Lin Xiaoxue was also holding half a steamed bun in her hand and chewing it. Her thin body and pale face finally had some color thanks to the nutritional supplements over the past few days.
"Brother Awang, white flour is really a good thing.
It can make steamed buns, noodles, dumplings, and pancakes..."
Zhao Daniu also ate with gusto, and then recalled, "When my parents were still alive, we would eat dumplings every Chinese New Year.
Can we eat dumplings this year too?
Instead of making meat dumplings, just wrap some wild leeks or something, it will be very delicious.
My sister and I can be responsible for finding wild leeks!"
"Yes! I haven't eaten wild leek dumplings for a long time.
It’s really delicious, Brother Awang, is it okay? "
Zhao Juhua was also standing by, looking at Lin Huowang with expectant eyes.
Lin Huowang was eating a steamed bun with big mouthfuls of white flour, while smiling and saying:
“I want to eat dumplings during Chinese New Year!
Of course that’s fine, but why are we eating leek dumplings?
If you want to eat it, you have to eat pork dumplings or mutton dumplings!
Just wait, I'm going into the mountains to hunt today.
I’ll let you hunt wild boars, gazelles, and stupid roe deer…”
After getting a Type 56 semi-automatic rifle from Captain Wang, Lin Huowang gained more confidence to go into the mountains.
Otherwise, relying only on that outdated hunting rifle with only three bullets, Lin Huowang wouldn't dare to go deep into the dense forest.
However, upon hearing this, Lin's mother rushed over and advised:
"Awang! There is enough food at home now. We can survive the winter by saving some money. You don't have to go into the mountains.
The mountains in winter can eat people!
If the mountain god gets angry, even the most experienced hunter will die in the mountains."
Since she was a child, Lin's mother has seen and heard countless hunters who went into the mountains and never came back, so she is very worried about the forest fire.
Liu Rumeng also shyly echoed:
"Yes! Awang! Mother is right.
Now you are treated as a company-level officer and receive food and salary every month.
As long as we save a little, it will be enough to support this whole family."
"Meng Meng! I don't know if the company rank that Captain Wang applied for me can be implemented!
Moreover, relying solely on the army's money and food is not a long-term solution.
The mountains in the Northeast are full of treasures.
You have seen my shooting skills. As long as I am careful, those beasts can't hurt me.
and……"
As he spoke, Lin Huowang glanced at Zhao Daniu next to him and said, "Besides, I plan to take Daniu with me into the mountains today and feel out the situation from the outside.
See if there are any pheasants or rabbits to hunt, and don’t go too deep into the dense forest.”
"Wow! Can I go too?
Brother Awang, how about you teach me how to shoot a gun too!"
When Zhao Daniu heard this, he immediately became excited.
He is thirteen years old, but due to years of malnutrition, he is thin and looks like a child of about ten years old.
But what boy wouldn't be interested in hunting and guns?
"Well! That's more like it."
After hearing this, Lin's mother nodded.
As long as you don't go deep into the dense forests and mountains, it is relatively safe within a few hundred meters near the village.
Those ferocious wild beasts generally dare not approach human villages.
Lin's mother often goes to this area to pick mushrooms and wild vegetables.
She could occasionally see a lot of pheasants and rabbits, but on such a snowy day, she could not catch them even though she could see them, and could only watch them run away every time.
If the forest fire is strong and we can hunt one or two wild game, save them for the New Year, and make meat dumplings to eat, then it can be considered a great and prosperous new year.
After breakfast, Lin Huowang put on the military coat issued by the army, which was exceptionally warm.
Liu Rumeng adjusted his collar, carefully and gently. Her moist lips sparkled with a crystal light, and Lin Huowang couldn't help but step forward and take a sip several times.
"Oh! Stop it.
The children are watching!"
Liu Rumeng is still thin-skinned.
Especially, Lin Xiaoxue, Zhao Daniu and Zhao Juhua were watching beside her, and her face turned red from Lin Huowang's kiss.
"Hehe! Brother, you can kiss me as much as you want. We can't see..."
Lin Xiaoxue shouted like a show-off.
Zhao Daniu and Zhao Juhua were so shy that they quickly turned their backs.
Lin's mother was laughing beside her. In fact, she slept very lightly last night.
Naturally, I could hear the great harmonious song of life between my son and daughter-in-law.
At that time, she was so happy.
Finally, a big worry was resolved. She never expected that her son could marry such a beautiful bride with such good conditions. It was like a dream.
Seeing her daughter-in-law reluctantly seeing her son off, Lin's mother felt very happy.
Finally, I can live such a peaceful and happy life like a god.
…
"Daniu! When you are outside, just remember one thing.
All actions must follow my command!
Don't act rashly, understand?"
While instructing Zhao Daniu, Lin Huowang wrapped the Type 56 semi-automatic rifle with cloth and put it on his back.
After all, this is the standard equipment of the army, and he can't show it to outsiders.
Wrapped up like this, from the outside, others would think he was still carrying the old hunting rifle from the village!
"I know! Brother Awang.
I understand, all actions are subject to command."
Zhao Daniu finally showed his lively side. This child has a miserable life. He has been begging and wandering around with his sister. He has not had a single day of peace in the past two years.
