Chapter 164 There Is a Long Way to Go
"You are sending me up the mountain like this. Don't faint on the way. Brother Chengwu is here to find some firewood."
Jiang Xiaoxiao felt that kind-hearted people should not suffer, and he could not control what others could not see.
If you don't express anything when you see something, then you are heartless.
Although she couldn't come up with many things, it would be nice to at least be able to help a little bit.
Li Chengwu was stunned for a moment, and it would be dark if he went down. If he encountered a wolf then, he and his brother would not be able to get over it.
"Forget it, come with me."
Jiang Xiaoxiao rolled his eyes! Originally, I wanted to send Li Chengwu away, but Li Chengwen was easily fooled at first sight and tried to find a way to get some food on his own.
Now she had an idea.
Li Chengwu was at a loss and followed Jiang Xiaoxiao to the snow nest on the roadside.
I saw that Jiang Xiaoxiao didn't know how to dig it out, but he just pulled out a bag of stuff.
The pocket is not big and can hold twenty kilograms, but what is this?
Still hiding in the snow?
There are a lot of things in Jiang's small space. This is a bag of rabbit meat, which she left over from roasting rabbits on weekdays, and put them little by little in the space. Who knows when this rabbit meat will be useful.
She was well prepared.
As a result, the two brothers are now cheaper.
"Take it back. This is the rabbit meat we raised ourselves. Don't tell others. Take it back quietly. It's a little bit of my kindness. We don't have many, but it's better than you."
Jiang Xiaoxiao threw it over.
Li Chengwu took it, opened the pocket and took a look, and his heart felt hot.
There were five pieces of rabbit meat inside, which was frozen hard and was cooked.
These days, when we can’t even eat food, how can we still have meat?
I couldn't help but swallow my saliva.
I really had to swallow my saliva, and my stomach growled.
"Why are you here? Are you afraid of being touched?"
Li Chengwu himself didn't grasp the point. Is this the point?
The point is, this is meat!
Jiang Xiaoxiao smiled. Who can blame him?
It's not because you two brothers forced me to do this.
"Originally, I hid it here to take it back. If I brought it to the captain, don't think the educated youths in the production team would be blown away, and the people who saw it wouldn't say anything. I don't want anyone to say anything. Your father accepted bribes, and besides, this wasn't a bribe from me.
I originally brought it here for you to try, but who knew it would be difficult to take in because of the constant traffic. So I hid on the side of the road. I originally planned to take it back later, but no, you two brothers just happened to take me up the mountain.
Otherwise I might have to carry it back. Thank you for sending me back. If Fang Peizhong and the others had sent it to me, I wouldn't have been able to take this thing out. "
It was so emotional and so true that even she herself believed it.
But the two brothers Li Chengwen and Li Chengwu believed it. The two brothers felt warm in their hearts. They didn't know about his father's straightforward temperament. Anyone who dared to give something to his father would definitely be scolded.
If his father is pushed into a panic, even hitting someone is considered a minor offense.
I'm afraid Jiang Xiaoxiao just thought about it for a long time and was afraid of being scolded by his father, so he didn't dare to bring it in.
Now I saw that it was only the two brothers who took it out.
But how dare they take it? This is meat, which is more valuable than food.
"You'd better take it up the mountain, you don't have much food. If my father knew, he would definitely break both of our legs."
Li Chengwu thought about it, how dare he take it back with his father's stubborn temper? If he took it back like this, his father would really dare to break his legs.
"Okay, just take it back and tell the captain that at this time, life is better than anything else. Besides, I don't ask him to do anything. At most, I ask him to make a phone call, and I won't let him show favoritism or anything like that. .
What's there to be afraid of if he collects some meat? If he really feels embarrassed, he can harvest food next year.
Send me 20 kilograms of rice and we'll settle the matter. Now consider it as something you owe me. "
Jiang Xiaoxiao knew Li Dahu's temper. Back then, the youngest son of Li Dahu's family ended up starving to death.
Looking at such a living life, if it really starves to death because of this little food.
