Chapter 21 21Caught the prey

"I spent almost five yuan on shopping, and all the tickets. The rest is here. Mom, please order."

Grandma Wu didn’t count and directly pushed it to Zhao Lian.

"From now on, you will be in charge of this house, and you will keep all the money. You don't have to give it to me."

"I'm old. I don't want to worry about these things. I'll just keep a few fine sprouts and barley and live a comfortable life for a few days."

Zhao Lian hesitated and looked at Wu Bo.

Wu Bo nodded. Mom was indeed overworked. From now on, she would try not to disturb her in any big or small matters at home.

With Wu Bo's attitude, Zhao Lian accepted the money.

"If mom needs anything from now on, just tell me. My father and I will take care of trivial matters. For big things in the family, mom still has to help."

"My father and I are young and don't understand many things, so we can easily make mistakes."

Grandma Wu nodded and said that if you are unsure about something, just tell her.

Xiya listened to the adults talking, blinking her big eyes and twisting her little neck, seeming to understand but not understanding.

Remembering that I haven't signed in today, I raised my little hand and shouted, "Sign in, sign in..."

A half-pound bag of sorghum noodles appeared.

The three adults were very calm.

Zhao Lian picked up the bag, looked at it, and said with a helpless smile: "Xiya is really feeling sorry for us, so I thought about bringing back some coarse grains to change the taste for everyone, and she brought it right away."

"You can't keep the sprouts to eat this, it will only give us an advantage."

Grandma Wu patted Xiya's little butt feeling distressed and helpless.

The little man felt the joy of the grown-up and started to laugh silly.

In the afternoon, Wang Qiangguo came to ask Wu Bo to see the trap.

Wu Bo was quite excited when he saw prey for the first time.

I picked up my backpack and hurried to follow.

Zhao Lian looked at it and laughed: "It's rare for a father to have such a childish side."

Grandma Wu said: "In the past, because of Bo'er's father, many children in our family were quite afraid. They were either afraid or in awe and did not dare to play with him."

Grandpa Wu is a teacher, and it seems to be a natural emotion for his children to be afraid of him, which also leads to some resistance to his children.

"There is also the relationship with the Jin family. Those children feel that Bo'er is different from them and there is a gap between them, so they don't play with him."

"Later, the Jin family collapsed, we were in trouble, and our background was not clean. Those children were even more afraid to play with him under the warning of their parents."

"Growing up, Bo'er didn't have many playmates."

"This child is sensible and is afraid that we will worry. He says he likes to study, but he doesn't pay attention to anything else except studying every day."

"While other children were playing wildly outside, he would hide at home and read."

"Or you can secretly watch others playing and be envious."

"We felt sad when we saw him, but there was nothing we could do. We couldn't force other children to play with him."

"Now that someone is willing to take him, he is naturally happy."

After hearing what Grandma Wu said, Zhao Lian felt very sorry for Wu Bo.

Although she can't remember what happened in the past, she is certain that her childhood should be happy.

Zhao Lian escaped and fell into the Great Wolf Brigade. She was very hungry and begged for food from Grandma Wu. She got to know her over time and married Wu Bo.

She doesn't remember her family or her past memories. She only vaguely remembers that her name is Zhao Lian.

Xiao Xiya has already woken up from her nap. With her age advantage, she can listen to adults speaking openly.

The little girl has a crooked little head and a clear look. It turns out that her father likes to play with others.

Wu Bo, who likes to play with others, and Wang Qiangguo and others have arrived at the foot of the mountain.

I couldn't wait to walk towards the trap, I couldn't help but feel excited and nervous.

In these days, every family is short of food and clothing. If they can hunt one or two wild animals, they will be happy all year long.

They dare not enter the mountain, so they can only try their luck at the foot of the mountain.

I have to say that they were very lucky today.

"Yes, there is prey." The person closest to the trap suddenly exclaimed loudly.

Wang Qiangguo and his group have made traps not once or twice, but today was the first time they caught prey.

As soon as the cheers started, everyone was excited.

"Really caught? Everyone, please look at yours to see if you have one too."

As soon as the words fell, everyone ran towards their trap.

As expected, there were exclamations one after another, and the entire foot of the mountain was filled with the joy and excitement of the young men, making people's blood boil.

Wu Bo lost his usual calmness and couldn't help but become anxious.

His legs were bad, and the trap was the farthest away. Hearing the exclamations one after another, his heart was pounding wildly, and he was both excited and worried.

Finally, when I got closer, I saw the big fat rabbit lying in the trap. I calmed down and became so excited that I shouted, "I have one too, I caught it too."

"Really?" Wang Qiangguo ran over quickly carrying the rabbit in his trap.

Darling, the rabbit in Wu Bo's trap is at least six pounds, which is much heavier than the one in his hand. The rabbit in his hand is so skinny that it does not exceed four pounds in total.

However, he is very content. Compared with the previous empty-handed days, he is much luckier today.

"Brother Bo, don't move. I'll go down and carry it out for you."

There are barbs in the trap, and the rabbit will be more or less injured when it falls.

It was such a cold day and the wound was not treated, so he froze to death in a short time.

Not only the rabbits, but also the pheasants in other people's traps froze to death.

Wu Bo didn't show off, so he thanked Wang Qiangguo and asked Wang Qiangguo to get it for him.

Wang Qiangguo came up with the rabbit, and everyone else gathered around him, all envious.

"Today, Brother Bo's rabbit is the fattest and has the most meat."

"Brother Bo is so lucky, he caught something on his first try."

Wu Bo was a little embarrassed by the praise, his handsome face turned red slightly, and he hummed twice.

"Hey, mine's not bad either. Although it's not as meaty as Boge's, I'm the biggest among the pheasants."

The men who caught the pheasant all despised the man.

The man smiled sarcastically, and the group of people made a fuss.

"I'm content. All year round, I just get some cheap meat today, even if the mosquitoes are bigger, I won't mind it."

Everyone was talking to each other very warmly.

"Brother Bo, my mother said she wants to eat rabbit, can I trade it with you for pheasant? Next time your family wants to eat rabbit, I will trade with you."

The man in his mid-twenties looked at Wu Bo with his eyes rolling, and handed over the skinny pheasant, which weighed no more than two kilograms.

The lively atmosphere solidified instantly.

No one is a fool. If he exchanges two pounds of meat for someone else's six pounds of meat, he really dares to say so.

He also said that the next time, this time the luck is beyond the sky, how can I dare to think about the next time.

Wu Bo raised his eyebrows slightly. These people were summoned by Wang Guoqiang. For the sake of Wang Guoqiang and the captain, he did not want to offend anyone.

But if he is fooled by others as a fool and just does what others want, it will appear that he has no temper and is easy to bully.

He smiled and said: "There is no need to exchange for pheasants. If your mother wants to eat rabbits, she can exchange them for whole grains."

"My family has eaten sweet potatoes all winter, and I'm thinking of replacing them with some whole grains."

"I'm lucky today. This rabbit is heavy enough. Let's calculate it as six pounds."

"A pound of rabbit can be exchanged for 70 cents, which is a total of four and two yuan. If you are a fellow villager, you don't need to vote. Just convert more coarse grains."

"Coarse grains are ten cents a pound. Four yuan and two can be exchanged for 42 kilograms of coarse grains. If you add the coupons, you can get a total of fifty kilograms of grains."

"It doesn't matter what kind of grain it is, sorghum and corn will do. The main thing is that I just can't stand eating sweet potatoes alone."
