The people staying in the camp were full of envy when they saw Ding Yuxiu and her friends returning with a full load.
"Oh, Grandma Guan, you guys have reaped a lot of rewards!" Someone couldn't help but laugh and joked.
"What luck! The three of us, the old, weak, women and children, can't compare to your family of strong laborers. Our lives will be better in the future." Grandma Guan laughed with a smile.
"Thank you for your kind words." The person who spoke still had some grace and ended the topic.
The three of them began to get busy in the tent. Ding Yuxiu set up a stove and boiled a small pot of hot water.
Birds are not big to begin with, so there is nothing to be gained from skinning them. This time, I wasted some of the water I used for washing and removing their feathers.
An An sat in the car obediently and took out the rice grains she had earned today.
Grandma said that it can be stored for a long time if it is dried.
She carefully threaded the needle through the bottom of the outer skin so that it could be hung without taking up space.
Grandma Guan and Ding Yuxiu were preparing dinner at this time. The weather was hot and humid, and meat could not be preserved at all.
I simply chopped up the little birds and stewed them together, making a big pot full.
Ding Yuxiu wet a towel and pressed it against the edge of the pot lid to reduce the smell of meat.
"Xiao Ding, let's try cooking a few grains of rice tonight." Grandma Guan took out four large grains of rice, peeled them and cut them into small pieces with a knife, put them into the pot, stirred them slowly and simmered them. She wanted to see if this would make thick rice porridge.
As the spoon stirs, the rice grains in the pot begin to become soft and glutinous, and the rice soup begins to thicken.
Grandma Guan continued to stir happily. As the water evaporated, the four grains of rice actually cooked into half a pot of white sticky paste, and the rice paste gave off a sweet smell.
"Xiao Ding, come and see, this is great. It looks like two will be enough for us tomorrow." Grandma Guan shook her sore arms, her eyes full of joy.
"Grandma Guan, can you please invite Brother Wei and his son to come over for dinner tonight? After all, they have taken a lot of care of us." Ding Yuxiu looked at the two full pots of food and wanted to return the favor.
"Okay, there's enough food." Grandma Guan nodded, approving of her approach.
As the sky gradually darkened, Qian Hao and his team had not returned yet, which made the family members of the team gather at Ding Yuxiu's place.
"Don't panic, he may be on his way back. Xiao Ding, take a few people to check him out." Grandma Guan's words reassured everyone.
Ding Yuxiu and two other family members walked towards the garrison together. Because Qian Hao had gone out with the army during the day, she wanted to see if the soldiers had returned.
Unexpectedly, as soon as they arrived at the garrison and hadn't even asked, they heard a noise outside the camp. Ding Yuxiu hurriedly ran over behind the soldier.
"Brother Hao!" Seeing Qian Hao covered in blood, Ding Yuxiu was so scared that her scalp exploded and she shouted with a pale face.
"Yuxiu? Why are you here? Don't worry, I'm fine. I'm covered in pig blood." When Qian Hao saw his wife at the door, he knew she was waiting for him. He hurriedly explained the origin of the blood on her body for fear that she would imagine too much and scare herself.
Ding Yuxiu finally felt relieved. "Are you really not hurt?"
"No, don't worry, I'm being careful." Qian Hao looked at himself covered in blood and did not go forward to touch his wife.
"What about the others? Are they all safe?" Ding Yuxiu thought of the other people behind her and asked hurriedly.
"It's okay, no one was hurt, don't worry."
The two people who followed were relieved. Looking at the two preys with joy in their hearts, they quickly turned around to look for their men.
The commotion here quickly attracted the attention of everyone in the camp, and they all dropped what they were doing and ran over to watch the fun.
As I watched, I felt a sour taste in my mouth. Captain Qian's six-man team is just too lucky, right?
His wife had already had a great time today, but she didn't expect him to be even more impressive. He came back with the army carrying two wild boar cubs. Each of the piglets was estimated to weigh two or three hundred kilograms.
Seeing that the soldier was about to carry the wild boar away, some people rolled their eyes in displeasure.
"Hey, soldier, where are you guys going to carry this to? We can just divide it up here."
"That's right, it's so troublesome to move around." Someone actually agreed, really not thinking of making trouble.
Those who know what's going on have quietly moved aside, fearing that they will be infected with the virus called "not knowing what's going on" from these people.
"Captain Qian is truly capable. Today, we will all take advantage of your kindness."
Wei Binbin was so angry when the hat came down that he was about to rush out, but his father grabbed him and said, "What are you doing? Watch carefully."
The soldiers were so angry that they laughed. They put the piglets down to rest and wait to see how the drama would end.
Qian Hao snorted coldly, crossed his arms over his chest, and glanced at the onlookers with a half-smile in his eyes.
"Oh? Big guys? Come and show me who's trying to take advantage of the situation."
As soon as these words were spoken, not only did no one step forward, but everyone took several steps back, revealing the few people who had just shamelessly responded.
Several people looked at the others with red faces, "You, you are a bunch of hypocritical villains."
"Bah, we would rather be hypocritical villains than be shameless people like you."
"Exactly, you're really shameless. You want the supplies that people risked their lives for? How shameless!"
"You're still the whole group. Who are you? You can't represent us. You're shameless."
"They are usually lazy and like to eat and do nothing. They are so young and don't want to support themselves. What era is this? How can they be like this?"
……
Several people just stood there with red faces, unable to resist the pointing and criticizing of the crowd.
"What are you doing? What are you doing? Is it a big deal to bully someone with a large number of people? Don't be afraid, son, mom is here." A thin old lady pushed aside the people blocking the way and rushed in, standing next to the person who spoke.
He stood with his hands on his hips, frowning, and scanning everyone with a gloomy look. Everyone knew this man, a notoriously unreasonable person.
Father Wei sneered and walked out carrying a bloody sword.
With a swish, the long knife stabbed directly into the grass in front of the woman, with the blade halfway inside, and the cold eyes looked straight at her.
"Just a few harsh words and you're going to get what we risked our lives for? What? Do you think we'll be scared just because a woman comes along?"
The woman was so frightened that her face turned pale. She actually didn't know the whole story. She just saw her son surrounded by people from afar and thought that others were bullying him.
Unable to see his mother's expression, the man only saw someone standing in front of him, and his courage immediately grew, and he stretched his neck and shouted.
"Why are you so afraid? We should have a share. We are all from the same group. Why can you eat and drink delicious food, but we don't have a share?"
The woman turned around in surprise and looked at her son with a ferocious face behind her. There was shock and some disbelief in her eyes.
