Chapter 297 Shedding the Title of "Spendthrift Man"



When Yang Yufeng mentioned meat, the sisters-in-law were no longer afraid and all crowded around.

Looking at the dark fur, Jiang Xiuhong suppressed her nausea, reached out and touched the creature's paws, then lifted its head to take a look.

"Oh my, Meijun, come and take a look! It really is a bear, a wild bear."

"This must weigh several hundred pounds, right? And it would take a donkey and a horse to pull it."

"At least five or six hundred pounds. Look how fat this is! It's all top-quality fat. You can't even buy such good quality meat at the meat stalls in the county."

The women were no longer afraid and began to pet the wild bear.

At this time of year, Tibetan bears are fattening up for winter, and they will hibernate until April or May of the following year when it gets cold.

With such a long hibernation period, it wouldn't be possible to survive without a thick layer of fat, which explains why this giant bear is so heavy.

Sun Manling touched the bear's large paw, then turned around and asked in astonishment:

"Xiao Lu, did you shoot this bear?"

"Yes, my little flower was injured by this bear. How dare it hurt my little flower? This can't be left like this, so I took a gun and shot the bear."

Lu Fangfang deliberately spoke in a nonchalant manner.

She wanted to use her sisters-in-law to spread the word: anyone who dares to have bad intentions towards her little one should think twice before acting.

"Look, there are several bullet holes in the bear's head. I shot it with my gun. This guy ruined my little flower's face. I fired three shots at it, and its brains were splattered out..."

The women's wives were horrified when they heard this.

With a bear this big, if your aim isn't good, and you miss even a little bit, you're done for.

It's so fat and thick-skinned that it wouldn't kill you if you hit it elsewhere, but if it caught up to you, it could kill you with a single slap.

And they knew that the bears in the Qilian Mountains were capable of eating people.

"I had a dagger in my hand, and I cut it open from the belly. The bear's internal organs and blood gushed out..."

Yang Yufeng's face turned pale as she listened, and she quietly took a step back, distancing herself from Lu Fangfang.

"I'm still not satisfied with this! How dare it hurt my Little Flower! I'll eat its flesh and drink its blood..."

"Xiao Lu, you...you mustn't say that, it's disgusting to me."

"Yes, yes, my little one is still here. Please don't say anything, or you'll scare him."

The women turned around and looked at Big Bear again. What Little Lu said was really creepy.

Zhuang Mingcheng stood beside his wife, his brows furrowing as he listened.

If you didn't know better, you'd think his wife was a savage who ate raw meat and drank blood.

He vaguely understood what his wife meant, but this was going too far, so he quickly tugged at her clothes.

"Cough cough."

Lu Fangfang clicked her tongue for a moment before shutting up.

Thinking back to what I just said, it wasn't too much of an exaggeration. After what happened today, anyone who dares to have bad intentions towards the little ones will have to think twice.

"Awoo~"

"Meow~"

Little Flower and Little Tibetan Fox squatted to one side, looking very impatient.

Seeing that the two of them still weren't heading home, the two little guys couldn't stay still any longer. They called out to Lu Fangfang and ran towards the house.

Lu Fangfang smiled helplessly.

Her sisters-in-law were all gathered around, so she couldn't send them away.

After waiting a while, seeing that her sisters-in-law were still having a heated discussion, even talking about how to eat bear paws, she had no choice but to give her husband a wink.

"Ahem, ladies, we have things to do at home, so we'll head back now."

As Zhuang Mingcheng spoke, he slapped the donkey's rump.

"Oh...ah..."

The little wild donkey couldn't wait any longer. It brayed, squeezed past the women, and started pulling the cart.

Seeing this, the chestnut horse next to it also began to exert its strength.

"Roll, roll..."

"Hey? Xiao Lu, Deputy Commander Zhuang, stay a little longer. We've never seen such a big bear before. Let me broaden my horizons."

"No, it's getting late, we have things to do when we get back, maybe next time."

Lu Fangfang waved her hand and quickly followed the little wild donkey.

The women, holding their children, gazed at the bear in the car with immense envy.

Several hundred kilograms of bear meat, can Xiao Lu and Deputy Commander Zhuang really eat that much?

"Smack."

"You stubborn little donkey, hurry up."

When they arrived at their doorstep, Xiao Hua and the little Tibetan fox were already waiting. They excitedly circled around the two of them when they saw that they had finally returned.

"Alright, alright, I'll open the door now."

Lu Fangfang took out her key, unlocked the door, and pushed the gate open forcefully.

Looking up, she saw that the yard was full of things, including several burlap sacks.

"Um?"

Lu Fangfang was taken aback and immediately turned to look at her husband.

"Comrade Zhuang Mingcheng, have you squandered money again? Where did all this stuff come from? And where did you get so much money?"

Forehead……

Zhuang Mingcheng scratched his head, somewhat embarrassed, and said, "I just received my salary, but I haven't had time to give it to you yet."

"Fangfang, I'm not wasting money. I finally made it to the provincial capital, so I bought you some snacks and some tonics. We're having a wedding banquet soon, so I also bought some things to use."

He let the stubborn little donkey and the jujube-red horse pull the donkey cart into the yard, and then he quickly pulled his wife to the two sacks in the yard.

"Fangfang, look what this is!"

Zhuang Mingcheng pointed to the two bags of fertilizer powder he had brought back and smiled.

With this thing around, he was sure his wife wouldn't say anything more.

"This is……"

Lu Fangfang bent down, reached out and touched it, feeling that it was loose inside, and the texture was like white sugar.

Quite surprised, she turned the bag over and saw five large characters written on it: "Ammonium bicarbonate fertilizer... Is this fertilizer?"

Fertilizer! It's fertilizer!

She quickly turned around, her eyes sparkling as she looked at her husband, "Where did this come from?"

“I went to the chemical base in the provincial capital to catch spies. After I finished, I went to their leader to plead for the ties. I wanted to buy a few more bags, but the base was too stingy. They only gave me two bags and said they had nothing else.”

Two bags are enough, that's enough.

Lu Fangfang was overjoyed. She noticed that the bags were labeled as weighing fifty jin (25 kg), and two bags would weigh a hundred jin (200 kg). If she used them sparingly, it would be enough for two mu (0.33 hectares) of land.

When she uses the farmyard manure she's saved up, the yield on the wasteland next year is guaranteed to double.

In those days, even getting food was difficult, so she wasn't afraid of fertilizers or anything like that.

Moreover, ammonium bicarbonate is a nitrogen fertilizer that doesn't damage the soil. Compound fertilizers aren't available domestically; they all have to be imported.

Seeing his wife's joyful expression, Zhuang Mingcheng felt very satisfied.

He asked with a smile, "Fangfang, am I still a spendthrift man?"

"No, no, if anyone tells me you're a spendthrift again, I'll get angry with them. You're the man who made your fortune."
