"I won't sell the wolf skin. Please help Brother Xue knead the wolf skin tube for me."
Although three wolf skins can be sold for 3 yuan, Xue Ming still wants to keep them to make fur coats for his family. The winter is very cold now.
Xue Jianping thought carefully for half a minute, "Knead 3 tubes, you give me 15 yuan, and I will knead it for you overnight to ensure that it will not deteriorate in 100 years."
It was a bit expensive. Xue Ming took out the male wolf skin that Battle had kneaded from the space and handed it to him. "If the tube you knead is up to par, I can give you 15 yuan."
Xue Jianping's eyes lit up. The more he looked at it, the more shocked he became. "This is a master. If you come to our tannery factory as at least a third-level worker, you can get a salary of 45 yuan. This package will sell for at least 60 yuan."
"Oh?"
Xue Jianping smiled and said, "I am also a third-level worker, but I only get 42 yuan a month if I don't have enough service."
"That's quite a lot." Today's workers are indeed much better paid than farmers. Farmers can't earn much money even after working hard for a year.
Xue Jianping's working routine is the same as Battle's. He first uses a scraper to scrape off the meat fibers from the wolf's skin, and then uses the wolf's brain to soften the skin. The whole process is tiring and requires skills, so it is impossible for ordinary people to do it.
Three wolf skins needed to be kneaded all night, so Xue Ming could only stay overnight. When he saw Xue Daxia steaming cornmeal steamed buns, he took out 4 white flour steamed buns and gave them to her. It is necessary to prepare some gifts when visiting other people's homes.
Her family’s living conditions are indeed not bad. Xue Ming’s staple food is sweet potato and wild vegetable soup, and her family’s staple food is fried potatoes with cornmeal.
Suddenly, Xue Ming had an idea. Xue Jianping was a widower and my mother was a widow. Comrade Jianping also happened to be named Xue. It was not impossible for the two families to form a big family.
Thinking of this, Xue Ming casually said, "Uncle Xue's conditions are good. There should be many people who can introduce you to someone. Have you ever considered starting a big family again?"
"I won't consider it for now." Xue Jianping didn't understand why the person who had been calling him Brother Xue suddenly changed his name to Uncle Xue. "The children at home are too young. Let's wait a few years before considering it."
Xue Ming stopped talking because he was worried that his stepmother would abuse his daughter.After thinking about it carefully, I decided to forget it. As a child, you shouldn't worry about your mother's personal affairs. She can find her own feelings.
I left Xue's house and went to Zhou Yong's house to deliver the steel scale. I took away 5 yuan and two pounds of milk stamps, and decided to go to the supply and marketing cooperative tomorrow to buy a scale. I will be inseparable from the scale when I sell meat frequently in the future.
Find a deserted place and enter the space. The little donkey strides up to its owner and licks his hand.
Xue Ming poured milk into the bottle and fed it. The cute little donkey raised its head and bit the bottle.
After feeding the little donkey, Xue Ming began to count the money. Three wolves were sold for 3 yuan and 50 pounds of milk stamps. He smiled and touched the donkey's head. "In order to raise this little guy like you, I sold my wolf for a lot less money. Remember this in the future." Repay me."
The little donkey lay next to its owner and continued to lick his hands cutely. After licking for a while, he stretched out his head to drink the spiritual spring water.
The weather in the space is synchronized with the outside. Now that the sun is setting in the west, Xue Ming can't help but think of his grandma. It's 8 miles from Liu Village to Zhao Village. I wonder if she has seen my mother.
At Xue Ming's house in Zhaocun, Guo Xiuhua walked slowly into the yard with a cane. She walked and stopped all afternoon and finally arrived at her little girl's house.
"Grandma!" Xue Qing and Xue Min ran over to help Guo Xiuhua. Xue Ling turned to the main room and shouted, "Mom, my grandma is here."
"Mom, why are you here?" Liu Yue'e hurried out and helped the old lady into the house, and her heart skipped a beat when she saw the old lady holding clothes in her hand.
