Huang Yuelan, who was wearing a light yellow shirt, saw her two younger brothers coming back, each carrying a bundle of firewood on their backs, and a knowing smile appeared on her face.
Not only do they no longer hang out with the scoundrels in the village, they also know how to help with housework, and have made real progress.
"Yueqiang, Yuehu, I made you a pair of new shoes. Come over and try them on to see if they fit you well."
When they heard that their sister had made new shoes for them, the two brothers Yueqiang threw the firewood into the woodshed and ran happily to Huang Yuelan.
"Sister, did you make new shoes for us? Where are they?" Huang Yueqiang and Huang Yuehu usually wore straw sandals. Most of the time, they didn't even have shoes to wear and ran around the village barefoot.
Looking at the new shoes made by their sister, which were beautiful and sturdy, the two of them were grinning so much that their mouths almost reached their ears.
Whether in the past or now, the sister has a special place in the hearts of the two brothers Yueqiang and Yuehu, just like a mother.
Especially after their father passed away, their sister became their sky. As long as their sister was there, they didn't feel afraid.
"You two should try them on first. If there's any discomfort, tell me and I'll make some modifications," said Huang Yuelan.
The two brothers put on their shoes as quickly as possible and then walked back and forth in the yard.
"The new shoes my sister made are so beautiful!"
"These shoes are so comfortable to wear. I don't have to run around the village barefoot anymore!"
The younger brothers were not picky about their rough craftsmanship. Although the stitches were relatively thick, they gave very high praise. Their smiles said it all.
Although her skills are not very good now, Huang Yuelan believes that practice makes perfect and she will definitely get better and better in the future.
The production team’s primary school was finally built. Previously there was only one first grade, but now it has been expanded to fifth grade. Each grade has two classrooms, as well as an office, the principal’s office, a communication room, etc.
After the primary school was built, it became much more convenient for the children in the production team to go to school. They no longer had to go to the next village to go to school when they reached the second grade as before.
After the school was built, the team leader gave Wang Jianguo a few days off and did not assign him any other work.
"Brother-in-law, didn't you promise us that you would teach us how to shoot? When will you be free?" After Wang Jianguo came back, he was pestered by his two brothers-in-law.
Although they are his brothers-in-law, Wang Jianguo always treats them as his own brothers.
Because Wang Jianguo's parents died early and he has no brothers or sisters, he longs for family affection. Now Huang Yueqiang and Huang Yuehu are with him all day long, and they have already developed feelings for each other, almost like real brothers.
"You two want to learn? It just so happens that the primary school in our village has been built. The team leader hasn't assigned me any work these days. Tomorrow, I will take you two to the mountains to hunt birds." As soon as Wang Jianguo finished speaking, Huang Yueqiang and Huang Yuehu jumped up in the yard.
Wang Jianguo did not dare to take Huang Yueqiang into the primeval forest, because there were not only flying birds, but also hares, pheasants, and bears.
If you encounter a bear, it would be very dangerous.
At least one eye would be dug out, and some would just turn into a pile of bones.
In addition to black bears, of course, they might encounter other ferocious beasts such as pythons and tigers. It would be fine for him to go alone, but it was impossible for him to take the risk with his two brothers-in-law. If anything happened, his wife would definitely hate him for the rest of her life.
Huang Yueqiang and Huang Yuehu followed behind their brother-in-law, observing the surrounding environment constantly. "Brother-in-law, there is a group of birds over there."
After seeing this, Wang Jianguo took out his shotgun and said, "Brother-in-law will give you a demonstration first. Look here and here, and then aim at the bird. The three points should be in a straight line."
With a 'bang', a bird in the sky fell to the ground.
"Wow! My brother-in-law is so awesome!"
"Just now I thought my brother-in-law was going to hit the one on the tree, but I didn't expect him to hit a flying bird."
Huang Yueqiang ran over quickly, picked up the bird that had fallen to the ground, and put it directly into the basket.
"Yueqiang, you try it." After a demonstration, Wang Jianguo handed the gun to Huang Yueqiang.
Huang Yueqiang picked up the shotgun and shot at the bird perched on the branch according to the posture his brother-in-law had just taught him.
With a 'bang', the bird ran away.
"My brother-in-law's shooting is very accurate, but it's quite difficult for me when it comes to myself." Huang Yueqiang didn't hit the target, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart that his brother-in-law's shooting skills were superb.
Huang Yuehu immediately said to Wang Jianguo: "Brother-in-law, I want to try it too."
"This wave of birds has been frightened. You can't hit them. Let's move forward." Wang Jianguo knew that these birds were frightened. Although they landed on the branches again, their alertness was much higher than before. It was not impossible for novices like Huang Yueqiang to hit them, but the possibility was small.
After waiting for another place, Wang Jianguo taught Huang Yuehu again. Huang Yuehu, like Huang Yueqiang, also failed to hit the target.
