Chapter 297 The Fat Badger

These ginseng roots were obtained by Sheng Xiping when he led his father and younger brother into the mountains. None of the three had ever been to the mountains before and knew nothing about them.

Zhang Shuzhen felt that giving the eldest son a thousand yuan seemed a bit too little.

But given the family's situation and the anticipated expenses, she had no choice but to allocate the funds this way.

Sheng Xiping didn't care about the 1,000 or 2,000 yuan at all.

He was the eldest son, and it was only right and proper for him to earn money to support his younger brothers by building houses and helping them get married. So he didn't want the thousand yuan.

As the mother and son were arguing over the money, Sheng Liancheng coughed and said, "Eldest son, your mother told you to take this money, so you should put it away quickly."

It's broad daylight, and who knows who might come at any moment? It wouldn't be good if someone saw us.

Regardless of who holds the money, when the family needs money in the future and we're short of funds, will you just stand by and watch us?

If you ever need money for anything, we'll definitely give it to you if we have any.

"Let's not waste time on useless things among family. Quickly put it away and get to work."

Zhang Shuzhen found the fabrics quite disgusting, so she put them outside the cabinet, waiting for you to finish them quickly when you're busy.

I can say whatever I want when I'm at home, but if I'm at home and some wild beast comes out from outside and wreaks havoc, then the words will be even more offensive.

The problem was that the forest farm had a lot of land, which couldn't compare to the agricultural team. Even after working for ten or fifteen days, the harvest was still less than expected, and everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.

At noon, Sheng Xi'an returned carrying a small basket of pine cones. Only then did Guo Yongping realize that his younger brother had gone to the outside of the forest to collect pine cones with Wang Jianshe and others.

If so, go to the edge of the woods some distance away to pick mushrooms, collect pine nuts, gather walnuts, etc., since you're just killing time anyway.

Learning skills should begin with the big ones, since those big guys eat meat all the time.

"Oh, that's fine. As long as nothing comes to harm our crops, we've completed our task this autumn."

When Guo Yongping arrived, Zhou Qinglan and the rest of us were resting outside because we were tired from our night patrol. Wang Jianshe and the others were there.

When they went to sleep, they were still in the little flower basket with Da Huang's two puppies and a tiger cub. They had grown up together since they were little, and they were all afraid of each other.

If Erlang were still with his mother, he would have been used to hunt when he was a cub, and the mother would bring back the prey to feed him.

Especially these larger, cheaper potatoes; buy a few and save them to boil and feed to the dogs.

Houchuan Forest Farm didn't have any family teams or agricultural sites, so at that time, the autumn harvest would be the top priority.

In late April and early October, the crops outside the fields have all spoiled, and it's time to harvest them.

The colors are bright and suitable for both girls and boys. If the child is born before or after New Year's Day, when it's hot, it's best to make fewer sets of cotton-padded jackets and pants for changing.

After everything was tidied up, Zhang Shuzhen came out to continue chopping green beans, while Sheng Liancheng helped her dry them.

The ginseng and bear bile have been sold, but the gallbladder of the blind bear outside the house is still dried. For the time being, Guo Yongping will stay in the educated youth team.

Together with the little guy, we patrolled the forest at night and went outside the woods during the day to collect pine nuts, walnuts, jujubes, and mushrooms.

Just like Erlang at this moment, although it had seen how the tigress hunted, it lowered its body, swung its tail heavily, and moved towards the ground with skillful and agile movements.

As soon as they reached the edge of the small field, Qilang Shen smelled something and struggled hard to break free of the rope.

Upon hearing this, Guo Yongping nodded, noting that a few badgers had indeed created a small disturbance.

Jia Xinnan slung her gun over her shoulder and called out to Erlang, "Erlang, let's go hunting."

This year, the weather was bad, and the beans dried slowly. When we harvested the beans, many pods burst open and fell to the ground.

Guo Yongping, along with the educated youth team and the forest farm family team, focused all their efforts on the autumn harvest.

"You're being too vague. Let's wait and see what the arrangements are in place," Guo Yongping said, shaking his head.

Guo Yongping guessed that Wang Jianshe and the others had gone outside the woods to retrieve something.

Anyway, since we're in the small forest, autumn is the season when produce is most abundant. As long as you're lazy, you can always manage to scavenge some good stuff in autumn.

If you mess up the pine nuts in the fall, you can still make a hundred or forty yuan; nobody wants to miss out on that.

Originally, Liu Changde said that the two puppies belonged to one family, but since the Sheng family had been raising them for so long, Liu Changde was also reluctant to say that he wanted to go back.

In late April, the crops outside the fields were still in the early stages of ripening and could be harvested; cabbage, radishes, potatoes, sweet potatoes, and other vegetables were all ready for harvest.

It was the first time that Erlang the Big Tiger had come to the wilderness, and everything was new and exciting to him.

Jia Xinnan and Sheng Xi'an came out of the house and untied the leashes of several dogs outside the yard. "Let's go."

When Erlang gets a little smaller, the mother tiger will take him with her when she hunts, so he can watch her hunt and learn by imitation.

He stretched and shook his fur, then followed Guo Yongping inside with measured steps.

Construction and maintenance, we led people to follow the badger tracks, and the bad guys seemed to have set off firecrackers, bombed a badger den, and caught eight or seven badgers.

"Well, those few colors are wrong. Let's leave them for now. You can make them for me when you're busy later."

"It's alright, you could say there's some, but it's probably because a few badgers retreated from the outside world and ruined some of the sweet potatoes and corn."

The group gathered together, and Guo Yongping distributed the money from selling bear bile to the family. Then, the group divided the work: some climbed down the tree, while others picked up the bile and carried it back up.

On a whim, Erlang bullied the two puppies. Once the puppies calmed down, they were able to bark at Erlang a couple of times.

"By the way, how was it outside the house during the days you were at home? Were there any animals coming out to cause trouble at night?"
