Chapter 16 Game

   Chapter 16 Game

   Zhao nodded: "Yes."

   She knew that the biggest difficulty in their small family was not starvation, but the fact that winter was approaching, and the family had no winter clothes for winter.

  Because I don’t have money, I can’t buy cotton and cloth. How can I survive the severe cold in winter?

   Those who can make money can only rely on those wild chestnuts.

   Su Saburo patted Su Xiaolu's head again, and then left the house, and soon came the sound of him breaking the bamboo.

There was also the laughter of Su Chong, Su Hua and Su Sanmei playing together, Zhao shi looked at Su Xiaolu beside him tenderly, her eyes were soft, and she said softly, "Fourth sister, our family will definitely get through it, right? "

  Su Xiaolu looked at Zhao, opened his mouth and smiled at Zhao.

   Of course it will get better and better.

   The baby's innocent smile, like the sweetest nectar in the world and the warmest sunshine in the morning, suddenly made Zhao's heart sweet and warm.

  Su Saburo, who was outside the house, quickly broke a lot of bamboo, and then broke the bamboo strips again until they became thin bamboo threads, and then began to weave the bottom.

   And Su Sanmei was playing with her two older brothers playing rocks. It was raining outside, so she couldn't go out.

   For two hours in the afternoon, Su Saburo was weaving silk baskets. When it was getting dark, the rain stopped.

  Su Saburo looked at the sky before it got dark, so he got up and said to Su Sanmei: "Sanmei, Dad is going out, do you know that you are watching at home?"

   Su Sanmei raised her head to look at Su Saburo, and nodded her head obediently: "Well, don't worry, Dad, I know."

  Su Saburo said to his two sons again, "Brother Hua, brother Chong, be careful not to run around at home, you have to listen to your sister, do you know?"

  Su Chong and Su Hua nodded, then they looked at Su Sanmei expectantly and motioned her to hurry up, they haven't had enough of playing with the rocks.

  Su Saburo smiled slightly, turned around and went out.

   He wanted to take a look at those traps before it got dark, maybe there would be something to gain.

   has expectations in his heart, but he knows that most of them will be empty, and things in the mountains are not easy to grasp, so they are shrewd.

   When he was about to reach the first trap, Su Saburo heard the sound of flapping his wings. He first paused, then ecstatically, ran over like a gallop.

   His movements startled a black-haired and green-tailed pheasant in the trap. Its wings flapped even more fiercely. It wanted to fly, but was trapped by the ropes of its feet.

  Su Saburo also pounced on the pheasant and hugged the pheasant tightly.

  The rope was carefully placed and used to tie the pheasant wings. Su Saburo happily whispered: "Thank God."

   But what Su Saburo didn't expect was still behind.

   In the second trap, there is a turtle dove, the third trap is empty, but the bugs have been eaten, and the trap is also destroyed, the fourth and fifth traps have harvested a pheasant and a hare.

   The sixth and seventh traps are empty, and the bait is also eaten and the trap is destroyed.

   The eighth, ninth, and tenth traps, harvested two hares and a turtledove.

   After reading all the traps, he went back, he was already full of harvest, Su Saburo couldn't close his mouth with a smile, he felt as if his feet were stepping on the clouds.

  In the past, after the autumn harvest every year, Mr. Su would also bring his brothers into the mountains to make a few traps. It would be good to catch one or two hares a year.

   And this time, he didn't miss every trap, he was still alive, he sold it, he could sell it for some money.

   Before entering the room, Su Saburo happily called out to Mrs. Zhao: "Baby Niang, Baby Niang, get up and take a look."

   Su Sanmei and Su Chong Su Hua had already heard the sound and ran out. Looking at the pheasant and hare that Su Sablang was carrying, they exclaimed, "Wow, that's a lot, daddy."

Zhao Shi had already sat up, and before she could get out of bed, Su Saburo had already carried her into the room and said happily, "Look, my dear, I just saw the traps, and they all have them. I grabbed three of them. A hare, two pheasants, and two turtledoves are still alive, and I will drown these two turtledoves for you to make stew for a while."

​​​​​

  There are some hairy chestnuts at home. With these wild game, I can exchange some money. With money, I can buy cotton and cloth. Thinking about it, the sorrow cloud in Zhao's heart has dispersed.

Su Saburo knew that Zhao Shi was worried, he looked at Zhao Shi gently and said: "You can still earn money, two turtledoves have no meat, and they are not worth much. The stewed soup will make up for your body, and let the third sister and the others follow. Take a sip, and I'll go to town tomorrow to see which family uses firewood."

   "My dear, don't say anything, just listen to me. Let's eat game today. The bait for the trap is still the bug caught by the third sister. Why should I reward my daughter?"

  Su Saburo touched Su Sanmei who was standing beside him after entering the room.

  Su Chong Suhua's eyes fell on the pheasant and the hare from the moment he entered the house, licking his mouth and swallowing saliva.

   Su Sanmei swallowed her saliva, raised her head and said softly, "Dad, I don't eat, I'm not greedy."

   Looking at his well-behaved daughter, Su Saburo felt sour in his heart.

   Poor people, how can anyone not be greedy for meat?

Zhao's eyes were also a little distressed. She thought of the days when there was no separation. When eating, it was not their turn to eat meat. In Wang's eyes, Su Sanmei was a loser and should be drowned when she was born. Shi all felt that it was irritating to the eyes, and he couldn't eat more rice, how could he eat meat.

   Susanmei would be scolded if she looked at the meat one more time.

   Thinking of this, Mrs. Zhao felt a pain in her heart. Her eyes were slightly moist. She looked at Su Saburo and said, "Father, you are right. Thanks to the diligent work of the third sister, we will eat turtledoves tonight."

  Su Sanlang rubbed Su Sanmei's hair and said, "Sanmei is going to make a fire. Brother Hua, Brother Chong, comes with Dad to help Dad lock up the rabbits and pheasants."

  Su Chong and Su Hua applauded and followed Su Saburo happily.

  Su Sanmei also went to the stove to make a fire and boil water.

   After Su Saburo and his two sons settled the hare and pheasant, he drowned the two turtledoves with water, scalded them in hot water, and then began to shed their hair.

  Su Sanmei is a good helper who is diligent and has already cooked the rice.

   Rare game, Su Sanlang was reluctant to throw away the intestines of the bird, he washed them, chopped them into large pieces and cooked them in one pot.

   It didn't take long for the rich meat aroma to float into everyone's nose.

  Su Xiaolu also smelled it, she was very happy, the insects with aura are loved by birds, which means that in the future, Su Saburo will make traps, and in all likelihood he will not go empty.

   If you have a harvest, you can change money, and when you change money, your life will be better.

  After dinner was ready, Su Saburo brought a bowl of broth to Mrs. Zhao. Mrs. Zhao saw so much meat and was reluctant to eat it. She said, "I don't need to eat so much, let's eat it for the children."

   said, she called Su Sanmei: "Sanmei come in."
