hunting in 1986

One set belongs to Wang Yuan's courtyard.

Wang Yuan looked at Sun Dagang and said: "It's Qian Xiaojun's friend who wants to buy sika deer and flying dragon, not Qian Xiaojun. To be honest, I don't even know that Qian Xiaojun's friend, so don't give me a low price. price."

"Okay, I understand."

Sun Dagang is very down-to-earth and listens to Wang Yuan's words, which is one of the reasons why Wang Yuan asked him to be the general manager.

The next morning.

After Wang Yuan said hello to his wife Li Yan, he went to Yanda University with a big burden to find his younger sister Wang Qing. Wang Qing was wearing a gray women's slim coat, leather boots, curly hair, and jade bead earrings on her ears. It does look stylish.

"My mother asked me to bring it to you. She is always worried about how you are doing. Are you free now? If you are free, please call our mother."

"I'm free, I don't have any classes this morning."

Wang Qing shares an office with many teachers. Her workstation is in a corner to the south, and the surrounding area is quite noisy and crowded with many other teachers' workstations.

There is a pot of daffodils on the windowsill, which has not yet bloomed.

Wang Yuan withdrew his gaze from looking around, and patted his head: "By the way, the phone is in my courtyard, and our mother is not usually in my courtyard to call and can't answer."

"Then how?"

"Around 12:[-] noon, my mother will go to my yard to feed the dogs and chickens, and I may hear it when I call again...Anyway, try it when the time comes, and write a letter if it doesn't work."

At this time, a female student wearing glasses brought Wang Qing a stack of homework. Seeing that Wang Qing was also busy, Wang Yuan planned to leave.

Looking at Wang Qing's attire, she looks pretty good mentally, so Wang Yuan felt relieved.

I also looked at the working environment. Although it is quite crowded, but all the teachers are like this, there is nothing to say.

"Second brother, wait a moment, let's go, I'll show you around the school." Wang Qing put a cap on the pen, got up and took Wang Yuan downstairs.

I have been to Yenching many times, but this is the first time Wang Yuan has come to Yenching University. The autumn wind is bleak, and the bicycles are shining~ It seems that the second big class in the morning is about to start, and there are really many bicycles on the road.

There are also students holding books and running to take a shortcut to class.

Wang Yuan murmured: "Ordinary people see Yan University as the proud son of heaven, but I don't think there is anything unique about it, just ordinary."

"Pfft~"

Wang Qing pursed her lips and smiled instantly: "Is there any difference in appearance? Haven't you been to Tsinghua University? The students here are the same as Tsinghua University."

"By the way, I was just about to ask you, why did you come to Peking University instead of staying at Tsinghua University to teach? Isn't the competition between Tsinghua University and Peking University very fierce?"

"I... I really like Peking University. I like the atmosphere of Peking University. Of course, I also like a cup of tea and a book in the liberal arts. It feels very relaxing and enjoyable."

The two came to the bank of Weiming Lake, and some students were reciting poems by the lake, but Wang Yuan felt that they were not reciting poems, but more like crazy.

Misty, hazy, awkward, I don't know if they know what the poems they write mean, well, Wang Yuan admits that he is a big bastard.

We chatted about the interesting things about Wang Jiatuner, parents, grandparents, and their health are very good, so Wang Qing should not worry, and then Wang Yuan asked about Wang Qing's accommodation:
"You said you want to buy a house? How about I give you a courtyard house, anyway, I can't live in so many, I'll give you the key later."

"Forget it. I don't like courtyards. They are too old. Seeing courtyards reminds me of the decadent and incompetent Qing Dynasty. I still prefer new houses, new houses with stylish decoration."

"Hey, my silly girl is really ignorant, throwing gold lumps like stones."

Wang Qing laughed instantly, and she also agreed with Wang Yuan's point of view—that is, the courtyard house will be very valuable in the future, but she is not short of money, and she doesn't care about money that much.

Soon Wang Qing talked about the teaching aids again. They set up an expert group and planned to publish a set of tutoring books for each subject in junior high school and high school. Of course, the math problems Wang Yuan gave improved the compilation of math tutoring books. Progress, the math tutorial for the first grade of junior high school will be printed soon.

"That's good, you and Xiaofang will make money soon."

"Besides the money, I think it is very meaningful. Not only will the students learn better, but the teachers can also relax."

Wang Qing thinks that many teachers in this era don't have any teaching materials, and they have to make up the questions themselves, which is really difficult. If there are teaching aids, then just follow the above.

