Even though the wolf cub is still small, it is still a wolf. Ever since the wolf cub entered the Qin family, not only the two usually fierce geese have been hunching their tails and trembling in fear, but the two sheep, one big and one small, are also very scared.
Qin Qingman saw two sheep squatting in a corner of the sheepfold and trembling, and quickly said to Chuchu: "Take Dudu back to the house."
She was afraid that the wolf cubs would scare the ewes and cause them to stop producing milk, which would be a total loss.
"Okay, let's go back now." Chu Chu also saw that the ewe was afraid of the wolf cub, so she quickly turned around holding the wolf cub.
The wolf cub didn't want to go back. Although it was still drinking milk, the instinct of hunting prey was rooted in its blood. Looking at the two sheep, the wolf cub kept struggling in Chu Chu's arms, and even kept crying to the two sheep in a baby voice...
He looks fierce like a wolf, but my grandmother feels like a puppy.
"You said your teeth haven't grown yet. What's the use of being fierce? You can't eat anything. Okay, stop shouting. Let's go back to the house and I'll give you some goat milk later." Chu Chu hugged the struggling wolf cub in her arms with great effort, and her words of comfort were also mixed with a hint of mockery.
The wolf cub couldn't understand human language. Seeing Chu Chu was going to carry it back to the house, it became excited and stopped.
The chubby body struggled vigorously, and Chuchu was thrown to the ground by the wolf cub before she could hold on to it.
As soon as the wolf cub got off the ground, he rushed towards the sheep pen.
Prey. It smelled prey.
Although the wolf cub has no parents to teach it at this time, the previous teachings and blood are engraved in its bones. By instinct, it knows that the two sheep in the sheepfold are its prey.
It's food.
The wolf cub, who had just drunk a bowl of milk sugar water, was already very hungry, so he rushed towards the prey as soon as he saw it.
Don’t be fooled by its small size, but it can rush pretty fast when facing prey.
Not only did Chu Chu fail to catch the young guy in the first place, but even Qin Qingman, who was standing at the door of the sheep pen, failed to catch him.
The wolf cub took advantage of its small size and fast speed and slipped right under Qin Qingman's feet into the sheepfold.
The two sheep were immediately frightened and bleated.
A wolf entered the sheepfold, and immediately there was a panic.
The ewe was so frightened that she was walking around in circles with her lamb, and the wolf cub was chasing after them.
Fortunately, there were a lot of straw on the ground of the sheepfold, otherwise, with the wolf cub's short legs, it would have been impossible to catch up with the two sheep, and it would have been eating mud with every step it took. After all, it was still a little wolf cub.
“Awoooooo——”
The little wolf cub was chasing happily, and the two sheep were bleating non-stop.
As they ran, the two sheep realized that something was wrong. Was the wolf chasing them, or were they chasing the wolf? How come after only running a few steps, they not only overtook the wolf cub, but also quickly overtook it again, again and again.
It's like they've run two laps while the wolf cub hasn't even finished one lap.
By the end of the race, the two sheep had become much braver. Not only were they running at a leisurely pace, but their expressions were no longer so fearful.
The little wolf cub, who was being chased so hard that his tongue was almost sticking out, kept howling in anger.
“Hahaha, Dudu, come on, come on.”
Chuchu, who had been watching at the sheepfold door for a while, burst into laughter, holding her stomach, and her stomach hurt.
The wolf cub was really too small. Both the ewe and the lamb were much bigger than it. The sheep's legs were slender and long, and one casual step of it was equivalent to four or five steps of the wolf cub.
Look, after jogging for a while, the wolf cub was exhausted, but the two sheep could even leisurely eat a mouthful of grass while running.
“Ah——”
The little wolf got angry and rushed out at full speed.
It's amazing that this time it rushed very fast. In the eyes of Qin Qingman and Chuchu, they only saw a black shadow flash by, and the wolf cub pounced on the lamb's butt, opened its mouth, and bit the lamb's butt with a howl.
“Mee-mee-mee—”
The lamb was so frightened that it ran around in panic, even shaking its short tail wildly, probably trying to shake the wolf cub off its butt.
You know what, with the lamb jumping around so much, the wolf cub, whose claws are not yet sharp, can't catch its prey.
