Siheyuan: Garbage King

Compared with the children of later generations who grew up in honey pots, the children of this era truly grew up "free range".

Without milk powder, fruits and rich protein nutrition, and only an occasional bite of eggs, this is the best life for Li Fang and his three younger brothers and sisters.

The weather has been cold these days, and Lao Si Qin Xiaohe was a little bit cold. There were always two snot hanging on his dry little face, like two big rivers.

Fortunately, these days, the children are all healthy. Zhang Yurong touched his youngest son's head and found that he didn't have a fever, so he asked Qin Xiaomei, the second child, to bring him a bowl of stick noodle porridge, and he drank it while feeding his younger brother.

Qin Xiaomei walked to the stove obediently and looked at the eggs hidden beside Zhang Yurong eagerly. Seeing that her mother ignored her, she left aggrievedly.

The egg was secretly taken from the pheasant nest on the mountain when Qin Dashun was still alive.

As the only labor force in the family, Zhang Yurong only gave Qin Dashun pickled eggs to eat to supplement her nutrition every time when her husband was very tired.

Children like Li Fang and others do not receive such treatment.

However, Qin Dashun loved several children, and every time when Zhang Yurong wasn't paying attention, he would take a bite out of some of them, and only a tiny bit would get into his mouth.

Zhang Yurong is not cruel. She certainly hopes that her children will be well fed, but the situation is so difficult.

Although Qin Dashun is a hunter, now whether it is a tree, a grass seed, a rabbit or other prey, it is owned by the state. When he can catch the prey, the village brigade organizes clearing the mountain, or he wants to sell it to the purchasing station.

In order to earn some extra money, he entrusted hunters like Qin Dashun to go hunting in the mountains.

At that time, Li Fang and others could also take advantage of the situation and get some oil and water.

However, the quantity and quality of prey in the mountains on the outskirts of the capital were far inferior to those in the Northeast. When Qin Dashun was alive, he often said that if he could rely on his own abilities in that place, his family would definitely live a better life.

Zhang Yurong knew that his youngest son was sick, so he deliberately served it thicker and gave him half a piece of steamed bun.

Qin Xiaohe was young and had weak teeth. In order for his brother to be able to swallow it, Qin Xiaomei chewed it up and fed it into his brother's mouth bit by bit.

Li Fang looked at this scene and couldn't help laughing. Although it was unhygienic, in this era, he couldn't control so much.

After all, Qin Xiaohe eats these "imported" steamed buns deliciously, so as the eldest brother, he won't stop him.

After eating a bowl of porridge and half a piece of steamed bun, Li Fang wrapped himself in his sheepskin jacket and went out.

These days, all the wild vegetables on the hillside have been harvested. Qin Xiaomei and the others have not learned anything, so they can only follow Zhang Yurong to clean up the house at home.

Li Fang stopped studying after finishing elementary school. He usually worked on the farm with Qin Dashun, earning half an adult's work points.

Qin Xiaomei, on the other hand, is ten years old and has not studied since she reached the third grade of elementary school.

Firstly, there were many children in the family and she needed to take care of her younger siblings. Secondly, the family could not afford the support and Qin Xiaomei was sensible, so she did not study anymore.

However, Li Fang still wanted to wait until conditions were better for Qin Xiaomei to pick up books again. Even if the school could not be opened, he had to find a way for his younger brothers and sisters to learn knowledge.

After all, after this special period has passed, young people still have to take the college entrance examination. Knowledge is the real wealth.

Qin Xiaomei was only in her twenties at that time, so she had just enough time.

He exhaled, there were still many things he needed to do.

...

"Fangzi, Fangzi, this way..." Down the hillside, a young man about the same age as Li Fang shouted enthusiastically to Li Fang with a big mouth.

The young man had a dark face and a round face. He was holding a rabbit in his arms. The rabbit had shiny fur and he was looking around with his eyes open.

This is Qin Jianjun, the eldest son of Qin Dashun's fifth brother and Qin Dashun's nephew.

