Ji's mother finished handling the pheasant, touched the wings after the feathers had been removed, and almost couldn't help but chop off some meat for her family to eat.
But think about what her younger son said to her.
Between a son and a pheasant, the only choice is the son.
When she packed up the pheasants and looked around for things to pack them, Ji Changze in the room was also teaching Ji Changguang how to pack these wild products.
There are a lot of fabrics that can be used at home. This is also thanks to Ji's mother's temperament of hiding any good things. She bought new fabrics and was reluctant to use them, so she kept them in the cabinet waiting to make new clothes during the Chinese New Year. .
As a result, mice got into the cupboard, and the good fabric was bitten with several big holes. Not to mention making clothes, even if it was to be used as a bed sheet, it was necessary to find other fabrics to fill the big holes.
At that time, Ji's mother was so angry that she and her whole family rummaged through boxes and cabinets to try to find the rat and roast its meat over fire. However, she failed to catch it, and in the end she could only angrily press the cloths at the bottom of the box.
Now, Ji Changze and Ji Changguang tore them into small strips of cloth, and tied the cloths together into beautiful bows.
Ji Changguang had never seen this kind of packaging method before, and asked him out of curiosity: "Naganze, what are you doing? Didn't you say you want to wrap these mountain goods?"
"Yeah, isn't there no bag?"
Ji Changze started quickly and quickly gathered all the bows: "Just wait until you go to the city and buy a box."
Although Ji Changguang still didn't understand the use of doing this, but thinking that his younger brother told him that the packaging would look better so that he, the eldest brother, would gain face in the Yue family, he honestly kept his mouth shut and continued to help.
The two brothers fiddled with the bows and prepared the mountain goods, then put everything on the cart and set off.
Before setting off, Ji Changguang, who had never experienced being treated like a treat when going out, had a good experience this time.
Ji's mother held his hand, her eyes full of reluctance, and kept telling him: "Hurry up on the road, it's been very cold these days, don't get cold."
It was rare that she only talked to herself instead of her brother. Ji Changguang was so excited that he nodded repeatedly: "Mom, don't worry, Nagasawa and I have long legs. We will be here soon and we won't be cold."
Ji's mother was still worried. Her pheasant meat had just been cleaned and was frozen.
She held her eldest son's hand again and said, "Next time, come and see us more often. Don't always come once in such a long time."
Send a few more things to make up for her pheasant meat.
Ji Changguang looked at his mother's face full of reluctance and nodded quickly, with a guilty look in his eyes.
He was really unfilial. When he went to the city, he couldn't always accompany his parents, and he complained that they only loved Nagasawa.
Now that he was about to leave, I saw how reluctant my mother was to let him go, looking like she wanted to hold him back and not let him go, but had to let go, and then I realized how much she couldn't let him go.
"Mom, I will definitely come back often in the future. Don't worry, just go back."
Ji Changguang really had the urge to stay at home, but no, he would continue working tomorrow and had to leave.
So he could only endure the reluctance in his heart and slowly let go of Ji's mother's hand that was firmly holding on to him.
"Brother, let's go."
Ji Changze was holding a piece of dead grass in his mouth. When he saw Ji Changguang coming, he got up from the cart, threw the dry grass and asked him to come with him.
Ji Changguang nodded and looked back, seeing his parents standing at the door with reluctance on their faces.
He felt distressed and happy at the same time.
The brothers walked away.
Ji's mother still stood there firmly, watching their figures disappear around the corner, and then wiped the corners of her mouth with reluctance:
"My big fat cock, suck it."
***
Although the road to the city is not difficult to walk, it is also long and eccentric. It passes through three rivers. Although there are scattered households around, they are all far away from the rivers.
Ji Changze stretched out his head to take a look when he was passing by a river, and then said to Ji Changguang who was pulling the car: "Brother, stop for a while."
Ji Changguang stopped in confusion, and then looked at his brother with a confused face as he took out a hook made of needles from his pocket.
"Nagaze, what are you doing?"
"I see that no one has crossed this river, and the water is not shallow. There might be fish in it."
As Ji Changze spoke, he rummaged in his pocket again, took out a ball of cotton thread, and tied it skillfully on the hook. He broke off a small dead branch nearby and tied it to the rope to use as a fish float, and then hooked it from the pheasant meat. He picked up a small piece of meat, threw the hook into the water, and pulled the cotton thread to look down.
A series of movements were performed smoothly, and the entire process took no more than three minutes.
Ji Changguang: "..."
He stood there for a while, Nagasawa looking like he was fishing leisurely.
"Nagaze, stop making trouble. We have to go to your sister-in-law's house quickly, otherwise we won't be able to make it in time for lunch."
"wait for me."
Ji Changze didn't look up from the water at all, and said without looking back, "I'll catch another fish and take it to my sister-in-law's house."
Ji Changguang scratched his head helplessly: "Naganze, the fish were almost caught to death some time ago. They are so fine. How can you catch them?"
—Whoosh!
The young man sitting by the river suddenly raised the line in his hand, and a fat fish was lifted directly to the shore along with the line.
