The three little guys who led the way reluctantly left. I guess they will miss the autumn of [-] for the rest of their lives, when the big brother riding on the colorful clouds gave them the most delicious bread.

The door of Pang's house was locked and no one was around. Xue Ming found a deserted place and entered the room. He tied the [-]-kilogram brown bear to a frame truck with hemp rope and covered it with several sacks.

It's not appropriate to be a guest without bringing gifts, so I went to the storage warehouse to pick out some small gifts, and I was surprised to find that the cheapest one was bulk grain wine that cost [-] cents a pound.

There were three jars in total, weighing four kilograms each. I put one jar in a sack and put it on a cart. I took the cart to the door of Pang's house and waited. I looked at my watch and it was two o'clock in the afternoon.

At almost four o'clock, a young woman came to the gate with a child in her arms. She had fair skin and a thin figure. Her clothes were shabby but clean, and she exuded a milky fragrance.

The child was at most one year old and was clean all over. A pair of big Kazilan eyes looked at Xue Ming curiously.

She was Pang Zhenkun's wife Han Yourong. She looked at Xue Ming, the truck and the door of her house in turn, "Comrade, are you okay?"

The voice turned out to be very gentle and nice. Xue Ming quickly took out the wine jar from the sack and said, "You must be Sister-in-law Pang. My name is Xue Ming, brother Pang Zhenkun's good friend."

"Uncle, come in quickly." Han Yourong immediately smiled. The young man in the suit was definitely not a poor friend. Unexpectedly, Pang Zhenkun had rich friends.

"Sister-in-law, please don't push, I can pull." Xue Ming stopped the woman who was bending over to push the cart. An old saying suddenly came to his mind, "A sea that is open to all rivers is tolerant."

"Zhenkun shot a big pig some time ago and followed the party secretary to the commune to exchange for food." Han Yourong held the child and took out the key from under the brick on the window sill to open the door.

There are many things in the main room. There are memorial tablets for ancestors in the living room, a large Chinese medicine cabinet on the east side, and a bedroom for a family of three on the west side. There is only one big bed in the bedroom.

Xue Ming chatted with her while looking at the Chinese medicine cabinet. Each drawer had the names of angelica, safflower and other medicinal materials written on it. He searched and searched but couldn't find the ginseng label.

"It's all empty inside. Private medical treatment was not allowed when the commune was established. Uncle, take a sip of water." Han Yourong brought over a large bowl of hot water.

"Thank you, sister-in-law. You can take care of the children and leave me alone." Xue Ming put the bowl on the dining table. The title "uncle" refers to brother-in-law, which always sounds weird.

At this time, Pang Zhenkun was pushing a trolley home with two bags of rice exchanged for wild boar meat. When he saw Xue Ming coming, he quickly put down the trolley and ran over with a smile.

"Brother Xue, I have been looking forward to the stars and the moon and finally you are here." Pang Zhenkun hugged Xue Ming with excitement on his face and glanced at Xue Ming's truck with the corner of his eye.

Xue Ming couldn't stand the enthusiasm and pushed him away with a smile, opening the sack on the car to reveal a huge and ferocious brown bear.

Holding the child, Han Yourong screamed in fright and hurriedly covered his mouth with his hands. The child in his arms almost fell to the ground.

Pang Zhenkun was both excited and anxious, "Baozhu, go and call the eldest brother and the others over. Be careful not to talk nonsense, and don't say it to others."

Han Yourong hugged the child and ran out of the house. Such a big bear should be able to exchange for a lot of food, and he would no longer have to worry about going hungry.

Pang Zhenkun asked Xue Ming to help pull the car to the main room, and together they loaded the big bear on the Pang family's frame truck.

Pang Zhenkun left Xue Ming at home and left alone. After a while, he came back with a pile of grass and hid the wild boar tightly with the grass.

After hiding the wild boar, Pang Zhenkun asked Xue Ming to move the big bed in the bedroom to one side, opened the secret compartment and took Xue Ming into the basement.

The smell of Chinese medicine assaulted my nostrils. There were many small grids made of wood in the small basement, which contained various herbal medicines.

"Brother Xue, you can't report me." Pang Zhenkun said in a half-joking tone. If you collect medicinal materials privately, you will be criticized, but everyone is hiding things these days.

"Eldest brother, not to mention second brother, I also hide some gadgets." Xue Ming exchanged food for many antiques, calligraphy and paintings when he went out to look for Li Chuanying.

Pang Zhenkun gave Xue Ming a thumbs up, took out the key and took out a box from a cabinet, opened the box and revealed two ginseng that looked like radish roots.

"Look, brother, these are the thousand-year-old and half-thousand-year-old ginseng passed down from my family. If it weren't for the fact that my family couldn't open the pot, I would never sell it." Pang Zhenkun stared at the box and rubbed it gently.

The ginseng has arms and legs and looks like a human. You can tell how old it is just by looking at its size. Xue Ming handed him a cigarette and said, "Brother Pang, tell me the truth, what do you want that bear for?"

"Do you even need to ask? Of course you go to the supply and marketing cooperative to exchange for food. Those bastards don't know thousand-year-old ginseng, they only know wild boars and bears." Pang Zhenkun rubbed his hands and swallowed.

"How much food do you want to exchange for?" Xue Ming instantly felt like he was screwed. There were more than [-] kilograms of wheat in the space. If he had known that he wanted food, why would he bother to fight?

"Such a big bear must give me three thousand kilograms of grain. These two ginseng roots were left by my father to the three of us brothers. By then, the family will have one thousand kilograms of grain." Pang Zhenkun said.

Xue Ming suddenly became interested, "The baby belongs to you three brothers. Your two brothers can rest assured that you can keep it alone."

"Then there's nothing to worry about. Neither of them have mastered the old man's medical skills. The old man's will was left to me to keep. It was our brother's agreement to exchange treasures for food."

The total value of a thousand catties of brown bears is about the same as that of three thousand catties of wheat, but Xue Ming has plenty of grain, so he wants the brown bears.

After thinking carefully for a moment, he grabbed a handful of wheat from his school bag and said, "Give me the bear bones, bear bile and bear skin. You can handle the bear meat yourself. I will give you two thousand kilograms of this wheat."

Pang Zhenkun stared at the special grain in his hand, "God, do you have grain? Why didn't you tell me earlier? Why didn't you bother telling me earlier? Can't I just exchange ginseng for grain?"

"What the hell, you didn't even ask me. You guys kill the bear and skin it for me. I'll get you some food soon." Xue Ming said goodbye without bothering to talk nonsense anymore.

Pang Zhenkun sent Xue Ming away and kept chattering, "Food is very expensive now. God, who dares to believe that you can take out two thousand kilograms at once."

The Pang family did not suffer from this transaction. There was no problem in exchanging the bear meat for one thousand kilograms of grain. Overall, it was still three thousand kilograms.

Xue Ming found a deserted place to enter the space, packed ten bags of wheat and loaded them on the rack truck. Each bag weighed [-] kilograms, exactly [-] kilograms.

At dusk, we pulled the cart to Pang's house. The Pang brothers were busy removing the meat from the bear and found a complete bear skin that had been peeled off.

The three brothers were moved to tears by Xue Mingjun's special supply of food. Pang Zhenkun grabbed Xue Ming's hand tightly and said, "Didn't you give me three kilograms of liquor? I'll ask my wife to roast bear meat for us tonight. The four brothers finish the three kilograms of wine."

Xue Ming laughed, "It's okay to drink, but my wine may not be very good. You can't blame me if something happens."

"What could happen? From now on, we are brothers, and my family is your family." Pang Zhenkun was so excited about the food that he danced.
