hunting in 1986

Chapter 169 168 Anecdotes, Dumplings, Harbin Market
Wang Yuan drove his mother, younger sister Wang Qing and the little girl to grandma's house, the wheels ran over the snow and left beautiful patterns.

Four people are squeezed into a small motorcycle, and they are really squeezed into meatloaf.

The cold wind was piercing, the little girl lowered her head and snuggled into her mother's arms, the wind blowing around her head made her dare not raise her head at all, but thinking of going to grandma's house to eat delicious food, she couldn't help licking her face with a smile on her face. Lick the corners of your mouth.

"Sit tight, the front is going uphill!"

The cold wind was too strong, and Wang Yuan could only remind the people behind him by shouting, and then the motorcycle rushed up as soon as he gasped.

When I came to grandma's house, the old uncle was chopping firewood in the yard, and the big ax he picked up hit the wood, and the hard wood was split directly.

"Xiaoyuan, you guys are here, hurry up and enter the house."

The old uncle had already chopped a pile of firewood, sweat dripped from his forehead, and he didn't forget to yell into the house when he opened the gate:
"Mom, Xiaoyuan and the others are here!"

Grandma is a little old lady in a flowered jacket. She walked out of the house quickly while talking. The little girl felt her mother pushing her back, so she hurriedly shouted comprehendingly: "Grandma, I miss you."

"You little girl is just a rarity, ouch~ Grandma can't even hug her when she grows up."

"Mom, don't hug her when she's so old."

Grandma acted as if she didn't hear her mother's words, and was still teasing the little girl: "What do you want to eat, grandma will make it for you later."

"I love everything my grandma cooks."

"What a clever little ghost, what a rarity."

The crowd was talking as they walked into the room, their voices were noisy and chaotic, and two silly puppies were still running with the crowd, getting too close. Wang Qing accidentally stepped on one of the puppies' paws. The little puppy screamed.

"Mom, where is the puppy?"

"Your second aunt and your second uncle came here before, and her dog couldn't send the puppy out, so they brought them here."

Lifting up the thick cloth curtain and entering the room, grandpa was leaning against the kangqin, with a flowered quilt covering his legs.

When I was young, my grandfather was also a violent boy, with a strong body and a loud voice, the kind who would carry bricks and slap people if he disagreed with him.

However, as the grandfather got older, his hair and eyebrows were all white, and his fiery temper had subsided a lot, and he seemed to have a kind-hearted feeling.

The mother looked at the grandfather's leg distressedly: "Dad, why did you fall, why don't you turn it into a crutch."

Grandma chimed in from the side: "I've fixed my crutches, why don't I just throw them behind the door? Your father is so stubborn that he won't use them."

"I was stunned on crutches... Alas, I don't go out very often, so that's fine."

Grandpa was very happy to see Wang Yuan and the others, and hurriedly asked grandma to get some delicious food, and distributed the delicious food to everyone, chatting with them while teasing the little girl.

"Xiaoqing, is it alright at Yanjing?"

"It's pretty good. The students come from all corners of the country, and they all get along well."

"That's good, that's good. Some time ago, when I went to the commune to do business, a cadre of the commune asked me:
Is Wang Qing, who was admitted to Tsinghua University, your granddaughter?I said it must be, and my head was raised high at that time... You don't know, that bastard in the commune didn't look at people straight before. "

Grandpa felt very honorable, Wang Yuan burst into laughter instantly, Wang Qing also smiled shyly, only the little girl was playing with grandpa's beard without understanding.

Mom rolled up her sleeves and went outside to cook with grandma. The sound of the conversation spread into the house. After a while, the scream of a hen before dying could be heard. There was chicken for lunch.

Sitting on the edge of the kang, Wang Yuan listened to his grandfather and younger sister Wang Qing chatting, interjected occasionally, and teased the two puppies on the ground with his feet.

"Wang Wang~"

One pup was pitch black with white paws; the other had brown hair but a white tip of its tail.

The little dog was very fat, bouncing around, flopping left and right, opening his mouth to bite Wang Yuan's shoe.

"Xiaoyuan, do you still need a dog at home? Take one and leave, and keep one to watch over the house." Grandpa pressed the golden shredded tobacco into the tobacco pot, lit it and smoked it.

"Dog? Mom, do we want a dog?"

"Our four dogs, what kind of dogs do you want..." My mother was making dumplings in the main room, and it was only after she said the words that she remembered that the dogs were all in Wang Yuan's courtyard.

"If you don't want to leave later, just hold one."

"Where to go, I will stay for a few more days after I finally come here." Grandma is not happy, how much she hopes that her daughter, granddaughter, and grandson can stay for a few more days.

