No wonder Liu Gang will become rich in the future, he is very proactive!
That night, he took his three younger brothers up the mountain.
Although the family is poor, there is no shortage of manpower.
This is how it is in the countryside. No one can bully their family just because they are poor. After all, no one can beat these four men.
Why do people in rural areas want to have more children, especially more boys?
Often this is also their confidence.
Everyone is poor.
In the end, if there is any dispute, it will be a fight with fists.
The four of them climbed up the mountain under the moonlight. Liu Gang led the way and chopped branches with a sickle. They walked cautiously, carefully listening to the sounds they heard.
The night in the mountains is very quiet, with only the occasional chirping of insects and croaking of frogs.
Liu Gang took his brothers to a bamboo forest and found traces of animal life there.
He instructed his brothers, "Dig here."
This time they came up to set a trap.
Liu Jian and Liu Qiang started digging with the shovels in their hands.
Liu Gang and Liu Xiangdong were preparing a trap nearby.
Cut some bamboo and make a large cover on the pit.
It would be best if an animal stepped on it and fell into it, and couldn't climb out.
So the pit needs to be dug deep.
He instructed Liu Xiangdong on how to weave bamboo, and then went to Liu Qiang and Liu Jian to help dig the hole.
The hole we need to dig today is big, so it would be best if we could catch a wild boar.
If there are no wild boars, rabbits, pheasants, etc., that will also be fine.
He planned not to take a nap during the day, but to go shoot birds and rummage through their nests, perhaps even getting a few bird eggs.
(Friends mentioned: In the hard times, stealing bird eggs is not recommended now.)
After finishing their work, they went down the mountain, found a small river, and took a bath in it.
The brothers are of one mind, and as long as the eldest brother says something, they will immediately follow suit.
Liu Qiang has been in a bad mood these two days.
Liu Gang nudged him and said, "Tell me, big brother, what's going on these days?"
The youngest, Liu Xiangdong, quickly answered, "I know. The girl he liked married someone else."
After hearing what he said, Liu Qiang scooped up some water and splashed it at him, "You're such a leaky mouth."
Liu Gang asked, "Why haven't I heard you mention this before?"
Liu Qiang said embarrassedly, "I don't like her much either. Besides, with our family's current situation, we can't afford to get married."
This is another motivation that makes Liu Gang feel that he must get rich.
Although he didn't say it, he was worried about it.
My three younger brothers are all getting married: Liu Qiang is 22, Liu Jian is 19, and Liu Xiangdong is 16.
If the family doesn't make changes, nothing else will happen.
Even if there is a girl who wants to get married, there is no house for her to live in.
Now the three brothers still live in the same room.
Originally, Liu Gang and Liu Qiang shared a room, and Liu Jian and Liu Xiangdong shared a room.
But since Liu Gang got married, Liu Qiang naturally moved out and lived with his younger brothers.
Thinking of this, Liu Gang’s desire to make money became even stronger.
Now is the era of land distribution and grain payment, but he went to the neighboring village and secretly learned from their experience. Some people can still make a lot of money by doing it secretly.
Nowadays, many places require various invoices to buy things. However, some agricultural products are gradually becoming invoice-free.
As long as you can get something good, you can sell it on the black market.
Moreover, there are many comrades in the city, and he can ask them if the unit needs to purchase something, and he will help to make it.
Thinking of this, he felt a little relieved.
The muddled days seemed to have been sorted out tonight.
He has to start fighting for himself and his family!
After taking a shower outside and washing their clothes, the brothers went home together.
Although the eldest brother didn't say anything, his actions showed that they had hope for the future.
When Liu Gang returned home in the evening, he entered the house. There was no light on, so he thought Wang Fang had already fallen asleep.
Liu Gang took off all his wet clothes, and taking advantage of the moonlight pouring in through the window, he felt for his own clothes and changed into dry ones. He took the wet ones out and hung them under the eaves to dry.
Came back and lay down.
I thought about Uncle Fugui's reminder today, telling his wife to eat more, especially meat. He also wanted to feed the chickens, and ensure that the milk she would feed was nutritious. I also thought about Xiaoxia's letter, telling Xiaofang not to be too hard on herself.
He wondered, had he wronged her?
But it seems like he didn't give her anything.
But today he gave most of his money to his mother to buy things. He will give her some when he earns some money.
The two of them had zero communication.
The next day, when Wang Fang got up, the man sleeping on the single bed had left again.
She is going to take down the black mosquito net and wash it today.
The mat and quilt were also washed.
It has been unknown how long since she last washed these things. Even without using soap, she still has to rinse them with water.
She did it right away. She moved all the quilts from the bed to the small bed and rolled up the mat underneath.
She has experience in this matter.
The top of the black mosquito net must be covered in dust.
Her guess was absolutely correct.
Fortunately, she had saved the mat and other things.
She put the mat on the cement floor in the yard, pumped up well water, watered it several times, and then placed it on a stool to dry in the sun.
She put the mosquito net in the basin and soaked it in water first.
I took a bucket of water and soaked the quilt cover first.
There is no laundry detergent at home, so I use soap to rub the mosquito net and quilt cover, but I can use up a piece of soap.
It doesn't fit in with the current frugal lifestyle of the family.
My dear, there is more to this chapter. Please click on the next page to continue reading. It will be even more exciting later!
