In rural areas in 1986, people got married very early.

In this era, people start working at an early age. For example, students who study in technical secondary schools are only 18 to 19 years old when they graduate. They are directly assigned jobs and still have the status of cadres.

Ordinary students cannot enter technical secondary school or high school, so most of them enter society early after graduating from elementary school or junior high school.

Wang Yuan is already quite old, so it is normal for his parents to be worried about his marriage.

night.

Father Wang and Mother Wang directly cooked meat to entertain Uncle Man and his wife. They were very happy that they could take the initiative to introduce their son to a blind date.

The meal lasted until after eight o'clock in the evening. In the end, Uncle Man was so drunk that his face was red, he was wearing a gray cloth coat, and he was shaking when he walked.

"With Xiao Yuan's Zhou Zheng appearance and his diligent character, I will definitely find him a beautiful girl." Grandma Man said with a smile.

Wang Yuan's face turned slightly red.

With a smile on her face, Mrs. Wang picked up the food for Grandma Man: "Then I'll leave it to Grandma Man."

After Mr. Man and his wife, grandparents and grandparents left, Wang Yuan's family became quiet. He gave the remaining money from selling fish to his parents, and Wang Yuan went to bed.

…

Wang Yuan was lying on the bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep. Crickets were chirping outside the window, and the moon's light shone on the quilt through the window.

In autumn, it is only hot at noon, but it is still very cold in the morning and at night, so you must cover yourself with a quilt.

He couldn't sleep, but the big white cat was lying on the right side of the pillow with its paws in its arms. It was sleeping soundly, snoring and snoring.

"Getting married... getting married... why do I think of the sisters I met before when I think of getting married? The blind date introduced by Grandma Man can't be one of them, right?"

Wang Yuan was in a daze and his mind was full of random thoughts. After a while, he woke up the big white cat, and the big white cat meowed angrily.

When it was almost dawn, Wang Yuan slowly fell asleep. When he woke up the next day, he had big black circles under his eyes, causing him to yawn repeatedly when he went fishing by the river.

A few days passed in the blink of an eye.

Wang Yuan has not been idle these days. Li Hang in the city helped him find a senior fitter, who helped him make some ground cages to catch fish. Now catching fish is much more convenient.

Just set up the cage in the morning and night, and put all the big fish you catch into the space. The fish won't be damaged in it anyway. You can just sell it when you have the opportunity.

It was really satisfying to catch more than 400 kilograms of fish in just a few days, but Wang Yuan knew that as time went by, the number of fish in the river would gradually decrease.

this day.

Mist covers the small mountain village.

Wang Yuan and his father Wang came back from pulling branches from the forest. They found many people gathered around the door of the third uncle's house, and they were talking a lot. When they got closer, they learned that this morning, the third uncle and Huzi went up the mountain to shoot a pine cone, and happened to hit a stupid pine cone.

Roe deer.

"This roe deer is quite big and can produce a lot of meat."

"Roe deer meat is delicious when stir-fried and made into steamed buns."

"Yes, yes, such a big roe deer is really rare."

Everyone stood in the courtyard of the third uncle's house, talking with hands folded, and letting out a puff of white air from their mouths.

The third uncle's voice was loud and he said with a smile: "Let's stay here for lunch and let's stew the roe deer meat!"

"Okay, let's have a drink together at the hour." Everyone responded enthusiastically.

Wang Yuan stood outside the fenced yard and his heart moved. He and his father quickly took the branches tied with ropes to his home, and then ran back to his third uncle's house.

The third uncle was standing next to a group of old men bragging. Wang Yuan thought about it and went directly to the third aunt.

"What's going on? What's the matter, Xiaoyuan?"

The third aunt was about to make pancakes with Bangzi noodles, and then she was pulled into the back room by Wang Yuan, her face full of confusion.

"Um... I have a friend in the city. He has told me a long time ago that he wants to buy roe deer meat. I guess the price will not be too low, so can you leave a roe deer leg for me? I will keep the money after selling it.

