Chapter Two Double Happiness
After a while, the 280-pound wild boar was cut into eight pieces with the help of the villagers, and everyone was delighted to get their share of the wild boar.
After everyone divided the meat, they all went home. When everyone was almost gone, Ji Lianshan grabbed Ji Shian again.
"Xiao An! You can take this meat from Grandpa Shan! Grandpa is old and can't bite anymore."
Ji Lianshan said to Ji Shian with a kind face.
Hearing Ji Lianshan's words, Ji Shian's nose felt slightly sore. Since his parents were gone, Grandpa Shan was the one who cared most about his siblings.
"Grandpa Shan, you can keep it for yourself and replenish your health. You see, everyone has already given me 20 pounds. I really can't take any more."
Ji Shian refused, his tone really firm.
When Ji Lianshan saw Ji Shi'an's appearance, he sighed slightly and said, "Oh! You kid, you have been like this since you were a child, you have to be strong!"
He didn't say anything else after that, just gave a few instructions and walked slowly away with his crutches.
Seeing Ji Lianshan leaving, Ji Shi'an turned around and grabbed Hu Zi, who was about to go home. Hu Zi's real name was Ji Hu. He and Ji Shi'an grew up together, and they looked like their namesake, with a tiger's head and a tiger's brain.
"Huzi, go back and talk to your dad to see if anyone will collect this wild boar meat. I can't finish the 20 kilograms myself. I want to keep 1 kilogram for Xing'er to taste, and I want to sell the rest.
"
Ji Hu's father has been helping the villagers sell wild game and other wild products to the town all year round, so he has many regular customers. Usually, these foodies will come as soon as the food is available.
The most valuable thing about game is that it is fresh. Now that living conditions are better, many people in the city are looking for all kinds of game to satisfy their appetites.
"Brother An, this is such good meat! It would be great to keep it and marinate it for yourself."
"Xing'er has just finished the college entrance examination. I don't think it will be a problem to get into a university. I need to save more money for her."
Ji Shian said with a smile.
"You are so kind to Xing'er, okay! I'll tell my dad when I go home."
Ji Hu also knew that Ji Shi'an was extremely doting on his younger sister. After saying that, he disappeared in a flash.
Ji Shi'an carried the remaining 1 kilogram of wild boar meat in his hand and walked home happily. After all, it was a big harvest today.
Ji Shi'an's fate is really rough. Ji Shi'an is 22 years old. His parents went out to work when he was 10 years old and never came back. Both of them died in a car accident.
He left behind 10-year-old Ji Shi'an and 6-year-old sister Ji Xing'er.
After investigation, it was found that Ji Shian's parents were killed by a drunk driver. Logically speaking, the perpetrator should be sentenced. However, the other party had a strong background and bullied Ji Shian's parents because they were powerless and had to pay 50,000 yuan in compensation.
The matter was settled.
This is the reality of society, and the weak sometimes have to bow their heads.
The young Ji Shi'an and Ji Xing'er both grew up eating Baijia's food and relying on support from fellow villagers.
It may be that the children of poor people have become rich early. Ji Shi'an has become very sensible at the age of 12, and has already begun to hunt in the mountains with the hunting team to supplement the family's income with his own efforts.
At the age of 14, Ji Shi'an resolutely dropped out of junior high school. He knew that his parents had left them nothing but a brick house and a few acres of land.
The original compensation money had been exhausted early. At that time, Ji Shian had already understood that he had to support the family. He wanted to give everything to his little sister so that his little sister could get out of this impoverished Jijia Village.
Don't be trapped in this barren mountain all your life like you are.
Therefore, when many people in the village said that girls do not need to read so many books, Ji Shian firmly opposed it. No matter how difficult it was, Ji Shian firmly supported his little sister to study because it was the only way out of this mountain village.
.
"elder brother!"
As soon as Ji Shi'an pushed open the courtyard door, he heard a crisp and sweet call.
Seeing Ji Shi'an, Ji Xing'er ran over happily and jumped on top of Ji Shi'an.
Ji Shi'an smiled disgustedly and said, "Come down, come down! You're 18 years old and you still don't have any appearance." After saying that, he lightly knocked on Ji Xing'er's forehead.
Ji Xing'er was dressed plainly in a light blue floral dress, but it couldn't hide Ji Xing'er's superb appearance.
Ji Xing'er, with bright eyes and white teeth, looked clean and bright, not at all like a girl who grew up in a poor mountain.
People in the mountains get married early, and some 18-year-old girls have already given birth to babies. In the past few years, Ji Xing'er's family has almost crossed the threshold of marriage proposals.
However, Ji Shi'an blocked the door one by one. "Are you kidding? My little sister should have a better future and get out of this poor and miserable place."
Ji Xing'er pouted and said, "What's wrong! She's 18 years old and she's also your biological sister!" She also looked a little more naughty.
Ji Shi'an's home is a simple brick house with three rooms. The outside is simply surrounded by bricks and stones. It can be regarded as a small courtyard, where some fruits and vegetables that are eaten on daily basis are grown.
Ji Xing'er didn't pay attention just now. Only then did he realize that there was blood on Ji Shi'an's hands and shoulders. He curled his mouth and said distressedly, "Brother, you are injured again."
Seeing Ji Xing'er's distressed look on her face, Ji Shi'an felt comforted. This sister's pain was not in vain.
