Chapter 238: A Year of Prosperity

Wang Manyin and the others returned to the place where they had just peed, sniffed again, and sure enough, they smelled a strange fragrance wafting in again.

"It's weird, it's weird, could it be that this incense is going to heaven?" Dong Gang glared and searched carefully, even in the trees, but still found no trace of the prey.

However, Wang Manyin felt that something was wrong, and kept searching for the pile of dead leaves on the ground.

Along the way, he was very envious of the living environment of Ganshuigou Village, just the fallen leaves in the forest were enough for a family to cook for half a month.

Around the fallen leaves, there are a lot of black granular droppings, which look very similar to sheep dung.

Wang Manyin scratched the dead leaves twice with a branch, and then a black and shiny thing appeared in front of the two of them.

The fragrance is more and more rushing to the nose.

"When you are a disciple, why are you here? Someone hid it! Seeing the mass clearly, Dong Gang couldn't help but exclaim. Looking at the size, it is bigger than what everyone dug before.

"Call Uncle Yang to come and see, what's going on?" Wang Manyin responded. Although this musk was discovered by himself, he had no intention of eating it alone.

According to the rules of the hunting party, all the prey should be divided equally.

He had no opinion on that.

However, Wang Manyin is also a little puzzled now, who got the musk sachet and did not bring it back, but buried it in the leaves.

"It's too troublesome to find someone, I'll shoot directly!" As he spoke, Dong Gang raised his gun to the sky.

Gunshots were heard, and shouts were quickly heard around.

Then, Yang Quangui and others appeared nearby.

"Uncle Yang, look at what we found!" Dong Gang excitedly took the musk pouch to show off at the other party.

"When Menzi, where is Xiangzi?"

"What the hell is going on?"

A group of people came up to them and exclaimed in the same exclamation.

When they heard the gunshots just now, they thought that Dong Gang and the others had obtained musk sacs after they found their prey and shot them. But the woods in front of me were very clean, and there was no prey in sight, not even blood.

"We didn't see Kako, this thing was picked up from a pile of dead leaves." Wang Manyin explained with a smile.

"Pick it up, how is it possible?"

"That's really the case, our ......"

Dong Gang explained the discovery process in detail, leaving the rest of the audience with envy and bewilderment.

"I know what's going on...... Incense is produced in spring and summer, and when the sachet is full in autumn and winter, some people will suffer from acute pain, and they will kick out the sachet with their hooves and leave it in the mountains. But there are very few people who can pick it up, and you two are lucky......"

Yang Quangui can serve as the captain of the hunting team, of course, he has a certain ability, and he has a good understanding of the habits of prey in the mountains.

Can it be like this?!

A group of people were curious when they heard this, and turned around and scratched up among the fallen leaves nearby.

"Don't look for it, there are so many." Yang Quangui stopped everyone from continuing to do useless work.

After this toss, the hunting team completely lost the trace of the Xiangzi group. But getting two sachets is not worth the trip.

Their main purpose this time was to find the wild boar herd, so instead of driving the hounds further into the mountain, they turned around and walked out of the mountain.

Seeing that he was about to leave the mountain, suddenly a hunting dog barked wildly at a mountain beam on the side.

Then, the rest of them also kept screaming.

In the eyes of everyone, an earthy yellow figure flashed, and then disappeared into the ravine bushes.

"Dirt leopard!" A member of the team called excitedly.

The earth leopard, that is, the money leopard, has a little money markings on its fur, which is very conspicuous.

Wang Manyin didn't expect that when he was about to walk out of the mountain, he finally saw the legendary big cat.

Although it was only a quick glance, everyone had already seen it clearly. This leopard is not big, it is bigger than an ordinary hunting dog, it is estimated that it is fifty or sixty pounds, and it should be in its juvenile stage.

It's a pity that this guy dodged too fast and didn't give people a chance to shoot at all.

In addition, the ravines are undulating and overgrown with shrubs and weeds. This guy got into it, but it was hard to see a trace.

"You guys, hurry up and take a detour to outflank the other half. Later I caught up with the hounds...... Everyone be prepared, as long as the leopard dares to show its head, shoot it immediately, don't let it escape. Yang Quanyou hurriedly gave an order.

In fact, they usually hunt leopards with their brains and rarely use guns. Because bullets leave holes in the fur, so they are worthless.

The so-called clamp brain is a large clamp, weighing thirty or forty pounds, specially used to catch large prey.

However, it happens to happen in front of you, so you can't miss it.

Wang Manyin had noticed that hunters on the Loess Plateau generally blocked their prey in the valley. The reason is simple, the valley is densely wooded, and prey likes to hide in it.

As everyone knows, this just gives human beings the opportunity to block at both ends.

