Chapter 85 A Rich Harvest
Some family members in the village did not wait for their relatives to return home, but ran to the village party secretary's house to inquire about the situation.
So, at this moment, the courtyard of the village chief's house was crowded with villagers, and everyone was chattering about whether they should go to the mountain together to look for someone.
The village party secretary said, let’s wait and see.
He was anxious, but it was too dark to go up the mountain.
"Secretary, let's go to the mountain and look for him as soon as possible. I only have this one son. If anything happens to him, I will die!" A woman slapped her thighs with both hands, feeling extremely anxious.
"Yes, Secretary, if anything happens to my husband, what will happen to me and my children in the future?" Another younger woman also looked worried.
In short, if someone in the family goes to the mountains, they will inevitably worry.
Everyone was arguing, and the village party secretary was getting overwhelmed.
Liu Yinyin was also very anxious. Although she knew that Gu Cheng was quite skilled, she was still afraid that something might happen...
The group of people waited for a while, but still didn't see anyone coming back.
Suddenly, the crowd became even more noisy, and they all shouted for the village party secretary to go to the mountain to look for someone.
As a last resort, the village party secretary had to take everyone out.
There is no other way. If he doesn't go, these people will tear down his house.
If Liu Yinyin hadn't brought her child with her, she would have gone with them.
However, not long after everyone left, they heard cheers from outside.
I could faintly hear someone shouting, "I'm back!" "I'm back!"
Liu Yinyin carried her son to the door and saw that everyone was walking back.
In the moonlight, Liu Yinyin saw Gu Cheng walking behind the crowd. He was tall and walked steadily, and there didn't seem to be anything unusual.
Liu Yinyin felt relieved and stood at the door waiting for them.
The secretary's wife heard the noise and came out. She took a closer look and was surprised and delighted: "Oh my God, they really killed a wild boar. It looks like there's more than one!"
Those who went to the mountains to hunt wild boars this time had a good harvest.
One, two, three...
Five wild boars!
There was also a roe deer, several pheasants and hares.
Everyone who came back had a happy look on their faces.
Gu Cheng picked up two pheasants and saw Liu Yinyin and her son at the door, so he gave the pheasant in his hand to Zhao Jianguo.
"Are you okay?" Liu Yinyin asked him. She faintly smelled a scent of blood.
I don't know whether it came from a human or a prey.
"Don't worry, nothing's wrong." Gu Cheng smiled and reached out to hug his son.
Gu Yanyan rarely gave him face and turned her head away, refusing to let Gu Cheng hug her.
Liu Yinyin smiled and said, "Go wash yourself first, you smell bad."
She found that Gu Yanyan was a bit of a clean freak and was quite fond of cleanliness.
Gu Cheng smiled. He was indeed dirty, so he didn't touch Gu Yanyan again.
Of the people who went to the mountains to hunt wild boars this time, only two suffered minor injuries, but they were not serious, and the rest were fine.
After hunting so many wild boars, this trip was quite rewarding.
Zhao Jianguo was also very excited and said happily: "Sister-in-law, your family will definitely get a lot of pork this time."
Liu Yinyin smiled slightly and said, "Everyone is the same, right?"
We all hunted the prey together, so if we have to share it, we should share it together.
Zhao Jianguo shook his head and said, "It's definitely different. Your Gu Cheng is very capable and has obtained the most things."
Whatever is on the mountain belongs to whoever hunts it, and only those who hunt together can share it equally.
Today's prey included a little wild boar and a roe deer, which were hunted by Gu Cheng alone.
Not to mention pheasants and rabbits, he caught the most.
The other wild boars also contributed to Chengdu's success and had a share of the blame.
Liu Yinyin was a little confused and looked at Gu Cheng: "Is that so?"
Gu Cheng said frankly: "Not necessarily. I don't know how they will divide it."
After all, he was not from Wangjia Village, so whether he could get a share of the prey depended on the attitude of the villagers.
Zhao Jianguo said angrily: "Why? How can they not share the meat with you? If it weren't for you, they might not have been able to find the wild boar. Are they planning to destroy the bridge after crossing the river?"
Gu Cheng didn't care much: "Whatever you want."
Zhao Jianguo patted his shoulder and said, "Don't worry, I'll talk to the branch secretary later and I'm sure you won't suffer any loss."
It doesn't make sense that Gu Cheng helped the people of Wangjia Village but didn't get any benefits at all.
"Thank you, Brother Zhao. I'll treat you to meat later." Liu Yinyin said gratefully.
She wasn't greedy for the wild boar meat, but... Gu Cheng had put in so much effort, and Liu Yinyin didn't want him to work in vain, so he had to take what he deserved.
Zhao Jianguo smiled and said, "I think it's OK."
He had a large family and no matter how much meat they had, it was not enough, so he didn't bother to be polite to Gu Cheng and his wife.
The wild boars we hunted have all died. It’s hot and the pork cannot be kept overnight, so we have to process the wild boars tonight.
The village party secretary told a group of people to distribute the pork tonight. After everyone shared the pork, they could take it home and deal with it themselves more conveniently.
It was already dark, so the wild boar was thrown at the doorstep of the Party Secretary's house for disposal.
Someone brought an oil lamp and circled the wild boars. In the dim light, they could still see clearly.
The wild boar had to be slaughtered before the meat could be distributed. For a while, the door of the branch secretary's house was very busy. Everyone was excited thinking that there would be pork to be distributed soon.
Some villagers whose families had no one to go hunting wild boars also came over to join in the fun. Someone in the crowd couldn't help but ask with envy: "Secretary, there is so much pork, shouldn't you give us some too?"
"What? Wang Ergou, what are you talking about!" Before the village party secretary could even open his mouth to speak, someone jumped out to object, "You didn't go to the mountain, why should we share the wild boars we hunted with great effort with you?"
Anyway, these twenty or so people who went hunting wild boars would definitely not be willing to share the meat with others.
The meat from five wild boars sounds like a lot, but if the whole village has to share it, how much meat can each person get?
Why should they give away the wild boars they hunted with so much effort for nothing?
Wang Ergou said nonchalantly: "Why? Isn't it said that... now everything in the mountains belongs to the collective, and we are also part of the collective, so why can't we share it!
Secretary, don’t you agree? It was you who held a meeting for the villagers and said that the fields and mountains have become collective property. If anyone wants to take them for themselves, they are undermining the collective!”
"Wang Ergou, do you still have any shame?" The man pouted. "In the end, you just want to take advantage of us."
Every village has some people who like to eat but are lazy, and Wang Ergou is one of them.
He was afraid of the danger and dared not go to the mountain, but when he saw others hunting wild boars, he thought of taking advantage of them.
In fact, there is such a regulation now, and everything in the village has been collectivized, but people’s concept of “collective” is not deep yet.
