1986: Old Stories in Northeast China

"Uh..., well, I haven't finished eating yet."

Chen Tiezhu said with a guilty conscience, and then looked at Li Yinglin

Li Yinglin opened his mouth and could only give Chen Tiezhu an encouraging look.

Don't dare to provoke me, don't provoke me, brother, just pray for good luck.

Chen Tiezhu looked at Jiang Chaoyang again, and his nose was almost crooked with anger.

Jiang Chaoyang was concentrating on using chopsticks to put some sesame sauce on the mutton. Don't you think it's annoying?

"Why are you looking at me? Tell me your problem honestly." Han Xiuying said.

"What's the problem? I don't know what to say." Chen Tiezhu pretended to be stupid.

"Just wait. If you don't tell me, no one can leave today." Han Xiuying said indifferently.

"What else is there to tell? You know my situation very well." Chen Tiezhu said.

"Oh..., by the way. Life has been better recently, and the food standard has also been significantly improved. So my weight should have increased. I estimate that I have gained about three or four pounds now."

"Puff"

Li Yinglin next to him couldn't help laughing out loud.

When Han Xiuying glanced at him, he also hurriedly picked up a piece of cabbage and stuffed it into his mouth.

"Are you still teasing me? Where did you get this thing?" Han Xiuying asked expressionlessly, and took out the big yellow croaker from Doudou's pocket.

"I picked it up."

Chen Tiezhu answered very straightforwardly.

"Oh? You picked it up again this time? Why don't you say it's a family heirloom?" Han Xiuying said.

"Same, same, it's an heirloom after picking it up. One is for Doudou as a dowry, and the other is for me to marry a wife. If you like it, take one to play with." Chen Tiezhu said.

"Then you won't grow mushrooms?" Han Xiuying stretched out her voice.

"Why not? My biggest dream in this life is to grow mushrooms with you." Chen Tiezhu answered confidently.

"Be serious." Han Xiuying glared at him.

Chen Tiezhu hesitated for a moment, and pretended to touch his arms again. When he took his hand out again, there were two more big yellow croakers in it.

"You have to have heirlooms, marry a wife, and grow mushrooms." Chen Tiezhu said carefully.

Han Xiuying was really dumbfounded. She wanted this guy to explain how the gold bars came from, but who would have thought that he would take out two more.

"Xiuying, I support you. Give this guy a good trial." Li Yinglin sat up straight.

"Yes, on this issue, I firmly agree with Li's opinion." Jiang Chaoyang didn't add sesame sauce to the mutton.

"What are you two doing? I've confessed everything." Chen Tiezhu looked aggrieved.

"Are you two going to make the same mistake with him? Did he get it from the Thirteen Protectors?" Han Xiuying asked angrily.

Li Yinglin and Jiang Chaoyang looked away with a guilty conscience.

"No, how could that be? They definitely didn't know about the gold bars. Brother Jiang, is there any in their confession?" Chen Tiezhu said.

"Uh..., I really didn't. Today was the first time I knew that they picked up gold bars in the woods. Um..., they didn't have any other guns, only shotguns." Jiang Chaoyang said hurriedly.

"What the hell? There are guns?" Han Xiuying was furious.

She found that there was something wrong here. How serious a crime did these three people commit?

"Yingzi, I picked it up for nothing." Chen Tiezhu said pitifully.

"It's just like finding a club in the forest. Whoever picks it up owns it. If I pick it up on Erdao Ridge, it's mine. The Thirteen Guardians don't have gold bars or guns. You can ask them, they don't have them either."

In fact, he chose to show the two gold bars because he knew that they would find out sooner or later.

It's better to "confess" now than to be discovered later.

Otherwise, hiding this "secret" will become a big gap in the future.

Of course he knows the principle of not showing off wealth. These big yellow croakers are now a touchstone. It is testing how deep the friendship between him and these three people is.

Han Xiuying turned her head away and didn't say anything.

"It's not easy for me either." Chen Tiezhu said pitifully, and then began to take off his clothes.

"This gang is very cruel. If I had reacted a little slower, I would have been shot dead. Look at this wound, uh..., it would have healed a little later."

After untying the bandage on his arm, he was also a little puzzled. How did it heal so quickly?

"You are injured too?" Li Yinglin asked with concern.

"Nothing, I am almost healed." Chen Tiezhu said cheerfully, and then put on a bitter face again.

"A heroic young man, facing thirteen extremely brutal criminals. He had no fear in his heart, alone..., withoutGun and horse. A single person holding a bow, resolutely walked into the wind and snow..."

"Yes, walked into the wind and snow. Then he picked up the gold bars and the gun, and continued to make up. "Han Xiuying glanced at him, and her tone softened a little.

Chen Tiezhu hurried over and took out the letter paper left by Professor Xu, "Yingzi, we still have to continue to grow mushrooms. Look at these things written by Professor Xu, we still have to buy materials."

"It has been delayed for so long. If we don't hurry up, I'm afraid it will affect the growth of mushrooms. I really plan to sell mushrooms before the Spring Festival."

"We can't let the inactive look down on us. He said that it can't be grown, and we have to grow it. Even if we don't make steamed buns, we have to fight for this breath."

After that, he held up the letter paper pitifully and looked at Han Xiuying.

"Xiuying, I think Tiezhu is right. After all..., haha, I'm a little hungry again. "Li Yinglin said halfway, met Han Xiuying's eyes, and chose a major strategic shift.

Jiang Chaoyang was also very wise. Although he was almost full, he could still eat two more pieces of meat.

"Yingzi..."

Chen Tiezhu said, shaking Han Xiuying's arm again.

"Don't stare at me." Han Xiuying glared at him.

In fact, she was very conflicted now.

The principle told her that this matter must be reported.

But the Thirteen Taibao didn't know what threat this guy had used. He just didn't mention this matter. It seemed useless to report it.

The key point is that this guy really risked his life to get it back.

I was very conflicted in my heart. What should I do with this guy?

"Xiuying, if it were me who went into the forest, I would definitely die." Li Yinglin said.

"When I received the task, I didn't take it seriously. I thought it was just an ordinary hunter at most. "Jiang Chaoyang also spoke.

"In fact, on a snowy night like that, even if we didn't meet that group of people, we would have suffered a lot. If we met them, we would have to talk about it."

"You only know how to protect him." Han Xiuying pouted.

Chen Tiezhu breathed a sigh of relief. Friendship can stand the test, and Han Xiuying has passed this test.

"Comrade Han, we will leave today."

At this time, Bu Ganshi led Professor Xu in from outside again.
