After seeing Li Yuemin off, Li Guolin started to get busy.
He didn't want to hang up this wolf skin just because of Li Yuemin's words.
But when he killed the wolf, he had the idea of showing off his skills to the villagers.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have been so easily moved by Li Yuemin's few words.
Li Yuemin returned home and asked his younger brother Yuejin to carry the two dead pythons to the yard and start cleaning them up.
He first carefully peeled off the python skin. You know, this thing will have many uses in the future.
It can be made into leather shoes, bags, belts, and even snakeskin ties.
Then divide the python meat into even pieces, pour water over it, and after it is frozen solid, neatly stack it in a water tank.
While Li Yuemin was cleaning up, he chatted with his brother Yuejin:
"Yuejin, have you seen the schoolbag and stationery that I bought for you?
...
...
It's winter vacation now, you can go hunting in the mountains with your brother. But when school starts, you have to go back to school.
I am already like this, I can’t delay you any longer.”
The reason why Li Yuemin said this was that in his previous life, he was away from home as a soldier, and only his younger brother was left to take care of his blind mother.
After marrying Song Mengyao and becoming rich, he tried many times to take Yuejin and his mother to his side to take care of them, but they refused. After all, it is hard to leave one's hometown.
Now that I have been reborn, I must support my younger brother's education, help him get into college, and get out of the mountains.
"Brother, I won't go. I hate studying. I get sleepy when I see the words on the book.
Especially during Chinese class, when I saw Li Guolin’s fat face, I wanted to slap him a few times.
I love to go hunting with you and Brother Zhuzi in the mountains. It would be great if the three of us brothers could be mountain keepers together."
“Leap forward, that won’t do.
Before his death, our father entrusted you to me and told us to study hard and not suffer from lack of education.
Now that my brother is married and is about to become a father, it is impossible for him to go back to study.
You have a smart brain. As long as you are willing to learn, you will definitely be able to get out of the mountains."
Unexpectedly, when Li Yuejin heard this, he shook his head like a rattle.
"Brother, why are you devaluing yourself? In my heart, you are a true hero.
You don't know how much my friends admire you.
I have already promised them that when I have mastered my skills, I will also take them into the mountains to hunt. I will let them all be your subordinates."
Li Yuemin never expected that his younger brother's ambition was even greater than his own.
When Li Yuemin thought about himself leading a group of half-grown children through the mountains and forests, he couldn't help but smile. He didn't try to persuade them any more.
But he said to him:
"Go to the brigade later and invite your sister-in-law and her father to my house to eat python meat.
Ever since my father-in-law found out that your sister-in-law was pregnant, he sent all the good things from home to me. We can't eat alone, right?
Li Yuejin responded, stood up and walked out.
When I looked up, I saw several heads sticking out from the fence and watching.
"Li family boy, these two pythons must weigh at least 200 kilograms of meat.
There are only four people in your family, can you feed them all?
Why not cut a piece for Auntie, just a small piece. Let my two greedy cats have a good time."
The person who spoke was the fat aunt from the old Feng family opposite Li Yuemin's house.
"Yes, Yuemin, I heard that python meat is very delicious when used to make soup. Give me a piece too.
I want to have a couple of drinks tonight, or I can go to your house for dinner."
This is the old stubborn cow in the backyard of Li Yuemin’s house.
Several people around also started talking at the same time, all wanting to have a share of the snake soup.
"Haha, my family can't make ends meet. When my mother asked you to give her some food, none of you gave her a single grain of food.
Now you're asking me for python meat, but I'm not doing charity work.
Well, you guys should stop gathering here and go away."
A few people were pushed around and left mumbling dirty words.
It’s not that Li Yuemin has something good and doesn’t want to share it with others.
But after he became rich in his previous life, these neighbors and distant relatives began to stalk him like flies.
At first, Li Yuemin took into account his hometown and family affection, and tried his best to meet the needs of those who came to ask for help, just to let them spend more time with their mother in their hometown.
Unexpectedly, these people took advantage of the situation and acted like they were good, especially this fat aunt, who made his mother angry a lot.
Now Li Yuemin has started a new life and decided not to be that goody-goody anymore.
I only adhere to one principle: repay kindness with kindness and repay hatred with hatred.
When he brought the processed python meat back to the house, Chuntao had already boiled a large pot of water.
"Brother Yuemin, I have never eaten python meat in my life. Are you going to make soup with it?"
"Chun Tao, you are pregnant, so you have to help me with the housework. Go sit on the kang. The floor is very cold. I will cook."
"No, I want to accompany you. Seeing you busying around, I feel at ease.
By the way, Brother Yuemin, where did you get so many spices? Are they all for making python meat?"
Chuntao kissed Li Yuemin on the face and said with a smile.
"Yes, you don't know, when I went to the county, I found a restaurant and specifically asked about the recipe of python meat. I will make it for you today."
After saying that, Li Yuemin placed a large piece of python meat on a small chopping board and began to slice, cut and stew the meat according to the requirements of each dish.
By the time his younger brother Li Yuejin invited the village chief Zhang Wanshan, a pot of clear python soup, a plate of braised python meat and stir-fried python meat had already been served on the table.
Suddenly, the aroma of meat drifted out of the yard through the cracks in the door and windows.
Li Guolin's family was eating together. There were several dishes on the wooden table, including cabbage, pork belly, stewed tofu, scrambled eggs, fried vermicelli, and a small basket of mixed flour pancakes.
The head of the family, Li Laonian, Li Yuemin's uncle, sat cross-legged on the kang, striking a match and warming the wine.
"Sizzle"
As the small flame of the match touched the wine, a blue flame suddenly ignited on the wine cup. It burned for a few seconds before Li Laonian blew it out.
The purpose of doing this is not only to warm the stomach, but also to reduce the damage of alcohol to the stomach.
Li Laonian picked up a piece of pork belly and put it into his mouth, smacking his lips, and said to Song Mengyao with great satisfaction:
"Mengyao, don't always feel wronged for marrying Guolin.
Look, other families can’t even get enough food, let alone meat.
At least we in Guolin can get back about 20 yuan salary a month, and I can be a team leader at least.
Don't worry, I will never treat you and your mother unfairly when you give birth to your child."
Song Mengyao hated it most when Li Laonian kept talking about moral principles during meals, but she had to endure it.
After all, Li Guolin was the one who took over the baby in her belly. For this, she had to endure it.
He just hoped that her parents could be rehabilitated as soon as possible, so he kicked Li Guolin's face.
As he was eating, Li Laonian suddenly shut his nose:
"What's that smell? Why does it smell so good? Could it be that there's meat stew in the backyard again?"
