In a moment, Wang Manyin roared and rushed forward with a shovel.

As a result, the wild wolf, which was still grinning just now, immediately turned around and fled into the darkness, and soon disappeared.

Wang Manyin stood in place and waited for two minutes, and when he saw that the guy did not return, he led Rhubarb away.

There were no accidents next, and I arrived home safely.

At this point in time, the village was dark, and it was estimated that many people were already lying on the kang and fighting.

In addition, Wang Manyin's place of residence is far away from other people's homes, and there is no movement.

***

In the morning, Wang Manyin was woken up by the chirping of magpies as usual.

He got dressed and pushed the door open, and saw Rhubarb standing at the door, wagging his tail vigorously.

It seems that this guy has completely regarded him as his master.

Wang Manyin was anxious to solve his personal problems, but he didn't care, and subconsciously walked out of the cave.

As a result, my feet went soft and I stepped on something.

He hurriedly raised his feet and jumped around, turning his head to find a large fat mouse in the doorway, and two small ...... beside him

"Who the is so lacking in virtue and putting dead rats at Lao Tzu's door?!" Wang Manyin couldn't help but scold.

It's really bad luck to see dead rats in the morning.

......At this time, the leper dog wagged his tail and barked happily.

"Rhubarb, did you catch it?" Wang Manyin immediately woke up. If someone had come from the house last night and let the rats die, the rhubarb would have barked indiscriminately.

That's right, this guy caught it.

In my memory, the peasants of the Loess Plateau had the habit of eating mice, but they were nothing more than voles.

In addition to this, it also eats yellow squirrels and mole squirrels, and it has a long history.

In particular, the yellow squirrel is a rare delicacy, which has been mentioned in many ancient poems.

What "dome rice early burn yellow squirrel, ancient desert clothes cold sable", "yellow squirrel white fat escaped, night monkey fight rat fast than the squirrel." , "The yellow squirrel is fat and the wine is ripe, and the three wishes of ten thousand years are looking at the Golden Gate."

In the final analysis, it is still poor.

As a later generation, Wang Manyin found it difficult to accept eating this kind of thing, and he didn't plan to let rhubarb eat it.

There are too many bacteria and parasites in the main rats.

Of course, on the other hand, there are many rats in rural areas now, and many people will put rat poison at home. In case the rats that let the rhubarb eat poisoning can't be scratched, so it must be eliminated from the source.

In order to prevent this guy from stealing food, Wang Manyin decided to dig a pit and bury it deep in the dung heap, so that it would be used as dung.

Seeing that there was no one around, he directly ripped open the hemp rope and released the water that had accumulated overnight.

This wave is a normal operation, and now few people in rural areas have toilets, and personal problems are basically solved on the spot.

Anyway, there are ditches and bumps everywhere, and any one of them is tightly blocked. Of course, the fastidious people will dig a pit near the cave and pile a circle of firewood around it as a shield.

Wang Manyin also planned to do this, but he didn't have time to implement it yet.

After solving his personal problems, he buried a few rats deep in the dung pit before going back to the house to wash his face and cook.

lit the fire, Wang Manyin remembered that the steamed corn nest a few days ago had eaten up, and now it was time to make noodles.

There is no baking powder in these years, and old ferment is needed to steam corn nests.

The only remaining bit in the family was used up last time, and Wang Manyin couldn't do it.

From memory, the predecessor had a good relationship with his neighbor Wang Qiusheng, and every time he went to the other party's house to ask for it.

Of course, when Wang Manyin came back from a trip, he occasionally brought a few candies to Wang Qiusheng's children.

Wang Manyin was going to ask for some in the morning, as for breakfast...... Let's just make a few two-way bread.

Having made up his mind, he looked around the space and found only one egg.

He dragged another handful of garlic sprouts and leeks and began to mix noodles in front of the stove.

Pancakes are simple to make. To put it bluntly, as long as you are willing to put oil and control the heat, it will be delicious.

After a while, the crispy smell wafted out of the cave.

The freshly cooked pancakes were browned on the outside, bubbling with hot oil, which greatly increased Wang Manyin's appetite.

But this thing is still raw inside, and it has to be steamed in a pot.

