Yang Chunyan went out and took out the small blood vine leaves that were drying in the house and gave them to Sanwa who was sitting on the steps. "Take this back and mash it to apply on the wound. It's best to get some anti-inflammatory medicine when you go back."
"Thank you!" Sanwa took it with a red face and went into the house with the medicine. "Auntie, this medicine that the elder sister gave me, let you..."
Lin Weidong said to them, "That's from Brother Huai'an's house. This is the herb I applied on my body."
Yuan Hongmei took the herb and looked at it. "I think I've seen this herb somewhere before. I'll go ask the girl from the Zhou family what it's called and pick some for you to apply on your skin."
Lin Weidong nodded and said, "Go and ask. If they don't want to tell you, don't ask."
"I understand." Yuan Hongmei took the empty bowl to the kitchen, exchanged a few polite words with Wan Xuejiao, and went to the courtyard to talk to Yang Chunyan.
"Sisters, thank you so much. If it weren't for you, my Weidong would have been..."
Yang Chunyan glanced at her and smiled faintly, "I just happened to meet someone who wanted to lend a hand."
"You are such a nice person, so you say that." Yuan Hongmei diligently helped her turn over the small blood vines and said, "Sister, what is the name of the herb you applied to Weidong? I think I saw it in the mountain behind my home."
Yang Chunyan: "Little blood vine, there are dark red fruits hanging on the vines these days..."
Yuan Hongmei said gratefully: "Thank you, thank you! I will find some for them when I get home."
After Yang Chunyan had turned over and dried the herbs, she heard the dog barking affectionately at the gate. She walked over and saw Zhou Huaian walking in with a backpack on his back. "You're back, why are you here so soon?"
"I drove the tractor there." Zhou Huaian looked at her with a smile, "Did you leave any food for me? I'm starving."
"I know you guys will be back for dinner, so I deliberately started the fire a little later so we can eat together when you come back."
"Thank you!" Zhou Huaian smiled and said, "Has anyone from the Lin family come?"
"I'm here. I'll sit on the steps and wait for you to come back and divide the money." Yang Chunyan pulled him and said, "I think Sister Lin is a smart person."
Zhou Huaian didn't care. "She is smart as she wants. We won't take any more from her."
Yang Chunyan thought about it and said, "Yiding invited them to have a meal. They said they brought some dry food. When you come, you should quickly give them the money so that they can leave easily."
"Okay, give them the money as soon as we get home."
When they entered the yard, they saw Zhou Yiding, who was sleeping in the room. He was also woken up by Wan Xuejiao and was waiting for them there.
As soon as Zhou Yiding saw him, he asked, "Has it been sold?"
Zhou Huaian glanced at Yuan Hongmei and the other two and nodded, "We sold it. We bought the bear paws from that store, and found someone to help sell the meat."
Yuan Hongmei waited for him to finish speaking and then said some words of gratitude, and then they went into the room.
Zhou Huaian went to the room and took off his waist bag. He counted the money in front of everyone and said to Lin Weidong, "The total sales amount is 1,216. I spent 16 yuan to ask someone to help me buy cigarettes and other things, so I have 1,200 left."
When Yuan Hongmei and the other two heard that it was sold for so much money, their eyes widened.
Lin Weidong said gratefully: "It's my duty. If you didn't have the connections, we would just sell our gallbladders."
Yuan Hongmei looked at the thick Great Unity and felt an indescribable feeling in her heart besides being happy.
The third and fourth children swallowed their saliva excitedly. It was great that they had also seen a lot of money.
Zhou Huaian counted out six hundred and gave them to Lin Weidong, "Brother Lin, this is your six hundred."
Lin Weidong quickly asked Yuan Hongmei to take it and looked at him gratefully, "Thank you, brother Huai'an, thank you, brother Yiding. If it weren't for you, I..."
Zhou Huaian said with a smile: "Brother Lin, you're really welcome. We also divided the money."
"You can't say that. It's because of your kindness that I am able to sit here and receive the money today." Lin Weidong said to the third and fourth children, "Help me up."
"Yes!" Yuan Hongmei hurriedly went forward with the two brothers to help him off the bed.
Lin Weidong bowed respectfully to them and said, "Thank you!"
Zhou Huaian hurriedly supported him, "Brother Lin, stop doing this!"
Lin Weidong stood up and said, "I won't say much about my gratitude. We'll go down the mountain now."
Zhou Huaian nodded, "The stretcher from last night is still there. I'll carry it out and you can use it."
"I'll help you carry it." Zhou Yiding also went out to help carry the stretcher.
The three and four kids helped Lin Weidong to the door and laid him down on the stretcher.
After Zhou Huaian and the others exchanged some polite words, they handed the dog to Yuan Hongmei and sent them out.
Yang Chunyan and Wan Xuejiao set the table and waited for the two men to come back and start eating.
Zhou Yiding took a few bites and said, "Youngest brother, sister-in-law and Xuejiao said they want to go hunting with us in the valley, what do you think we should do?"
Zhou Huaian looked at Yang Chunyan with a headache, "If you are not feeling well, then why don't you go?"
Yang Chunyan: "Old bears have appeared in the forest one after another. You two are so quick to run away when you see an old bear. If you want to go, take us with you to save you the risk."
Wan Xuejiao nodded heavily, "Yes!"
"Alas!" Zhou Huaian sighed as he looked at the two of them, picked up the bowl, and said, "Let's not talk about this for now, let's eat. After we eat, let's go see the beehives."
Yang Chunyan didn't insist and nodded, "Did you buy salt to pickle the bear meat?"
"I bought it. Brother Huang helped me buy it." Zhou Huaian said with a smile, "Doctor Wang's department store is doing much better business than his pharmacy. He said he wanted to go to Yangcheng on the coast to have a look. I heard there are many good products there."
Zhou Yiding heard this and said, "I wish we could go to the beach someday."
Zhou Huaian smiled and said, "In the future, we can go out without a letter of introduction. Let's go and take a look."
After they had finished their meal, Zhou Huaian and Zhou Yiding carried the bear meat out of the cave, while Yang Chunyan and Wan Xuejiao cut the bear oil, and the two of them used knives to cut the lean meat from the bear's legs.
Cut the bear oil into small pieces and pour it into the pot. Add a small ladle of water and boil it. After the water is boiled away, the oil will slowly be refined.
When all the fat in the bear oil in the pot has been refined and the residue has turned golden yellow, use a colander to filter out the excess oil in the residue, sprinkle some pepper salt or sugar on it, mix it, pinch a piece and put it in your mouth. It tastes crispy and delicious.
Wan Xuejiao ate two pieces of fat residue and looked at the half pot of bear fat in the pot. "It's really fat, almost as fat as a big pig."
Yang Chunyan came out with two jars. "These few days are the time when wild animals in the mountains are growing fat, so they both wanted to go hunting."
Wan Xuejiao also took a spoon to help scoop the oil into the can. "I'm just worried about encountering wild animals. It's too scary."
"Yes, living in peace is the most important thing."
At this time Zhou Huaian walked in, "The meat has been cut, you two stay at home to pickle the meat, we will go to the forest to see the beehives."
Yang Chunyan nodded, "Be careful and come back soon."
"Hmm!" Zhou Huaian grabbed a few pieces of oil residue and put them in his mouth. "It's delicious, so fragrant and oily."
"There are too many. We saved most of them. You can put them in the cave and make dumplings for tomorrow."
"Okay!" Zhou Huaian picked up the porcelain basin and left. (End of this chapter)
