Chapter 174 Aren’t You Happy with a Wife, Children and a Warm Bed?

Bai Naihan is really amazing. He never returns empty-handed when he takes An An, a little burden, to hunt wild animals.

He either carries a wild rabbit or a pheasant, and sometimes he can even encounter wild ducks.

The family is also very low-key. The prey hunted by Bai Naihan is placed in a backpack and covered with rags, so that no one can see it, otherwise it will easily arouse jealousy.

An An is also a smart guy. Some men in the village saw that the uncle and nephew often went up the mountain, so they guessed that they must have hunted something good. For a while, many men also went up the mountain to hunt.

Unfortunately, they were all inexperienced and didn't hunt anything at all. For several days in a row, only one person was lucky enough to hunt a wild rabbit, but the others were a little discouraged. Some men with little thoughts took some food to tease An An, and asked him in a roundabout way what his uncle hunted and where he hunted it.

An An pretended to be ignorant, took the food, and then blinked his big eyes and said, "My uncle didn't hunt anything, but he found a lot of wild fruits for me, so delicious!"

The man who asked him: "..."

Somewhat speechless, is he asking about wild fruits?

I was a little angry at this kid, not only did he not say any useful information, but he also took away the food he gave.

However, with this inquiry, the villagers were relieved, thinking that Bai Naihan must not have hunted anything, but he was just bored at home in this winter, so he took his little nephew to the mountain to kill time.

I still complained in my heart, isn't it happy to stay at home in such a cold day, and the wife and children are not happy? Running up the mountain to blow the cold wind is also a problem with the brain.

No matter what others think, Bai Naihan still goes to the mountain every day.

Sometimes, if he doesn't go to the deep mountains, he will take An An with him. If he goes to the deep mountains, he will go alone. When he comes back, he will have more or less gains. Now he is more low-key. Every time he comes back, he will carry a few bundles of firewood, which makes people simply think that he is just going to find firewood.

Those villagers who wanted to go hunting in the mountains at first gradually stopped going after they had no harvest or very little harvest for many days.

Later, no one went.

In winter, the villagers became much lazier and stayed at home, except for visiting friends at noon when the sun came out.

Many families stayed at home during the winter and did not work much. In order to save food, they only ate two meals.

The Bai family was very hardworking. Even when Yun Qinghuan hid in the house to write manuscripts and read books, he did not stop reading and working even though his hands and feet were cold.

At this moment, she was reading a book. Seeing the man carrying a backpack and going out again, she quickly put down the book and followed him out. She gave him the food and military canteen she had prepared for him, "Are you going up the mountain today too?"

"Yes. The man nodded and took the food, his eyes full of tenderness.

He usually spends most of the day up the mountain. There is not much to eat on the mountain. Yun Qinghuan is afraid that he will be hungry or cold, so she always prepares hot porridge for him and puts it in the military canteen for him to drink. She also makes meat patties and wraps them in thick cotton wool for him to take with him.

The hot patties are pasted on the ground. The body can be kept warm for two or three hours without any problem.

It is much better than the dry food that is hard to swallow.

Why do some men in the village not last long after going up the mountain for a few days? In addition to not hunting anything, another reason is that they are cold and hungry after staying for a long time and can't stand it.

Like Bai Naihan, wearing a military coat, drinking hot porridge and eating a meaty pancake when hungry, it is very delicious, how can he not stand it.

"I want to get some prey while it's not snowing. It will take three or four months for the weather to warm up in the spring next year. ”

It’s not easy to eat meat in winter. It’s not convenient to go to town to buy meat in such a cold weather. Moreover, Yun Qinghuan has just discovered that even if you have money and meat coupons, you may not be able to buy meat. The pork in town is limited every day. If you go too late, you can’t even buy meat scraps.

Also, even if everyone has money and meat coupons, they can’t buy too much.

So, if you want to eat meat, you have to have some skills.

The family has been well fed during this period. If they suddenly don’t eat meat during the winter, they will definitely not be able to get used to it.

Fortunately, Bai Naihan said that he can hunt and go up the mountain to hunt some wild animals from time to time, so the family’s living standard has not declined.

A lot of processed pheasants and rabbits have been hung under the eaves, a whole row, the number is considerable, it feels good to eat It won't be a problem after the New Year.

In this freezing weather, there are icicles on the eaves in the morning. Wild animals pickled with salt can be frozen outside and stored for a long time.

Fortunately, there are few people visiting in winter, so no one sees so many wild animals, otherwise they will definitely be surprised and stare.

But these wild animals can't be hung under the eaves all the time. My mother-in-law said that in two days, when these things are frozen more solid, they will be packed up and put in the kitchen cabinet, locked up and eaten slowly.

Yun Qinghuan smiled when he heard what he said, and advised, "Then don't go too deep into the mountains. In this cold weather, I'm afraid some wild animals that have nothing to eat will go down the mountain to find food. It's too dangerous. Besides, these pheasants and rabbits at home are enough for us to eat until next spring, so you don't have to work too hard."

The man smiled and nodded, "I know my limits, don't worry, go into the house quickly, it's very cold outside, I'll burn some firewood in the fire wall later, it will be warmer, you can stay in the house if you have nothing to do. "

He felt sweet in his heart, thinking that his wife cared about him. He naturally cherished his life. He had such a good wife, and she had not accepted him yet. He was reluctant to die.

Yun Qinghuan felt warm at heart when she heard him say that, because she was afraid of the cold, the man did not say anything and directly asked the villagers to build a fire wall, near the wall of the bed, just in time to build a fire wall for the mother-in-law's room.

Now An An consciously went to sleep in the same room with her mother-in-law. With the fire wall, although it consumes more firewood, once it is burning, the whole room is warm and people are reluctant to go out.

Fortunately, their family is not lazy, and the firewood is piled very high, so they can use it as much as they want, and it can be used until the beginning of spring.

Yun Qinghuan was a little worried at first. This place is neither south nor north, and it is more northerly. There is no kang or fire wall. In winter, it is minus ten degrees Celsius. You have to bear it by yourself, even if she made two large quilts, one for her mother-in-law and one for this room.

She and Bai Naihan still sleep in two quilt tubes, and the new quilt is placed on top of the two quilt tubes.

Although the man has good physical fitness, the old quilt looks too thin and is really not very warm.

But in this way, although the two people sleep in two quilts, they are not as far apart as at the beginning.

Yun Qinghuan was not used to it at first, but now he feels that the other party is like a stove, and even his quilt is warm, so he is used to it.

He also made a set of cotton clothes and trousers for everyone in the family, stuffed with a lot of cotton.

Although he has made all the preparations, he is still afraid of the cold.

The man knew about it and spent money to find someone to build a firewall without saying a word. Now it is not so cold to write manuscripts or read books in the house.