The little guy slowly slid off the lamb's butt.
When it slid down, there was not a single scratch on the lamb's butt.
The ewe, who had turned around to help, froze in place, and the lamb also stopped and froze in place.
It doesn't seem to hurt at all.
At this time, Qin Qingman and her brother and the ewe and her lamb also turned their attention to the lamb's buttocks.
Nothing happened.
"Hahaha, Dudu, I told you that you can't do anything because you haven't grown teeth yet, but you still don't believe me. Come back quickly, let's go to the house and warm up by the fire. I'll squeeze some goat milk for you to drink later." Chuchu laughed out loud again.
Just as Chuchu was laughing at the wolf cub, the wolf cub slipped off the lamb's butt and fell to the ground.
A black mass fell on the stalks and crushed them down a bit.
Qin Qingman took advantage of the two sheep's stunned moment to quickly enter the sheepfold and carried the aggrieved and tearful wolf cub out. If she didn't carry the wolf cub out, not only would the wolf cub cry in front of its prey, but the ewe would probably also teach this wolf cub, which had no killing power, a lesson.
“Awoo—Awoo—”
The wolf cub stared at Qin Qingman with his big watery eyes and complained, whining non-stop and waving his four paws in the air, as if he didn't want to admit defeat and wanted to fight with the two sheep.
"Okay, okay, I know you're hungry. I'll get you something to eat right away. Don't worry, you're still young now. When you grow up, you can hunt on your own."
Qin Qingman was not Chuchu, and she did not laugh at the wolf cub, but comforted him patiently.
At the same time, his hand kept stroking Dudu's head.
The wolf cub smelled the reassuring breath and felt the peace in Qin Qingman's attitude. He was finally not so angry anymore, and his whining sounds became quieter.
"Sister, can Dudu understand us?"
Chuchu squeezed over and asked curiously.
"Definitely not, but it should be able to sense our attitude. Although Dudu is not a human, it is very smart." Qin Qingman believes that Xiao Hei and his wife's genes are very strong, because Xiao Hei is the most anthropomorphic animal she has ever seen.
Chu Chu seemed to understand after hearing what Qin Qingman said.
"Sister, I'll carry Dudu back to the house and you can milk him. I think he must be hungry, otherwise he wouldn't have rushed directly into the sheep pen just now." As he spoke, he took the much calmer Dudu from Qin Qingman's hands.
"Well, go back and warm yourself by the fire, don't get cold. After you go into the house, wipe Dudu's feet and develop a good habit." After Qin Qingman gave Chuchu instructions, she went into the sheepfold to comfort the two frightened sheep. Although the one chasing the two sheep was a wolf cub, the two sheep were still frightened to some extent.
Chuchu saw Qin Qingman comforting the sheep, and quickly took the wolf cub back to the house.
As soon as I entered the house, I wiped Dudu's feet thoroughly with a wet towel.
Even wiped himself.
The wolf cub had just been running around in the sheep pen for a long time. Although the sheep pen had just been repaired today and was very clean, he still wiped the wolf cub's whole body.
If his sister hadn't said that the wolf cub was still young and couldn't take a bath casually, he would have wanted to give the wolf cub a good bath.
Chuchu wiped the wolf cub's body and put it down.
The wolf cub was exhausted after the hunting trip. He did not ask Chuchu for food. Instead, he drooped his ears and went back to the west room. He crawled into the wolf den Qin Qingman had made for him and curled himself up into a ball.
The wolf cub felt aggrieved, hungry and angry today.
Chu Chu didn't notice that the wolf cub was angry at first. He thought the wolf cub was just sleepy. He scrubbed the towel and washed his hands before going to find the wolf cub. Then he found that what the wolf cub left for him was a chubby butt.
No matter how he teased her, Dudu didn't turn around.
Now, Chu Chu finally knew that the wolf cub was angry.
The wolf cub had already torn down the fence Qin Qingman had made before in a fit of anger. Today, she had made fun of the wolf cub twice, so maybe the wolf cub was angry with her too. Thinking of this, Chu Chu quickly gave the wolf cub a gift and apologized.
I said a lot of nice things to the wolf cub, but he didn't turn around.
