009 Prepare for the city
Although Chu Xiangqian knew about his father's funeral, it was the second uncle who really helped, but the other villagers really helped, and this favor had to be remembered.
And the boundary of defining whether or not is taken advantage of is actually very simple.
There is no return for just paying, which is the most unacceptable.
Friends and colleagues treat each other to dinner, as long as there is a back and forth.
Please more time, please less time, few people will remember it so clearly.
If I hadn't said anything this time, not only would no one in the same village help me in the future.
When the second uncle helps him get back the food and bills exchanged for the black bear, some people will inevitably be jealous and have bad thoughts.
And just beating a black bear can be said to be luck.
But if they go up the mountain again in the afternoon and can bring back some pheasants and hares, then in the eyes of the leaders, they are useful people.
"Second uncle, I won't follow you when I go to the commune in the afternoon, and when I have lunch, I'll go to the mountains to hunt some pheasants and hares and come back.
Inviting everyone to have a meal can be regarded as a thank you for helping to take care of my father's funeral. ”
When the people around heard this, they immediately became happy.
Secretly Dao, the eldest son of the Chu family, can be regarded as sensible after the catastrophe does not die.
Chu He patted Chu Xiangqian's arm, "Okay, you should really invite everyone to eat." ”
But that being said, where does Chu He believe that Chu Qianqian can really hit, enough game for more than 20 male hosts to eat.
With this black bear, in addition to helping his nephew come to the militia, he may also be able to become a forest ranger.
Then use the grain and bills in exchange, buy two or three catties of meat, and get three or five in a large pot at night, and see a little meat in the cabbage and radish, which should be enough.
As for wine, it is natural to buy a dozen catties of bulk wine that does not require a ticket.
When the people around him dispersed, Chu Xiangqian pulled the second uncle and whispered, "Uncle, help me invite a few cadres from the commune to come over in the afternoon." ”
Chu He was stunned for a moment, and then heard Chu Xiangqian whisper, "Now the grain has begun to be nervous, although the game is not as delicious as the big fat pig, it is also meat."
Maybe I'll be able to get into town because of that. ”
Chu He was happy at first, but after thinking about it for a few seconds, he felt that Chu Qianqian was dizzy.
Not to mention the danger of entering the mountains, wild meat is not so easy to fight.
Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many old hunters, and they would often go hungry.
Moreover, the mountain road is difficult to walk, and the range that normal people can walk every day is actually very limited, and no one can guarantee that there will be a harvest every time they go up the mountain.
But Chu Xiangqian is different, he doesn't need to go too far, go out for a walk, and it is best to catch wild meat.
I didn't hit it, so I simply used the pheasant in the novice village to fill the number.
Even if there are only one or two at a time, it is meaningless to the unit.
But for some leaders who love to eat, that is talent.
Even if you don't eat it yourself, you can use it to invite the leaders of your brother units to get acquainted with each other, not only by deepening the relationship, but also by making it easier to get the supplies that are in short supply when you need them in the future.
Seven or eight pheasants and hares per month are exchanged for twenty-seven or eighty or even thirty yuan per month, and there is a job in the capital with fixed grain.
No matter how you calculate it, it's a good deal.
What's more, only when you enter the city will you have more opportunities to get in touch with antiques to collect gold tickets in the game.
Chu Xiangqian faintly felt that the key to getting out of the novice village must be related to antiques.
Chu He couldn't persuade Chu Xiangqian, so he could only try to say, "I can't invite the cadres and leaders of the commune, but the cadres of the forest farm and the supply and marketing cooperatives are fine." ”
Chu Xiangqian was not disappointed, after all, it made no sense to force the second uncle to do what he couldn't do.
"Uncle, you have a good look", Chu Xiangqian smiled, "I don't know if I broke through the limit when I forcibly brought my father back."
After the body survived and the injury was healed, it felt like the whole person was reborn.
Not only has my strength and endurance become stronger, but my eyesight has also increased a lot. On the way back with the blind bear on his shoulders today, he saw more than seven or eight pheasants and hares. ”
Chu He was overjoyed after hearing this, if his nephew could enter the city, it was not unacceptable to take risks at all.
Seriously, the casualty rate of loggers is not low.
One is to venture into the city and get as far as possible.
One is that the future doesn't know when, and one negligence will hurt and die.
And if something really happens, the whole family will be destroyed.
Yes, everyone knows how to choose.
As for Chu Xiangqian saying that he became stronger after his serious illness, Chu He didn't care much.
To put it bluntly, this is a life in exchange.
Patting Chu Qianqian's arm, "Then be careful." ”
"Don't worry", Chu Xiangqian smiled, "There are two hounds here, it's going to be fine." ”
Chu He nodded, pondered for a few more seconds, "Come home with me." ”
After entering the second uncle's house, I saw that Chu Ailin, the second boy of the second uncle's family, and Chu Aiqiu, the third girl, were not there, and when I thought about it, I knew that these two little guys must have gone to see the big bear like other children.
said hello to the second aunt who was cooking on the fire, and was taken into the house by the second uncle.
After a while, a well-maintained barge gun was in his hands.
When Chu He saw him take it, he couldn't help but sigh, "In the past few years, I have asked your father to bring this gun into the mountains several times, but he dislikes that the short spear is not powerful enough, and the killing of wild boars is not as good as a steel fork."
And if it's too loud, it might cause an avalanche in winter. But if he had carried this gun in the first place, he might have been able to save his life. ”
Chu Xiangqian, who was excited with a real gun, fell silent after hearing this.
In fact, the power of the Mauser C96 is not small, but no matter how powerful the short gun is, it is still far worse than the rifle.
But the second uncle was not wrong, if he had a gun in hand before, he might not be able to kill the black bear with a few shots.
But there is a high probability that when the black bear first appears, shooting into the sky can scare away the blind bear.
Of course, it could also be that the black bear was shot a few times, and was completely enraged first, and bit Chu Shan to death on the spot.
Chu Xiangqian didn't answer Chu He's words, put the shell gun back into the holster, and covered it with clothes on his back.
Then put the small bag containing a lot of bullets into the pocket of the wolf's skin.
When Chu He saw that he had put away the gun, he didn't say anything more.
The two of them went out of the house, and Chu Xiangqian went to help the second aunt cook the fire.
The second aunt is an ordinary rural woman, but she has always been good to Chu Xiangqian.
This may be related to the fact that when he first married the second uncle, Chu Shan, as the eldest brother, gave the second aunt's family 4 oceans and ten catties of white flour as a dowry.
Of course, if the second uncle can't support the whole family by himself, the second aunt, who is a mother, will not be able to take care of the eldest nephew.
Only when you are full will you talk about family affection and etiquette.
Chu Xiangqian only ate two nests, drank a bowl of millet sweet potato porridge and put down the bowl, and the second uncle saw this and hurriedly asked the second aunt to help him add another bowl of millet porridge.
In the big bowl on the table, he took a nest head and put it next to his chopsticks.
Chu Xiangqian waved his hand hurriedly, it was really good to drink a meal of millet sweet potato porridge once in a while, but it was indeed a little unbearable for him to eat wowotou all the time.
And this year, it is already very hospitable to be able to provide enough food as a door-to-door visitor.