Li Fang smiled and walked forward: "Hey, Jianjun, where did the rabbit come from?"

Qin Jianjun is only two months older than Li Fang, so the two of them do not call each other brothers, they call each other by their first names.

Qin Jianjun chuckled and boasted: "I went wandering in the mountains that day, and this rabbit hit a tree stump. Hey, I picked it up."

Li Fang yelled.

This was the real-life version of sitting back and waiting. He looked at Qin Jianjun with strange eyes, wondering if this guy would become the second fool.

Unexpectedly, Qin Jianjun said: "I plan to raise this rabbit. Two, two, and four will be born in a lifetime. After a few years, I will have countless rabbits to eat."

Li Fang looked at Qin Jianjun's posture and didn't know whether he was telling a joke or the truth. Li Fang interrupted: "Jianjun, let's not say that this wild rabbit is difficult to raise. Besides, if you raise it, what will it eat? Today.

At this age, where can you find food for it?"

Qin Jianjun wanted to argue a few more words, but it was obvious that he understood what Li Fang said.

He also had a moment of fever.

"Fangzi, you are right. What should we do with this rabbit? Do you want to eat it?" Qin Jianjun looked at the rabbit fiercely. Obviously, the failure of his own plan to make a fortune was all blamed on this poor little white rabbit.

This wild rabbit seems to weigh at most four kilograms, which is considered an adult rabbit among wild rabbits.

It has nothing to eat in this winter and doesn't seem to have much oil or water.

What a poor bunny...

"Bake it and eat it." Li Fang chuckled, but he was not polite to Qin Jianjun.

If a rabbit can produce two kilograms of meat, then it is good, and the price of selling it is only one or two cents. It is better for two people to eat meat together. It is almost the Chinese New Year, the weather is cold, and it is very difficult to have no fat or water in the stomach.

Qin Jianjun readily agreed.

Li Fang didn't feel embarrassed that he was taking advantage of others. After all, Qin Dashun and his fifth brother Qin Darong usually had the best relationship, and the two families always enjoyed each other's friendship no matter what delicious food they had.

Qin Jianjun was a ruthless man. He took out the tool from his pocket and skinned the rabbit in the snow with a few clicks.

It was cold and windy outside and they couldn't start a fire. Qin Jianjun and Li Fang found a sheltered place, broke off branches and invited the rabbit up.

This rabbit meat has a nourishing effect, so the two of them didn't dare to eat more, after all, there were still people at home.

Qin Jianjun found a branch, skewered the remaining rabbit meat, and cut it in half.

But Li Fang obviously saw how much meat Qin Jianjun gave him.

"Thank you, Jianjun." Li Fang grinned.

Qin Jianjun bared his big white teeth and laughed, and then said: "Your boy will go to the city to work as a worker in a few days, but don't forget your brother."

Li Fang cheered: "You're not a bad boy, you're already looking for a wife."

Qin Jianjun is the only son in his family, and his grandfather is also the production team leader of Liujiazhuang next door. This boy's life is definitely better than that of Li Fang.

Therefore, when Qin Jianjun was a child, he was engaged to be married to someone who was his third aunt's niece, who also lived in Liujiazhuang.

Li Fang once accompanied Qin Jianjun to meet the girl. She had two shiny hemp braids and looked like the kind of honest girl who was hard-working and simple.

When Qin Jianjun heard the words "daughter-in-law", he grinned almost to the corner of his mouth and said happily: "After the New Year, come out of the first month to drink my wedding wine. In another year, let your sister-in-law give me a big fat baby

Boy, you will be my godfather."

Li Fang smiled and said: "When my nephew grows up, we will take him to hug the rabbit."

Qin Jianjun laughed loudly: "Okay. By the way, my father asked you to go to his place when you have time."

Li Fang snorted.

After Qin Dashun's death, he had not been to Qin Darong's place. He should go there.

The two took the remaining rabbit back home.

Poor bunny...

The meat is quite fragrant.

Li Fang smacked his lips and sighed.