The little kid Chuchu was a little anxious. She stretched out her fat finger and gently poked the wolf cub's chubby butt, then apologized, "Dudu, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have laughed at you. I was wrong. I apologize."
The little tail on the wolf cub's butt moved slightly, and he ignored Chuchu.
The little guy was very bad-tempered and held a grudge. Although he couldn't understand Chuchu's words, he could definitely feel Chuchu's previous ridicule on him.
Humph, you dare to laugh at me, the king? I will ignore you, absolutely not.
It took Qin Qingman almost forty minutes to empty the ewe's udder on her first successful milking attempt. Carrying half a bucket of fresh goat's milk, she glanced at the sky which was beginning to darken and hurried back to the house.
She stayed in the sheep pen for forty minutes. Fortunately, the sheep pen was heated, otherwise not only the sheep would not be able to bear it, but she, who was milking the goats, would not be able to bear it either.
"Dudu, come and drink goat milk."
As soon as Qin Qingman entered the hall, she found the bowl that the wolf cub had used to drink milk sugar water and filled it with half a bowl of goat milk.
The wolf cub was a wild animal, and she had no intention of processing the goat's milk before giving it to the little guy.
In the west room, Chuchu said a bunch of nice things to the wolf cub but the wolf cub just twitched its tail in response. Not to mention turning its head, it didn't even get a claw. Just when Chuchu thought the wolf cub would be angry forever, as Qin Qingman's voice rang out, the wolf cub disappeared in a flash.
Looking at the empty wolf den, Chuchu smiled helplessly.
It seems that we can no longer make fun of wolf cubs casually from now on.
This wolf cub gets really hot-tempered when he gets angry, and it's really hard to comfort him, just like a human child.
When Chuchu came out of the west room, what she saw was the wolf cub holding the bowl and eating voraciously.
After being hungry for a whole day, the wolf cub finally got to eat real milk and was very happy. While eating, he whined and complained to Qin Qingman, as if he was mocking himself before he complained to Chuchu.
Qin Qingman looked at Chuchu.
Chu Chu smiled helplessly.
Although neither of them could understand the wolf cub's whining, they could certainly sense that he was complaining.
Qin Qingman blinked and smiled.
It seems that with the addition of a little thing in the house, not only does everything become more energetic, but there is also a bit more liveliness. Even Chuchu is inspired to become more lively by the wolf cub.
Qin Qingman squeezed out half a bucket of goat's milk, which was not much, but not too little either.
The bucket she used to squeeze milk was small, and she could squeeze out three large bowls of milk at a time, which was definitely enough for the wolf cub to drink.
But she didn't know how much the wolf cubs ate yet, so Chuchu wouldn't get any of the milk she squeezed out the first time.
Goat milk has a stronger smell than cow milk, and it has a fishy odor. To remove the fishy smell, you have to use almonds. Qin Qingman plans to test the wolf cub's appetite in the next few days, make sure the wolf cub eats and drinks enough, and then process the remaining goat milk with almonds and give it to Chuchu to drink.
Fortunately, this is a mountainous area rich in species, with all kinds of fruits growing on the mountain.
The original owner of the almonds also packed up some and put them in the storage room.
"Sister, can we drink this goat milk?" Chu Chu was so disgusted with goat milk that he hated it the moment he smelled the real goat milk. Before he even drank it, he could already smell the strong smell of goat.
Many people cannot accept the smell of sheep.
He doesn't like it either.
Qin Qingman could see Chuchu's dislike for goat milk, and explained with a smile: "Unprocessed goat milk smells bad, but once it's processed, it not only doesn't have the smell of goat, it's also very delicious."
"Then don't we need to process the goat milk that Dudu drinks?"
Chuchu looked at Dudu, who was still holding the bowl and drinking milk, in surprise and confusion.
"Animals are different from us. They prefer original tastes. Even the fishy smell that we find unpleasant may be an attractive fragrance to them, so there is no need to deliberately change their diet." Qin Qingman had no intention of raising the wolf cub as a dog.
She had seen Xiao Hei's bravery and how wolves hunted blind bears. Qin Qingman didn't want to confine the wolf cub to the Qin family's yard.
When the wolf cubs grew up, she released them back into the forest.
Wolves need their own world.
