Chapter 297 Fat Badger

These ginseng were obtained by Sheng Xiping when he led his father and younger brother into the mountains. Those three had never been to the mountains before and knew nothing about it.

Zhang Shuzhen felt that giving the boss one thousand seemed a bit too little.

But the family situation is here, and the days of spending money are later. She has no choice but to make arrangements like this.

Sheng Xiping didn't care about the eighteen hundred yuan at all.

He was the eldest son. He had earned enough money to return home and build a house for his younger brothers and find wives. That was his fair share, so he didn't want the one thousand yuan.

The two women were giving in to each other when Sheng Liancheng coughed and said, "Boss, if you want to take this money, you should quickly put it away.

It's not easy to see someone coming in broad daylight.

Don't worry about who holds the money. In the future, our family will need money and we won't have enough money. How can you still stare at it?

If you need money for something, as long as we have it, we will definitely pay it out.

My family, please stop messing with those useless things, put them away quickly, and let’s get to work quickly. "

When the two mothers heard this, they agreed, "Come on, don't give in, pack it up quickly, and do whatever you have to do."

In this way, Sheng Xiping took one thousand and Zhang Shuzhen took two thousand. The two mothers quickly found their own places to keep the money.

After putting the money away, Sheng Xiping took out all the fabric and cotton he bought from his pocket.

"Mom, do you think this fabric is okay? I think this color and pattern can be used by both girls and boys."

Sheng Xiping and his wife bought several pieces of fabric, including twill, plain and printed fabrics.

At this time, there are not so many colors of fabrics.

There are two pieces of printed fabric, with earthy yellow and orange backgrounds, with layers of circles of various colors printed on them.

Looking at it with no idea, it looks like there are a lot of steel stamps printed on it, but the color and so on are fine anyway.

When wearing it for children, the most important thing is to be resistant to stains. Colors that are too plain are not good, so they have to be so lively.

The color is bright and can be used by both boys and girls. The baby is born around New Year's Day, and it's cold at that time, so I need to make a few more sets of cotton-padded jackets and trousers.

This is the first child in the Sheng family. Regardless of the boy or girl, you must pay attention to both.

"Well, these colors are pretty good. You can leave them for now. I'll make them later when I have time.

Let's prepare early, don't be like some families, where the wife is giving birth to a baby while the children here are busy making quilts. "

Zhang Shuzhen liked the fabric very much when she saw it, so she put the things in the cabinet and waited for her to make them slowly when she was free.

Zhou Qinglan is pregnant now and is very busy teaching. Besides, Zhou Qinglan has never done these things like cotton-padded clothes and trousers for babies, and she has no experience at all, so Zhang Shuzhen has to do it.

After everything was packed and put away, Zhang Shuzhen came out and continued cutting the beans, while Sheng Liancheng helped dry them.

Sheng Xiping saw that there was nothing he could do to help, so he had better go to the educated youth team to see the situation.

I haven't been at home these days, and I don't know if any wild beasts have entered the land later.

The collective house is not far from Hou Dadi. It was renovated in the spring of this year. Most of the unmarried male educated youths live in the collective house.

When Sheng Xiping came over, Guo Yongping and his group were tired from the night patrol last night and were resting in the house. Wang Jianshe and others were not there.

In early September, the crops in the fields are still in the final stage of maturity and cannot be harvested. Cabbage, radish, potatoes and sweet potatoes are not in season yet.

Therefore, these educated youths stay vigil at night and sleep when they should sleep during the day.

Otherwise, go to the nearby woods to pick mushrooms, beat pine seeds, pick walnuts, etc. Anyway, you are not idle.

Sheng Xiping estimated that Wang Jianshe and the others went to the woods to pull something.

"Hey, Xiping is back, so what, sit down quickly." Guo Yongping and others were not sleeping and were playing cards in the room. When they saw Sheng Xiping coming in, they quickly asked him to sit down.

"Well, my sister-in-law is back from a meeting? What kind of meeting was she having? Why did I hear people say that there is a workers' university going to be held? Night classes?"

Everyone knew that Sheng Xiping had gone to a meeting with his wife. When he saw Sheng Xiping, he couldn't help but want to find out what was going on.

"I'm not sure. I'll wait and see what the venue arranges in a few days." Sheng Xiping shook his head.

He is not interested in these things. They are all just a gust of wind that blows away in a few days. There is no need to pay too much attention to these things.

"By the way, how are things going at home these days when I'm not at home? There aren't any animals coming to the fields to cause trouble at night, right?"

What he cares most about is the crops in Hou Dadi.

It's easy to say whatever he says when he's at home, but if he's not at home and some wild beast comes in and causes trouble, it's not easy to say what he says.

"It's not bad. I can't say it's not at all. It's probably because a few badgers came into the fields and caused some trouble for the sweet potatoes and corn.