As they get older, they also like to be more lively. If there is no one else in the house, sometimes they move a small bench and sit at the door for most of the day.

Sudden.

There were voices coming from outside Banzhangzi. It turned out that a few relatives from the village had come, and they mainly wanted to chat with Wang Yuan's mother, Wang Qing and others.

The scene was very lively, everyone was kind and smiling, the small room instantly seemed extremely crowded, and the smoke produced by the burning tobacco leaves burst out like thick smoke from a fire.

Wang Yuan couldn't get in the conversation at all, so he opened the door curtain and walked out. The little girl came out holding the little milk dog who was completely black and only had white paws.

She fell in love with this puppy, and planned to take it home after eating.

"Make dumplings~"

The little girl squatted beside the curtain, a small one, watching grandma and mother making dumplings while stroking the dog.

"Yeah, do you like dumplings?"

The mother saw a little dirt on the little girl's nose, so she stretched out her hand to wipe it, and the dirt did fall off, but the little girl's nose was stuck to the flour from the mother's hand.

There were chattering voices in the house, and Wang Yuan vaguely heard them mentioning "Shuai Wang", "fighting" and "hospitalization". His mother obviously heard it too, so she curiously asked grandma:
"Mom, what happened to Wang Shuai? Is it the Wang Shuai from our village?"

"Yeah, that's Wang Shuai from your village. He got together with Erying's wife some time ago, and was bumped into by Erying who was returning home after playing cards, and they started fighting..."

Grandma sighed, sprinkled some white flour on the curtain, and then put the wrapped dumplings on it regularly.

She couldn't understand this kind of thing very much, and there was anger in her eyes.

"Erying wanted to kill Wang Shuaier with a gun. If Erying's wife hadn't stopped him, Wang Shuaier's first seven days would have passed... As a result, after a day or two, Wang Shuai, who was not convinced, would lead someone to kill him. When I came back, I beat Erying, her bones were broken and she was hospitalized..."

Wang Yuan stood beside him with a face full of shock, his eyes were really opened by a knife slashing his ass.

"Then...then this matter is over? Then?" Mom slowed down the speed of making dumplings, and asked curiously.

"There is no later. Erying is still living in the hospital... Erying and his wife moved here from the pass, and they don't have any relatives here. What can they do if they are bullied?" Grandma sighed, and then continued to make dumplings.

"Grandma, Erying didn't call the police?"

"No. The village head is also very angry. Wang Shuaier wants to collect tobacco leaves in this village, so why not let him do so." Grandma is very well-informed and knows everything:
"By the way, there is also Zhao Xing from Sanlongtun who collects the tobacco leaves together, the same Zhao Xing who went back to your village last time."

"Tobacco leaves? Tobacco leaves are purchased and sold in a unified manner, so they are not allowed to be bought and sold in private, right?"

"Sell it stealthily. Wang Shuai and Zhao Xing gave high prices. By the way, what happened to Zhao Xing? With your cousin's daughter-in-law..."

Wang Yuan didn't expect his grandma to gossip like this, but it's not convenient for him to say more about this kind of thing, so he passed it vaguely.

At noon, I cooked a large table of dishes, including chicken, duck, goose, pig, deer, sheep, fish, prawns, rabbits, etc. Grandma can't wait to serve all the good dishes on the table.

Even though my mother kept saying that enough is enough and no need to do it anymore, my grandma promised to continue doing it.

The old uncle went to the village and bought some appetizers. By the way, he bought fried cakes. The little girl ate them with the children of the old uncle's family. The happy little girl narrowed her eyes.

Sitting next to the kang table, eating and chatting while drinking, Wang Yuan picked up a chopstick of chicken and put it in his mouth to chew, his mouth tingled with spicy food, and beads of sweat came out of his forehead in an instant.

"Hiss~ so spicy, so spicy."

"There's too much chili pepper, Xiao Yuan, do you want some water, I'll get you some water." Grandma was about to pour water as she spoke, but Wang Yuan stopped her:
"Grandma doesn't need to be so troublesome. Spicy is spicy, but it tastes really delicious."

"Eat as much as you like, if you don't have enough, there are more outside."

Eating meat, drinking and chatting, the atmosphere was very relaxed, the dumplings were served when they were almost done drinking, and everyone began to eat dumplings.

A good appetite can indeed eat a lot of delicious food. After finishing a bowl of dumplings, Wang Yuan ordered another bowl. After eating two bowls of dumplings, he drank the vinegar in the small bowl and said again: the dumplings made by grandma are so delicious.

In an instant, grandma's smiling eyes almost disappeared.

"If you still eat, I won't serve you a bowl."

"Don't eat it, don't eat it, the dumplings will go up to the throat." Wang Yuan hiccupped again and again, the dumplings made by grandma were really delicious, the skin was thin and the filling was big, and the stuffing was delicious.