After waiting for more than ten minutes, Yang Quanyou heard the whistle on the opposite side, and only then did Yang Quanyou beckon the rest of the people to enter the valley to hunt.

Unexpectedly, the leopard did not flee far, and kept hiding in the bushes not far from the mouth of the valley.

In the barking of the hounds, the guy showed half of his body again.

Wang Manyin was standing on a big rock and watching, just in time to be able to see it. He didn't hesitate and immediately aimed and raised his gun to shoot.

Bang!

In the distance, I saw the guy tumbling out.

"Hit!"

For his marksmanship, Wang Manyin is very self-aware, and he was definitely trying his luck just now.

When a few people arrived in front of the bushes, they saw a big cat lying in a pool of blood, dead and unable to die again.

This guy is indeed not big, with a lot of black spots on his gray and yellowish fur, long hairs on pointed ears, but his tail is very short, which is very different from the money leopard he knows.

Wang Manyin was stunned for a moment, and called out its true identity: "It seems to be a lynx,"

In the next second, Yang Quanyou also shouted: "Big lynx!" ”

Seeing the prey clearly, the crowd became disappointed again.

White was happy!

Although the fur of the great bobcat is also valuable, it is still not much different from the leopard skin.

No matter how it drops, this time into the mountain is also a full harvest. The crowd did not delay any longer, and walked in the direction of the village with their prey.

After arriving at Ganshuigou Village, Wang Manyin and Dong Gang did not stop, and directly rode bicycles to stop the car on the side of the asphalt road.

As for the proceeds of this hunt, when Dong Gang went to Jar Village and handed it over to himself. In addition, I met Yang Quangui and them, and I have the opportunity to go into the mountains again to play in the future.

The two of them didn't wait long on the side of the road when they ran into a coal truck passing by.

It's a pity that the car didn't go to Yuanxi County, but from the driver's mouth, they got the information they wanted.

In the evening, Wang Manyin had already returned to Jar Village.

***

The sweet potato egg production recipe in Jar Village is guided by Bai Mingchuan throughout the process, and the operation is strictly in accordance with the steps, and the effect is quite good. But then the situation from other villages was not very good.

After many sweet potato roots are shaved open, they are completely more than a dozen pounds of sweet potato mother and child, and the inside has been completely lignified, and they cannot be eaten at all. Others only bear finger-sized sweet potato roots.

The whole planting process tossed people enough, and the result was similar to transplanting with sweet potato seedlings. This made many people disappointed, and they became more and more distrustful of the new technology promoted by the commune.

Wang Manyin felt that he really didn't complain about the commune this time, mainly because many production teams did not grasp the key to clearing the roots. After the sweet potato is buried in the soil, it is necessary to open the soil to four-fifths of the soil, and remove the excess seed sprouts around it in time to achieve high yield.

If the root is too light, it will cause the sweet potato mother and child to swell into wood and not lay eggs at all. If the root is cleared too hard, the sweet potato seedlings will grow slowly and even die due to the drought and lack of water on the surface.

In short, sweet potatoes sound simple to lay eggs, but in fact, the technical content is still very high.

Therefore, Wang Manyin can expect that the sweet potato eggs will definitely pass by another gust of wind, and no one will mention it again.

Not long after harvesting the spring sweet potatoes, the members of the canned village began to break the corn.

It was also at this time that they finally received a notice from the commune that they could continue to weave corn husk braids, but not to expand to other villages.

The mothers-in-law and aunts in the village finally breathed a sigh of relief.

At the end of the busy autumn harvest, the second team of Jarzi Village found a well-drilling team from the county.

After some investigation by several technicians, it was finally decided to dig a deep well in a ravine at the west end of the village.

There were forty or fifty acres of irrigated land, and with the surrounding plateaus, the irrigated area was more than one hundred acres. If everything goes well, even if there is a big drought next year, the members of the second team will at least be able to fill their stomachs, instead of waiting for relief from above.

As for the cement pipe needed to drill the well, Wang Manyin came forward to find Tian Fujun and asked the other party to help him get it.

When the well was drilled in the village of Jarzi, the commune's river workers were also assigned to the village.

Then, dozens of laborers secretly went to the county seat to work as construction workers......

The days flew by, and before I knew it, the mountains near the village of Jar were covered with thick snow.

Selling pigs, distributing grain, and year-end accounts...... Everything is no different from previous years.

Seeing Wang Manyin returning home after the meeting, Orchid hugged the little girl and asked expectantly: "Manyin, what's the matter, do we owe money or have money to spare this year." ”

"I have money to spare, and I divided it into twelve dollars." As he spoke, Wang Manyin took out a few tickets from his arms.

