My Wife Is the Capitalist Heiress of the 1970s - Chapter 34

During dinner, Zhou Wenshan asked, “Dad, are we going up the mountain again tomorrow?”

Zhou Yuanchao glanced at him, shook his head and said, “I won’t go tomorrow. I’ll rest for a day and go the day after tomorrow!”

Zhou Wenshan picked up a piece of pork kidney, frowned slightly, and said, “It smells much worse than the kidneys from farmed pigs!”

I took one bite and then stopped eating.

Only Zhou Yuanchao and Zhou Wenhai kept picking up the pork kidneys with their chopsticks, as if they were some kind of delicacy!

Zhou Wenshan said, “Dad, I’d like to go up the mountain by myself tomorrow, is that alright?”

Zhou Yuanchao paused, his chopsticks poised to pick up some food. “I don’t think that will work!”

Liu Cuihua glared at him and said, “Do you think you’re your father? You’ve only been up the mountain a few times and you dare to go alone? Not to mention the wild boars on that mountain, encountering tigers and leopards is no joke!”

Zhou Wenshan lowered his head and remained silent.

After talking about Zhou Wenshan, Liu Cuihua looked at Chen Wan and said, “Xiao Wan, just live a good life here. Don’t worry too much about your family. Your father knows what’s going on. In a few days, find a time when no one is around and go over to deliver some things. Take a pig’s leg with you too!”

Upon hearing Liu Cuihua’s words, Chen Wan’s eyes filled with tears. “Thank you, Mom! Thank you, Dad!”

It’s been 75 years now. Although we’re not as harsh on these “five black categories” as we were a few years ago, and they weren’t constantly being paraded through the streets and criticized, it still has a bad influence. Going there once in a while is fine, but if they go every day, it will cause a lot of gossip!

Generally, people would avoid it at all costs to avoid getting involved in trouble!

So Chen Wan never expected Liu Cuihua to say such a thing; she was actually covering for their family!

When it was time to sleep at night, Chen Wan was exceptionally proactive, which made Zhou Wenshan feel extremely comfortable.

Afterwards, Zhou Wenshan put his arm around Chen Wan and asked, “What if she gets pregnant?”

Chen Wan squinted and hummed twice, “If you’re pregnant, just give birth to the baby!”

…

The next day, Zhou Wenshan didn’t go out; he stayed home practicing his skill of throwing stones as projectiles!

At noon, there was a “click” sound!

The stone, the size of a washbasin, actually split in two!

Zhou Yuanchao, who had been sitting to the side watching him practice, was truly stunned by this!

Although I knew that the stones thrown by Wenshan were quite powerful, I never thought they could break the stone in two!

Even if he used a hunting rifle, at a distance of more than ten meters, he might not be able to crack this rock even after twenty or thirty shots!

Zhou Wenshan had a premonition. He practiced throwing stones today and was able to hit the egg-sized aiming point almost nine times out of ten!

Moreover, the force of the strikes is getting greater and greater, and the feel is getting better and better!

Basically, he can tell whether a stone has missed its target as soon as he makes a move!

The sound grew deeper and deeper, losing the crisp sound it had at the beginning, and sometimes it would even shatter pebbles!

When the two arrived at the stone, they found that it was not only broken into two pieces, but also had many cracks inside the two pieces!

Zhou Yuanchao stared at the stone for a long time, then patted Zhou Wenshan on the shoulder, “Wenshan, from now on, the job of gutting and bleeding people when we go hunting in the mountains will be yours!”

Zhou Wenshan was taken aback, then nodded vigorously, “Dad, I understand!”

He knew that Zhou Yuanchao was slowly teaching him how to hunt!

The next day, we went up the mountain, but we didn’t encounter much prey. We only managed to kill a roe deer and a rabbit!

Zhou Wenshan personally performed the bloodletting and disembowelment!

I almost got blood all over his face!

Although the harvest wasn’t as plentiful as the previous two days, it was still pretty good. A single roe deer can fetch twenty or thirty yuan.

As for the rabbit, after Zhou Yuanchao went to town to sell the roe deer, he came back and instructed Zhou Wenshan to skin the rabbit!

That silly roe deer sold for 26 yuan! They’ve only gone hunting a few times this month and already earned 60 yuan!

And there was even a baby wild boar left to eat by itself!

We can’t go so frequently anymore, or people will be envious!

Zhou Yuanchao plans to go up the mountain again in three to five days!

Zhou Wenshan did not go to the fields to earn work points. He had told Zhou Yuanchao that he wanted to go hunting in the mountains with him in the future.

Zhou Yuanchao pondered it all night and did not object.

Because he could also tell that Zhou Wenshan was quite interested in these things on the mountain, and that he was also quite strong, able to carry a wild boar weighing over 200 pounds without even breaking a sweat.

Add to that Zhou Wenshan’s exceptional skill with hidden stones, and he’s a born hunter!

I took some time to go to the police station to register him and get him a gun license. We’re not well-off right now, so we won’t buy a gun for now. We’ll just make do with the two of us having one!

However, Zhou Wenshan wasn’t particularly interested in the hunting rifle!

He felt that his hidden weapon skills still had great potential to be explored!

Anyway, he doesn’t go down to the fields anymore. When he’s not on the mountain, he practices his hidden weapon skills at home!

His physique grew stronger day by day, and with good food, he gradually developed muscles and was no longer the skinny guy he used to be!

Even now, Chen Wan likes to hug him while sleeping at night!

That evening, after dinner, Liu Cuihua stopped Zhou Wenshan and Chen Wan. Amid their puzzled looks, she took out a pig’s leg and gave it to them. “Wenshan, Xiaowan, this is the leg of that wild boar from a few days ago. I’ve already marinated it. You can take it to your in-laws now, along with these ten catties of cornmeal!”

Chen Wan hasn’t been home for almost a week. She’s been thinking of going back to visit these past few days, but she doesn’t know how to bring it up!

At this moment, Liu Cuihua took the initiative to speak, saying that she was overjoyed and deeply moved as she looked at the prepared items.

Before she could say anything, Zhou Wenshan chuckled and picked up the things, “Thanks, Mom. I’ll bring a big wild boar down from the mountain next time! Xiao Wan, let’s go. Don’t be so polite with Mom. If you really want to thank me, give me a big, healthy son someday, and Mom will be so happy!”

Chen Wan blushed instantly. “Oh no! Zhou Wenshan, how dare you say that in front of Mom!”

Upon hearing this, Liu Cuihua’s eyes lit up. “Great! This is great! Keep up the good work, and I’ll be able to hold my grandson someday!”

Although she was a little shy and annoyed, Chen Wan was still very happy walking outside!

There are hardly any people on the streets at night; it’s pitch black, and nobody visits each other at this time!

Chen Wan stretched out her hand and said to Zhou Wenshan, “Give me the cornmeal!”

Zhou Wenshan glanced at her and did not refuse!

Zhou Wenshan held a pig’s leg in his right hand, while Chen Wan carried cornmeal in her left.

In the pitch-black night, Chen Wan touched Zhou Wenshan’s right hand, but Zhou Wenshan grabbed it. Chen Wan held it back, and the two walked hand in hand toward the cowshed!
