The tractor went to the brigade's drying dam to pick up Boss Xiong and old man Li Guanghui who were waiting there, took the remaining ninety yuan, and after they put on the bedding and covered the people, rushed to the town as quickly as possible and sent the people to the hospital.
The people who went with them were waiting outside for the doctor to give the two people intravenous drips and stitches. Xiong Dahai and his wife and Li Guanghui's mother and husband were standing at the door, watching eagerly.
Zhou Huaian glanced at Li Guangming, and walked to his side with Zhou Yiding, took out a cigarette and handed it to him, "Guanghui is fine, don't worry."
Li Guangming took the cigarette and said apologetically: "I'm sorry for putting you on the fire today."
Zhou Huaian smiled and said, "It's okay. I'm just a second-rate guy and I'm not afraid of them gossiping."
After hearing this, Li Guangming said with shame: "We used to say bad things about you, but now we think we are not as good as you and Yiding."
"It's okay, we're used to it!" Zhou Yiding smiled and nudged him, "Did you really go to the old forest?"
Li Guangming recalled the scene at that time and was still terrified. "If they had not gone in, they would have died today."
Zhou Yiding looked at him in surprise. "Then why were you attacked by wild boars? Could it be that the wild boars came down the mountain again?"
He thought that in previous years when it snowed in the mountains, the wild boars on the mountains would come down and destroy the crops, but now it is not snowing yet, so the wild boars should not come down the mountain!
"Alas!" Li Guangming sighed and said with a look of regret, "We originally..."
It turned out that after they killed the wild boar last time, they didn't dare to go to Lao Lin because they didn't have any powerful weapons in their hands. They only dared to look for wild animals in several nearby hills.
After more than ten days of no gain, the unwilling group decided to try their luck at the foot of the mountain where they had hunted wild boars last time. Halfway through the journey, they encountered two sows with a group of piglets digging in the mud in a valley.
Wild boars, like wolves, are social animals. In wolves, the alpha leads the pack, while in wild boars, the sow is the leader and is responsible for raising offspring. A pack is generally composed of one or more reproductive female wild boars and their last litter of pups.
Male wild boars act alone most of the time, and only return to the group during the breeding season to compete with other male wild boars for the opportunity to mate with female wild boars.
After seeing this, the youngest bear and his companions thought of driving the sow away and getting a few wild boars to sell as suckling piglets. This would be more profitable than hunting big pigs and would also be less risky.
After discussing it, the youngest Xiong shot the sow away, while Li Guanghui and others took hoes and shovels to capture the little wild boar.
Maybe it was just bad luck, the sow happened to roll over when the bullet was fired, and the bullet grazed the sow and hit a piglet, spraying blood all over the sow's face.
The sow screamed strangely, turned around and rushed towards the youngest bear madly. In the blink of an eye, she was in front of the youngest bear, knocked him to the ground with one bite, and pounced on him to bite him.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Li Guangming and his companions did not care to be afraid, and rushed over with a large shovel and hit the pig's head hard. The wild boar let go of the youngest bear and turned around to chase the few people.
When Li Guanghui was climbing the slope, he slipped and fell, and his leg was bitten by a wild boar. Another person who went with him picked up a hunting rifle and shot the wild boar in the belly, and then the few of them escaped.
After Xiong Laoya and Li Guanghui climbed up the mountain, they fainted, probably due to excessive blood loss.
Li Guangming and two other people brought the two men to the top of the mountain, where they met fellow villagers who were hunting. He ran down the mountain to find help...
Zhou Yiding thought of the time when he and Xu Erchun were injured, and they also encountered a sow with piglets. He glanced at Zhou Huaian and said, "Any wild animal with piglets should not be provoked."
Zhou Huaian nodded, "Wild animals protect their cubs just like humans."
Li Guangming thought for a moment and said, "I think so. After the piglet's blood spurted out, the sow ran as fast as lightning. We didn't have time to react before she was in front of the youngest bear."
Zhou Yiding: “It’s scary just thinking about it.”
Zhou Huaian saw that it would take a while inside, thinking about how long he hadn't visited Zhou Yumei, "Guangming, I'm going to go see my sister and will be back soon."
"That's right! That's right!" Li Guangming responded repeatedly.
"I'll go with you." Zhou Yiding didn't want to wait there, so he followed him into the street.
Zhou Huaian felt in his pocket and took out a five-cent coin and a few bills. "Let's go to the agency first and get some sugar for my sister."
Zhou Yiding looked at him with disdain, "If it weren't for the Xiong family's money, this is all you have in your pocket? Alas! Married men are so pitiful! I'm a little scared when I think about it now!"
Zhou Huaian rolled his eyes. "One dollar and twenty cents is already a lot. Have you forgotten that I didn't even have enough money to buy spring ploughing?"
Zhou Yiding laughed and said, "Yeah, your trouser pockets were often cleaner than your face back then."
Zhou Huaian nodded, "Yes, at most I only have two or three yuan, and it's common to have empty pockets. To be honest, I used to think Erchun and Dakuan were as poor as I am.
Later I realized that they were both better off than me, and they both saved up some money, but I was so poor and stingy!"
Zhou Yiding rolled his eyes at him and said, "You are the one who is generous even though poor. Nine out of ten times when we come to town to watch movies, you are the one who pays. You are obviously a poor guy, but you still rush to pay!"
Zhou Huaian: "You are the same, how dare you say that to me!"
"I only paid for the ticket because I couldn't bear to see you laughing."
