I fought guerrilla warfare in the Yimeng Mountains during the Anti-Japanese War

Chen Weiping had a lot of farm work to do today. Not only did he have to dig sweet potatoes, but he also had to dry them and dry them in the sun. He went home for dinner after noon. When he saw the empty house, he was not worried, because he knew that the kid couldn't stay at home after his injury healed, and must have gone out to the wild. He prepared to fry some peanuts. During the busy farming season in autumn, his body ached all over, so he had to eat a little better, otherwise he could not cope with the tiring farm work. When he went to the main room to find raw peanuts, he suddenly saw that the hunting rifle hanging on the beam was missing. He slapped his thigh and thought, oh no, the kid went hunting, and he didn't care about frying peanuts. He hurried out to find him. It would be troublesome if he fainted in the mountains. Although there were no large wild animals such as tigers and black bears in the mountains, there were still wild boars and the like.

When he went out, he met Heiwa who came to play with Chen Feng, and said to Heiwa:

Your brother Feng secretly took a hunting rifle and went hunting. Do you know where he went?

Hei Wa shook his head. We don't usually go hunting in autumn! If it doesn't snow, we can't see rabbit footprints, so it's hard to find them.

Chen Weiping stopped talking and went to the mountains to look for him. Heiwa followed him quickly, thinking in his heart that it was really unkind of Feng Ge not to call him when he went hunting.

As soon as the two men arrived at the foot of the mountain behind the village, they saw Chen Feng carrying something down and hurried to meet him. Chen Feng saw his father and Heiwa coming, so he dropped the wild boar and panted heavily. He was exhausted, really exhausted.

Chen Weiping was jogging along the way. When he saw the wild boar under Cheng Hao's feet, he was both scared and distressed. He didn't bother to take care of the wild boar and hurriedly taught his son:

Why are you so disobedient? You dare to go into the mountains before your injury has fully healed. What if you faint in the mountains?

Chen Feng looked at his anxious father, secretly moved, and comforted his father:

Don't worry, Dad. I know the condition of my body well.

After saying that, he kicked the wild boar under his feet.

Do you see this big guy? Your son got it without any effort. How about it? We will have meat to eat during the Mid-Autumn Festival!

When Chen Weiping heard about eating meat, his face darkened. It had been a long time since his family bought meat. Although his son was injured and several chickens were killed, the chicken meat was too little oily. His son must be craving pork! He couldn't bear to blame Chen Feng anymore:

Okay, just this once. If you like hunting, wait until after the Mid-Autumn Festival. Take good care of yourself these few days and don’t go far.

Chen Feng agreed. It was almost time for him to rest. He refused the help of his father and Heiwa. He asked his father to take the hunting rifle and Heiwa to take the axe. They carried the wild boar and headed home. When they put the wild boar down at home, he couldn't help but discuss with his father:

We can't eat this whole pig, right? Should we kill it and pickle it, or keep some and sell the rest?

Chen Weiping looked at Chen Feng seriously:

Over the years, our neighbors have helped our family a lot. When you were a kid, you often went to the neighbors' houses to get food. Give half to several neighbors! Don't forget Dr. Yang's family. Keep some of the other half, just enough to eat. It would be a pity if it spoils after a long time. You can push the rest to Beizhuang to sell it tomorrow! Let Heiwa take you there, he knows the way.

Cheng Hao nodded silently. This is the simplicity of the countryside! I can't repay a favor, but I will never forget it. Once I have the opportunity, I will first think of repaying the favor.

Killing a pig was not a difficult task for Cheng Hao. After Chen Weiping had some food, he went to work in the fields again. Cheng Hao wanted to help, but he couldn't do it today. He had to kill the pig. The blood had been drained, so he found the kitchen knife and grindstone and sharpened both the axe and the kitchen knife. Heiwa also boiled a pot of hot water, put the hot water into two buckets and carried them out. He put the wild boar on a huge stone slab, and Heiwa poured the boiling water on it while Chen Feng scraped the bristles. When the two buckets of water were used up and the bristles were scraped clean, he asked Heiwa to continue boiling water. Chen Feng was outside gutting the wild boar. He was busy for an entire afternoon and divided the pork. He also gave some bones to each family. He kept the offal and half a pig's head for his own family. He put the cleaned large and small intestines and half a pig's head into the big pot, added water, and asked Heiwa to continue to make a fire. After a while, the fragrance wafted out and Heiwa was already drooling.

