With the spiritual spring space, rebirth in the red era

The moonlight is brighter tonight, and the calls of wolves and owls can be heard from time to time on the road. There are cemeteries everywhere on the roadside.

Xue Ming held the gun and slowed down, carefully walked eight miles and finally arrived at Zhao Village.

As soon as he entered the village, he was caught by the patrol and pointed at several red-tasseled guns. "Who is it? Stop!"

It was the voice of the brigade party secretary Zhao Tian. Xue Ming hurriedly spoke, "I am Xue Ming. Uncle Zhao Tian, ​​I am Xue Ming."

All five militiamen recognized Xue Ming. Xue Dashan, the captain of the 14th team, laughed and scolded, "What are you doing, little bastard? Your mother is going crazy looking for you."

Xue Dashan is Xue Ming's uncle. Little bastard is a catchphrase of the villagers, but it is not a curse. Xue Ming scratched his head and said, "I went to Liu Village to go to the market and got lost."

"Look at your potential, you look like you've never been out in your life." Zhao Tian laughed and cursed before letting Xue Ming enter the village. He knew that Xue Ming was going to Liu Village to sell wolves, so he deliberately protected him.

When Xue Ming returned home, he found his second sister, Xue Ying, with his two younger brothers. Xue Ying cried when she saw her eldest brother, "Where have you been? You haven't been home to eat all day."

The three little ones all thought that their eldest brother had been snatched away by a wolf. The two younger brothers also hugged their thighs and cried, making Xue Ming lose his temper. "I'm going to the market to do some errands. Where is our mother?"

Before he finished speaking, a group of people came to the yard, including his mother Liu Yue'e and eldest sister Xue Ling, Zhao Tian's daughter-in-law Gu Cuihua, and the neighbor Zhao Erlei across the door.

Gu Cuihua began to scold, "When you go out to do errands and don't tell your family, it will make your mother worry. How will your mother live if you have something wrong with you?"

Zhao Erlei also said, "Da Ming, if you tell your mother when you go out to do errands in the future, what's going on if you just leave without saying a word?"

Liu Yue'e couldn't hold back her tears. A group of people quickly tried to persuade her, and Xue Ming quickly apologized. After half an hour of trying, he finally calmed her down.

After sending Gu Cuihua and others away and Xue Ming talking to her mother, Liu Yue'e sighed and said, "My child, your Uncle Lei is a good man. Please help his family more in the future."

Xue Ming nodded and told his mother not to sleep yet. He went back to the bedroom and took out the cloth. At this time, his mother's voice came from outside the door, "Are you asleep?"

"Not yet." Xue Ming covered the door with a sheet and opened the door. Liu Yue'e came in with a bowl of soup, "Let's have some soup."

There was a layer of oil floating in the soup, and some of the most annoying dried sweet potatoes were soaked in it. Xue Ming took a sip from the bowl and couldn't help but his eyes lit up, "Sheep soup? Dried sweet potatoes soaked in mutton soup?"

Liu Yue'e nodded, "You also know that the sheep of Erlei's family were killed by wolves. The supply and marketing cooperative only wanted the big ewes but not the lambs. He skinned the lambs and gave us a bowl of soup."

Hearing this, Xue Ming felt warm in his heart. Nowadays, people's stomachs are short of oil and water. Being able to give him a bowl of mutton soup is an incredible kindness. He is worthy of being his father's best friend during his lifetime.

Liu Yue'e turned around and sat on the bed, "Your Uncle Er Lei has nothing to say. Your Aunt Er Lei is born to be mean. For your uncle's sake, keep in touch with his family more in the future."

"I know." Xue Ming finished the mutton soup and dried sweet potatoes in one go, "Mom, close your eyes. I have a surprise for you."

"What kind of surprise do you want in the middle of the night? Go to bed quickly." Liu Yue'e said this but still covered her eyes with her hands.

Xue Ming opened the quilt and said, "You can let go now."

Liu Yue'e was stunned for two seconds when she saw Khajibu, and suddenly hugged her in her arms, "Kajib, Khajibu?"

He looked as lost as if he was holding his own child. After a moment, his eyes widened and he asked, "Where did you get the cloth?"