If you have so many things in your space and watch them starve to death, do you still count yourself as a human being?
It's just a little bit that can help. It's not her Holy Mother, but she can't just watch these people die.
Li Chengwu was still hesitating, and Li Chengwen looked at the bag eagerly.
"Okay, okay, you're a man, go ahead and take me up the mountain quickly. Otherwise it will get dark soon and it will be troublesome for you to go down the mountain."
Jiang Xiaoxiao interrupted his thoughts, saving the child from still hesitating.
Li Chengwu had no choice but to carry the bag. No matter what, he had to send Jiang Xiaoxiao up the mountain first.
Probably because I was carrying food on my back, and I knew there were dozens of kilograms of meat on it.
Although the portion is not light, it does not feel boring at all.
Jiang Xiaoxiao even stuffed them with a handful of dried peaches on the way.
The two of them quietly stuffed a little bit into their mouths, not daring to eat too much. They wanted to take such a precious thing back home to their parents and brothers to taste.
But I don’t know if it’s because of the psychological effect, or if I really ate dried peaches, I felt energetic.
He even walked with great vigour.
But he still didn't walk fast, waiting to send Jiang Xiaoxiao to the mountain.
Li Chengwen and Li Chengwu really saw the rabbits and chickens raised in their educated youth houses.
I am so envious that they raise at least fifty or sixty rabbits, and they also raise thirty or forty pheasants.
When Jiang Xiaoxiao left, he stuffed them with a basket of eggs. They took a look at the basket and there were at least 20 eggs in it.
Originally, there was no need to talk about life or death, but the educated youths enthusiastically sent them down the mountain. If they didn't leave, their innocence would be completely dark.
The two of them were really afraid of meeting wolves on the road, so they had to carry bags and baskets home.
When I got home, it was already dark, and I couldn't see anyone on the road.
As soon as he entered the house, Li Dahu happened to come out to take a look.
It was getting dark and the two boys didn't come back. Li Dahu felt anxious and worried.
After all, wolves often appear in the mountains around them, and that's no joke.
As a result, I saw two boys entering the door with something in their hands.
"What is this? Why do you still take things from others? What kind of etiquette is this? Your father has been teaching you for a long time, but he has taught you to be so short-sighted."
Li Dahu was so angry that he picked up the pole with one hand.
Li Chengwu and Li Chengwen were startled and hurriedly explained.
"Dad, don't be like this. Let's go in and talk carefully so that the neighbors can hear what you are saying."
Li Dahu thought that he was causing trouble in this yard, and it was not his own family that was embarrassed.
After entering the room, Li Dahu slapped the table.
"Say, if you two little beasts don't tell me clearly today, I'll tell you, I'll break your legs. You actually dare to accept other people's things now. You don't know what this is. Every household will not be able to eat for years. You took other people’s food and what did you let the educated youth eat?”
He is angry.
"Dad, this is not food, this is rabbit meat and pheasant eggs. We went up to see their educated youth spot. They are very good. They caught rabbits and pheasants in the mountains. They raised at least fifty or sixty of them this winter. The pheasants were all There are thirty or forty of them.
The educated youths asked us to bring this thing back. If you really feel bad about it, when the next spring comes and the grain is harvested, you can send them 20 kilograms of rice in exchange for something.
Especially Jiang Zhiqing said that at this time, people's survival is more important than anything else. If you don't accept it, are you really going to watch your family starve to death? There's not much they can do to help, they can only help a little bit. "
Li Dahu thought to himself, this makes sense.
They have raised so many rabbits and pheasants, and they look better than them.
I know that these educated youths are trying their best to help me, but it would be pointless if I were really stubborn. If you push other people's good intentions out of the door, you are being honest, but are you really starving your family?
He slowly glanced at his wife and children who were so hungry and skinny in the room, as well as his old mother who was lying on the bed too hungry to move.
Li Dahu sighed.
"Stay!"
He appreciated Jiang Zhiqing's favor and would return it to him in the future.
The days are long!
