The Siheyuan of the Young Educated Youth

Yu Qihong whispered, "I heard something recently, I wonder if it's true?"

Xu Xiaoping smiled and said, "What's the good news? Why are you being so secretive?"

Is it about recruiting? I haven't heard dad mention it! What good news?

Yu Qihong, "I heard your sister is doing well in Northeast China!"

Not averagely good.

Qi Guoliang smiled, his sister was living a good life.

Xu Xiaoping, "You heard about this? This is amazing!"

When I came back, I bought two boxes of malted milk and two boxes of canned food. I have promoted this to so many people!

Yu Qihong was happy when he heard this, that’s a possibility!

"I heard that she can not only run in the mountains, but also hunt wild boars. That's amazing!" Is this true?

Xu Xiaoping turned to look at Qi Guoliang and asked, "Do you know about this?"

Qi Guoliang was at a loss, he knew nothing about his sister in the mountains!

Yu Qihong saw that the two looked unhappy.

"You don't know, do you? I heard that we killed dozens of wild boars last winter! The whole village ate the meat. Didn't they send it back to you?"

This is really strange. He didn't give it to his family, but gave it all to outsiders? Or did he send too little?

Xu Xiaoping's face turned pale when he heard this!

What is this? Pork is such a scarce commodity, and outsiders don’t even give it to their family members. What the hell!? No wonder my mother-in-law doesn’t like it.

Qi Guoliang, "Isn't it possible?"

She is not that kind of person, she will definitely think about her family.

Yu Qihong touched his nose, wondering if he was too rash.

"Well, I just heard about it, I'm not sure. Last year I gave my sister a basket of mountain reds, so I thought..."

The more he tried to find compensation, the more things seemed to be wrong. Xu Xiaoping's face looked so gloomy that it looked like it could rain. Could it be that the Shanlihong was not given to his family? Did she not bring it home when she came back?

Yu Qihong's brain, dominated by "pork", was a little confused. He just wanted to ask Qi Guoliang for help to buy some meat. He was really not the kind of person who would spread gossip.

"Well, if ~ if it's convenient, if by some chance, their team has people hunting, can they give some meat to my family?"

Yu Qihong still stubbornly explained her purpose. The mess had already been made, and she had to express the important things.

Xu Xiaoping said calmly, "Okay, if I can get it this year, I will definitely give it to you, don't worry!"

She must not let outsiders know that her family did not have meat to eat. If they knew, they would think she was ignorant, and if they didn't know, they would think that she was disliked by her sister-in-law!

Qi Guoliang wanted to say, how could his sister hunt? Looking at his wife's gloomy face, he didn't dare to say anything. Whatever he said now would be "quibbling".

Xu Xiaoping walked towards the factory with a gloomy face. The more he thought about it, the more upset he felt. But he didn't want to lose his temper in front of the factory gate.

Qi Guoliang followed behind, pushing his bicycle two steps behind.

Until after get off work in the evening, when Qi Guoliang went to pick up Xu Xiaoping to go home together, Xu Xiaoping's face was not looking good.

After entering the house, he said, "Come in."

I've been patient for the whole afternoon, now I need to talk about this matter.

When the two entered the house, Chen Cuiying heard the noise in the kitchen and stuck her head out to shout,

"Guoliang, I made some dumplings for your wife. Come and serve them to her."

Qi Guoliang entered the kitchen and took the plate of dumplings from his mother.

Chen Cuiying warned, "She's pregnant, don't try to grab some food from her."

Qi Guoliang, when has he ever argued with his wife?

"White flour dumplings! What's the filling?"

It would be better if it was filled with meat. Maybe it would help my wife calm down.

Chen Cuiying, "The chives and eggs. The chives this morning were tender, so I beat an egg and added some dried shrimps. It was so fresh and bright!

Bring it to your wife quickly, it won’t taste good if it gets cold.”

Qi Guoliang carried the dumplings back to the house. The filling of the dumplings was not bad, and it made him greedy just by smelling it.

"Wife, look, mom made this especially for you, and even put shrimp crackers in it."

Aren’t seaweed, shrimp chips and the like your favorite?

Xu Xiaoping was indeed hungry.

Chive, egg and white flour dumplings are only eaten during Chinese New Year and other festivals even though her father is a workshop director.

I took the dumpling and put one in my mouth. Hmm, it’s so delicious!

I feel much better.

"Have you thought about what to do?"

Qi Guoliang, what can I do? I can't tell my family about this. If his mother knew about it, she would scold his sister to death!

Discuss with my wife quietly,

"Let's just pretend this never happened, okay?"

Xu Xiaoping looked at him with a look that said, "I know you're a loser," and lowered his voice and said,

"What do you mean you just pretend nothing happened? That's meat! Are you stupid?"

Qi Guoliang, even though he knew it was meat, he couldn't try to snatch it back. Besides, that was all last year.

"Fei Fei and I grew up together. She has hunted before. Even if she had meat, she probably relied on others."

Xu Xiaoping ate his dumplings and glared at him.

"You are a deadbeat. You are just borrowing the light. She also has a share of the meat! Go write a letter to her."

Qi Guoliang, "I can't get over it, how can I tell her?"

The meat was delicious, but it took courage to open your mouth and eat it. He was not so shameless.

Xu Xiaoping, "After dinner, I'll tell you to write."

Really, I can’t even do such a small thing.

She had been thinking about it for the entire afternoon and this thing had to be done.

I am pregnant, which is the time when I need nutrition.

If there are a lot of things, you can take some back to your parents' home.

Why didn't she think about it before? There are so many mountain products in the mountains! Mushrooms, black fungus, hazelnuts, walnuts...

Shanlihong, wow, just thinking about it makes it taste so good!

Qi Guoliang looked embarrassed. He couldn't put pen to paper at all!

Xu Xiaoping stuffed the last dumpling into his mouth.

"Don't worry, I won't make things difficult for you."

Qi Guoliang felt relieved.

--------

Early in the morning, the riverside was quiet and there was a chill in the air.

The surrounding trees are already colorful, reflected in the clear river water, shimmering with the waves.

Qi Feifei and Huo Sheng hid in the willow trees beside the meadow. They were wearing leather jackets and leather pants, and it was still a little cold.

After the morning glow faded, the bright sunlight slanted across the meadow.

The wild boars came to drink water again.

This time they didn't rush down all at once, but a big bubble of eggs moved slowly down first, with white foam dripping from its mouth and it looked around in circles with its little eyes wide open.

Seeing that there was no movement, he went to drink water, and half of his body fell into the river.

Then two big sows came out, twisting and shaking their buttocks.

As soon as they showed their heads, the smaller ones behind them swarmed towards the river.

For a while, the place where animals often drink water was filled with wild boars. They drank and rubbed the water, stirring up the mud underneath.

They also ran among the surrounding grass and bushes, scaring the nearby wild ducks, which flew away in panic.

Qi Feifei and Huo Sheng saw that the wild boars had all come down, and they both opened fire at the same time.

This time I won't fight the little yellow-haired guy alone, but let the big tiger eat me, and it's still the big one that has to carry it.

When the gun sounded, wild ducks flew away and wild boars ran around, but no matter how fast they ran, they were not faster than the bullet.

After a while, the whole family, young and old, were gathered here.