Give it to Third Aunty."

Wang Yuan glanced at his cousin "Wang Xiaohua" who had followed him. The latter was the same age as his biological sister "Wang Xiaodie", both 5 years old. She was as skinny as a bean sprout and her clothes were covered with patches.

Uncle San's family is much better off than Wang Yuan's family, but it's just that they have more food and they have bicycles at home.

In fact, we are also very short of money.

"Going to the city to sell roe deer legs? Won't you get caught?"

"You can't catch them if you sell them secretly." Wang Yuan said with a smile: "I'm just saying this. Third Aunt, if you don't want to sell the roe deer legs, then forget it."

After he finished speaking, he wanted to walk out, but his third aunt quickly stopped him: "No, no, no, no... I'm going to tell your third uncle right now."

The third aunt was completely tempted. There were very few ways to make money in rural areas these days. A penny would be like breaking it into an eight-petaled flower. Life was very miserable.

She thought, even if a roe deer leg could only be sold for 2 to 3 yuan, she would be satisfied as long as she could get 2 to 3 yuan.

Third Aunt walked out of the house in a hurry and went to find Third Uncle. As soon as she arrived next to Third Uncle, she heard that Aunt Hong wanted the last roe deer leg.

The third uncle was just about to agree, but he was embarrassed to refuse since someone else had spoken, but the third aunt quickly said: "No!"

The air was silent for a moment.

Everyone looked at Aunt Hong and then at Aunt Three, feeling that the atmosphere was a bit subtle.

The third aunt also felt that her refusal was too serious, so she laughed again and said:

"I want to give the last roe deer leg to my parents' family, so I'm sorry, I can't give it to you, Xiaohong. I'll give you some meat from other places. The roe deer meat from other places is also quite delicious."

"Forget it, sister-in-law, I don't want it anymore."

Aunt Hong was very angry after being rejected. She turned around and walked away with her child with a cold face.

"What are you doing? If she wants, just give her a leg. They are all relatives of the couple. It would look bad to make such a fuss." The third uncle felt a little embarrassed and whispered to the third aunt.

The third aunt felt very aggrieved. How could she be so picky when she wanted roe deer meat for free? Besides, she said that she would give her mother-in-law a leg, which was a very legitimate reason.

Why does it seem like I did something wrong in the end?

"Don't worry about it, it will save you money if she doesn't pull her down." The third aunt glared at the third uncle, turned around angrily and went into the house.

Wang Yuan saw everything, so he couldn't say anything, so he said hello to his third uncle and went home.

He didn't tell his third uncle about selling roe deer legs in front of everyone, otherwise his third uncle might disagree.

Many people in Wangjiatun have some "weird" thoughts. Everyone likes money, but they look down on people who like money very much.

If everyone knew that Uncle San's family was going to sell roe deer legs, there would probably be rumors saying: "Are you so greedy for money? Is a roe deer leg worth selling? Can you make a fortune by living such a budget-conscious life? Tsk~"

Gossip can cause mental stress and make people feel uncomfortable.

So Wang Yuan decided to just sell it quietly, there was no need for others to talk about it.

The four roe deer legs were all owned. The first leg was kept by the third uncle’s family to eat; the second leg was shared among the grandparents, second uncle’s family, and Wang Yuan’s family; and the third leg was given to a family in the village who had saved three roe deer legs.

Uncle's life; the fourth one was sold and claimed to be for the third aunt's natal family.

As soon as Wang Yuan returned home, his third aunt came quietly carrying a basket with a roe deer hind leg in it.

"Xiao Yuan, I brought you the roe deer legs. You can sell them for any price."

"Don't worry, Auntie, I will try my best to sell it at a high price. No matter what, I can get more than 10 yuan!" Wang Yuan said with a smile, but what he said was still very conservative.

"so much!?"

The third aunt couldn't help but take a breath of cold air, but she was immediately overjoyed and felt more and more that she had done the right thing.
