Chapter 141 Reasons for Eating Meat
Fortunately, they all carried backpacks when they went up the mountain. They put the meat in the backpacks and covered it with dry grass. In this weather, the meat froze soon after it was cut, and no blood flowed out, so they carried it down the mountain with confidence.
The pheasants and rabbits they had hunted earlier were also shared among them. This trip into the mountains was a great harvest.
On the way down the mountain, An Honglei warned his two younger brothers, "Ermao and Wangjia, if you eat meat at home, you must keep your mouths shut. If I hear anyone from your family talking nonsense outside, you can't play with me anymore."
"Don't worry, I won't take it home directly. I'll leave it somewhere for grandma to take back. I won't let anyone else in the family know that I took the venison back."
Zhou Wang's grandmother is the head of the family, and he is her most beloved grandson, so all he has to do is tell his grandmother. This is what he did when he brought the meat home before. His parents may have guessed something, but he didn't admit it or force him. They just wanted to eat the meat.
"My family won't tell anyone." Ermao's family is simple, with only seven people in their family, including his parents, an older brother, an older sister, and two younger and ignorant siblings.
An Honglei also knew about their family's situation, but he still had to remind them, otherwise if someone told others about it, it would be a troublesome matter for him.
After all, the deer is considered a large prey, unlike small ones like pheasants and rabbits. Whoever catches it owns it, and according to regulations, it must be handed over to the collective.
They had dug a separate underground cellar in their home to store the meat, separate from the one they usually used. The same operation was done in the first and second rooms.
In the past six months, the An family has never lacked meat. Even those who play with the brother and sister can eat meat from time to time every month, but those are small animals that are hunted outside for them.
However, several people were eliminated from their small group, and now there are only 11 people playing together. They have no plans to absorb other people for the time being.
These people were all screened by An Xueyan. They were all considered to be okay based on their personality, character, family background and other aspects. She planned to take them out when there was an opportunity in the future. Even if they failed to get into university, she could arrange for them to do other things, which would also be a helper for their family's business in the future.
Of course, she never told these thoughts to anyone else, only she knew them. Her brother completely listened to her when it came to who she didn't want to play with.
The six people chose a road that few people passed by to go down the mountain, so they didn't meet anyone when they reached the foot of the mountain. When they passed the cowshed, they saw Yang Zhiqian and Liao Yanlun cleaning the yard.
Hearing the noise, he looked up at the children and then lowered his head expressionlessly. The brother and sister had no intention of saying hello and walked past the gate like strangers.
An Jinbao said with emotion: "Actually, these people are quite low-key. If I didn't see them occasionally, I would have thought they didn't exist."
An Xueyan glanced at her cousin and said, "The cadres in our brigade are not the kind of people who like to stir up trouble. It's good enough that they can live a low-key life."
"That's right, Yanyan, what are you planning to eat when you go back? How about we go to the old house and eat together?" An Jinbao looked at his little cousin and discussed.
An Xueyan directly exposed his little thoughts and said, "You want to eat the food cooked by your aunt, right? Hehe, go and discuss it with your grandma and the others. In fact, Jinbao brother, you can learn to cook by yourself. It will definitely taste better than the cooking of your second aunt."
"Oh, I want to too, but Mom won't let me into the kitchen. Besides, she keeps a close eye on the food at home. She only takes out a little each time and I never feel satisfied." He is in the period of growing up and gets hungry after a while of eating.
"Didn't you ask your second uncle to take action?"
"Well, my dad is busy sometimes, so he can't take care of us every day. Anyway, he has a stutter."
An Xueyan looked at her cousin with sympathy. Their family had enough meat to eat, yet he looked so pitiful. He was lucky to have such a stingy mother.
"Second aunt couldn't bear to eat it, where did the meat go?"
"Where else can we go? To earn some pocket money." An Jinbao whispered to An Xueyan.
As expected, stingy people like money. This is also a talent.
An Xueyan said seriously, "Brother Jinbao, you'd better have a good talk with Second Uncle and Second Uncle's wife. Now is the critical period for your growth. If you don't get enough nutrition, you won't grow tall. No matter how much you supplement in the future, it will be useless because your height only grows in these few years."
Looking at my cousin's thin body, I still said this: if you have the means but don't eat well, it will be useless to regret it later.
"Isn't height hereditary? Is it also related to diet?" An Jinbao asked in confusion. He had always thought so.
"In addition to the factors inherited from parents, there are also external factors, which requires food to replenish energy. Do you often feel leg cramps? This is a signal from your body. Eat more eggs, meat, vegetables and other things."
"That's exactly what happened to me. I thought it was normal and didn't pay much attention to it. No, I have to take more supplements when I go back, otherwise I really won't grow taller in the future."
He felt a little panicked after hearing what An Xueyan said. He didn't care how tall he would be, but he had to be taller than his father.
He is only 1 meters tall now, and I don’t know if he can catch up with his father who is 6 meters tall.
The boys listened carefully to their conversation. Ermao and Zhou Wangjia thought about going back and telling their parents that they also needed to eat more good food.
"Yan Yan, is it the same for us girls?" An Qiuxiang asked curiously.
An Xueyan nodded in affirmation, "It's the same principle. Malnutrition causes many girls to be between 1 and 5 meters tall. It's rare for someone to grow to 1 meters, except for a few due to genetics. It also has something to do with the food at home. Eating less and working more will lead to this."
Anyway, she needs to replenish enough energy. No matter what, she can't be shorter than the 165cm in her previous life. In this life, her genes should allow her to be taller if nothing unexpected happens.
A few people walked and chatted as they walked home. Ermao and the other man separated from them at a fork in the road and went home.
The cousin and his sister came into the yard excitedly carrying baskets on their backs. An Xueyan and his sister heard the cousin calling out to mom and dad outside the yard. They guessed that he was going to get a chance to eat meat.
Now they have a legitimate reason, and they don’t believe that their mother won’t give them food.
Regardless of the second house's decision, the brother and sister returned to the old house and carried the backpack into the house.
An Honglei placed the backpack on the edge of the kang and opened it to show the people on the kang: "Grandpa, grandma, and aunt, we were lucky enough to kill two deer today. We will have a deer feast tonight."
