Chapter 105: Brothers don’t hold grudges overnight
Shen Meng looked at the sheep that had already died, and then looked at the strong Lu Zhenping. This guy dragged two sheep home just like that. It can be seen that his arm strength is amazing. She raised her hand and touched it curiously.
Hmm! Bang Bang Hard!!!
"Don't come close, I smell of blood. We will keep one of the two goats. I will pack them up and send half to your mother's family. I will give some to the old mansion. The rest will belong to us. The other one will be handed over to the production team, and the production team will divide it among the villagers."
Shen Meng nodded. When she packed the sheep later, the bloody smell would definitely come out. In addition, goats are fishy. If she didn't hand one over, someone might suspect something happened at home!
"Didn't you go to help Jiasheng with work? You dragged two goats back there?"
Lu Zhenping was in a good mood when she looked at him. He chuckled and said, "I had nothing to do, so I went up the mountain for a run. I met them when I was going down the mountain. Unfortunately, I only caught two of them. The others ran away. I was lucky because these two goats are stupid and run slowly, otherwise I couldn't catch them."
Shen Meng: "......."
To be honest, it sounds a bit Versailles!!!
The children who were doing their homework in the house heard the noise outside and ran out to see. They were so excited that they cheered and surrounded the two dead goats, marveling at them. They were not very close to Lu Zhenping before, but now they looked at him with admiration in their eyes.
"Don't rush to clean up the goats yet. Haven't eaten yet? There's soup in the pot. I'll make you a bowl of noodles. Eat and then I'll do it."
"Okay."
Shen Meng was dazzled by Lu Zhenping's smile. She couldn't understand why he worked for half a day and went to the mountains again, but her eyes seemed to be scattering little stars.
A big bowl of noodles was quickly eaten. Lu Zhenping took a kitchen knife and cleaned up the wild goats in the yard. These two silly goats were not small, and they looked like they were about 50 or 60 kilograms. Their fur was quite shiny. The children were not afraid and just watched them.
The smell was so strong that Shen Meng could hardly stand it. Before entering the house, she pointed at the fur on the ground and said, "Keep this fur. If the goat is given to the production team, the fur must be given to us. When it gets cold, we can make vests for the children. If the fur is not enough, we can make cotton shoes. Anyway, we can't let others get it for free. Oh, the smell is too strong. I'm going back to the house. Mingyang, don't watch for too long. Go to bed early."
"Okay, I'll listen to you."
Lu Zhenping didn't stop working. He cleaned the sheep, put the offal in a sand basin, cut the mutton, and hurried the children into the house to sleep. He cut more than five kilograms of mutton and a piece of mutton fat, tied it with a straw rope, and carried it to the old courtyard.
Zhou Jiaojiao and Lu Jiaxuan came back from outside. When they passed by the door of Shen Meng's house, they smelled a strong smell of blood and sheep. They paused.
"Jiaxuan, did you smell the sheep killed in big brother's house?"
"No way, he bought a sheep and killed it at home. Oh, no, big brother must have hunted some game in the mountains. In the past, in winter, big brother would go to the mountains whenever he was at home, and he would often bring back pheasants and rabbits. Did he bring back a goat this time?"
Zhou Jiaojiao's eyes lit up. Now the weather was getting colder. If she could drink a mouthful of mutton soup at this time of year, she would feel warm all over. Besides, mutton is the most nourishing food for women.
"Jiaxuan, why don't we go to eldest brother's house to take a look."
Lu Jiaxuan paused, he snorted and said, "No, I can get my salary this month. If you want to eat mutton, I'll buy it for you. You are pregnant now, let's not stay outside for too long, let's go home!"
Zhou Jiaojiao knew that Lu Jiaxuan still remembered the last time Lu Zhenping beat him in public, but eldest brother also lost money, and the two little guys also apologized to her. She felt that as long as Lu Jiaxuan's salary was not lost, she could bear this little grievance.
"Jiaxuan, what are you doing? Do I want mutton? I want to take this opportunity to make peace between you and my elder brother. There is no overnight grudge between two brothers. Besides, your elder brother never beat you when you were little. Although you have started your own families now, you are still brothers after all. As the old saying goes, brothers fight tigers together and fathers and sons fight in battle. You have your own elder brother, so why should you be ashamed? Just talk and laugh, and this hurdle can be overcome, right?"
Lu Jiaxuan turned around, held Zhou Jiaojiao's shoulders with both hands, and sighed helplessly.
"I'm just afraid that you'll get wronged, Jiaojiao. Look at you before, you had shiny black hair, and two long, thick braids. Now, you've been messed up by those two brats. I really am. If it happens again, I will still beat them up."
"They were born by their mother, but not raised by her. Why bother with them? I don't feel wronged. What are you wronged about? The most important thing is to establish a good relationship with eldest brother. Elder brother has acquaintances in the Revolutionary Committee. You don't want to be converted to a regular employee or get promoted in this job. Don't act on impulse, okay?"
After hearing these words, even though Lu Jiaxuan was angry, he was willing to endure it for the sake of his wife and children. Although he relied on his eldest brother's relationship, he himself had real ability.
"Okay, Jiaojiao, you wait for me. I will give you a bright future with my own ability. You can stay at home every day to take care of the children and enjoy the good life!"
"Okay, I'll wait!"
These words touched Zhou Jiaojiao's heart. She has been very diligent since she got married. She did this to convince the people of the Lu family and make them unable to find fault with her. If Lu Jiaxuan can bring honor to the family in the future, she must also have a share of the glory.
The two of them stuck together for a long time before they walked towards Shen Meng's house. Just as they were about to knock on the door, it opened from the inside. Lu Zhenping almost threw the meat in his hand onto Zhou Jiaojiao's face.
"Oh, I'm scared to death."
"Brother, go slower, you'll scare Jiaojiao."
Lu Zhenping: "...Why are you standing at the door of my house as a door god in the middle of the night?"
Zhou Jiaojiao's eyes were fixed on the mutton in Lu Zhenping's hand. It was such a big piece, and there was a piece of lard on it. She was so greedy that she really wanted to cook it and eat it on the spot.
"No, brother. Jiaxuan and I just smelled blood. We were afraid something happened to your family, so we came to see you. Where are you going with all that meat?"
"I'm sending it to my parents. I caught a goat in the mountains, skinned it, cut some meat for myself, and will send it to the production team later."
Zhou Jiaojiao was panicked when she heard this. How could such precious things be sent to the production team? There are so many people in the production team. How can they get any meat when the meat is divided? What he caught should naturally be given to the Lu family for their own consumption!