He was busy here, when he suddenly heard the wild screams of rhubarb coming from outside the cave.

Immediately afterward, a child cried.

Wang Manyin hurriedly pushed the door and walked out, and saw Rhubarb calling at the three children in the distance, which scared each other into crying.

"Rhubarb, come back." He hurriedly called out to the earth dog, and asked a few little guys, "Mao Dan, why are you here?" ”

These three little guys wearing torn cotton jackets, dirty faces, and snotty noses are the children of Wang Qiusheng's family.

The eldest is called Mao Dan, the second is called Stone, and the third is a woman, called Xiao Nizi. These names sound very old-fashioned, but they are normal in this day and age.

Because in people's minds, the cheaper the nickname, the better it is to feed.

Withstand beatings, withstand sickness.

In addition, there are iron eggs and dog leftovers, which are also names with a high appearance rate.

There are three people in the Jar Village alone, nicknamed Gou Yu. In order to distinguish them, people shouted "old dog leftover", "big dog leftover", and "small dog leftover".

"Uncle Man Yin, what delicious food does your family make, it smells so fragrant." Mao Dan asked with a snot in his eyes.

This guy is nine years old this year, because of long-term malnutrition, his small body is very thin, his face is sallow, his eye sockets are collapsed, and his cheekbones are bulging, giving people a feeling that a strong wind can blow.

The youngest girl, Xiao Nizi, is 4 years old and has unkempt hair. Also because of malnutrition and calcium deficiency, Xiao Nizi's arms are not as thick as hemp rods, and she is still unsteady when she walks, and she is being carried by her brother at the moment.

As for the stone next to him, he is 6 years old this year, this guy is a gentle turtle spirit, and he doesn't say a word when he sees people.

"You guys have really sharp noses, and I'm making cakes. Let's play here for a while, and when you're ready, you'll have a taste......"

Wang Manyin didn't make the cake too thick, and it was estimated that it should be cooked at this time.

He took out one and broke it open and tasted it, it was hard, but it tasted great.

When he saw the three little ones staring at each of them, he gave one to each of them and let them carry them home.

Before leaving, Wang Manyin confessed again: "Go back and tell your dad that three pancakes will be exchanged for a handful of old leaven." ”

As a result, within two minutes, Rhubarb screamed again, followed by Wang Qiusheng's voice.

"Brother Qiusheng, are you here......" Wang Manyin hurriedly scolded the earth dog.

"Man Yin, when did you get a dog?" Wang Qiusheng asked curiously.

"I went to the commune two days early to catch the market and picked up one on the way. This thing fell in love with me, and it came back with it. In reply, Wang Manyin said again, "Brother Qiusheng, have you eaten, come to my house to eat some?" ”

"We've done it too, just now a few broken babies came to your house to beg for food, don't give them a good face next time, otherwise they will be pestered all the time."

"It's okay, Brother Qiusheng, it's just a bite to eat," Wang Manyin shook his head.

Wang Qiusheng is also an honest man, who only knows how to dig food in the soil, and is willing to work for the production team. However, in these years, if you are willing to put in the effort, you may not be able to eat enough.

They have many families, so the couple earns a share of work. There are three children at home, and a blind old mother who can't work.

As a result, there is simply not enough food to eat.

The children in the family often screamed with hunger, and they owed famine in the team every year.

Because the two families live closely, Wang Qiusheng's family is not bad to the predecessor. Usually, Wang Manyin's clothes and quilts are torn and mended, and they are all made by Wang Qiusheng's mother-in-law.

In addition, this guy is too lazy to grow vegetables, and often goes to other people's own fields to find it.

In this regard, Wang Qiusheng never said anything.

So if he can, Wang Manyin is still willing to help the other party.

"By the way, Manyin, this is an old leaven, I grabbed a handful for you."

In addition to coming over to express his gratitude, Wang Qiusheng mainly sent leaven.

Wang Manyin took it and asked, "Brother Qiusheng, do you know how to make yeast?" I'll try to do it in the future, I can't use your family all the time. ”

He is not as cheeky as his predecessor and intends to do it himself in the future.

"Full silver, this is simple, you leave a ball of noodles when you steam the corn nest today......"

That's it, that's it?
