After graduation, I went home to keep bees

The next day, Jiang's family got busy. Early in the morning, Jiang Xiaoman steamed the tall four-layer steamed buns!

This kind of meat steamed bun is actually a meat and vegetable bun without folds.

Fresh pork belly is chopped into stuffing, and fried together with soaked dried plums to make stuffing.

After the dough is rolled out, wrap the fillings well, form a big steamed bun, wake up for 10 minutes and steam in a pan.

The buns made in this way are commonly known as "meat buns" locally. They are the necessary dry food for many people to work in the mountains during the busy farming season.

Put a few meat buns in your pocket, have vegetables and staple food, and bring a large bottle of water, so you don't have to go home for dinner.

In addition to the meat buns, Jiang Xiaoman also boiled a large pot of herbal tea, found two oversized sports water bottles, filled them with cold tea for Shan Yan and Jiang Yu, and filled the water bottles that he and Jiang Youliang used to use.

A few people simply ate a few meat buns, and then went into the mountain to work with their backs and sickles.

Harvesting soybeans in the morning is the most comfortable, because the dew wets the soybean seedlings, the fluff on them will not pierce the skin, and it is not hot in the morning, so they plan to take advantage of the present to harvest the land on the east hill.

This mountain land belonged to another neighbor of Jiang Youliang's family. That family moved to the city more than ten years ago.

Jiang Youliang picked up someone else's land to plant soybeans, and planted dozens of pepper trees on the edge of the land. These things can be sold for some money when they are mature. Jiang Youliang really refuses to waste a little bit of land!

However, what made Jiang Youliang angry was that as soon as they arrived in the field, they heard something running around in the soybean seedlings, and they could vaguely see a black figure jumping up and down.

"Damn it! It's these bastards again!"

Jiang Youliang suddenly picked up a few stones from the ground in a panic, and smashed them out with all his strength.

These wild boars often go down the mountain to steal food. They are very shrewd, and they retreat into the mountain as soon as they hear someone approaching.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Youliang just installed wild boar traps yesterday, and now it's done, and they caught two in one go!

"This is much more valuable than soybeans," Jiang Yu murmured.

Now there is no need to harvest soybeans.

Shanyan helped Jiang Youliang deal with the two wild boars, and several people carried the two half-sized wild boars down the mountain first.

I took out the scale at home and weighed it. One head weighed 63 jin and the other 48 jin, which is not too big, but it is definitely enough for the family to eat for a while.

"Great! I don't have to go down the mountain to buy meat these days!" Jiang Xiaoman rubbed his hands excitedly, and first carried the pig's blood to the kitchen for disposal. The pig's blood is fried with sauerkraut, which is also a good dish for dinner.

Jiang Youliang kept two wild boar bellies alone, planning to treat one to his guests, and the other with two pig legs for Jiang Baichuan to keep.

This kid has gray hair all over his head at a young age, and he should make up for it. Wild boar belly is a great thing to mend.

Put the remaining pork liver, pig lung, pig heart and pig large intestine aside first.

The viscera of wild boars has a stronger smell than domestic ones, and if they are not properly handled, they cannot be eaten at all.

Their routine here is to clean up the internal organs and marinate them with salt, pepper, chili, ginger, cooking wine and the like for a few days.

After the taste is fully tasted, take it out and drain the water, then put it in the brine prepared by dark soy sauce, soybean paste, dried chili, etc. for a day, and finally take it out and dry it before eating.

When eating, it can be sliced ​​and steamed, or it can be fried with chili peppers. It is fragrant and spicy, especially for rice!

Moreover, the internal organs treated in this way have no fishy smell at all.

Jiang Yu squatted on the side, originally planning to steal the teacher, but Jiang Xiaoman took out a lot of seasonings, this and that, moving so fast that the eyes were dazzled, Jiang Yu decided to give up after a while.

It's so troublesome, it's better not to eat it!

I'm really hungry, so let Shanyan Lie carry it over and ask Xiaoman to help with it.

Because the weather was too hot, the slaughtered wild pork could not be stored, so Jiang Xiaoman asked Shan Yan to help him chop off the ribs and pork belly, cut them into small pieces, wrap them in plastic bags according to the amount of each meal, and put them in the refrigerator to freeze .

Eight pork legs, four of which were marinated, let Shanyan and the others take two away before leaving, and the remaining four, two for today and tomorrow, and two for Jiang Baichuan.

