The two brothers pecked each other as if they were relatives, and the little girls who followed them picked up a lot of jokes and laughed, and the group went down the mountain in a noisy manner.
This trip was quite fruitful, with three rabbits and two pheasants. Two of the rabbits fell into a pit and died, and one pheasant had its leg clipped off. Lu Wei shied away from her fear and asked Luo Yuting to take the dead rabbit back.
When they got married, the lame pheasant was also given to the two brothers.
The two brothers didn't want it at first, but they were embarrassed to accept it after Luo Yuting asked.
It wasn't that Luo Yuting was coveting the little girl's hard-earned prey, it was that she realized that Nannan believed in the principle of equal exchange, just like doing exercises in exchange for rewards. She didn't understand the meaning of learning, but she understood that there would be rewards for giving.
This is the reason, so every time I answer the question, I am very proactive and have no resistance, just to get the right to exchange for delicious food.
If they don't accept it this time, if something happens next time, Nannan will definitely solve it secretly by herself again.
At this point, she is simply too precocious to look like a four-year-old baby.
Maybe it’s because the children of poor people should be the masters early!
Luo Yuting thought sadly.
In the past few days, they went to the mountains for a walk when they had nothing to do. Although the harvest was not as rich as the first day, they always failed. The injured or dead prey was divided between the two families, adding a lot of food to the dining tables of the two families.
Less food.
Almost everyone in the village knows the situation at Grandma Zhou's house. If they meet her occasionally, they will turn a blind eye. It is normal for the boys to go to the mountains to take out bird eggs and beat up small birds for snacks.
In fact, we don’t even have decent tools for hunting. In addition, the Zhou family’s affairs are really embarrassing, so the villagers tacitly avoid talking about it.
However, Luo Yuting understood the inconveniences of this era and immediately took the lead to set an example and persuade her daughter.
Lu Wei didn't want to run up the mountain for a long time. She was not a diligent person. If Grandma Zhou's body didn't allow it, she would still enjoy the age of a human cub, except eating, drinking and playing.
So the four children decided to go up the mountain for the last time to collect the prey and fill in the traps. Unexpectedly, the small animals on the mountain cooperated unusually. A nest of hares actually ran into their daughter's basket on the ground one by one. It was so silly.
They ate in groups the wild vegetables that my daughter picked from the edge of the river beach.
The three brothers and sisters were completely stunned.
Without any surprise, Lu Wei directly covered the basket with a coarse cloth and sealed the mouth. Luo Yuting picked up the wild vegetable leaves that were accidentally pulled out by the hare and found a reasonable explanation for Nannan, "It's radicchio, Nannan picked it."
It’s Laoye, rabbits love it most.”
This time the three brothers and sisters refused to divide the rabbits, so Lu Wei simply raised them all secretly.
Now that she can eat meat every dinner, Grandma Zhou initially thought it was supported by the captain's family, and thought about returning the meat tickets to others. However, when she saw a hare jumping around in the corner of the yard, chasing two old hens around, she thought
I learned that the four children went hunting in the mountains.
Her heart almost jumped out of fear. Wild boars occasionally appeared in groups in the mountains, and it was difficult for adults to deal with them. Moreover, private hunting was still not allowed, and the mountains were all public property. It was okay that they were children.
No one is watching, and the atmosphere in the village is so good that no one cares about it, but as time goes by, people will inevitably find ways to cause trouble.
She quickly took her children to the health center, and after having the barefoot doctor certify that she had completely recovered, she closed the door and sternly warned them not to go up the mountain privately again.
The four little ones nodded obediently.
The old lady was moved and blamed herself.
Grandma Zhou only rested for more than ten days. She also took Lu Wei to the edge of the forest and cut some thin branches to build a nest for the rabbits to prevent them from running around and making the yard smelly.
The prey that had not been eaten before was also marinated by her and placed in the empty cellar, so that it could be taken out and eaten directly when the farming was busy.
After finishing her chores at home, Grandma Zhou quickly got into farming.
Lu Wei also resumed her previous routine, studying with Luo Yuting in the morning, and going to the fields to work with Grandma Zhou in the afternoon. The difference was that the grandfather and grandson no longer had to live a cautious life.
There is no wanton waste by the couple at home, and the remaining food and money bills can completely support the whole family through the winter.
Around mid-May, two female rabbits at home gave birth to a litter of rabbits.
There were seventeen little rabbits in total. One was crushed to death because it was discovered too late. Grandma Zhou selected three males and three females to keep as breeding rabbits. The remaining two pairs were given to Luo Yuting and the twins, and one pair was given to Aunt Li.
.
Personal breeding is still prohibited, and the excuse is to let children play.
These two families often came to help her during her illness. Little Rabbit couldn't compare to this friendship, but it was just a little bit of kindness.
The last four were slightly raised, made into sauced rabbit meat, and given to the sisters and party secretary Luo Chengqing who occasionally helped cook a few times. The young men who sent her to the medical station each gave one to them earlier.
Sauce meat on a plate.
In fact, it is common for people in the village to help each other, but Grandma Zhou has such a temperament that she does not like to ask for favors from others, so she tries her best to do everything in a more comprehensive way.
There were too many rabbits raised secretly at home, and the hay on both sides of the path was not enough to eat. Lu Wei added something new to her daily life, and went to the forest edge with her grandma to hunt weeds.
The rabbits in Zhou Yuting's family were raised separately, and the village leaders did not dare to engage in capitalist breeding in a big way. They only let rabbits have a litter occasionally to satisfy their family's appetite.
Aunt Li also secretly raised rabbits, but she couldn't keep them. As soon as her sons came back from school, she wanted to kill them and make meat for them to eat.
Although supplies were scarce in the 1970s, it was much better than not having enough to eat every day during the famine. The breeding rabbits left by Grandma Zhou gave birth to many baby rabbits. Later, there were too many, so she secretly went to the town to exchange for things. Over time, the accumulation of
Next, the empty cellar was gradually filled half way.
What the grandfather and grandson like most is to count the remaining grains in the cool cellar in midsummer...
Grandma Zhou was very clever and clever, and she would change her tricks every two days to make Lu Wei delicious and delicate dishes. She never treated her children badly in terms of food.
Year after year passed like this, and by the summer of the third year, Lu Wei, who was less than seven years old, seemed to be completely reborn under her grandma's careful feeding and Luo Yuting's extra meals.
The little body with pale skin and pink undertones, and an obviously malnourished body, has moved up several times. The old clothes were resized two or three times, and all the long clothes and trousers have been changed into three-quarter sizes.
In the summer of this year, the dilapidated cowshed in the village was occupied by people - two old people and three small children from Beijing. It was said that they were asked to go to Xiaoluo Village to renovate, get rid of the four olds, and strive for a new life.
The three brothers and sisters are surnamed Li. The eldest brother Li Yu is twelve years old, the second brother Li Nuo is ten years old, and the youngest sister Li Han is eight years old. They are all fair and clean, with delicate outlines. You can tell they are brothers and sisters at a glance, and the older one is
The old couple are their grandparents.
Many children in the village have a vague concept of the Four Olds, but this does not prevent them from watching the fun and bullying others. When they get naughty, they have also done the disgusting thing of throwing dung balls into the cowshed.