Chu Chu also understood what Qin Qingman meant and nodded, saying, "Okay, sister, I will listen to you from now on." After that, he went to practice horse stance.
Even though there was a wolf cub at home, he did not neglect his training.
The wolf cub licked up half a bowl of goat's milk cleanly. After drinking it, he kept humming to Qin Qingman, as if he was not full.
Qin Qingman looked at the wolf cub in surprise, then picked up the little guy and touched his belly in disbelief.
My belly has been bulging for a long time, with no space at all.
Qin Qingman smiled, stretched out her finger and gently poked the wolf cub's forehead, and taught him: "I won't let you get hungry from today onwards. Don't eat too much, just eat until you are full." After that, she fed the wolf cub to satisfy his stomach before putting him down, and then picked up the bowl of goat milk that the wolf cub had drunk.
The temperature in the house was high, so not only did the fresh milk have to be taken outside and refrigerated, but the bowls used to drink the goat milk also had to be washed quickly.
If you don't wash it, bacteria will grow and produce odor later.
After cleaning up, Qin Qingman went to clean up the east room.
Chuchu and Wolf Cub will sleep in the east room tonight, so the things in the east room need to be sorted out again.
The cloth was folded neatly and moved back to the closet in the west room. The radio was wiped with a clean cloth and placed on the wooden box at the end of the kang. Although there was no electricity during the season when the mountain was closed due to heavy snow in Kaoshantun, the radios of this era did not run on electricity, but on batteries.
This radio has never been used since I bought it.
After Qin Qingman installed the battery, she began to gently pull out the antenna of the radio, section by section, until the last section, she turned on the radio.
A series of crackling sounds of electrical current were heard as the radio was turned on.
Chu Chu, who was doing horse stance beside the fire, looked over curiously, "Sister, what is that?" He knew that the thing Qin Qingman was fiddling with was called a radio, but he didn't know what the sound of the electric current was.
The radio that Qin Qingman and her friends bought was of the Mudan brand, made in Beijing.
It was manufactured based on a foreign prototype (Sharp, Japan). It is not bulky in appearance and can receive medium and short wave radio programs. It is considered a luxury item in today's era.
"This is the sound of electric current. When my tuner can receive the radio signal, the sound of electric current will disappear." Qin Qingman answered Chu Chu while turning the button of the tuner.
Due to limited technology, the button can only adjust fixed channels, and each click will change the channel.
In theory, there will be a sound on a channel every time you tune one notch, but Kaoshantun is really remote and surrounded by mountains, so the signal is greatly affected and not every station's signal is necessarily stable, so sometimes when you tune in, you hear a crackling sound of electric current.
The current sound means that no signal is received.
You can only move on to the next channel.
Qin Qingman turned three channels in succession and all she heard was the sound of electric current, and only when she turned the fourth channel did she hear any sound.
"Hello, everyone. Now we are reporting from the Central Radio Station..." This is the weather forecast broadcast from Beijing. The announcer's voice is very standard and his pronunciation is clear and loud.
Chu Chu was stunned when she heard this.
The sound was so beautiful that he wanted to learn it.
Seeing that the sound was tuned in, Qin Qingman did not change the channel again, but went to clean up the east room. The wolf cub who had been following her around before was now squatting beside the stove in the west room, staring at the radio on the wooden box with burning eyes.
It was very curious about the sound coming from the radio.
That serious attitude seems like it can understand.
"Can you understand?" Chu Chu listened to the sound in the radio for a long time before she realized that the wolf cub was squatting beside her. After finishing his exercise, he slowly retracted his limbs.
After exercising continuously for several days, he has gradually adapted to the discomfort and numbness when squatting. Every time he squats to the limit, he stands up and moves his arms and legs, and then continues squatting.
Repeat this process over and over again until you have squatted for half an hour.
"Awooo--" Regardless of whether the wolf cub understood Chuchu's words or not, he had to control his momentum to the point and make every possible effort to respond with a howl.
Chu Chu suddenly felt that life was more interesting with a wolf cub at home.
The radio didn't broadcast the weather forecast for too long. After a few minutes, it turned into a children's storytelling.
The gentle and delicate voice coming from the radio attracted the attention of Chuchu and the wolf cub.
The Qin family is actually not that big.
