A group of pheasants, big and small, came running from a distance.
Some pheasants leaped into the air and flew low in the air, calling happily.
Some of them were running wildly on the ground, with a speed comparable to that of a 100-meter sprinter.
There were some clumsy ducks in the middle, and they also rushed forward desperately.
Looking up, I see the overwhelming sun; looking down, I see the rolling yellow earth.
Yu Weimin...
Wife, you are really capable!
Yu You...
Mom, you are the only one with appeal in our family!
Cao Xiu looked at the scene that looked like a cannon attack and had no time to catch chickens and ducks.
"Oh my god, what are you standing there for? Run! Get ready to be pecked!"
After saying that, he took the lead and ran quickly down the mountain along the mountain road.
Yu Weimin and Yu You followed closely behind.
Where to run? Of course, run to the wheat field where there are many people!
It was evening now, but it gets dark very late in June, so it was still light.
It's actually not that hot at this time, so working at this time is much better than working in the afternoon. People haven't gone home yet, they are still working hard in the fields to harvest wheat.
Everyone was sweating profusely.
After working for an entire afternoon, everyone was exhausted and persisted despite being hungry.
I heard a faint movement on the hillside in the distance, and looking over I saw a cloud of moving dust in the distance.
A large cloud of dust seemed to be coming towards the wheat field, getting closer and closer, and the noise was getting louder and louder.
Someone with good eyesight said, "Oh, those are the village chief and his wife up there, right? Yu Yuan, why are your parents up the mountain?"
Yu Yuan was also puzzled: "I don't know. They took my eldest sister to see a doctor at noon. Maybe they came back to the mountain?"
Aunt Liu looked sharp and asked, "Look! What's behind the village chief and the others?"
People squinted their eyes and looked intently.
"Oh my god, those flying things look like a flock of pheasants! Did they disturb the pheasant nest?"
"It's really pheasants! Why are there so many? Folks, why are you still harvesting wheat? Go catch pheasants first!"
"Hurry up, hurry up! How lucky are the village chief and his wife to bring back these pheasants? They are really the lucky stars of our village!"
"I've never seen so many pheasants in my life! They know we're exhausted from harvesting wheat, so they're rushing to bring us food."
The thought of stewed chicken makes my mouth water. Seeing the hope of eating meat, the villagers ran to the foot of the mountain with their weapons in hand.
This speed is not inferior to that of a long-distance runner! !
Cao Xiu naturally went wherever there were more people. After all, these pheasants and ducks were definitely targeting her!
At this time, strength is in numbers! The time has come when we need our fellow villagers.
Otherwise, she would have been buried by the pheasant!
When the villagers arrived excitedly, Yu Weimin and his family of three had been chased to a pulp.
Yu Weimin was sweating profusely, and his face was covered in dust and dirt, streaked with mud. He no longer looked as calm and composed as usual.
One of Yu You's shoes was missing, and his hair was a mess, with chicken feathers all over his head. He looked very funny.
Cao Xiu suffered the most. Not only was his body and head covered with chicken and duck feathers, but his clothes were also torn into rags.
The stand-up comic can be as embarrassed as he can be.
The villagers wanted to laugh but it was too late as they all joined the team in catching pheasants and ducks.
Of course, eating food is more attractive than watching a joke.
Everyone worked together, two or three people surrounded and intercepted a chicken, and after a flurry of activity, all the pheasants and ducks were caught.
Guo Min asked, "Uncle Wei Min, what do you think we should do with these pheasants and ducks?"
Although everyone helped catch him, it was Yu Weimin and his wife who led him down. Naturally, we need to ask Yu Weimin for his opinion on how to divide these things.
Yu Weimin looked at everyone's expectant eyes, thought for a moment and said, "The meat won't keep well in this hot weather. Let's go to the threshing ground, set up some big pots, and stew all these pheasants and ducks."
"Let's eat together as a village today!"
The villagers were all smiling happily. There were at least fifty or sixty of them. If they were stewed with some vegetables, it would be enough for them to eat until they were full.
Yu Weimin added: "Put the smaller ones back in the mountains. We can't eat them all at once."
"Okay, listen to the village chief."
They understand that all things must be allowed to grow and reproduce.
The men started to build a big pot, light a fire, and slaughter chickens and ducks, while the women went to the vegetable garden to pick vegetables, add water and cut them.
While everyone was not paying attention, Yu You secretly put a chicken and a duck into the space.
She remembered the purpose of today, and her sister was still waiting to replenish her body. She couldn't work in vain!
Pheasant meat is very firm, so if you want it to be delicious, you have to stew it for a long time. People waited for an hour or so while smelling the aroma until it was cooked.
It was already dark, but the threshing ground was brightly lit by the flames.
Everyone lined up, each of them filled a large bowl with meat and vegetables. It was really filled with only meat and vegetables.
The remaining ten pots of chicken soup were also a good thing. Everyone took the meat and vegetables home and then quickly returned to fill up the chicken soup. Everyone's face was filled with smiles.
Each person had a big bowl of meat and a big bowl of chicken soup. It had been years since I had eaten meat so heartily!
The children couldn't help but eat it in the threshing ground, and their mouths were full of oil.
The adults didn't stop them, but watched happily instead.
Cao Xiu bit the chicken in the bowl angrily.
The three of them were utterly embarrassed today. By the time people realize what's going on, they'll be talking about this for a whole year!
Just as I was thinking about it, someone asked.
"Village chief, how did you lure these pheasants down?" The hunters in the village could only set traps, they didn't have the ability to do this.
Yu Weimin...
Could he say it was a blessing reward? It seems that you still need to be careful when using this blessing reward! This time, he almost dug a hole and buried himself.
The answer was: "I don't know. We didn't do anything. It was just a coincidence."
Think about it, if these guys were good at catching pheasants, they wouldn't have been chased so badly.
"How could this be a coincidence? Village chief, you are truly the lucky stars of this village!"
"Who says it's not true? Ever since the village chief took office, what kind of life did we live before? What kind of life are we living now?"
Yu Weimin reminded him, "There's no such thing as a lucky star when it comes to combating feudal superstitions. We were just lucky for a while."
"We don't say it, and we're not allowed to think about it. We already know how much help we've received from the Yu family. Don't you agree?"
"Yes, Village Chief, we all remember it."
"Yes, Village Chief, I'm not good at speaking and can't express my gratitude. But I have it in my heart. If you point east, I will never go west."
…
When Yu Weimin and his family of three heard these words, they felt warm in their hearts.
To be honest, they work for the village simply because they can't bear to see others suffer, so they follow their own hearts and do good deeds to accumulate blessings.
There is no need for everyone to flatter them, as long as the villagers are not ungrateful.
But when these words come out of the mouths of these simple country people, everyone can hear the sincerity in them.
Giving flowers to others leaves a lingering fragrance on your hands. This is what it feels like.
That night, under the flickering firelight, the village was filled with a scent of happiness.
