Chapter 352: Lots of Meat

Ten days had passed when Siyuan and Siyuan returned from the mountains with the men of Xingeng Village. Reading

As soon as the winter hunters came out of the mountains, the village beat drums.

The women in the village went out of their homes to welcome their men and prepare to help with the work.

"Brother, come out quickly! Grandpa and uncle and aunt are back! Let's go and see!"

Xiaobao ran out of the house when he heard the drums. When he saw people coming down the mountain in the distance, he immediately shouted into the house.

Dabao and Yaya also ran out in a hurry when they heard it.

"Put on clothes, it's cold outside! These kids!" Mother Su grabbed a few coats and followed out.

"Grandma, Grandpa is back, there must be a lot of meat!" Xiaobao was so excited that he couldn't wait to put on his clothes and wanted to go and see, with his little head sticking out.

"Yes, yes, there is a lot of flesh, but you have to put on your clothes, okay? Otherwise, you will be cold and your mother will spank you."

When Dabao heard this, he put on his clothes clumsily without waiting for Su's mother to help him.

When he first entered the mountain, he had to ask for help from others, he didn't know how to put on clothes, and he had to ask for help when eating. Now Dabao can basically do his own little things.

"Dabao, come, grandma will help you put on your clothes." Pull him over to help tidy up.

"Grandma, hurry up!" Xiaobao stamped his feet anxiously when he saw that all the children in the village were running to the mountain pass.

"Okay. Grandma, hurry up."

When Su Qing'an, Qingxing and others put on their outer clothes and came out, several children had already run to the mountain pass. Ye Yan

When Su Qing'an arrived at the stream at the mountain pass, there were already three layers of people surrounding it.

Turning around to look for Xiaobao and the others, there was no shadow of them.

Everyone knew she was looking for the children, and they smiled and made way for them. Sure enough, when Su Qingmei walked in, she saw three children gathered in front of a pile of prey.

Xingeng Village had organized a collective hunt last year, and Xiaobao had seen it, and now he was still squeezed in front and watching intently.

"Wow, this wild boar is so big. This sheep has such long horns! So many rabbits!" He kept wowed.

Looking at Dabao again, he was holding Yaya's hand and looked like he wanted to see but didn't dare to, with a face full of entanglement.

Seeing that his younger brother had come to the front and kicked the long fangs of the wild boar with his feet, Dabao squinted his eyes in fear.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, they are all dead." Yaya comforted him.

Dabao wanted to pretend that he was not afraid, but he tilted his head and didn't dare to open his eyes.

Su Qingmei stepped forward and held his hand.

"Mom." When he looked up and saw that it was Su Qingmei, he was relieved immediately.

"Is Dabao scared?"

"They're dead."

"Yes. They're not scary when they're dead."

With his mother holding his hand, Dabao suddenly gained a lot of courage and finally dared to open his eyes to look at the prey in front of him.

"Grandpa and uncle!" Looking at Xiaobao, he was already excited to find his grandpa and uncle.

Took their hands and looked at this and that. Wow, grandpa and uncle are so awesome. They have hunted so many prey. Xiaobao will become awesome in the future.

Xiaobao kept crying and calling this familiar person and that familiar person, looking like a little envious of seeing a hero return.

He didn't see Su Qing'an coming at all.

Su Qing'an shook her head and laughed, letting him go. It's a good thing for children to worship heroes.

After the men came back from hunting, they couldn't rest. They had to skin the prey, shave the hair, and split it into small pieces. The rest was the delicate work of women washing, cutting and pickling.

After washing and cutting, Su Qing'an saw that Qi Liang, Liu Xiu and others also went with them this time, so she divided the meat sent to the barracks in the market town and asked Qi Liang and Liu Xiu to take it back.

She also asked them to collect some other winter supplies in the village, and then let them leave first.

When the two left, they patted Si Yuan and others on the shoulders and said, "Next time there is such a thing, call the brothers again."

"Of course."

After the meat in the barracks was divided, many men from the other two hills of Xingeng Village also followed. Su Qing'an also divided the meat and asked Zheng Bo and others to take it back.

Zheng Bo and others were very happy.

The decision to join Xingeng Village was really the right one.

Before, the six families of them were hiding from place to place, living in this cave for a while, living in that hill for a while, and worrying about the next meal after eating the previous one.

Now, the six families of them are not only well fed and warmly dressed, but every family has also picked up mountain products and has extra money.

Usually, they have some free time and money to go to the market town to order two small dishes and drink wine. Life is really comfortable, which is a good life that they dare not think of before.

And the dozens of miners who followed Su Dahu into the mountains are also very lucky.

In the past, they only ate two gray steamed buns for one meal. Now they can eat meat and white rice every day, and they also get one or two taels of monthly salary.

Not only are they provided with food and accommodation, but they are also given new clothes, and they are not tired. They work one day and rest one day. And the more they work, the more they get.

Those who don’t go to mine, help in the mountains and collect mountain products. After a year, they have saved a lot of money.

Who would have thought that mining would be like this?

And now they all have money and strength, and many people come to them to propose marriage.

When did these miners at the bottom become the sons-in-law that the mountain people are fighting for?

They are very happy.

The villagers of Xingeng Village on the two hills carried the prey, said hello to Su Dahu and Su Qingmei happily, and left.

The rest were the people of Xingeng Village.

After washing and cutting, Su's mother, Lu, Guo and others took the women in the village to make bacon and smoked meat.

Su Qing'an looked for a while, and when she saw that there was no work for her to do, she prepared to go home.

Unexpectedly, Xiaobao's two little feet seemed to have grown roots in the stream, and he said he would not go home no matter what.

Looking at Dabao, he was not afraid at this time, and he was still helping Su's mother pass pine branches back and forth. He was choked by the smoke and his eyes were tearing, but he was unwilling to go home with her.

Then he looked at Yaya, Su Qing'an, and his two younger brothers.

He also said, "Second Aunt, I will accompany my younger brothers."

Well, she was the only one who had nothing to do, so she had to go back to check the accounts.

When she got home, she saw Su Qingliu sitting on a cushion, making clothes for the children around the brazier.

"Sister, don't work all day long, be careful of your eyes."

Su Qingliu glanced at her and smiled: "It's okay, I have nothing else to do all day long. You and mother don't let me do anything else, so I can only sew more small clothes for the child. He was still cold when he was born, and I'm afraid that there is no sun in the mountains and he can't dry them. I plan to make more clothes and diapers for storage."

"Then you have to take a break, your eyes are going to be damaged."

"Not tired. I'll work for a while and then take a break. Is your brother-in-law back?"

"He's back, and he and Dad are helping Mother and the others are chopping branches to smoke meat."

Su Qingliu shook her head and smiled: "He is also a person who can't sit still."

"Sister, haven't you noticed that my brother-in-law has smiled more often? In the past, Xiaobao stayed away from him because he didn't smile. Now he is willing to play with the children and even throws Xiaobao high up."

Su Qingliu paused and recalled the fragment of her acquaintance with Wei Fuchang: "Your brother-in-law seems to be really alive. He is like a different person."

Outside the house, Wei Fuchang paused when he heard this.