Except for the living room which is a bit bigger, the east and west rooms are only a few meters square.
Originally, the stove was placed in the west room, so Qin Qingman moved the sewing machine that was not in use temporarily to the east room. But now Chuchu and the wolf cub have to stay in the east room at night, so she can only move the sewing machine back.
The sewing machine is placed next to the closet, farthest from the stove and closest to the end of the kang.
In this way, the wolf cubs' den will have to be moved, otherwise the ground will be too messy.
"Chu Chu, why don't I buy a stove in your room and light a fire so that I can sleep warmer at night." Qin Qingman looked at the stove in her own room and worried that the east room was too cold and would freeze the man and the wolf.
"Sister, no need. Dudu and I will sleep in the east room at night and play in the living room and the west room on weekdays. It's not cold." Chuchu didn't want the family to waste money anymore. Besides, the house already had two stoves, and it was much warmer than it was some time ago. It was fine before, so why do we need to add another stove now?
Qin Qingman took off her cotton coat and walked around the house. She could feel that the temperature in the east room was lower than that in the west room and the living room, but not much lower.
Considering that most activities were done in the living room and the west room, I did not insist on having a stove in the east room as well.
The east room was tidied up, and that night Chuchu and the wolf cub moved to the kang in the east room to sleep.
It was the first time the wolf cub slept on the kang. Qin Qingman considered for a long time and finally gave the wolf cub a hot bath.
There is a stove and some radiators in the house, so the temperature is quite high, so the wolf cub won't catch a cold if he takes a bath.
After dinner in the evening, Qin Qingman and Chuchu gave the wolf cub a nice bath.
At the beginning, the wolf cub barked fiercely and refused to cooperate at all. It was only after Qin Qingman soothed it for a long time that the wolf cub relaxed after realizing that there was no danger in taking a bath. He stretched his little paws into the hot water to test.
After a few times, the wolf cub rolled into the water by himself.
Wolves are born with the ability to swim. After the wolf cub got used to taking a bath, he paddled out of the water by himself and even unkindly hit Chuchu on the head and face. Chuchu was so angry that she chased the wolf cub in the water.
After some playing around, both children at home took a bath.
The wolf cub was washed clean, its fur was dried, and Qin Qingman carried it to the kang in the east room.
The kang has been heated and the surface is warm.
At first, the wolf cub was confused. Two of its paws touched the ground, and the other two paws were raised for a long time without daring to drop them, because this was the first time it had stepped on such warm ground since it was born.
Unsuitable.
Qin Qingman and Chuchu sat on the kang and encouraged the wolf cub for a long time before the wolf cub dared to take a step.
It ran towards Qin Qingman quickly and then dived into Qin Qingman's arms.
After realizing there was no danger, it stuck out its round head and carefully observed the kang with its round eyes.
The kang was covered with a neatly laid mat, which was smooth and even without any dents.
The wolf cub was still young, and was extremely curious. His little paws could not resist the temptation of curiosity, and he finally stretched out his tentative paws again and ran across the table. This time he ran from Qin Qingman's arms to Chuchu's arms.
After running, I carefully lifted my feet and looked at them.
The pink feet were not burnt and the hair was not lost, so the wolf cub felt relieved.
It boldly occupied the entire kang.
He ran from east to west, and from west to east, and his running and rolling made the entire kang surface full of his aura.
Finally, Qin Qingman was asked to move its nest onto the kang.
Chuchu was stunned by the wolf cub's domineering behavior and said to Qin Qingman: "Sister, why do I feel that Dudu doesn't seem to need my company?" Maybe the wolf cub thinks he is a nuisance on the kang.
Qin Qingman could only smile and comfort Chuchu, "Dudu is still young, it is lonely, it needs someone to accompany it at night, it needs you."
"Okay." Chu Chu believed what Qin Qingman said.
As a result, at night, the wolf cub not only refused to let Chuchu hold it while sleeping, but even kept chasing Chuchu off the kang. Chuchu got angry, and the two little ones had a fierce fight. In the end, they peacefully decided to each occupy half of the kang.
This evening, everything finally calmed down.
Qin Qingman, who was in the west room, came over to take a look after hearing no movement in the east room. She smiled as she saw the two little ones sleeping in distinct positions.
