Qibao saw the other children eating with their mouths full of oil and satisfied looks on their faces, which made Qibao feel a little sad. He guessed that this might be the first time for them to eat so much meat at one time since they were grown up. There was nothing they could do about it. Ordinary poor farmers would not buy meat frequently. They might buy two kilograms in half a year, and each person could not get many slices.
The barbecue feast lasted all night, and a few of the Hanzis drank too much wine and lay there for a long time without moving. Old Master Xu said, "Send them home to sleep quickly, otherwise they will catch a cold lying on the ground!"
A few men who were still sober worked together to help the drunk man back home, and their wives followed behind to take care of their drunk husbands.
The meat was almost finished, and there were wine jars everywhere. The old man said, "It's getting late. Go home and rest early. Remember to put out the fire. Also, come back to work tomorrow afternoon and you will be paid as usual!"
The villagers were very happy and cleaned up the ground. The little friends said goodbye reluctantly. They had become familiar with Qibao and agreed to play with Qibao next time. Then they followed their parents back home.
Wang took Qibao's hand and said, "Qibao, did you have fun today?"
Qibao replied sweetly, "Happy!"
Wang smiled and said, "Qibao should play with the children in the village more often. You are still so young, and this is what children should do. Grandma and your aunt can handle the housework, so you don't have to worry about it as a child."
Listening to her grandmother's caring words, Qibao felt warm in her heart. She understood what her grandmother meant, but she was not a real child after all.
The family returned home, packed up their things, washed up and went to bed.
………
The next day, the Xu family got up later than usual. Uncle Xu and his two brothers had to drink because the villagers kept toasting them last night. Maybe they drank too much and they still haven't gotten up.
Today, my brothers and sisters all went to school in Xu Dafu’s ox cart.
When Qibao woke up, Xiaoliu had just gotten up and was holding Xiaoba with sleepy eyes. Xiaoba stuck out his tongue to wash Liuge's face, and Liuge giggled as he was licked.
Qibao felt relieved when he saw this. Xiaoba was usually a smart dog. He didn't eat shit, but only ate rice and drank spiritual spring water. Otherwise... Qibao shuddered at the thought...
After Qibao finished washing up, Wang and the others brought breakfast into the dining room. The three brothers also got up, rubbed their heads, and were about to sit down to eat in a daze. Wang shouted, "What! You're eating right after getting up? You're worse than Qibao. Qibao knows how to clean himself up, but you're worse than a child!"
When the three brothers heard their mother's scolding, they suddenly woke up and ran to wash up in shame.
When they came back, Wang and the others had already served them cold breakfast. Since they had barbecue last night, the four of them, the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law, cooked a pot of white rice porridge today to help them eat less greasiness, and added a few side dishes, which was quite refreshing.
After a busy meal, the three brothers finished their meal, left the canteen, dropped their bowls and chopsticks, and the workers did not have to go to work this morning, so the three brothers were arranged to watch over the work.
Qibao said to Grandpa, "Grandpa, we seem to have forgotten something!"
Old Master Xu asked in confusion, "What's the matter?" The other people in the family were also confused.
Qibao said, "We haven't told everyone about the White Wolf yet!"
The family finally realized what was happening, and the old man said, "We were so busy we forgot about it. Let's talk about it when we have a chance!"
After dinner, Qibao released the white wolves from the window of his room and planned to let them hunt on their own. It is better for wolves to have some wildness. After the two white wolves came out of the space, they excitedly headed towards Daqing Mountain.
In the afternoon, the workers came to work one after another. Uncle Xu and his two brothers had nothing to do, so they came back and helped their father make bamboo baskets. The four of them, including the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law, were in the house sewing winter clothes for the children. The scene was full of joy.
Not long after the Xu family had finished their meal in the afternoon, the village suddenly became noisy, with occasional panicked shouts from villagers and the sound of rapid gongs.
The Xu family didn't know what was happening outside and were about to go out to see what was happening. Before they could go out, Xu Chunsheng ran in panting and breathing heavily.
The old man asked, "Chunsheng, what's going on? Why is the village so noisy?"
Xu Chunsheng gasped and said, "No... It's bad! There are wolves in the village, two white wolves, coming towards our village. My father asked me to tell you to quickly close the gate and don't let the wolves into the house. He also gathered the men in the village with weapons to drive away the wolves! I won't say anymore, I'm going to help! Close the door quickly!" After that, he ran out again!
Before the Xu family members could come to their senses, Wang slapped her thigh and said, "Oh no! Could it be the White Wolf and the others?"
Old Master Xu hurriedly said, "Quick! Go and take a look. If it's really Bai Shuang and Bai Xue, stop them immediately."
The mother-in-law, daughter-in-law and Xiaoliu were left at home, and Qibao also went with his grandfather and others.
A few people went out and heard the crying of children when they passed by the villagers' houses. The adults were usually afraid that their children would go into the mountains if they were naughty, so they often told them that there were wolves in the mountains that would eat children. It can be said that wolves are a shadow in the children's hearts. Now when they heard that the wolves had really entered the village, they were scared and hid in their mothers' arms. The women held their children in their arms, but they were worried about their husbands outside, who were lying on the window looking outside with a worried look on their faces.
As the Xu family members arrived, Xu Chunsheng said anxiously, "Uncle Dashan, why are you here? Didn't I tell you there were wolves and told you to keep the door closed? We're here. I don't believe that with so many strong men in the village, we can't handle two wolves."
The other men also advised: "Yes, Uncle Dashan, look, we have weapons in our hands! Even if we can't kill them, we can at least drive them away." Although they kept talking to the Xu family, they stared at the wolves without blinking, for fear of a sudden attack.
Qibao saw through the gap that it was indeed white frost and snow, and he suddenly felt a headache. He should have let them out earlier. Look how scared the villagers were.
The old man and the others also saw that it was a white wolf and quickly said, "Everyone has misunderstood! This white wolf is my family's pet!"
"Shock!" The villagers thought there was something wrong with their ears. One man stammered, "Uncle Dashan, look carefully! That's not a dog, it's a wolf. Isn't Xiaoba your only dog?"
The two white wolves saw from afar that so many people in the village were blocking their way. They stood there at a loss with confused faces, holding gifts for their master in their mouths. But their master told them not to hurt the villagers, so they didn't know what to do. Until they saw the Xu family coming, the two wolves ran to find their master.
When the villagers saw the wolf coming towards them, Xu Chunsheng blocked Old Man Xu behind him, picked up a shovel, and shouted, "Brothers, let's fight!"
Seeing this, the three Xu brothers hurriedly stopped him and said, "Don't be impulsive, my father is telling the truth, they are really raised by my family!"
