Chapter 30: Deal Done
"Where's your brother?"
Song Wei made up an excuse: "My brother left early because of something."
The deputy director of the steel plant looked at her suspiciously.
Song Wei: "Don't worry, there are so many wild boar meats. If they weren't from my family, no one else would leave them here without letting anyone see them."
Yes, who would be so confident as to put so much pork here?
However, how can these few people weigh the wild boar? Song Wei rolled up his sleeves. This is not easy.
She simply took the big pole scale and tied the wild boar to the hook.
"Come on, I'll carry it."
The big scale requires a wooden stick to be hung and lifted horizontally, and one person pulls the weight to calculate the weight.
Song Wei looked thin and small, but the deputy director's son was quite strong.
"Why don't you let my dad come?"
He was afraid that the scale would crush the woman on the opposite side, whose age he didn't know, to the ground.
Song Wei: "Stop wasting time, hurry up."
If I wasn't afraid of scaring you, I could weigh myself.
In the end, the deputy director's son's shoulders trembled slightly from the pressure, but Song Wei was fine.
"This one weighs three hundred and twenty pounds."
Put it down and start over.
"This one weighs four hundred and fifty-two pounds!"
"The two little ones weigh 91 kilograms in total."
Song Wei: "I have to keep some meat."
The three people opposite looked very painful and reluctant.
"This meat will not be complete if it is cut."
Song Wei wanted to roll her eyes: "You guys are not going to divide it when you take it back?"
No matter what, she had to eat some meat after finally killing a wild boar.
"I don't want more, just five pounds."
Finally, after her persistent argument, Song Wei successfully snatched five kilograms of pork.
This wild boar often runs around in the mountains, and its meat is very lean.
After calculating the money, the deputy factory director gave 200 kilograms with tickets, and the rest were all without tickets.
This time Song Wei earned 712.2 yuan. Although it was a bit troublesome and tiring, it was worth it.
The deputy factory director had enough money with him, so he simply gave the money and some tickets of equivalent value.
Song Wei took a look in the moonlight and found a few food coupons that were exactly what she needed.
After helping to move all the wild boars onto the cart, Song Wei watched them leave and took Heidan back to the Ping'an Brigade.
It’s just that the road is a bit far and it takes about two hours to walk.
They were not afraid of walking, but they were hungry.
"How about we eat something before we go?"
Heidan's eyes fell on the meat in her hand, and the little guy swallowed hard.
In the end, only about two kilograms of wild boar meat were reduced from the five kilograms, and the two found a place to start grilling.
The condiments were scarce, and the lean wild boar meat was not very oily and had a smell.
But it was good to have something to eat late at night. Song Wei and Heidan had both been hungry before, so they didn't complain at all.
While grilling the meat, she cracked open the five walnuts she had left and shared them with Heidan.
"Sister Song, you eat me but I'm not hungry."
Heidan ate only one walnut and then left it there. He curled up beside the fire, the firelight making his little face with black hands a little bright.
He curled up into a ball, hugging his knees, his small hands gently covering his stomach.
He was hungry, but he had eaten some walnuts before and had enough food in his stomach, so he could bear it.
When he was at the Lin family, he was used to being hungry.
"Eat. I'm saving some room for more meat."
Song Wei stuffed the walnut into his hand.
The fragrance of walnuts lingered at the tip of his nose. Heidan glanced at Song Wei and smiled secretly with his lips pursed.
"Thank you, Sister Song."
He ate the walnuts and felt warm in his heart, but his eyes were a little red.
This was the first time someone was so nice to him. He wished he could always stay with Sister Song.
Thinking about the Lin family, he felt a little lost.
While eating walnuts, when the wild boar meat was almost roasted, Song Wei gave some to Heidan, and then he started to eat it without caring that it was still hot.
The meat was sliced and grilled on skewers. Although the slices were not thin, they were all grilled.
It’s not delicious but no one dislikes it.
My stomach is full, well actually not.
Song Wei was still not satisfied with the meal and even wanted to roast the remaining meat.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
But after hesitating for a while, I decided to give up. It would be a bit of a waste to do so.
Now that there's something in her stomach, she walks with more energy.
Even when walking at night, I am not afraid at all. After all, even if I encounter robbers or hooligans, I don’t know who may be in danger.
However, Heidan had short legs and was not wearing shoes, so he had a hard time keeping up.
But he didn't cry or make a fuss. He used his short legs to try very hard to keep up with Song Wei.
Song Wei stopped and Heidan bumped into her leg.
It hurt a little when his nose was hit, but Heidan didn't cry. He just covered his nose and looked up at Song Wei with a silly smile.
"fool."
Song Wei tapped him lightly on the forehead, then reached out and picked him up and put him in the backpack.
"Why didn't you tell me to wait when I couldn't catch up?"
Heidan squatted in the backpack, looking at Song Wei's back with a pair of particularly bright eyes.
My nose was just sore originally, but now it feels very sore.
"I can keep up."
He carefully placed his hand in front of the backpack, and pressed his small palm against Song Wei's back through a layer of bamboo.
He even leaned his little head against it.
"Sister Song, why are you so nice to me?"
Song Wei was still walking briskly with Heidan's thin body on his back.
"Okay? Didn't I ask you to help me grill the meat?"
Song Wei spoke in a natural tone and didn't say anything sensational.
"If you think I'm good to you, help me find more food in the mountains, and then you share 30% and I share 70%."
Heidan sniffed and said in a very loud voice: "You can give them all to Sister Song, I don't want them."
He has no home and can't keep anything.
He was willing to help Sister Song find things even if he didn't ask for anything.
Song Wei said stupidly: "You are still young and it is normal that you can't keep things, but you can leave it with me. I will keep it for you and come to me whenever you need it. Although I am a little greedy, I won't take advantage of a child."
After a long while without hearing Heidan's voice, Song Wei turned her head and found that the little guy was curled up in the backpack, sleeping close to her.
Under the moonlight, Song Wei stopped talking and disturbing him, but moved faster.
She only took one hour to walk the two-hour journey.
When we arrived at the Youth League Home, everyone was already asleep.
She took Heidan back to her room.
Heidan couldn't be allowed to sleep on the kang because the bedding there was new. Heidan was greasy and dirty, so he had to sleep on the makeshift bed she had put up earlier.
She was also tired, so she put away the money she earned today and fell asleep next to the pillow.
The next day, Heidan slept well, but he was still awakened at dawn.
Because every time this time came, he would always hear his aunt and grandmother scolding him, asking him to feed the chickens and ducks and to go to the mountains to collect firewood.
Although he is young, he is the one who picks up most of the dry firewood needed by the Lin family in winter.
