The old man also handed over all the other matters in the village to Li Dazhuang to handle. Now, he was the only adult male left in his large family.
Although he is old, he is the main force in this family, and the old man has already taken out the family's "Type 38 rifle".
It was placed right next to his house, so that in case of an emergency, he could fire the gun at any time, and the old man would stay close at home.
Now he rarely leaves the courtyards of the two families, staying at home to look after his goddaughters and children, and of course, his wife.
As afternoon approached, many militiamen were mobilized in the town to wipe out the wolf pack.
Wei Mo and Li Xiuxiu were worried, afraid that Yu Jun's body would be discovered, and they were somewhat distracted while working.
Two days later, the captain said that the wolf pack had been driven away, and everyone was relieved.
Li Xiuxiu and Wei Mo also breathed a sigh of relief, which meant that those people had not found Yu Jun's body. The two looked at each other and smiled.
Li Xiuxiu walked up to Wei Mo, patted her head, and said...
"Don't worry, Aunt Xiuxiu will protect you if anything happens."
Wei Mo nodded obediently to the side, and Li Xiuxiu couldn't have been more adorable looking at Wei Mo's adorable face.
The matter has now come to a close, and Yu Jun's case is now completely closed.
Meanwhile, Wei Mo's family also started weaving Ula straw sandals. The brigade leader had no objection to this, because Old Master Yu was right there, so he had no right to speak.
The old man listened to Wei Mo's suggestion to weave Ula straw sandals for the family, since winter was coming soon and the winters in Northeast China were particularly cold, and many people's feet and hands would get frostbite and crack.
If you buy a pair of cheap straw sandals at this time, it will make the winter much easier. So the old man supports Wei Mo's decision, even if he doesn't sell them in town.
When the time comes, the Ula straw sandals will be distributed to the people in his village. And judging from the skill of the straw sandals woven by Weimona, the people's feet should be blessed this winter.
Buying a pair of cotton shoes might require saving up for a long time, but straw shoes made solely of Ula grass are a different story.
Everyone actually likes it, since it can keep you warm. The only problem is that most people don't know the technique, and even those who do know it don't make it very well or keep it very warm.
Therefore, after seeing the first pair of straw sandals woven by Wei Mo, the old man decided to support Wei Mo.
The family's straw sandal weaving business was in full swing, and Qian Manman, Wang Ling, and Yu Juan, seeing that there wasn't much wild grass, also started to gather wild grass from the wasteland.
This kind of Ula grass is quite warm when used to weave straw sandals. As the old saying goes in Northeast China, there are three treasures in Northeast China: ginseng, mink fur, and Ula grass.
The "Ula grass" refers to the grass used to weave straw sandals, which allowed people of that era to wear Ula straw sandals and no longer suffer from the cold.
However, due to some later reasons, Ula straw sandals disappeared from the historical stage. After cotton was no longer in limited supply, people stopped wearing Ula straw sandals.
In the eyes of elderly people in Northeast China, the three treasures of Northeast China have always been ginseng, mink fur, and Ula grass.
It was only later that the grass was replaced with ginseng, sable fur, and deer antlers.
However, in the hearts of the elderly, Ula grass holds a very high status.
Wei Mo has been much more well-behaved lately because everyone's knitting work hasn't been going very well, and there are many techniques involved.
Wei Mo had been teaching his family these skills, and while the others expressed doubt about his abilities, his mother helped him out of the predicament.
Wei's mother once said that Wei Mo liked to knit things, which he learned from that person.
"Wei Mo is really amazing. He knows so much at such a young age. He'll definitely have a good time finding a wife in the future."
"Yeah, how old was he back then? He'll definitely be even more amazing in the future."
No one had any objections to this; one could only say that Wei Mo was incredibly clever back then.
They learned so much at such a young age; even an adult like themselves couldn't compare to Wei Mo. Under Wei Mo's guidance, everyone gradually became familiar with the technique of weaving Ula straw sandals, and their weaving skills improved more and more.
As everyone's skills improved, Wei Mo was ready to go out. He had been at home for almost a week, and could only secretly recycle some Chinese herbs and fish. Sometimes there were no items left to recycle.
The speed at which Wei Mo accumulates money in the suggestion shop has slowed down significantly, and he needs to hunt other prey. Nowadays, apart from hunting birds in the garden, Wei Mo has basically stopped all activities.
Thinking of this, Wei Mo suddenly remembered the time he and several other female educated youths, including Li Xiuxiu, went to catch the big-eyed thief.
"Grandpa, let's go catch Big-Eyed Deer! It'll help rid the village of this pest!"
Seeing Wei Mo's frustrated little eyes, Master Yu nodded, and then the whole family set off together to catch the big-eyed thief on the hill!
...
If anyone is happy about Yu Jun's disappearance, it's undoubtedly Zhao Haixia. Zhao Haixia even moved into Yu Jun's house.
Because Yu Jun is an old bachelor, although the house was dirty and messy, it is now quite nice after he made improvements.
Yu Jun had no relatives, so Zhao Haixia moved in openly and without any problems. The captain frowned at this.
Finally, they found Wang Hao. He was about to marry Zhao Haixia, and the brigade leader didn't want to say much. However, Wang Hao needed to use some of his work points to buy Yu Jun's house, while the grain would belong to the brigade and be distributed to the people.
Yu Jun's house was compensated to the brigade in the form of work points, and Wang Hao agreed. The two of them have already obtained the necessary certificates in the village.
Then the two of them moved into Yu Jun's house together and took all of Yu Jun's remaining food and other things for themselves.
With the formalities completed, the two were officially married, a fact that Li Taiping and Zhou Fen from the educated youth compound were very happy to see.
After all, Wang Hao and Zhao Haixia flirted every day and night, and occasionally they would stumble upon those awkward scenes.
Even when the two of them were rolling around on the kang (a heated brick bed), they would sometimes roll onto their own blankets, which was incredibly disgusting.
When they learned that the two had moved out, Li Taiping and Zhou Fen breathed a sigh of relief. Li Taiping's body was not actually suitable for working in the fields, but he still had money and was quick-witted.
So he always tried to find easy jobs whenever he went out to work. He didn't care too much about how many work points he earned, but he also needed to find an excuse for the things he secretly bought on the black market.
Li Taiping now frequently takes leave to go to the town's black market to trade goods, since his family was originally wealthy and he has no shortage of money.
Zhou Fen, on the other hand, has a reputation for being honest and hardworking, and many older women in the brigade have their eyes on her.
After all, it's not easy to find a daughter-in-law who is so capable. However, Zhou Fen refused them all, saying, "Isn't it better to live alone?"
Li Taiping and Zhou Fen had heard of the weaving group in the village, and when they learned that it was organized by their little kid, their eyes widened in surprise.
Not only that, it is said that the current Ministry of Fisheries owes a great deal to that little brat.
Li Taiping wanted to talk to that kid, but he was busy with work and other things, so Li Taiping couldn't find the time.
Zhou Fen, on the other hand, felt somewhat lonely. After all, she was a girl living alone here and wanted to find someone to talk to. The best targets, of course, were her fellow educated youth, such as Li Xiuxiu.
The two of them finally decided to take a day off together and go to Wei Mo's house!