"Don't lose heart, you two have to practice shooting more. You will be accurate after practicing more." Wang Jianguo taught seriously and did not forget to encourage his two brothers-in-law.
After several training sessions, Huang Yueqiang and Huang Yuehu each hit one.
“I hit it!”
Huang Yueqiang said in disbelief, with a look of pride on his face.
After finding the feeling, the Huang Yueqiang brothers' shooting skills got better and better.
They all knew that all this was thanks to their brother-in-law, who treated them so well.
Although children are young, they are very sensitive and can feel who is truly good to them.
Although the uncle and aunt appeared to be very polite, they were actually afraid that their son would steal his things, so they were not really being kind to them.
But my brother-in-law is different. Although he doesn't say so many polite words, he usually gives them candies and melon seeds, or buys them pencils, erasers and notebooks. He also gets up early to make delicious food for them, and now he is teaching them how to shoot seriously.
So, my brother-in-law is really good to them, and both of them like him very much.
When the fight was almost over, Wang Jianguo took his two brothers-in-law to pick up some firewood, covered the basket with it, covered it up, and then went home.
***
On this day, Wang Jianguo went to work in the production team. After discussing with each other, the two brothers Huang Yueqiang and Huang Yuehu secretly took out Wang Jianguo's hunting rifle. The two decided to go to the mountains to learn how to shoot birds. They also wanted to become sharpshooters like their brother-in-law.
"Yue Qiang, what are you two doing?" Huang Yuelan saw her two younger brothers carrying baskets and walking out stealthily.
Huang Yueqiang and the other two knew that their sister would definitely not agree if they asked them to go up the mountain to practice bird hunting.
After all, a gun is not an ordinary thing. If it hits someone, it is no joke.
"Sister, the two of us are thinking of going up the mountain to pick up some firewood." Huang Yueqiang said.
Huang Yuehu also echoed: "Yes, the two of us are thinking of going up the mountain to collect some firewood."
"Just pick up firewood, it's not something shameful. Why are you so sneaky? A real man should be upright and open, don't act like a woman." Huang Yuelan said.
Huang Yueqiang and Huang Yuehu nodded quickly, "Got it, sister!"
"Okay, go ahead."
Huang Yueqiang and Huang Yuehu, carrying baskets and hunting rifles, came to the place where their brother-in-law had taken them to hunt birds that day. Seeing that there were as many birds as usual, they immediately became interested.
This time they both learned their lesson. Not only did they master some of the techniques taught by their brother-in-law, they also knew how to hide so that the birds in the trees wouldn't see them.
The two of them had just hidden in the bushes when they suddenly saw something moving not far away.
"What's that moving?"
"It's not a hare, is it?"
"No matter what it is, just shoot it first."
If the two of them were to shoot at something else, they might miss the target with one shot, but this time they hit the target with every shot. With a "oh" sound, a person jumped up.
This person was none other than their sister’s ex-husband Sun Gousheng!
They shot the gun so skillfully that they hit Sun Gousheng's butt.
Fortunately, it was a shotgun and the power was not that great, otherwise, my butt would have been shot through.
"Hey, who is it? Which little bastard plotted against me? Come out quickly!" Sun Gousheng covered his butt and shouted around.
Huang Yueqiang and Huang Yuehu lay in the grass without moving. They both tacitly agreed not to make a sound because they knew that if they made a sound at this moment they would be seeking death.
Although Sun Gousheng was injured, he was an adult after all, and he was big and strong, much stronger than the two of them, so if they were caught by him, the two brothers would definitely be in trouble.
Sun Gousheng knew that his butt would not be injured for no reason. Someone must have been plotting against him and deliberately shot him. Seeing that no one came out, he looked in another direction.
Seeing that Sun Gousheng had walked away, Huang Yueqiang and Huang Yuehu quickly crawled out from the bushes and ran hurriedly down the mountain.
Not long after running, Sun Gousheng heard a noise. He turned around and saw Huang Yueqiang and Huang Yuehu.
"Okay, I was just wondering who harmed me, it turns out it was you two brats! I'm going to teach you a lesson today!" After saying that, Sun Gousheng chased after Huang Yueqiang and his brother with the hoe in his hand.
Fortunately, the bullet hit my butt. If it had hit my head, I might have died today. These two brats were planning to murder me!
Huang Yuelan had married Wang Jianguo before and refused to reconcile with him. He was also severely beaten by Wang Jianguo. The resentment in his heart had never disappeared. Now that he encountered this kind of thing, he had to settle the new hatred with the old hatred. He couldn't just let it go like this.
Seeing Sun Gousheng chasing them, the Huang Yueqiang brothers had no time to care about shooting birds and just tried to run for their lives.
After all, the two families had been at odds with each other because of the sister's affairs, and now they have beaten Sun Gousheng again. Sun Gousheng would be merciful if he didn't skin them alive after catching them both!
