In the end, Jiang Shushu received 18 kilograms of pork and Jiang He received 13 kilograms of mutton, and both father and daughter returned home.
On the way home, Jiang He told Jiang Mingwen that he was planning to send three pounds of pork and two pounds of mutton to his family.
"Dad, please send more mutton. It's rare. Let my third uncle and cousin have enough to eat." Two pounds is a little too little.
"Since you like mutton, leave some at home and send two pounds. You can give them some more pork."
"Give me three pounds of mutton. Uncle San also likes to eat this, so we have to let him eat enough."
"That's fine. Your Third Uncle will definitely be happy to know that you care about him so much."
…
When Xu Hehua saw so much meat at home for the first time, she was so surprised that her mouth opened wide, "Oh my God! This is the first time I see so much meat at home." She had never dared to imagine it before.
Jiang He also laughed happily, "It's the first time I've seen it this year. I don't know what's going on this year? There are so many animals on the hills of our village, and they all gather here. I heard Mingwen say that the other two brigades are not doing well this year, and many people returned empty-handed. Things change, in previous years it was our Hualing Brigade, but now it's finally the turn of their two brigades." He finally felt proud.
Jiang He wanted to wipe away tears when he thought about the scene of returning empty-handed two years ago.
"Third Brother's family is participating in this year's event. How was the harvest? Should we send some meat over? They always sent it to us in previous years."
"We're going to give them away. Mingwen caught several chickens himself, so we won't give them away. Cut out three pounds of mutton and pork each. I'll take them to Third Brother later."
"Okay, bring a few more radishes over. Third Brother's family just doesn't have any."
The brothers Jiang He and Jiang Shan have a good relationship, and Xu Hehua is very happy to support them.
At the Youth League Home, Li Chunyan and Shen Yajun felt particularly bad when they saw everyone with a good harvest. Li Chunyan was fine because she had a daily lunch box and was not short of meat, but Shen Yajun's face looked unhappy.
Shen Yijun felt that since he came to Hualing Brigade, nothing had gone well for him.
I had clearly inquired about it, and even experienced villagers would probably not catch anything, let alone educated youth who knew nothing, so I didn't go. But I didn't expect that even the female educated youth could catch several chickens. It was really infuriating.
Zhao Cheng, who was careless, wanted to share his joy when he saw Shen Yijun. "Shen Yijun, I asked you to go, but you didn't go. Look, these are all our trophies. Let me tell you, the pheasants on the mountain tonight were like idiots, standing there stupidly for people to catch them. Next year, you must not miss it. You must go. It would be a pity if you didn't go this time."
Shen Yijun regrets it now: "..." If I can beat you, I will beat you. Dare to ridicule me, Zhao Cheng, I will remember you.
Yang Xiaobei looked at Zhao Cheng, who was laughing happily, and sighed in his heart. Zhao Cheng was able to live this long, it was really a blessing from his ancestors! Showing yourself to those who are narrow-minded, you are not afraid that one day you will be lured by Shen Yijun.
Yang Xiaobei: "How are you going to deal with all this meat?"
Sun Yun happily talked about his plan: "Pick it with salt and eat it slowly. It won't go bad anyway because the weather is cool now."
He Aiguo: "I want to make them into cured chicken and cured meat, so that they can be preserved longer."
Seeing that He Aiguo's goal was the same as his, Yang Xiaobei immediately asked: "Can you make it? I also want to make them into cured chicken and bacon. It would be more convenient to make them together."
Zhao Cheng: "And me, and me, so I can send some back to my parents."
Sun Yun certainly wouldn't want to miss out on a better option. "I just didn't think of it. I also want to make it into cured meat so that I can eat it until next year's mountain entry day."
Zhang Meihua and Zhao Guifang also joined in and said they could make cured meats.
He Aiguo scratched his head stupidly, "I don't know how to make cured meat, so I can only trouble Zhang Zhiqing and Zhao Zhiqing."
Then the other four people discussed it, prepared the seasonings and firewood, and each gave Zhang Meihua and the other two two cents as hard work fee.
Li Chunyan was dumbfounded watching from the side: "..." No, it only took five minutes to discuss it? I still want to buy some fresh chicken and pork to eat?
"Yang Zhiqing, you have the most meat. Can I exchange some with you for money?"
Nowadays, it's hard to buy meat even if you have money. Yang Xiaobei didn't want to exchange it at all. After all, he was not short of money. "I like eating meat. Does anyone want to exchange meat for money? If so, you can give it to Li Zhiqing first."
Then no one said anything. Everyone felt that although this amount of meat looked like a lot, it was really not enough to eat. By the time it was all eaten, they would not be able to buy more even if they had money.
Li Chunyan felt embarrassed.
"Li Zhiqing, what do you want to change? But I can only change something for you."
"Forget it, you keep it and eat it. I'm sorry for not letting you eat meat." It's just a little bit of meat, and you're still making excuses. I don't want it. What's the big deal? It's not like I can't afford meat. It's just that a grown man is being stingy.
Yang Xiaobei suddenly saw the shadow of Yang's mother in Li Chunyan, the kind of tone that would soften the knife at any time, and his mood suddenly became bad. He had originally wanted to exchange a chicken for Li Chunyan, but now he had no idea at all. Not to mention a chicken, he didn't even want to give her a single chicken feather. "Okay, I'll listen to you. If you don't want to exchange, then don't."
Li Chunyan got even angrier: "..." What kind of person is this? I said no, so no! Can't you tell I'm being sarcastic?
Seeing that they didn't change it to Li Chunyan, Shen Yijun didn't speak up to make himself look boring.
In fact, Shen Yijun was just overthinking it. Although several people disliked him a little, if he asked to exchange meat, no matter who would pay, there would always be someone to give it to him. After all, they lived under the same roof and it was impossible for them to embarrass him in such matters.
But he didn't say anything, and it was unlikely that others would rush to ask questions. After all, they weren't his father or mother, so who would have the time or the mood to care about his feelings? If you need help, you should act like you need it, instead of waiting for others to rush to help you.
Jiang Shushu's excessive worry about the reborn disappeared without a trace after he got the information from Zhang Meihua. Jiang Shushu solved his biggest worry and slept particularly soundly that night.
Jiang Shushu went to work the next day in high spirits.
Jiang Shushu walked into the East State-owned Hotel in a good mood, only to meet Zheng Dayong, who was in an even better mood, with wrinkles on his face from smiling.
So excited so early in the morning? Did he find some money? Or did he have a baby in his old age? Oh, by the way, yesterday was the day of the manager's meeting. Did he get first place in sales?
"Good morning, Manager."
"Good morning, Xiao Jiang."
"Manager, why are you so happy? What good things happened in the store?"
