The room was quiet for a while, and then Gong Jian's mother slowly said: "Jian'er, is everything you said true?"
Gong Jian nodded seriously, "Yes, mother, the rabbit I picked up just now was the one I killed with stones."
He waited for a while, looked at his parents, and after finally digesting the information, he continued: "I see there are a lot of prey on the mountain. I want to go there more, and I guess I can catch other prey.
"
When his mother heard what he said, she hurriedly stopped her: "No, you can't go. There are ferocious beasts in that mountain and it's very dangerous."
Gong Jian didn't want his mother to worry, so he quickly explained: "Mom, don't worry. I'm not going to the mountains. I'm just wandering around. Today I went to collect firewood, and I didn't go far in when I saw the rabbit. I guess
, there are a lot of prey in the mountains. I promise. I won’t go into the mountains, mother, don’t worry.”
Gong Jian's mother wanted to persuade her again, but she was stopped by her husband who was lying on the bed. "If Gong Jian wants to go, let him do it. He is measured. Look at what he is doing now.
It’s becoming more and more reliable.”
Gong Jian's father knew that there were indeed ferocious beasts in the mountains, but not many. There had been a family of hunters in Chenjia Village before. That family made their fortune by hunting, and finally moved to the city. There were not no people in Chenjia Village, either.
I followed his family's approach, but my skills were not perfect. I went into the mountains several times and came back empty-handed, so gradually no one went into the mountains to hunt anymore.
My eldest son also said that today he killed a rabbit with just a stone. If he has this talent, then this is a good method. My body has indeed dragged down the family a lot. The last acre of land in my family
, and in the spring of this year, because his condition worsened, he also sold it.
Now the family relies entirely on my eldest son. Since he now has the idea of supporting the family, all he can do now is to fully support him.
Seeing that her husband had agreed, Gong Jian's mother opened her mouth but did not express any objection.
Seeing that his parents had agreed, Gong Jian continued: "One more thing, I asked my younger sister to call my second brother back. I want my second brother to come with me and set some traps at the foot of the mountain. In this way, we can also be more
Capture prey easily."
"Trap? What is that? Can it be used for hunting?" Gong Jian's mother didn't care. Gong Jian said that she must have felt sorry for her youngest son when she called him back. She just heard her eldest son say a strange thing.
She didn't understand the words.
Gong Jian was also stunned. He looked to the side and looked at his father with the same confused eyes. It seemed that his parents didn't know how to use traps for hunting.
He searched in his mind, and it seemed that in his memory, he had indeed never heard of anyone using traps to hunt. Hey, how did he know how to use traps?
Gong Jian frowned and thought carefully. He didn't know why there was always a place in his head that seemed confused, but he soon found it and explained it to himself and his family, "Oh, I saw it in a book. It's just that
I don’t remember which book it is from, but it was introduced above and this method of hunting is very convenient.”
As he spoke, he briefly introduced several simple trap setting methods. Gong Jian's parents somewhat understood after hearing his explanation.
Indeed, as Gong Jian said, there is no danger in hunting using this method. Moreover, the trap is there, and as long as it is not destroyed, prey will come to you at any time. It is really a good way to save time and effort.
Gong Jian's father sat up excitedly: "Okay, let me just say that it is beneficial for children to study. You see, you know more. With this method, your mother can feel more at ease."
Seeing that his parents' work had been completed, Gong Jian immediately stood up and said, "Mom and dad, you guys rest first, I'll go take care of the rabbit."
His mother hurriedly grabbed him and prevented him from going out: "You don't need to clean up, I will just go and deal with it."
How could Gong Jian let his mother, who had worked hard all day, do this thing again? Of course he would have to compete with him to do it. Just when the two were refusing to give in, Gong Yue's cheerful voice suddenly came to his ears: "Dad
,Mom, eldest brother, I brought my second brother back."
Gong Jian hurriedly walked out of the house and came to the courtyard. He saw his younger brothers and sisters looking at him with smiles. "Brother." His honest and honest second brother spoke first. The fourteen-year-old boy was a little thin. He was originally a little dark.
The skin was now completely dark from the sun.
Gong Jian walked forward distressedly and patted the thin shoulder: "Second brother, just come back."
Next to her, Gongyue had already begun to deal with the rabbit: "Second brother, there is rabbit meat to eat tonight. Landlord Chen is really evil. I asked my second brother to go home, but they still refused to let me go. In the end, I said no in one breath.
When you're done, grab the second brother and leave."
The dark-skinned young man smiled innocently, revealing his snow-white teeth. Turning his head, he looked at Gong Jian with admiration: "Brother, I heard Xiaoyue say that you hit this rabbit, you are really
It’s amazing.”
Gong Jian patted him on the shoulder: "Brother, there are other ways to catch rabbits, and I will teach you later. From now on, there will be meat at home."
When Gong Yu heard what his elder brother said, he was even more excited. "That's great, elder brother. I will hunt with you from now on."
On the way back, his sister told him that his eldest brother would not let him work at Landlord Chen's house anymore. That family was really evil. They treated a half-year-old child like an adult, but the wages they paid him were
half of.
Today, my little sister called me home early. The family even deducted my salary for various reasons, and in the end they only got ten yuan.
Gong Yu is just honest and honest, he is not stupid. Of course he can clearly distinguish what is better for the family. If he had not refused to take a child of his own age before, he would not have gone there. That black man
The worried landlord Chen took care of the work.
At this time, their mother also walked out of the house. Seeing her second son, she was very distressed. She hurriedly called Gong Yu over and asked carefully about his life these days.
Gong Jian turned around and found that his little sister Gong Yue had completely peeled off the skin of the rabbit and was cleaning the rabbit's internal organs. This little girl was smart and could do things quickly and well.
He couldn't help feeling in his heart that his younger brothers and sisters were all so capable, and he would have to work harder in the future. In order for them to live a good life, he had to cure his father's illness and make his mother stop working so hard. (Unfinished)
