The next day, at the same time as yesterday, Uncle Qin really showed up on time.
But this time, only Uncle Qin and Uncle Qin II came. The father-in-law, who had just married his daughter, really didn't miss his daughter and didn't come with them.
But today's prey is really much less than yesterday's.
Two wild boars, more than ten snakes, more than ten rabbits, and five pheasants were gone.
Tigers, wolves, nothing at all.
"Dongsheng, we have already explored the outer perimeter of the mountain. There is no more prey."
Uncle Qin said, "If you want to hunt, you have to go deeper. But our hunter has always hunted on the periphery and has never gone deep into the area. So, he needs to familiarize himself with it before going in."
"It's okay, uncle. With the prey we caught today, I think you'll have enough food to last until October when the crops are ripe."
Jia Dongsheng didn't care. He made more than 2,000 yuan yesterday. Even if he didn't make much today, he could still make a few hundred yuan. Adding up, it was 3,000 yuan. What was there to be dissatisfied about?
"But uncle, I still want to remind you."
"Dongsheng, you talk, I'm listening."
Uncle Qin knew that Jia Dongsheng was a capable person, so he was happy to listen to what Jia Dongsheng said.
"I have a feeling this year's harvest will be even worse. Try to save the food you exchanged for food. If the famine doesn't end, you won't be as hungry as you were this year."
"hiss......"
Uncle Qin took a deep breath. If things really developed as Jia Dongsheng said, then he would have to be frugal. After all, it was really hard to endure during those years of famine.
"Okay, okay, I'll tell the commune secretary what you said when I get back. We must use it sparingly and eliminate waste."
"That's all I'm saying."
This is all Jia Dongsheng can remind you of. After all, you mean well, but outsiders may not think so. Just keep your words to yourself.
"By the way, uncle, I would like to ask you, uncle number two, and my dad to help me with something."
"What's the matter?" Uncle Qin was a little confused. In his opinion, Jia Dongsheng, who lived in the city, lived a life like a god. It was too strange that such a person would ask them to do something.
"That's right."
Jia Dongsheng smiled and said, "Old hens are hard to buy in the city nowadays, so I thought, let's raise a few at home."
Having said that, there was a slight pause. Jia Dongsheng observed for a while and found that there was no expression of dissatisfaction on the faces of Uncle Qin Da and Uncle Qin Er. He nodded slightly in his heart and thought that these two people were not bad.
Yes, this was a test, and of course it was true, but Jia Dongsheng was not taking advantage.
"But Uncle, Uncle Two, don't think too much. I'm asking you to help me raise chickens, not to use the food I've exchanged this time. I'll get you some rice bran and use it to raise chickens."
"Of course, I'll also pay for the chicks. Besides that, if it's convenient, it would be even better to raise some ducks and geese."
"When the chickens, ducks, and geese grow up and can be slaughtered, we'll each have half. If we raise ten, I'll take five, and I'll pay for all the rice and bran."
"Dongsheng, I understand what you mean. Aren't you giving us a bargain?"
Uncle Qin is not a fool. On the contrary, he is very smart, otherwise he would not have become the deputy team leader of Qinjiagou Commune.
He listened to Jia Dongsheng's words and felt warm in his heart. Huairu's brother-in-law is really a particular person and does things in a very generous way.
Jia Dongsheng provided the food, and even paid for the chickens, ducklings and goslings. In the end, when the chickens, ducks and geese grew up, they didn't want all of it, just half. It was like they were just helping to raise the chickens, ducks and goslings.
It just means you have to take up some space and keep them there, but then again, who doesn’t have a nest for chickens, ducks, and geese in the countryside?
Taking up some space is no big deal.
"Dongsheng, you married Jingru, and Huairu is still your sister-in-law. We are all family."
Uncle Qin said dissatisfiedly, "We are one family, so we can't have different opinions. You asked us to help raise chickens, but in the end you gave us half. Who wouldn't want to take advantage of you like this?"
"But we are all real relatives. You take care of us, it's your good intention, but we can't be greedy."
"Well, we'll help you raise chickens, ducks, and geese. There are three of us brothers, and each of us will help you raise one. We'll also pay for the chicks, ducklings, and goslings..."
Hearing this, Jia Dongsheng quickly said, "No, help me raise the child. I have to pay for it."
"Dongsheng, you have good intentions, but we can't take advantage of you for no reason."
Uncle Qin sighed, "You are a good child. It is a blessing for Huairu and Jingru to join your Jia family. Don't say too much. The money for the chicks, ducklings and goslings will be contributed by the three of us. When they are grown and ready to eat, each of us will keep 30%. This is very caring for us."
It can be heard that Uncle Qin's words are sincere and heartfelt. What else can Jia Dongsheng say?
Since the other party was willing and didn't want to take too much advantage, Jia Dongsheng nodded and said nothing more.
But Jia Dongsheng felt that he had to take care of such an honest family. Now, Uncle Qin was also his adoptive father-in-law, and Uncle Qin was the only one who did not have such a special relationship.
However, seeing Uncle Qin nodding his head in agreement with Uncle Qin's words, Jia Dongsheng thought to himself, "It seems that Uncle Qin's family really does have an unmarried daughter. What's her name? Minru, right?"
"Qin Minru, that sounds nice, but it's a bit bad for the whole family, isn't it?"
After making the agreement, Jia Dongsheng, Uncle Qin and Uncle Qin Er sent the prey to the steel rolling mill together.
The atmosphere in the steel mill today is very lively. All the workers have received the news that wolf meat will be prepared in the six canteens for lunch today.
This made them so excited that they couldn't help but increase their strength while working, causing the workshop director to roar repeatedly.
There was no way around it. The force used was greater than usual, so the parts that were originally made perfectly became crooked, broken, and unusable. This was equivalent to stimulating the workers' actions, and the stimulation was so great that the task became more difficult to complete.
Fortunately, after a few words from the workshop director, the workers felt relieved and started to work hard.
On the other side, Jia Dongsheng accompanied Uncle Qin and Uncle Qin Er to exchange the prey for food. At the same time, after Jia Dongsheng received a sum of money, he pulled the food out of the steel mill and walked towards the warehouse he had prepared long ago.
There is less food today, and Uncle Qin and Uncle Qin also came here in an ox cart, which is just enough to carry it, so there is no need to send it.
Therefore, Jia Dongsheng also asked them to take back the rice bran that he had prepared earlier so that they could start helping him raise poultry directly.
Everything was in line with Jia Dongsheng's plan.
