Chapter 23 Happy Dividing 01
The system fell silent.
Bai Jing ignored it. She felt that the system might need to think about whether to continue to be bound to this useless host.
"Help me find the pheasant." Bai Jing said to the system again.
[Ding, based on the host's current ability, a pheasant range has been planned for the host. The cost is one hundred yuan.]
Bai Jing was satisfied when she heard about the deduction.
After all, a pheasant is ten yuan, so a flock of pheasants is worth the price.
In the process of catching pheasants, a lot of pheasant eggs were found. Bai Jing asked the system to scan the good and bad ones and put all the good ones into the space.
The backpack is full and there is not much room left.
Bai Jing returned with a full load.
When she returned home, she heard a lot of talking. After listening carefully, she found that both her second uncle and third uncle had come.
The children were not there, so the only voices that could be heard were those of the adults.
"Mom, aunts, I'm back." Bai Jing happily carried a basket with a pheasant on her back and entered her backyard through the back door.
Her voice also alarmed the five people who were busy in the kitchen.
"Wow, Xiaojing is so capable. There are so many pheasants. It seems that there are many pheasants in the mountains behind your house." The second uncle was closest to Bai Jing. He strode towards his little niece. What caught his eyes were naturally the pheasants in her hands.
Then there was the backpack behind her that was almost as big as her. "Oh my God, where did all this come from, Xiaojing?" Uncle Bai looked nervous when he saw the food in the backpack.
"Uncle, don't think too much." Uncle was good in every way except that he couldn't hide the truth. Maybe he suffered too much when he was young, and he died of cirrhosis of the liver before he was sixty. He died in pain. It was only a short month from the time he was diagnosed to his death.
If she had the chance, she didn't want her second uncle to die so early. "I dug these out from tree holes and mouse holes in the mountains. If you don't believe me, come with me this afternoon."
If she remembered correctly, her second and third uncles' families were almost out of food.
Put your hope in the mountains.
"Well, no, I can't do that. Second uncle has a lot of work points this year. I can borrow some food from the village to get through this." He couldn't rob his niece of her food. The worst that could happen was that he would go to the mountain behind his house and maybe he could find it.
Bai Jing could see that Second Uncle was excited, but also that he was conflicted. "Alright, the mountain is so big. I've only found the area behind my house. If Second and Third Uncles are free, how about we go to the opposite mountain this afternoon?"
As she spoke, she pointed to the mountain to the right of her house. The mountain was not high and there was a small path leading up to it. However, it was said that there were wild boars deep in the mountain, so few people in the team went there.
It's a good deal for her. If she can find a wild boar, can't she help her second and third uncles?
The more I think about it, the more beautiful it becomes.
Back in the kitchen, the food that Bai Jing brought back was also seen by everyone.
"So many!" The two aunts expressed envy.
"Aunts, do you want to go together this afternoon?" Anyway, there was nothing to do in the afternoon, and my mother didn't have to go to work, so it was a rare moment of leisure.
"go."
The two agreed without thinking.
However, the two uncles disagreed and said, "Why go? If you want to go, go to the back mountain by yourself." Their words sounded a bit harsh.
The two aunts calmed down after being yelled at.
Yes, if they go, Xiaojing’s food will be reduced. No matter how difficult their family is, there are men to support them. But forget it, they won’t go to their sister-in-law’s house.
"Your uncle is right. We won't go with you this afternoon. We'll go around the back of the house by ourselves."
Several houses are built next to the mountain, and there are forests behind the houses. If you want to go into the mountains, you don’t really need to go anywhere else.
But it’s not easy to be like Bai Jing.
Bai Jing naturally saw what her uncles and aunts were thinking. "Second Uncle, Third Uncle, if you keep doing this, I will ignore you. Besides, these are all taken out from tree holes and mouse holes. They are not our family's food. Why are you still feeling sorry for them?"
"The mountain is so big, I can't possibly empty it all by myself. You think too highly of me."
In order to persuade her uncles and aunts, Bai Jing gave it her all.
Luo Chunhua also joined in the persuasion.
This persuaded the four people to go to the opposite mountain together in the afternoon.
When asked why my second and third uncles wanted to go together, it was naturally because they were worried about the women going up the mountain.
For lunch, we had multi-grain rice with stewed old hen and stir-fried pheasant with chili peppers. Although they were all chicken, they were quite oily and everyone was very satisfied with the meal.
"It would be nice if I could always eat like this." Uncle Bai touched his slightly bulging belly, savoring the aroma of rice and meat.
"What the hell are you thinking about? Stop daydreaming here. Don't you even think about whose blessing you are relying on to fill your stomach?" Aunt Bai rolled her eyes at her man and then opened fire.
Uncle Bai was a henpecked man, so he just smiled foolishly and didn't say anything.
Aunt Bai and Luo Chunhua laughed at the two people bickering.
After Bai Jing had eaten and drunk her fill, she didn't immediately clean up the dishes. Instead, she took out the money she had snatched back in the morning.
Of course, when she was on the mountain, she also looked at the yellow strips that were stored in the system space.
They were packed in a box. Each one was not big, weighing about half a pound. They looked like they were specially shaped when doing business on a long journey.
There are twenty in total, a whole box.
Seeing the things on the table, everyone sat up straight. "Are these the things you brought back from your grandfather's house?" Luo Chunhua couldn't help but ask first.
Bai Jing nodded, "Well, Mom, look, this is money, but there are no tickets. Please count it." Bai Jing handed the money to her mother.
Although Second Aunt Bai and Third Aunt Bai went with Bai Jing, they didn't really see the money and the box.
"Xiao Jing, you brought this box back too? Why didn't I see it on the way?"
It’s such a big box, it’s impossible to hide it in clothes if I want to bring it back.
Bai Jing patted the cloth bag she carried on her back and said, "Of course I put it here and brought it back." Fortunately, she was prepared in advance, otherwise it would be difficult to fool her.
I opened the box and was like, “Oh my god.”
Several surprised voices were heard.
Bai Jing immediately closed the box, "This, this is a gold bar?" Bai Jing pointed at the box and said in a stuttering tone.
The others had never seen such a good thing before and were all scared.
Bai Jing didn't wait for their answer and her expression changed immediately. "Huh, Grandpa has such good things at home, but he always comes to steal our things. He really is a good grandfather."
Hearing the resentment in her daughter's words, Luo Chunhua patted her shoulder.
Not to mention my daughter, she was also very angry and furious.
I originally thought that the old man was scheming against his sons because his family was poor.
Unexpectedly, he was so vicious.
"Second brother, do you know?"
Men’s thoughts are simpler. If these things really existed at home, then why were they treated like that back then?
Second Uncle Bai shook his head, his tone filled with anger. "You know shit! Damn it! I suffered so much just for that little bit of father-son relationship. I even endured it when he stole the children's food. And yet he treated us like this with so much stuff. He's really a father."
Uncle Bai was silent now.
