Duoshou grinned, not with narrowed eyes, but with a genuine smile. Although the little guy had grown into a little adult at heart, he still longed for recognition from others.
Wei Han agreed that he should take responsibility for his injuries, which meant that he recognized Wei Han's medical skills.
Duo Shou: "Uncle Wei, don't worry. I've learned a lot about pharmacology from my aunt and have a lot of practical experience. I'm sure I can help you recover smoothly."
His so-called practice was to practice among his brothers and friends at home.
Wei Han was injured while trying to stop the wolves from entering the village, and the militia team responsible for the safety of the village is responsible for it.
Having barely managed to save a life, Wei Han was further injured due to his own foolish son's negligence, nearly losing his life.
To make amends, Li Dashan suggested to Captain Huang that he lead a team into the mountains to bring back more meat for Wei Hanjie and to add some dishes for the upcoming Spring Festival.
When the hunting party returned, Wei Hanjie was given several pheasants and rabbits, more than ten catties of pork, and a whole slaughtered adult wild goat, totaling nearly a hundred catties of meat. He was the person in the brigade who received the most meat.
Even though the Yu family received the second-largest share of meat, their total meat amounted to only a little over sixty jin (approximately 30 kg). And that was only the amount of game that Gao Shujing and Duofu received when they went into the mountains with the rest of the group.
Because of this hunting trip, the team deliberately didn't slaughter the pigs that were supposed to be killed on the 26th of the lunar year, saying they would save them for the spring plowing season.
After more than a week of rest, Wei Hanjie is able to get up and move around, but he cannot overexert himself or lift heavy objects to avoid aggravating his wound.
After Wei Han received the sheep, he asked Li Guodong to bring them to the Yu family's house, and he followed behind, walking in step by step.
Yu Rujia, who was waiting in the infirmary, was the first to see the sheep that Li Guodong brought in.
Yu Rujia: "This sheep was given to Wei Zhiqing by the team to help him recover. Why did you bring it to my house?"
Wei Hanjie: "Officer Gao and Yu Zhiqing saved my life. This is my thank-you gift. Please accept it."
Yu Rujia: "This gift of thanks is too generous. If I dare to accept it and others find out, they'll curse me to death!"
Both Wei Han and others sacrificed themselves for others, and were seriously injured. If Yu Rujia were to even turn away the sheep that the brigade was giving him to help recover, would he still be human?
Besides, their family now has an excessive amount of meat.
This year, we made several hundred kilograms of cured pork, several hundred kilograms of dried meat, and several hundred kilograms of fresh meat in the ice bucket.
Some of the meat was delivered by people from the cowshed, and some was slaughtered by Duofu and Gao Shujing in the mountains.
Some of the meat was delivered from pigs slaughtered by other brigades on the 26th of the lunar year.
Knowing that his family liked to eat pig offal and bones, several brigades sent them over.
It's less of a gift and more of a sale. Although pig offal isn't worth much, it's still a dime a pound. A cleaned pig offal can weigh over 30 pounds, which is more than three yuan.
If Gao Shujing doesn't pay, and someone with ulterior motives takes note and reports it, that would be terrible. Their family isn't short of money, so there's no need for them to take that risk.
Gao Shujing explained the reasons in detail to the team leaders who delivered the pig offal, and praised the pig offal for being delicious, letting them know that he was really happy that they had delivered the goods, so he charged them the market price.
In this way, each brigade knew what to do, and whenever they slaughtered a pig raised by the brigade, they would send over the offal that had been thoroughly washed.
He could turn the wastewater into money while also befriending Gao Shujing.
After all, pig offal tastes good if you're willing to use a lot of feed, but there are very few households in the countryside that are willing to use a lot of feed. If the offal can't be sold, the cadres of each brigade have to pay for it themselves.
Selling it to Gao Shujing would be good for everyone.
The Yu family received nearly 300 jin of pig offal this year. Among them, a large pig farmer from Xiafen Brigade slaughtered four pigs on the 26th of the year and sent more than 100 jin of pig offal to the Yu family.
With the addition of fresh meat and meat hunted by the whole team in the mountains, two large ice buckets were not enough to hold it all, so they specially asked Huang Dazhuang to make another large ice bucket.
It is worth mentioning that in the first half of the year, Yu Rujia took Huang Xiaohua to Xiafen Brigade to check on the pigs. After returning, she asked Huang Xiaohua to deliver medicine to the brigade a few times, and that's how she and Ma Songhua hit it off.
Huang Dazhuang and his wife were very satisfied with their son-in-law, Ma Songhua. He was capable, lived nearby, and had voluntarily gone to the countryside to support rural development. Unlike some educated youth who did all sorts of messy things just to return to the city.
Huang Xiaodui married him, so she can go home anytime she wants.
Captain Xu was also very happy that the two had come together. Huang Xiaohua was a student of Ru Jia, and even if she only learned a little bit, it was enough for their brigade. Not only could she watch people, but their pigs would also have an extra layer of protection.
Captain Xu has already given the word that once Huang Xiaohua arrives, if she's willing, she can become the team doctor for the Xiafen Brigade, receiving the same treatment as Yu Rujia in the Shangfen Brigade: five yuan a month plus full work points every day.
So when Huang Xiaohua and Ma Songhua got together, it was a cause for celebration for several families.
Seeing that Ru Jia was adamant about not accepting the sheep, Wei Han changed his tune: "Well then, the New Year is just around the corner, and it'll be lonely for me to spend it alone. Could we celebrate the New Year together this year?"
"Consider this sheep my food source; you can provide me with food for three days."
Yu Rujia hesitated. Logically, since Wei Han was injured, they, as neighbors who lived closer to him than others, should take extra care of him.
Moreover, he agreed to be Duoshou's guinea pig. Although it was just a matter of applying medicine, Li Guodong would definitely have insisted on having Yu Rujia go and keep an eye on things without his support.
Now that Wei Han has relented, Yu Rujia only went to check on him every day for the first few days, and then left it to Duoshou, going to check on him every three days herself.
He brought fifty or sixty pounds of mutton just to eat for three days; refusing him outright would seem rather heartless.
Just as Yu Rujia was hesitating, Duo Le ran out excitedly, hugged her leg, and said in a soft, coquettish voice, "Mom, please promise Uncle Wei, okay? Uncle Wei is so pitiful spending the New Year alone."
The three brothers, Duolu, Duoxi, and Duoji, all admired martial prowess. That night, twelve wolves were killed. Wei Han was surrounded and killed by the wolf pack, but he managed to kill one wolf and injure several others. From the bottom of their hearts, they believed that Wei Han was the same kind of people as them.
So, apart from Duofu, who was the older child, the other little ones often went to play with him.
Wei Han knew that Xia Jingxing had saved him. Since his injuries hadn't healed and it wasn't convenient for him to go to Xia Jingxing, he took extra care of the children at home.
After spending a week or two together, the kids developed feelings for Wei Han.
Faced with Xiao Baozi's request, and considering Wei Hanjie's character and the meat his family had received that day, Yu Rujia felt that it wouldn't be a big problem to let Wei Hanjie join in during the New Year's period.
Yu Rujia suggested, "If Wei Zhiqing is willing, how about having dinner at my house for three days: New Year's Eve, the second day of the Lunar New Year, and the third day of the Lunar New Year?"