Jianshe and Weiguo and others led their people to follow the badger's tracks, as if they were using firecrackers, and blasted a badger nest and caught three or four badgers.

The fields were quieter last night, and there was no sign of badgers coming to cause trouble. "

Guo Yongping scratched his head. His relationship with Sheng Xiping was average, not as strong as Wang Jianshe's and Sheng Xiping's.

Last year, Wang Jianshe and others followed Sheng Xiping and learned a lot of skills. Now they can handle the prey that comes and goes.

When Sheng Xiping heard this, he nodded, but a few badgers couldn't make a big difference.

Wang Jianshe and the others had a little trouble dealing with the black blind man, but hunting wild boars and catching badgers shouldn't be a big problem.

"Oh, that's fine. As long as nothing harms our crops, our mission this fall will be considered well accomplished.

Okay, you guys can have fun, I'm going home first, and I'll lead people on patrol in the evening. "

Sheng Xiping nodded. Since there was nothing important for the educated youth team, there was no need for him to delay here.

Wang Jianshe and the others didn't know where they went when they entered the forest, so they might as well go home and wait.

In this way, Sheng Xiping sat in the collective household for a while and chatted with Guo Yongping and others before leaving and going home.

At noon, Sheng Xi'an came back with a basket of pine cones on his back. Only then did Sheng Xiping know that his younger brother, Wang Jianshe and others, had gone to the forest to hunt pine cones.

In the afternoon, Sheng Xiping also went into the mountain with him, and happened to meet Wang Jianshe, Chen Weiguo and the others.

Several people gathered together, and Sheng Xiping distributed the money from selling bear bile to everyone, and then everyone divided the work. Those who climbed up the tree, and those at the bottom picked up the tower.

The pine nuts this year are not as thick as last year, so they have to work harder and try to clear all the pine cones near the forest farm as soon as possible. After the autumn harvest, they can go further.

If you get the pine nuts ready this fall, you can earn a hundred and eighty yuan, and no one wants to miss it.

The wild ginseng and bear bile have been sold, and the black blind man at home has not dried up his bile. For the time being, Sheng Xiping has nothing to think about, so he stays in the educated youth team.

Together with the others, we would watch Qing patrol at night, and go to the woods during the day to beat pine seeds, pick walnuts, or pick hazelnuts and mushrooms.

Anyway, guarding the big forest, autumn is the time when the products are most abundant. As long as people are not lazy, they can always bring back a lot of things this autumn.

At the end of September and the beginning of October, the crops in the fields are all grown, and it is the harvest season.

Agricultural cooperatives usually give schools a busy farm break at this time, and the children go home to help with the work at home and seize the time to harvest.

Qianchuan Forestry Farm also has a family team and an agricultural unit, and by this time it will definitely be the first in autumn harvest production.

In addition, the school has to ask the children to hand in hazi every year, and this year's task is fifty pounds for each person.

Then we must give the children a holiday. Otherwise, where would they have time to pick up wormwood?

Starting from September 25th, Maekawa Elementary and Middle School will also be on holiday.

Zhou Qinglan could finally rest for a few days, and together with Zhang Shuzhen, they made clothes, quilts, diapers, etc. for the unborn baby.

Make preparations in advance so that you don’t have to worry when the baby is born.

Sheng Xiping led the educated youth team, and together with the forest farm family team, they went all out to grab the autumn harvest.

Take back the corns and beans first, then the cabbage, radishes, and finally the potatoes and sweet potatoes.

Harvesting the fields during the day and looking at the youth at night, for more than ten days, made these educated youths have black circles under their eyes.

Fortunately, the forest farm has little land, which is incomparable to the agricultural team. Ten and a half days of hard work is basically enough, and everyone can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

"Xiping, it's so late at night, why are you going out again if you don't stay at home to have a good rest?"

After dinner that day, Sheng Xiping put on leggings and a bag on his back. It goes without saying that he was going hunting.

Zhang Shuzhen felt strange, what was the eldest son going to do? I'm so tired from working these days, why don't you stop and take a rest?

"Oh, Mom, I plan to go with my second son, our dog, and little Huahua, and walk around the land together.

Recently, a few badgers have come to the land. It just so happens that our badger oil is out. I am thinking about catching a few and bringing back some badger oil. It will be useful in winter. "

As Sheng Xiping explained, he reached out and took off the gun from the wall.

A few days ago, I discovered traces of badgers on the back ground, but the harvest of corns and beans has been completed. The most the badgers can do when entering the fields is to pick up some beans, corns, and small potatoes to eat.

Sheng Xiping didn't hesitate to take care of it. The autumn harvest was important.

Now that all the crops and vegetables have been harvested, there are only piles of corn stalks left in the field. Dogs can run away in the field.

Sheng Xiping planned to take the dogs out for a walk, have some fun, and catch a few badgers back to burn some oil.

