hunting in 1986

Wangjiatuner.

Li Yan put down the telegram, looked at the sunset outside the window and sighed: "Xiaoyuan hasn't come back yet, why go to Inner Mongolia?"

Sudden.

Daughter Xiaotingzi burst into tears. It turned out that she was reluctant to bite a lollipop, but dared to lick it. As a result, the two wolves snatched the lollipop.

"You dare to snatch things from people! I'll beat you to death!" Li Yan picked up the broomstick and chased the dog. The scared dog ran out with its tail between its legs.

slap~
Throwing the broom lump back to the corner, Li Yan picked up the small pavilion as if she had suffered a lot:
"Okay, okay, don't cry, it's just a piece of candy... It's your fault too, if you don't eat it quickly, it's better now, let the dog eat it."

"Mama, give me another piece of candy." The little guy said in a childish voice, but it's a pity that Li Yan can't give it because it's just a lollipop.

That was when she was shopping at the grocery store, and they saw her hugging the little girl carved in pink and jade, and they gave her a ride, and they didn't ask for money.

At this moment.

Wang Yuan's mother came to the door, and brought a bag of watermelon with a lot of effort:
"I heard from Xiaoqian that you're back, so I'll bring you some watermelons... This watermelon is pretty good. It's Huang Cheng from Xiaobaitun who sells watermelons. It's not expensive for 2 cents a catty. It's a carload of watermelons. It sold out in the blink of an eye."

"Brother Huang Cheng is here? Are you leaving?"

"I left a long time ago, and I didn't drink any water when I came home." The mother teased the little girl again, clapping her hands and flicking her tongue, which made the little girl giggle.

Because she knew that Huang Cheng was from Li Yan's natal family, that's why my mother called him home for a drink. If Li Yan wasn't there, she would definitely ignore him.

At least here in Wangjiatun, when they see some people who are related or who can be related by beating around the bush, they will take the initiative to say hello or ask them to come to the house for dinner.

Of course you can do without saying hello.

But it is possible to be said to be arrogant, look down on others, pretend, etc. Many times, gossip is very lethal.

Of course, there are a lot of people who come late from the customs. They are alone and have no relatives here. Of course, the downside is that they may be bullied, and there is no one to help when they encounter problems.

"Brother Huang Cheng's family grows a lot of watermelons every year. Some watermelon eggs are not easy to sell, so they are basically given away to others. My mother's family was even given two bags."

"Yeah? That young man is really strong, just like the Iron Tower."

My mother was not in a hurry to leave, she sat on the kang in the back room and chatted with Li Yan for a while:
"Hey, Xiao Yuan is supposed to be tall, but he's still a head short in front of others."

In fact, my mother doesn't like Wang Yuan, and Li Yan and his wife have a lot of lifestyles, but according to Wang Yuan's father's words, "the couple like to live their lives as they please, and don't worry too much about it", and they rarely point fingers. So the relationship between my mother and Li Yan is still harmonious.

Unlike some families in the village, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have already torn skins and scolded the street.

But that kind is very rare after all. Most people in Wangjiatun'er are more concerned about "family harmony and prosperity". After all, those who scold the street are in the minority.

My mother asked Li Yan to go to the courtyard to have dinner together, but Li Yan finally refused. She was not very used to her mother's cooking, and she felt more comfortable firing a fire.

Mom didn't force it either, but before leaving, she remembered something.

"By the way, Yang Hua went to find the courtyard today, and he asked us if we knew Xiaoyuan's specific address abroad, and what department he was in there, and I said I don't know these things.

Xiaoyuan is really wild, he really belongs to the rabbit. Ceng~ went here, Ceng~ went there, and he didn't tell the family his address.Xiaoyan, do you know his address? "

Li Yan shook her head and she didn't know either.

As soon as my mother left, Yang Hua came. She was a woman at home and didn't dare to let Yang Hua enter the house, so she said a few words in the yard.

It turned out that Yang Hua had heard about "canned food for airplanes", and it happened that he had a small canned food factory, so he also wanted to sell canned food to Russia.

According to his thinking—even if he can't change the plane, he can change to a T-34 tank. It will definitely be cool to drive out.

"You don't know either? Then how can you contact him?"

"The ones who can't be contacted are usually sent by him to deliver a letter, and then take a letter from home along the way."

Li Yan said: "He said that it's a mess over there now, and it's hard to get in touch even if you know the address."

Yang Hua's heart was instantly chilled, he was still thinking about how to persuade Wang Yuan, but he couldn't even get in touch.

