Siheyuan: Buyers get rich from hunting

Qinjia Village has never been so lively except during the Chinese New Year.

Every household lined up happily in front of the Liu family's door to receive the bear meat. Those who got the meat said good things and praised the Liu family in various ways.

Adults praise adults, and children praise children.

The Liu family's several children, including Xiaoxia and Xiaoyan, were so happy that their jaws were raised.

Especially Lele, who is surrounded by a group of children at such a young age. If she had a tail, it would have flown up to the sky long ago.

Therefore, the Liu family members, who were originally a little distressed, did not think about these things at this time, but instead felt that this was how it should be.

Even the grandmother, who seemed distressed, was smiling very brightly at this moment.

The meat was distributed very quickly, and every household hurried back home after getting the meat.

These days, most people don’t have refrigerators, and there are no ice cellars in rural areas. In order to prevent food from expiring and becoming moldy, they have to hurry to pickle and dehydrate food.

Of course, they could still have fresh meat tonight.

As for the claim that eating wild animals can easily cause unknown viruses to damage one's health, Liu Ping'an finds it outrageous.

Before the breeding industry became completely industrialized, how many people had not eaten wild game?

Not to mention the current situation.

After everyone else left, the Liu family members carried the remaining meat to the main room in high spirits, ready to distribute the remaining bear meat.

During the move, the grandmother was afraid that her daughter-in-law and children would not understand, so she explained:

"When the Liu family moved here, they settled down with the help of the Qinjia Villagers. Later, when the old man and the boys got sick, the money they borrowed was also paid by the Qinjia Villagers. Even the widow at the head of the village gave out her savings."

When talking about this matter, grandma was very emotional, and even grandpa smoked his pipe in silence.

"We are a poor family. Although we have used all the money we saved over the years to pay off our debts, we still haven't repaid the debt of gratitude for saving our lives. So when we work, the old man always tells us to use all our strength."

As she said that, grandma looked at my third uncle Liu Jianping, who lowered his head in embarrassment.

"So when I see that Ping An can benefit the villagers, I feel happy from the bottom of my heart."

When the elderly recall the past, tears flow freely.

But after crying for a while, grandma looked at Liu Ping'an proudly again: "We are so grateful to have such a promising grandson like Ping'an. Even if we die now, we will be worthy of our ancestors."

Liu Pingan was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly spoke to comfort them: "Grandpa and grandma, what do you mean by death? We are all in good health and will definitely live a long life."

Liu Ping'an was not joking when he said this.

Unless there are accidents, the people in the Liu family drink spiritual spring water every day, so it is hard for their bodies not to be strong.

"I'm just saying, kid..."

Grandma patted Liu Ping'an's hand and said seriously, "Ping'an hunted this bear. It's his business how to distribute it. You guys should stay out of it."

Grandma was just saying it first, and everyone else nodded in agreement when they heard it.

Since grandma said so, Liu Ping'an couldn't remain silent.

"We will distribute 200 kilograms of meat and some internal organs and bones to the villagers. We still have more than 150 kilograms of meat and heart and intestines left. I plan to take 100 kilograms of meat back with me and keep the rest of the heart and intestines. I will mainly send the meat to the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill. With these 100 kilograms of meat, I think I will at least get a commendation and possibly a promotion."

Hearing this, everyone else's eyes brightened.

In this day and age, is there anything more important than workers getting promoted?

So everyone was very happy to hear this, and Grandpa waved his hand and said, "Then take them all back!"

"no, I'm fine……"

Liu Ping'an hurriedly stopped his grandfather to prevent him from asking him to take everything else back.

"100 kilograms is enough. 50 kilograms more is useless. Let's keep these 50 kilograms at home. We'll also find a way to deal with the hearts and intestines. Grandma will try to pickle them in the next few days."

“I pickled 50 kilograms of meat in just one day.”

Grandma felt that her grandson looked down on her. He said it would only take a few days. She could finish pickling the food in one day.

"We still have some bones, we can use them to make soup."

The bear had a lot of bones. When they were dividing the meat, Liu Ping'an also asked them to separate the bones so that everyone could drink the bone soup.

Originally, bones can be used to make soap.

But Liu Ping'an thought it was too troublesome, and since he couldn't do business these days, he was too lazy to get the other ingredients.

“Don’t worry, grandma’s skills are still unclear.”

After the meat was distributed, everyone was very happy, especially the three little ones. Knowing that they would eat bear meat tonight, they were so happy that they turned into Sun Wukong and jumped around in the yard.

However, Liu Ping'an suddenly saw his third aunt standing at the door, looking a little embarrassed.

I reacted immediately.

By the way, there is also the mother’s family of the eldest and third aunts.