Guo Xiuhua took out two wild eggs and told the story of how Xue Ming borrowed the chicken bus and how she was kicked out of the house by her second daughter-in-law. She burst into tears at the end.
"She, Han Pandi, is nothing!" Liu Yue'e was furious. "Mom, you can live here with peace of mind. I won't let you go hungry as long as I have a bite to eat."
Guo Xiuhua felt uncomfortable and looked up at Xue Ming's room, "Where's Da Mingzi? He hasn't gone home yet?"
"Mom, don't worry, Ming is getting more and more capable." Liu Yue'e suddenly sighed at this, "It's just that his heart is getting wilder and wilder, and I can't control him anymore."
"That's what boys should be like. If they get a wife in two years, they'll be relieved. I'll take care of it." Guo Xiuhua looked pleased.
The mother and daughter sat together and had a heart-to-heart talk. Xue Ling went to the kitchen to cook. The three little brothers and sisters were playing in the yard. Suddenly, the big yellow dog walked slowly into the yard and scared the three little brothers and sisters.
Xue Qing, the most daring one, picked up a tile and threw it over, almost hitting Dahuang. Guo Xiuhua quickly stopped him, "Xiao Qingzi, don't hit it, this yellow dog is human."
Dahuang walked to Xue Ming's bedroom door and lay down, sticking out his tongue and wagging his tail, looking harmless.
Guo Xiuhua introduced Rhubarb, "It followed me all the way. It walked when I walked and stopped when I stopped. On the road, a long worm emerged from the sorghum field and crawled to my feet. The big dog bit the long worm to death."
Rhubarb was said to be magical, which made Liu Yue'e feel a little embarrassed. There were not many old and weak women and children in the family who had a guard dog, but how could they keep a dog if they didn't have enough to eat?
Guo Xiuhua knew that her daughter was in trouble, so she whispered, "I think this dog is destined to our family. When Daming comes back, ask him what he means. If he doesn't want to keep it, he will give it away."
In the space, Xue Ming fed the little donkey four more times. This little guy was so good at eating that he drank up a pound of milk. He will go to the Sichuan University Dairy Farm to change the milk tomorrow.
I left the space and came to Xue Jianping's house. Xue Jianping was drying the wolf skin in the yard. It was scary to see the green smoke coming in from the wolf's butt and coming out from the wolf's mouth.
"Dad, Brother Daming, it's time to eat." Daxia and Erxia brought out a small table. There were yellow cornmeal buns and white wheat buns in the steamed bun basket, and fried wolf meat with shredded potatoes on the plate.
The four of them were eating around the table. Xue Ming put a piece of wolf meat into his mouth with chopsticks. It was a bit fishy and hard, not as tasty as pork, and there was not a drop of oil in the dish, only salt.
Xue Jianping ate meat and vegetables while Daxia and Erxia ate shredded potatoes without eating meat. Xue Ming gave each of them a chopstick and said, "Eat more meat. You are growing in shape."
The two girls were flattered. These days, no matter in the city or in the countryside, the priority is to feed the adults. If there is good food, the adults eat it because they have to do heavy work.
"Daxia Erxia, let your stomach go and eat." Xue Jianping finished speaking and picked up another steamed bun. Only after eating a full meal would he have the strength to work.
After dinner, the two girls went to wash the pots and dishes. Xue Ming asked Xue Jianping, "Uncle Jianping should be able to make leather clothes and pants, right?"
Xue Jianping nodded, and Xue Ming added, "How long does it take to make a leather coat for my mother and grandma at my house?"
"It's a little early to make leather clothes." Xue Jianping continued to suggest, "It's better to sell the wolf skins. The current price is much higher than in previous years. I can introduce you to a big buyer."
Xue Ming fell into deep thought. It is indeed too early to prepare cotton-padded clothes in May. It is better to sell wolf skins and buy more food. "Uncle Jianping, how big is the big buyer you said? Is it reliable?"
