“White Dragon Horse, don't be too hasty, support Tangshan's funeral, kick three disciples to death…”
Linjia Village, at the entrance of the mountain pass.
A carefree young man hummed an unknown tune, riding a donkey with a dog, walking towards the village.
“Grandpa, Grandma, I’m back, and I brought Big Jiang’s wife back too.”
Lin Yu dismounted the donkey and shouted loudly towards the door.
“Oh, my grandson is back, old man, come out and see.” Lin grandma, hearing her grandson’s voice, ran out excitedly.
Seeing Lin Yu leading the donkey into the courtyard, the old woman was taken aback.
“My goodness, grandson, you didn't go hunting in some village, did you? Why did you bring back a donkey?”
Lin Yu took down the sack hanging on the donkey and said to the old woman with a smile:
“Grandma, I found this in the mountains, it beat me up, so I brought it back. See if we can keep it, if not, we'll kill it and eat the meat.”
The old woman looked at the donkey with shining eyes. It was a large animal.
In this era, large animals were more precious than private cars in the past.
“We can keep it, we can keep it, why not?” The old lady nodded.
“Grandma, do you think this donkey can be exchanged for a wife for my Big Jiang brother?”
The old woman burst out laughing: “This child, what are you talking about? What golden branch and jade leaf, how can it be worth a donkey.”
Lin Yu was stunned. In the old lady's eyes, a daughter-in-law was not as valuable as a donkey.
Lin grandpa also heard the voices and came out from the house: "Don’t listen to your grandma’s nonsense, anyone who dares to bring a donkey to our house to exchange for your sisters, your grandma will break his legs.”
Hearing the old man's words, Lin Yu nodded in agreement.
There was no mistake in what he said. Our Lin family's daughters were worth more than a donkey.
Don't believe me, just look at my sister, she kicks even better than a donkey.
“Grandson, what did you hunt?” The old man looked at the sack.
Lin Yu opened the sack, revealing a wild mountain goat.
“Grandpa, we'll keep this goat for ourselves.”
“There are 9 wild boars and 5 wolves in the cave. I’m going to sell them to the factory. I'll have to call the steel factory in town and ask them to send someone.”
“It’s too hot now, the meat won't last long, so I didn’t bring any back home.”
Lin Yu didn't want to sell all the wild boars he hunted to the steel factory.
He only planned to sell the three big boars from the bottom of the ravine and the four big boars from the wild boar group in the valley to the steel factory to settle the matter.
Otherwise, with Li Huaide's personality, he would still think hunting was easy.
As for the extra 90-plus pound half-grown boar, Lin Yu planned to keep it at home to eat.
Besides, wouldn’t Li Huaide, his direct supervisor Wang Hongjun, and his mother’s street office need some meat?
Lin Yu also planned to ask them to help him figure out how to get a house,
The old man shook his head and said: “No need to go to town, someone came yesterday and installed a phone for our commune. Just have your big brother call the steel factory later.”
The old man turned to Lin grandma and said: “Old lady, go tell Baojia to call the steel factory.”
Hearing this, Lin Yu also quickly took out his pen and notebook and wrote down the steel factory’s phone number.
“Grandma, ask my big brother to call, directly to my dad, tell him to send someone to pick up the meat tomorrow.”
After writing down his father's position, Lin Yu handed it to the old lady.
The old man walked around the donkey, looking it over, then suddenly said to Lin grandma who was about to go out the door:
“Old lady, wait, I'll lead the donkey, you sit on the donkey.”
“Go away, you old rascal, I’m so old, why would I sit on a donkey.”
The old man chuckled: “Didn't you bring a donkey from home as part of your dowry? We had to exchange it for grain during the most difficult time.”
“Now our grandson is filial and brought back a donkey. You can also have a ride on it.”
He didn't care about the old lady’s objections, he directly picked up the old lady and put her on the donkey’s back.
“Haha, wife, hold on tight.” The old man laughed out loud and led the donkey out.
Lin Yu watched with a smile as the old man, with the unique romance of his generation, coaxed the old lady to laugh like a little girl.
“So good, this family is so good.”
Looking around to make sure no one was watching, Lin Yu realized that it would take the old man and the old lady at least an hour to return.
He immediately put the wild mountain goat into his space.
In the next instant, Lin Yu took out a cleanly processed wild mountain goat.
The hunting processing factory had done a thorough job, even cleaning the goat intestines.
To avoid suspicion from the old man, Lin Yu specifically got some goat dung and poured it onto the dung pile in the vegetable field.
This was only because goats were relatively clean. Lin Yu wouldn’t dare to do this if it were a wild boar.
Just processing a wild boar would take more than an hour.
After taking care of the mountain goat, Lin Yu went to a shady spot, lay down on the old man’s reclining chair, and took a nap.
【Ding, Host, you have completed a perfect hunting operation. Please claim the following rewards.】
【Ding, Congratulations, Host, you have obtained the skill Bajiquan (Master Level), Vehicle Driving (Proficient), and Driver’s License *1】
“Skills again, System is awesome.” Lin Yu said excitedly.
Bajiquan, the famous Happy Fist of Sha Zhu, was a must-have skill for many time-travelers.
Vehicle driving was even better. Lin Yu would inevitably need to hunt in various places in the future, and with this skill, he could get a vehicle.
As for the driver's license, needless to say, China began issuing driver's licenses in 1949.
The earliest driver's license discovered so far was issued to Yang Qiulin, a driver of the Beijing Public Transportation Corporation, in Shijiazhuang in 1950.
With the newly acquired skills, Lin Yu was too excited to rest.
He immediately cleaned the goat innards and put them in a large pot to boil goat soup.
Then he took an axe and chopped up the goat.
He set aside a goat leg and a goat rack to take home for his mother and sisters.
Otherwise, even if Lin Yu didn’t plan to leave, the old lady would make him take some back.
As for the old man, Lin Yu wasn’t worried that he would lack meat.
With Tiger at home, and his big brother and elder cousin, how could the old man be short of meat?
Besides, Lin Yu and the old man had hunted a big wild boar two days ago.
Now the old man’s barn was full of salted and smoked meat, at least 100 pounds.
