Wu Xiuying heard Zhao Guoqi's words, followed the direction of Zhao Guoqi's finger, and looked towards the wall of the hall.

Seeing the photo hanging on the wall, Wu Xiuying's face showed an incredible expression, and she hurriedly asked Chen Shuying, "Sister-in-law!" Are the people in this photo really Aiguo and Mr. Chi? ”

Chen Shuying heard Wu Xiuying's inquiry, and saw the startled reaction of Wu Xiuying and his wife, with a proud expression on her face, and introduced with a smile: "Xiuying! This photo was taken when I went to the welcome dinner held by the Government Council during the thirtieth year of the patriotic Chinese New Year's Eve. ”

After Wu Xiuying heard Chen Shuying's answer and confirmed that the person in the photo was her nephew, the whole person suddenly became excited, and said excitedly: "I really didn't expect that our family would be so patriotic and promising, if my father and mother are still there, I will definitely be proud of my patriotism." ”

When Chen Shuying heard Wu Xiuying's words, she greeted Zhao Guoqi and Wu Xiuying's family with a smile: "Guoqi! Su-young! You sit down first, eat something, and I'll find someone to help go to the factory, bring a letter to Pingshan, and ask him to go home for dinner at noon. ”

After Wu Xiuying saw Chen Shuying lift the curtain and walk out of the hall, she immediately said to her three children: "Zhao Qiang! Zhao Li! Zhao Zhong! Look at your second cousin, who is only in his twenties, and can take pictures with Mr. Zhi and Mr. Ji, the three of you should study hard for me, learn from your second cousin, and strive to become a useful talent for the country. ”

When Zhao Qiang saw the photo in front of him, he was the second cousin who admired him in his heart, and when he heard his mother's advice, he nodded very seriously and replied, "Mom! You can rest assured, I will definitely take my second cousin as an example, study hard, and contribute to the four modernizations. ”

At about eleven o'clock in the afternoon, Wu Pingshan rode his bicycle back home.

When Wu Xiuying saw Wu Pingshan coming back, she immediately stood up from the chair and greeted Wu Pingshan with a smile: "Brother! You're back! ”

Wu Pingshan saw his sister and brother-in-law sitting in the hall, and when he heard Wu Xiuying's words, he asked curiously, "Xiuying!" Guoqi! Didn't you say that you would enter the city on the fifth day of the new year? Why did you delay entering the city until the eighth day of the new year? ”

When Wu Xiuying heard Wu Pingshan's inquiry, she didn't deliberately hide it, so she gave Wu Pingshan a general introduction to the reason for their delay in entering the city.

When Wu Pingshan heard the news that Zhao Guoqi's eldest brother was injured, he asked with a puzzled face: "Guoqi!" Is your eldest brother's injuries serious? This is the New Year, how did your village organize the militia team to go hunting in the mountains during the Chinese New Year? ”

Zhao Guoqi heard Wu Pingshan's inquiry, thought of his eldest brother's injury, and introduced with a heavy heart: "Big brother! The reason why my brother and they went into the mountains during the New Year was entirely because of the lack of food in the village, and I just heard that Qinjia Village used prey to exchange for tens of thousands of catties of grain from the city a few years ago, so they wanted to go into the mountains to get more prey, and then send it to the city to exchange for food. ”

When Wu Pingshan heard Zhao Guoqi's introduction, a puzzled expression appeared on his face, and he asked Zhao Guoqi in confusion: "Guoqi! Now there is also a shortage of food in the city, and food is a life-saving service for every family, so how can there be excess food in exchange for meat. ”

After Zhao Guoqi and his wife went to work in the city, they naturally knew the situation in the city very well, and when he heard Wu Pingshan's question, he replied: "Big brother! The son-in-law of Zhao Laoqi in our village is from Qinjia Village, and the family of Zhao Laoqi's son-in-law came back to pay New Year's greetings in the second year of this year, and also brought ten catties of stick noodles. ”

"When I heard the news, I also didn't believe that there was a matter of exchanging prey for food in Qinjia Village, and later my sixth uncle heard the news and personally went to Zhao Laoqi's house to ask, and only then did he confirm that the news was true, so the village organized a militia team to go into the mountains to hunt, and wanted to take advantage of the news before it spread, and come back from the city for some food."

Wu Pingshan heard the situation introduced by Zhao Guoqi, and asked Zhao Guoqi curiously: "Guoqi! Did the militia in your village hit any prey after they entered the mountains? ”

When Zhao Guoqi heard Wu Pingshan's inquiry, he immediately nodded and replied, "Big brother! The militia company of our village entered the mountains this time, and a total of five wild boars and one sika deer were reached, but my eldest brother and a cousin, while hunting, were attacked by wild boars, my eldest brother broke a leg, and my cousin was slightly injured. ”

"When I went back to the city this time, in addition to going back to the city to work, I was also instructed by the village to go to the factory to ask if I could exchange wild boar meat for some grain in the factory."

"Hirayama! Isn't Dabao from Qinjia Village? Whether this thing is true or not, don't you ask Dabao to know? When Chen Shuying heard Zhao Guoqi's introduction, she immediately remembered Qin Dabaolai, and immediately suggested that Wu Pingshan find Qin Dabao to ask about the situation.

Wu Pingshan heard Chen Shuying mention Qin Dabao, and then remembered that Qin Dabao was from Qinjia Village, and then said to Zhao Guoqi: "Guoqi! There was a young man in our courtyard, who was from Qinjia Village, and I went to ask him about the situation. ”

Wu Pingshan said, and led Zhao Guoqi out of the house, came to the inverted room, and shouted into the house: "Dabao! Are you at home? ”

Liang Erni, who was eating in the house, heard Wu Pingshan's shout outside the house, immediately put down the chopsticks in her hand, walked quickly to the door, stretched out her hand to lift the curtain, and asked curiously: "Uncle Wu!" Dabao is in the factory, and he didn't come back for dinner at noon today, do you have anything to do with him? ”

Wu Pingshan learned the news that Qin Dabao was not at home, and asked Liang Erni with a smile: "Erni! I heard that Qinjia Village used prey to exchange for food in the city a few years ago, is this true? ”

Liang Erni heard Wu Pingshan ask about the exchange of prey for grain in Qinjia Village, with a puzzled expression on her face, and replied, "Uncle Wu! There is indeed such a thing, because the village is short of food, so they go to the city to find my father, and want to get some food from the city to go back. ”

"But now there is a shortage of food everywhere in the city, and my father is a face-loving person, so he can only ask Dabao to beg Brother Aiguo, and later after Brother Aiguo learned the news, he suggested that the village send people into the mountains to hunt, and then use the prey to exchange food with Brother Aiguo's unit."

"Erni! What did you say! This matter is operated with the help of patriotism, why didn't this kid tell me? Wu Pingshan was very surprised to learn that Qinjia Village's exchange of prey for food had something to do with his second child.

Liang Erni heard Wu Pingshan's muttering, and thought that Wu Pingshan was unhappy because of this matter, in order to avoid Wu Pingshan's misunderstanding, Liang Erni hurriedly explained: "Uncle Wu! Speaking of which, this is also a coincidence! ”

"I heard from our family that Brother Aiguo's unit wanted to get some pork for New Year's goods a few years ago, and it happened that a few wild boars were caught in our village, so I used the wild boars to exchange food with Brother Aiguo's unit."

When Wu Pingshan heard Liang Erni's explanation, he understood the reason, and muttered to himself again: "I wonder how there can be wild boar in the New Year's goods of the patriotic unit, it turns out that this is the case." ”
