Chapter 209 A wild boarChapter 209. A wild boar
The meal was eaten at old Zhou’s house. After the meal, the two sisters came over and sat around.
Lin Qing He welcomed them. After all, the two of them weren’t some high-ranking relatives and were still very peaceful. So it was okay to have these two relatives in the house.
Both First Sister and Second Sister knew Fourth’s wife had really changed for the better. Naturally, they were willing to mingle with them.
Before Lin Qing He came over, they hadn’t taken a single step here. Of course, the original owner wouldn’t care if they did.
In the mind of the original owner, it would be better to remove the relationship with these two paupers earlier.
Eldest Sister and Second Sister took their own man back once it was two o’clock in the afternoon. The two families walked on the same road, so the two sisters had a chat.
"Fourth’s wife is getting more and more sensible now." Eldest Sister remarked with great satisfaction.
"In the past, Qing Bai wasn’t at home. A woman on her own with three children, wasn’t easy especially since she was still young at that time," said Second Sister.
She pinpointed this as the cause.
Eldest Brother thought so too.
For a woman, the rest wasn’t important. Just can’t go without a man in the family.
The men in the family are just like the pillars, how can they do without pillars?
Eldest Sister and Second Sister both had very traditional minds. But because of this mind, they both lived very contentedly.
Although the parents-in-law were partial to the first branch on Second Sister’s side, the couple had have moved out now. No matter what happens in the future, it won’t affect them.
So the heart was at ease.
"Eldest sister, I’m afraid it will take a while to pay back the money I owe you." Second Sister told Eldest Sister.
"Live your life well first before we talk about it." Eldest Sister didn’t mind much.
The conditions at her home weren’t great, but she wasn’t in a hurry to spend money.
The two sisters talked all the way until the point of splitting away. Only then they took their man home.
Lin Qing He didn’t know about the sisters’ conversation revolving around her. She was in the middle of steaming red beans.
She was planning to make some red bean mantou.
The red beans were boiled until the water is gone. Use a spoon to pound these cooked red beans into red bean paste. Then add the appropriate amount of sugar and stir well.
Afterward, scoop it out, put it on the rolled dough, wrap it up, and put it in the pot. The steamed out mantou will come out with red bean paste filling.
It was just slightly sweet. Still, Zhou Qing Bai can eat seven of this mantou in one meal.
The boys especially liked them.
Not to mention Father Zhou and Mother Zhou. Each can eat a few with the soup made with crushed sesame and peanuts.
Seeing how freezing this year’s winter was, they didn’t go to the city to play. Wait until it’s almost spring and see. It was better to take a photo once a year as a memory keepsake.
Zhou Qing Bai and his two younger sons had nothing to do and went hunting pheasants and hares every day. Lin Qing He cooked up wonderful food at home when idle.
Speaking of which, the busiest was Da Wa. He memorized texts, solved math problems, and wrote essays.
On the seventh day of the first month, Lin Qing He gave him a day off.
"Your father and your uncle are going to a place farther away to hunt pheasants. Want ti go with them?" Lin Qing He asked.
Da Wa was really excited, so he looked at his father.
Zhou Qing Bai had no objection, but stated: "Don’t hold us back."
"I definitely won’t!" Da Wa immediately vowed.
Because the place they were going was so far away, Er Wa and San Wa couldn’t join. It was no problem for Da Wa. This kid was still developing, comparable to an average 14-year-old. He was already one meter sixty.
Last year, he sprouted ten centimeters. During this winter, she got to make two new sets for him. Last year’s ones can’t be worn.
What’s more, his physical fitness was great. If it weren’t for the extreme cold, he would go for a run with his father.
Once Third Brother Lin came over, they set off together. Each carried a hatchet for emergency situations.
After all, in winter, it wasn’t strange for large wild animals to come out for food.
Of course, Zhou Qing Bai didn’t need it. He was quite capable, can handle with his bare hands. A wolf might not be his opponent.
Third Brother Lin and Da Wa had one each, There was also mantou. They didn’t need to come back to eat at noon. Just having mantou outside.
It was just one meal, so don’t worry about it. A hearty meal will be made when they come back tonight.
It was getting dark, nearly reaching the evening when Zhou Qing Bai, Da Wa, and Third Brother Lin dragged a giant creature back.
Yes, a giant creature!
"Wild boar!" Lin Qing He’s eyes bulged out as she uttered in surprise.
This giant creature that was dragged back on a wooden board was truly a wild boar with fangs!
Today they went hunting pheasants, but unexpectedly, such a big wild boar was brought back!
Father Zhou and Mother Zhou came over. Obviously, they were surprised to see such a big wild boar.
"Are Qing Bai and Da Wa okay?" Mother Zhou hurriedly asked.
"They’re fine. Father, Mother, don’t worry." Lin Qing He comforted.
Third Brother Lin was fine too.
Speaking of this wild boar, there was a certain element of luck. It was Zhou Qing Bai, who dealt the greatest damage. He struck this thick-skinned wild boar twice and force the wild boar to charge toward him. What ability did Zhou Qing Bai?
He deliberately chopped at it. It just happened that it slammed into the boulder when Zhou Qing Bai dodged. Then another two strikes were added and the wild boar was dead.
Although the process described by Da Wa sounded simple, it was obviously thrilling on the spot.
At this time, the three of them were all eating. They had ribs noodles. Also a bowl of scrambled eggs as an accompaniment.
Including Zhou Qingbai, they were all-devouring. Even a brawny man like Zhou Qing Bai was drained after dragging such a wild boar back from such a far place. Especially when they only ate two mantou at noon. They weren’t filling at all.
After seeing all three of them were in perfect condition, Mother Zhou was relieved.
Villagers standing outside the door wanted to get some benefit and couldn’t endure anymore: "Teacher Lin, this wild boar is such a big one. How about dividing it?"
Before Lin Qing He opened her mouth, Mother Zhou spouted: "You can dream on. My family’s Qing Bai and the others used their life to get it. You want to get it by opening your mouth. Why don’t you fly to heaven?"
"Our family can’t finish this meat. However, Da Wa will enter high school this year. Our family normally got large expenses. There’s not much money left. This wild boar came at the right time." Lin Qing He said.
Everyone understood at once. This was for sale?
"Isn’t Da Wa in the First Year of junior high school? Why is he going to high school?" someone asked.
"Planning to skip a grade this year and directly enter the Second Year. Isn’t there a high school entrance exam in the second semester?" Lin Qinghe said.
Everyone was in an uproar.
"This boar meat count as a normal exchange. It’s not selling. The family got no choice, they got to provide for the children’s education. If anyone wants to report my fourth boy selling, then you can try. My ancestors were more than a dozen generations of poor peasants. We just want to produce a college student to serve the country!" Father Zhou stated.
