Chapter 204: Wild Boar 2
Seeing that her elder sister looked like she was still asleep, Shen Qiu came up to her and said, "Sister, you and Brother Jiandong are the heroes in hunting wild boars. Everyone thanks you. Let us have a few words."
"Speak, say a few words? Wearing the big red flower means we are asked to speak a few words."
"correct."
Shen Shuyu: "..."
After talking for a few minutes, they were asked to wear big red flowers, making it so festive. She thought she and Gu Jiandong were going to get married, which scared her.
Shen Shuyu had just woken up, her mind was as muddled as paste, and she stood with Gu Jiandong at the highest point in the threshing ground, holding a loudspeaker, and began her speech.
In fact, Shen Shuyu herself didn't know what she said. When she heard the applause from the audience, she came down and handed the speaker to Gu Jiandong.
The horn often made noise, and Gu Jiandong disliked it. He held the horn and shouted "Hello" a few times, but then he felt it was not fun, so he came down.
Shen Erzhu had already arranged for people to distribute the wild boar meat. Three wild boars were placed on a wooden platform.
Three old men stood in front of a wooden table, sharpening their knives non-stop. The knives were sharpened until they were sparkling. Then they began to use the knives to drain blood and cut the meat.
Shen Shuyu and Gu Jiandong had made several holes in the wild boar's head and neck, and it bled a lot on the mountain. Now when they bled the wild boar, only half a bucket of blood would come out of each wild boar. Everyone felt it was a pity that the blood that flowed out was not collected.
Pig blood is delicious and can replenish blood.
These days people are really short of meat. Some families can’t even eat meat twice a year.
During the busy farming season, we would cut some meat to feed the labor force and children in the family. If we wanted to eat a satisfying meal all at once, that was out of the question.
Now Shen Shuyu and Gu Jiandong killed three wild boars at once. Every household in their team can get a lot of meat. Everyone in the team is happy and excited.
At this moment, the villagers looked at Shen Shuyu with such gentle eyes. Not to mention Gu Jiandong, he had always been very popular in Shenjiaba Brigade. If the aunts had any snacks in their pockets, Gu Jiandong would always be included.
Shen Shuyu couldn't stand everyone's loving eyes, so she found a corner in the threshing ground and took a nap. She really didn't get enough sleep.
The meat had not been cut yet, but everyone had already lined up in three teams. Gu Jiandong thought it was fun to cut the meat, so he stood in a line with the old man cutting the meat with his military bayonet, saying that he also wanted to help cut the meat.
The wild boars were all killed by this kid. He wanted to play with them, so the old man let him do it. He gave him a few instructions, told him to be careful with the knife so as not to cut his hands, and made room for him.
Gu Jiandong used his military bayonet to cut the meat very skillfully, and each part was cut into shape.
Gu Jiandong felt that the old man was a bit of a hindrance, so he pushed him onto the wooden table and cut the meat himself.
The job was snatched away by Gu Jiandong, but the old man was still happy.
Distributing the meat is not an easy job. If you distribute too much or too little, these old women who know how to live will beat you up.
The meat was divided according to the number of people in each household. Gu Jiandong cut the meat and Uncle Shen weighed it.
No one in Gu Jiandong's line was dissatisfied, and they all took the meat and went home happily.
The two lines next to it were not so good. The two old men were a bit old and were a bit slow in cutting the meat. Several women complained that everyone wanted the fat meat.
There was only so much fat meat, and it was shared with the lean meat, half fat and half lean meat. Some people wanted all the fat meat, and after taking the meat, they would not leave.
Fortunately, Shen Erzhu is here to calm these ruffians down.
The meat was divided up noisily, and everyone went home with their mouths wide open, carrying the meat.
There were still 50 kilograms of meat that had not been divided up. That was for Gu Jiandong and Shen Shuyu. The two kids risked their lives to kill the wild boar. It would be unreasonable if their meat was the same as the meat shared by everyone else.
Shen Erzhu told everyone that he wanted to leave 50 kilograms of meat for each of the two children, and everyone agreed. They were the ones who hunted the wild boar, and if it weren't for the two children, they wouldn't have any meat to eat. 50 kilograms of wild boar meat for each of them was nothing. Each wild boar weighed more than 200 kilograms, and the two of them only got half a wild boar.
Each person gets 50 kilograms of wild boar meat, which means more than 100 kilograms of meat for two children. It is too eye-catching. Old man and old lady Shen make the decision for the two children and say that each person only needs 25 kilograms of wild boar meat, as it is too much and they cannot finish it.
Not being able to finish it is just an excuse. In some families with many children, the whole family can only get four or five kilograms of meat.
Their Guaibao and Jiandong have so much meat that they can't finish it all in a short time. They might finish their own meat and miss their family's meat.
He always comes here to complain and tell others about his misery, saying that his family members are not in good health and need to eat meat to replenish their body. He asks them to borrow a pound or half a pound of meat. We are from the same village, so do you think he will lend it to you?
If they don't lend it, they will feel uncomfortable seeing the Shen family eating so well. If they go outside and tell others that they have dozens of kilograms of meat, what will they do if they are targeted by those idle people?
Nowadays, meat is much more tempting than money. If you have money but no tickets, you can't buy anything, and the money is meaningless in your hand, but meat is real and can be eaten.
If you borrow it, it's basically like throwing meat buns at a dog, it's gone and never comes back.
Taking too much meat would easily attract people's attention, so Old Man and Old Lady Shen simply didn't want so much meat.
Everyone wanted to get more meat, but the old couple of the Shen family said they only wanted 50 kilograms of meat. When everyone heard this, they felt that the old couple of the Shen family were extremely thoughtful, and no wonder they could raise such an outstanding son like the fourth son of the Shen family.
After hearing this, Liu Pandi felt that her parents-in-law were so stupid. With so much meat in front of them, they said no. She had never seen such stupid people.
If her granddaughter killed three wild boars, she would directly take one.
Seeing that there were only 50 kilograms of meat left, she twisted Uncle Shen's arm and whispered, "Look how stupid our parents are. They could have shared more than 100 kilograms of meat, but they only wanted 50 kilograms.
If they can't finish the food, they can share it with us. We are their own sons and daughters-in-law. If they don't think about their own family and give it away, it will be a pity."
Uncle Shen gave her a cold look and asked, "Want to go back to your mother's home?"
Liu Pandian: “…” Damn it, he just knew how to use this to control her.
"Xiangxi, I was wrong. I just slipped my tongue. My parents are not stupid. I am stupid.
When I get home, I'll cut half a catty of pork to honor my parents. Please don't let me go back to my parents' home, okay?"
"Cut out half a pound of pork." Normally he had nothing to offer his parents, but now that they were given wild boar meat, he, as a son, had to express his gratitude.
Liu Pandi felt so painful. There were few people in the third room, so they only got one pound of meat per person. Of this pound of meat, he had to give half a pound to honor his parents-in-law.
She really deserves to be spanked for her mouth. She shouldn't have mentioned giving half a catty of meat to honor her parents-in-law.
