Not long after, the elder brother came back with his sister-in-law and younger sister on a tricycle.
"Dad, isn't this the third grandfather's tricycle?" "In the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the third grandfather shot a black blind man in the mountains and exchanged the bearskin with someone else in the county for a tricycle. After the third grandfather passed away, the tricycle belonged to his cousin's family.
"I bought it from your cousin for 120 yuan. It will be convenient for your elder brother to pick up your sister-in-law and younger sister home."
Su Weiguo looked at the tricycle with a little excitement and nostalgia in his eyes. He recalled the days when he and his third grandfather hunted together and exchanged bear skins for tricycles, and his heart was full of emotion and nostalgia.
"This tricycle can also make our family's life more convenient. It can be used to pull some things or take the children out to play in the future," the father said.
Hearing his father's words, he knew that his father had carefully considered buying the tricycle, and that this decision would help the family live more conveniently in difficult times.
"Dad, I'm going to go to the new house and light the stove, otherwise it will be too cold in the house when I sleep."
"It's dinner, let your mother go and sit down to eat." Mother Su stood up, picked up a bunch of keys hanging on the wall, and left. It didn't take long for Mother Su to come back.
Su Qiang sat by the stove, adding some firewood to the stove from time to time. The fire crackled in the silent night, bringing some warmth to the house. On the table were a plate of steamed buns, a plate of fried cabbage, and a bowl of steaming wild vegetable soup. Although the food was simple, everyone ate with gusto and enjoyed this rare reunion time.
After dinner, Wang Qianqian and her sister-in-law cleaned up the dishes together, and then they all sat by the fire and chatted. The family chatted about interesting things in the village and farm work in the new year, and looked forward to the future life together.
Su Xiaoya: "Second brother, when are you and Sister Qianqian getting married?" The younger sister revealed the question that Su's father and Su's mother had been avoiding. They hope that their children can marry a girl from the city, but they don't know how to tell Wang Qianqian, and they don't know what Su Wen thinks. They want to wait until Wang Qianqian is away to ask Su Wen.
"That's what I think. I'll ask Qianqian to open a letter of introduction and come to me in the city this weekend. Let's get the marriage certificate first. We'll talk about the wedding later. We don't have enough food at home to hold a banquet."
Su Wen's words made Su's father and mother Su a little stunned. They didn't expect Su Wen to be so anxious to apply for a marriage certificate.
Su's mother frowned, looked at Su's father, and then said, "Wen'er, you'd better discuss such a big matter with me and your father first. After all, getting married is not a trivial matter and requires careful consideration."
"Mom, Qianqian and I have already discussed it and we will get the marriage certificate on the weekend. As for the wedding, we will wait until the conditions at home improve."
Su's father and Su's mother heard Su Wen's words and knew that his idea had been carefully considered. They also understood that if they continued to oppose it, it would only make Su Wen more determined. So, they had no choice but to nod in agreement.
"Now that you have discussed it, your mother and I have no objections. After all, you have separated the family and you can make your own decisions." Su's father said.
Wang Qianqian was very excited when she heard that Su's father and mother Su agreed.
Su Wen and Wang Qianqian returned to their home together. Sitting on the edge of the bed, looking at each other, their hearts were filled with anticipation and joy.
"It's getting late for Qianqian, let's take a rest." Su Wen turned off the light and walked back to the bed again. He stretched out his hand and began to touch Wang Qianqian's body, trying to take off her clothes. The cotton-padded jacket had cloth buttons, and he became more and more anxious. The more she couldn't untie it, and when she saw Su Wen's anxious and embarrassed look at close range, Wang Qianqian laughed out loud, took the initiative to unbutton her cotton-padded jacket and took off her cotton trousers, then turned over and got into bed.
Su Wen took off all his clothes in a few moments and then got into bed. He stretched out his arms to hug Wang Qianqian and pulled off her underwear...
Afterwards, the two fell asleep hugging each other, melting into each other's hearts.
The next day Wang Qianqian insisted on going to school. Su Wen gave her ten yuan and asked her to go to Sijiu City to find her at the weekend with a letter of introduction from the village.
Su Wen had breakfast at the old house and went into the mountains with dry food and water in a backpack. He was going to see if the trap and lasso he had set caught any prey. Along the familiar path, Su Wen walked step by step towards the mountains. As he walked, he observed the surrounding environment, paying attention to whether there were any wild animals. He was filled with anticipation and excitement.
Continuing deeper into the forest, there were already thick layers of dead leaves under his feet, and he became increasingly excited. He imagined that there might be a wild animal trapped in the trap, waiting for his arrival. He held the machete tightly in his hand, took the shotgun off his back and hung it in front of his neck, ready to deal with possible dangers at any time.
A commotion was heard. He immediately became alert and cautiously approached. His heartbeat quickened and his palms began to sweat. Through the gaps in the grass, he saw a huge wild boar. This means that the wild boar can't find anything to eat and is ready to go down the mountain to attack the village.
Su Wen took a deep breath to calm himself down. He knew that he couldn't let the wild boar find him now, otherwise it would attack. He didn't have much fear in his heart. He could hide in his own space. After going down the mountain, he had to tell his father that he couldn't go into the mountain before spring.
After waiting for a while, the wild boar did not notice that Su Wen had left on his own. Su Wen breathed a sigh of relief and continued deep into the forest to check the trap and noose he had set. He was still very excited, looking forward to catching prey.
He checked several traps in succession, but found nothing. When he came to the next trap, he found that the noose had been broken and the prey had not been caught. He was a little disappointed, but not surprised. He knows that catching prey is not always successful and requires patience and luck.
He reset the trap and continued along the forest path. As he walked, he observed the surrounding environment, paying attention to whether there were any wild animals. The next trap showed signs of being touched. Su Wen carefully checked and found that the lasso had caught a pig badger. He cautiously approached the pig badger, preparing to harvest the prey. However, just when he was about to take action, the pig badger suddenly struggled and seemed to want to escape.
Su Wen felt nervous, worried that the pig badger would break free from the noose and escape. He quickly picked up the machete and hit the pig badger on the head with the back of the knife. The pig badger struggled a few times and then stopped moving. Su Wen patched it up a few more times before taking the pig badger out of the noose. He raised the knife and cut its throat and bled it. If the animal dies, it will taste very fishy if it is not bled.
After checking all the traps on the west side of the ravine, there was only one pig badger. After checking that there was still enough time, I went to my father's hunting area. After careful inspection, I only picked up two wild eggs.
Before dinner, Su Wen returned home and told his father about encountering wild boars in the mountains. Su's father also felt nervous after hearing this, and told Su Wen not to go into the mountains again before spring. He also told Su Wen that if you encounter a wild boar, you must not disturb it, but retreat slowly and do not let it discover it.
Su Wen nodded in agreement.
