Traveling through time and space, wanting to lie down, but being forced to move forward

Chapter 159 Wild Boar Skin

After receiving instructions from his aunt, Tiedan ran towards the team's canteen.

The big canteen was built when everyone was eating from one big pot. Later, the canteen was cancelled, but the team was reluctant to demolish the nice building, so it just remained idle.

Because the area is large, whenever the team slaughters pigs or hunts a lot of prey and divides the meat, it is done here.

The stove and big pot are ready here, and the pig-killing dishes are also cooked here.

When Tiedan arrived here, he saw his grandmother Wu Sufen stuffing blood sausage with a group of aunts and sisters-in-law.

Approaching Wu Sufen, Tiedan carefully told her his aunt's instructions.

Wu Sufen nodded and agreed without hesitation, "That's all. OK, I got it."

An old lady nearby looked at the actions of Wu Sufen and her grandson and asked curiously, "Sufen, what did your little grandson say to you?

It's so mysterious, are you afraid that we won't know about it?"

Someone nearby joked, "Tiedan, did you pick up some money?"

“I don’t think he picked up the money, but Tiedan peed his pants.

He was afraid that his mother would scold him, so he ran to his grandmother to help him clean up the mess."

When everyone heard this, they all burst into laughter.

"Tiedan, are you ashamed? You are such a grown-up, but you still wet your pants."

"Tiedan, how are you going to find a wife in the future if you're like this?"

Tiedan blushed with shame when being laughed at by these grandmothers and aunts.

"Don't talk nonsense, I didn't wet my pants."

“Then you didn’t wet your pants, what did you whisper to your grandma.

I must have done something that is not good for others to know.”

"No," Tiedan turned his head and said to Wu Sufen, "Grandma, please tell them that I didn't do anything shameful."

Wu Sufen was also watching her grandson's joke at the time. Seeing that he was getting anxious, she waited until she had laughed enough before stepping out to help him out.

"Okay, just tease him for a while. If he gets too angry, I won't be responsible for comforting him." Wu Sufen stopped everyone with a smile.

Someone asked curiously, "What are you two whispering about?"

Wu Sufen was thinking about how to get things done, and when she saw someone asking her about it, she naturally told them about it.

"My daughter Guiying went to deliver some vegetables to Xiaoxue yesterday and asked her if her leather boots for winter were ready.

I didn’t expect that this child had no idea how deep the snow is here in winter, and thought he could go out wearing only cotton shoes.

Only when Guiying said that did he panic.

But she didn’t know how to make leather boots, so she asked my family to help her make a few pairs of boots, saying that she wanted to send them to her brothers who were in the army.

Wu Sufen sighed, "She also needs to prepare some leather boots. She just went up the mountain today to hunt some sheep and deer.

Unexpectedly, the children were blocked by wild boars. "

Wu Sufen lowered her voice and said to the people around her, "Do you think it is the ancestors of our village who are blessing these children?

According to what the children said, if Xiaoxue had gone a little later, the children would have been hurt.”

"Who says it isn't?

I think we should avoid people at night and secretly burn some paper money for our ancestors to thank them."

People began to criticize those who wanted to destroy the four olds, break feudal superstitions, and even forbid the worship of ancestors, saying how inhumane they were.

The topic had deviated again. Wu Sufen was thinking about how to bring it back when someone offered to help her.

"So what does this have to do with what Tiedan was whispering to you?"

Wu Sufen explained, "My husband asked Guiying to call Xiaoxue and ask her to come over to share the meat.

She said Guiying said that she didn’t catch any prey today, so she would go up the mountain again tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, and if she caught any prey, she would send the skins to my house.”

"Here we have wild boar skin, which is excellent leather for making boots. Why go hunting again?

We killed six wild boars at once, and the bloody smell will take several days to dissipate. It is not safe to go into the mountains at this time." Someone said puzzledly.

Wu Sufen smiled and said, "That kid doesn't know that pig skin can be used to make leather boots.

She heard Guiying talking about sheepskin and deerskin yesterday and thought that only those two kinds of leather could be used to make leather boots.

Later, Guiying told her about it, and she realized that pig skin could also be used to make boots.

But the child was honest and thought that the wild boar belonged to the team, and the pig skin also belonged to the team, and she had to get some other skin to make boots. "

“She killed all six wild boars, so it’s no big deal to ask for the skins to make boots.

Besides, every household in our team needs leather."

"Yes, this child is too honest and easy to suffer."

"This kid did a great favor to our village last time when he caught a human trafficker, and this time he saved so many children in our village.

We have to be careful and not let her suffer any loss."

Wu Sufen nodded and said, "My Guiying thought the same thing, so she sent Tiedan over to ask me to tell the villagers to leave two pieces of leather for Xiaoxue to make boots.

It also saves her the trouble of going up the mountain again.

Although she is very capable, there are so many prey in the mountains, and no matter how powerful she is, she is not absolutely safe."

"Sufen, don't waste any more time here. Go over there and tell the officials to spare Liu Zhiqing's skin.

I don't think that kid knows how to tan, and since the men have nothing to do anyway, let them help with the tanning."

Wu Sufen nodded and said, "Okay, you guys go ahead and get busy.

I'll go over and tell them and I'll be there shortly."

The team leader and the village cadres were leading people to weigh the slaughtered wild boars, calculate the total amount of wild boar meat, and arrange how to distribute the meat to the villagers.

Wu Sufen went over and told them that Liu Jingxue needed leather to make leather boots.

Accountant Li was the first to say, "Why don't we give all these leathers to Liu Zhiqing? Our team members don't need them."

The captain said quickly, “It’s not appropriate to give it all to her.

Most of the families in our team have enough fur, but there are a few who do, so we have to leave some for them."

Wu Sufen said quickly, "She doesn't need that much.

If I give her all of it, it’s inevitable that someone will have objections and cause her trouble.”

Secretary Xu said, "Sufen, didn't you say she asked you to help make boots? Then calculate how much leather she needs to make those boots, and we will give her enough.

The rest will be given to other people in need in the village.”

"That's good. Others won't be interested." The captain nodded in agreement.

Wu Sufen thought for a moment and said, "Two large wild boar skins are enough for her pairs of boots."

The captain made the decision, "Then give her the two big ones, and see who among the villagers wants the rest."

"Then it's settled. Don't give away those two skins.

I will come and get it when the time comes and make leather boots for her,” Wu Sufen reminded.

"Don't worry, I won't change my mind."

Wu Sufen went back and continued to stuff the blood sausage.

Someone asked her, "Sufen, has the leather issue been finalized?"

"It's been agreed."
