Chapter 166 Visiting Shen Heng at the Old House
Shen Yuan finally fell asleep in Su Wanwan's arms.
He was really sleepy after not sleeping all night.
Seeing that he was soundly asleep, Su Wanwan got up carefully.
She wasn't too sleepy, after all, she had slept well in the first half of the night.
As soon as she stood up, she saw her uncle rushing over to ask about the situation. Only then did she know that her second cousin Shen Heng was also injured, and it was a fractured bone, which was even more serious than Shen Yuan's injury.
When the wild boar came down the mountain, Shen Heng was at home. The wild boar had knocked open the door and was looking for food here and there. No one said anything, and the wild boar would not bump into anyone.
Unexpectedly, a wild boar ran into the house where Shen Heng and his friends were. Sun Ye Zi had hidden a lot of food, and the wild boar discovered it and started to eat it.
Sun Ye Zi was frightened. Seeing that the dry food and snacks she had hidden were about to end up in the wild boar's stomach, she suddenly became mad and picked up a stick to hit it. As a result, the wild boar went crazy and attacked her.
Shen Heng was injured while trying to save Sun Ye Zi.
And it's not just a minor bone fracture, it's quite serious. Doctor Liu said I have to stay in bed for at least three months.
The aunt-in-law was so angry that she scolded Sun Ye Zi.
Their food was hidden in the cellar, so there was little food in the house. The wild boars would eat it up, and at most they would just make the house a little messy.
If the wild boar runs out of food, it will naturally leave.
No one dared to move. When the wild boar entered the kitchen looking for food, Zhang Cuihua specifically told everyone not to provoke the wild boar.
As a result, Sun Ye Zi brought disaster upon herself and implicated her son!
Su Wanwan also sighed after hearing this.
You said that Dongzi's family was poor, and the wheat drying in the threshing floor happened to be his family's wheat, so it was understandable that he was reluctant to give away so much wheat.
My uncle's family had already put the grain into the cellar a long time ago. In order to prevent refugees from stealing food, everyone stored the food in the cellar these days and only took it out when needed. How much food could there be in the cellar?
The wild boar would just eat it, and besides, my uncle’s family had enough food stored, so they didn’t need it.
Everything is more important than human life, and everyone knows this.
But who knew that Sun Yezi actually had food hidden in the house.
Just hide the food, but why do she want to kill a wild boar? Does she think she can kill a wild boar?
Shen Songqing felt relieved when he saw that Shen Yuan's condition was less severe, and immediately went out to get busy.
Everyone in the village gathered together and first helped deliver all the grain from the wheat field back to each household. This time, thanks to Shen Yuan's command, not much grain was lost.
After all the food has been sorted, it’s time to deal with the wild boars.
A total of 28 wild boars were killed in various parts of the village, and six piglets were captured.
All of them were gathered in the threshing floor, ready for collective slaughter.
As the village head, Liu Daping was supposed to report this year's wheat harvest to his superiors as all the wheat had been harvested today.
The superiors would then report this to the county, and the county would send people from the Agriculture Department to check it out and collect tax grain.
Because of the disaster this year, the county magistrate is also paying special attention to this year's harvest. It is certain that there will be no harvest north of Tongxu County. Tongxu County is the boundary of drought, so the grain harvest is particularly important.
Liu Daping did not dare to delay, so he had someone slaughter the wild boar. He then wrote a letter and asked his son to deliver it to the head of the town.
The harvest had been counted long ago. This year's wheat yield was only one-third of last year's. The wheat was dry and the grains were small, so they could not be saved for seeds.
In addition to the output, he also reported on this year's wheat harvest.
Because of the availability of wheat sledgehammers and flails, and the addition of a cow to the village, the wheat harvest was completed ten days earlier this year than in previous years.
Of course, he did not take credit for it. To be honest, Mai Shan and Lian Jia were both ideas of Su Wanwan, and the cow also belonged to Shen Yuan's family.
At the same time, he also talked about the incident of wild boars coming down the mountain to steal food. In order to protect the food in the wheat field, many villagers were injured. Shen Yuan’s contribution was not missed, and he explained it clearly.
The men in the village were not seriously injured, and when they saw so many wild boars, the heavy atmosphere finally eased a little.
These are all meat.
With so much meat, there should be enough for each family to share.
If the bacon is made into meat, it can be eaten for a long time, so you don’t have to worry about having no meat in years of famine.
In any case, the weather is hot and these wild boars need to be dealt with as soon as possible.
So all the uninjured men came on stage and started slaughtering the animals. The whole village was filled with a strong smell of blood.
There was only silt left in the river, but fortunately there was a large pond in the village, where some water had been stored before the river dried up, and the water was used to deal with the wild boar.
Seeing that their father was fine, Xiao Yunyi and Xiao Yue'er ran to the wheat field to watch the fun. Shen Zhao didn't like to watch the fun and hid in the house reading a book.
The weather was hot. Su Wanwan looked at the water tank at home. After filling it up, she thought about the sweet potatoes grown in the sandy soil and ran to take a look.
While everyone's attention was on the wheat field, she secretly ran around the sweet potato field and put water in it.
Then he ran to the village pond and put some water into it when no one was around.
Although the well in this space is not a spiritual spring, it can supply water continuously, which is really useful in this drought.
So, when the people who slaughtered the wild boar came to fetch water again, they always felt that there seemed to be more water.
After doing all this, Su Wanwan called Xiao Yue'er and Xiao Yunyi, and went back to take Shen Zhao to the old house.
The second cousin was injured and Shen Yuan was lying in bed unable to move. Her uncle had come to see Shen Yuan, so she should go and see him as well.
Especially Shen Zhao, who has lived in the old house for so many years and has deep feelings for it.
They picked up some eggs and a few handfuls of mung beans, and then arrived at the old house with one adult and three children.
Zhang Cuihua saw that they were still carrying things and complained:
"You're here, but what are you bringing? We don't like this right now. Besides, Shen Yuan is injured. Take it back and give it to Shen Yuan."
Since Su Wanwan had brought it, there was no reason to take it back, so she put it on the table.
"It's for my second brother, auntie, how is he?"
Zhang Cuihua glanced at Shen Heng's room, her eyes reddened, but she sighed.
"You have to stay in bed for a few months. Fortunately, you and the children are fine. I also heard that wild boars also went to your house?"
Su Wanwan nodded:
"Well, thanks to my husband who came back in time and spread the food to lure away the wild boars."
Zhang Cuihua sighed again. Shen Yuan was a capable man and he was steady in his work.
Because Shen Heng was a man, Su Wanwan naturally couldn't go into the house to visit him, so Shen Zhao took Xiao Yunyi into the house.
"God damn it, why am I so miserable? My husband is the only one in the village who is seriously injured. How can I live like this?"
Sun Ye Zi's shouting came from that room, and Su Wanwan frowned when she heard it.
Those who heard this sound would only feel that their man was breaking, but those who didn't would think that their man was dead.
As expected, Zhang Cuihua's face darkened, and she ran to the door and started cursing:
"Your husband isn't dead yet, why are you howling? If you keep crying, go back to your old Sun family and cry for your father. Why can't you live like this? You should serve your husband well. If you have any evil thoughts, I will break your legs."
Su Wanwan felt that the atmosphere was not right, but looking at her aunt's fighting ability, she seemed not afraid that she would suffer any loss.
Sure enough, if you want your second sister-in-law to stop causing trouble, you have to rely on your aunt-in-law.