The cold wind rolled up the dust, and the swollen passers-by felt their teeth gritted. Yang Hua walked home absent-mindedly, and he didn't hear the villagers coming back from herding sheep to greet him.

Back at the pitch-black home, Yang Hua frowned instantly:
"Not counting the rough and the fine, turn on the light for me! Save a few cents on the electricity bill and you will be rich!?"

"What's wrong with you?" Yang Hua's wife was bending over to serve porridge from the pot. Knowing that Yang Hua loves porridge lumps, she served all the porridge lumps for him.

"It's not that the light is not turned on, but it's out of power. I pulled it several times and it didn't turn on. It must be a power outage."

Yang Hua had made up his mind to divorce his wife before, and there was so much noise during the day and night that even the village next door knew about it. His parents didn't want to but he wanted to leave too.

He was beaten up by several brothers-in-law, but it still didn't work, and his wife cried every day.

But then someone thought of a trick for his wife - don't talk to him, ignore him, the more you talk to him, the more energetic he will be, let him make trouble on his own and stop when he gets tired.

This trick really worked.

Yang Hua quarreled for a while, and he finally gave in, but he was still upset when he got home.

"Fart! Our house and Wang Yuan are on the same line. If his house has electricity, can we run out of electricity?" Yang Hua felt that nothing was going well, so he directly found a test pen and a screwdriver and began to remove the switch box.

"My mother, you can be more careful, if you don't pull the brakes, be careful."

"It's okay, electrocuted and pulled down."

After removing the brake box, it was found that the fuse was blown. After replacing it, the light cord was pulled and clicked~ the ball light was on.

"Crack~"

Yang Hua's wife was also a little angry, and threw the rag on the counter: "Damn it, you take gunpowder every day? Can't you talk well? I really owe you for serving you every day. Of...you guys! Hurry up and wash your hands and eat!"

I was worried that Yang Hua would go crazy again so I didn't dare to speak of him, but instead yelled at you child.

The few children were submissive and did not dare to talk to each other, for fear of getting hot, they washed their hands and hurriedly helped the bowler to carry the bowl, and the one who held the chopsticks to hold the chopsticks.

Yang Hua turned on the TV and found snowflakes, took two shots and it was all right, then changed the channel and found that the TV was singing "Let's Walk Smartly".

Since the song came out in 1991, it has quickly become popular all over the country with its beautiful melody.

And won the Top Ten Chinese Golden Melody Awards this year.

"The sky and the earth pass by in a hurry, the tide rises and falls~

Kindness, resentment, life and death, how many people can see through~
The world of mortals, rolling infatuation, deep affection~”

Yang Hua also liked this song very much. Hearing the beautiful melody, the restlessness in his heart was relieved a lot, and he even hummed along with it softly.

During the meal, Yang Hua talked about his decision: "Others have traded canned food for airplanes, and our family runs a canning factory. No matter what, I will go to Russia. I decided to leave in a few days."

Several of his children glanced at each other and no one spoke. His wife was 1 unhappy but there was nothing she could do about it.

……

Just when Yang Hua was getting ready to take the Sino-Russian train, Wang Yuan and the others were buying antiques in Moscow.

Gold in troubled times, antiques in prosperous times.

Many people are short of food and clothing, so they are very happy to exchange some shabby gadgets left by their ancestors for some practical things.

Of course, Wang Yuan is also very picky about Russian antiques, only rare ones will be collected, not ordinary goods.

Moreover, during the acquisition process, it was found that some antiques came from Germany, Britain, Austria-Hungary, France and other countries. They were either robbed or brought over by the movement of people during the Tsarist Russia period.

This morning.

A young Russian man brought a large piece of jade, weighing hundreds of catties, which is rare. The white jade is exquisitely carved and very beautiful. The other party just wanted to change a few pairs of cotton socks. Wang Yuan readily agreed.

After the man left, Da Zhuang squatted down and stroked the jade carefully:
"I didn't expect that Russia also has jade? It's quite beautiful."

"Russia does have jade. It seems to be on the side of Lake Baikal in Siberia. This material is not bad."

Wang Yuan was also very happy touching the beautiful jade. What he thought of was that many people in later generations imported jade from Russia, processed it and sold it as Hetian jade.

"Hey? Do you think this piece of jade looks like a dog? It looks a bit like it, right? Find an old master who can carve him into a dog, a big white dog lying down."

"Hahaha~"

After listening to Wang Yuan's words, Da Zhuang and the others immediately laughed, and they really seemed alike when they said it.

