Gu Mingnan ran all the way home. After giving two small wild boars to his sister who was stunned by surprise, he turned around and ran towards Gu Jianguo.
"Third uncle! Third uncle! Third uncle, open the door quickly!"
Gu Jianguo is the scorekeeper, and his family lives in the center of Dahe Village.
When Gu's second brother knocked on the door, Gu Jianguo's family was sitting and eating.
"It seems to be Anan's voice." The speaker was Gu Jianguo's eldest son Gu Baojia. When he spoke, he subconsciously glanced at Aunt Gu.
Aunt Gu's face turned dark and she patted down her chopsticks: "Why is he here so early in the morning?"
The two daughters-in-law didn't look good either, but the Gu Bao family and the Gu Wei family brothers looked better.
Gu Jianguo didn't care about his wife's expression: "Baojia, hurry up and open the door."
Gu Baojia quickly stood up and opened the door.
The second brother Gu rushed in and shouted: "Uncle Third, my brother has shot a wild boar on the mountain. Please take a few people up the mountain to carry it down."
"What? Wild boar?" Gu Jianguo doubted his ears.
As for his eldest nephew, who can only get nine work points for his work, how can he hunt wild boar?
The Gu Bao family didn't believe it either, so they slapped their cousin on the head hard: "What sweet dream are you having so early in the morning?"
The second brother Gu was anxious: "It's true, it's so big, like a wild boar on a hill."
But the second son, Gu Weijia, stood up and asked: "Anan, is it true or not, your brother can still hunt a wild boar?"
"Huan Xiaoshantou, are you dizzy from hunger?"
"Why don't you sit down and drink your porridge to sober up?"
Gu's second brother swore, "My brother was the one who beat him. Third uncle, please take someone up the mountain to carry him down. I'm not here to lie to you because I'm full and have nothing to do."
Gu Weijia wiped his lips and said, "Dad, I'll go with him to have a look."
"Brother Wei, you can't carry it alone. You need to call a few more people. That wild boar can weigh several hundred kilograms." Brother Gu was excited and proud at the same time.
"Really, a few of us can't carry it!"
Gu Jianguo still didn't believe it in his heart, but he felt that his nephew would not joke about this kind of thing, so he shouted: "You guys go together to protect the family, and then call the Iron Bull next door."
Seeing the men leaving without eating, Aunt Gu became even more angry: "What wild boar? Who is he trying to fool? He still has hundreds of kilograms of meat. I think their family is crazy because of poverty."
The two wives looked at each other, hoping in their hearts that this was true, after all, it was meat.
He was about to go out and call someone, but Gu Erdi's voice was so loud that almost everyone around him heard it and came out to watch the excitement.
"Jianguo, did Adong really hit a wild boar?" They were curious and surprised.
Gu Jianguo couldn't answer it, fearing that it would be false and ruin his eldest nephew's reputation.
Gu's second brother didn't have such worries, and shouted loudly: "Of course it's true, that's hundreds of kilograms of meat. Just a few more people to carry it down."
As soon as they heard that there was meat, several men came forward and said they wanted to go together, regardless of Jianguo's greetings.
Gu Jianguo was worried as he led a group of people to the top of the mountain. If he didn't see the wild boar later, Adong's reputation in the village would really be ruined.
The second brother Gu didn't understand the third uncle's struggle, and still urged: "You guys should walk faster. Didn't you have enough food in the morning?"
"Anan, my family is almost out of food. We haven't even eaten breakfast, so I'm counting on your brother to hunt the wild boar." Someone shouted with a smile.
"If you want to eat meat, walk faster." Gu Erdi was really anxious.
The Gu Wei family pulled the eldest brother's clothes and asked, "Brother, is it possible that A Dong really shot a wild boar?"
Gu Baojia frowned: "I see Xuan."
Soon a group of people arrived at the place. Gu Jianguo didn't see the wild boar at all. He felt a thump in his heart and asked hurriedly: "A Dong, where is the wild boar?"
Could it be that they are all fake? How does this end?
The second brother Gu was also surprised: "Brother, where is the wild boar?"
Gu Mingdong pointed to the small slope next to him: "It's over there."
The Gu Wei family rushed over to take a look and exclaimed: "Dad, there really is a wild boar, it's so big."
The people who followed quickly moved over to take a look, and saw a huge monster lying at the foot of the slightly steep hillside, with sharp fangs exposed outside its mouth, and its strong black body, all of which demonstrated its outstanding lethality.
