Siheyuan: Rebirth 52, intercepting Qin Huairu

Look at Brother Wang Liu, the enthusiasm he shows when treating his prey is amazing.

For example, when dealing with the two wild boars, the strong men in the village were extremely calm and professional.

But this time when he came to such a large-scale steel plant, he seemed a little timid and hesitant.

This situation is very normal in this era.

The economic development situation now is not as good as that of later generations. The difference between urban and rural areas is not so obvious, and farmers have enough confidence when going out.

In such an era, many people would have experiences similar to that of Brother Wang Liu - once they entered the city, their self-confidence seemed to disappear without a trace.

Jia Haoyun was full of curiosity about this, which was one of the reasons why the people of Xiaowang Village found him for the first time.

Because of the special connection with Xiaowang Village, the relationship between the two is close while maintaining an appropriate distance, which also builds a certain tacit understanding and boundary between the two sides.

It is also very important to abide by this unspoken agreement in our interactions with each other, as it can promote deeper understanding and cooperation.

When Brother Wang Liu appeared here, Jia Haoyun was slightly surprised, but he did not come out of fear, but more of unexpected interest.

After all, Jia Haoyun did not put him in any trouble or make him encounter any embarrassing situation.

When Jia Haoyun learned that Wang Liuge had been holding back for a long time before speaking, he took Wang Liuge to his own secret space.

Brother Wang Liu actually had no inconvenience. He might just be shy or not very good at expressing what was in his heart.

After arriving at Jia Haoyun's secret place, the two began to get busy, enjoying the tranquility and privacy.

Although Jia Haoyun hasn't been here in the past few days, the situation indoors is still good and there isn't too much dust accumulated.

Brother Wang Liu didn't feel unfamiliar at all, and he was willing to help Jia Haoyun draw a bucket of well water.

Fortunately, an ancient well is still preserved in the courtyard.

If the tap water source at home is installed, it may cause some trouble.

Especially in winter, low temperatures can easily cause pipe freezing problems.

After getting the water, I lit the wood stove and connected the chimney to the fire pit at the foot of the bed.

Soon I felt the temperature in the house rising rapidly.

The small size of the room played to its advantage and it quickly became warm.

While waiting for the water to heat up,

Like magic, Jia Haoyun took out the fat lamb leg and added a bottle of fine white wine.

As soon as Brother Wang Liu saw these things, his eyes suddenly lit up.

The forests in that area were already empty, and even the occasional prey that appeared was very rare.

Most animals were driven into remote mountains and forests.

Deep in the mountains and forests, he even dared not to set foot there casually.

After all, it's not worth eating for this little bit.

This also means that even though Brother Wang Liu is a famous hunter, he has not tasted fresh meat for a long time.

This big piece of mutton weighs at least three pounds. If two people share it, each person can get more than one pound on average.

In today's environment, such a contribution is indeed rare.

Brother Wang Liu is a straightforward person and never pretends. As long as he wants to eat, he eats. There is nothing worth hiding.

He said that he would repay Jia Haoyun for this favor in the future. He is not good at expressing his feelings verbally, but he is definitely a loyal friend.

He got to work right away. Brother Wang Liu's cooking skills were excellent. Jia Haoyun didn't hesitate to take out a clay pot and handed it to him to prepare the meat immediately.

While Wang Liuge was busy cutting and processing the meat, Jia Haoyun was busy preparing the seasoning. What was special was a handful of chili peppers. Even the usually silent Wang Liuge couldn't help but give a thumbs up and said "good".

Then, Jia Haoyun took out three pounds of wheat flour, waited until the mutton was stewed in the casserole, and then added some flour to the original juice of the boiled mutton. The food was so delicious that even gods could not replace it.

Jia Haoyun's generous behavior was mainly to repay Brother Wang Liu who visited him for the first time. Before he understood the reason in depth, judging from Brother Wang Liu's behavior alone, this matter was not a big deal.

Friends who visit frequently, such as Nan Yi or Ma Yunpeng, did not enjoy such hospitality.

Although it was not because of stinginess, but because Brother Wang Liu and others had visited frequently.

Under the circumstances, Jia Haoyun could not explain the reason for such courtesy.

He didn't want to get himself into trouble, not to mention, this was Brother Wang Liu's first time.

This special hospitality undoubtedly made the other party realize that Jia Haoyun was a generous and resourceful person, and there was no further unnecessary speculation.

After a long time, I finally smelled the meaty aroma coming from the clay pot. This is because the clay pot itself heats up slowly, but once the temperature rises, it can maintain the high temperature. This is also the characteristic of the clay pot.

The dough has long been kneaded, and the art of pasta making has been unlocked since arriving in this era more than two years ago.

