

When the family was separated, it was very clear that Xu Shiyan's previous work belonged to him.

After Su Anying got married, she also went to work to earn her work, and now the two of them are still watching ginseng on the mountain, it is estimated that their work can be exchanged for a lot of food and money.

"Let's put the food at home first, Eiko and I live in the mountains now, and there is no place to put too much food."

Xu Shiyan pondered for a while, and felt that it was better to put it at home.

Although his father is unforgiving, he is not greedy for that little food.

I don't know what happened to Lao Li Tou's hospitalization, but Mrs. Li has been with her, and no one has taken care of her at home.

"Okay, that's what our dad and mom said." Xu Shi'an just came to pass a word for his parents, and didn't care about the rest.

"Come on, I'm going to work, the column bases and large poles used to participate in the ground are not enough, so I have to go into the mountains to pick them up today."

When the locals say pick-up, they don't really pick up, but actually go into the forest to cut down trees. The so-called collecting firewood is chopping firewood.

The column base and the large pole are the supports of the canopy.

On both sides of the big soil ridge of the ground, a column foot is smashed every other zhang, and a large joint pole is nailed to the head of the column foot, and then the mallet board can be laid.

Most of the mallet boards and large poles can be used for two or three stubbles, but one end of the column base is buried in the ground, and it will rot in three years, so every time a new mallet is planted, you have to go to the forest to pick up new ones.

In addition to the column base, the large rod, there are also cross arms, poles, bows, curtains, pressure strips and so on.

Therefore, ginseng production is an extremely tedious and material-intensive matter, don't look at growing ginseng to make money, in fact, it is really hard.

"Well, be careful when you go into the mountains, and when the snow falls, the beasts will come down the mountain, so stay safe." Xu Shiyan had to give two instructions.

At this time, the wild boar is looking for food all over the mountain, and the black blind man is also making the final preparations before squatting, eating frantically, and it is easy to encounter wild beasts when entering the mountain.

"Don't worry, there are so many of us, we all have axes and saws.

If you really meet it, you won't be afraid, the big guys will go up together, and they will eat meat when they are killed. Xu Shi'an waved his hand nonchalantly, turned around and left.

Xu Shiyan looked at his brother's back as he left in a hurry, and couldn't help sighing.

The second brother of his family has been in a hurry since he was a child, no matter what he does, he feels that if he doesn't finish it quickly, it seems that it will be too late.

In his previous life, when his mother was still alive, Xu Shiyan often heard the old lady sigh and say that the second brother may be born with a short life.

Since he was a child, he has been faster than others in everything, other children can just sit in six months, and Xu Shi'an can already climb.

Without seeing one, Xu Shi'an was able to climb on top of the loom.

In only eight and a half months, Xu Shi'an was able to move a few steps, and when he reached more than ten months, he was able to walk very hard.

The older generation said that it is not good for children to go too early, and it is wrong to go early if they go early.

In the 80s, Xu Shi'an always had a stomachache and went to Quanyang 50 Hospital for examination, which was stomach cancer.

Stomach cancer, even after a few decades, is not a very good way to treat it.

At that time, not to mention, surgery had to be done to remove the tumor, and then the doctor prescribed a box of drugs called cancer enemies.

The operation and drug control extended Xu Shi'an's life span by five years.

In 85, Xu Shi'an's stomach cancer recurred, and the tumor covered the entire stomach, and he died after ineffective treatment.

left his daughter-in-law Wei Mingrong and two sons Xu Haibo and Xu Haitao, as well as more than a dozen houses before and after, a large vegetable garden, and hundreds of ginseng.

Less than two months after Xu Shi'an's death, Wei Mingrong took his two sons and family property to remarry a man surnamed Huang.

At the insistence of the Xu family, Wei Mingrong remarried and did not leave home, and Xu Haibo and Xu Haitao did not change their surnames.

The family property left by Xu Shi'an is not wanted by the Xu family, and it is given to the two children.

It's a pity that the brothers in Wei Mingrong's mother's family are all losers, and they come to eat and drink poorly all day long.

Not to mention the family background left by Xu Shi'an, even the money brought by Lao Huang was all ruined by these people.

"What do you think? Standing here motionless?

The second brother came over just now, why didn't you tell him about bringing back wild boar meat to the family in the afternoon?

Also, didn't you keep a pork belly yesterday and said it was for the second brother? Forgot to tell him? ”

Su Anying looked at her husband standing there motionless, her eyes were stunned, and she felt strange, so she poked Xu Shiyan in the waist and asked him.

"The second brother walked too fast, I didn't even have time to say it." Xu Shiyan came back to his senses and shook his head.

"Daughter-in-law, you can do me a favor later, and dry the wild boar's belly on the tiles, and I'll give it to the second brother in the afternoon."

Folk remedies, said to be wild boar belly to nourish the stomach.

Wild boars eat everything and have strong digestive ability, so some people think that the wild boar belly must be good for the stomach.

Whether it makes sense or not, Xu Shiyan doesn't know, he just does his best.

The conflict between brothers is just an entanglement of monetary interests, and has nothing to do with anything else.

He couldn't watch his brother have an accident, and he couldn't watch his two nephews lose their father at a young age.

So try everything you can think of, and what if it really works? After all, it's my brother's life.
