"Then you go and collect firewood quickly. We both have to go collect firewood quickly." After saying that, he took his younger brother and chose a direction to walk over.
The younger of the two brothers said a little unhappy at this time: "My mother found out this news. They came over secretly while my mother was talking. Why are you laughing at them?"
"Brother! That's not how things work out. We have to live in the village in the future. We can't offend so many people. Otherwise, what if they stumble you? Why don't you say something nice now and give them a gift?
It’s a favor, besides, even if they set off first, they didn’t arrive before us.”
As he spoke, he pointed to the rabbit in the quilt on his back.
Thinking about the rabbits in their backs, the two of them felt relieved. "Brother, let's catch them quickly. There are so many people here and they are captured by others. We can catch two more to make up for it."
"OK"
Because Zhang Yu released more rabbits, even if they ran away after a long time, they still gained a lot.
Most of the people who came here were able to catch one, and the two brothers were even more impressive, catching five in total.
When they took the five rabbits home, the lady was so excited that she went crazy. She saw so many people there today and thought the two children would return empty-handed.
She prayed in her heart that it would be enough to catch one. Catching one would be enough. Catching one would not be a waste of her four nests.
"Mom, let's eat rabbit today."
"What should I eat? Do you think I look like a rabbit? Do you want to eat me?" She patted her youngest son on the back, and then took the rabbit from them.
He looked at the rabbits with fire-like eyes, and the rabbits couldn't help but tremble.
After a long time, he said: "Sell the rabbits while they are still alive. How long will these rabbits last if they are replaced with food?"
After hearing her words, the two brothers were a little disappointed, but they both understood. After all, food is the most important thing this year.
The boss put the bag on his back and said, "I'm going to go there."
"Okay, go slow and be careful on the road. If something happens, you would rather not have anything, and you have to come back well."
"I got it, mom, don't worry. I won't go to the black market, just go to my friend's place." He has sold things a few times, and he knows the depth inside, so he won't do it rashly. He has a friend who is
For the person responsible for this, just exchange things directly with him.
She stood at the door, watching her eldest son carry the rabbit out, and then remembered her two sons' greedy appearance for rabbit meat. She couldn't bear it, so she called the boss again: "Boss, please come back first."
"Mom, what's the matter?"
"You come back first." She said and took out a rabbit from the covered back. After looking at it, she put the rabbit back. After picking for a long time, she took out a rabbit that she felt was the smallest.
"Mom?" the eldest son asked doubtfully, "Aren't you going to sell it?"
"Mom, after thinking about it carefully, you can exchange four rabbits for food. I'll leave this one for you to satisfy your cravings."
"Mom, please exchange that rabbit for food, I'm not greedy." The younger son is also sensible and knows that food is important at this time, so he endured his greed and said.
She felt a little sad when she saw her two sons swallowing their saliva and saying that they were not hungry. They had not tasted meat for a long time.
"It's enough to sell four. Save this one for the evening, eat a little tonight, and then smoke the rest and save it for the New Year and the holidays."
"Mom, you are so kind." After hearing her words, knowing that his mother felt sorry for him, his two sons surrounded her.
When she saw the two sons gathered around her, she felt a little embarrassed for a moment and waved her hand: "Go, go, go, go, go, go, you are so old, why are you still hanging around my mother?"
As he spoke, he used his hands to tuck the hair that had spread in front behind his ears, "You're okay, right? If you need anything, go get busy!"
Knowing that my mother was embarrassed, the two of them laughed a few times, and then went about their own business, "Mom, I'm going to exchange for food."
"Mom, then I'll chop wood."
But before leaving, he said again, "Mom, don't worry, I'll catch you tomorrow."
"Yes, mother, my eldest brother and I will go catch them tomorrow. Even if we don't catch as many as we did today, we will definitely catch more. If so many people hadn't come today, we would have caught more."
When stewing meat, I didn't dare to use a big pot because I was afraid of being smelled by neighbors or something.
I found the pot that I used to boil medicine for my old man, cleaned it, and boiled it twice with water. When the smell of traditional Chinese medicine no longer smelled so strong, I quickly chopped a rabbit leg, and then cut the leg into small pieces.
I closed the doors and windows tightly and stayed up inside.
Although I was a little choked and a little nervous, but to Huanxi who could eat meat, this little bit of panic, this little bit of choking was nothing.
When the eldest son came back from the food exchange, he looked at the food and became happy again.
"Mom, this is the food we exchanged for. Because rabbits don't produce much meat, there won't be much food for them. But because my classmates happened to be there today and our rabbit fat, they killed one on the spot.
I found that there was a lot of meat on it.
So he decided to exchange one pound of rabbits for two pounds of grain. The four rabbits weighed a total of 26 pounds and exchanged for 52 pounds of grain. However, I didn’t ask for good food, but the worst, so I brought back more than 100 pounds of grain."
"Okay, okay, you did the right thing, this food is already very good." She stroked the big bag full of food. For them now, the quantity of food is more important than the taste.
She would make the same choice if she did.
In addition to these grains, if you save a little on a daily basis, you will be able to last until the next grain distribution.
The family divided the food into several portions and hid it everywhere. She also told her younger son: "You must not say that we have food when you go out."
"Mom, I'm not young anymore. Besides, I'm not stupid. I won't talk nonsense when I go out. Don't worry." Hearing the instructions to himself, the younger son was a little unhappy. He was not stupid. At this time,
Food is so important, he won't go out and talk nonsense. What if someone comes to borrow food, or what if someone steals the food when they are not at home?
"Okay, okay, it's my mother's fault, it's my mother's fault, wash your hands and eat quickly." After hiding the food, the family had a delicious meal, and they didn't even spit out the bones. Let them chew hard, chew and eat.
.
While eating rabbits, the two of them secretly vowed to work hard to catch more rabbits tomorrow.
The news spread out somehow, and for five or six days in a row, people flocked from all directions to the mountain to catch rabbits.
