Chapter 4: The Young Daughter-in-law of the Yang Family in the 1970s
"Aunt San, I've finished cutting the pig grass. How about you dig over here first? I'll go and hand in the pig grass and then come back to see you."
Yang Daya quickly gathered a large basket of pig feed. She walked steadily to Lin Wanwan with the huge basket on her back.
Upon closer inspection, I realized that Third Aunt is also a good worker. Didn’t you see that in just a short while, she has already dug up half a basket of wild vegetables?
You know, digging wild vegetables is different from collecting pig grass. To collect pig grass, you just need to pick the tender places and cut them with a sickle, and you can quickly collect a large bunch.
If you are not serious when digging wild vegetables, you may not be able to dig up a basket in half a day.
"Then go quickly. I still have a lot of wild vegetables here. It will take some time to dig!"
When Lin Wanwan looked up, she found that the little person was carrying a big backpack, and the pile of pig grass was already overflowing.
Yang Daya was standing quite relaxed, but the pile of pig grass was swaying a little, as if it was going to drown Yang Daya.
"Then I'll go first. Third Aunt, please be careful."
"I'll be back soon..."
Yang Daya's footsteps were so fast that before her voice could reach her, she had already run far away.
"My daughter Da Ya is really capable, I can't fall too far behind!"
"I dig, I dig, I dig, dig, dig..."
Seeing Yang Daya's big basket of pig grass, Lin Wanwan's speed in digging wild vegetables also increased a lot.
Seeing the wild vegetables in the basket gradually increasing, I felt a great sense of accomplishment in my heart.
"Rustle, rustle..."
Just as Lin Wanwan was digging hard, she suddenly heard a slight strange sound in her ears.
She keenly caught the unusual sounds around her and looked up at the bushes next to her.
The shovel in his hand had left the ground and was raised to his chest, and his feet were moving backward little by little.
After living on a wasteland planet for 18 years, his premonition of danger is higher than that of ordinary people.
Even though she didn't seem to be paying attention when she was talking to Yang Daya before, and looked absent-minded, if there was any danger approaching, she would be able to detect it immediately.
"Hmph~Hmph~"
When a hairy wild boar head emerged from the bushes, Lin Wanwan subconsciously smashed the stone at hand at the black head.
"Bang!"
Maybe she reacted too violently, and the wild boar's head, which was not big to begin with, was immediately deformed.
"Is this the brown-haired beast?"
Lin Wanwan held her breath and waited for a long time. Seeing that the wild boar had stopped moving, she confirmed that the wild boar was dead.
However, on the wasteland planet, wild boars are not called wild boars but brown-haired beasts.
The wild boar's hair is like steel needles, and only the most powerful hunters dare to deal with it.
"Aunt San, I'm back. Look what I brought you."
Yang Daya was worried about Lin Wanwan staying here alone, so she quickly delivered the pig feed and rushed back.
When she passed by Grandma Wang's house, she was given a peach enthusiastically.
These peaches are grown in Grandma Wang's yard. Grandma Wang cherishes them so much that she usually doesn't allow the children in the village to pick them.
Yang Daya was also diligent in his daily life, and most importantly, he had helped Grandma Wang once, so when they met Grandma Wang this time, she gave him a peach.
"Hey, why is there a little wild boar here?"
Yang Daya screamed in surprise, but after she said this, she subconsciously covered her mouth.
Then he looked around carefully, and when he didn't see anyone, he released his hand that was covering his mouth.
"Aunt San, did you kill this little wild boar?"
"You are so amazing!"
Yang Daya looked at Lin Wanwan with admiration. She often came here to pick grass for pigs and had never encountered a little wild boar.
Not to mention wild boars, we haven’t even encountered a wild rabbit. It wasn’t long after Third Aunt arrived that she killed a little wild boar.
Although the wild boar's head is not big, if you drag the whole wild boar out, it will weigh at least forty or fifty kilograms of meat.
In this era, forty or fifty kilograms of meat is a lot, enough to eat for most of half a year.
"Daya, this wild boar meat shouldn't be seen by others, right?"
Lin Wanwan didn’t understand the rules of this world, but in their wasteland Saturn, if you kill any meat, you have to cover it up tightly.
You must find a safe place in the wild to process it and make it into jerky before you dare take it home.
Otherwise, the neighbors would smell the aroma, and people who were always hungry would riot at the smell of meat.
It was like when she smelled the fragrance of rice in the morning, she couldn't control her body and directly grabbed the rice from the pot.
These are all subconscious reactions, without any time to think.
"We must not be discovered!"
"Aunt, put the piglet in my backpack. I'll pick some pig grass to cover it. The two of us will take the wild boar back first."
"Wait until grandma comes back at noon, and then find a way to clean up the wild boar. We can't tell anyone that there's meat at home."
After hearing what Yang Daya said, Lin Wanwan also guessed that although people in this world can eat rice, meat is also rare.
Otherwise, Yang Daya would not be so cautious about a little wild boar.
"You're right, Daya. Let's carry the wild boar back quickly."
Lin Wanwan helped, and together with Yang Daya, they lifted the little wild boar into the backpack.
Yang Daya quickly went around and cut some fresh pig grass.
These pig grasses can not only be used to feed pigs, but can also be chopped up and mixed with some bran to feed the chickens at home.
She has to do these things every day anyway. Today, because of this little wild boar, it seems that she won’t be able to earn any work points, so she might as well keep this secret!
soon.
The two people, one big and one small, carried the baskets on their backs and quietly returned home.
This time, Yang Daya chose a sparsely populated path for fear of being seen by the elderly people in the village who were not working.
When they got home, both of them were covered in sweat.
Only when the gate was locked from the inside did Yang Daya breathe a sigh of relief.
"Finally home, are you tired, Auntie San?"
"This is the peach my grandma gave me. Let's split it in half!"
Only after carefully hiding the backpack in the kitchen did Yang Daya breathe a sigh of relief.
When he arrived in the yard, he sat next to Lin Wanwan and took out the peaches that he had not had time to take out before and cut them into two halves.
Lin Wanwan took half of the peach and smelled the sweet peach fragrance. She felt like she was about to start bubbling with happiness again!
"This smells so sweet, so nice!"
Because she was not very hungry, Lin Wanwan sniffed the cut part of the peach again and again, but was reluctant to bite it.
"Third Aunt, please eat them quickly. These peaches are only fresh now. Once they wilt, they won't be so delicious anymore!"
Seeing that Lin Wanwan was reluctant to eat, Yang Daya tried to persuade her.
"Daya is right. If we don't eat it now, it will become stale later!"
Lin Wanwan took a look and saw that Yang Daya had already eaten most of it, so she stuffed her own small half into her mouth as well.
When I took a bite of the peach, it was not as sweet as I expected, but more sour.
But this is also a rare delicacy. At least in the 18 years on the wasteland planet, I have never eaten anything with such a rich taste.
