Back To Qiqi Farming To Raise Children

Chapter 62 Xu Shi'an

In the evening, I ate wild boar bone soup stewed with sauerkraut and shredded pork.

Su Anying is still very good at cooking. Oil is refined in a big pot here, and a small pot is placed on the stove, and pork bones and pork are stewed in it.

When the oil is refined and ready to be served, stir-fry the shredded sauerkraut in the pan, then add bone broth and stew slowly.

The wild pork is cooked with various seasonings, and it is torn apart by hand after a little cooling.

Add some onion shreds, chili shreds, salt and other seasonings, cook with a little hot oil, and the aroma will come out immediately.

This means that now that there is no shortage of oil to eat, Su Anying dares to cook so extravagantly. If it was before, she wouldn't even dare to think about it.

After the meal was ready, it was already dark outside. The couple lit the kerosene lamp and ate dinner happily.

After dinner, Xu Shiyan still went for a stroll around the venue, and there was nothing abnormal around him, so he came back to rest in peace.

Wait until midnight to go out and wander around, and then I feel dawn.

Most of the first snow cannot stand. As the temperature rises, the snow will melt when the sun shines during the day.

In the morning and evening, the temperature drops, and a hard layer is frozen.

The work in the ginseng field was not finished yet, and while it was freezing in the morning, the young people in the team came up the mountain again.

Third, in a few days the food will be distributed in the team. My father asked me to ask you, where do you put the food for the two of you?

Xu Shixiang was going to take the college entrance examination and stayed at home to review his homework. This time it was Xu Shian who came to work on the mountain.

As soon as Xu Shi'an saw his younger brother, he asked directly.

Generally speaking, the agricultural team settles the year's work points at the beginning of winter every year, and then everyone uses the work points to convert food and money.

In addition to the food crops such as corn and beans, the big house also grows ginseng.

So every year at the beginning of winter, the food is distributed first, and the processed ginseng is all sold, and the money is distributed again.

When the family was separated, it was made very clear that the work points Xu Shiyan earned before belonged to him.

After Su Anying got married, she also went to work to earn work points, and now that the two of them are still watching ginseng on the mountain, it is estimated that their work points can be exchanged for a lot of food and money.

Let's put the food at home first. Yingzi and I live on the mountain now, and there is no place to put too much food.

Xu Shiyan pondered for a while, and felt that it would be safer to leave it at home.

Although my father is not forgiving, he is not greedy for that little food.

Mrs. Li stayed with him all the time, and there was no one to take care of him at home.

Okay, that's what my parents said too. Xu Shi'an was just passing on the message for his parents, and didn't care about the rest.

Come on, I'm going to work. I don't have enough pillars and poles for trekking. I have to go into the mountains to pick them up today.

What the locals say is picking is not really picking, but actually going into the forest to cut trees. The so-called gathering firewood means chopping firewood.

The pillar feet and the large joint poles are the supports of the ginseng shed.

On both sides of the large soil ridge in the ginseng ground, a column foot is smashed every ten feet, and a large joint pole is nailed to the top of the column foot, and then the mallet board can be laid.

Most of the mallet boards and Dalian poles can be used for two or three stubbles, but the end of the column foot is buried in the ground, and it will rot within three years, so every time a new mallet is planted, you have to go to the forest to pick up new ones.

In the future, it will be covered with plastic film, and more materials will be used. In addition to column feet and large joint poles, there are also crossarms, branch poles, bow strips, curtains, layering strips, and so on.

Therefore, ginseng production is an extremely cumbersome and material-intensive task. Regardless of making money from growing ginseng, it is actually really hard work.

Well, be careful when you go into the mountain. After the snow falls, wild beasts will come down the mountain, so be careful. Xu Shiyan had to ask a few words.

At this time, the wild boars are looking for food all over the mountain, and the black blind man is also making the final preparations before squatting in the warehouse, eating frantically, and it is easy to meet wild animals when entering the mountain.

Don't worry, there are so many people, we all have axes and saws.

I'm not afraid if I meet them. The big guys go up together, and they just eat meat after killing. Xu Shian waved his hand nonchalantly, turned around and left.

Seeing the back of his brother leaving in a hurry, Xu Shiyan couldn't help sighing.

The second elder brother of his family has always had an impatient temper since he was a child. No matter what he did, he felt that if he didn't finish it soon, it would be too late.

When his mother was still alive in his previous life, Xu Shiyan often heard the old lady sigh, saying that the second brother might be born with a short life.

Ever since he was a child, he has been able to do everything faster than others. Xu Shian can already crawl while other children can only sit up at six months old.

If one didn't see it, Xu Shi'an could climb onto the loom.

It was only eight and a half months, and Xu Shi'an could move a few steps, and after ten months, he could walk very firmly.

The old people say that it is not good for a child to leave too early, and the implication is wrong if you leave early.

In 1980, Xu Shi'an always suffered from stomach pains. He went to Quanyang No. 50 Hospital for examination and found that it was stomach cancer.

Stomach cancer, even after decades, has no good way to treat it.

Not to mention at the time, the only option was surgery to remove the tumor, and then the doctor came back with a box of medicine called cancer enemy.

The combination of surgery and drug control prolongs Xu Shian's life by five years.

In 1985, Xu Shi'an's stomach cancer recurred, and the tumor covered his entire stomach. The treatment failed and he died.

He left behind his wife Wei Mingrong, his two sons Xu Haibo and Xu Haitao, as well as more than a dozen houses, a large vegetable garden, and hundreds of feet of ginseng.

Within two months of Xu Shi'an's death, Wei Mingrong took his two sons and family property and remarried to a man surnamed Huang.

At the insistence of the Xu family, Wei Mingrong remarried and did not leave home, and Xu Haibo and Xu Haitao did not change their surnames.

The family property left by Xu Shi'an is also not wanted by the Xu family, it is given to the two children.

It's a pity that the brothers of Wei Mingrong's natal family are all prodigal sons, and they come here all day long to eat and drink.

Not to mention Xu Shian's family property, even the money brought by Lao Huang was ruined by these people.

What are you thinking? Standing here motionless?

The second brother came over just now, why didn't you tell him about the wild boar meat you brought home this afternoon?

Also, didn't you leave a pork belly yesterday and said it was for the second brother? Forgot to tell him?

Su Anying looked at her husband standing there motionless, with dazed eyes, and felt strange, so she poked Xu Shiyan's waist and asked him.

Second brother left so fast, I didn't even have time to say it. Xu Shiyan came back to his senses and shook his head.

Daughter-in-law, you can do me a favor later, put the wild boar belly on the tiles to dry, and I will give it to my second brother in the afternoon.

The folk remedies say that wild boar belly nourishes the stomach.

Wild boars eat everything and have a strong digestive ability, so some people think that wild boar belly must be good for the stomach if it complements the body.

Xu Shiyan didn't know whether it made sense or not, he was just doing his best.

The conflict between brothers is nothing more than a dispute over money and interests, and has nothing to do with anything else.

He couldn't just watch his elder brother have an accident, and he couldn't watch his two nephews lose their father at a young age.

So try all the methods you can think of, if it is really useful? After all, it is my brother's life.
