Xu Shiyan's main responsibility on the mountain is to watch ginseng, and he can ignore the rest.
So after breakfast, Xu Shiyan continued to dig traps with his shovel.
Su Anying is a restless person, she has to go to the woods to pick mushrooms, walnuts and so on.
Xu Shiyan was worried about his wife, so he asked Su Anying to follow him.
Where Xu Shiyan was digging a hole, Su Anying would pull some mushrooms, walnuts, hazelnuts, etc. nearby.
Before the workers could take a break at noon, Su Anying went back to heat food for everyone and boiled hot water to make everyone feel more comfortable.
When he got off work in the afternoon, Xu Shiyan gave Yang Chunming, Zhao Jianshe and other people who got along well with each other three or four kilograms of meat.
He also asked Zhao Jianshe to bring a whole boy and a belt to the Xu family.
Now, Xu Shiyan could no longer hide the news that he had caught a wild boar on his first day in the mountains.
Before evening, most people in the village knew about it, and every household was talking about Xu Shiyan and the wild boar.
Those who were talking behind the scenes at first, thinking that Xu Shiyan, a young man, had no future in going up the mountain to look at ginseng, all regretted it now.
"If I had known that going up the mountain to see ginseng would be beneficial, you brothers should have gone. This would be a good thing, as it would give the old Xu family an advantage."
"Look at this family, the couple goes up the mountain to look at ginseng, they both earn work points, the team is in charge of food, and they can also catch wild boars.
I already told you to go, but you just didn’t listen. Now it’s better, and the advantage has been taken by Mr. Xu and his wife.”
There are not a few people who think this way.
In the past, when Lao Li Tou was looking at ginseng in the mountains, no one looked down on the job.
They all felt that this was because the team was taking care of Old Li Tou, just finding him a job to make ends meet.
Later, Lao Li fell ill and lost his mallet at the ginseng market. Everyone suddenly realized that ginseng viewing was also a dangerous job.
When they learned that Xu Shiyan and his wife not only earned work points but also had other benefits in the mountains, some people felt unbalanced.
And Kan Shen, who was not a good job in the eyes of everyone at first, suddenly turned into a favorite in everyone's eyes.
There are three levels of people, and there are always good people and bad people.
There are some people who have little ability, are too ambitious, and have high vision but low power.
But once others are doing well, he becomes jealous and jumps up and down.
There is no other person like this who is most capable of poking behind someone's back.
So, someone found Zhao Dahai and other cadres, and what they said was that they wanted to see Shen and push Xu Shiyan and his wife down.
"Ms. Doute's farts, all of them are unscrupulous and kind-hearted."
Zhao Dahai was so annoyed that he started to curse during team meetings.
"It's a good job to look at ginseng now. Everyone is staring and trying to squeeze in. Why did you go there so early?"
"When I went door to door asking people to go up the mountain to see ginseng, their heads were shaking like rattles."
"The third son of the Xu family is really honest. As soon as I opened my mouth, they nodded in agreement. They also helped me think of ways to come up with so many tools for seeing ginseng."
"Now we all know that there are guns, cannons, and traps on the mountain. It's easy to see ginseng, and you can catch wild boars for meat. Everyone is jealous, right?"
"It's useless to be jealous. From today on, if anyone dares to intercede with you again, I will deduct work points from him."
Zhao Dahai was so angry that he fired a bombardment at the team headquarters, causing everyone to shrink their necks and lower their heads, and no one dared to say a word.
This incident quickly spread throughout the village, and those who were interested in the matter wanted to deduct their work points when they heard about it. They were so frightened that they no longer dared to dig around for connections and use the back door.
This turmoil quickly spread to the ears of the Xu family, and Xu Chenghou got angry and cursed again when he found out.
Of course, this time I was criticizing outsiders.
"These shameless things, how can they lick their faces and say it, if they want to replace our third son?
Without those weird gadgets that we San'er have come up with, how can we still see the sticks on the mountain with just those ugly things?"
Xu Chenghou was very angry. He felt that the people in the village were too careless and unkind.
"Then when Lao Li was here, didn't anything happen if he attended the show? Is it only your son who can do that?"
Zhou Guilan was sitting on the kang, sewing cotton clothes and muttering at the same time.
"Old Li Tou? He is a famous gunner in the big house. He was an excellent hunter when he was young.
A few years ago, I was able to compete with others in marksmanship and win. Can ordinary people compete with Lao Li Tou?
Not to mention, the dogs he raises are extremely powerful. With him here, who would dare to cause trouble?"
Xu Chenghou shook his head, feeling that the old woman was at home all day long and really didn't understand anything.
"Are those dogs so powerful? How could they be drugged?" Zhou Guilan was puzzled.
"What I asked you to ask is that those dogs were raised by Lao Litou himself. Dogs understand human nature.
When Lao Li Tou fell ill like this, the dogs couldn't see him, so they must have stopped eating and lacked energy. When Lao Hu came up later, he probably didn't understand how to feed him.
The thief who stole the stick deep-fried the steamed buns and stuffed them with medicine. The dog was hungry for several days. But when he saw the fragrant steamed buns again, would he still eat it?"
These are not nonsense by Xu Chenghou, they were all found out by people sent by the commune.
The thieves who came to steal the mallet were all experts, and they had a special set of special skills for dealing with dogs. Even the best dogs would not be able to escape when they meet those people.
"Then according to what you say, looking at ginseng is really not a simple job? Can our third son do that?"
After Zhou Guilan finished sewing a thread, she picked up the thread board and put on another thread without raising her head. She said casually with a little disdain in her tone.
"Why can't San'er do it? Our San'er is very powerful. He can even hunt wild boars, so what's the point?"
Xu Chenghou felt a little unhappy when he heard his wife's words.
Zhou Guilan stopped sewing, raised her head, and looked at her husband with a half-smile.
"Oh, after you ate the pork San'er sent back, you think San'er is capable, right?
Didn’t I just hear that he went to the mountains to see ginseng, and your nose doesn’t look like a nose or a face?”
Xu Chenghou was so angry at his wife's words that his face turned red.
"It's been a long time, why don't you dig a big hole and wait for me here." Xu Chenghou raised his hand and wiped his face, and said sarcastically.
"In the past, I underestimated San'er. I didn't expect that our San'er would have such ability." Xu Chenghou sat on the edge of the kang and sighed.
It's impossible to say that I don't regret it.
Xu Chenghou never imagined that his son, who he regarded as a coward who could not be beaten with three sticks, would become so capable after the separation of the family.
If only he had known earlier? He couldn't kick his son out no matter what.
But now it's too late to say anything. The young couple is living a carefree life. What does the family have to do with them?
"Now that you know you regret it? Huh, let me see if you dare to scold San'er again in the future?
Now he was still thinking about his family, so he sold the mallet for the first time and went back to buy a bunch of things.
The second time I didn't buy anything, so he secretly slipped me a hundred yuan.
If you scold him again and hurt him so much, and he just doesn't care about you, I wonder what else you can do?" What does it mean to hurt your heart? This is it.
