"Alright, Comrade Chu Yan, then I'll leave it to you!"
Chu Yan, with his military background and the mythical military achievements his son so lauded, was sure to broaden Shi Gandang's horizons.
After handing the hunting rifle to Chu Yan, he waited for Chu Yan to get into position, load the gun, and squint slightly, aiming at the wild boar that was slowly moving in front of him...
Bang!
A gunshot rang out, and the shotgun bullet struck the wild boar's head with perfect accuracy.
As the wild boar walked along, it grunted and its massive body collapsed to the ground.
Boom—
Wow! That's amazing!
"Comrade Chu Yan is truly a sharpshooter!"
"How could that hit?"
The young and middle-aged men watching cheered and were amazed by Chu Yan's marksmanship.
On the contrary, the Chu family and the Ye family were used to it.
They grew up together and naturally knew exactly how accurate Chu Yan's marksmanship was.
but……
Ye Nian'an moved closer to Chu Yan and gave him a thumbs up: "Brother Yan, you're really amazing."
Hehe, my wife praised me.
Unbeknownst to him, Chu Yan had become obsessed with love, completely implementing his own strategy to win her over.
As long as Ye Nian'an gives him a word of praise, he feels that everything he does is worthwhile and he is full of energy!
At Shi Minghui's command, the able-bodied men in the village picked up carrying poles, tied the wild boar's limbs together, and carried the wild boar down the mountain with a group of people.
This is a large wild boar, measuring 1.7 meters in length and weighing a whopping 210 kilograms. Transporting such a wild boar down the mountain here would be an extremely strenuous and time-consuming task.
However, people in this era lacked everything except strength and time. The thought of having meat to eat gave them energy, and they happily carried the wild boar down the mountain.
Once the wild boar was carried to the square, the meat was divided up.
The villagers, young and old, all heard about the wild boar hunt and rushed to the square to watch.
Although Shi Minghui called people on short notice, he managed to get quite a few able-bodied young men on board. Basically, everyone except those he couldn't get when he went to visit neighboring villages for the New Year was included, and they could all share the meat.
However, the Bai family happened to be one of the families who went to the neighboring village to pay New Year's visits.
After they heard that a wild boar had been spotted and shot down, they rushed back to the village square in a great hurry.
The group had already started dividing the meat.
Since the Ye and Chu families were the ones who were discovered, they took more meat and could choose any offal they wanted.
This is only natural, after all, they were the ones who discovered the wild boar, and Chu Yan shot it dead, so there was no objection.
Pig offal is something many people dislike these days, so Shi Minghui told Ye Nian'an to take as much as she wanted, and she didn't hesitate, filling a whole bag.
She has a way of turning these pig offal into delicious food; making it into a cold dish is also an excellent choice, and both families love to eat it.
Yang Qiaoqiao and Zhang Aihua's eyes turned red when they saw it.
From the gossip of others, they learned that Ye Nian'an and his group had gone up the back mountain and happened to find the lone wild boar. They quickly sent someone to notify the captain to lead a team up the mountain to hunt the wild boar.
The team leader did his job well, notifying almost every household and asking them to send a able-bodied young man to distribute the meat.
However, those who went out to pay New Year's visits and weren't home can only be considered unlucky and missed out on this round of meat distribution.
"Brother and sister-in-law, aren't you close to Dr. Ye? Ask her to put in a good word with the team leader so we can get a share too."
Meng Sufang frowned imperceptibly: "Second sister-in-law, third sister-in-law, what are you saying? We went to the next village to pay New Year's greetings and didn't help at all."
"Who would dare to plead for meat? Let alone not being able to give it to us, even if we could, we'd all feel ashamed!"
Although her family has a good relationship with Ye Nian'an, they definitely can't say these words out loud. Even if they are as close as sisters, they can't say them out loud, otherwise what would others think if they saw it?
"But brother and sister-in-law, this is meat! Fresh meat! It's all growing and developing. We're so busy and tired from work that we don't get much oil or fat."
"After giving birth to Zuo and You, I haven't had any more babies in all these years. It must be because I'm not getting enough nutrition..."
"Then I can't very well ask! If you want meat, go get it yourselves!"
Upon hearing that she hadn't given birth yet, Meng Sufang became furious.
The second and third wives at least have children, but Meng Sufang's belly still hasn't shown any signs of pregnancy.
I don't know if it's because the Bai family is unlucky in having children. They've both been to the hospital for checkups and confirmed that both of them are fine, but they still can't get pregnant.
Two years ago, she finally got pregnant, but she miscarried, which made them heartbroken for a very long time.
"Yes, it's not like you guys were making a fuss about dividing the family. We went to our elders to get it notarized and made a contract. The brigade leader called so many people today, how could he not have notified our family?"
Bai Xiaofei was most reluctant to mention children, because it would upset Meng Sufang.
No matter how much his relatives urged him over the years, or how much gossip he heard from others, he silently endured it all, not wanting his wife to hear about it.
Unable to conceive, Meng Sufang was more distressed than anyone else; it was about the continuation of life. After being married for many years, she also faced a lot of pressure from gossip and rumors.
"Alright, stop talking nonsense."
Bai Tianyou and Bai Tieshu knew all about their eldest brother's family situation, so they quickly pulled their talkative wives aside.
"That's enough, everyone go home, there's nothing more to see."
Bai Chengshi left Bai Yuxiao at home to take care of his mother, because Li Qiuxia had difficulty traveling.
Although they felt a pang of regret, they knew that if they went along, they could get some wild boar meat and have a treat. But what could they say now?
I already felt very sorry for the Chu family because of Su Mingyue's situation.
Thinking you can use the eldest brother's family's connections to ask Ye Nian'an for meat? That's nothing short of wishful thinking!
"By the way, brother-in-law! Isn't he at home? Could he have gone to help hunt wild boars?"
Yang Qiaoqiao then remembered Bai Yuxiao's presence and quickly looked around.
Bai Chengshi rolled his eyes at his second son's wife: "Come on, Yu Xiao has to take care of his mother, where would he find the time? Besides, if we want to share the wild boar meat, we need to take turns carrying it down the mountain."
"This wild boar was found in the middle of the back mountain. The road there was difficult to walk, and it was tiring and heavy. Yu Xiao couldn't carry it at all!"
Even after working for a while, Bai Yuxiao's physique was still more like that of a scholar, and she didn't earn many work points.
However, Bai Yuxiao didn't eat much; she was just able to feed herself. She was waiting for the college entrance examination to be relaxed so she could take the exam.
Yang Qiaoqiao was almost driven mad with anger.
