But it’s different if you organize a hunting team. First of all, Li Huan has a civil warehouse, as well as homemade hands and mines, so he has basic protection when encountering large beasts.
"I declare that every household must send one person, but the age requirement is that the person must be no older than fifty and no younger than twenty, and must be male. Women are not allowed to participate."
"Also, all the large game we catch will be sold to the state purchasing unit, and the money will be divided equally among the families. Those who agree can go to the old village chief to sign up."
Everyone turned around and ran towards the village committee. Everyone knew that when it came to registration, they had to queue up honestly. Anyone who dared to cut in line would not be able to register.
The skinny monkey stared blankly at the villagers running away quickly, and asked in confusion: "Brother Huan, if we really send the prey we catch to the state purchasing unit, how can we make money then?"
Li Huan explained in a low voice that actually the higher authorities did not allow the village to form a hunting team privately. On the one hand, it was too dangerous, and on the other hand, it was considered to be undermining socialism.
But this year's harvest is not very good, and the amount of public grain to be handed in cannot be reduced, so if the villagers want to have enough food and clothing, they always have to use their brains.
So Li Huan went to the commune and vaguely proposed to set up a hunting team. If they killed small animals, the villagers would have some meat to eat to keep warm. If they killed large animals, it would be considered a contribution to the country.
Skinny Monkey's eyes brightened as if he had attended a live social class. He discussed with Li Huan that before the villagers went up the mountain to hunt, they should make a deal first, because he had found a reliable buyer.
Of course Li Huan agreed with all his heart. The next day, the couple took little Cheng Li to their house in the county town. Cheng Qiao kept taking things out of the space, and little Cheng Li was so surprised that he drooled without even noticing.
It turned out that apart from the bedroom and the black soil in the backyard, Cheng Qiao had never taken little Cheng Li to a grocery store, let alone a warehouse, so little Cheng Li had no idea that there were so many good things in his mother's secret base.
"Oh...ah..."
"Baby, do you want to eat these?"
When Cheng Qiao heard little Cheng Li making "oh and oh" sounds, she knew what he was thinking and asked with a smile.
Little Cheng Li nodded quickly. Cheng Qiao thought that the little guy was almost five months old, so it wouldn't hurt to add some complementary food, so she opened a can and scooped a little bit of juice for him to drink with a spoon.
After drinking the can of honey water, little Cheng Li smacked his lips and made "oh oh ah" sounds, his tone becoming much more anxious. Li Huan found it funny, so he took the can and little Cheng Li from Cheng Qiao, sat beside them and fed him carefully.
"Don't give him too much food, it's too cold."
"Okay, another sip."
Li Huan started playing with his son. He scooped a spoonful of fruit and put it towards little Cheng Li's mouth. When he opened his mouth, he changed the direction of the spoon and all the fruit went into his mouth.
After two or three times, little Cheng Li's big eyes were filled with tears. That aggrieved look made Li Huan feel itchy in his heart, and he simply loved her so much.
"Son, Daddy is wrong. He shouldn't tease you. Let's go ask Mom for something delicious."
Little Cheng Li wanted to cry at first, but after hearing Li Huan's apology, his tears slowly stopped. He remembered his mother's words clearly, saying that his father would be killed by bad people, so he couldn't be angry with his father.
Cheng Qiao felt warm at heart watching the interaction between the father and son. This was her first time as a mother and she didn't know what a child less than five months old could eat. It was not until she saw the ice cream that she hesitated for a moment before taking it out.
It was the first time that Li Huan saw such beautifully packaged ice cream. He took a bite himself. It was cold and hard, but very delicious. He quickly scraped a little with a spoon and put it into little Cheng Li's mouth.
Little Cheng Li frowned at first, wondering what this thing was and why it was so cold. But when he tasted it, he couldn't help but stretch out his hands to grab the ice cream.
How could Li Huan let such a young child eat such a big piece of ice cream? He scraped two spoonfuls for little Cheng Li and asked Cheng Qiao to put it away.
"Son, the weather is already very cold. If you eat too much of this, your stomach will ache. You will have to go to the hospital for injections and medication."
Although little Cheng Li had never had an injection in his previous life, he had taken medicine, so he nodded very obediently. This nod scared Li Huan. This child seemed to be a little too smart.
After Cheng Qiao put away her things, she seemed to hear the sound of a car outside. She quickly took out the earthenware shed, handed it to Li Huan, and disappeared in an instant holding little Cheng Li.
Cheng Qiao stood under the ginseng tree, put little Cheng Li down, and stared outside. Little Cheng Li saw his mother staring outside without blinking, and became curious.
While holding the red-headed viper's tail with both hands and playing with it, he imitated Cheng Qiao and looked outside from time to time.
Not long after, the skinny guy walked in with a boy who looked about seventeen or eighteen years old. Li Huan immediately became alert. His sixth sense told him that the boy was not very old, but he must have powerful kung fu skills.
"Hello, Comrade Li Huan. We are extremely short of various supplies. No matter what you have, I want it all. But there is one thing. Can you give me a price that is a little lower than the price on the black market?"
Cheng Qiao saw that this man stood very straight and his gestures were very standard, which made her feel inexplicably familiar, just like her father Cheng Liguo.
She always sits like a pine tree and stands like a clock. If I see her lying on the bed or walking hunched over, I will ask her to stand for two hours with a book on her head.
At that time, Wang Ping was very happy to see Cheng Qiao being punished, because no matter how lax she was, Cheng Liguo would not even look at her for a second. Cheng Qiao originally thought that if she had a stepmother, she would have a stepfather, but now she understands that this is just a father's true love for his daughter.
"Sure. I have goods worth 5,000 yuan, which is 20% lower than the black market price."
"Okay. By the way, my last name is Qin Guoqing. I was introduced by Brother Li Bing. Can I take a look at the stuff first?"
"Li Bing, my elder brother!"
Li Huan was greatly surprised and looked at the skinny monkey with suspicion. How could the skinny monkey be connected with the people from his eldest brother's side
Skinny Monkey also showed a look of surprise. No wonder this person seemed very familiar when he found him. It turned out that he was Li Bing's comrade-in-arms.
Cheng Qiao was completely relieved and started a new round of medicinal herb planting with little Cheng Li, while Shouhou and Li Huan also brought Qin Guoqing to the second courtyard.
Qin Guoqing was extremely excited when he saw the piles of bacon, canned food, rice, flour, oil, various milk powders, red dates and other nutritional products on the shelves.
Sometimes they have small-scale conflicts with people on the border, and the injured suffer great physical damage due to lack of nutrition.
Many wounded soldiers with poor physical fitness had to be demobilized. If they had sufficient meat, eggs, milk and other nutritious products to replenish them in time, this situation could be greatly improved.