The same goes for the two pig buttocks, one is for them to eat, and the other is for Jiang Baichuan to take to school, and tomorrow he will add a meat dish to the students and teachers.

The two pig heads are more troublesome. It takes a lot of time to deal with it. The soybeans are being harvested at home, and Jiang Xiaoman doesn't have time to deal with them. He can only pick them up with coarse salt and make cured pig heads later.

"I also want to eat cured pig's head meat..." Jiang Yu looked at the two pig's heads eagerly.

"Then why don't you take one home~ This one is very simple, pick it up after a few days of marinating, hang it under the eaves to dry, then put it in a large firewood pot and cook it, remove the meat on it, and use it to fry chili to eat. Or just dip it in water and make a cold dish, which is delicious." Jiang Xiaoman taught him.

"Forget it! It's such a trouble, I'd better come to your house for a couple of meals." Jiang Yu gave up decisively after thinking about it.

Jiang Xiaoman looked at him speechlessly, feeling that Jiang Yu and Jiang Xia were too much like brothers.

Because killing the pigs took a long time, and it was almost evening when the work was over. Jiang Youliang was happy and heartbroken. He was happy that he had added so much free wild pork to his family for no reason. There is no way to collect soybeans.

However, Shan Yan and Jiang Yu were very loyal, and for the next three days, both of them helped Jiang Youliang collect soybeans together.

The four big men are still very fast at work. The Jiang family's soybean land seems to be a lot, but in fact, there are a lot of them here and there, and they don't add up to much.

It took three days to finally get all the mature soybeans back before it rained.

Jiang Youliang was very grateful, and before he left, he gave Shan Yan and the others two of the largest wild boar legs, plus a large bag of freshly punched dried soybeans——

There are more wild animals in Laoshan'aozi, and almost no one grows beans, because there is no one to eat them, and all kinds of wild animals take turns to fight, and the soybeans are probably eaten up before they get old.

Jiang Youliang heard that they couldn't grow miscellaneous grains, so he brought them a lot of mung beans and red beans grown by himself, plus the wireless network card, spicy soup base, and spicy soup base that Jiang Xiaoman bought for them. And so on, stuff the two big back baskets to the brim.

"Brother, shall we bring more things next time? Uncle Youliang and Xiaoman are too polite to us." On the way back, Jiang Yu couldn't help but said to Shanyan.

"Yeah! When this harvest of rock honey is finished, I'll take them into the mountains for a walk." Shan Yan also felt quite embarrassed.

The first time they came to the door, they wanted to bring all the good things at home. If they couldn't take them with them, Jiang Xiaoman even wanted to make them two pots of meat buns.

The two of them had no relatives to move around in the mountains, and they both thought in their hearts that the Jiang family could move around more in the future.

However, what neither Jiang Yu nor Shan Yan expected was that as soon as they had this idea, and as soon as they got home, Jiang Xiaoman's phone call rushed over——

"Brother Xiaoyu! Quickly ask Brother Shanyan, do you want to adopt children? I have two children here, no, three children!"

What?child? !

Jiang Yu's heartbeat quickened instantly.

At this moment, in the principal's office of Langshan Primary School, Jiang Baichuan was slapping the table furiously with an angry face: "It's simply lawlessness! This is a crime!"

"Principal Jiang, calm down. Anyway, that's the way it is. The most important thing right now is to find a relative's house for these two children to live in first. They can't be sent to an orphanage in this situation." The policeman handling the case also had a bitter look on his face.

Who would have thought that in what age, there are still people who sell their sons and daughters?This is simply legal illiteracy!

Things have to start from half a month ago.

As the only primary school in the vicinity of tens of miles, Langshan Primary School takes in almost all the nearby children who are poor and unable to go to school in the town to study. Among them is the second child of Mrs. sister.

The idea of ​​patriarchy in Langshan has always been very serious. When a girl gets married, if she can't have a son, she will have to continue to have a son.

This woman named Shan Qiaoqiao gave birth to three daughters for her husband, and was forced by her husband's family to give birth to a son. The youngest daughter was not yet a full year old, and she was pregnant with the fourth soon after.

Unexpectedly, half a month ago, Shan Qiaoqiao, who went up to the mountain to collect soybeans with a big belly, accidentally rolled down the hillside. When she was sent to the hospital, she was dead, and even her son who had formed in her stomach was gone.

