Your mother had to go to great lengths to coax you, saying that the tiger would come back that night, before you finally went to school.
"If Xinhua doesn't see Hu after school, he might cry." Sheng Liancheng said with great regret.
"It's actually better that they didn't come back. This morning when you went into the mountains, how many of you saw those three tigers? During the day, people came to our house to inquire about them."
"Now, people's hearts are restless, not as simple as before. It's good that Hua Hua Shao is back." Sheng Liancheng sighed repeatedly.
The father and son chatted for a bit, and Sheng Xiping had rested enough, so they each dragged a black bear into the forest.
Sheng Xiping left home before six in the morning. With the help of Hua Hua's mother and two others, the trip went very smoothly, and he arrived home around one o'clock.
At this time, many people have finished lunch; students are heading back to school, and working people are heading to their workplaces.
The Sheng father and son were seen dragging a black bear into the forest when they were spotted by passersby.
"Oh my, is this the black bear that hurt people?"
"It has to be Xiping! He's really capable. Others couldn't fight him in the mountains, but you, all by yourself, would have been killed by the black bear." Someone praised him after seeing this.
"Hey, what are you saying? Others use dogs to hunt, but Xiping uses tigers. How can that be the same?"
"Haven't you heard? This morning Xiping took three tigers into the mountains. With the king of the mountains around, what prey can't he hunt?"
Some people disagree, saying that Sheng Xiping was just lucky to have raised a few tigers.
If it were anyone else, with a tiger to help them, hunting would be a piece of cake.
"Hey, Xiping, where are the tigers? Where did your three tigers go?" Someone looked around and, not seeing any tigers, asked.
"Those aren't my tigers, I can't afford to keep them. They only come back to the forest occasionally, they're gone now," Sheng Xiping said with a faint smile, casually brushing it off.
Upon hearing this, the person next to him curled their lip, said nothing, and left.
The Sheng father and son didn't care what others said. They dragged Hei Xiazi and led the dog back to their home.
Sheng Liancheng dealt with the black bear from last night this morning.
Although he can't hunt, he can still do things like skinning and butchering.
As autumn arrives, the black bears fatten up, and they've gotten quite plump. This morning, Zhang Shuzhen processed all the fatty meat to render oil, leaving only the lean meat, which she soaked in cold water to eat slowly.
The couple had just finished tending to the female black bear in the morning, and after they had just finished eating, Sheng Xiping brought back two cubs.
So the family of three got to work, skinned and butchered the two animals, kept most of them, and sent the rest to several other families in the area.
The Sheng family now consists of five people, and Xinhua and Xinyu are still small. If we can't eat all that meat, it will go bad. It's better to share it with everyone.
After a busy day, Zhang Shuzhen stir-fried some bear leg meat with green peppers, stewed some green beans, and served a plate of oily dishes in the evening.
The two children were overjoyed and sat down, eager to eat.
Just then, Sheng Xiping heard a dog whimpering outside. He wondered who it was; judging from the dog's whimpering, it was someone he knew.
Sheng Xiping put down his chopsticks and went out to check, only to find that it was his sixth son, Sheng Xitai, who had returned.
"Sixth Brother? Why are you back at this hour? Isn't it Tuesday? What happened?"
Sheng Xitai was playing with the dog when he heard his older brother's commotion and laughed.
"Brother, the day after tomorrow is National Day, and the sports meet will be held in the next two days. After the sports meet ends in the afternoon, the school will give us a holiday."
I went to find Uncle Zhou, and he helped arrange a car to take us back.
High school is different from elementary and middle school. Students only have Sunday afternoons off, and they have to attend evening classes on Sunday nights.
Each month, the school gives students two days off so they can go home and collect their living expenses.
It just so happened that it was National Day, and the school had some activities, so they gave us an early monthly break.
