"You're right, you heard me right. My cousin likes to eat pig head meat. Every year when my family invites me to have dinner, I make it to accompany my cousin's wine!" Wang Guihua promised, patting her chest.

Having said that, Lin Qian stopped worrying and spent a dollar to buy a pig head.

"Brother Da Zhuang, you are not being kind. The hair on this pig's head is difficult to clean and there are many bones. No one in the village usually buys it. Why do you have to spend a piece of it!"

"It's Osmanthus Girl!" Zhang Dazhuang originally had a straight face, but when he heard the voice and looked up, he immediately showed a flattering smile, "Look, this pig's head weighs ten kilograms, and it can cut several kilograms of meat! "

I don’t know whether it was because no one wanted it after the sale, or because of Wang Guihua’s sake, Lin Qian bought a pig’s head and put a pig’s tail full of black hair on it.

Zhang Dazhuang, the meat seller, was kind enough to help put it in the small basket he brought over. Judging from his posture, if Wang Guihua asked, he could help deliver it to her home.

Looking at Wang Guihua's taken-for-granted expression, Lin Qian scratched her head. Osmanthus fragrans is only fifteen this year. In modern times, she is just a junior high school student!

After returning to Uncle Wang's house, Aunt Dani looked at the things in the basket and was very happy.

That night they had delicious pork head meat, and I have to say that the homemade sauce here in Northeast China was really delicious.

When the pot was served, Aunt Dani asked Lin Qian to bring a large bowl of meat to the Guihua family.

Wang Guihua's family also had a good meal in the evening, so Lin Qian was stuffed with a bowl of potato braised pheasant and two roasted sweet potatoes.

While eating, Lin Qian met Aunt Dani's two sons. They were both joining the hunting team for the first time, and they devoured their food at the dinner table.

In the end, the pork head meat and two pots of multigrain steamed buns were swept away. After the meal, the two of them were still talking excitedly about hunting these days.

Lin Qian listened with great interest. She heard from them that generally hunters do not act in groups when they go out to hunt for prey. They work in a small team of at most 3-5 people.

The large number of people will definitely scare away the prey, so this time I just took the young people in the village out to see the sights.

When it comes time to actually go hunting in winter, it may take more than half a month for hunters to enter the mountains with dry food. The further they go, the more good things they get, and of course the more dangerous they are.

"My cousin said that my brother and I were brave enough to take us into the mountains in winter!"

"You two little bastards, don't be too jealous. You can't even hear the kind words your cousin says. From now on, you two can only go into the mountains separately, not together!"

"Why? My brother and I work together so well!"

"Just do what your grandpa said! Just ask Hammer!"

"Danniu, take them up the mountain tomorrow to remove the weeds."

The two people who were in high spirits just now stopped talking. Their third uncle was missing when they went hunting in the mountains in winter a few years ago.

The next day the brigade was going to the supply and marketing cooperative to sell wild boars. Lin Qian and Gao Xiaoan also went there, while Maomao was left at home.

For this reason, Lin Qian and Gao Xiaoan coaxed him again and again. Finally, Grandma Wang used straw ropes to weave grasshoppers and other small animals to coax him.

A total of three bullock carts came out of the village, and Uncle Wang was always driving the cart vigorously at the front.

In addition to Lin Qian and Gao Xiao'an, there were also Aunt Dani and three other aunts they didn't know.

Everyone brought big bamboo baskets and went to the county to buy them.

The two cars at the back contained wild boars, some wild animals, and dry goods. Following them was the brigade's finance officer. These were all to be sold to the supply and marketing cooperative in the name of Heilingtun.

When the money comes back from the sale, it will be distributed to individual villagers after financial verification.

Everyone in the car was chatting and secretly asking about Lin Qian and the others. When they heard that Lin Qian and Gao Xiaoan were mother and daughter, the three aunts in the car took a breath.

After a long while, an aunt asked Gao Xiaoan: "Sister, you are a doctor, have you taken any beauty pills?"

Lin Qian snickered on the side, and Gao Xiaoan had to explain that he was not young anymore, mainly because he had less work in the city.

