4. The Most Outstanding Youngest Son in the Early 1980s (4)

The next morning, Ji Changze got up early and went out for a few more laps.

He went up the mountain and waited for a while, made a small bow and arrow with branches and vines, and really squatted down a pheasant.

The pheasant was dead when it was shot down. Ji Changze just picked it up, thought about it, turned around and removed the vines on the bow and arrow, and wrapped it around its neck a few times.

Seeing its new shape, Ji Changze nodded with satisfaction.

Now, this pheasant has changed from a pheasant that died from a small bow and arrow.

It has become a pheasant that was strangled to death.

The death seems to have become more decent.

The pheasant must be very grateful to him.

Congratulations.

When he was carrying the pheasant home, he happened to run into the Ji family.

Ji's father and mother thought that their youngest son was still sleeping in like before, but they were shocked to see him coming in from the door with a pheasant in his hand.

"Changze, where did this pheasant come from?"

Father Ji looked similar to Ji Changguang, and he was also honest. He asked directly when he saw the pheasant.

Mother Ji was more cunning than her husband. As soon as she saw Ji Changze holding a pheasant in his hand, she immediately stood up and hurriedly closed the door.

Although it is not as strict as before, it is okay for people like Uncle Ji Qi to go up the mountain to get mountain products from time to time, but how can mountain products be the same as pheasants?

This is meat!!

Now, except for the pork distributed during the Chinese New Year, everyone can't get any oil and water for the whole year. To be honest, they are so greedy for meat that they wish they could treat a mouse as a treasure.

But now the year is not good, and mice are not seen.

After closing the door, Ji's mother quickly came to Ji Changze's side: "Yes, Changze, where did this pheasant come from?"

Ji Changze threw the pheasant to the ground. His face was filled with the familiar complacency of the Ji family, and he said, "I caught it, Dad, Mom, let me tell you, how else can I be said to be promising? Today I woke up early in the morning and went out to the hut. As soon as I came out, I heard a pheasant crowing. It was so noisy that I couldn't sleep anyway. So I went up the mountain and followed the rooster's crow. ”

As he said that, he kicked the chicken on the ground: "As soon as I saw it, I immediately became excited. When I got up, I started to chase it, and it started running. Can it outrun me? It Two legs. I also have two legs. My legs are longer than its own. No, after my own efforts, I caught this pheasant. No, I strangled it and brought it back. "

After listening to Ji Changze's bragging, no one in the Ji family present believed it.

Don’t they know what Ji Changze is like? He has been weak since he was a child. He cannot outrun even a human being, let alone a flying pheasant.

Ji Changguang knelt down and picked up the pheasant and looked at it. He found that there were vine-like weeds wrapped around its neck. He looked up at his brother naively and said, "Naganze, this pheasant seemed to have died because it was entangled in weeds."

"Oh, is it so?"

Ji Changze's expression did not change, and he immediately changed his story: "I remembered it wrong just now. In fact, it was killed by wrapping vines around its neck."

oh……

The Ji family understood immediately.

It seemed that the pheasant was not killed by Ji Changze, but that it was somehow entangled in vines and died, and was discovered by Ji Changze.

They just say it.

Nagasawa was weak and usually felt weak when walking. How could he outrun a pheasant?

Hey, young people just love to talk big.

Father Ji opened his mouth to reveal it: "Nagaze, is this pheasant you..."

Ji's mother suddenly bumped him with her arm and signaled him to stop talking. Ji's father could only swallow the rest of his words, and then watched his wife looking at her youngest son with praise on her face and speaking in a coaxing tone. :

"Hey, our Nagasawa is really good. We can even catch pheasants. I told you a long time ago that Nagasawa is the most promising."

After saying that, she felt it was not enough, so she went to see Ji Changguang again: "Yeah, Changguang, your brother should make a career."

Ji Changguang nodded and said cooperatively: "Yes, Changze has a lot of potential."

He felt that since his younger brother was so good, it was rare for him to show off now, so even if it was a boast, he should cooperate.

He didn't praise himself, and went to see Ji's father: "Dad, you think so."

Ji's father also reacted. He looked at his eldest son, then at his wife, and then at the pheasant on the ground: "Yes, yes, yes, our Nagasawa is awesome!"

Never mind where the pheasant came from.

Why couldn't others pick up the pheasant, but they, Nagasawa, did? !

Their parents are so awesome!

No one thought that this pheasant was really caught by Ji Changze. After all, he was a member of his own family and knew that he was not capable of this.

But when you should praise, you still have to praise!

For a time, the Ji family's yard was filled with false praises.

It was rare to find meat, and it was such a plump big pheasant. Ji Mu was so happy that she just picked up the pheasant and said that she would pluck it and make sure it was clear. It happened that there was some salt left at home, so she marinated the meat to save money. You can eat it for a long time.

Ji Changze directly interjected: "Where can I find delicious stewed chicken? Mom, I want to eat stewed chicken."

Ji's mother was now in a dilemma: "Nagaze, how do you make this stewed chicken? We don't have an iron pot at home, how can we stew it?"

And now that the team is not allowed to open fire, they are living and cooking blatantly. What if the smoke comes out and someone discovers it?