Another thing is that little Huahua is almost four months old now, so she needs to be allowed to see battles and learn to hunt small animals.

Learning skills must start from a young age, otherwise this little guy will have to eat meat all day long.

Fortunately for now, Sheng Xiping is at home and can go hunting every now and then. After a period of heavy snowfall, Sheng Xiping will have to go to the mountains to cut trees. Who will hunt and feed the little tiger? Then doesn’t it have to figure it out on its own?

"Oh, then you two brothers bring flashlights and be more careful." Upon hearing this, Zhang Shuzhen stopped asking questions and just told Sheng Xiping and the two brothers to be careful when going out.

Sheng Xiping put his gun on his back and called Huahua, "Huahua, let's go hunting."

I don’t know if Huahua could understand the words, but the little guy came out of the big flower basket as soon as he heard Sheng Xiping’s shout.

He stretched a lot, shook his hair, and followed Sheng Xiping out with square steps.

Sheng Xiping and Sheng Xian came out of the house and untied the dogs in the yard, "Let's go."

As soon as the dogs heard this, they knew they were going hunting, and they immediately became excited, jumping up and down one by one. Among them, Xiao Huang was the one who jumped the most.

Xiao Huang's two children are already two months old. The puppies were weaned a few days ago, and Xiao Huang moved to the yard.

The main reason is that Huahua has not been weaned yet and has to eat several meals a day and add meat the rest of the time, so Xiao Huang did not send it back.

Huahua ate meat and drank milk, and she became very strong and shaky day by day. When she wanted to drink milk, she would go out to find Xiao Huang, and play with Erlangshen and the others for a while.

When I was sleeping, I was still in the big flower basket, with Xiao Huang's two children, two dog cubs and one tiger cub who grew up together. No one was afraid of the other.

On a whim, Huahua bullied the two puppies. The two puppies got so angry that they even barked at Huahua.

Originally, Liu Changde said that these two puppies were one for each family, but the Sheng family had raised them for so long, and Liu Changde couldn't say that he wanted to go back.

Fortunately, Erlangshen had several female dogs at that time. The female dogs of two families on the other side of the alkaline field had given birth to pups. Sheng Xiping agreed to give two to the Sheng family, so Sheng Xiping simply gave them to the Liu family.

Therefore, the two puppies born by Xiao Huang returned to the Sheng family.

As a result, the Sheng family currently has five large dogs, two small cubs, and one tiger cub.

This is a huge team. Just to feed the dogs, they get a lot of things in a year.

When the family team was selling potatoes and sweet potatoes the day before yesterday, Zhang Shuzhen sent her family members to buy several more bags of potatoes.

Especially those smaller and cheaper potatoes, take them out more often and keep them to feed the dogs.

Sheng Liancheng was talking to Sheng Xiping a few days ago about discussing with the Liu family next year to pick up some small areas at the alkaline base.

Not to mention anything else, just plant some potatoes, sweet potatoes, corns, etc., and keep them to feed the dogs.

The two brothers led five dogs, and the little tiger Huahua followed Sheng Xiping, and the large army marched straight to the back land.

As soon as he arrived at the edge of the back ground, Erlangshen smelled something and struggled to pull on the rope.

So Sheng Xiping and the two brothers quickly untied the dogs, let them loose, and ran across the large harvested land.

This is Huahua's first time in the wild, and everything he looks at is new.

This guy's sense of smell is also very sensitive, but it has never caught prey, so it doesn't know where to start and looks into the distance with a blank expression.

Sheng Xiping was not in a hurry when he saw this. No matter what kind of animal it is, there is a process for learning to hunt.

If Huahua was still with the tigress, there would be no need for her to hunt when she was so old. The tigress would catch the prey and feed it to her.

When Huahua is older, the tigress will take it with her when hunting, so that it can see how the tigress hunts and learn through imitation.

But right now, Huahua has no one to imitate, and can only slowly figure out everything based on its own nature, so there is no rush.

Hunting is the nature of cats, and this nature will awaken at the right time.

Just like Huahua at this moment, although she had never seen how a tigress hunts, she lowered her body, gently swung her tail, and walked towards the ground with light and agile movements.

Sheng Xiping said nothing, letting Huahua do her best. Regardless of success or failure, this was a stage that Huahua had to go through.

At this moment, less than a hundred meters away from Huahua, a fat badger with its butt swinging when he walked was picking up soybeans in the ground to eat.

The weather this year was dry and the beans dried quickly. When the beans were cut, many pods burst open and fell to the ground.

Even though the soybeans were scattered on the ground in a bright yellow color, it took a long time to pick them up.

Although the students were on holiday from farming, they were too busy picking up hemlocks to pick up soybeans.

The educated youth and the people from the family team tried their best to pick up some, but there were still a lot left on the ground. Wouldn't they become delicacies for badgers?

These guys are used to eating, and they all come to the fields to look for food.
