In order to make dried meat, Qi Monan also built a simple oven in the yard to bake the dried meat.
The aroma of meat wafting from their yard these past two days has made both adults and children in the compound extremely greedy.
Some people are just envious, but some people are very angry.
"The meat that Captain Song's family ate must have been the wild boar we encountered that day. Captain Song and Brigade Commander Qi are way too greedy. Such a big wild boar, at least several hundred kilograms, and they actually ate it all by themselves. How can they be so shameless?"
"That's right. If it weren't for us, they wouldn't even be able to see wild boar hair. We should have gotten our share too. How could they just keep it all to themselves? That's outrageous."
Some people made such sarcastic remarks, and naturally others said something more sinister, "You have no conscience when you say that. They killed the wild boar and saved your lives. I didn't see you go to thank them, yet you are still saying such heartless things. If I were Commander Song and Commander Qi, I shouldn't have saved you and let you be eaten by the wild boar."
The two men thought differently, "We didn't ask them to rescue us, we escaped on our own."
Someone retorted, "You are so powerful, why don't you go hunt a wild boar? Then you two can each get half a boar. Who dares to compete with you?"
"That's right, you have no money, yet you still have the wild idea of eating pork. Did you kill the pig or move it? You didn't do anything, but you're thinking of getting something for nothing. How can you be so shameless?"
The two military wives were speechless and fled in shame.
Song Yun was completely unaware of the discussions outside. When the dried meat in the oven was finished, someone knocked on the door.
Song Yun thought it was the greedy Aunt Qian from next door who came with her grandson again, but it turned out to be Chen Cuicui.
Chen Cuicui smelled the rich aroma of meat in the courtyard and was embarrassed to go in. She was afraid that Song Yun would misunderstand that she was there to eat meat, so she took out the handkerchief she had just embroidered.
The handkerchief was a square piece of pure white fine cotton, with peony patterns embroidered only on two corners. The colors were bold and bright, and the embroidery was exquisite. Although the pattern was small, the petals and stamens were vivid and delicate, which made people like it at first sight.
"Is this for me?" Song Yun looked at it in surprise, turning it over and over again, unable to let it go.
Chen Cuicui nodded. "I've embroidered two pieces for you, and the other one is halfway done. I'll show you this one first. If you're not satisfied, I'll make another one for you."
Song Yun said hurriedly, "I like it so much. Your craftsmanship is better than I thought. This is simply master-level embroidery."
Chen Cuicui felt a little embarrassed by Song Yun's praise, "It's not as good as you say."
Song Yun said, "I'm not exaggerating at all. Your embroidery is really good. This kind of craft is good enough to teach a class."
Chen Cuicui smiled bitterly, "Who would be willing to learn this these days? They can't even get enough to eat."
Song Yun said, "No one is learning it now, but when people's lives get better in the future, there will definitely be people willing to learn it. You must not let this skill go to waste."
Chen Cuicui also looks forward to that day. She doesn't expect to open a class and become a teacher, but she just hopes that this skill can allow her to earn some money and make her family live a more comfortable life.