"That's good, that's good," Orchid said excitedly.

With their family's income this year, a dozen yuan is nothing at all.

But in the end, she was very happy.

My family has two children this year, and they have two extra basic food rations. If it weren't for the orchid paying for the work, it would be impossible to see the money back.

Having said that, Wang Manyin's family has a lot of income this year. Selling scorpions, selling pigs, digging herbs...... On the surface, the scattered income is more than 400 yuan.

Of course, privately I earned more.

After going to Mijia Town to sell fish again, the amount of money accumulated in the space has reached three thousand.

During this period of time, not only Wang Manyin and his family were happy, but the other members of the Jar Village were also full of smiles.

Engaged in construction, corn husk weaving...... With the support of these two side hustles, many people can have more than 100 yuan on hand, and even have an income of three or four hundred.

With money in hand, many families are thinking about making new clothes for adults and children, and by the way, buy more New Year's goods. Even the broken babies of each family also have a little more pocket money in their hands.

Wang Manyin's old father-in-law's family is the same, and the debt that has been owed for many years has finally been paid off this year.

A big stone that had been backlogged in his heart for a long time was removed, and Sun Yuhou's whole person seemed to be a few years younger, and his usual voice was two points louder.

However, thinking of Shao'an's matter, he couldn't help but feel a little sad on his face.

Sun Yuhou thought about it for a long time, but he didn't expect that his eldest son and the daughter of Tian Futang's family would be involved.

Seeing the two sitting on the cliff and chatting, Sun Laohan made up his mind. It's not like he's never been young, what do a big girl and a postnatal have to talk about.

No wonder he asked someone to tell Shao'an about the matchmaker before, but he refused to do so.

I don't know when it happened?

To say that the two dolls grew up together since childhood, and even went to school together, there are many good people in the village who make jokes about them. It's just that Shao'an returned to the village to farm after graduating from high school, and Runye then went to the city to study, and after graduation, he ate public food.

Since then, the two of them have been in heaven and on earth. Sun Yuhou didn't think about it anymore.

He has watched Runye grow up since he was a child, she is a very good person, and she hopes that the other party can become his daughter-in-law.

To say that Shao'an is not bad now, listening to the meaning of the eldest son-in-law, after going to the fifth phase of college, it is considered a commercial grain, and it is barely matched with Runye.

But the key is whether he says this matter or not, it depends on Tian Futang's meaning. This person is not a fuel-efficient lamp, if you know, you don't know how to make things difficult.

Sun Laohan thought about it, but he didn't think of a solution.

He took advantage of the fact that he went to the commune to catch the market a year ago, abducted to his daughter's house, and told the matter in a hurry, wanting the eldest woman and son-in-law to give an opinion.

"Dad, you know about this?" Orchid asked in surprise.

Wang Manyin was also a little speechless: The two of them were too careless, and it didn't matter if they were in pairs in the county, how could they return to Shuangshui Village to pay attention to me.

When you look back, you must tell Shao'an to be low-key.

"When will Shao'an tell you?" Hearing the eldest woman's words, Sun Yuhou was a little confused.

When he came to his daughter's house, he hesitated for a long time, but he didn't expect the two of them to know.

"Dad, don't worry about this, the key depends on what Shao'an and Runye think......" Orchid comforted her and repeated her husband's previous statement.

They persuaded for a long time before sending the old man away.

The two wanted to keep the meal, but Sun Yuhou refused.

In fact, don't look at the fact that the two villages are separated by a few miles, and the old man rarely comes to the door.

Even if he misses his grandson, he asks Shaoping and Lan Xiang to carry the letter and call them to bring the child back for dinner.

With the sound of firecrackers in the village, a year has passed, and a new year has begun.

Afraid of disturbing the two little guys, Wang Manyin deliberately chose to set off firecrackers on the edge of the fieldside.

The orchid even covered the little girl's ears and said something in her mouth.

As a result, the sound still woke them up.

Little Stone got up from the bed and refused to sleep again.

This guy is getting older and more solid, and he can't even get under the covers.

Helpless, Wang Manyin had no choice but to dress him and walk around the cave with his arms......

But the little girl has always been very quiet, and after waking up and breastfeeding, she didn't cry or make trouble, she lay in her mother's arms, her eyes purring and looking around.

Orchid named her daughter Wang Xing, and her nickname was Little Apricot.

treats this girl as if she were her own child, and naturally hopes that she will be happy in the future.

At dawn, Wang Manyin began to make a fire to boil dumplings, stuffed with mutton and green onions. A few years ago, Dong Gang sent a few catties of mutton, and Wang Manyin not only kept some for his own family, but also sent some to his father-in-law's family......
