In the afternoon, the two brothers Qiao Dashan processed the wild boar, reserved the meat they needed, and let the villagers choose the rest.
After selling the rest of the wild boar, they made a total of 109.60 yuan, except for the portion they kept for themselves.
This is because they are the only two brothers who share the meat, so there is a lot of meat left to sell.
If there are many people going up the mountain to hunt wild boars, there will be almost no meat left after each family has divided the meat, so it is acceptable for each family to get a few dollars or ten dollars from the sales.
Now the money is divided between the two brothers Qiao Dashan and Qiao Xiaoshan.
"I'll just take fifty yuan, and give the remaining few yuan to my parents." said Qiao Xiaoshan.
Qiao Qiping looked at his youngest son's family and said with relief: "You don't need to worry about me. You two brothers can share the money. As long as you two brothers have good parents, that will make me happier than anything else."
Qiao Dashan agreed: "We are here to take care of your parents, don't worry, you can take these few dollars of change, I'll just take fifty, and besides, I get more money, so it's only right that you take more."
"Brother, no need." Xu Li refused. Fang Mei stepped forward and said, "Okay, okay, I'll listen to you, brother."
Xu Li: "No, if it was only a dime or two it would be fine, but this is almost five dollars."
"Here."
"No, no."
"Here."
“No, no.”
…
The familiar scene above started the vicious circle again.
Seeing that the two sisters-in-law were about to get angry over a few dollars, Qiao Xiazhi on the side hurriedly said, "You two are pushing each other here, you don't want it, right? Then give it all to me."
As he said that, Qiao Xiazhi took the money.
Xu Li and Fang Mei were confused again. How did things go back to the way they were before?
Just when the two of them didn't react, Qiao Xiazhi took out another forty cents from his pocket and added it in, then divided it into two, each worth five yuan, and handed them to Qiao Daguo and Qiao Erguo.
"Big brother, second brother, you two take this money and the meat to give to your eldest and second aunts. Be careful on the road, this money is a gift from father and second uncle, you two can't steal it. Also, give the money secretly, understand?"
Qiao Daguo and Qiao Erguo took the money handed over by Qiao Xiazhi and said, "Don't worry, we understand. Then we'll leave."
After saying that, the two of them put the meat into a basket, put the basket on their backs and went out.
It's still early now and we can get back before dark.
Qiao Qiping and Zhu Shizhen have four children in total. The eldest is Qiao Dashan, the second and third are twin sisters, Qiao Xiu'e and Qiao Xiuyun, and the fourth is Qiao Xiaoshan.
Both my elder and younger aunts married in the next brigade, not in the same small brigade, but not far away.
The round trip, including the delay on the road, took about an hour and a half.
Seeing Qiao Xiazhi divide the money among the two aunts, Fang Mei and Xu Li finally felt relieved and seemed to feel more comforted.
This child has really changed for the better.
This time the child thought of things that they didn't think of.
"Okay, let's have dinner together as a family tonight. I'll go cook." Speaking of happiness, Zhu Shizhen was the happiest one.
Everyone wants their sons and daughters to live well.
My son has hunted a wild boar, but he still remembers his two married sisters. He gives some of the money from the sale to them to improve their lives. As a mother, how can I not be happy and relieved?
The amount of money is not the point. The point is that brothers and sisters care about each other, and harmony is the most important thing.
The most important point is that the summer solstice in their family has really changed completely.
This family will definitely get better and better in the future.
In the evening, Zhu Shizhen and his two daughters-in-law cooked.
Braised the pig's head, then cut it in half and gave it to the men in the family to drink with.
Then I stir-fried pig intestines with pickled bamboo shoots.
I also stewed some bone soup and added corn grits to the bones. That’s what I ate in the evening.
No matter how the staple food is arranged, having meat is the happiest thing.
As for the pheasants hunted today, they were sold to the villagers, but the wild rabbits were not sold. Qiao Xiazhi thought that since there was meat to eat at home, she would make some hand-shredded rabbit meat for the villagers to try.
Although it's a bit extravagant, her family still spoils her and lets her do as she pleases.
Anyway, it ended up in everyone's stomach.
Thanks to a wild boar, the lives of the villagers have improved in recent days, and everyone is more energetic to work hard for the upcoming summer harvest.
At the end of the year, the times that make the villagers happiest are the summer harvest, autumn harvest, and slaughtering pigs and distributing grain and money at the end of the year.
Now it is summer harvest time, and the wheat fields are all golden.
The green one is rice, but it will be harvested in autumn.
Everyone should take advantage of the good weather to harvest the wheat and dry it in the sun.
In this way, everyone can wait for the grain to be distributed after it is delivered.
During the summer harvest, almost every household that can contribute goes to the wheat fields.
But Qiao Xiazhi had never done this before, and although things have changed now, she still can't do the job of harvesting wheat for too long.
This is not like working for your own family. If you can do it, do more; if you can't, do less.
Nowadays, we still work in groups. Once we go to the fields, we have to persevere, otherwise we won’t get any work points and it would be in vain.
Instead of this, Qiao Xiazhi might as well read a book at home, and then make some mung bean water or herbal tea for everyone in the afternoon.
This way you can still end up well.
"Xiazhi, thank goodness you have me. You insist on bringing us herbal tea every day to cool us down. Otherwise, it would be really hot to death in this hot weather."
"That's right. Yesterday, I heard someone in the neighboring brigade fainted from the heat. He had heat stroke and was vomiting and having diarrhea. It was really frustrating."
That afternoon, Qiao Xiazhi made some herbal tea for everyone and brought it to them.