Wandering around Yanda University, took out the camera and took a photo. When I got home and developed the photo, Wang Yuan still wrote on the back——with sister Wang Qing by the Weiming Lake of Yanda University, autumn 1994.

He thought it would be interesting to look at this photo after ten or twenty years.

In the evening, in a restaurant in the XC district, Wang Yuan met Qian Xiaojun's friend—a tall, thin guy who looked like a telegraph pole.

The thin and tall guy is called "Xu Qinghua". It is said that he and Qian Xiaojun have been friends since they were young, but they left Yanjing for Shanghai more than ten years ago.

With Qian Xiaojun as the middleman, the communication between the two parties was quite pleasant, but the arrival was relatively hasty. What Qian Dajun brought was only some photos of sika deer and flying dragon.

"These are all taken from our own farms, take a look, there is absolutely no problem in terms of quantity, so don't worry about the lack of supply.

The farmers in our cooperative are all over the northeast, not only those who raise deer and dragons, but if you want to buy roe deer, geese, pheasants, cattle, sheep, foxes, toads..."

"Ahem, that price..."

"You and Qian Xiaojun are friends, and a friend's friend is a friend. We will also give you a real price, 15 catties for a live deer, and 400 for a flying dragon. This price is not high anymore."

"What!? Such a high price is not high? The meat yield of live deer is less than half. Isn't that equivalent to more than 30 yuan a catty of venison? This is unaffordable."

Xu Qinghua's mouth twitched. The price was indeed beyond his expectation. Of course, he also made some money, but it cost a lot less.

"It's not like that. Deer blood, deer bones, hearts, livers, etc. are all worth a lot of money. Even a plate of deer liver is not less than the price of venison...so a deer, rarely Things go to waste.”

Wang Yuan also said that the price cannot be lowered easily: "Now in Yanjing, ordinary raw mutton costs 11 yuan a catty, and venison is much more expensive than mutton anyway."

"That can't be too much too outrageous."

After some haggling, the raw deer was finally settled at 12 yuan per catty, and the flying dragon was 350 yuan per catty.

Wang Yuan knew in his heart that Qian Xiaojun, the middleman, would have to make some concessions there, and it would be too unreasonable if he bit the price to death.

So he directly set the price a little higher, and now after making concessions, he can still get 12 yuan/catties for live deer and 350 for a flying dragon. He is also quite satisfied with this price.

A meal lasted until after 11 o'clock in the night. Qian Xiaojun was the happiest and wanted to go to the ballroom to dance after the meal, but Wang Yuan and Xu Qinghua both drank a little too much, so they didn't make it in the end.

After Wang Yuan returned to the courtyard where he temporarily lived, Li Yan was still sitting in the main room watching TV.

It was Zhu Shimao who was playing on TV. Chen Peisi's skit "Eating Noodles" had a solid foundation in acting without real objects. Not only did the audience laugh, but Li Yan couldn't help but pursed her lips into a smile.

"Watching TV, yo~ the kids are all asleep."

"Well, why did you come back? Look at what you drank..." Li Yan helped Wang Yuan to sit down, and poured him a glass of water: "If you don't come back again, I want to find you, have a drink Why did it take so long to eat?"

"I didn't eat much, I just drank and chatted... The skinny Xu Qinghua is quite capable, the more he drinks, the better he will be."

Wang Yuan's voice was quite loud, and just after he said a few words, Xiaotingzi who was sleeping next to him was woken up, holding her rabbit doll in his arms:
"Dad, are you back?"

"Yeah, are you sleepy? Then let's lay out the mattress and sleep."

At night, a cold wind blew, and a light rain fell quietly. In the morning, Wang Yuan opened the door, and a gust of cool wind blew in.

The air after the rain is really fresh, but the temperature is a bit low. Putting on thick clothes for the children to play in the yard, Li Yan took pictures of the children with a camera with a motherly glow all over her face.

Wang Yuan looked up at the gray sky:
"Swallow, I want to go back to Wangjiatuner, what do you think?"

"If you want to go back, go back. I've had enough fun these few days... But it's hard to come here, don't you want to have a meal with your sister?"

"It's okay to eat, then I'll contact her. There should be no class today, Saturday."

Although Wang Qing is a teacher at Yan University, a top university, her salary is actually not high. Of course, the advantage is that she has a high social status, is respected, and has really free time. Not only are there winter and summer vacations on weekends, but also the usual working days are very leisurely.

At noon, the five members of Wang Yuan's family had a meal with Wang Qing. After learning that Wang Yuan's family was leaving, Wang Qing took Li Yan to go shopping. The little guy bought a lot of things.

