Chapter 6 Good Luck
The next morning, as soon as Jiang Fengnian and his friends got off the kang, they all felt different from before.
It was as if a sense of relaxation was flowing through their bodies.
It was simply refreshing!
Unlike in the past, they always felt as if there was something on the beams, pressing them so that they couldn't breathe and wanted to sigh at every turn.
Now their chests were no longer stuffy, and even their faces were much brighter than before.
When Sun Chunxue and Li Qiqiao got up, it was also the first time they slept so soundly. Both of them had smiles on their faces and looked very happy.
It happened that the family had just sold grain, and Feng gave each of them two hundred coins and allowed them to go back to her parents' home in two days.
So the two sisters-in-law were in a good mood and got up early to cook.
Jiang Fengnian and Jiang Fenghu were very diligent. They ate a few mouthfuls of rice and then hurried to the fields to harvest straw.
The autumn harvest had just ended, and there were not many villagers working in the fields. Jiang Fengnian stretched his arms in the morning light and was about to hand the seven-star rake in his hand to Jiang Fenghu.
At this time, he heard a "hum hum" from behind.
Before Jiang Fengnian could react, a wild boar cub sauntered into the field, sniffed around, and began to dig up the straw on the ground.
"Brother, look behind you, a wild boar cub ran into our field!" Jiang Fenghu was shocked and his eyes suddenly widened.
"Huzi, you must have gotten up so early in the morning that you are seeing things." Jiang Fengnian still didn't believe it, thinking that his second brother was lying to him.
But when he turned around, he saw that there was actually a wild boar in the field, which looked to be about 50 to 60 kilograms.
This is enough to feed the whole family for several months.
Jiang Fengnian's head was buzzing.
No way... The mountains in Daliu Village are poorer than people, and even bird eggs are hard to find. How can a wild boar run down the mountain!
"Brother, if you don't catch it, it will run away!" At this time, Jiang Fenghu had already rushed over.
"Our family has been plagued by mold for many years, but I didn't expect to get lucky today. Okay, catch it!" Jiang Fengnian shuddered, then rake it over with a rake.
Fortunately, it was a half-grown wild boar, and the two brothers, each with a rake, were able to deal with it easily, and soon the piglet was beaten unconscious.
After they were done, while no villagers were watching, Jiang Fengnian lifted the two front hooves, and Jiang Fenghu grabbed the two hind hooves, and they went home excitedly one after the other.
"Mom, look what my brother and I caught!"
"It's a wild boar! A wild boar heavier than our fifth son, and it ran to the field by itself!" Jiang Fenghu shouted happily as he entered the yard.
Feng was scooping out millet from the jar, counting to see how many meals were enough for the young lady.
At first, she thought she had misheard.
When Feng opened the door after picking her ears, she unexpectedly saw a wild boar cub in the yard, lying at Jiang Fengnian's feet, panting.
Feng was surprised and happy at the same time, and ran out in a hurry, even losing one of her shoes.
"Big brother, did you really catch this wild boar in the field? How could such a good thing happen? Don't lie to me."
Jiang Fengnian picked it up for her with a smile: "Mom, the second brother and I were also shocked at the time. Don't you think it's strange? How could a wild boar go into someone else's field?"
Feng touched her throbbing chest, and her mouth almost smiled behind her ears.
It was more than strange.
It was simply a blessing from heaven!
Now there has been a drought for three years, and many families can't even get enough food, let alone see such a fat wild boar cub.
At this time, Sun Chunxue, Li Qiqiao, Feng Jing and Feng Miao also hurried out of the house.
They had long forgotten when they last ate pork, and now they were all very happy, their eyes almost shining.
Especially the fifth child Jiang Fengmiao, he stretched out his dirty little hand, secretly wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth, and looked at Feng greedily.
Feng knew that the family should also be well fed.
So he waved his hand and said: "Big brother and second brother, go and kill the pig quietly, don't alarm others. After that, we will have a meal ourselves, and take the rest to the city to sell for money."
Nowadays, people can hardly have a full meal, let alone raise livestock.
The prices of pork and mutton outside were extremely high.
Feng couldn't afford to raise pigs or buy meat, and now she had a rare opportunity to eat meat. She didn't want to be money-conscious, so she had to let her family eat some first.
"Okay, mother!"
Jiang Fengnian and Jiang Fenghu rubbed their hands happily when they heard that they could leave some food.
One of them went to close the door, and the other went to sharpen the knife, and then they started to work!
Sun Chunxue also picked up a bucket of water and poured it into the big pot to boil it, so that she could keep it for washing the pig skin.
"Mom, let's save some more to make bacon, so that we can store it for a long time, and we can have meat to cook during the New Year, so that the fourth and fifth children won't drool every time they smell the stewed meat from the second room." Sun Chunxue looked at Feng pleadingly.
Li Qiqiao also smiled and said, "Yes, mother, when we pickle the sauerkraut in the future, cut half of it and stew it with the bacon, and add some vermicelli. Just eat it while sitting on the kang in winter, and your body and stomach will be warm, not to mention how comfortable it is."
Feng was also unambiguous: "Okay, then let's save two pieces of back elbow meat and a fan of ribs to make bacon. Save two big bones and use them to stew soup, so that our Nuobao can nourish his body."
Thinking that his sister would have bone soup to drink, Jiang Fengjing happily went to help his brothers.
Jiang Fengmiao was like a little kid, swinging his overlong sleeves and jumping around in the yard.
"That's great, my sister drinks the soup while I lick the bowl, so we can have meat to eat during the New Year! By the way, mother, can the bacon be made spicier... Lao Wu wants to eat spicy food that makes his nose run!"
Jiang Fengjing glanced at him with disdain: "You are already running a big nose, so dirty, wipe it quickly before talking."
For a while, the sounds of sharpening knives, boiling water, and laughing and playing came one after another in the Jiang family yard.
Xiao Nuobao heard the laughter outside and woke up at this time.
"Well, I'm lucky... I caught a pig?"
That's right.
Xiao Nuobao squinted his eyes and giggled, and his silver-like saliva almost flowed onto the pillowcase.
Now that there is no unlucky ghost in the house, good luck will naturally come.
As for the second wife and Old Madam Jiang, they have been found by the unlucky ghost again, so they can only wait for trouble in the future...
