In the remote Mushroom Village, during the depths of winter when even a breath could freeze, everyone huddled indoors for warmth. Yet, two boys, one big and one small, shivered under the bushes at the foot of the mountain. 。Just as the two were about to become ice, a wild creature cautiously poked its head out. After making sure no one was around, it took small steps and began to search for food. 。There were some scattered grains on the ground, and a wild bird probably went crazy for it. It pecked at the grains and slowly walked towards the two boys. 。Ye suddenly felt the danger and flapped its wings to fly away, but two figures had already pounced on it. Ye flapped its wings desperately, struggling fiercely, but it was clearly in vain. 。"Brother, today we're so lucky, we finally caught a wild one. Today we can make soup for Nannan." 。A boy's voice spoke. 。"Well, you carry the firewood back later, and I'll carry the bundles of branches up front." 。Another boy's voice spoke up. 。The snow was deep, and the two of them trudged home step by step. Their hats were covered in white snow, and from afar they looked like two walking polar bears. 。In the distance, a wisp of fireworks rose slowly, its faint shadow gliding across the snow. 。。In the 21st century, Yan Xiaonan, at the age of 20, went to buy a cake at the large supermarket near her home on her birthday to celebrate. 。Let's take a look. It's still early, and the big screen is introducing the movies playing today. Might as well check it out. 。Unexpectedly, halfway through, the power went out. In the darkness, I was hit by something and lost consciousness. When I woke up, I was in the care of a farmer's grandson. 。There are many people in my family, including my parents, three older brothers, and a sister-in-law who is not yet married. 。Chen Xuemei, the unmarried sister-in-law, was acquired in exchange for twenty jin of corn flour. She became the wife of the elder brother, a young bride at the age of six. 。As the youngest in this family, I am the most pampered and cherished by everyone. 。"Cuiflower, you make some noodles with this bit of white flour for Nannan. It's the little girl's birthday today, and also fry up a poached egg." 。"Mom, could you give me some more white flour? Today is also your birthday, so let's make two bowls. I'll fry two eggs in them." 。"No, the little girl can't finish a whole bowl, I'll just eat the rest." 。Okay, Mom, I'm going now. 。Yan Xiaonan listened to her mother talking in the inner room. This family is really poor, the last bit of fine grain white flour was all fed into his own stomach. 。"Mother, we're back. " 。The voices of elder brother Dongnan and younger brother Xinan came from the doorway, followed by a creaking sound as the door swung open. 。Two people dashed into the house, it was simply too cold outside. They held their frozen hands over the fire pit, and the tension on their faces eased. 。I rummaged through the wicker basket lying on the ground, and under a bundle of twigs, I found a wild ?, quite big. With excitement, I shouted to Caihua. 。Cuiflower took a cane and ran out, “Mother, what’s wrong?” 。Before the words left his mouth, he saw his mother-in-law's hands holding a wild boar. He happily took it over and exclaimed, "Wow, what a good fellow! It's probably about five or six catties, right?" 。"Mother, half for soup, half for braising." 。"A worthless good-for-nothing, half of it is boiled in soup, the rest is buried in the snow and eaten on New Year's Eve." Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!。"Cuihua nodded, she was too extravagant, luckily she had her mother." 。Yan Xiaonan lay on the kang in the inner room and couldn't help but smile. Her mother was really something else. 。""The grain station has received food! I'm going to line up first!" Chen Xuemei, my future sister-in-law, said from outside the door. " 。As soon as he heard, he rushed back into the house and took out a handkerchief-wrapped package. He handed it to Southeast, who carefully put it in his pocket. Together with Southwest, they picked up the rice bag and basket and dashed out. 。Yan Xiaonan was a little sad. Every time the grain station distributed grain, it was based on speed. If she was late, it would be sold out. 。Books all say that there will be a golden finger when crossing, but unfortunately, after a year of pondering, I haven't found one. I'm not happy. 。An image of a large mountain appeared in his mind again. A colorful tiger was carrying a large rabbit toward its mouth. Perhaps it sensed something, and glanced in the direction of Yan Xiaonan. 。A pack of wolves was attacking a wild boar, which was already covered in blood and was likely to die soon. 。Looking at this wild boar, Yan Xiaonan thought about eating pork. If the wild boar died at their doorstep, it would be great. 。The wild boar suddenly turned, breaking through the pack of wolves' frenzied attack and dashing wildly downhill. In a blink, it disappeared. Yan Xiaonan sighed, these hallucinations seemed to be appearing more frequently lately. 。With a loud bang, the sound startled Cuihua, who was kneading dough in the kitchen, causing her to nearly drop her rolling pin. She quickly walked toward the door, and both of them stared at their front door in shock. 。A wild boar rammed into the front door of its own house and fell in the yard, covered in... 。Yan Xiaonan's father, Yan Xiaoqiang, who was stacking firewood, also came out. 。Seeing the wild boar, he didn't hesitate and found a rope to tie it securely. 。Looking up at the sky, today was Bao'er's birthday. Could it be that my dream was true? Was Bao'er a celestial being reincarnated from the heavens? 。Such a huge sound startled all the neighbors, who rushed over to see the commotion. When they saw at least two or three hundred pounds of wild boar in the yard, everyone envied and hated it. 。Oh, a wild boar! It's been years since I've tasted one. The old geezer at the head of the village started drooling and walked up to him with a fawning smile, saying, "Strong Brother, you're so lucky! Lend me some of your good fortune!" 。Yan Xiaoqiang hadn't spoken yet, when Zhang the Widow next door chimed in: "Southeast Mama, such a large wild boar, your family can't possibly finish it all, why don't you share it with everyone?" 。More and more villagers gathered behind. Some agreed with Widow Zhang, saying that it was good to have a share even if it's just a little, while others disagreed. They argued that the pigs were already in the courtyard, which belonged to someone else, so how could they claim a share? 。Seeing the chattering villagers, Cuihua and Jing woke up, but they were unhappy. 。These days, food is so expensive. You, a widow Zhang, want to take away my wild boar and fulfill your spring and autumn dreams? 。As the commotion grew louder, a villager invited the village head over. The village head looked at the circle of villagers surrounding the Yan family's doorstep and frowned. 。When the village head arrived, all the timid villagers instinctively went back. They didn't want to be divided among themselves, for the village head would use his smoking pipe to beat people. 。Dan boldly looked at the village head, hoping that the village head would say a few words to make him gain some advantage when he went back. 。The village head, surnamed Ma, was known for his fairness and integrity. He was deeply respected by the villagers. Looking at these gaunt villagers, he couldn't even bring himself to scold them. 。Seeing the village head arrive, Yan knew something was bound to happen today. He warmly invited the village head in and thought to himself, "I might as well kill the wild boar and share the meat with everyone." 。 |