The original soup turns into the original food, and the last thing served is the dumpling soup.

While drinking the enthusiastic dumpling soup, the old uncle suddenly said: "Xiaoyuan, why haven't you collected pine nuts in the past two years? Many other peddlers have collected pine nuts."

"Uncle, it's because a lot of people are harvesting pine nuts, the purchase price is going up gradually, and I can't make any money, so I won't accept it."

After chatting until after 2 o'clock in the afternoon, grandpa was tired and fell asleep on the kang. Grandma covered him with a coat and a few of them left the back room.

Mom helped grandma pick up beans in the main room, ready to grind tofu for eating, and the little girl made small holes beside her, while Wang Yuan and Wang Qing followed the old uncle to his yard.

The yard where the uncle lives is much better than the yard where the grandmother lives. His house was rebuilt this year, and the six tile-roofed houses are beautiful, and a super super big yard is surrounded by wood.

Wang Yuan stood in the big courtyard, opened his arms and felt so small.

"Uncle, does your yard have 3 acres of land? Nearly 2000 square meters?"

"It's almost the same." The old uncle also spent some money in recent years, so he started smoking cigarettes.

He took out a cigarette and handed it to Wang Yuan. When he handed it to Wang Qing, Wang Qing repeatedly refused.

Phew~ strike a match and light a cigarette, the old uncle took a deep breath before saying:
"My yard is not the biggest in the village. There is a family in the south with a bigger yard, which is Erleng's uncle's house... In your concubine's natal house, every family has a big yard, and a yard of 2 mu is normal. of."

I am used to looking at ordinary yards, but looking at this kind of large yards, I feel very empty. There is still snow on the poles in the distance, and the crystal snowflakes are reflecting the brilliant sunlight.

Wang Qing looked around with her hands in her hands: "How can such a large yard be used for haha?"

"It looks good if you don't do anything. It's bright and comfortable. Your sister-in-law wants to have a variety of vegetables, and when the yard grows, it will be able to grow all the work."

The old uncle called Wang Yuan and Wang Qing over because he wanted them to watch TV for help.

Occasionally, the TV would blow snowflakes like a convulsion, so the old uncle called Wang Qing to come and fix it.

As for whether Wang Qing will repair it?In my uncle's opinion, he must be able to practice. Isn't a college student omnipotent?
"Second brother, I don't understand how this is done." After seeing the TV, Wang Qing also frowned worriedly. She really doesn't know how to fix it.

"I'll take a look."

Wang Yuan took off the rear cover, he just knew a little bit, checked it but couldn’t find anything, put it outside for more than an hour with an attitude of trying, and when he moved it back to the street, it turned out that there was something wrong with the wires. Gone.

"Uncle, it's just damp."

"It turned out to be damp, or Xiaoyuan, you know a lot, and the TV will also get damp after making a fuss for a long time."

It was getting late, and Wang Yuan wanted to take his mother home with them, but grandma was very reluctant to let her go early. Seeing how pitiful grandma was about to cry, mother decided to stay for the night.

Wang Yuan also stayed for one night, but he failed to leave the next day. Wang Yuan couldn't stay any longer, so he rode his motorcycle and left by himself. Let his mother, Wang Qing and the little girl stay at grandma's house for a few days. .

Wang Yuan was going to the provincial capital to collect antiques, and he left because he had something to do.

After returning home, he asked his wife Li Yan to prepare some food for him, and after warming it up for more than an hour, he rode his motorcycle directly to the city.

When I arrived in the city, I passed the big restaurant owned by Li Shen, and found that the big restaurant was closed.

"Forget it, all the shares in the hotel have been withdrawn. This restaurant has nothing to do with me. Li Shen can do whatever he likes." Wang Yuan turned on the gas pedal and accelerated to leave.

The affiliated street had obtained a part of the shares of the big hotel and the chain restaurant before, but Li Shen obviously did not give in so easily. To put it bluntly, the fat meat of the chain restaurant and the big hotel was too attractive.

Sake is popular with people, and money is touching people's hearts.

As for whether Li Shen could win the battle in the end, Wang Yuan couldn't guess.

Take the train from the train station and go straight to Harbin. When we arrived in Harbin, it was already past 4 pm. In winter, the days are short and the nights are long, and the sun is about to set.

The bustling street is full of New Year's flavor, and firecrackers sound from time to time. Many children are nostalgic for candied haws and ice cream, and the children's clever laughter floats from the air.

"Harbin is much more prosperous than Lindu. Forget it, let's go see if Aunt Xue has received any good treasures." Wang Yuan stopped a taxi by the side of the road, said the address, and the taxi slowly drive up.
