"Second brother! Second child!"
The eldest sister, Li Shiying, had just entered her yard when she heard the angry voice of her second-in-law: "Sister, you came just in time. Wait for me to skin the wolf, and then pack up the wolf meat."
Following the sound, I saw Li Shiqiang skinning a wolf under the tree.
She was about to ask something when Chen Xianglan, who was standing beside her, spoke up: "These are the wolves that Erwa met in the mountains. Not a single one was left. They were all beaten back home. And Erwa didn't get anything done."
Li Shiying felt relieved and complained angrily: "I heard that Mrs. Chen's screaming, so scared that I thought something had happened to the second baby."
After saying that, she went to the kitchen.
By the time Li Shiying took out a big red plastic basin from the kitchen, Li Shiqiang had already peeled off a wolf skin.
He threw the remaining wolf meat directly into the basin.
Chen Xianglan, who had been full of joy before, suddenly became worried again: "I haven't finished the mountain muntjac meat last time. Now there is so much meat. When will I finish it?"
Who would have expected that the Li family, who could only eat meat during the Chinese New Year, would now be troubled by having too much meat.
Li Shiqiang on the side shook his head and said: "This wolf meat is not delicious, it is sour and astringent, so I might as well sell it."
"sold?"
Chen Xianglan hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded: "Okay, you can sell it if you say you want. You were the one who did it anyway."
Xu Sheng came up and asked greedily: "Can you save some for me before selling it? I haven't eaten this wolf meat yet."
"You still don't believe it?" Li Shiqiang raised the knife and asked directly, "Okay, I will give you all the wolf meat you want."
"Half of it, this half is enough for Yaomei and I to eat for half a month."
Li Shiqiang took a knife and cut out half of the wolf meat in the basin. "You can get it yourself when you go back later."
When he stood up and was about to skin the second wolf, another voice suddenly came from the door of the courtyard: "Er baby, are you at the top of the house?"
Several people turned around and saw a woman in her forties appearing at the door carrying a bamboo basket.
"Guifang! Come on, come in and sit down!"
"Sister Chen, are you also in the house?"
"Didn't I hear someone say that Erwa met a wolf in the mountains, so he came back in a hurry?"
"Oh, I heard that too. Thinking that our two families are neighbors, if something happens to the second baby, I can come back and help."
Guifang held the bamboo basket in one hand and pointed at the five wolves on the tree with one hand and said in surprise: "Ah! Erwa has come back from hunting so many wolves? I'm afraid it will take several months to eat so much meat!"
Li Shiqiang's hand holding the knife paused slightly, and he immediately understood the meaning of their neighbor's sister's words.
He directly cut off a hind thigh, carried it over and said, "Ms. Chen, we can't finish all the wolf meat. You can take it back and give it to the people in the house to eat."
"Oh! How can this be so embarrassing! Meat is so precious these days. You can't even buy it if you want."
I said I was embarrassed, but the bamboo basket in my hand was already handed to me.
Li Shiqiang smiled nonchalantly and said, "They're all caught in the mountains. If you want to eat, just ask me to get them."
"The second baby is still sensible."
"Okay, that's it. I'm about to get off work, and I have to go back and finish it soon."
"Yes, walk slowly."
After Aunt Guifang left, Xu Sheng immediately curled his lips in displeasure and said, "He's obviously just here to ask for meat, and he sounds like he really cares about us."
When Aunt Guifang spoke just now, she didn't even mention his name. Is this because she was concerned?
"Forget it, they're all in the same village."
Chen Xianglan waved her hands and sighed.
"Erwa, are you in the house?"
But just as Chen Xianglan finished speaking, someone came to the door of the courtyard again.
When she saw the figure outside, Chen Xianglan immediately lost her good expression and said unhappily: "What are you doing here?"
At the entrance of the hospital, a woman in her forties also appeared.
Although this person is about the same age as Chen Xianglan, she looks much better than Chen Xianglan in terms of complexion and appearance. She does not look like a woman who often does farm work at all.
Li Shiqiang took a look and found that not only was she holding an empty bamboo basket in her hand, but there was also an empty bamboo basket behind her.
Seeing Chen Xianglan here, the people at the entrance of the courtyard also changed their expressions.
"What's going on? Can't I come?"
"If I hadn't heard someone say that the second baby was bitten by a wolf, I wouldn't have come to see him."
Chen Xianglan replied with a look of disbelief: "What a cat crying and a mouse pretending to be compassionate! Why don't you come to see me usually, but now you come to see me? I don't think you are here to see people, you are here to ask for meat."
Hearing what Chen Xianglan said, the man stopped pretending and said directly: "Yes, I'm here to ask for meat. I haven't had meat for several months. The old man was sick again some time ago. I heard If your family has meat, you will bring the food."
Li Shiqiang paused and asked the figure at the door of the hospital: "Second aunt, is my grandpa sick?"
The second aunt glanced at Chen Xianglan angrily and said, "Yes, I live in a village and I don't even know that my old man is sick."
Chen Xianglan lowered her head and said nothing.
Li Shiqiang directly lifted the bit of wolf meat that had just been cut off and said: "Then second aunt will take this meat back to grandpa to eat. This wolf meat is quite sour and needs to be stewed for a while so that the old man can bite it."
The second aunt looked at the half of the wolf meat, rolled her eyes and said: "Second aunt, you also know that there are many people in the second aunt's house, and now they take care of your grandpa and grandma. I'm afraid this little meat will be too much. Not enough to eat.”
Li Shiqiang was stunned and said with a smile: "Second aunt, please wait for me. I'll skin it and then I'll get half of it for you."
When the second aunt heard this, the smile on her face was brighter than a chrysanthemum. She glanced at Chen Xianglan and said, "You are a filial child, unlike some people who have no relationship with their old man."
After saying that, she stared at the wolves hanging on the tree and said, "Don't go to the trouble of trimming half of it. You can just carry a wolf back to me. I can also skin the wolf."
After hearing these words, Chen Xianglan, who had lowered her head all the time, suddenly raised her head: "Chen Yanmei, what else do you want? I'll give you the meat, but you still want the skin?"
"My kid took the risk and went to the mountains to get these. How dare you ask for them? If you want them, just call your kid and go to the mountains to get them."
After saying that, she waved her hand in disgust and said: "That half of the meat is enough for you, pick it up and take it away quickly. Your family is idle all day long, and you don't even earn work points, so why do you eat so much meat!"
Listening to Chen Xianglan's series of words, the second aunt didn't care at all. Instead, she said happily: "Okay. I'll tell the old man when I get back that your family is rich now. Not only are you willing to buy canned oranges and cream to give away, you have such a I can’t bear to part with the succulent meat.”
Chen Xianglan was furious: "Gungun, whatever you say, you can say whatever you want."
