Siheyuan: I Raised Ten Thousand Wild Boars

Time flies, and several months have passed in the blink of an eye.

The streets were covered in white. The cold wind howled in the alleys, blowing on people's faces, causing pain like being pricked by wheat spikes.

Today is the 20th day of the twelfth lunar month, and Li Guohua got off the jeep listlessly.

Don't get me wrong, the canopy was added months ago. He was worried about the textile factory.

It started snowing in October last year, and it has been snowing on and off for more than twenty days until today.

As expected, Chaoyang Farm suffered a sharp drop in production. More than half of the chickens and ducks died, and those that survived were killed. The more than 100 acres of vegetable fields could not even supply the Ministry of Light Industry normally.

I heard that Song Chengye had been sent to a labor camp, and the department is now in chaos.

The disaster was raging over there, and the textile factories were having a hard time too. Because of the severity of the disaster, many factories had run out of food.

Director Wang was afraid that people would starve to death, so he borrowed some money from the east and asked for some support from the west, and finally spent all the stock on the farm.

As a result, they had no food to eat, so they could only mix wheat bran and wheat bran into the steamed buns, and fill the dumplings with chopped beet residue.

Later, all the refined grains were eaten up, and only corn flour was left. Nan Yi thought of a way to make steamed cakes with corn flour and bean flour. This cake was quite filling, thick and firm, but if you eat too much, you won't have to go to the toilet for several days.

Now even corn flour and bean flour are out of stock, so the canteen can only chop up vegetable leaves, radish leaves, and green onions with roots, sprinkle a little flour on them, and make vegetable dumplings.

It’s hard to describe how disgusting these vegetable dumplings are. Normal people would lose their appetite after smelling them, but if they don’t eat them, they won’t have any food, so everyone had no choice but to eat them.

It is snowing heavily now, and there is no way to grow crops. Li Guohua is now in a stage of going crazy again.

"Squeak! Squeak!"

The sound of footsteps on snow came from behind.

Li Guohua turned around curiously and saw a woman wrapped tightly, walking straight towards him.

"what!"

The woman didn't notice there was someone in front of her, and in trying to avoid him, she slipped and fell to the ground, getting badly hurt.

"Qin Huairu?" Li Guohua asked sternly.

Because several potatoes rolled out from Qin Huairu's clothes. There was no need to guess, they must have been stolen from the farm.

"Guohua, please let me go. I really can't go home anymore!" Qin Huairu quickly hugged Li Guohua's thighs and started crying.

She was not afraid of going to the street to study, but what she was most afraid of now was being fired from the farm and not being able to get food in the future.

"Pick it up!" Li Guohua said with some reluctance.

In the face of life and death, stealing is no big deal.

"Thank you Guohua, thank you Guohua, your sister-in-law will be grateful to you for the rest of her life!" Qin Huairu was so sad and happy that she didn't know whether to cry or laugh.

But he still did it sincerely and quickly stuffed the potatoes on the ground back into his clothes.

"Did anyone else take it too?" Li Guohua asked after a moment's thought.

Qin Huairu was stunned for a moment and decided not to say anything. When they knew it was her who said that, they would probably cause trouble for her.

"Um"

Qin Huairu nodded.

She couldn't care about so many things now, let's die together.

Forget it, I asked them to go to the farm to help them. I just didn't expect that I would leave so quickly that the subsequent plans could not be implemented.

When he got home, the whole family sat around the big table, staring at each other, waiting for dinner.

"It's getting dark, what are you still waiting for me for? Eat!" Li Guohua touched Damao's hair and asked helplessly.

Fortunately, my father Li Chuwu knew carpentry and made such a large square table, otherwise there would not be enough space for more than a dozen people of different sizes to sit.

"Second brother, where is the lunch box?" The shameless little Camellia was the first to come up and touch his arms.

The food at home was not much better than that at other homes. The two egg-laying chickens were stewed into chicken soup and eaten by everyone.

"Okay, don't touch me, don't touch me, my second brother is ticklish. No matter who I starve, I won't let you, a greedy little cat, get hungry!"

Li Guohua took out a big lunch box from his arms like a magic trick, and all the little ones cheered immediately.

I opened the big lunch box and it was filled with pieces of soy sauce meat, alternating between fat and lean, and shiny with oil. Just looking at it made me drool.

This is a southern cooking method from the previous life. It can be eaten hot or cold, and is rich in oil and water, making it the best "tonic".

The little guys suddenly became quiet and stared at the meat with soy sauce without blinking their eyes.

Mr. and Mrs. Li smiled with satisfaction. These two kids are really capable. The family will never go hungry.

The eldest brother and his wife stared at the meat with soy sauce and swallowed hard, especially Yu Li. Since the disaster, she felt that she seemed to have gained a little weight.

The young wife is much better. Whatever she wants to eat recently, Li Guohua brings it to her. She is simply in a honey nest.

Camellia was the first to take action. She picked up the fattest piece, took a bite of the meat, and drank a sip of corn porridge. It was so delicious.

Zhao Yunmei's case was even more exaggerated. She was small and not strong enough, so she just picked it up with her little hands and started chewing it. Soon her mouth was full of oil, but she was still saying it was delicious.

Adults eat much better, chewing their food slowly and carefully, for fear of wasting even a drop of food.

"Da Mao, eat!" Mother Chen Lan saw Da Mao sitting next to her drinking porridge but not eating meat, and thought he was not feeling well.

Speaking of these children, after coming to the Li family, they rushed to clean, help with housework, and called grandpa and grandma one after another. It can be said how much Chen Lan and Li Chuwu liked them.

To be frank, these little guys were more sensible than Li Guohua and Li Guoliang when they were young.

"I miss my mother. She has never eaten such delicious meat!" Damao said pitifully.

"Oh, poor child!" Zhao Yunxia was full of maternal love at this moment.

She also heard Li Guohua talk about Liang Ladi, whose husband died and she was left alone to raise four children. In order to raise four children, she studied hard and became the only level 5 welder in the machine repair factory, which made Zhao Yunxia admire her.

Later, when disaster struck and the family could no longer afford to feed the pet, Li Guohua picked it up and raised it. Zhao Yunxia also agreed.

"Don't cry, your mother is living so comfortably without you here!"

"Really?" Ermao asked.

"That's not true. Without the four of you, she can eat the meals for five people every day, and no one bothers her. She wants four dishes for her birthday!" Li Guohua started to deceive.

It is impossible to feed five people, but with the food I have left, it is no problem to get enough to eat.

"Ah, how could Mom do that!" Xiu'er was immediately dissatisfied and said that it was her who wanted four dishes on her birthday.

"So you should eat more and grow up quickly, and help your uncle ask your mother for child support in the future!" Li Guohua said with ill intention.

"Well, uncle, when I grow up, I will make money for you, not for my mother!" Xiu'er believed it.

"Uncle, we will support you too!"

"And there's me. I'll take care of you in your old age when I grow up. And there's Grandpa Li and Grandma Li!" Fang Fang and Fang Hua were unwilling to be left behind.

"Haha, Xiu'er is so good, you guys too, give each of you another piece of meat so you can grow up quickly!"

Seeing that the little guys were so easy to fool, Li Guohua burst into laughter.

The adults also started laughing, but Camellia remained silent.

My second brother is such a liar. He tells me every day that there is no food at home and I should eat less. But in the end, I can't finish the food no matter how much I eat. I won't fall for his trick and I should eat more meat quickly.
