Chapter 13: A Mother's Heart
The communication between Qin Mianmian and Fu Jingbo was unexpectedly smooth every time.
When it went smoothly, she often wondered if Fu Chen and others' comments on Fu Jingbo were correct.
Could it be that this person is so little talking, causing them to give up communicating with him and simply characterize him as a fool.
But after seeing Fu Jingbo so obedient, she felt that this was unlikely.
After all, if he is a person who is a man of few words, then he must be very cold, such a cold person, how can he do whatever Qin Mianmian says.
For example, now, Qin Mianmian asked him to move a stone to smash the wild boar unconscious, and he really did it.
The wild boar, which was still struggling desperately on the ground just now, and its howling and headache suddenly lost its voice.
Qin Mianmian saw his decisiveness, and couldn't help but feel a little weird in his heart.
Is this a fool's decision to be fast?
Just as she was shaking her head, Fu Jingbo had already carried the wild boar with the rope sleeve.
The rope was originally trapped on a bush, and the wild boar weighing more than 100 pounds could not break it, so you can imagine how strong the rope made of vines was.
But Fu Jingbo just dragged the boar's front feet upward, and the rope sleeve broke in response.
Qin Mianmian: ......
It must have been that the wild boar twisted the vine when it struggled before, so Fu Jingbo tore it off so easily.
It must be like this!
When she thought so, Fu Jingbo, who was carrying a wild boar, had already walked in front of her.
Seeing that she was stunned, he simply took the badger pig from her hand.
After answering, he didn't speak, and walked down the mountain with the wild boar on his shoulder.
Qin Mianmian was stunned in place for a while with a firewood knife, and then quickly chased after him.
Carrying a wild boar, the firewood that Fu Jingbo cut just now naturally didn't care.
Fortunately, it's not far away, and it doesn't hurt to wait until they've finished handling the wild boar and come back to bundle firewood.
When the two of them arrived home, it was already past noon, and Fu Chen was at home using the newly found wild vegetables to make vegetable dumplings again.
When she saw Fu Jingbo coming back with a wild boar, she was stunned.
"It's... What did you hunt? She waited until Fu Jingbo threw the wild boar on the ground before she found her voice.
I knew that there were wild boars in the mountains, but there were no hunters in this village, and few hunters from other places came here.
Seriously, the people in the village hate wild boars very much.
The other wild things are fine, but this wild boar is annoying, and it will steal and eat the things in the field when they are about to be harvested.
Whether it's corn or sweet potatoes, if you are hit by wild boar, the harvest will be at least half lower.
In those days, the yield of the fields was already low, and they had to pay taxes...
How many people are going hungry because of these wild boars, and one meal has to be broken into three meals to eat.
The Fu family's land was arched by wild boars last year, the corn was broken in half, and the sweet potatoes were arched in half.
If it weren't for this, how could their family have a meal of sweet potato rice now, and how could they eat that stick noodle every day.
Fu Chen, who hated the wild boar, was overflowing with joy at the moment he saw the wild boar in the yard.
Wild boars are hateful in the mountains, but they can be caught, and they are walking meat.
They are poor people who rarely see meat a few times a year, how can they not see pigs at this time.
What's more, this meat can still be sold.
Fangfang, who twisted his foot, originally planned to pick up firewood later, go to see Xiaohuzi, and return his back basket to him by the way.
At this moment, when he saw his eldest brother and Qin Mianmian coming back with a wild boar, his eyes widened.
"Wild boar, do we have meat to eat today!" She shouted in surprise.
Qin Mianmian glanced at her, smiled, and went to the kitchen to scoop up a scoop of water to drink.
On a hot day, I was really thirsty when I came back from the mountain, and the cool well water was really much more comfortable.
After drinking the water, he scooped a large scoop from the water tank, took it out and handed it to Fu Jingbo, who had also just returned from the mountain.
"Drink some water, and we'll take the wild boar to town and sell it later." She said.
"Huh? Sell it? Fang Fang pouted, a little disappointed.
"I have to sell it, I can't put it down on this hot day. If you don't sell it early, I'm afraid it will stink tomorrow. Fu Chen finally came back to his senses, and when Fu Jingbo finished drinking the water, he took the water ladle in his hand.
Then he was a little difficult: "But we don't have a wheelbarrow at home, do we have to carry it to the town?" ”
When she said this, she glanced at Fu Jingbo, her eyes full of distress.
This wild boar weighs a hundred pounds, and it is not close to the town....
If you carry it, it will be so tiring.
"If you can't do it, you can only carry it." Qin Mianmian pursed her lower lip: "Unless you can borrow a car." ”
"But today is the market, and several families in the village who have cars are pushing their cars to the town to catch the market. The only one who didn't go..."Fu Chen paused, looking indescribable.
"Mother, tell me straight, whose family is it." Qin Mianmian also saw that she was in trouble, and asked directly.
"It's your Aunt Luo's house." Fu Chen's voice was lower, and it was obvious that she was unwilling to go to Luo's house to borrow a car.
Roche is so shrewd, how could she not take advantage of it if she went to borrow a car.
For a person like her, a dog will be cut off two handfuls of hair when she passes in front of the door, and Qin Mianmian is also reluctant to deal with such a person.
"Then don't borrow it." She simply said: "It's the one who works hard to carry the pig." ”
When she said this, she was not looking at Fu Jingbo, but at Fu Chen.
Sure enough, Fu Chen's face was distressed, and he was almost about to open his mouth to stop it.
"We are short of money, and we can make a little more money by selling an extra pound of meat." Qin Mianmian reminded in a low voice.
It's not that she didn't see that Fu Chen hesitated, if Qin Mianmian didn't speak, she would most likely borrow a car because she felt sorry for her son.
Then, the result was that she was willingly pitted by Wan Luo again.
And over there, Fu Jingbo didn't know whether he listened to their words or not, as soon as Qin Mianmian's words were finished, he lifted the wild boar on the ground again and threw it on his shoulder.
It was smooth, and it didn't look easy.
The corners of Qin Mianmian's mouth twitched, it seemed that it was not very difficult for Fu Jingbo to carry the wild boar to the town.
Before she could say anything, Fu Chen exclaimed first.
"Do you really want to carry it to town, or maybe you have something to eat and then go. You've just come back from the mountains, and you're all hungry. ”
As he spoke, he wanted to help, as if he was afraid that Fu Jingbo would twist his waist.
The people she was worried about didn't hear her at all, or if they did, they didn't hear it, and they carried the wild boar and walked out.
Qin Mianmian raised her eyebrows, with a helpless look, patted Fu Chen's shoulder and followed.
"Don't worry, mother, we will find something to eat when we sell wild boars in town." While speaking, he waved his hand to say goodbye to the mother and daughter of the Fu family.
Fu Chen looked at them with a sad expression: "How can you let him do such a thing....."