"It's okay, just some scratches"
Ji Shi'an said with a smile, then he lifted up the wild boar in his hand and waved it in front of Ji Xing'er, "Today was amazing. Uncle Wu and I hunted a big wild boar weighing 280 kilograms. That guy
, it was so shocking, but we still killed him, how awesome is he?"
Ji Xing'er ignored Ji Shi'an's words, turned around and entered the room, and soon walked out with a bottle of potion in his hand.
"Take off your clothes and I'll apply medicine to you."
Ji Xing'er's voice made her choke up, but she held back her tears.
Seeing his little sister like this, Ji Shian also smiled slightly and took off his shirt, revealing a dark and muscular body.
Since Ji Shian went into the mountains with a hunting team when he was 12 years old, his physical fitness is definitely very good. However, due to the wind and sun, he looks darker overall. But in terms of appearance, Ji Shian is actually considered a handsome guy.
One, but people in the mountains don’t pay attention to these things.
Ji Shi'an's body is covered with scars, large and small. The longest one extends from the shoulder on the back to the waist. They are all caused by hunting in the mountains over the years.
Ji Xing'er gently applied the medicine to Ji Shi'an. Looking at the scars all over Ji Shi'an's body, he still couldn't control his tears.
It's just that he didn't make a sound. Others didn't know, but Ji Xing'er knew best that every scar on his brother's body was for him.
"Oh, Xing'er, why are you crying? My skin is rough and my flesh is thick. This little injury is fine."
Ji Shi'an naturally knew that his little sister felt sorry for him, so he quickly spoke out.
Looking at Ji Xing'er who was still silent, Ji Shi'an quickly said, "Okay! Let's go, I will make wild boar for you today."
Ji Xing'er suddenly took Ji Shi'an's hand, stared at Ji Shi'an and said, "Brother, I know you love me very much, but you also need to know that I also love you very much."
"Okay, I get it"
Looking at Ji Xing'er who looked serious, Ji Shi'an also gently touched Ji Xing'er's head with his hand.
"Brother An! Brother An!"
Ji Shi'an had just finished cleaning the wild boar meat when he heard shouting coming from outside the house.
As soon as he went out, he saw Ji Hu standing in the yard sweating profusely and looking excited.
Ji Shian also rushed out to greet him, "What's wrong? Hu Zi, you are so happy!"
"Xing'er, Xing'er has been admitted! Jiangnan University, look at the admission notice."
After Ji Hu finished speaking, he handed a red admission letter to Ji Shi'an.
When Ji Shi'an heard the news, he couldn't contain his joy and quickly accepted the admission notice.
"Grandpa Shan asked me to come and inform you quickly. Everyone is very happy. Jiangnan University! My dad said this is a key university. Xing'er is the only college student in our Jijia Village in the past ten years. It's amazing."
Ji Hu also had a happy face. The conditions in Jijia Village were difficult, and everyone wanted to educate their children to study, but the burden was too great. Many children dropped out of school early and began to think of ways to make ends meet.
Like Ji Shian and Ji Hu.
It is conceivable that in such a difficult environment, a college student can be cultivated by force. This is Ji Shian's insistence, not wanting Ji Xing'er to live a hard life.
When Ji Xing'er walked out of the house, Ji Shi'an told her the good news with excitement and relief.
However, when Ji Xing'er heard that she was admitted to Jiangnan University, her first reaction was not to be happy, but to frown slightly.
Ji Xing'er's expression was subtle, but Ji Shi'an still caught his eye. When he was about to ask, he was interrupted by the loudspeaker in the village.
"Folks! Folks! Our Jijia Village finally has a college student. Congratulations to Xiaoxing'er for being admitted to Jiangnan University in our Jiangnan City. You honor your ancestors! Today is truly a double happiness! The folks all gathered at the ancestral hall. In the evening
We’re going to have a big celebration!”
Ji Lianshan's voice came from the old broken loudspeaker in the village. Although the noise was loud, Mr. Ji Lianshan's excitement could not be concealed.
"The Xing'er girl is really up to par and didn't embarrass that child Xiao An."
"Yes! Yes! College students! Our village hasn't had a college student in many years."
"Let's go! Go to the ancestral hall quickly. You will have a good time tonight."
When the villagers heard the broadcast, they couldn't help but feel happy for Ji Xing'er from the bottom of their hearts.
Ji Shi'an also smiled, "Why is Grandpa Shan more excited than us?"
"Brother An! I also went to the ancestral hall to help, and there is delicious food again today!" Ji Hu also felt happy at the thought of having good food to eat.
"By the way, I gave the wild boar meat to my dad. My dad has already contacted someone to buy it. It should arrive soon. It costs 60 yuan per catty."
"Thank you Uncle Big Niu for me!"
Ji Shi'an said something to Ji Hu who ran away quickly, but he didn't know if the kid heard him.
60 yuan per kilogram of wild boar meat. Ji Shian also knew that Huzi’s father must have been a big help.
Generally, the market price of wild boar meat is 40 yuan. Although Qiyunshan's game meat is somewhat famous, it is not sold for 60 yuan. Huzi's father must have thought of a way for himself.
Ji Shi'an felt moved in his heart. Although Jijia Village was a poor place, everyone's hearts were warm. Ji Shi'an kept in mind everyone's kindness to him and his little sister.
