I make a living solving crimes.

Chapter 91 The hope of the whole family

The house was stuffy, so after dinner the family sat under a big tree outside the yard to enjoy the cool air and chat.

He remembered summer evenings like this as a child.

Seven or eight stars in the sky, two or three drops of rain in front of the mountain.

The scenery that people in later generations could not obtain is now common and sparse.

The family members chatted about trivial matters. Chang Wei also asked his second aunt a few questions about agricultural planting. When she heard that he wanted some seeds, she readily agreed and went to the village office.

A sturdy man came up the path, a straw hat on his head to shield him from the sun, a rifle slung over his shoulder.

Seeing the Chang family, he quickly walked forward and asked, "Grandma, aren't you resting?"

"Little Thirteen." The old lady smiled and turned her head and said, "Chang Wei, this is your Thirteenth Uncle."

Chang Wei hurriedly stood up and called for help.

Of course he knew him, Chang Luo, Chang Wei's uncle and the son of Chang Grandpa's fifth brother.

He is now the captain of the village militia. He used to be a hunter and is a good shooter.

"How was the harvest?" Grandpa Chang asked lazily.

Chang Luo spread his hands and said, "I didn't get the condom to work yesterday. Let's see tomorrow."

This answer is not unexpected.

Wild animals are not stupid. After being eaten for so many years, they will become more cautious.

Chang Wei took out a cigarette and handed it over, curiously asking, "Uncle Thirteen, are there any big goods in the mountains?"

Chang Luo patted Chang Wei's shoulder with his rough hands. Seeing that Chang Wei was staring at the rifle in his hand, he handed it to him and said, "Big stuff? Do you mean wild boar or wild sheep?"

Chang Wei was playing with the rifle in his hand. He didn't quite recognize it, probably a Hanyang model. Hearing Chang Luo's words, he looked up and asked, "Do you have them all?"

"Yes, but you have to go deeper into the mountains. A few years ago, wild boars dared to come down the mountains, but now they are scared after being beaten."

Chang Wei sighed, it would be great if he didn’t have to go to work.

When I was a kid, I didn’t know much and would run around in the village all day. After traveling through time, I realized the principle of living off the land, but unfortunately I have to go to work again.

The two chatted for a while, and Chang Luo was ready to go home. Grandpa Chang said slowly: "I will stew mutton soup in the evening. Let's drink some together later."

Chang Luo did not take the invitation seriously. After all, in this era, eating other people's food would be looked down upon.

Hearing his refusal, the old man knocked his pipe against the tree, sparks flew, and said impatiently: "Your wife is pregnant, she needs to eat more oily food. Bring a basin over tonight and drink with me."

Chang Luo quickly expressed his gratitude, "Hey, I'll come drink with Uncle Six tonight. There's still some rabbit meat at home, I'll bring it over later."

Grandpa Chang was finally satisfied. He closed his eyes and leaned back. "Hmph, that's good enough. You can go and get busy first."

After Chang Luo left, the old lady smiled and tapped her son, "How can there be an uncle like you who invites his nephew to drink and then charges him for his meat."

"Is rabbit meat considered meat? It's not oily at all. Those who eat it respect it." Grandpa Chang was very proud. "In the evening, we drank the Xifeng wine that my eldest grandson brought back. Can ordinary people drink it?"

This is true. Xifeng Liquor is not cheap.

"My eldest grandson is back, so what's wrong with eating half of his rabbit?" Grandpa Chang was still muttering.

Chang Wei said quickly: "Grandpa, I have to leave soon."

"Why are you in such a hurry? Eat dinner first, then leave. I'll stew the mutton later."

"No, I'm on duty tonight. It will be dark when I return after dinner." Chang Wei squatted in front of the old lady, "Grandma, I'll come to see you again in a few days."

The old lady wanted to stay, but was afraid of affecting his work. After a long while, she sighed and reminded him: "Be careful when you go to this class, don't be stupid and rush to the front."

Chang Wei listened obediently, and waited until the old lady finished speaking before saying, "Old Ancestor, don't worry, there are not many bad people in the city now. I am the youngest in the station, and I usually just read newspapers and write, and I don't go out."

My grandparents were reluctant to leave, but they didn't try to keep us as the two places were hundreds of miles apart and it would take more than two hours to get back.

After entering the house, Chang Wei helped the old lady to lie on the kang to rest and chatted with her for a while. Then he saw Chang Nan following closely behind him and took out a handful of glass balls from his pocket.

