Siheyuan, I want to lie down but I become a tool

My second aunt's family usually had corn porridge, which was better than my eldest aunt's but not much better. My cousin also went to the canteen at that time, after all, it was good to get an extra bowl of rice.

Today we had the same meal, but with an extra plate of stir-fried pork and cabbage. I have to say that my cousin's cooking skills are pretty good, at least much better than my mother, Wang Xiulan.

It was not until after the meal that the atmosphere gradually recovered and everyone began to chat about everything under the sun again. Zhang Xingwang stared at his taciturn cousin and thought about giving him a job, even a part-time job would be fine. After all, winter was about to come and it could be considered an extra income.

Unexpectedly, his cousin's wife and second aunt seemed to see through his intention. Before he could say anything, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law started to criticize his cousin, saying something like: he is not good at anything, he has no skills, and he can't speak.

In the end, he concluded that he was just like his father, who only knew how to work hard. The innocent second uncle was completely implicated, and my cousin basically shut himself up after hearing this.

Only then did Zhang Xingwang realize that with the combined power of the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, there was a reason why his cousin and uncle had such dull personalities, but they were really strong in their ability to endure.

Before Zhang Xingwang could organize his words, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law started talking about how difficult it is to find a job nowadays. They heard that the city is laying off workers, and it is even more difficult to find jobs for those without skills.

My cousin from my aunt's family is so lucky, he picked up money when he went out and so on. Besides, the child is only two months old, so my cousin has to stay at home to take care of him.

Anyway, the general meaning was to not let Zhang Xingwang worry, as long as they could make ends meet, and they didn't want to cause trouble for him. Zhang Xingwang didn't say a complete sentence throughout the whole process.

This was Zhang Xingwang's first crushing defeat since he suddenly discovered that he had a talent for chattering some time ago.

But I did feel a little warm in my heart when I listened to it. I thought that since this is the case, I will talk about it later. If there is a chance, I can see if I can find a job similar to my cousin Luo Dayong's. It should not be difficult.

He took out 50 yuan and handed it directly to the second aunt, asking her to accept it. He said that without the second aunt's food and money, he would be gone. After talking so much that his mouth was about to smoke, the second aunt reluctantly accepted 20 yuan, and also accepted the second aunt's tears, and asked him and his two sisters to start a family quickly, especially since he was also responsible for the expansion of the old Zhang family, so he should hurry up and do it while he was better.

After staying at his second aunt's house for one night, Zhang Xingwang said goodbye to his second aunt the next morning and set off for the mountains. When he arrived at the place where he entered the mountains last time, he put his bicycle in the space and started to climb the mountain.

The space is already 5.1 cubic meters, so there is basically no need to worry about not having enough space. Even if the other party has a small tribe, he is not worried at all, but every time he goes into the mountains, something embarrassing happens, and this time he must avoid this curse no matter what.

We arrived at the valley and met more people than last time. We all tacitly avoided them when we saw them from a distance. We didn't see any animals, not even rabbits or pheasants, not even a large bird. It seemed that they had either migrated or were completely eaten.

After arriving at the valley, I saw that the shed he had built was still standing alone beside the rocks, with a bonfire that had not yet been completely extinguished next to it.

In less than half a month, the creek was no longer recognizable. A shallow area in the middle was exposed, and the flow had dried up not far away. It had become two small puddles, and you could vaguely see a few thumb-sized fish swimming listlessly in them.

The man in the shed heard the footsteps and came out. He was obviously relieved when he saw Zhang Xingwang carrying the sack. Then a happy light appeared in his eyes. He walked quickly to Zhang Xingwang and said with a smile:

"Haha, little brother, you finally came. It seems that my waiting yesterday was not in vain."

Zhang Xingwang then chatted with the man for a while and asked about their recent hunting situation. The man said that he and his wife went back and went back into the mountains after only a few days.

For this purpose, he pretended to have a quarrel with his wife early in the morning, and then beat his wife so hard that she "couldn't bear it" and ran into the mountains with her bag on her back. Then he chased his wife into the mountains with a bow and arrow on his back. In the afternoon, the old man calmly followed them and prepared to persuade the couple.

The whole script was quite perfunctory, and the villagers probably couldn't bear to watch it, but everyone probably thought they went to the mountains to improve their lives.

Anyway, the farming season has been slow recently, and they are not the only family that has gone to the mountains to beat their wives. They also have a ready-made script, so they just used it without any modification. Anyway, everyone who has any skills wants to try their luck.

But Zhang Xingwang didn't believe it. Judging from his wife's performance in the past few times, the two of them were almost the same. The man should be running desperately in front with a bow and arrow, shouting "Don't come over here" while running.

However, there are always a few families who are in debt and will not survive the winter. It is nonsense to expect the village canteen to survive until the next year's harvest. It is better than staying at home and waiting to die.

The villagers turned a blind eye to this and were unable to help. Although every household had some food stored, they had to survive from now until the harvest next year, and everyone had to live on a grain of rice. They couldn't just watch them starve to death, so at least they could have some hope if they went there.

When asked about the harvest, the man sighed, and said happily but helplessly that there was no prey left in this forest. They tracked back and forth for a long time and ran a long way before they harvested a few wild boars and rabbits. However, they were far away from here, and it was inconvenient to deliver them alive. Moreover, there were people appearing here from time to time, so it was not safe to deliver them during the day.

They could only wait for Zhang Xingwang here and discuss sending it over secretly at night, or he could go over if it was convenient. The old man had another plan, after all, he could still show some respect while he was still alive.

After listening to the man's story, Zhang Xingwang thought for a while. Although this family did not seem to have any bad intentions, he still had to be on guard against them. He could only act according to circumstances.

But I still have to go. It's really unsafe here now, and hunting is basically impossible. It's a good opportunity to see if I can find a new trading place. Anyway, I know there are only three of them, so if I'm careful, there shouldn't be any big problems.

Moreover, judging from the situation this year, it is estimated that there will be no prey to hunt in the future. He may have to think of a new place. If that doesn't work, he will have to try to go to the northeast or the south. After all, he has already killed his way through the copy of Yanjing Zoo.

These days, supplies are king. Whether you are looking for a job or living in daily life, you cannot do without meat. The recipe for strengthening the body is both expensive and meat-intensive. After all, fish has little fat and consumes a lot of oil, so it is not a good idea to eat it every day.

I will study it further when I get back, but it would be best to find someone with experience to go with me. After all, the space cannot be collected directly, and it is still very dangerous.
