In April and May, the wind blows and the sun shines brightly. The world is a scene of revival and vitality. Birds and beasts have come out of their nests and are galloping around the vast land, either looking for food or looking for mates. What a beautiful picture. Anyone who looks at it will feel relaxed, comfortable, and comfortable, and want to live a carefree life in it.
Facing the spring breeze, stepping on the earth and admiring the people and beautiful scenery around them, a few people carried buckets, nets and fishing rods to an unknown small river in the north of the city.
Liu Guangqi let them fish first, while he hid in a small forest nearby. After wandering around for a while, Liu Guangqi directly took out a rabbit from the space to serve as his prey.
This rabbit was the same hares that Liu Guangqi caught in the space. In order to get some food for these guys in the middle of winter, Liu Guangqi took great pains. He ate a lot of cabbage alone, which made Liu Guangqi feel a little distressed.
Fortunately, it didn't take long for the weather to get warmer, the warblers flew and the grass grew, and the rabbits had more to eat. A little bit of grass was enough for them to eat.
"Guangqi, you are really amazing. In just a short time, you caught a rabbit. It's really amazing. If I had your ability, I would go out to hunt rabbits every day and then go back to eat them. This would save my dad every day. Those who are so busy don’t even want to eat meat.”
Yan Jiecheng looked at Liu Guangqi carrying the rabbit with envy.
"Don't blame your dad. It's not easy for your dad. With a salary of more than 300,000 yuan, it's enough to feed your family of six. How can you do it without being careful about your budget? Do you think he, an intellectual, is willing to spend all day with these things?" Dealing with trivial matters, doesn't he want to recite poems, argue with his colleagues, and talk about romance? It's not like life forces him to do it. I just saw a few pheasants. I'll go hunt one in a while. You can take it with you when you go back. , give the third aunt a supplement."
Liu Guangqi said a fair word for the third uncle. It is difficult enough for Lao Liu to support their family with more than 400,000 yuan a month, let alone the third uncle who has to support an additional person, even though it is just a baby, with more than 300,000 yuan a month.
Ever since he moved to the courtyard, Liu Guangqi had never seen Yan Jiecheng's family eat fine grains, all corn stubble, not even bean noodles.
Some people may say that if you can’t afford it, don’t have children. People who say this don’t understand this era at all. There are no lights at night these days. What else can you do for entertainment besides creating people? But this is it. At that time, there were no family planning supplies. What was available was scarce. Who would use it and who could afford it? After a long time.
Even if you miss nine times out of ten, one hit is enough for this kind of thing. If you get pregnant, you can decide whether to have a baby or not. The risk of abortion is about the same as the risk of giving birth, let alone for people these days. It also emphasizes having many children and bringing happiness.
"What did you say?"
Yan Jiecheng was stunned when he heard Liu Guangqi's words and asked stupidly.
"I said I would shoot a pheasant for you and bring it back later to help your mother recuperate."
Liu Guangqi looked at Yan Jiecheng in disbelief and repeated what he had just said.
"Are you telling the truth? Brother Guangqi."
At this moment, Yan Jie felt as if he had been hit by a pie in the sky, and his whole body fell into ecstasy.
"Of course it's true. Why did I lie to you? I'll see if I can get some milk powder for Jie Di from the Bai family. This may cost some money. You can tell the third uncle later."
"Yeah, I know, I'll tell you when I get back."
Yan Jiecheng nodded his head wildly after hearing this.
It's not that Liu Guangqi wants to be a bad person, but Yan Jiedi's crying is really heartbreaking. After eating the eggs sent by the hospital, the third aunt's nutrition can't keep up. It's only been more than three months since she ran out of milk. The little guy every At night, he was so hungry that he could be heard screaming by Liu Guangqi from across the courtyard. Sometimes, when the voice suddenly became quieter, his heart suddenly twitched.
Anyway, there is still a lot of milk powder in his space warehouse, so it is not a troublesome thing to get them some milk powder in the name of the Bai family. Although he is not a good person, he is not a cold-blooded animal, but he cannot be hard-hearted and watch Yan Jiedi starve to death.
"Guangqi, shoot one for me and let me take it back."
"Yes, get me one too"
Wu Yuan and Xu Damao on the side gathered around when they heard about this good thing.