"Brother, is this for me?"

"Take it and play with it." When Chang Nan stretched out his hand, Chang Wei retracted it again, "My second brother and I are stupid and can't learn grandfather's medical skills. You have to learn it well."

Chang Nan held it in both hands, his face looking bitter.

The lost ancestral medical skills now depend on this eight-year-old child. This is the hope of the whole family.

"By the New Year, if you learn the Tangtou song, I'll give you the pistol to play with."

"Brother, are you serious?"

"Is it fun to lie to a kid like you?"

"Brother, that's a deal!"

"Ok!"

Hey, young people are so good....cheating!

The bags I brought back were full again, filled with all kinds of mountain products, mushrooms, hazelnuts, walnuts...

When they come, they have one bag, and when they leave, they have to add two bamboo baskets, one for rabbits and the other for chicks.

The grandfather and grandson walked side by side towards the outside of the village, and Chang Ni and Chang Nan followed with bamboo baskets.

"Sixth Uncle, where are you going with the pot on your back?" an idle person who was playing chess at the entrance of the village shouted.

Grandpa waved his hand and said, "To the old family, my eldest granddaughter has moved and she just happened to be in need of a pot."

"Is it Changda? Did she get a room?"

"Well, my eldest grandson went to work as a policeman and arranged a small yard for his sister."

"Chang Wei is very capable. I think he has been smart since he was young."

Grandpa Chang took a detour just for this incident. He waved his hand and continued down the mountain carrying the pot.

At the foot of the mountain, Chang Wei said goodbye to them. Lastly, he stuffed twenty yuan into Chang Ni's pocket, held her hand and whispered, "Go back and tell the old man that I put some money under her pillow for her to buy snacks. You can keep this money for your own pocket money to buy stationery."

The little girl pouted, and the old man came over with the pot on his back, "Your big brother gave it to you, just take it."

"Thank you, big brother." The little girl then shyly put it away and murmured, "Big brother, when will you come back next time?"

Nine years ago, she still stumbled when she walked and followed Chang Wei like a little tail every day.

"I'll come back if I have a holiday." Chang Wei smoothed the pigtail beside her ear, "Your school is still a bit far away, so go there first. I'll go back and ask someone. If there's a chance, you can go to the city to study."

"Really?" Chang Ni's eyes were covered with a layer of excitement, and then she lowered her head, "No, it costs more to study in the city."

"This is not your concern. Don't be anxious. Take your time." Chang Wei took the cage from the siblings and said, "Grandpa, please go into the mountain slowly."

"It's okay. I'm familiar with the route." Grandpa Chang pushed the iron pot on his shoulder upwards and waved his hand nonchalantly, "Hurry up and don't delay on the road."

After waving goodbye to his family and watching his grandfather carrying the pot into the mountains, Chang Wei walked along the road to a deserted place and went into the woods. When he came out, his hands were empty.

In the black space, the wall bricks rolled, and after a while, the rabbit nest and chicken coop were built. There was no wind or rain here, so all they had to do was build the four walls and the floor.

He wanted to try and see if he could raise something else besides fish.

In addition, he also got some seeds, corn, sweet potatoes, cabbage, radish, onion, tomato, loofah, pumpkin...

On the bus back to the city, he was busy turning the soil and sowing seeds in the black soil. There were no bees and no brush with him, so he could only tear a piece of straw paper into strips and smear them everywhere on the watermelon flowers.

I also asked about the potatoes. According to Second Aunt, they will be mature in about a month.

Chang Wei calculated that the growth period of potatoes is three to five months, which means he planted it for half a month and it grew for about three months. The speed of time flow is one to five?

No wonder the mandarin fish fry grow so fast.

He quickly took out the cabbages and threw some into the rabbit hutch and the chicken coop.

Damn, I have to feed them five times a day. The rabbits reproduce so fast, will I be able to feed them myself?

Fortunately, this is raising rabbits, it would be a disaster if it was raising pigs.

Do I really have to learn how to take care of sows after delivery?

PS: I’m a new author with a new book, and I’ve always been worried about gains and losses. Yesterday, I shamelessly sold the book out for sale, but many friends commented or left messages of support. I was really humbled!

I'll add one chapter first, and then after the score is adjusted later, I'll add one chapter for every 0.1 increase!

Bow down and thank you!