Chen Weiping came back and saw Chen Feng had distributed the pork. He was delivering meat to the villagers door to door. During the busy farming season, every household came back very late. The first household was Tian Heiwa's. The two families were not far away. Chen Weiping called out, "Are Fuli back?" and took Chen Feng directly into the house. Aunt Tian came out and looked at Chen Feng and his son, especially Chen Feng, who was holding a piece of meat, a piece of spare ribs and two pig's trotters in his hands, and asked in confusion:

You don’t raise pigs at home! Where did they come from?

Tian Fuli heard the noise and came out:

Xiaofeng, didn't Heiwa go to your house? I don't know where the kid ran off to. What are you doing?

Seeing that his father didn't speak, Chen Feng hurriedly said:

Don't worry, Uncle Tian! Heiwa is cooking at my house. We will have pig intestines and pig heads to eat soon. I won't be back for dinner tonight. This is a wild boar I shot today. It won't be kept for long, so I'll send you some food.

Aunt Tian looked back at her husband. She didn't dare to take the things without him saying anything. After all, these things were very valuable.

Tian Fuli looked at Chen Weiping:

Brother, what do you mean? Heiwa just needs to eat some meat there. You should take him to sell it tomorrow!

Chen Weiping then spoke:

Don't ask me to come and go. Xiaofeng has been an orphan since he was a child. He has eaten a lot in your house. When Aunt Tian cooks a good meal, she always invites Xiaofeng to come and eat. Keep it! There is some money during the busy farming season, which can help you work harder.

Seeing that Chen Weiping was serious, Tian Fuli stopped refusing and nodded to Aunt Tian, ​​then said to Chen Feng and his son:

Come in and sit down first. Let his aunt fry some chili pork, and we two brothers can have a drink.

Chen Weiping waved his hands quickly:

There is still a lot of work to do at home. Xiaofeng has almost forgotten everything about his past, and I still have to take him to deliver some meat to the neighbors.

After saying that, he turned around and left. Chen Feng politely said goodbye to the two of them and hurriedly followed.

Tian Fuli watched the father and son leave without saying anything. Aunt Tian couldn't help it:

Boss, do you think Xiaofeng has become more polite after being injured?

Tian Fuli glared at the gossiping woman:

Is it bad manners? The child must be more sensible now that he has grown up. Go and stir-fry some pork with peppers. I will also eat meat tonight. It has been a long time since I last ate pork.

Aunt Tian rolled her eyes at the head of the household.

No, you can’t do that. Save it for Heiwa.

Tian Fuli said angrily:

Heiwa needs your piece of meat, so he is cooking pig intestines at Xiaofeng's house. I don't think this kid will come back for three days. He has meat to eat at his brother Feng's house, so how can he come back and think about you?

After hearing this, Aunt Tian reluctantly agreed. She picked a bunch of peppers from the wall, took them back to the kitchen and started cooking.

Chen Feng came back pushing a small cart filled with pork and bones. The remaining residents lived far away from Chen Feng's home, and it would be too troublesome if he could not send them back to get them one by one. The two of them went to Doctor Yang's home first. Doctor Yang's family was all there. When they saw Chen Feng and his father carrying ten pounds of pork, ten pounds of ribs, and half a pig's head, they insisted on asking them to stay for dinner. After the two declined, they insisted on giving them money, but Chen Weiping refused to accept it. He had received so many favors from Doctor Yang, so what was the point of giving him money? Seeing that the two of them said they didn't want any money, Doctor Yang asked his wife to go into the house and get two bags of moon cakes, saying that they must accept them, otherwise he would have to pay. Chen Weiping saw that he couldn't refuse, so he let Chen Feng take it.

The remaining gifts from each family were simple, either a piece of pork, or a piece of pork and a few bones. After declining the invitations to come in for dinner, Chen Feng pushed the empty cart and followed his father back.

Suddenly, someone blocked their way ahead. The two looked carefully in the moonlight and saw that it seemed to be the landlord Liu, Liu Minggui.
