Gao Guojing took the dried meat he had made and delivered it to the cowshed under the cover of night.
While Gao Guojing was talking to the others, Xia Jingxing rummaged through the jerky inside, took out a piece and ate it. It was fragrant, flavorful, and chewy. He would nibble on one whenever he had nothing to do, and his mouth would be full of flavor.
Xia Jingxing: "What kind of meat is this?"
Gao Guojing: "The one you're eating is venison jerky, these are pork jerky, and this is beef jerky. It's inconvenient for you to make things here, so we made them into jerky."
"You can take one out and eat it whenever you want. It's nutritious and delicious."
Xia Jingxing put his arm around his shoulder and said, "Good brother, once I'm free, I'll make sure you eat meat every day."
Xia Jingsheng picked up a piece of dried venison and started munching on it: "Did Duofu also hunt these wild deer and wild boars?"
When Gao Guojing brought over the wild beef and braised beef bones last time, he told them that the wild beef was hunted by Duofu.
Gao Guojing: "Yes, Duofu has improved a lot since we killed the wild buffalo last time. It's a pity we didn't encounter any wild sheep. We were thinking of using wild sheep to make hot pot and barbecue. We'll have to go up the mountain next time to try."
Xia Jingxing: "Can you come out tonight? I'll go up the mountain with you and see if we can find any wild sheep."
Xia Tai'an: "Jingxing, behave yourself. Don't think that just because you've practiced some martial arts, you can do anything. You can barely see the road at night. Did you invite Guojing into the mountains to deliver meat to the prey there?"
Xia Yuanqiang: "Guojing, don't listen to Jingxing. He's always looking for trouble. You guys should go into the mountains less often. If you encounter a large pack of wolves, you won't be able to escape. Don't risk your safety for a little meat."
With the obstruction of several elders in the Xia family, Xia Jingxing was unable to arrange for Gao Guojing to go into the mountains to look for sheep.
Gao Shujing planned to wait a couple of days after Duofu rested before going into the mountains to look for sheep, but Captain Huang arrived first.
Before he even entered the room, his loud voice came from outside: "Shujing, where are you?"
Yu Rujia, who was talking to Gao Shujing in front of the bicycle shed, replied, "Captain, over here."
Captain Huang came in: "You're here too, Yu Zhiqing. Oh, Dorje has grown up so much. Come here, let Uncle give him a hug."
Yu Rujia shoved Dorje into his arms: "Dorje, call him Uncle."
The little guy recognizes people, but he won't fuss when held by people his family allows him to. When he heard Yu Rujia's words, the non-verbal Dorje used two "ah ah" sounds to replace the word "uncle".
With its big, dark eyes, the little guy curiously looked at Captain Huang, then grinned at him, revealing his newly grown teeth. The little guy looked obedient and cuddly.
Captain Huang's heart softened completely. He picked up the little guy and tossed him around, saying, "You guys really know how to raise children. When Erdan was about Dorje's age, he was all black and very naughty."
“Once, Dahei brought a few puppies out to find food, and he mingled among the puppies, crawling very fast and snatching food from them.”
"Big Black gave birth to a completely black puppy that time. The rest of the puppies were either a little black or had yellow fur. We didn't notice it when it was mixed in with the others."
"It was Da Dan who said there was an extra black puppy. When we looked over, we found that the other black puppy was actually Er Dan. Yan Hong was so angry that she picked up the brat and gave him a good beating."
Babies around eight or nine months old are crawling very happily, and if you're not careful, they can crawl away and disappear from sight.
The Huang family didn't have as many members as the Yu family, so there were always people watching over Dorje.
Back then, no one was watching over Erdan. Once he gained his freedom, he explored new maps with great enthusiasm, curious about everything. Hanging out with other dogs was his normal routine.
Captain Huang revealed his son's past without any hesitation.
Doro and Doki tightly shut their mouths when they thought of that scene, afraid that they would burst out laughing.
Seeing that the two boys were holding back their laughter, Yu Rujia spoke up to break the joy, lest they actually laugh out loud and embarrass Captain Huang.
Yu Rujia: "Being naughty is good. Being naughty proves that you are physically strong. A good body is a benefit that money can't buy. So many people envy you for raising such a good child."
Captain Huang looked smug, but still complained, "That's true, but Erdan is too naughty. He's always up and down the mountain and down the river, never quiet. It's better to have a well-behaved child like Dorje."
Yu Rujia: "Boys are all like that. Dorje is just too young now and someone is watching him, so he can't be naughty. When he gets older and can run and jump, he might be even more naughty than Erdan."
Captain Huang thought of Dorje's older brothers. Putting aside the others, if Dorje were to be taken care of by that silly boy, Dorje would definitely surpass Erdanpi in the future.
No matter how mischievous Erdan was, he wouldn't recklessly charge at a wild boar out of ignorance. With this comparison, Captain Huang felt a strange sense of balance.
Captain Huang: "Our Dorje will always be well-behaved from now on, right, Dorje?"
The little dumpling let out a string of adorable laughs, as if to say that Captain Huang was right.
After playing with the children, Captain Huang got down to business: "Shujing, Director Lu from the steel mill called and said they bought two new machines from outside and would like you to come over and help inspect them."
Gao Shujing: "Did they mention a time?"
Captain Huang: "The machine has arrived. Go over when you have time."
Gao Shujing: "Then I'll go over there later."
After seeing Captain Huang off, Gao Shujing said a few words to Yu Rujia, then changed his clothes and went out.
Without Captain Huang, Duolu and Duoxi finally couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Duolu's chubby little face broke into a big smile: "When Brother Erdan comes next time, I'll tell him about this and see how he responds. It's hilarious that he's fighting with a dog for food."
Yu Rujia couldn't help but laugh: "Erdan was so young back then, how could he remember such things? If you go up to him and ask him, he'll definitely get angry."
Duoxi's eyes narrowed into slits as she smiled, revealing her adorable little teeth: "It's okay, Brother Erdan can't beat us."
Yu Rujia gave the little guy a flick on the forehead: "You can't laugh at him just because he can't beat you."
Dorji, nestled in his arms, didn't understand why his mother and brothers were laughing so happily, but that didn't stop the little guy from joining in. He grinned and let out a giggle to make his presence known.
Duoxi patted the little guy's tender face: "Duoji, don't worry, your fourth brother will keep a closer eye on you from now on and won't let you have a chance to fight with the dogs for food."
Little Ji blinked his big, innocent eyes, then reached out and grabbed Duo Xi's hand, trying to put it in his mouth. Duo Xi quickly pulled away, saying, "You can't eat Fourth Brother's hand."
Dorjee lived up to his reputation for being careless. Seeing his two younger brothers tugging at each other, he laughed and said, "Dorjee, you're so silly. We can't eat raw meat. We have to cook it first."