Ji Changguang: "..."
He watched helplessly as Ji Changze picked up the fish and threw it on the cart, then covered it with a cover, his face full of confusion.
It shouldn't be.
He had heard his parents say before that everyone had not had enough to eat and had tried their best to get food. The fish in these three rivers had long since been caught and disappeared.
As he continued on his journey, he couldn't help but ask Ji Changze.
"Hey, isn't this simple? There are weeds all around the river, and it doesn't look like someone has stepped on it, which means no one has been fishing under the river for a long time. There is no one in our area except children. I know how to fish, but seeing how fast the river below is, and how fast the water under the bridge is, all the small fish must have been washed away, so if there is a fish, it is a big fish, so I gave it a try."
Ji Changguang became even more confused after hearing this.
In fact, he knew what Ji Changze said, but he had never thought about combining them, and he had never thought that the result of the combination would be a big fish underneath.
"Nagaze, why are you so smart? Others will never think of it."
"Have I not always been so smart?"
Ji Changze shrugged, still looking indifferent: "As for what others don't think of... you all either farm or farm every day. After finishing your work, you go home and go to bed. How can I be smart and know how to think about food?"
Ji Changguang suddenly realized.
That's right, others work hard every day, but his brother doesn't work every day, just wandering here and lying down there.
Don’t you just have time to think about other things
It seems there are benefits to not working.
There are fish and chickens. Listening to Ji Changze talking about how he will not be embarrassed this time, Ji Changguang feels proud in his heart.
Although his wife's family were very kind to him, they were still dependent on others. Ji Changguang was not the kind of person who was a soft-boiled person, so he would definitely feel uncomfortable in his heart, feeling that he had taken advantage of his wife.
But now, his family is giving away chickens, fish and mountain products.
If you want to buy meat at home, you need meat coupons. It’s been a long time since I’ve eaten meat. My wife will definitely be happy to take these things over.
Ji Changze lazily lagged behind, looking at his elder brother who had thought of something with excitement on his face, and strolled to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy a small box.
Put the mountain goods in and tie a bow.
Ji Changze is very handy, and with such a twist, the originally ordinary small box suddenly looks high-end.
He patted the small box and put it away.
Very good, you can use it.
When Ji Changguang knocked on the door, it was his wife Liu Huifen who opened the door.
"I'm back." Before the smile on Liu Huifen's face fully spread, she saw Ji Changze behind her husband, waving to greet her.
The smile on her face immediately froze.
Why are you such a shameless person here
Ji Changguang didn't realize that his wife didn't welcome his younger brother, because he was imagining beautiful scenes along the way. His face was full of smiles, and he turned around and waved to his younger brother in a good mood:
"Nagaze, come here and call someone."
Ji Changze immediately stepped forward and smiled very brightly: "Hello, sister-in-law."
Liu Huifen smiled dryly and nodded: "Nagaze is here."
"Yeah, I seem to have never been to my sister-in-law's house, so I just wanted to come and have a look. I was exhausted along the way. By the way, sister-in-law, have you started cooking at your house? Get some good food."
Seeing her brother-in-law stretching without noticing anything, and then swaggering into the house, Liu Huifen almost broke the door.
Although she didn't meet Ji Changze many times, she was very familiar with his rogue behavior.
Wasn't that bicycle what he requested so confidently
As a result, I bought the bicycle, but the promised money was not given.
Does he know how difficult it is to get a bicycle ticket!
Do you know how much it costs to buy a bicycle
How can there be such shameless people in the world!
If it weren't for Chang Guang's sake, she would have wanted to drive the person out with a big broom.
Seeing Ji Changze walking into the house, Liu Huifen took a deep breath and looked at her husband: "Chang Guang, what's going on? Why is he here? Has he returned our money to us?"
Ji Changguang could tell now that his wife didn't like his younger brother, so he quickly explained: "Huifen, actually Nagasawa is not what you thought. He is very nice, and he is also very kind to my brother. Maybe we really misunderstood before. .”
Liu Huifen: "???"
Liu Huifen: "...what did you say?"
Ji Changguang thought she didn't hear clearly, so he repeated with a smile: "I said Changze, he is actually very good to me."
Liu Huifen: "..."
In the room, Ji Changze stuck his head out and yelled: "Brother, why are you still at the door? Hurry up and get me some water and something to eat. I'm starving to death."
After saying that, maybe because he felt that this was a bit bad, the little bastard added: "And it's so cold outside, don't get cold again."
"Look, Nagasawa is so nice."
Liu Huifen watched her man smile with happiness on his face and showed off to her: "How considerate and worried about me getting cold. I'm really grown up."
Liu Huifen: "..."
Husband, what's wrong with you? Husband, did you choose to ignore those words that told you to work? ! !
Didn't you forget that we complained about Ji Changze being a bastard who only wanted money and things from us and didn't show gratitude? !
Seeing Ji Changguang enter the room with a smile on his face and serve his younger brother with a happy face.
Liu Huifen's face was blank.
It's over.
She man.
I'm possessed!
