"How can a grandmother fight with her grandson for food like this?" Yi Zhonghai shook his head and said, "Zhu Zi, come here and have a drink with me. I'm exhausted from what happened today."

Yi Zhonghai also had a follower at home. At this moment, garlic and peanuts were placed on the table, and Sha Zhu and Yi Zhonghai began to drink.

"Zhu Zi, do you want to marry Qin Huairu?" Yi Zhonghai asked. At this time, Sha Zhu and Yi Zhonghai had just drunk a glass of wine.

"No, how can I marry a widow?" Sha Zhu shook his head quickly, "I want to marry a virgin girl, and she has to be pretty."

"Are you interested in Li Qingyu from the front yard? It's not like there's no chance. I just wonder what Li Qingyu's temper is like and whether he's filial or not." Yi Zhonghai thought secretly in his heart.

The next morning, Ding Weidong went to the steel mill and taught the guards of the 8th Squadron how to use the T-shaped stick. At nine o'clock, Ding Weidong said hello to Li Huaide, then rode his bike home and picked up Li Qingyu and Xiao Yuer who had already prepared.

"Brother, I want to sit here." Xiao Yuer took a fancy to the position in the cab.

"Tsk tsk, Xiaoyuer, can you drive?" Li Qingyu asked with a smile. She picked up Xiaoyuer and got into the truck.

Ding Weidong drove off and headed straight for Dingjiazhuang.

Dingjiazhuang was still three hours away from the city. At about twelve o'clock, the car drove into Dingjiazhuang at the foot of the mountain.

Xiao Yuer and Li Qingyu were in the carport, without any wind blowing at all. They were wearing plenty of clothes, so they didn't feel cold.

"Brother, are we here?" Xiao Yuer said to Ding Weidong who was pulling open the curtain at the back.

"Yes, we're here." Ding Weidong looked at the sleepy Xiao Yu'er and said, "Did you just wake up?"

"Yeah. My sister is asleep too, you can hit her!" Xiao Yuer said with a smile.

Ding Weidong picked up Xiao Yuer and put him on the ground, and carefully helped Li Qingyu get out of the car. At this time, at the entrance of Dingjiazhuang Village.

There are about thirty households in Dingjiazhuang, most of which live in thatched houses, scattered on the hillside with large intervals between them.

Ding Weidong parked his car at a house at the entrance of the village. This family has three thatched houses and a small courtyard. From the thatched houses, it can be seen that they have just been cleaned up, and there is no snow on the roof.

The heavy snow before the New Year has made everything white, especially in the countryside, where snow can be seen everywhere.

"Brother Dong, the snow on our roof has been cleaned up by my uncle and second uncle's families." Li Qingyu said happily.

This small courtyard was Ding Weidong's home in the past. When Ding Weidong took Li Qingyu and Xiao Yuer away last time, he asked his uncles to clean up the house and of course left some money.

"Go home!" Ding Weidong said, "It's too cold today, few people in the village come out."

There were no people in the village, but smoke was coming out of the chimneys of the houses. Needless to say, everyone was staying at home to eat lunch.

I used to only eat two meals a day, but now life is better, I have started to eat three meals a day.

Ding Weidong used the key to open the gate and pushed the tricycle in. Xiao Yuer ran happily in the yard. Returning to a familiar place, Xiao Yuer felt like returning to his own home.

No, to Xiaoyuer, this is home.

Opening the main door, the things inside are very simple, an old eight-person table and four benches beside it.

Apart from that, there was nothing else in the room. The east room was a bedroom with a kang, a box and a worn-out desk.

The kang was tidy. Li Qingyu brought in two quilts and a blanket and spread them on the kang.

There was only an old bed with one leg broken in the west room.

"Brother Dong, I'm going to cook." Li Qingyu said to Ding Weidong who came in holding two radios.

"Well, I brought in all the seasonings and vegetables from the car." Ding Weidong said, "I just sent them to the kitchen. The kitchen is quite clean. It must have been cleaned by Aunt and Second Aunt before the New Year."

There are two rooms in the east wing. One is for storing sundries and has a lot of firewood. The other is the kitchen, which has two pots for burning grass.

Ding Weidong had just brought in two large fish, five or six catties of pork, some salted duck eggs and peanuts. As for rice and flour, there were about ten catties each.

"I helped my sister light the fire. But there were no sweet potatoes to roast." Xiao Yuer said with some regret. Ding Weidong rubbed Xiao Yuer's head. He planned to go up the mountain after lunch.

"Hey, Weidong, you guys are back?"

A man in his fifties appeared at the door and looked at Ding Weidong and the other two with surprise on his face.

"Uncle, we're back." Ding Weidong quickly put down the things in his hands and said, "Come in and have a cup of tea... Forget it, we just boiled the water, we have to wait a while."

"Weidong...how are you doing in Sijiu City? Your second uncle and I are planning to go visit you in a couple of days." Ding Wenshan said excitedly, "But looking at the clothes you are wearing, I know you must be doing well."

"Yeah, not bad. Uncle, let's have lunch together later..." Ding Weidong said.

"No, no. We've already had lunch." Ding Wenshan said hurriedly, "You still have to clean up the house, so I won't disturb you..."