"Go, go, why are you two joining in the fun? You two have a baby, and they say there are more people than the third uncle's family. I'll get one for you each. You two treat pheasants and rabbits as grass on the ground. I just pick up a few handfuls and it’s ready.”
When Xu Damao and Wu Yuan heard what Liu Guangqi said, they immediately turned into red faces. The conditions of his family were much better than those of the third uncle's family. One was an only child, and the other's sisters were married, so they were no different from the only child.
"Zhuzi, it's time to show off your skills. I'll leave this rabbit to you today. Whether it tastes good or not depends on your ability. If it doesn't taste good, don't say you are a cook when you go out in the future. "
After dismissing the two people who were joining in the fun, Liu Guangqi shouted to Silly Zhu who was fishing.
"Guangqi, you think so highly of me. What do you want me to do if I don't have anything? Isn't it difficult for a clever woman to make a meal without rice?"
Silly Zhu patted his butt, walked over and looked at the fat and big rabbit in Liu Guangqi's hand and smiled bitterly.
"Silly Zhu, stop making excuses. If you're not good at craftsmanship, you're not good at it. There are so many things to do."
As a natural enemy, Xu Damao naturally jumped out and ridiculed him when he heard this.
"Sun thief, don't stand and talk without your back hurting. You can do it if you want. If you don't have a pot or a bowl, or rice or salt, what do you want me to do? Do you want to eat it after it's made?"
Silly Zhu didn't tolerate Xu Damao at all, so he directly fought back.
"You can scold me again and try."
"Just try it, Thief Sun, Thief Sun."
"Okay, okay, you two, stop quarreling. I get a headache when I see you two quarreling. You two are the children of a cat and a dog. You grin when you see each other."
Liu Guangqi stood between the two, preventing them from starting a fight. Looking at Silly Zhu, he said.
"I brought the things"
As he spoke, Liu Guangqi took out a bunch of small bottles from his bag, which contained various seasonings and soy sauce cooking wine.
"Hey, you brought a bottle of wine. Where did you get it?"
Xu Damao's eyes lit up when he saw the two big green sticks in Liu Guangqi's bag.
"The eyes are so stupid. Don't worry about where you got it from. Just drink it for a while. Zhuzi, it's okay now."
How can you go out camping without drinking some wine? If you can't drink anything plain, you have to drink some beer.
"Just hold it up. There are so many condiments, and if I don't do it right, I'll just kill myself with a piece of tofu."
Looking at the pile of large and small bottles in front of him, Silly Zhu, who was ready to show off his skills, carried the rabbit to skin it.
While Silly Zhu was working on the rabbit, Liu Guangqi came to the waterside with the fishing rod. The fishing rod belonged to Liu Guangqi's grandfather. It was made of bamboo and was strong. At least in this era, it was not so obtrusive.
Looking at the seven or eight meter wide river in front of him, Liu Guangqi didn't know what fish were in it. He took out his father's secret bait and hung it on the hook. Liu Guangqi leaned on the small mound of soil next to him and felt comfortable. Wait for the fish to bite.
Not to mention that this state is really good. There was no PM2.5 in the suburbs of BJ in the 1950s. The air was so fresh. When the sun was shining, the beautiful Liu Guangqi just wanted to sleep.
"Hey, Guangqi, why is your fish float different from ours? How did you make that one?"
"I made it myself. I found a sorghum stalk to cut, glued it on, and then put it on a bamboo skewer."
In this era, you can't bring out anything that is even advanced. As soon as it is brought out, those guys who have never seen anything new will crowd around and ask endless questions.
Even fish floats are no exception. The fish floats of this era were either goose feather floats or centipede floats. Goose feather floats are easy to understand. They just take a goose feather and trim it off. Centipede floats actually just find a thread and then some. Put the straw two or three centimeters apart and put it together, and it will look like a centipede when it comes out. When a fish bites the hook, you can judge whether a fish has taken the bait by how much the straw sinks.
"What you did is really beautiful. You can make one for me later."
Xu Damao looked at Liu Guangqi and said with envy.
"Are your skills good enough? Look at Guang Qiguang and the fish was hooked as soon as he sat down. Look at you sitting here for a long time and you didn't even catch a hair."
As he spoke, Liu Guangqi's float suddenly sank. Liu Guangqi immediately sat up straight and lifted up the fishing rod. Silly Zhu, who was washing rabbits, saw this and immediately mocked.
