With the help of his two younger brothers, Liu Gang used a cloth strip to stop the pig's bleeding, then tied it up with a rope and carried it down the mountain.
A bicycle can only be ridden by one person, and Liu Qiang doesn't know the way, so Liu Gang has to go alone. No matter how tired he is today, he has to go.
Moreover, it is twice as expensive to go to the city as to go to the town. Although it takes an extra hour to ride, it is still more cost-effective to go to the county town.
Fortunately, I just ate a few pieces of bread and drank some river water, and I felt like I was back to life.
Today I rode for more than two hours to the county town tonight, found someone to sell the pigs to, found a place to rest, and rushed back the next morning.
The physical energy consumption today is really overloaded.
But when he thought about earning 200 yuan, he felt a little relieved.
With 200 yuan, I can consider buying a bicycle, which will make it convenient for me to go to town in the future.
Didn’t Xiaofang say that she would soon start a business selling fresh oyster mushrooms and fresh button mushrooms? Isn’t this just perfect?
It's just like a pillow when you're sleepy.
From now on, I can ride my bicycle to deliver goods to town or city.
No need to borrow a bicycle from someone every day.
I really don’t know why, but I seem to have good luck lately.
The haze that had shrouded my heart in the past few months due to my son's death is slowly being blown away.
Thinking of the pancakes he had tonight, he couldn't help but feel warm in his heart.
It's a nice feeling to know someone cares.
On weekdays, he is the eldest son in the family, and he is the one who makes sacrifices, cares about others, and gives money to the family.
Now finally someone was thinking about him.
Should he be nicer to Xiaofang?
This brave man carried more than 200 kilograms of pigs to the county town overnight.
It was already past eleven o'clock in the evening when we arrived.
He asked his comrades last night what the market price of wild boar meat was in the county town.
This comrade Tian Liang works in the supply and marketing cooperative and is very familiar with various market conditions.
Tian Liang said it was at least one yuan per pound.
If the conditions are good, the price can go up a bit.
And it’s hard to buy, if it’s available, it will be sold out immediately.
After all, wild boar meat is much more fragrant than domestic pork.
He also said that if there is any, just bring it over and he will definitely take as much as you can.
Liu Gang went directly to Tian Liang's house.
The street lights are sparse and most of the road sections are dark. When I came here, I had to use a flashlight to find the way in some places.
By this time the streets were completely silent.
Tian Liang had already gone to bed, and was surprised to see Liu Gang, who had rushed over overnight, exhausted.
"Gangzi, didn't you just return to Jinpo Village this morning? Why are you back now?"
Liu Gang pointed at the pig behind the 28-inch truck and said, "Look, I brought you something good."
Tian Liang was surprised, "Wild boar?"
Liu Gang nodded. "That's right. I fell into a trap, and a branch got stuck in my chest. I bled a little, but I'm still alive."
Tian Liang was delighted, "You are really good, we talked about it last night and you delivered it today.
This is really good stuff.
I'll take you to the slaughterhouse and weigh you there."
After saying that, he pulled out his 28-inch bicycle and led the way, and the two of them set off on their bicycles.
"Gangzi, you are so strong that you can deliver such a heavy pig on your bike.
I have to admire you!"
Tian Liang is several years older than Liu Gang, and has lived in the county town for many years, so his physical functions have long since deteriorated.
"So even though we're in the countryside, there are also benefits to being in the countryside. We do farm work every day and exercise every day."
The two of them talked and laughed, and soon arrived at the slaughterhouse.
The person over there was obviously very familiar with Tian Liang. He was called Lao Liu and handed him two cigarettes.
Liu Gang didn't smoke, so he thanked me, took the cigarette, and put it behind his ear.
Sometimes if someone gives you something and you don’t smoke it, you are not giving them face.
Tian Liang and Lao Liu introduced him, "This is my former comrade-in-arms, Liu Gang. We all call him Gangzi. If he hadn't retired early due to family matters, he would be a regimental commander now!"
Lao Liu couldn't help but look up to Liu Gang.
Wow, regimental level!
"Brother, you are really good!"
Lao Liu patted him on the shoulder.
Liu Gang smiled innocently.
Tian Liang smiled and said, "Lao Liu was also a soldier before, and he was assigned here after retiring."
Lao Liu laughed and said, "I'm just a retired soldier. How can a regimental-level cadre compare to me?"
Liu Gang said hurriedly, "This is all because of Brother Liang's flattery. I retired earlier than Brother Liang did."
Since they have this comradeship, they naturally become more familiar with each other.
Everyone talking made Liu Gang relax a little.
This day really exhausted him.
I haven't felt this extremely tired in a long time.
Several people helped Liu Gang unload the pig onto the slaughterhouse scale, placed a few weights on it, and finally reported the weight, "Two hundred and thirty-one pounds."
The men carried the pig away and went to work.
Tian Liang didn't have that much money on him. "Gangzi, come to the supply and marketing cooperative tomorrow to get it from me. I don't have that much money on me today."
Liu Gang nodded.
Tian Liang asked again, "Where are you staying tonight?"
Liu Gang knew that Tian Liang had just gotten married and the house they were allocated was not big, so it was not convenient for him to go and disturb them.
Moreover, he reeked of sweat and pig smell.
"Brother Liang, I'll just find a hotel to stay in. And wash off the smell."
"That's fine. If you don't have any clothes to change into, come to my place and I'll get you some."
The two of them are about the same height, so they can wear it.
Liu Gang was not polite either.
City people have high incomes, so it’s no big deal for Tian Liang to give him a piece of clothing.
"Just give me some old clothes that you don't wear anymore. I'll have to pay you back later."
