Neither of them had ever been on the black market.
Lin Dachuan was wearing a military uniform and it was inconvenient for him to ask, so he walked around for a long time but still couldn't buy any oil.
"I'm sorry, I thought I'd find it."
"I've heard before that there are people around here secretly getting oil from other places to sell, but I've never looked for them."
Luo Yunqing looked guilty.
If I hadn't proposed it, I wouldn't have wasted so much time.
Lin Dachuan shook his head: "I can't blame you, you mean well."
"If I can't give it to Mom this time, I'll ask my elder sister to buy it for me during the Qingming Festival."
"Mother loves us and knows we didn't mean to withhold the tribute from her. She will definitely not blame us."
When talking about Aunt Lin, Luo Yunqing's heart softened.
She knew that the reason why she was obsessed with Lin Dachuan in her previous life had a lot to do with Aunt Lin and the three sisters of the Lin family.
In a word, she, who lacks relatives, longs for the affection given to her by Aunt Lin and her three daughters.
"Brother Dachuan, let me make some pickled cabbage and pork buns for Auntie."
"After she got sick, she had no appetite and only ate a few bites at each meal."
Hearing this, Lin Dachuan felt even more sad.
"Mother... couldn't stand it anymore, right?"
"I heard that people who suffer from serious diseases will eventually die from the pain."
That's right.
Luo Yunqing has been studying medicine since childhood and has witnessed the condition of many cancer patients before their death.
Closing her eyes, she nodded: "Yeah, it's very uncomfortable, especially in the later stages."
"Eat, I can't eat."
"Sleep, can't sleep."
"But even so, the sauerkraut and pork buns I made were enough to stop the pain, and she could still eat two."
"It was just that meat coupons were too difficult to get at that time."
"If you hadn't asked your comrades to send back some meat coupons, you wouldn't have seen meat once a month."
"Also, Auntie likes to eat pig's head."
"She said that was the most delicious. In her next life, she hopes to be born into a good family and be able to enjoy a delicious pig's head."
Hearing this, Lin Dachuan's eyes turned red.
He thought, he was so unfilial!
[My mother suffered so much for him, yet he couldn't even satisfy her oral desires once before she died!]
He took a long breath and clenched his fists.
Lin Dachuan spoke in a hoarse voice: "Then let's go see if there are any pig heads for sale."
"If not, I'll go into the mountains later."
Go into the mountains?
Luo Yunqing's heart was pounding: "You want to go hunting wild boars?"
Lin Dachuan nodded: "Well, if I can't buy it, I'll go hunt wild boars."
"At least let your mother taste her son's filial piety in the underworld!"
"no!"
Luo Yunqing blurted out without thinking: "It will be dark soon. It's too dangerous in the mountains."
"There are more wild animals coming out at night, especially in the middle of winter."
"If you run into a pack of wolves, you don't even know if you'll get eaten by them, let alone hunt wild boars."
He was eaten by a wolf?
Lin Dachuan is not someone that wolves can easily eat.
He is a natural hunter. Once he enters the mountains and forests, he is like a dragon entering the sea.
Lin Dachuan would naturally not tell Luo Yunqing that he once dealt with more than a dozen hungry wolves alone.
"Don't worry, as long as you don't go into the inner mountains, you generally won't encounter wolves."
"I'll just wander around the nearby hills. If I'm lucky, I might run into one or two wild boars."
In those days, supplies were scarce and food was in short supply everywhere. The same was true for wild boars, which had very little to eat.
A big collective, a big pot of food, people rang the bell to go to work and rang the bell to go home. All the people in the production team huddled together to get work points.
People were not allowed to do anything other than work in the production team.
The production team had regulations on how many peppers and pumpkins each family could plant.
If you dare to plant it privately, at the very least you will be fined food rations, and at the worst you will be criticized for cutting off your capitalist tail.
There are wastelands everywhere, so wild boars naturally have no place to find food.
Unable to find food, the wild boar had no choice but to wander around.
So, Lin Dachuan wanted to go for a walk in the mountains, maybe he could meet a wild boar coming down the mountain to look for food.
Facing Luo Yunqing's worry, he comforted her, "Don't worry, there are very few wolves now, and even if I encounter one, I'm not afraid of them."
There are usually no wolves near the mountains, but in this cold weather, who can guarantee that they won’t run out?
Moreover, it is not uncommon for wolf packs to appear in the mountains to the north.
No matter what, Luo Yunqing was worried about Lin Dachuan going into the mountains.
It is not easy for a country to train an officer!
If something happens... my three sisters will cry their hearts out.
Tomorrow is a big day. I heard from the old people that this day is the last time the dead return home.
After this time, they will be reincarnated, forget their past and start a new life.
If he couldn't get a satisfactory sacrifice, Luo Yunqing knew that Lin Dachuan would regret it for the rest of his life...
She felt a little regretful about what she had just said.
Suddenly, a light bulb went off in her head: "Brother Dachuan, I have an idea!"
"I can let Auntie taste the braised pig's head and the pickled cabbage pork buns."
As soon as these words fell, Lin Dachuan's eyes suddenly lit up: "Qingqing, what do you have in mind? Tell me quickly."
Luo Yunqing looked around and lowered his voice: "Go ask around, who has piglets for sale? I'll buy one and kill it!"
Buy piglets?
That's one way.
Although the weight of piglets including skin and hair is the same as meat, piglets are small after all, so the total price is cheaper.
Moreover, many piglets cannot grow big...
Lin Dachuan nodded: "Let's go back to my eldest sister's house. She should know. She is more familiar with it than us."