"Don't get excited. Listen to me first." Xue Ming began to tell the story. In the morning, he discovered that the evil wolf had entered the house to seek revenge. Then he borrowed Zhao Tian's gun and went to the forest to hunt the wolf. He killed the wolf and sold it at the Liucun market. Bought cloth.

After hearing this, Liu Yue'e jumped up holding the cloth, "You...you dare to go into the woods to hunt wolves. Do you want to piss me off?"

Xue Ming quickly made up a lie, "Last night when I was sleeping, I dreamed of my dad. He said that there was a wolf at home and told me not to go out. The wolf couldn't wait for me and killed Uncle Erlei's sheep."

Thinking of the deceased man Liu Yue'e shed tears again, and sat on the bed in a daze holding her beloved cloth.

Xue Ming felt a pain in his heart and continued to lie, "Fortunately, you didn't come out to use the bathroom yesterday. The wolf is very vindictive and will come to harm us. My dad asked me to kill it. I can only kill the wolf because of the blessing of my dad's spirit in heaven."

"Also," Xue Ming continued, "I found Sanwazi's head in the wolf's den. It was this wolf that ate Sanwazi."

"No wonder, no wonder..." Liu Yue'e murmured to herself, "No wonder Party Secretary Zhao Tian suddenly took care of me and transferred me to the brigade to do odd jobs for Wang Xiufen."

Wang Xiufen is the female captain of the brigade. Doing odd jobs with her is definitely easier than working in the fields. Xue Ming is gratified by Zhao Tian's kindness.

Liu Yue'e sighed, "Your father is right, wolves are very vengeful. Before liberation, Zhang Mazi in our village killed a female wolf with cubs. A few days later, the wolves came to his house and killed his whole family. The neighbor on the left They won’t bite the sheep on the right side of the house.”

"Let's talk about a light topic." Xue Ming pointed to the khaki cloth, "Is this 1 foot of fabric enough to make a new set of clothes for our family?"

"You kid can't carry it!" Liu Yue'e suddenly became very angry. "The money from selling wolves should be used to buy food first. The family is short of food but not short of clothes. How much money do you have left?"

"I still have 9 yuan. I bought 100 kilograms of sweet potatoes." Xue Ming pulled out the sack from under the bed and opened it. It was full of tiny sweet potatoes.

100 kilograms of sweet potatoes is enough to last for many days. The family has food and she is not worried. Liu Yue'e has a smile on her face, "3 feet of cloth can make a set of clothes for an adult, and 10 feet of cloth is enough to make new clothes for our whole family."

Xue Ming gave her 3 yuan, "Son, I will honor you and treat it as private money. I will go to the town to buy wheat tomorrow."

"If you don't buy wheat, buy corn. Wheat costs 3 cents and corn costs 2 cents." Liu Yue'e shook her head repeatedly, "I don't want the money, so you use it to buy corn."

Liu Yue'e returned the money to her son, "I don't understand anything. You are my backbone and you don't need to give me private money."

"Don't say that." Xue Ming was amused by her. Since he is the backbone, he should buy wheat. Cornmeal is too unpalatable.

The mother and son said a lot of thoughtful words, and the mother left happily holding the cloth, while Xue Ming lay on the bed and slept.

My mother's voice sounded outside the window again, "Let your Uncle Zhao Tian go to the market to buy corn with you another day. Your Uncle Erlei can do it too."

"I know, go to bed, and don't forget to make clothes for me." Xue Ming closed his eyes after saying that.

There was no market in Liu Village tomorrow and he wanted to go to the black market to find some good things, and sell the wolf skin if he had the chance.

I can only buy 30 kilograms of wheat with the money I have. Although I have 100 kilograms of sweet potatoes for emergencies, sweet potatoes are not nutritious and cannot be eaten regularly.

A three-year drought is coming. In order to survive, we must quickly stock up on enough wheat for a family of six to feed them for three years.

Xue Ming carefully calculated that an adult should eat at least 260 kilograms of wheat per year. Four younger siblings are equivalent to two adults. Therefore, the family must eat 1.04 tons of wheat every year, and they must store at least 3 tons of wheat to last for three years.

Now that there are only 100 kilograms of sweet potatoes at home, Xue Ming feels a lot of pressure. "It seems that I have to continue hunting in the mountains."

Decided to go to the black market tomorrow to find out the situation, and then go to the forest to complete the important task of supporting the family with a shotgun.
