1959Siheyuan, a Turnaround

Chapter 18: Catching a wild boar, luck

"Weiguo! This is incredible! How come they caught a wild boar?"

Grandma Li was still worried, so she pulled her eldest grandson to touch him here and there.

It’s no wonder that Grandma Li is worried. The most powerful animal in the mountains is the wild boar. When it gets fierce, its fangs can pierce a person’s belly.

"Wow! Why are there potatoes here? Weiguo, you are so lucky!"

Grandpa Li originally went over to get clothes for Li Weiguo, but who would have thought that there were five or six big potatoes in the bag.

"Haha, I found the potatoes and pumpkins first, and I tied up the wild boar and pheasant when I saw them in the trap before I came back."

This is the only plausible reason, after all, it only took Li Weiguo half a day to climb the mountain.

"What are you still standing there for? Dahe, hurry up and carry the little wild boar. We're going down the mountain now. Are you still waiting for the wild boar to recover?"

Grandpa Li is very thoughtful. Who knows when the little wild boar will recover. It will be difficult to deal with it when the time comes.

"Okay, listen to the old man! Just in case, I'll tie it up twice and tie its mouth."

The second uncle quickly found two vines and tied up the little wild boar.

Li Weiguo was at a loss whether to laugh or cry when he saw the little wild boar tied up by his second uncle.

How can this be called a little wild boar? It’s just a big meat dumpling.

Just go home and steam it directly. Haha, I dare not imagine that scene!

Second uncle Li Dahe carried the little wild boar directly on his shoulders. Grandpa Li and grandma Li each held a pumpkin. Li Weiguo held a pheasant in one hand and potatoes in the other. The family walked down the mountain with a full harvest.

It happened that the villagers were all eating at home at that time, and they didn't meet any other villagers on the way, so they hurried back home.

As soon as they entered their own yard, Grandpa Li and Grandma Li quickly closed the door like thieves.

Especially Grandma Li, she patted her chest worriedly and said, "Fortunately no one saw it. If others saw that our family had these things, it would be disastrous!"

Grandpa Li was also jogging all the way. At this moment, he leaned against the door, panting, and said to Grandma Li, "Old woman, put the things in the house quickly!"

"No, please let me slow down. This pumpkin weighs at least 20 kilograms. I can't carry it anymore!"

My second uncle had carried the little wild boar to a corner of the yard and put it in a large basket.

Although the little wild boar had been tied up like a big dumpling, the second uncle still felt that it would be a bit of a safety precaution. If it woke up and ran away, wouldn't that be troublesome?

Hearing the sound of their eldest brother coming back, the two little guys of the Li family, Li Weidong and Li Weijun, rushed out like wild horses.

"Grandpa, let me hold the pumpkin!"

"Grandma, I'm coming too...I'm coming too!"

"Ouch...slow down...slow down..." The two old men laughed so hard that their teeth were showing.

"Wow, such a big pumpkin must be delicious!" Li Weidong widened his eyes and reached out to hold the pumpkin in his grandfather's hand.

Li Weijun was not to be outdone. He quickly ran to another pumpkin, intending to "share the glory" with Li Weidong.

But who knew that both pumpkins were heavy, much heavier than they had imagined.

"Oh, it's so heavy!" As soon as Li Weidong picked up the pumpkin, he felt his arms sink and his body leaned forward involuntarily.

He hastily adjusted his center of gravity, but the weight of the pumpkin still made him feel overwhelmed, and his whole body was staggering as if he was drunk.

The same thing happened to Li Weijun. He wanted to pick up the pumpkin in a casual manner, but the weight of the pumpkin made him stumble and he almost came into close contact with the ground.

He quickly steadied himself, but an expression of strain appeared on his face.

Seeing this scene, Li Weiguo couldn't help laughing.

He walked over, patted his two younger brothers on the shoulders, and said, "You two little guys, don't underestimate these pumpkins. Come, I will help you."

As he spoke, he easily picked up two pumpkins and showed them to his brothers.

"Wow! Brother, you are awesome!"

The two little guys looked at their big brother with envy, they also wanted to have such strength.

"Eat well in the future, and when you grow up you will be as strong as your big brother!"

"it is good!"

The two little ones nodded seriously and followed their eldest brother to the kitchen. Then they found an upside-down basket on his father's side.

"Brother, look, what's under the basket?"

The two little guys no longer cared about the pumpkin and ran straight to the corner.

But he was stopped by his second uncle: "Weidong, Weijun, don't go over there, go back to the house and eat first, I'll let you see enough later!"

The two little guys slammed on the brakes, stood still, immediately lowered their heads, and said one word very reluctantly: "Oh!"

In the main room, Second Aunt had already prepared the meal.

A pot of steaming wild vegetable porridge and a small plate of black pickles.

Well, the food has returned to the days before liberation.

Grandma Li noticed that Li Weiguo disliked the wild vegetable porridge, and smiled as she took out three pheasant eggs from the basin next to her.

"Here, one pheasant egg per person is fine!"

The two younger brothers quickly picked up the pheasant egg that belonged to them from the table.

"Wow! There are pheasant eggs to eat!"

They were very happy. Each of them took an egg and knocked it on the table, then peeled the eggshell carefully.

"Grandma, didn't we have a hare yesterday? And there are two fish too. Why don't you eat them? It would be a pity if they go bad in such hot weather!"

"None of your business, who eats meat every day? We have to exchange those for food. Eat this egg, and forget about anything else!"

"Milk~"

At this moment, Li Weiguo realized that in his grandmother's eyes, food was always more important than meat.

It turned out that he had worked hard to bring back some meat from the mountain, but in the end he still couldn't eat it. Li Weiguo suddenly became depressed.

Grandpa Li laughed at his droopy look and said, "Come on, old woman, you really can't bear to not let Weiguo eat some meat? There's a small wild boar weighing forty or fifty kilograms outside!"

"What? Little wild boar!"

After hearing this, Second Aunt Wang Dahua put down the bowl in her hand and rushed outside, and sure enough, she saw an animal in the basket in the corner.

“Oh my god!…”

Second Aunt rushed back at once, her eyes wide open, and asked in a low voice: "Is that really a little wild boar?"

Uncle Er, Grandpa Li, and Grandma Li all nodded at her while trying not to laugh.

"Oh my god! Our Weiguo is so lucky! This luck is too good!"

"That's nothing. There are two big pumpkins, five or six potatoes, and a pheasant! Mom, we should let Weiguo eat more meat!"

Second uncle was smiling so hard that he couldn't close his mouth.

The whole family looked at Grandma Li expectantly, waiting for her to nod in agreement!

Finally, Grandma Li couldn't stand the pressure and compromised: "I'll let you guys make up for it. Let's eat pork tonight, okay?"

"Ah! It's time to eat meat!"

The two children, Li Weidong and Li Weijun, jumped up and clapped their hands.

Li Weiguo also laughed out loud.

"This is what you deserved in your past life. You are all debt collectors!"

Look, the smile on Grandma Li's face looks like a bright flower...