However, Qin Qingman did not interfere, nor did she plan to call Chuchu back to the west room. Of course, children's choices should be respected, and they should also be made to understand what it means to have a beginning and an end. It is good for the two little ones to get along like this.
It is said that many emotions are expressed through fighting.
Qin Qingman knew why the wolf cub was so domineering, because the wolf cub had to compete with his brothers since he was born. Not competing would be irresponsible to life, so when he came to the Qin family, he automatically regarded Chuchu as a competitor.
The children are still young, and they will be more energetic if they compete with each other.
Qin Qingman touched Chuchu's neck and tucked the corner of the quilt for the child when she didn't feel any sweat. She was originally planning to leave the east room after tucking the corner of the quilt, but after thinking about it, she finally reached out and touched the wolf cub in the wolf den.
This is equal treatment.
When Qin Qingman touched the wolf cub, she could clearly feel the little guy opening his mouth and gently biting her hand.
It seems that the wolf cub woke up as soon as he entered the door.
After treating the two children equally, Qin Qingman went out of the east room carrying the oil lamp. The door of the east room was not closed. The stove in the living room was burning, and the temperature could affect the east room. She could also hear the movement coming from the east room in time.
After a good night's sleep, the next morning came in the blink of an eye.
With one more mouth to feed, the Qin family's life became more fulfilling and joyful.
After feeding the wolf cub several meals a day for two days, Qin Qingman found out its real appetite, and then the whole family started drinking goat milk.
The wolf cub drank natural, unprocessed goat milk, while Qin Qingman and Chuchu drank goat milk cooked with almonds.
After adding almonds, the goat smell of goat milk was indeed removed. Not only that, most of the nutritional value of goat milk was retained. After only drinking goat milk for a few days, the brother and sister's skin complexion became better.
You can’t tell whether she has grown taller or not, but you can definitely see that her skin and complexion are better.
"We can make milk tofu today."
Qin Qingman finished drinking the goat milk in the bowl and glanced at the fresh goat milk in the bucket. There was still a lot left. She didn't know whether it was because the sheep were living more comfortably in their home, or because they were squeezed until there was not a drop of goat milk left every day, so the ewes actually increased their milk production.
As her milk increased, Qin Qingman used to squeeze her breasts twice a day, but now she has to squeeze them three times.
If there is no milking one day, the ewes in the pen will keep calling.
Ewes are just like humans. They will feel uncomfortable if they have too much milk.
"Sister, our sheep are so good. They produce more milk than ordinary sheep, even if you worry that we won't have enough to eat. We can drink milk tea today and eat milk tofu tomorrow." Chuchu often asks people in the village for news, so she is very well-informed.
"I guess it's because of Dudu."
Qin Qingman elegantly wiped the milk stains from the corners of her mouth with her finger and looked at the wolf cubs playing in circles at her feet.
The fire in the Qin family's stove was burning brightly, and the temperature in the house was high. The wolf cub ate and played every day, played and ate, and slept after eating. His life was more comfortable than when he was with his parents. The little guy had even recovered from the pain of being abandoned by his parents.
The wolf cub lived a life of good food, good drink and good sleep, and his body became plumper.
The reason why the ewe produces more milk may be because she is stimulated by the wolf cub. Animals have the natural instinct of competition. Although the ewe does not feel the threat from the wolf cub now, she is still afraid of wolves deep down.
In order to avoid becoming prey to the wolf cubs, they simply increased their milk production. After all, the wolf cubs would no longer be interested in their meat once they had enough milk.
The ewe also has her own intelligence.
After eating and drinking enough, Qin Qingman and Chuchu like to rub the wolf cub's body every day.
When Qin Qingman stroked his fur, the wolf cub happily ran over to let anyone touch or hug him. If it was Chuchu's turn, the two little ones would definitely have a fierce fight before deciding whether Chuchu could touch the wolf cub.
Such days are full of fun, and also alleviate the annoyance of having to stay at home in the winter, and the Qin family also has a radio.
Qin Qingman and Chuchu also tried out several channels on the radio.
Being able to listen to stories, operas, and occasional current affairs news are very useful to Qin Qingman. Although she cannot know everything about the world by sitting at home, at least she is no longer blind and knows nothing.
