The next morning, Li Yuemin got up early again.

After his rebirth, he has been upholding the fine traditions he developed in the army in his previous life and always gets up on time.

First, he did some boxing to loosen up his muscles.

He walked around his yard again, thinking about how to combine the big tiled house that Li Guolin had just vacated with his two small mud houses into one courtyard. When he had saved enough money, he would rebuild all of them into big tiled houses.

Li Yuemin had an idea in his mind, and began to deal with the dozen or so wolves that he had killed yesterday.

At this time, Li Yuejin also woke up.

To be exact, ever since he lay down in the big tiled house, he had been so excited that he could not fall asleep.

As soon as he heard Li Yuemin's footsteps, he put on his cotton jacket and came to his side:

"Brother, let me help you. How are you going to deal with these beasts this time?

Should I keep the meat and eat it, or take it to the black market to exchange for money?"

...

...

Li Yuemin replied as he peeled off the wolf skin skillfully:

"We have enough meat stored at home now. I plan to pickle the wolf meat, dry it in the wind, and save it for eating when we go into the mountains.

As for the wolf skin, I don’t know how to tan it, and there is no one in our village who is capable of doing so, so I can only sell it raw.”

Hu Zi smelled the blood, ran over with his tail wagging, and rubbed his head against Li Yuemin's trouser leg.

I don’t know if she is acting coquettishly or complaining.

Yesterday, Li Yuemin locked Hu Zi in the house and did not let him participate in the battle, which made Hu Zi so angry that he ignored him.

If it weren't for the wolf meat, it wouldn't even bother to come out of the firewood pile.

Li Yuemin threw a piece of meat into the air far away and shouted:

"Huzi, come on!"

Hu Zi leaped over and his agile body drew a graceful arc in the air.

He opened his mouth, took the piece of meat steadily in his mouth, and finished it in a few bites.

Li Yuemin threw the second and third pieces, each one farther than the last, and Hu Zi lived up to everyone's expectations and caught them all.

Hu Zi's identity is not ordinary. His father is a wolf and his mother is a big blue dog, also a hybrid of a wolf and a dog.

It can be said that, at its root, Hu Zi's bloodline is closer to that of the wolf.

After the wolf father made the dog mother pregnant, he fled into the forest and never came back.

I don’t know if there was an accident or if the dog married a wolf.

When Hu Zi was born, there was a famine and people could not even afford to feed themselves, so where would they get the money to feed the dogs?

Therefore, his uncle Li Laonian stewed the bitch and of course did not let go of the pups it gave birth to.

Huzi is the smartest and most playful of the four or five cubs. His green fur perfectly inherits the bloodline of his mother dog. It is as smooth as satin without a single stray hair.

It was Li Yuemin who hugged Li Laonian's thighs and cried loudly for a long time, which saved Hu Zi's life.

From then on, whenever there was something to eat, Li Yuemin would rather starve himself than feed Hu Zi.

He wanted to take Hu Zi home to raise, but his father was dead, his mother was blind, and the family couldn't even afford to eat, so how could they afford to raise such a little beast?

Because of Hu Zi, he had many conflicts with Li Guolin.

Li Guolin even used Hu Zi to threaten Li Yuemin to do many things he was unwilling to do.

Now Hu Zi finally followed him legitimately, which made Li Yuemin very happy.

He wanted to train Huzi into a wolfdog as good as a police dog, and it would be best if he could find a female wolf to breed with him.

It’s a pity that both Ah Hong and Ah Qiang, the two ungrateful people, ran away.

If the female wolf Ah Hong were here, it would be a perfect match for the two of them to be paired together and have more litters of cubs.

Every decent old mountain ranger has a gang of three or five good dogs at home.

Although Hu Zi has wolf bloodline, the strength of one hound is too weak. After all, Li Yuemin can afford to raise a few more hounds.

After collecting the wolf meat, Li Yuemin saw that it was getting late, so he started to make a fire and cook.

Now their family's life is better, golden millet porridge has replaced cornmeal porridge, and white flour mask has replaced flatbread.

Add a plate of fried meat with black fungus, a plate of scrambled eggs, a small dish of pickled cucumbers, and a small dish of pickled radish, which was considered a bit of a luxury in that era.

Li Yuemin set up the small table on the kang, laid out the food, brought some hot water, and asked Chuntao to get up and wash up.

Chuntao yawned, stretched, and a happy smile was on her face.

"Brother Yuemin, where are our mom and Yuejin? Why didn't you call them?"

"Oh, they took it back to their room and ate it. They said they wanted to experience the happiness of eating in a brick house."

The two of them talked as they ate, and the breakfast was warm and sweet.

After dinner, Li Yuemin picked up the dishes, cleared the table, and turned on the TV for Chuntao.

Last night, his father-in-law came to visit, and Li Yuemin wanted to give him a surprise.

Unexpectedly, because of the commotion caused by his grandma and his second aunt, he forgot that the family had bought a new TV.

The TV was quickly adjusted, and when the image appeared on the screen, Chuntao was extremely excited.

"Brother Yuemin, this time we no longer have to carry a small stool to go from village to village to watch open-air movies.

Go and call mother over quickly. Even though she can’t see, it’s good for her to hear her voice.”

Li Yuemin kissed Chuntao on the face:

"You are such a good daughter-in-law to me. I like your filial piety, just like me!"

After Li Yuemin finished speaking, he pushed the door and walked out.

As soon as he walked out of the house, he ran into Zhuzi walking towards him, holding a small basket in his hand.

"Brother, I heard about what happened last night. When I came all the way here, the lights in your house were already off.

I was thinking about it all night and wanted to come and see it early in the morning.

But my mother insisted on making some pickled cabbage dumplings for you, so that delayed me."

After saying that, he handed the basket to Li Yuemin.

Before Li Yuemin could take the basket, his younger brother Li Yuejin took it over:

"Second brother, how do you know my mother likes to eat pickled cabbage dumplings?

She has been wanting to make this for years, but my brother and I don’t know how to make it. I’ll send it to her right away.”

Li Yuemin looked at Li Yuejin's back and found that he liked his younger brother more and more.

Not only is she smart, she is also very courageous, and she also has the same unwillingness to admit defeat as him.

Hu Zi was full, but he still kept circling around Li Yuemin.

Li Yuemin squatted down and patted its head:

"Huzi, go play over there. My second brother and I have something serious to discuss."

When Hu Zi saw that he was being driven away, he whimpered and left reluctantly with his tail between his legs.

Li Yuemin stood up and pointed at the stone pillar in the yard and said:

"Second brother, sit down.

I want to take you to the mountains for a few days to train you to use a gun with your left hand. I wonder if you can leave your home?"

"Brother, actually I came here this time to talk to you about this.

You know, I'm used to living in the mountains, and I really can't bear to leave this old forest.

The famine at home has already come, and we have stored some food, meat, etc., so we are not worried."

"Okay, second brother, then you go home and prepare.

I will deliver the 108 fish I promised Brother Guang tomorrow, and we will go into the mountains the day after tomorrow."

When Zhuzi heard that he could finally return to the mountains, a long-lost smile finally appeared on his face.

"Okay, big brother, it's a deal then!

I'll come find you later, see you there!"

After saying that, he stood up and was about to leave when the militiaman Gatou walked in from outside the yard:

"Brother Yuemin, someone from the county bureau is here, and the village chief wants you to go to the team headquarters as soon as possible."