It was already noon when we arrived in the county. Everyone had brought their own dry food. Lin Qian could only follow the crowd and was too embarrassed to go to the state-owned restaurant to open a small stove alone.

The bullock cart stopped not far in front of the county commune. The county town was not big, and hospitals and supply and marketing cooperatives were concentrated together.

After making an appointment to meet in an hour, Uncle Wang drove Gao Xiaoan to the post office and took out their quilts first.

Then they went to the hospital to buy some medicinal materials for Grandma Wang.

Lin Qian followed Aunt Dani to the supply and marketing cooperative, and went straight to Youyanjiangvinegar. Their house there had been tidied up, and she could move in after getting the quilt.

From now on, I will have to cook by myself. I have a kitchen knife, an iron pot, a kettle, and I also bought a hot water kettle, an iron bucket, and a big lock that can lock the house door.

They all brought cups and lunch boxes, and Lin Qian used the tickets to buy some odds and ends for daily necessities.

In the end, I didn’t forget to buy two kilograms of biscuits and one kilogram of sugar, one kilogram each of red dates and twists, and two boxes of clam oil. He always took food from his pocket, and if he didn’t buy it, he would definitely be suspicious!

I decided not to buy food this time. Secretary Wang said that the rain this year was good and the team’s food production was more than in previous years. He could give them dozens of kilograms of fine grains and a bag of coarse grains.

There are few people in the village who eat fine grains, so everyone is more willing to exchange work points for coarse grains, because the more they exchange, the longer they can eat.

Only those who have elderly people and children at home, or have a few extra laborers to work, are willing to trade for a few kilograms of fine grain.

But when Lin Qian walked to the place where food was sold, she still took the ticket and paid for it. She bought two kilograms of glutinous rice and millet each.

In the end, she and Aunt Dani went back and forth several times before moving the tied things to the bullock cart.

An hour later, Uncle Wang drove the bullock cart back. Looking at Gao Xiaoan with a smile on his face and the three large packages in the cart, Lin Qian breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.

After having dinner at Uncle Wang's house in the evening, the two insisted on moving into the house despite his repeated requests to stay.

The reasons are all ready. There is an ox cart, and the luggage can be hauled over and that's it.

Aunt Dani helped them burn the kang and taught them how to choose fire-resistant firewood.

After returning the ox cart, Uncle Daniu went to the foot of the mountain to pick up a few buckets of water and filled up the small water tanks in the firewood house.

After thanking the two of them again and again, Lin Qian and the others watched them go home, then closed the door and locked it.

The small room was filled with their luggage, and three quilt packages were piled in the corner. Lin Qian and Gao Xiaoan were both a little excited.

After coming here for several days since my hometown, everything is finally on track today.

"Sister, are we going to live here from now on?" Maomao shook Lin Qian's hand and asked in a sweet voice.

Lin Qian touched his head and said, "Yes, this will be our home from now on!"

Gao Xiaoan opened the three packages and spread the three quilts on the kang to dry the moisture. They can be covered tonight.

I also took out the cloth inside and put it away. Tomorrow I will give three pieces to Uncle Wang’s family, the secretary’s family and the brigade captain’s family.

If you want to live a stable life here, you must have a good relationship with the people in charge of the village.

"Going tonight?" Gao Xiao'an watched Lin Qian start packing things with a small backpack, and became a little worried: "It's dark and the road is hard to walk, so I'd better go!"

"It's just that the road is difficult, so I have to go. Osmanthus and I have been wandering around the area these days, so I'm quite familiar with the route!" Lin Qian packed up the two sets of black sweaters she bought at Hyundai and packed them again. Some biscuits, brown sugar and red dates to eat.

After everything was packed, Lin Qian said: "Everyone in the village goes to bed early. I'll go there at ten o'clock. Mom, you stay at home and watch Maomao sleep. If someone knocks on the door, just say it's too late and don't open the door."

"I'm watching the time. I will be back before eleven o'clock. Then I will knock on the window three times, and then you will open the door!"

"Okay, then you must be careful on the road!"