Chuchu and the wolf cub also like to listen to the radio. Every time Qin Qingman turns on the radio, the two little ones sit beside Qin Qingman and listen obediently.
Qin Qingman was knitting a sweater while listening, and the two of them were leaning against Qin Qingman while listening, intoxicated.
The Qin family lived in peace and tranquility.
During this period, Wei Ling did not go home and did not ask anyone to bring any letters home. Although Qin Qingman and Wei Ling were not far apart, and she could even see the XXX Division Headquarters not far away from her doorstep, the two sides were like parallel lines that did not intersect.
We can see each other, but we can't be face to face.
Maybe this is the ordinary life of a military wife.
Du Hongyi and his friends were busy during this period and had no time to go to the Qin family for dinner, but they still remembered Qin Qingman's craftsmanship, so they asked someone to send some children's toys to Chuchu. They were homemade, so they were not out of the ordinary and could also help to keep in touch.
Qin Qingman accepted them all with a smile.
Just when life in Kaoshantun was peaceful and harmonious, the villagers who had gone up the mountain to hunt returned.
Zheng Anguo led his men up the mountain for five days. After five days, they returned with a full load, and everyone was carrying a pleasing prey.
This time they encountered a den of wild boars.
With Zheng Anguo in command and an experienced hunter guiding the hunting, the group of people carefully took down the entire den of wild boars in five days.
There are quite a lot of wild boars in this den, more than a dozen.
There are big and small ones, and there is a lot of meat.
They also shot a few silly roe deer, pheasants, hares and so on. When Zheng Anguo and his friends came back, everyone had a happy smile on their face.
This year is a big fat year.
Even though there were so many prey, each household would not get much. But the New Year was approaching, and the brigade's pigs and sheep had to be killed. After paying the tribute, they would still have some left in their village.
The remaining pork and mutton, together with the fish and shrimp, are enough for everyone to enjoy from the beginning of the year to the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.
If we save a little more and use good meat to make bacon, we can cut some of it for cooking every month and relieve the misery for a whole year.
Before the main force entered the village, the hunting dogs at the front began to bark.
In the village, every household would wrap themselves in thick cotton clothes and go out immediately upon hearing the barking of dogs.
"Dad, I'm back."
"Mom, I'm back."
"Wife, mother, I'm back——"
In the crowd, every household was reporting safety and good news. Those who stayed at home were smiling happily as they looked at the abundant prey being carried. There was meat, lots of meat, and they could have a good year eating meat this year.
When the prey is brought back to the village, it must be divided up as quickly as possible.
Only when the meat enters every household can it be considered as theirs.
As soon as the bustle in Tunkou started, Sanmu ran to the Qin family to inform Qin Qingman and her brother to go to Tunkou to divide the meat.
The prey brought back from hunting organized by this kind of village is divided based on the number of people.
Everyone has a share.
After Qin Qingman got the news, she wrapped herself up tightly and took Chuchu out. As for the wolf cub, the hunting dogs in the village had all returned, so she didn't dare take the wolf cub out because the hunting dogs were very ferocious and could smell the wild scent on the wolf cub.
At Kaoshantunkou, Zheng Anguo and his men started to work as soon as they came back.
More than a dozen wild boars were killed over a period of five days. Some died on the first day, and some died yesterday. But no matter when they died, they were all frozen solid when they were brought back to the village in such extremely cold weather.
When cutting the meat, a knife is completely useless, you have to use a saw.
The whole pig was placed on the wooden horse, and then two people each held one end of the saw and began to saw.
The meat and internal organs were frozen together, and I had to sort them out and clean them up myself.
When Qin Qingman and Chuchu arrived, they saw a bustling scene. The crowd waiting to share the meat surrounded Zheng Anguo and others in three layers, and everyone was watching the meat sawing with eager eyes.
The quality of meat in each part of the pig is different, and the quality is also different.
Of course they cannot be distributed one by one, they have to be matched.
Don't peel off the pig skin, just the meat inside. The meat is cut into three-pound pieces so it is easier to divide.
Cut and saw the meat while dividing it.
As fast as an assembly line.
"Woof woof woof--" Suddenly, several hunting dogs tied to wooden stakes started barking violently at Qin Qingman and Chuchu.