Seeing the wild boar weighing at least two to three hundred kilograms, the eyes of the people on the hillside lit up, and they could not remember their suspicions just now.
"It's really a wild boar!"
"It's so big, it must weigh three hundred kilograms!"
"Pull it up with a rope, and I'll go down and tie it up."
Without Gu Jianguo's orders, Li Tieniu slid down without saying a word and tied the wild boar with the rope.
Fortunately, many men came and pulled hard together, and finally the wild boar was pulled up from the hillside.
They found wooden sticks from local materials, turned the wild boar upside down and tied its four legs, and several men carried it down the mountain.
Gu Jianguo came to his senses at this moment and breathed a sigh of relief at first. The reputation of his eldest nephew had been preserved.
Then he became strange again: "A Dong, how did you kill such a big wild boar?"
The second brother Gu was in high spirits. Hearing these words, he paused and subconsciously looked at his eldest brother.
Gu Mingdong followed him down the mountain, and his expression did not change when he heard these words: "There is no firewood at home, so I just want to go up the mountain and chop some firewood to use before going to work."
"Who would have expected that I would encounter this big guy as soon as I went up the mountain? The wild boar was so angry that it chased me. I had no choice but to run away. Who knew that the wild boar didn't stop the car on its own and fell down the hillside to its death."
"A Dong, you are so lucky!" Gu Weijia said with envy.
Hey, everyone is better than others, they are all cousins, but sometimes he also envies this cousin.
Although both his parents were dead, he was lucky enough to marry a free city wife and gave birth to a pair of twins, and now there are wild boars coming to his door to feed him.
Gu Jianguo always felt that something was wrong, but the others didn't care so much. They carried the wild boar into the village and were already happily arranging it.
This is all meat!
Some of the members boiled water, some held knives, some killed pigs, and some removed hair, and they all cooperated in a tacit understanding.
Wild boars have rough skin and thick flesh, and there is a thick layer of mud stuck to them. It is much more troublesome to clean up than domestic pigs, but no one finds it troublesome at the moment. When they think that this is meat that can be eaten, everyone is very motivated. , with cheerful faces on their faces.
Aunt Gu was shocked. She grabbed her son and asked, "Wei family, this, is this really what A Dong did?"
"That's not the case. Mom, get a basin quickly. Maybe you can catch some pig blood."
When Lao Liu arrived in a hurry, he saw such a lively scene. The employees were no longer working, and many of them had not even eaten breakfast, but were killing pigs here!
"Wait a minute, stop for a moment!" Lao Liu shouted at the top of his lungs.
No one paid attention to him, and the pig's hair was shed quickly.
"Everyone, listen to me and stop for a moment. The wild boar in the mountains is also the property of the public. You don't dare to eat it directly!"
What he responded to was a sharp blow from the butcher. The wild boar's blood had not completely coagulated and flowed out half of the basin.
The old Liu was so angry that he stamped his feet: "What are you doing, are you poaching the proletariat together?"
With such a serious crime suppressed, the scene of pig killing was suppressed, and even the butcher knife stopped.
Everyone looked at each other in disbelief, and it was natural that they could not dig into the proletariat, but no one would be willing to spit out the meat that was almost in their mouths.
At this time, Gu Mingdong, who had been standing outside the crowd, stood up and said loudly: "Captain, don't talk nonsense. Wild boars are wild boars on the mountain, and they are the assets of the brigade."
"Wild boars can harm crops, and can even hurt people when cornered. They are one of the four pests in our rural areas. In this case, killing them is not a bad thing."
Lao Lao Liu hurriedly said: "It's not a big deal to kill a wild boar, but we can't eat it directly."
Gu Mingdong smiled: "You can kill pigs at the end of the year in exchange for work points and eat meat. I killed the wild boar today, but I don't want to keep it all. I just follow the rules of the village. Everyone will be distributed according to their work. This way there will be no problem. Bar?"
"A Dong said it well!" Li Tieniu shouted loudly.
"But, but..." According to Lao Lao Liu's idea, since he caught the wild boar, he should report it to the police and maybe get a commendation.
Gu Jianguo didn't understand what he was thinking, so he said: "Captain, we handed over so much food last year, but everyone's family is suffering from famine. You go to town again and again, but there is no response to the food relief."
