“Hurry up, don't dawdle.”
“Sister, you told me to heat up water, and now you want me to lift the bench. How can I do everything?”
The little girl carried one end of the bench, grumbling to herself.
Until she looked up and saw Li Yu carrying fresh meat on his back in the yard.
A smile immediately spread across her face.
“Brother-in-law, did you hunt this big pig?”
The little girl was always a foodie.
After craving meat for so long, she finally saw some.
She almost wanted to drop the bench and take a bite right away.
“Don’t be noisy. Can’t you see Yu Ge is still carrying such heavy meat?”
“Oh, oh, oh!”
The little girl knew better this time.
She helped her sister put the bench in the yard.
Li Yu then put the yellow-haired wild boar on the bench and let out a long sigh of relief.
Although his constitution had increased.
Carrying such heavy meat for over an hour down the mountain path was still tiring.
Hua Hua, who had been following Li Yu, carefully glanced at the two women before happily entering the wooden shed.
With her belly full, she finally could lie down and digest.
“Wow, there’s so much lard, Brother-in-law, you’re amazing!”
The little girl stroked the wild boar meat.
She turned her head and gave Li Yu a thumbs-up.
Show Xiu quickly brought Li Yu a basin of hot water from the house.
“Look at you, you’re sweating all over. Hurry up and wipe yourself off. Be careful you don’t catch a cold.”
Li Yu didn’t refuse his wife’s kindness.
He smiled and said.
“I really hit the jackpot today. I found such a virtuous wife!”
Girls from this era are still the best.
Once they commit to someone, they generally take good care of the family and give their husband enough face, both inside and outside the home.
Unlike those brainwashed women in the modern world.
They want houses, cars, and dowries. They don’t want to work, be thrifty, or have children.
I don't know where they get their confidence to make such demands with such a brazen attitude.
Show Xiu smiled faintly.
Li Yu’s praise made her feel good.
But the little girl couldn't sit still.
She kept saying.
“Brother-in-law, I’m also very virtuous, okay? I did most of the housework today!”
“Alright, alright. In view of Comrade Xiao Min's performance today, I’ll specially reward you with a good piece of meat later.”
“Hahaha.”
After the joke.
Li Yu prepared to start butchering the pig.
On such a cold day, if he dragged it out any longer, the meat would turn into ice.
Show Xiu and Xiao Min helped on the side.
Li Yu cut off a piece of meat, and they took it to the jar under the eaves and put it away.
After everything was done, they would cover it with snow.
Without being contaminated, it could be preserved for a long time.
The only problem was that they didn’t have much salt and no ration coupons.
Otherwise, they could have smoked some bacon and hung it in the house so they could cut a slice whenever they wanted.
But with their limited conditions, they could only put the meat outside and let the natural refrigerator freeze it.
The yellow-haired pig only weighed about two hundred kilograms.
Li Yu’s knife was fast.
It didn’t take long for him to butcher it completely.
He picked up the last pig foot.
“Show Xiu, stew the pig foot later, let’s have a good meal tonight!”
Little Min, whose appetite had been whetted,.
Her eyes lit up when she heard this.
With so much meat left.
Plus today was a day worth celebrating.
Show Xiu didn’t want to spoil the fun between her husband and Xiao Min.
So she nodded with a smile and took the hind leg.
She went to gather firewood to singe the pig hair.
Xiao Min, on the other hand, went to Li Yu, who was wiping his hands.
She asked with the curiosity of a child.
“Brother-in-law, are there many wild boars in the mountains?”
“There are quite a few!”
Li Yu nodded and explained.
“These guys are prolific. A litter can have several piglets, and sometimes they can even have two litters a year.”
They lived right next to the Xing’an Mountains.
Although there were many hunters nearby, there were even more wild boars in the forest.
The hunters couldn't kill them as fast as they reproduced.
Just before the harvest, several production brigades would join forces to hunt.
This would not only control the population of these animals but also protect the crops from being destroyed.
It also allowed them to taste meat that they hadn't had in a long time, a win-win situation.
“Really?”
The little girl immediately leaned closer to Li Yu.
“Brother-in-law, can you take me to see next time you go up the mountain?”
“No!”
Li Yu rejected her without hesitation.
“Why?”
The little girl was unhappy.
She immediately wrapped her arms around Li Yu and begged.
“Brother-in-law, please take me, I promise to be good and listen to you. If you tell me to go east, I’ll never go west.”
As a city kid.
She had always heard neighbors gossiping.
They talked about how exciting it was to hunt in the forest with hunters.
When she was little, she wanted to be a skilled hunter who could shoot prey from a hundred meters away.
Now, by chance, she had met a real hunter, her brother-in-law.
Naturally, she had to find a way to satisfy her childhood curiosity.
So.
She used her puppy dog eyes on Li Yu.
Her sister used to be constantly pestered by her, and as long as it wasn’t too much, she would agree to her requests.
She didn’t believe this wouldn’t work on her brother-in-law.
“Ahem!”
Li Yu quickly pushed the little girl away.
No, she should be called a big girl.
This showed that her parents had treated their daughters well.
At least they didn’t lack food and drink, otherwise, how would they have grown into big girls!
Although he enjoyed it.
But it wasn’t good for Show Xiu to see them being so touchy.
“Stop shaking, the forest isn’t as simple as you think. There are all kinds of dangerous things. Why are you going to cause trouble? Just stay at home and wait to eat meat, wouldn’t that be better?”
“Brother-in-law!”
Xiao Min pouted.
She mumbled.
“I’m not going to cause trouble, don’t underestimate me. I may be skinny, but I’m very strong, and I can help you.”
Li Yu rolled his eyes.
She was big, but he didn’t know if she was strong.
He was truly exhausted by this little girl.
In the end, he could only nod and say.
“Alright, as long as your sister agrees, I’ll take you to see the world.”
He would just let her hang around the outer edge. There shouldn’t be any danger.
He was worried about having too much prey and nobody to help him. He could let this girl do some hard labor and see if she dared to complain about going with him again next time.
He could also test whether the attribute points could be used on them.
If they could be used, he could train Show Xiu.
Then they could work together, which would be less tiring and wouldn’t require outsiders.
“(＾－＾)V, yay! I knew Brother-in-law is the best!”
