Chapter 28 This bamboo rat is depressed
When I got home, it was already seven o'clock and it was dusk.
Xiulan and the others came back from farm work and helped carry the wood. There was already a large pile of wood from the acorn trees that was as thick as forearms.
The eldest brother, father and others also brought back a lot of cut down trees, because when the eldest brother got married a few years ago, his parents were preparing to build houses for their two sons.
So many of the big trees have been cut down for a year or two, and now they are dry, so they are not very heavy to move back.
"Xiu Lan." Lin Heng called out.
Xiulan turned her head and smiled when she saw Lin Heng coming back.
Before she could say anything, her sister-in-law Liu Juan spoke up: "Lin Heng, come over and help move the wood. Let's try to finish it today.
Everyone is working, but you are the only one sitting idle. You are not worse than us women, are you? "
Lin Heng wanted to help, but when he heard this, he took out the grouse and rabbits he had shot and said, "Sister-in-law, does hunting on two sides of the mountain count as being idle? If so, I'll roast a rabbit by myself tonight."
Seeing the rabbits and grouse, the eldest sister-in-law's eyes lit up and a smile appeared on her face: "So you went hunting, I didn't know, go back and drink some water, we will do the job."
She was puzzled. How come Lin Heng had really become a different person after he reformed himself this time? He never came up empty-handed when he went hunting, which made her question her life.
"You caught another rabbit?" Lin's mother widened her eyes, somewhat unable to believe it.
"I only shot a grouse, and the rabbit was caught by Xiongba." Lin Heng pointed at Xiongba and said with a smile.
“Awooooo ...
Xiongba held his head high, his chest pricked up, his ears erect, as if seeking credit.
"Is this dog really that powerful?" Lin's mother was a little unconvinced.
"Look at the rabbit yourself, there are teeth marks on its neck." Lin Heng spread his hands.
"Then give it more food at night so that it can grow well." Lin's mother's attitude towards Xiongba changed.
As long as they don't eat plain rice, she welcomes everyone.
"Shirley, come back and help me with the grouse and rabbits."
Lin Heng shouted again that he didn’t want his wife to be so tired. She walked such a long way yesterday and must be very tired today.
"Go ahead, there aren't many left, a few of us can move them all." Lin's mother said.
"Okay, I'll go back and help with the cooking."
Only after hearing her mother's words did Xiulan put down Mu Tou and Lin Heng and return home.
"Brother, did you gain anything today?"
In the yard, Caiyun was holding Xiaoxia and her sister-in-law's two little sons. When she saw Lin Heng coming back, she asked with a smile.
Compared to before, she has become much more cheerful, which may be the effect of books.
"Of course, since we didn't catch the squirrel, the grouse will be our bet for the morning." Lin Heng handed the grouse to Caiyun.
"Kill them and eat them all. You and I were just joking." Caiyun said.
Lin Heng handed the grouse to his wife Xiulan and asked her to deal with it. He took out a knife, sharpened it, and began to skin the rabbit.
There is a technique to skinning. Start from the neck and peel a few centimeters with a knife. Then you can pull it with your hands. Pull hard and the skin and flesh will separate automatically.
After tying up the torn skin with bamboo sticks, Lin Heng began to remove the internal organs.
“Awoooooo~”
Xiongba had been waiting by the side for a long time, looking at him eagerly.
"Don't worry, I will give it to you and cook it for you." Lin Heng touched its head, processed the rabbit intestines, took them into the house, cooked them and fed them to Xiongba.
Xiulan felt a little reluctant to see this scene, but she didn't say anything because she felt that her husband did nothing wrong.
How can you want a horse to run without giving it grass to eat? But when she processed the grouse, she kept the heart, liver, and gizzard, and put the rest into the pot to cook for Xiongba.
Lin Heng naturally noticed his wife's little move, and took her hand and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I will let you live a life full of delicacies from the mountains and the sea, and you won't worry about food anymore."
"Your hands are all greasy." Xiulan glanced at him but did not break free. She added, "It's good like this now. Don't think about making a lot of money."
"Don't worry, I won't leave you." Lin Heng knew what his wife was worried about.
"How about eating half of the rabbit tonight and smoking the remaining half and the grouse, and building a house to eat in two days?"
Xiulan looked at him and asked.
"Sure, you can fry the yellow rasher with rabbit meat and hot and sour onions. I want to eat it."
Lin Heng looked at his wife's face and said with a smile.
"Okay, eat more. You didn't eat much of the fish in the morning, and you put the food I picked for you in my bowl." Xiulan looked at him with some complaint.
Even though it tastes so good, my husband seems to have no interest in it. Eating more meat can help you grow taller and give you the strength to work.
"Okay, okay, I'll eat more." Lin Heng felt sweet in his heart. His wife really loved him.
"Lin Heng, come out quickly, look what I got!!"
At this time, my uncle's voice came from outside, and his words were full of excitement.
Lin Heng and Xiulan both walked out involuntarily.
In the yard, my uncle Li Baiquan was holding a large bamboo rat with gray fur and said happily, "How about a bamboo rat weighing more than a pound? Not bad, right?"
“You don’t know, I shot it on the head with a slingshot, but it didn’t die and ran around everywhere.
I took a bamboo pole and chased it, and finally I pierced it through with the pole."
When my uncle-in-law said this, his saliva was flying everywhere. You can easily imagine how excited he was.
It's not exciting to kill someone with one strike, but it's exciting to catch him after he runs away.
It's like you hooked a ten-pound fish and the rod burst, but you ended up pulling the fish up by the remaining half. How exciting that is, no words are needed.
"Awesome!" Lin Heng gave a thumbs up. From the fact that the bamboo rat was stabbed through twice, one could tell how excited his uncle was.
"Hehe, eat it. Peel it now and fry it tonight." My uncle-in-law laughed and said loudly.
"There are rabbits available tonight. Take this back and let my third sister Hong Cui and the others have a taste."
Lin's mother came over and refused, saying that her third brother-in-law loved to show off and often spent all the good things outside and didn't leave any for the family.
She would never let him do this in her house, otherwise her third sister would blame her as the elder sister.
"Yes, there is enough rabbit meat. You can take the bamboo rat home to my aunt and my brother to eat."
Lin Heng also persuaded.
"No, I caught it here, and I have to eat it here no matter what. If you don't kill me, I will do it myself."
My uncle-in-law shook his head and took a knife to deal with it himself, like a stubborn bull.
"Then give it to me and I'll take care of it." Lin's mother had no choice but to take it.
After processing, only one third was cut off and fried, and the remaining two thirds were left for Li Baiquan to take back when he left.
This is the only way you can deal with this kind of stubbornness.
The meal was ready quickly in the evening, and Lin's father and elder brother Lin Yue had almost finished plating the wood.
As soon as he entered the house and smelled the aroma of meat, he immediately smiled.
"Second brother, you said you have this skill, why didn't you show it before?" Lin Yue admired Lin Heng. His younger brother was really good at it.
"Blame me. If I had been cruel enough to break his legs earlier, maybe he would have been able to take care of his family peacefully."
Father Lin smiled and shook his head, looking very regretful.
Lin Heng: “…”
Asking for a recommendation vote.
