Although he slept late last night, Li Shiqiang got up before dawn the next day.
One is because of sleeping habits, and the other is because the whole family is up.
Because only the skin was peeled last night and the meat had not yet been divided, mother Chen Xianglan kept thinking about it. After getting up, she took Li Nongchang, the eldest son Li Shiying, the eldest son-in-law, and the third and fourth sons to boil water and divide the meat.
The only people in the family who didn't scream were Li Shiqiang and the youngest Li Shijun.
Seeing Li Shiqiang walking out of the house, his mother Chen Xianglan immediately smiled and said, "Er baby, you were busy all night last night. Please sleep more today."
"Get up!"
After Li Shiqiang muttered something, he took the knife from his mother's hand.
But Chen Xianglan stopped him: "No hurry, no hurry, drink a bowl of porridge first and then help."
"OK!"
Li Shiqiang had just returned to the main room and was about to pick up the sweet potato porridge on the table and start eating, when he saw his eldest brother-in-law walking over shyly.
At this time, the eldest brother-in-law had an apron hanging on his body, which was covered with blood, and even his hands had a lot of blood on it. It looked like he had been busy since he got up.
The eldest brother-in-law sat next to Li Shiqiang and asked, "Er baby, can I get some antelope beef to take home?"
Li Shiqiang held the chopsticks and chuckled, and said calmly: "Take it, brother-in-law, just take as much meat as you want."
Li Shiqiang had met his eldest brother-in-law's mother several times in his previous life. It was indeed not easy to live alone in the mountains and forests.
Moreover, Li Shiqiang also planned to ask his eldest brother-in-law's mother for help in this life, so he agreed without hesitation.
Thinking of this, he put down the bowl and chopsticks again and said to his eldest brother-in-law: "Brother Qiang, wait for me."
"Eh?"
Li Shiqiang came to the yard, pulled Chen Xianglan aside, whispered in her ear: "Mom, give me some money!"
"Take money? What are you doing with money?"
Chen Xianglan looked confused and couldn't figure out what was going on.
During this time, Erwa has been adding money to the family and has never received a penny.
"The last time I shot the fragrant deer, one of them was shot by me, Sheng Wa, and my brother-in-law. After selling the money, I haven't divided it with my brother-in-law yet. While he planned to go home this time, let his mother take it away. I just told him to get the money again."
Li Shiqiang himself had prepared some money, but after giving it to Xu Sheng last time, he only had a few cents left.
"Well, we should get him some money."
After hearing what Chen Xianglan said, she agreed directly without saying anything about sharing the money between the two families.
"How much to take?"
"Twenty dollars."
"Okay, I'll get it."
Li Shiqiang felt a little happy when he saw his mother being so reasonable.
Although she is not unreasonable at all when she loses her temper, she is still very reasonable at ordinary times.
With such a mother here, there is no need to worry about any problems in the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in the future.
However, when Chen Xianglan came over with twenty yuan, she still asked eagerly: "Er baby, how long will that bear bile hang on?"
Li Shiqiang thought for a while and said, "If the weather is good, seven or eight days will be enough."
"Okay, when it dries, you can quickly sell it! We are building a house now, and many people come here every day. I'm afraid someone will come into the house and steal our bear bile."
His mother's words were indeed a wake-up call for Li Shiqiang.
When the people who know how to build a house come, it is estimated that the whole village will know that they have a valuable bear bile at home. If some people want to take a look at the bear bile, they will also find that it is a piece of even more valuable bear bile. Golden gall.
There are so many people building a house every day, and the family members are also busy helping and cooking. If someone really steals their gold gallbladder, they will be very angry.
"Yes, Mom. I'll let Xiaohua look at it for me, and I'll sell it after the bear bile dries."
...
After Li Shiqiang entered the house, he took the twenty yuan and stuffed it into the eldest brother-in-law's trouser pocket.
The eldest brother-in-law's hands were stained with blood and it was difficult to pay for it, so he had to ask anxiously: "Second son, why did you give me the money?"
Li Shiqiang smiled, picked up the bowl again and said, "Brother Qiang, this is the money you paid for hunting fragrant deer last time. You can take it with confidence. I have also shared this money with Sheng Wa, so I should share it with you. It's just right. If you want to send meat back, why not use the money to buy some things for your mother to take back. She lives in the deep mountains and old forests, and it’s usually hard to buy anything for her shortcomings."
The eldest brother-in-law, Tong Shunqiang, murmured several times, but finally grinned and said with a smile: "Er baby, then I'll take the money."
"Take it! Take it!"
Li Shiqiang reached out and patted his eldest brother-in-law on the shoulder, and said again: "When you go shopping, don't forget to buy some for my sister too."
"I want it! I want it!"
After the eldest brother-in-law agreed happily, he quickly turned around to divide the meat.
After Li Shiqiang finished drinking the porridge and washed the dishes, he was ready to take the guy to the yard to help, but after taking only two steps, he found something hanging on his feet.
He looked down and found that the red panda had come over at some point and was holding his feet and biting the corners of his clothes.
"Let go! I'll chew up your clothes later!"
Li Shiqiang patted the red panda's head gently but not hard, immediately attracting its attention and began to try to hold his hand.
He quickly took out his feet and planned to run away. The red panda also reacted and hugged his feet.
"嘤嘤嘤!"
Listening to the call of the red panda, Li Shiqiang couldn't help but smile, looked down at it and said with a smile: "Can you still make this sound?"
The red panda ignored him and just kept trying to bite his clothes and legs.
Li Shiqiang quickly reached out and pushed its head and shouted: "Don't bite it, I'll chop some bamboo and bring it back for you to eat!"
As if he heard the food, the red panda quickly raised his head and looked at him, his eyes full of innocence and desire.
"Really, let me go first!"
After Li Shiqiang said something quickly, he began to try to open the hands and feet of the red panda.
After playing with it for a while, the red panda thought Li Shiqiang was playing with it, and suddenly fell to the ground and twisted.
Seeing the rare opportunity, Li Shiqiang ran away quickly.
The red panda lying on the ground was also a little dumbfounded. After being stunned for a moment, he quickly got up from the ground and chased after him on all fours.
By the time Li Shiqiang ran to the entrance of the courtyard, the people who helped build the house had arrived from home after breakfast. He suddenly saw the red panda behind Li Shiqiang and was a little stunned.
Because red pandas are a bit shy and usually stay in the house to cook and play, most people who come to Li's house to help build a house don't know that there is a panda in Li's house.
"Erwa, why is there a panda following you?"
Li Shiqiang was worried about being seen by more people, so he ran directly to the back mountain without stopping to explain.
Seeing him running away, the red panda seemed a little anxious and chased him directly in front of others.