What if the grandson is gone?

It would be great if Shan Qiaoqiao's daughter was as old as Sister Jiang Cancan. If she married off her eldest granddaughter, she would immediately get a dowry and marry her son a wife.

But the problem is that Shan Qiaoqiao's eldest daughter has just entered the sixth grade of elementary school, and the youngest has just been weaned.

Who would have thought that Shan Qiaoqiao's mother-in-law would be so vicious. She pestered Shan Qiaoqiao's natal family at home, but let her son take her two young daughters to the county town to do some shopping.

That man Shan Qiaoqiao is also vicious, after listening to his old mother's words, he secretly found a buyer and wanted to sell the two small losers.

When the time comes back, I will say that I accidentally lost it in the city. Even if my sister-in-law goes to the police, they will have taken these two little things to no one knows where, without anyone noticing!

After a hundred days, when you have money in your hands, it will not be difficult to marry a wife to carry on the family.

The reason why the mother and son chose to sell the two smaller ones and did not move the largest one was mainly because Shan Qiaoqiao's eldest daughter, Shancha, was already in sixth grade, so it was not easy to fool, and the smaller ones were not worth much.

Unexpectedly, Shancha, a child, received an anti-trafficking course taught by an intern teacher during the summer vacation. Seeing her father sneaking around, she always felt that it was a strange reason to take two such young children to the county town to buy things.

People in the mountains are used to frugality, and it is rare to go to the city to buy things. They will definitely meet a few adults, so that they can pick up a lot of things. Who would bring two children who can't walk easily?

Taking advantage of the messy funeral at home, Shan Cha secretly ran to school and found Jiang Baichuan.

Jiang Baichuan knew something bad was going to happen as soon as he heard it!

However, in this situation where the father brought his daughter into the city, and the child was not lost, it is reasonable to say that there is no way to call the police, and the report does not meet the acceptance requirements. It is definitely not acceptable to go through formal channels.

Fortunately, their education system had "business relations" with the public security system. Jiang Baichuan immediately reported the situation to the police station in the village, hoping that they could contact the county public security bureau through the internal system.

If it is really suspected of child abduction, it is a big case!

The police station was also anxious when they heard it, and quickly contacted the county.

Fortunately, Shancha ran fast. When I heard that the comrades from the County Public Security Bureau rushed over, the two children had already lost their hands!

The police handling the case broke out in sweat instantly!

Now there is no need to investigate secretly, set up cards in the whole city quickly!

Finally, at a checkpoint on the provincial road, the trafficker's van was stopped. In addition to Shan Cha's two younger sisters, there were actually three other children in it!They are all about the same age as Shancha's sister, and they are all girls sold in the mountains...

Hugging the two younger sisters who had been lost and found again, Shan Cha hated and feared, huddled in Jiang Baichuan's office tremblingly, and refused to leave for half a step.

I'm afraid that when I get home, grandma and dad will sell their sisters again.

Jiang Baichuan was also trembling with anger. Although the student who was almost sold out was not his student, he still called the County Women's Federation, and the police station was terrified because he participated in the timely interception of this premeditated child abduction case.

The reason is simple, the other three girls in the van who were sold by the family were also from their hometown.

This means that there may be a criminal gang specializing in buying and selling children, which has long been targeting the families with many children in these impoverished mountainous areas.

Especially in Langshan, many families will continue to have sons if they can't bear them. Some daughters have too many daughters to support, so they need to sell one or two...

The human traffickers were sure about this, and they might have been active in the village for a long time.

This kind of child trafficking is not the same as abduction.

The trafficked parents desperately want to find the traffickers, which is very difficult.

But people like Shancha’s grandma and father are different. They take the initiative to sell their children. Instead of looking for human traffickers afterwards, once they are investigated, they will try their best to cover up the traces of the human traffickers, fearing that they will refund the money if the child is found. ...

The police station is completely busy now, cooperating with the special case team to hunt down the "eyeliner" and "intermediary" set up by the traffickers in the village based on clues.

Because of the shortage of manpower, only one person from the office could be sent to help send the two rescued children back.

And I didn't dare to send it home, I only dared to put it in the school first, for fear that if they sent it back here, Shancha's grandma would sell her granddaughter again - Shancha's father would have no chance, because he was suspected of buying and selling children. Already caught.

But it's easy to handle the case, so what will the three children do in the future?
