Chapter 25 Old Party Secretary
"This is how uncle, you're fine, let's talk aside."
"Yes, yes."
Ye Lin brought the middle-aged man to his stall and put the meat into the box. In fact, he put it in the space. Then he pushed the bicycle and the middle-aged man to the edge of the pigeon city.
"Uncle, you just said that a few wild boars came down from the mountain, and the two big ones were dead. I would like to ask, are there still a few small wild boars?"
"Yes, there are three little wild boars." The uncle nodded.
Ye Lin was very excited when he heard that there was indeed a little wild boar. Of course, this excitement was not reflected on his face, but was excited in his heart and asked quickly: "Then where are these three little wild boars now?"
"In the village!"
"Then can you take me to see?" Ye Lin said, worried that the uncle would misunderstand, and hurriedly said: "It's such an uncle. I haven't seen what a wild boar looks like, so..."
"No problem, what's the matter? I'll take you there now."
"Um."
The uncle came here, but this is normal. In this era, except in the city, no matter where he went, he basically walked. Of course, if he was far away, he could take the bus.
Ye Lin’s bicycle is a baby stroller, so he can’t take people, so the uncle can only walk. On the way to the uncle’s village, Ye Lin asked: “Uncle, are there many wild boars on the mountains near your village?”
"Well, a lot, but I rarely go down the mountain. I don't know what happened this time, but I actually ran down from the mountain."
"That's how it works!"
Yes, this era is not like later generations, where there are still many wild animals in the mountains. In later generations, these wild animals were basically beaten up, and sometimes there are no few wild animals found in a mountain.
The uncle's village is not far from Gezi City, only a dozen miles away. Although the uncle walks, he walks very quickly. In about an hour, he arrives at the village where the uncle lives.
As soon as I entered the village, I heard a mess of noise.
"Stop it quickly."
"Don't let it run."
"Stop it."
When I walked in, I found that the villagers were catching a black pig. The pig was not big, and it was at most ten pounds. The uncle turned around and said to Ye Lin, "This is a little wild boar."
"Ah! This is the little wild boar!"
Although the wild boar is fierce, it is still a pig. Even if it is fierce, it will only be caught in the end. After the little boar is caught, the uncle asked the villagers and understood what was going on.
It turned out that after these little wild boars were caught, the village found a place to lock them up. Unexpectedly, the little wild boar was wild and knocked down the circle and ran out.
"Uncle, please take me to see your village chief."
"Village Chief, you are talking about the branch secretary."
"Yes, yes, branch secretary."
"Okay, I'll take you there."
After taking Ye Lin a few steps, the uncle came to an old man in his fifties and sixties, turned around and said to Ye Lin, "This is the old branch secretary of our village." After that, he said to the old man, "Secretary, this little comrade is looking for you."
In fact, the old branch secretary saw Ye Lin just now. Because the child carriage that Ye Lin rode was so eye-catching, the reason why he didn't go up and ask was because he was the branch secretary, and the other was because he didn't know Ye Lin's identity.
"Little guy, what's the matter with me?" The old branch secretary was very kind.
"Grandpa, I heard from my uncle that my village has caught a few wild boars, so I'll come and take a look."
"Oh, it turns out to be here to see the little wild boar, let's see." The old branch secretary pointed to a pigpen built with stones.
"I saw it just now, but I saw one."
"Well, there are three in total. They are all in the circle. I originally wanted to raise them, but I didn't expect this little wild boar to be so fierce."
This is the difference between wild boars and domestic pigs. Think about wild boars in the mountains, they are free and easy. They can be said to go wherever they want. Now they keep them in a circle and go back and forth, which is such a big place, which of course makes them unaccustomed.
"I saw it, it's really fierce."
"Little guy, are you from the city?"
"Yeah, yes."
"Then why did you meet Da Kui?" The old branch secretary pointed to the uncle who brought him over.
It turned out that the uncle's name was Dakui, which was the same as the name of a seasoning. However, in that era, there was no particular point in naming. Maybe he would give the child's name when he saw something.
Ye Lin did not say that he met in Pigeon City. The uncle probably didn't want others to know that he sold the meat he distributed to them, so he told a kind lie and said, "I met on the road."
"Oh, the city is so far away from here, why did you come here?"
People in this era are very kind, and there is no incident of abducting children. It is true that even if your own children cannot be raised, who will still want other people's children?
"Isn't this a holiday? Come to the suburbs to have fun."
"Then do your family know that you ran so far?"
"have no idea."
When the old branch secretary shook his head when he heard Ye Lin say this, probably because Ye Lin ran out secretly. It was also because the old branch secretary thought that the children in the city were relatively expensive, and adults would not let them run around.