"Okay, I'll invite you and Uncle Er to come over for dinner tonight." Ding Weidong said. "Uncle, where's Xiao Yingzi? I want to play with her." Xiao Yuer ran over.

"Xiao Yingzi is at home. It's too cold so she didn't come out. Ask your sister-in-law to bring her over to play later." Ding Wenshan said, "Then I'll leave first!"

Xiao Yingzi is Ding Wenshan's granddaughter.

After Ding Wenshan left, Ding Weidong went into the bedroom and lit a fire on the kang. This would keep him warmer. They would eat on the kang later.

For lunch, Li Qingyu, who was very skillful, rolled out the noodles quickly. She just mixed the meat sauce she brought back and it was ready to eat.

After finishing his meal, Ding Weidong took out a long cloth bag from the beam. When he opened it, he found a water-linked ** and **.

Ding Weidong maintained the gun on the kang. Almost every family has this kind of thing. Before liberation, defeated soldiers passed through the village and left many guns behind in exchange for food and money before running away.

Many families in other villages also have guns, but none of them have as many as those in Dingjia Village. Ding Weidong's gun was left by his father.

Dingjia Village is located at the foot of a hill, and wild boars used to come and destroy crops. But later, every household had a gun, and wild boars became a regular occurrence.

After the liberation, guns were not banned, so these guns were still scattered among families. In their spare time, people could go into the mountains to hunt and supplement their family income.

But after three years of disaster, fewer people went into the mountains, because the wild animals in the mountains had been hunted almost completely. As for going deep into the mountains, they did not want to go through the trouble.

Only experienced hunters can go into the mountains, and even if they go in, they may not be able to come back safely.

Because at this time, there are many tigers and bears in the mountains, not to mention wild boars, and even more dangerous wolves and leopards.

Watching Ding Weidong assemble the gun and fill it with **. Although knowing that Ding Weidong is good at fighting, Li Qingyu still said worriedly: "Brother Dong, just walk around nearby, don't go into the mountains."

"The mountains are blocked by heavy snow now. The wild boars, wolves and the like are probably starving to death."

"Qingyu, don't worry. I still have some sense of propriety." Ding Weidong said with a smile: "Don't go out casually at home. This ** is for you."

Ding Weidong pulled out his service gun and placed it on the table. Li Qingyu sighed and could only watch Ding Weidong leave with the gun on his back.

"Brother, catch some pheasants. I want to eat pig stomach." Xiao Yu'er also warned him. Li Qingyu was so angry that he grabbed Xiao Yu'er's pigtail.

"Okay, I'll make sure you eat pork belly and chicken tonight." Ding Weidong said with a smile.

Ding Weidong was lucky. Within half an hour after entering the mountain, he had shot more than a dozen pheasants and hares with his slingshot. Of course, Ding Weidong walked very fast, and the snow could not stop him at all.

In half an hour he climbed over two hills.

"Tsk tsk, I guess no one goes into the mountains on a snowy day. These wild boars actually ran here." Ding Weidong muttered to himself, "I'm lucky."

In a valley not far away, six wild boars were digging in the snow, looking for grass roots or something like that.

Ding Weidong quickly fired five shots, knocking down two large wild boars weighing two hundred to three hundred kilograms, and three small wild boars weighing thirty to forty kilograms.

By the time the ** was reinstalled, the remaining little wild boar had already run away.

Ding Weidong chopped some wood and made a simple sled. He put the two big wild boars on it. As for the three small wild boars, he put them in the storage space.

On the way back, they hunted two more sika deer, which made Ding Weidong very happy.

The two wild boars bled on the spot. But he felt bad for wasting the blood of the sika deer. Many people like this thing.

The two sika deer were put into the storage space, and the deer blood went into the two jars. As for the deer heart blood, it remained in the deer's heart.

As Ding Weidong walked through the village on his way home, he met many people and greeted them one by one.

The eldest uncle Ding Wenshan and the second uncle Ding Wenhai called for help and took the sled from Ding Weidong. They walked towards the village head while complaining to Ding Weidong.

"Weidong, you dare to go into the mountain when it's snowing so hard?" Ding Wenshan complained, "It's very dangerous, don't you know?"

"It's okay, I didn't go into the mountains, and that's how I encountered this wild boar." Ding Weidong said with a smile.

"Weidong's shooting skills are amazing. He shot the enemy in the eye. He was knocked down with one shot." Ding Huaren praised, "He is worthy of being a soldier and a meritorious serviceman!"

Ding Huaren is Ding Weidong's distant cousin, but Ding Weidong didn't name him according to his birth order.

Ding Huaren is the village militia captain.

"Third brother, go find Uncle Wu and ask him to come and kill the two pigs." Ding Weidong said with a smile, "I'll take one away, and the other one will be distributed to each household."

"Don't make any pig-killing dishes. Each family can take it home and cook it themselves."

"Okay, no problem. Don't worry." Ding Huaren said excitedly, "It will be done for you soon."

Ding Weidong smiled and nodded, then returned to his home with Ding Wenshan and Ding Wenhai.

Seeing Ding Weidong carrying a lot of pheasants and rabbits in, Li Qingyu felt relieved. "Brother, there is no big pig? How to make pig stomach chicken?" Xiao Yuer said a little disappointedly.