Sudden.

A younger brother of Yevgeny came to him and said that Yevgeny was waiting for him at Victor's Tavern not far away, and he had something important to discuss with him.

Victor's Tavern has a long history. The exterior walls are full of signs of vicissitudes under the invasion of the years. The business here is very good. Every time I come to Wang Yuan, I can see a group of people drinking.

People who are not used to it will find it very noisy and loud, but once they get used to it, they will find that everyone is very cheerful and enthusiastic, and some witty jokes can even make people laugh out loud.

When Wang Yuan brought Da Zhuang and the others over, Yevgeny, who was wearing a leather coat, was sitting at a table next to the wall drinking, frowning as if things were difficult to handle.

"Hey, Yevgeny, what's calling me here?"

"Well, didn't you ask me to help find someone before? I found him."

Yevgeny gave Wang Yuan a complicated look, picked up his glass and continued to drink.

boom!
Wang Yuan looked at Yevgeny in shock. He asked him to help him find the missing Wu Dong, Niu Yuanyuan's uncle.

The other party brought a group of people to Russia to be a lord, but they disappeared. His wife, children, etc. were in panic every day, and a good family was about to be completely broken up.

The atmosphere was a little depressing, but Wang Yuan still asked the question he was most concerned about:
"Is he still alive? Where is it?"

"Alive is alive, but the situation is not very good. It is in the small Siberian city of Laconars."

Yevgeny took out a black-and-white photo from his pocket. The photo showed a small iron cage, and inside the cage was a terrified Chinese man with unkempt hair.

The left hand was wrapped in a bandage, and it seemed that the entire left hand was gone.

Now that the person has been found, he naturally cannot stand by and watch. Wang Yuan immediately asked Yevgeny to send someone to bring him to Moscow, and he can directly tell him what price he needs.

"He played in the local casino, and the borrowed money plus interest probably cost a thousand cotton coats."

"OK!"

There are less than 500 cotton-padded clothes in Wang Yuan's space, but he still has a large sum of US dollars in his hand, and he can pay the bill in US dollars.

Three days passed in a flash, this morning it was raining lightly, and Wang Yuan and his group picked up Wu Dong at the airport.

I don't know what kind of torture the latter has endured. They always peek at people from the corner of their eyes, shrinking back and forth, as if they are very afraid of people.

Although she had put on a relatively new dress and her hair was cut short, she still looked very much like Hanako.

"Hello, Uncle Wu, I'm Niu Yuanyuan's friend. She asked me to look for you. Now that you are safe, we can go back to China soon."

Wang Yuan took another look at Wu Dong's bandaged left arm. The whole left hand was indeed gone, and he couldn't help feeling a kind of sadness in his heart.

"Uh-huh."

Wu Dong closed his eyes and took a few breaths of fresh air, his pale face slowly stretched out, as if he knew that he was really going to be free.

But there were still few words. When Wang Yuan asked him why he became like this, what happened and where his younger brothers were, he lowered his head slightly and said nothing.

Wang Yuan sighed lightly and stopped asking.

Going back to Xiaokou on the third floor, Wu Dong went back to the room prepared for him, took a good shower, and then had a good night's sleep. After such a long time, he could finally sleep soundly.

He slept until after 5 pm, and he woke up slowly when the red light of the sunset shone through the window on his face. After looking around and seeing that he had not returned to that terrifying iron cage, he breathed a sigh of relief. .

"I finally escaped, hehe, hehe~ You must have never thought that I could escape alive?? Just wait for me, the debt will be settled sooner or later!!"

When Wu Dong was called downstairs for dinner, Wu Dong was obviously much more normal, and his face was no longer so dull and timid, replaced by anger, hatred, and resentment.

It turned out that when he brought people to Russia, the journey was very difficult. First, he was patronized by thieves, and he was blackmailed when he passed the customs.

Of course, the biggest crisis still comes from within. One of his younger brothers doesn't want to work for him and wants to work alone, but he lacks the first pot of gold. It's like getting the first pot of gold by cheating him.

"Hey~ I felt that little brother's mind changed, but I didn't expect him to do things so terribly! Fortunately, when I was in Siberia, I persuaded a Russian, and he didn't kill me...

I said that I am more valuable alive, someone will definitely come to me, and I can ask for a ransom at that time, and he took it seriously... Otherwise, I would have died by now. "

Thinking of the tragic experience during this period, Wu Dong's eyes were wet and he almost cried, it was really too difficult.
