The four went up the mountain, while Lu Guoan went to the commune with a torch.
They agreed to hide the prey somewhere at the foot of the mountain, and then Lu Guoan would bring his men to retrieve it.
They weren't worried that Lu Qianjin wouldn't be able to find someone to take over these two big guys.
There's a shortage of supplies right now, especially meat. As long as there's some, there's no reason why it shouldn't be sold.
Lu Yuan led the three up the mountain, with him at the forefront.
Worried that other animals might be drawn to the trap by the smell of blood, I turned off the flashlight when I was almost at the spot.
After lying down and observing for a while, and not finding any other animals, he quickly led the four of them to the edge of the trap.
Two people with relatively less strength carried the wild boar, while Lu Yuan and Dongzi carried the bear.
The descent was not easy; all four of them were panting and drenched in sweat, but none of them complained of being tired or wanted to stop.
After finally arriving at the agreed-upon foot of the mountain, Lu Guoan and his men were already waiting there.
They also brought an oxcart.
"Ah Yuan!"
Lu Qianjin excitedly ran forward to lend a hand.
Lu Guoan and another burly middle-aged man quickly stepped forward to help.
Working together, they loaded the wild boar and bear onto the oxcart, and the four men collapsed onto the ground as they went up the mountain.
Lu Qianjin pointed to the burly middle-aged man and introduced him.
"A-Yuan, this is my father-in-law. You call him Uncle Li."
Lu Yuan, panting heavily, said, "Hello, Uncle Li."
Li Dezhu said gruffly, "Hello, hello, young man, you're impressive."
He even gave a thumbs up as he spoke.
Lu Yuan repeated the same words he had used with Lu Guoan.
"I was lucky."
The wild animals needed to be dealt with under the cover of night, so Lu Qianjin and his men couldn't afford to delay any longer.
He then discussed with Lu Yuan, "We'll take both of these big guys, 800 in total, plus 20 jin of meat coupons, 10 jin of grain coupons, and 5 feet of cloth coupons, but we also need to include those four bear paws. What do you think?"
There were more tickets than he expected, and he was surprised to find there were even more available. Knowing this was a fair price, Lu Yuan readily agreed.
Lu Qianjin added, "I'll give you 600 and the receipts first. The remaining 200 will be given to you after these are processed."
"no problem."
Lu Qianjin quickly took out the money, which was in a small cloth bag.
"They're all here."
Lu Yuan didn't count, he just put the small cloth bag away.
"Alright, I'll go back and get you the bear paws now."
"Okay, just give it to my dad."
Lu Qianjin and his father-in-law hurriedly drove the oxcart away.
Before leaving, he made sure to tell them that they could give any prey they had in the future.
Lu Yuan and his group also headed home.
He counted 50 yuan for each person.
All four refused.
"Take it all. It's what's rightfully yours. Don't think it's too little."
How could you complain about not having enough?
Just helping out with a trip and putting in some effort, and you get 50 yuan, which is more than enough.
They could only earn 50 yuan a year by working in the fields to earn work points.
Lu Guoan was genuinely embarrassed to accept the offer, saying, "I didn't go up the mountain to help."
"Uncle, you've been a great help. You're the one who helped find markets for the wild animals."
He became even more embarrassed when this was brought up.
These two big guys really helped the eldest son a lot.
The in-laws said that a bear was enough to get their eldest daughter-in-law a job at a supply and marketing cooperative.
Selling wild boars is also a favor; it helps them build connections with many people.
In the end, they are the ones who benefit.
“A-Yuan, you can just give me Jiefang and Yuanchao, I don’t need to.”
“One thing at a time. You also contributed, so you should be paid as well.”
Seeing his insistence, Lu Guoan didn't say anything more, but he made up his mind to help as much as he could in the future.
Lu Yuan climbed over the courtyard wall to get in.
Wen Moxue, who was inside the house, was startled by the noise.
He nervously pulled a pair of scissors from under his pillow, gripped them tightly in his hand, and quietly got off the kang (a heated brick bed) to stand against the door.
"who?"
"It's me."
Wen Moxue breathed a sigh of relief and quickly opened the door.
The sound of Lu Yuan jumping in the courtyard didn't disturb the people in the west room, but the sound of the door opening made Zhang Yuping open her eyes.
"Old Lu, Old Lu?"
"The head of the household?"
Lu Guoqing groggily turned over, "What are you doing up in the middle of the night instead of sleeping?"
Zhang Yuping nudged him, "Did you hear anything?"
"have."
Zhang Yuping exclaimed excitedly, "You heard it too?"
"Yeah, isn't it just your voice?"
Zhang Yuping rolled her eyes in the darkness.
Too lazy to waste any more words, I got up and quietly opened the door a crack.
Their room door was directly opposite Lu Yuan's. Looking up, they saw a figure sneaking out of the opposite room, seemingly carrying a snakeskin bag on his shoulder.
Judging from that figure, it's definitely that ingrate Lu Yuan.
What is he doing in the middle of the night? And what is that thing he's carrying on his shoulder?
Zhang Yuping was filled with doubt.
Could it be that he moved something out of the house?
Thinking of this, Zhang Yuping became unsettled.
She hurriedly turned around and went to the kang (a heated brick bed) to pull off her clothes, not forgetting to shove Lu Guoqing.
"Old Lu, get up quickly! Lu Yuan stole things from the house and took them out."
"What?"
“Ah Yuan stole something and took it out. Get up and chase after him.”
Lu Guoqing was finally woken up completely by her sudden outbursts.
Before he could even put on his pants, shirt, and shoes, Zhang Yuping dragged him out of the room.
Lu Yuangang handed the bear paw to Lu Guoan, who was waiting outside. After closing the courtyard gate, he turned and went back into the house. As soon as he entered the main room, he saw two strange figures.
"What are you doing? What kind of tricks are you playing?" Lu Yuan asked deliberately.