The two of them bickered all the way and soon arrived at the agency store. They weighed out two kilograms of sugar, and then thought about it and weighed out some peach cakes, which just finished the other two kilograms.
The salesperson tied up the white sugar and cloud cake with a hemp rope. Zhou Yiding weighed two kilograms of cloud cake and asked him to carry it together. Then the two of them walked towards Zhou Yumei's house together.
Zhou Yiding took a piece of peach cake, peeled off the pieces one by one and put them into his mouth. "There are too few walnuts, it's not satisfying at all. Youngest, how about we go weigh a few kilograms of rice and ask Second Mother to make peach cake?"
After hearing this, Zhou Huaian remembered that Yang Chunyan was hungry recently, "That's right! Buy a few more pounds and make it at home to fill your sister-in-law's stomach when she's hungry."
"Okay!" Zhou Yiding put the last piece in his mouth and looked around. "We will go through the alley and reach the school gate."
"Uh-huh!"
A few minutes later, the two arrived at He's house. Seeing that the gate was open and no one was in the yard, Zhou Huaian knocked on the door, "Is anyone home? Sister, sister!"
"I'm here!" Zhou Yumei came out of the kitchen, holding her waist. Seeing the two of them, she greeted them with surprise, "Why are you here? Have you eaten?"
"I've eaten. Someone in the village was attacked by a wild boar, so we sent him to town for stitches." Zhou Huaian smiled and handed her the sugar and cakes, "Yiding and I bought them for you."
Zhou Yiding smiled and said, "Yunpian Cake is delicious."
"Thank you, Yiding!" Zhou Yumei took it with a smile, "Come in and sit for a while!"
Zhou Huaian smiled and said, "No, we have to go back and wait to pick the people up!"
"It won't waste time to sit for a while." Zhou Yumei smiled and pulled the two into the yard. "Has Yiding found a partner?"
Zhou Yiding scratched his head and said embarrassedly, "I've found one. We'll hold a wedding banquet in the spring."
Zhou Yumei said happily after hearing this: "It's so fast! You all have started your own families in a blink of an eye."
Zhou Yiding smiled and nodded, "That's right, you've been married for more than a year, and we're almost uncles."
Zhou Huaian looked around and said, "Sister, are you home alone? Where's your brother-in-law?"
Zhou Yumei smiled and said, "His mother's husband went to a relative's house for a wedding banquet, and your brother-in-law went to dig the ground after dinner."
Zhou Huaian: "Are you going to transplant the rapeseed seedlings soon?"
Zhou Yumei: "Yes! We will start transplanting in two or three days. Your brother-in-law is rushing to hoe the last piece of land. He said the rapeseed seedlings are growing well this year, so the harvest next year should be good!"
Zhou Huaian was relieved to see that she looked more relaxed than before, "Take care of yourself. If there is anything, I will take the letter home."
Zhou Yumei looked at him with a smile, "It's okay, the midwife came to see, and she said everything is fine!"
The three of them chatted for a while, then Zhou Huaian and Yiding said goodbye and went out, returning the same way they came.
The two of them walked into the alley and not far away, they saw He Jianjun and a woman walking towards them, talking and laughing. When they were happy, the woman even patted him coquettishly...
Zhou Yiding frowned and looked for a few times, then turned his head and said, "Youngest brother, does that man opposite look like Sister Yumei's man?"
"That bitch!" Zhou Huaian looked coldly at He Jianjun who was standing still, "Oh~ Brother-in-law He is quite busy, digging the ground even in the alley!"
If he wasn't worried about Zhou Yumei getting upset, he would have smashed the scumbag's face.
He Jianjun saw Zhou Huaian and the other man were stunned for a moment, and quickly distanced himself from the woman, "Youngest, where are you from?"
"I just came out of your house. My sister said you were digging!" Zhou Huaian said, looking askance at the woman who was standing there with a red face, not knowing whether to leave or stay. "Is this your sister? Why don't you introduce her?"
"Yes!" He Jianjun thought about it and said quickly, "No!"
Zhou Huaian stared at him, "You've confused me. Is it true or not?"
He Jianjun hesitated for a moment and said, "Her name is Lin Aihong and she is my classmate. Don't think too much about it."
Zhou Huaian sneered, "I asked you if she was your sister, and you said yes, then no, and then you said she was a classmate. I didn't say anything, you are just overthinking it!"
He Jianjun blushed and nodded, "Yes, it's a classmate!"
Zhou Huaian stroked his chin, looked at him, then looked at the woman, and said in a strange tone, "Oh! Now I understand, they are classmates!" He turned his head and looked at Zhou Yiding, "Did you hear that? He said they are classmates!"
Zhou Yiding nodded heavily and glanced at Lin Aihong, "I heard it. Digging the ground was fake, but walking around the alley with classmates was real!"
The contemptuous looks from the two made Lin Aihong feel uneasy. She hurriedly said, "Jianjun, I'm leaving first." After saying that, she left in a hurry.
He Jianjun looked at the two anxiously, "As the youngest, there is really nothing wrong between Aihong and me! In the afternoon, I went to dig the fields and saw Aihong carrying a load of corn. I saw that she couldn't carry it, so I helped her carry it home..."
"Brother-in-law He!" Zhou Yiding interrupted him with a smile, "I understand. You help her carry the corn home first, and then she sends you out to thank you, and then you send her home! Tsk tsk, kids don't know how to play like you!" (End of this chapter)