Apart from the money the Liu family had when they first started renovating the house, they later borrowed money when he fell ill and worked to pay it back after he recovered. So they haven't saved any money over the years.

The eldest aunt, the third aunt, and even Ping'an's mother had little dowry when they got married.

No betrothal gifts were collected.

Because their families are poorer, marrying one of them will make life better for the family.

Therefore, there is nothing dirty between the Liu family and these women's families, mainly because there are no issues of interest.

Moreover, these three families are all native farmers. They are simple-minded and just like Ping An's grandfather, they are quiet and hardworking.

The people are really nice.

During the years when Liu Ping'an was studying in junior college, his mother's family members all gave him help to varying degrees. As for Liu Ping'an's grandfather, he even tightened his belt to help him.

The situation has been bad in the past three years, and the three daughters-in-law in the family rarely return to their parents' home.

Now that they are better off, they also want to let their families see how they are living and help them.

Liu Ping'an slapped his head and realized that he was so careless in doing things.

He even forgot about his own grandparents' house.

Oh, by the way, there is also my aunt’s house.

Liu Ping'an hurriedly called his grandmother over and told her about what had happened.

At first, grandma was a little unhappy, but when she heard Liu Ping'an mentioned her aunt, she was very pleased and called her three daughters-in-law over.

"Ping An is kind-hearted. Your family members haven't had a good time lately."

When they heard the beginning, the three of them showed joy on their faces, even Ping'an's mother Zhang Guifang was very happy.

What made her happy was that her son had good conduct.

It’s the credit of my own education!

"So I plan to give you some meat to take back, as a way of thanking your maternal family. You can visit more often in the future. After all, none of your maternal families have any bad guys. Only Xiaofang's family has a weird brother."

"But in this weather, I'm afraid your family won't be able to eat fresh meat."

"It's okay, mom. Having meat to eat is a great surprise. How can I be picky?"

When Zhang Guifang heard Chen Lan talking about her brother, she also felt ashamed and quickly spoke up to echo Chen Lan's words.

Uncle Ping'an is well-known for his eccentricity.

But it's not a big deal. He's not a bad person, he just does things in a muddle-headed way.

"Well, we will pickle them together in the next few days, and then air dry them. In two days, the work in the field will be finished. Then you can let your husband and children go back with you, and it will be a good opportunity to visit your family."

"As for how much..."

Grandma turned her attention to Liu Ping'an, who waved his hand and said, "Five kilograms for each family, plus aunt's, a total of 5 kilograms."

After hearing this, even Zhang Guifang, who wanted to take the meat back home, felt distressed.

"Why bring so much? Just let them have a taste."

Grandma patted Liu Ping'an's hand and asked him to take back his words. Even Auntie and Auntie felt that it was too much and nodded repeatedly.

Liu Ping'an was really at a loss as to why the whole family became so anxious about meat.

This is also his way of thinking.

In this day and age, eating meat is a big deal.

It can even be compared to marrying a wife.

In the past, pork cost 8 cents per pound, and you needed a meat ticket. Now the price has skyrocketed, and there is no demand for it.

Apart from the city, where can you eat meat in any nearby village?

"It's okay grandma, I'll be back tomorrow after I go back and bring you more delicious food."

"Go back tomorrow!"

Grandma was a little reluctant and didn't even care about the meat.

But when she thought about her grandson's future, she had no choice but to nod.

"Okay, can you carry so many things? Do you want your uncle to carry you?"

"No need, grandma. It's only 100 kilograms of meat. I can just carry the bag and leave."

People these days have extremely good physical fitness and can easily walk for seven or eight hours.

If you look at the future, you will be exhausted after walking for an hour.

I don’t know why the better I eat, the worse my physical fitness is than people today.

Besides, with the nourishment of the spiritual spring, Liu Ping'an's physical fitness has reached a new level and is no longer the same as before.

After discussing the matter of going back to her parents' home, the women in the family, including Xiaoxia, Xiaoyan and Lele, happily went into the kitchen and began to prepare dinner for tonight.

And grandpa happily took out the wine he had "finished" from the house.

The three brothers almost got angry.

"Dad, is this wine bottle of yours a god's cornucopia? How come it's here again?"

Liu Jianping was the bravest one. He felt uncomfortable when he didn't get a drink last time. When he saw his father take out another bottle of wine, he was so anxious that he kept mumbling.

"What do you know, kid? I divided this wine into several bottles. The last bottle was gone."

"What about this bottle?"

"You little brat, you are not active in your work, but you are the first one to enjoy eating, drinking and having fun. Don't worry, you will have a chance to drink tonight."

Grandpa was also very angry, his beard was puffing up with anger, and he knocked Liu Jianping on the head in annoyance.
