Wang Jianguo had prepared a trap for catching prey in advance, which was a simple animal trap, and also took hunting tools and a carrying pole.
He has rich hunting experience, so he is naturally good at making traps. As long as a hunter steps on the trap he makes, the hunter is guaranteed to not escape.
Because he spends more time in the mountains than in the foothills, no one knows the situation in the deep forest better than him.
For example, he knows exactly where pheasants are likely to appear and where rabbits frequently appear.
As Wang Jianguo walked, he placed traps in places where prey frequently appeared.
Because he was worried about Huang Yuelan who was in confinement at home, Wang Jianguo did not dare to stay any longer. He shot a little pheasant on the way and hurried back.
Seeing Wang Jianguo coming back with a pheasant in his hand, Huang Yuelan asked, "Did you go hunting again?"
"I shot a pheasant and will stew it for you later to nourish your body." Wang Jianguo said happily.
Huang Yuelan: "It's better not to go into the deep mountains and old forests. If you encounter any wild beasts, no one will be able to help you."
Others didn't dare to go, but he didn't take it seriously at all, just like going back home.
"Don't worry, I've lived here since I was a child, nothing will happen. I'll go stew the chicken now." Wang Jianguo felt warm in his heart. He knew that Huang Yuelan was worried about him. She was afraid that he would be injured and no one would find out, and then he would have to wait to die.
Coming to the kitchen, he boiled water and plucked chicken feathers. All his movements were skillful and beautiful.
"Dad, you work so fast!" Wang Aiguo watched his father preening the pheasant and couldn't help but sigh from the bottom of his heart.
Wang Jianguo: "Everything must be done efficiently, quickly and well, just like in war, speed is of the essence and no procrastination is allowed."
"I understand, Father. Just like when Mother asked me to practice writing, I can't always procrastinate. I have to finish it quickly to avoid wasting my life." Wang Aiguo replied.
Wang Jianguo nodded: "Not bad, you understood it very quickly."
Hearing his father's praise, Wang Aiguo felt very happy, and then said: "Eat quickly, don't eat slowly, finish eating early and wash the dishes early."
Wang Jianguo smiled and said, "You should chew your food slowly and thoroughly, and not just eat it fast, or you might choke."
"But didn't you just say, Dad, that we must be efficient? I eat quickly because that means I am efficient!" Wang Aiguo asked curiously.
Wang Jianguo: "Many principles are based on different situations. We cannot apply them mechanically. We need to deal with each situation in a specific way and be flexible."
"It's such a complicated feeling." said Wang Aiguo.
"You will understand it naturally when you grow up." Wang Jianguo is very patient with children and always teaches them slowly.
Wang Aiguo: "I understand, Dad. Anyway, you can't be stubborn. You have to know how to judge the situation. Dad, can you give me this beautiful chicken feather?"
Seeing that the pheasant feathers that Wang Aiguo had shed were very beautiful, some red and some yellow, much prettier than the chicken feathers at home, he thought of making them into chicken feather shuttlecocks.
"I've specially reserved these for you. Take them and play with them if you like them." Wang Jianguo knew that children liked to play with chicken feathers, so he picked out the good-looking ones to prevent them from being dirty by chicken intestines and chicken shit.
Wang Aiguo was very happy to see the long and beautiful chicken feathers left by his father. He took them and prepared to make them into a chicken feather shuttlecock and give it to his little friend Xiaofang.
The shuttlecock is very beautiful and exciting to kick. Everyone will definitely like it.
Looking at the soft and cute little babies a few years ago, just like Xiaoliu, Xiaoqi and Xiaoba now, they have grown up a lot in the blink of an eye. Wang Jianguo couldn't help but sigh that time flies so fast. In the blink of an eye, seven years have passed, and he and Yuelan's children have all grown up.
The pheasant meat is stewed, and the thick chicken soup exudes an enticing aroma.
The characteristics of children are very obvious. Besides loving to play, they are also greedy and like to eat delicious food.
When they smelled the aroma of the chicken prepared by their father, they all ran to the kitchen.
The fourth and fifth children could already walk. They stood there, holding out their hands, and kept shouting, "I want it! I want it! Eat it! Eat it!"
Although the whole pheasant was stewed, pheasants are much smaller than domestic chickens. There were many children and adults, about ten people in total, so one chicken was not enough to share. Almost everyone ate one piece.
In order to make the quantity look larger, Wang Jianguo chopped the chicken into small pieces, and then put two small pieces in each person's bowl. The rest was all chicken soup and potatoes. It was a full bowl, and it looked like a lot of food.
After waiting to feed the children, Wang Jianguo served Huang Yuelan another bowl, which was basically all pheasant meat, plus two potatoes.
If you only eat meat, you will get bored quickly. It will be more flavorful and delicious if you eat it with vegetarian dishes.
"Wife, it's time to eat." Wang Jianguo served the food and brought it to Huang Yuelan's bed.
Huang Yuelan looked at the bowl full of pheasant meat and said, "There's only one little pheasant, why did you serve it all to me? Give more to the children."
"It's okay, just eat it. It's made especially for you. Besides, you have to feed three little ones. I'm going to the mountain again tomorrow, and I'm sure there will be more than today." Wang Jianguo said.
The pheasant meat was very chewy and left a lingering fragrance. Huang Yuelan ate two steamed buns in succession.
The next day, Wang Jianguo got up at dawn, changed the children's diapers, prepared the milk powder, fed the children, and then left with the same equipment as yesterday.
Walking on the starlight, when we reached the mountain, the sky was just beginning to brighten.
After Wang Jianguo arrived, he began to check the traps he had set yesterday. Although he had set quite a few traps, he could not guarantee that there would be goods in every trap. It all depended on his luck. If he was lucky, he would catch half of them. If he was unlucky, he might not catch any.
Wang Jianguo checked them one by one, picked up those that had stock, and left those that didn't have stock on the mountain, waiting to be picked up next time.
When we returned to the village with the caught game, the sun had just risen and some villagers who had gotten up early had already started working.
"Jianguo got up early, where is he going?" asked an old lady.
It is impossible that Wang Jianguo said he was going to the mountains to hunt. Only a fool would say that.
"I went to the mountains and picked up some firewood." Wang Jianguo was carrying two large bundles of firewood on a shoulder pole. An ordinary person might not be able to pick up one of these bundles in a whole day, but Wang Jianguo went to the deep mountains where there was plenty of firewood.
He knew that his wife was alone at home, taking care of so many children and cooking, which was very hard. She would never have the time to go up the mountain to chop firewood.
Taking advantage of the time he is at home and there is nothing to do at home, Wang Jianguo will go to the mountains to collect firewood whenever he has time.
"You're really nice and very hardworking!" the old lady praised with a smile.
