The life of a female cannon fodder

46

Li Qiu would hold the knitting needles and woolen balls in her hands when she was not working. Even when Shi Nier came to play with her, she was still knitting very fast while talking, and the knitting needles and woolen balls flew out of the shadows.

"Qiuqiu, you are really good at knitting sweaters. You knitted such a long section in just a short time." Shi Nier was amazed. She came to Li Qiu this time to give her some homemade sashimi. Since Li Qiu came to the unity team, the two of them have had a good relationship. The team leader did not stop Shi Nier from dating Li Qiu. Every time her family made something delicious, she would send a portion to Li Qiu, and Li Qiu would also give her a gift in return.

In ancient times, sazi was a "cold food" for the Cold Food Festival. Nowadays, anyone can make it if they have the conditions. However, it requires not only white flour, but also eggs and oil. If you save the oil for frying sazi once, the whole family can eat it for a month. Few people have nothing to do but make it as a snack.

Shi Nier's mother is good at frying sazi. The sazi she fried is fragrant and crispy. No one in the whole brigade can compare with her.

"The more you knit, the faster you will be." Li Qiu stopped and opened the lid of the fruit box to treat her to a snack. He continued to knit a sweater while talking to her.

Shi Nier glanced at Li Qiu's red fingers, opened her mouth to say something but swallowed it, and turned to talk about the team organizing strong men to go hunting in the mountains in a few days. Li Qiu didn't understand these things, but was surprised that other non-hunting team members could go this time, so she asked the question.

"It's not that you can go with us, you can only go to the outside to help move some things back, but you can't go into the mountains." The team certainly can't let women and educated youth who are powerless go into the mountains, they will only let them bring down firewood from the mountains, so that the team can use it to make pig rice and grind tofu to make vermicelli.

She pursed her lips and said, "It would have been a little later than in previous years, but a few days ago, the director of public security and the militia found wild boar footprints at the foot of the mountain, so this year we decided to come earlier."

She sighed and said, "I don't know what the situation will be this year. I heard from my father, the director of public security and the secretary that there are more wild boars this year than in previous years."

Li Qiu's eyelids twitched. Wild boars will be protected animals in the future. Although they are not key protected wild animals, they are also "three-have" protected animals. But now, obviously no one has this concept. When faced with wild boars that not only destroy crops but also hurt people, they are generally killed. Although they will not be killed to extinction, they will not be allowed to spread and cause disasters.

The Tuanjie Brigade used to not kill wild boars, but after the wild boars came down from the mountains and not only ate the crops in the fields but also hurt people, the Tuanjie Brigade organized hunting teams to go into the mountains every year to control the number of wild boars.

I have to say that the brigade secretary was very far-sighted. When the hunting team hunted wild boars, they always let the small ones go and only the big ones, so that the small ones could continue to reproduce.

"The secretary said that when the wild boars stop coming down to harm crops and people, the team will no longer organize hunting teams." Shi Nier sighed again when she said this: "I still hope that the wild boars can be more conscious and consciously control their numbers."

After all, every time the hunting team enters the mountains, more or less people will be injured.

Li Qiu also sighed. She came from the era of strong protection of wild animals, and had complicated feelings about hunting wild boars: "Can't we drive them away?"