This can only be said that the old branch secretary does not understand the city. Only Ye Lin, who lives in the city, knows that the children in the city are not more expensive than those in rural areas. In this era, it is normal for a family of five or six children, and there are even more than ten.
It is not only rural areas that cannot eat enough or not, but also rural areas. Some are even worse than rural areas. In the countryside, if there is no food, go to the field to dig some wild vegetables, pick some wild fruits on the mountain, or catch a few fish in the ditch.
But in the city, there is no food, there is no food. They have no place to dig wild vegetables, no place to pick wild fruits, and no place to catch fish.
"Let's go, go to my house. I'll ask my daughter-in-law to make some food for you, and after eating, I'll send you back."
"Wait a minute." Ye Lin pulled the old branch secretary's clothes.
"What's the matter?"
"Old Secretary, I want to ask, do you sell these three little wild boars?"
"Uh!" the old branch secretary was stunned for a moment and asked, "Are you here to buy the little wild boar? What are you doing for buying the little wild boar?"
Hearing the old branch secretary ask, Ye Lin said, "I am here to buy the little wild boar. As for what to buy the little wild boar, I can't say this."
Seeing Ye Lin evasively and not wanting to say it, the old branch secretary misunderstood again and thought that Ye Lin bought the little wild boar to eat. He had heard that in the city, those rich families liked to eat roasted suckling pigs.
Seeing Ye Lin wearing bright and beautiful clothes and riding a small bicycle, the old branch secretary regarded him as the child of the rich families in the city.
If it was the morning, Ye Lin came to buy it, the old branch secretary would never sell it because he still wanted to raise them, but from morning to now, these three little wild boars have run away twice.
It's still like this now. If you grow up, you will probably run into the mountains without paying attention. Then you will be useless.
"Sell, how much do you pay?"
"I'll give you ten dollars a coin."
"Ten...ten dollars per head?"
Originally, the old branch secretary thought Ye Lin would give him three or two yuan, but he never thought he would give him ten yuan a head. Such a little wild boar with a dozen pounds had no meat at all.
To put it bluntly, after removing the internal organs and bones, there are only a few kilograms of meat at most. And because it is too small, it is impossible to have any fatty meat. Just a few kilograms of tender meat that are not delicious, Ye Lin actually spent ten yuan to buy it.
"Yes, it costs ten yuan per head."
"Okay, I'll sell it to you."
In this era, the branch secretary was just a matter of words in the village. He could represent the whole village alone, and no one would object. Besides, three little wild boars were sold for thirty yuan at once. So if they were divided by the head, they could also be divided by two cents per person.
This village is not big, with only more than twenty families, 140 or 50 people, and 30 yuan. On average, the family can get more than one yuan. This amount of money in the city is nothing, but in the countryside, this amount of money is a lot.
You can work in the city to make money, but in the countryside, you can only farm and have no way to make money. The only place to make money is to share some money when you share the food at the end of the year.
"Thank you, old secretary."
"What do you want to thank me? I'll thank you for your thanks."
After confirming that the old branch secretary really sold the three little wild boars to him, Ye Lin followed the old branch secretary to his house. The old branch secretary's house was in the middle of the village chief. The main room was three adobe houses, and there were two wing rooms on the west side, one was a kitchen and the other was a storage room.
The old branch secretary had about a dozen people, the old mother, lover, son, daughter-in-law, and four or five grandchildren of the old branch secretary. It can be said that he is a big family.
The four or five grandchildren of the old branch secretary were not much different from Ye Lin. The older one was only two or three years older than Ye Lin, the younger one was only two or three years younger, and there were also those with the same age difference as Ye Lin.
Seeing grandpa coming in with a very beautiful child, several children looked at Ye Lin after calling grandpa, probably because they wanted to know who he was.
"Ye Lin, who came from the city here, was having dinner at our house at noon today. You can't bully him." The old branch secretary said to his grandchildren.
"I know Grandpa."
Then the old branch secretary introduced Ye Lin to his old mother, lover, son, daughter-in-law, and the old branch secretary's mother was a kind old man who looked in his seventies or eighties.
To be honest, it is really not easy to live at such an age in this era.
After Ye Lin greeted him one by one, the old branch secretary said to his daughter-in-law: "Go and cook and stir-fry more eggs."
"Okay father."
After the old branch secretary went to cook, he said to Ye Lin: "I'll have someone take you back after the meal."
"Well, thank you, old secretary. This journey is not very good. I probably won't be able to load three little wild boars in my box."
Hearing Ye Lin say this, the old secretary nodded. Ye Lin's box has no problem with space, and it is more than enough to hold three little wild boars, but as Ye Lin said, the road from the village to the city is not good, so if you install three little wild boars, you may not be able to carry them at all.
