The young boy was very thin, and there was a little girl with pigtails behind him.

She was also skinny, with dry and yellow hair, and hid timidly behind him.

After being yelled at by Xu Damao, she pouted and almost cried.

The boy quickly protected her.

Jiang Bo's face tightened and he said to Xu Damao:

"He didn't provoke you, why are you so mean to him?"

Xu Damao was stunned.

I didn't expect Jiang Bo to speak up for Xiao Sizi, a kid who hasn't even grown all his hair yet.

I never see Xiao Sizi getting close to him normally.

The greatest advantage of Xu Damao is his adaptability.

It's not worth it to have a quarrel with Jiang Bo over such a kid.

He immediately put on a smiling face and said:

"I'm just afraid that he might miss your things."

Jiang Bo sneered and said:

"Okay, stop talking."

"Although he is poor, he has never done such sneaky things."

Xiao Sizi's mother died of complications during childbirth when giving birth to his sister.

His father acted as both father and mother to him and his siblings.

He also died of illness two years ago.

Xiao Sizi worked odd jobs everywhere to support himself and his younger sister Liuya.

Things were better a few years ago, but now there is a famine and the brother and sister are almost unable to survive.

Thanks to his uncle who helped the brother and sister from time to time.

Otherwise, it would have been squeezed to death by the birds in the yard.

Seeing that he was angry, Xu Damao said carefully:

"I see."

"I won't talk nonsense next time."

Originally, he wanted to chat with Jiang Bo.

But today, because of Xiao Sizi, Jiang Bo obviously disliked him a little.

It's not a good time to talk about those things anymore.

So he didn't get close to Jiang Bo anymore.

I said hello and went home.

Before leaving, he glared at Xiao Sizi, cursing him for being unlucky.

……

Entered the house.

Jiang Bo put the bear meat on the chopping board.

Then boil water in a pot.

First, cut off the large pieces of leg meat and blanch them in the pot.

While the water is boiling, cut some of the tender meat into thin strips and prepare to make jerky.

Cut the green onion and ginger into thin strips, sprinkle with five-spice powder, salt, sugar, soy sauce, and some sorghum wine brewed in his own space.

Grab and mix well.

At this time, the water was also turned on.

In another pot, pour in boiling water, put in the fried hind leg meat, then add various seasonings such as star anise, fennel, peppercorns, and top with bean paste.

The taste of bear meat is similar to that of beef, but it is much fishier than beef.

So he poured some sorghum wine to remove the fishy smell.

He planned to make a pot of braised bear meat using the method of braised beef.

Don't be too impatient when cooking this, just simmer it on low heat.

He took advantage of this opportunity to string the marinated meat strips together with needle and thread, and hung them in bunches outside his window to dry.

At this time of year, it is not summer yet in the north city. It is not humid, but not dry either.

Let it air-dry for two days and two nights, and it should be almost done.

At that time, you will need to steam it in a pot.

After it is made, it will be very convenient to carry with you when you go out.

At this moment.

The aroma of the braised meat also came out.

The casserole was bubbling non-stop, and the fragrant aroma of meat wafted out of the window.

Every household could smell the fragrance.

The children from every family were drooling like crazy.

Especially the stick terrier.

His foot injury has not healed yet, and although the splint has been removed, he still can't move as well as before.

He smelled the aroma of meat, and his appetite was aroused, making him feel itchy and unbearable.

"Grandma, I'm hungry."

Jia Zhang looked at the sky outside and immediately frowned.

"What's wrong with your parents? They agreed to be gone for a day and come back."

"It's already so late, why haven't you come back yet?"

"It must be your mother who is lazy and refuses to leave her parents' home."

"You didn't even come back to cook for us. Look how hungry my grandson is."

Bang Geng said:

"Grandma, my mom isn't back yet, please make me some food."

"What's that delicious smell outside? I want to eat meat too."

Jia Zhang sighed.

Where can I get meat at home?

Moreover, after Banggeng said that, her stomach started to growl with hunger.

She was used to being served by Qin Huairu, and she had never cooked since Qin Huairu came into the house.

I haven't touched pots and pans for many years, so my hands are very unfamiliar with them.

After cooking some cornmeal porridge at noon, she was already feeling quite impatient.

Now, Qin Huairu hasn't come back yet, so it seems I can't count on her for dinner.

But you still have to eat.

Her eldest grandson was crying out for hunger, and she was hungry too.

Jia Zhang's eyes rolled, and she ran to the bed and lifted the mattress.

"Grandson, move your butt to the side."

He unravelled the cotton thread used to sew the mattress and took out some change from the cotton wool.

"Wait, grandma is going to buy you something delicious!"

Although, usually, the grandparents and grandchildren would eat first if there was any food, but now that Qin Huairu and the others were not at home, she could take the opportunity to eat something good.

It also saves me the trouble of cooking.

She asked Banggeng to look after the house and went out to the grocery store on her little feet.

Along the way, he scolded Qin Huairu from head to toe.

……

"Ah!"

Qin Huairu sneezed again.

"Huai Ru, are you cold?"

Qin Huairu rubbed her nose and said, "No, it's okay."

She didn't know what was going on. Ever since she was released, she clearly didn't feel unwell, but she just kept sneezing.

Or maybe it was because of the smoke?

Qin Huairu guessed so.

After all, Jia Dongxu next to him had feces and urine fermenting in his trouser legs all night, and then he was smoked in the cowshed.

The smell is really indescribable.

"The Public Security Bureau has notified us and we can release you now."

"But it's not over yet."

"Especially you, Jia Dongxu."

"The bureau is busy trying enemy spies right now, so they can't take care of you."

"But your problem will have to be dealt with sooner or later."

The village party secretary gave them both a lecture.

"Reflect on this carefully when you return home."

"Don't reveal a single word about the enemy spies."

“This is the most important thing.”

"If you abide by the confidentiality regulations, you may be given leniency."

"If you dare to tell anyone, you will be sentenced to life in prison!"

"Also, don't even think about running away. Did you hear me, Jia Dongxu? I'm talking about you."

"If you run away, think about your mother, wife, and children. They won't have a peaceful life for the rest of their lives."

Jia Dongxu was like an eggplant hit by frost, and he had lost all his spirit.

He hung his head and said nothing.

The village party secretary said everything he needed to say, and then sent the two of them home.

The village office was also made to stink by Jia Dongxu.

The people who escorted them also found this job very difficult.

Qin Huairu entered the house and saw her parents, and burst into tears.

This was the first time she had been imprisoned in her life.

These two days, I haven't felt at ease for a single minute and I feel anxious inside.

Of course, I didn’t sleep well at night and spent the whole night in fear.

When Mother Qin saw Qin Huairu's expression, she immediately felt distressed and grabbed Jia Dongxu and scolded him:

"Damn you Jia Dongxu, you've ruined my daughter!"

Then she beat him and cried and scolded him.

Father Qin stopped him and said:

"Okay, let's go inside and talk."

Then he said to the escort:

"Second child, thank you for taking care of our Huairu these two days."

"Uncle, we are all from the same village, it's only natural."

"Would you like to come in and sit for a while? Go to your uncle's room and have a drink of water. Let your aunt make you some tea."

When Erwazi heard this, he quickly retreated:

"No, no, no, uncle, I have something else to do."

"Hey, I'm leaving first."

After saying that, he covered his nose, turned around and left.

Father Qin looked unhappy.

He turned around and went into the house.

Mother Qin rolled her eyes at Jia Dongxu, then pulled Qin Huairu aside and said:

"Come on, girl, come into the house."

No one paid any attention to Jia Dongxu.

He could only follow behind and went into the house awkwardly.
