It was the Xu brothers who knocked on the door. They hurriedly and slowly arrived at the door safely in the middle of the night.
Because the eldest and second child have gone up the mountain, everyone in the family, except for a few children, is very alert when sleeping, and wakes up when they hear the slightest movement.
When they were sure that the knock was from their own door, they all got up in the dark with worry.
If you knock on the door at this time, it is most likely the two brothers.
But the stipulated time has not arrived. If the two of them went down the mountain early, something must have happened. And people's reaction is to think about the bad aspects first.
Xu Youfu was the first to pull on his shoes and open the door.
There are indeed two brothers outside.
But when he saw the two brothers standing neatly outside the door, Xu Youfu breathed a sigh of relief.
"Come in quickly!" Regardless of whether you have received the goods or not, just be fine.
Li Chunju and her two daughters-in-law followed after them. They were relieved to see that both brothers had beards and tails.
"Boss and the second brother's house, you two boil a pot of water and make some ginger soup for them to dispel the cold."
Li Chunju ordered, and she turned around to find clothes for the brothers to change into.
"Mom, don't worry. What do you think we did when we came back?" the two brothers said, somewhat asking for credit.
The two brothers were running all the way and were excited, so they didn't feel too cold.
After finishing speaking, the two of them moved slightly to the side, revealing the silly roe deer behind them.
Everyone took a look and saw that there was a big bulge behind the two people. They couldn't tell what the color was, but the shape was not old or small.
"If you have anything to say, go home and tell me!"
Xu Youfu narrowed his eyes and said, "Why are you still waiting at the door? Come in quickly!" After saying that, he went out to help carry the things in.
Snowy nights in winter are extremely quiet, and the slightest movement may be heard.
Li Chunju also thought of this. After the things were carried in, she looked warily back and forth outside the door before bolting the door.
In the room, everyone was speechless around the roe deer. After a while, Bao Yuzhen spoke first: "I'm a good boy, you two brothers can do it, you can actually deal with such a big guy."
"Old man, have we not seen this roe deer in more than ten years?"
Xu Youfu was also very surprised: "Yes, I thought they were extinct during the Great Famine, but I didn't expect that they were still left. You two are indeed quite capable."
The two brothers chuckled: "We are lucky this time, it's a coincidence, it's a coincidence." Although the tone of their words was very humble, there was a sense of high spirits.
Everyone gathered around and chatted again, and then discussed how to distribute these things.
"Seeing as the Chinese New Year is coming soon, I think we should split the roe deer into two parts, keep one half to eat at home or to visit relatives, and the other half will be secretly transported to the town and exchanged for other things."
As the head of the family, Xu Youfu spoke up.
"Okay, it's cold now, so I can put it away during the Chinese New Year. The half left at home will be divided into three and I will give one to my in-laws."
This portion costs almost ten kilograms, which is a very generous gift. Although the conditions are better than before, there are restrictions on what you can do.
When the two daughters-in-law heard this, they hurriedly declined and thanked her.
"Tomorrow you two brothers will work harder to deal with the roe deer and find time to take it to the town to sell it. Just keep the two flying dragons."
"Dad, we know."
After the things were distributed, the brothers drank ginger soup and soaked their feet before going back to the house to rest.
Sang Wei was already awake when she knocked on the door, and she naturally listened to these words. She sighed to Xiao Shitou: "I just dreamed about eating meat and drinking broth, but I didn't expect that this meat came into the house."
Little Shitou nodded and teased: "I just don't know when I will get into your mouth."
Sang Wei was completely defeated.