The old Liu was a little embarrassed when he heard this. After all, he was the one responsible for falsely reporting the output last year. Although the nearby production brigades did the same thing, everyone had opinions on paying the public rations, so he gained more and more prestige in the village. Come lower and lower.
"Now that we have this wild boar, we can survive for a while even if we share one point. Our brigade has solved the food problem by itself. Even if the superiors know about it, they will only be happy." Gu Jianguo added.
He knew deep down in his heart that disasters were everywhere nowadays, and he heard that the disasters were worse in the north. The country was afraid that they would not be able to take care of these places where the disasters were less severe.
After asking for disaster relief food for so long, I haven't heard of any nearby production brigade getting it. They are all tightening their belts and working hard.
Gu Jianguo may seem stern, but he also knows that if people don't have enough to eat, they won't have the energy to work, and if they don't have the energy to work, the harvest will be affected.
Besides, this was a wild boar that his eldest nephew had shot, and if he didn't eat it and sent it to the town, it would be the old Gu family who would suffer the most.
"That's right. The family is on a hiatus, so why aren't we allowed to eat meat if it's available?"
"Whatever Adong gets, he is willing to contribute and distribute according to work. What's wrong?"
"If you don't let us eat meat, you go to the town and ask for food."
Seeing that there were more and more complaints, the old Liu's face turned dark, but his wife also made a fuss: "Okay, okay, what's wrong with catching wild boars and dividing them up? Anyway, they are all exchanged for work points, and the town won't say no." Say no."
Obviously Lao Liu wanted praise, but his wife didn't want it. She wanted benefits and meat.
In the end, the old Liu had no choice but to say: "Well, after killing the pigs, weigh them first, and each family will exchange for their work points."
Gu Jianguo spoke again: "This wild boar was hunted by Adong. If the distribution is based on work, he should be given some subsidies."
Wrapped old Liu glanced at the big guy and didn't object: "Okay, give them ten more pounds of meat."
No one objected to this matter. When they heard that the meat could be divided, every household became happy. Some of the anxious ones had already gone home and brought pots and baskets over, eager to eat it in their mouths the next moment.
The wild boar was difficult to handle, but there was strength in numbers, and by noon the wild boar had turned into pieces of meat on the door panel.
Unlike domestic pigs, wild boars have more lean meat and less fat. But the one Gu Mingdong shot was probably the king wild boar. It was big and weighed three hundred and twenty kilograms excluding the inedible parts.
The butcher divided the pork into categories neatly and then looked up at the old Liu and Gu Jianguo.
Wrapped old Liu smacked the meat, and when he looked up, he saw the entire brigade gathered around, staring at the pork like wolves.
With a rare moment of joy, he waved his hand and said, "Let's divide the meat."
After giving the order, the members quickly lined up in a long queue. Gu Mingnan quickly grabbed the best position and looked at the old Liu with a smile: "Uncle, there are six people in my family, and my brother's ten kilograms of meat. Don't forget it."
"I can't forget it." Frustrated Old Liu glanced at the pig butcher and said, "You are the one who makes the right move. It's up to you to share."
The butcher was not polite. He cut the fat meat with one knife and quickly stuffed it into Gu Erdi's basket. More than ten kilograms of meat looked like a full basket.
The second brother Gu felt happy just looking at the meat. He grinned and ran home as the members looked at him with envy.
"Anan, wait a minute." Gu Mingdong stopped him.
He walked over, took out half of the pork from the basket, turned around and stuffed it directly into Aunt Gu's basket.
Third Aunt Gu always had a bad look on him, so she was stunned for a moment when she saw this, and hurriedly refused: "I can't have this."
Gu Mingdong just smiled and said: "It's for a few nephews."
After speaking, he didn't even look at Third Aunt Gu's face, and took Second Brother Gu home directly.
Aunt Gu was carrying the heavy bamboo basket, and she felt bad for a moment. She looked down on the Gu family brothers, and the eldest brother still expected help from her elders.
But now, Gu Mingdong stuffed her with a large piece of meat, which weighed five kilograms, without even blinking.
Aunt Gu was struggling in her heart. Logically speaking, she shouldn't accept it, but it was meat!
The wild boar looked big, weighing three hundred kilograms even if skinned, but that couldn't stop them because there were so many people in the village, and each household would be given at most one or two kilograms, enough to feed several meals...
After struggling again and again, Aunt Gu was unwilling to give it back.