"Second brother, are you short of money? How about I give you some money to buy some delicious food for our parents, grandparents, grandparents, hey~ I'm afraid I won't be able to go back until the Chinese New Year."

"You give me money? Let's forget it. I'm not short of money. Just take care of yourself."

Wang Yuan and his wife returned to the courtyard to pack up their things, and took a taxi to the airport. Not long after they left, a car stopped at the entrance of the alley. Zheng Lian strode to the gate of the courtyard and saw that the door was locked. head:
"I'm late? I'm leaving too fast, don't you want to drink with him? Why don't you stay a few days longer?"

……

Naturally, Wang Yuan didn't know that Zheng Lian had gone looking for him, and it happened to be around three o'clock in the afternoon when he went all the way back to Wangjiatuner.

A group of people gathered at the entrance of the small shop, and a bullock cart selling goods in the streets was parked next to it. The most eye-catching thing was the boxes of canned food on it.

"Boys, young and old, are you here to rest and play?"

"Hey! Wang Yuan, you are back! Don't go, don't go..."

Wang Yuan passed by the entrance of the canteen on a motorcycle, and wanted to leave after saying hello, but Liu Hui stopped him.

Wang Yuan thought he had something important to do, but this guy opened his mouth and said:
"It's really a pity that you haven't been home these days. We went to catch a rabbit this morning. A silly rabbit bang~ bumped into my dog, and knocked myself out hahaha~ I've never seen it when I grow up so old over this kind of thing.”

"That's it?"

Is such a piece of shit worth stopping myself?Wang Yuan looked at Liu Hui in surprise.

"Yeah, don't you think it's strange? After hunting for so many years, have you ever seen a rabbit hit a dog?"

"I haven't seen it before. I've seen a rabbit kick a dog's head... Your rabbit is so stupid that eating it affects brain development. Take me to my house and I will study it."

"Huh? Get the hell out of here, you just want to covet my rabbit."

After a few idle words, Wang Yuan rode his motorcycle back home, and the three hounds ran out of the kennel. They were so excited that they not only jumped up and down, but also yelled "Aww~owwh" , The big tail flapped and flapped quickly.

"Okay, okay, stop screaming, go, go, don't jump on me..."

Wang Yuan opened the fence gate and pushed the motorcycle in:
"Swallow, look, it's good to have a dog. Seeing that we are back, the dogs are so excited."

"I also eat a lot, and I often eat meat, which is better than what people eat."

Li Yan entered the house and put the children on the kang, and quickly fetched water to wash their faces. The dust was flying all the way, and the unkempt and dirty ones were buried to death.

Wang Yuan also washed his hands and face, went to the canteen to buy a pack of cigarettes, bought some snacks for the children, and after he came out, he bought five bottles of canned food from the peddler driving the ox cart.

A bottle of canned food is 30 yuan, compared with the price of canned food [-] years later, it is really scary.

On the way back, I met my second aunt. After the second aunt went back, she told Wang Yuan's mother the news of their return, so soon my mother, younger sister Wang Xiaodie and the big white cat came over.

"You guys are back, how are you? Have you seen Xiaoqing?" Mom looked at Wang Yuan with a look of anticipation on his face.

"See you, don't worry, my sister is doing well. She eats well, wears well, lives well, and works easily... Eh? Didn't Xiaoqing call back?"

"Why are you calling? My father and I don't have a phone in the yard, and we can't answer the call."

What Wang Yuan said before was that every day after lunch, my mother would come to feed the dogs and chickens. If Wang Qing called at this time, the mother in the yard would probably be able to hear it. It's time to talk.

But the time when my mother comes to feed the dogs and chickens is not completely fixed, it may be ten minutes earlier or ten minutes later.

Now it seems that there is no call.

The setting sun outside the window was falling little by little, and the bright red sunset glow coated the mud houses, fence walls, and firewood stacks with a layer of red.

My mother has been sitting in Wang Yuan's yard for more than half an hour. After listening to Wang Yuan's detailed description of Wang Qing's situation, she looked at the group photo.

"Oh my god, I can't even recognize it after I put on my glasses." My mother has presbyopia, she stretched her arms while holding the photo and squinted to see clearly, "Okay, okay, as long as you live well... that's okay, you can do it." Let's eat, I should go too, Xiaodie, can you go?"

"Don't go!"

Xiaodie is eating snacks, holding the big white cat and watching the cartoon "Ne Zha Nao Hai", she is very excited and can't bear to leave.