At this time, Brother Wang Liu seemed to still be immersed in some thoughts.

At this moment, Jia Haoyun did not urge him. If necessary, he would wait until they were having dinner together to ask, so as not to make Brother Wang Liu feel embarrassed.

The mutton was almost ready, and the wine had already been heated and preheated on the brazier.

The two men were not particular about details and just found two wooden stools to sit on near the stove.

Open the clay pot, and you will see the soup boiling and making a gurgling sound.

The mutton trembles and rises, looking very appetizing.

They poured a glass of white wine, and in the heat of the casserole and the delicious food, the two of them picked up the mutton from each other, tasted and shared the drinking time.

There is no need to worry about the clay pot, just keep it on the heat source to stew it, so that the flavor of the mutton will be more profound.

After the wine glasses clinked several times, Brother Wang Liu was no longer reserved and told Jia Haoyun the purpose of his visit.

After hearing this, Jia Haoyun was very surprised. He didn't expect that Brother Wang Liu had such charm. He even couldn't help but chuckle.

The beginning of this story is actually very simple - due to various complex factors, farmers' lives are not optimistic this year.

Many people choose to go to the city to seek help from relatives and friends or to borrow money.

However, due to the regulations of that era, one must have certain certification documents to go out.

If you do not have any documents and cannot find relatives or friends in the city to take you in, you may be sent back to your place of origin by the street office or public security agency.

Most of these people leave their homes to seek a living elsewhere because they have no alternative but to do so, as there is no way out at home or the living environment is harsh.

Therefore, they became a group of families who left their hometown in search of a living.

Even though Wangjia Village is located in a remote area, the same phenomenon occurs here.

Generally speaking, these people would be driven away immediately when they arrived. After all, the people with the surname Wang in the village were united and would not allow strangers to stay in their homes.

But there are exceptions, such as what happened to Wang Laosan.

When the winter was unbearably cold, work could not continue, so he chose to walk in the forest more often.

Although the chances of hunting are slim, you can occasionally get some small wild animals or birds to replenish your energy.

People in this era all know that true hunters abide by rules and preserve their species.

But jokingly speaking, it’s a little inappropriate to discuss this in the current situation of early September and autumn, right?

In this way, Lao Wang wandered around for a long time without catching anything, but he happened to meet a woman and two children at the edge of the forest, and found an unconscious woman and a child next to her who had lost vital signs.

The woman had fallen into a coma at this point, and the baby next to her was also powerless.

She held the youngest child tightly in her arms, obviously afraid that the child would catch a cold.

Fortunately, the baby's condition was not in obvious danger, and it was the child's soft cry that woke up Lao Wang.

He immediately walked over to check the breathing of the unconscious woman and her companion.

He was relieved to find out that it was just a coma in which he temporarily lost consciousness.

The youngest child was only about one year old and could not speak. She could only cry and call for her mother.

How could Lao Wang let a person whose life was in danger sit idly by? After taking the girl and two children home.

Wait for them to rest at home for a while.

First, some hot soup and porridge were distributed equally among the mother and her two daughters, and then they were allowed to slowly wake up.

In fact, the woman and the child did not have any particularly serious illness; they were just suffering from extreme hunger and severe cold.

Everything gradually got better once my body temperature returned to normal and I ate this warm meal.

When the woman opened her eyes again and saw both children sleeping soundly, she finally relaxed.

Then, she saw Old Wang coming to ask and realized that it was her savior who was next to her.

So he immediately knelt down to express his deep gratitude to her.

However, due to her weak constitution, she fell unconscious again before she could be helped up.

So Lao Wang did not dare to disrespect the mother and let her rest at home for a few days.

During the days of care, he gained further insight into the background information of the woman and her two girls.

In addition, Haiou's brother's family had many people, and it was difficult to take care of Zhao Xiaoyan and her children, so he was ruthlessly expelled by his sister-in-law.

Brother Seagull himself was also powerless. His family didn't have much food to begin with, and with three more people coming in, he had no idea how he would sustain his future life.

Faced with this dilemma, Zhao Xiaoyan also understood and finally decided to take her children and go to the city to seek a way out.

After all, in the ancient tradition of human society, big cities often hide more possibilities.

So, after getting some dry food from her brother, she set out on her journey. Although the sister-in-law knew that the amount of food was so small, it was not because she was ruthless, but because of the same difficulties and predicaments.

In this way, Zhao Xiaoyan and her children began a displaced life, moving from one city to another.

Relying on the generosity of passers-by and occasional simple sewing work for others, she could barely survive for a month. The hardships she encountered were naturally beyond words, not to mention the two times she was arrested, the forced repatriation, and the pain of having few meals during the repatriation.