"Aren't I going to my sister-in-law's house today? I'm going to take it to my sister-in-law's house. It just so happens that I'm visiting for the first time. I feel sorry for not bringing something. People in the city make their own fires, so they don't need to stew chicken and do it secretly."

While talking, Ji Changze also put his hand on Ji Changguang's shoulder, raising his eyebrows with a proud face: "What's more, since my eldest brother married my eldest sister-in-law, he has been taken care of by my eldest sister-in-law's family. Although eldest brother and sister-in-law have a good relationship, how many people in our family are there? I also need to help my elder brother keep the scene going."

Ji Changguang's face was immediately moved.

He really didn't expect that his brother would be so kind to him.

Such a pheasant was actually willing to be handed over to his father-in-law and mother-in-law for him, just to save face for him.

Ji's mother's face was not very good.

Although the words Ji Changguang said yesterday relieved her heart knot a little, but now the family finally got a pheasant, so much meat, and they haven't eaten it for two bites, but they have to give it to outsiders.

How can she be willing.

"Such a big chicken, we haven't eaten it ourselves, your sister-in-law's family is a working-class family, how can they lack this meat."

Seeing the light in Ji Changguang's eyes dim because of his mother's words, Ji Changze looked nonchalant:

"Brother, Mom is afraid that our family will take a pheasant and embarrass you, compared to your sister-in-law's family There is no shortage of meat."

Ji's mother didn't mean that at all. She opened her mouth to speak, but Ji Changze quickly grabbed her arm:

"Mom, this pheasant can't be sent over like this, it needs to be processed. Come on, I'll accompany you to pluck its feathers."

He didn't let go of her arm until he pulled Ji's mother into the house.

Ji's mother waved her hand: "Changze, why are you stopping me? Our family has already given their family a son, and your eldest brother has become someone else's. Why do we still eagerly send them meat to eat?!"

"Oh, mom, why are you so stupid!"

Ji Changze looked like "I am the smartest and what I say is the most correct", and patted the pheasant in his hand: "We can't stew the chicken in our hands. Your son wants to eat stewed chicken. Can you make it?"

"We can't give it all to them! Just send some meat. We can't eat a whole chicken like this. It's a waste of money for their family."

Ji's mother was just upset.

It's fine if a good son goes to someone else's family.

It's not easy to get a pheasant, why should it go to the Liu family.

"Don't worry, mom, I will definitely bring back stewed chicken after taking this pheasant."

"Bring it back? The meat is ready, who would be willing to let it go?"

Ji Changze: "Don't worry, I have a way for your son. Mom, I tell you, don't say those things you just said to me in front of big brother. Anyway, in the future, you should say more good things about him in front of him and be more considerate."

Before Ji's mother could get angry, he continued: "I tell you, big brother didn't really become a son-in-law, but you see how well my sister-in-law's family treats him. If our family keeps pushing him away and treats him badly, think about it. , my elder brother is still filial to you now, but after a long time, he will be alienated from our family. "

Seeing that the expression on Ji's mother's face became thoughtful, Ji Changze struck while the iron was hot: "Now you have to be good to my elder brother, let him feel that our family is really warm and really good to him. When the time comes, no matter how much my sister-in-law's family tries to win over my elder brother, he will have to choose between his biological parents and his father-in-law and mother-in-law who are good to him, right? "

"But if it is his biological parents who are not good to him, and his father-in-law and mother-in-law who are good to him, it will be hard to say which one to choose. "

Yes.

Ji's mother was originally full of anger, but after hearing what her youngest son said, she gradually felt that it seemed to be like what Changze said.

Ah!

Her youngest son is so smart! His brain is so fast!

Outside

Ji Changguang was waiting in the yard with an uneasy face, stretching his neck to look non-stop.

Finally the door opened, he hurried forward, looked at his mother nervously, and called out dryly: "Mom."

Mother Ji smiled and came forward with the pheasant: "Changguang, your brother is right, your father-in-law and mother-in-law have taken care of you for so long, and our family didn't thank you or anything. Now it's rare to have pheasant meat, mom will find it and let you take it over to thank your in-laws."

Ji Changguang's eyes widened, shocked and even stuttered: "Mom, mom, are you really asking me to take the pheasant back?"

"Is this fake?"

The mother in front of him smiled very lovingly. In Ji Changguang's impression, since he moved to his wife's house, he has never seen such a smile on his mother's face again.

He was so moved that his eyes were red: "Mom, I don't want this pheasant. This is Changze's. You worked hard, you should keep it for yourself."

Mother Ji: It must be kept for them!

But pheasant is delicious.

Her son is more important.

She tried to smile amiably:

"No, you have lived in your father-in-law's house for so long, you should show some appreciation, after all, you are the son of our Ji family, how can you live in someone else's house for free, be good, mom will go get the chicken now."

Ji Changguang was moved to tears, watching his mother carry the chicken to boil water, and stood there for a long time without coming back to his senses.

"Brother."

Ji Changze tapped his shoulder from behind: "Brother, I found some fabrics, can you help me pack those mountain products, make the packaging more beautiful, and sell better... No, it can also be sent to my sister-in-law's house, to save your face."

Ji Changguang was even more moved.

For his parents who gave up eating pheasant meat.

For his brother who worked hard to prepare gifts.

He was so happy.
