hunting in 1986

Chapter 272 271 cents, letter

Wangjiatuner, at the door of the house.

Regarding the return of Wang Yuan, Wang Meng, and Wang Hu, the women were more restrained, while the children did not hide their excitement at all.

"Dad, Daddy..."

Xiao Tingzi ran so fast that he almost bumped into the dog, he circled around and threw himself into Wang Yuan's arms, his smiling face was like a flower.

"Ouch~ I've gained weight, do you miss Dad?"

Wang Yuan picked her up directly with a copy of his hand, pinched her little nose with his rough hands, Xiao Tingzi kicked her calf and giggled non-stop.

"I want to, I can think about it, mom misses you too..."

Li Yan, who came over, blushed instantly: "What nonsense is this kid talking, get off your father quickly, your father is also very tired."

She walked around behind Wang Yuan and unloaded the basket, and exclaimed instantly: "Oh my god, it's so heavy, what did you bring? Bear's paw, pork leg, roe deer meat? What is this? Bear bile... "

"Go, let's go home!"

The meal in the evening was very sumptuous, and Li Yan, who didn't like Wang Yuan's drinking all the time, also poured wine for him rarely. The clear liquid fell into the cup and exuded a strong aroma of wine.

"Ah, the wine poured by my wife is delicious."

"Bah~ This is the last drink, drink too much and get drunk later."

"Just go to bed when you're drunk, isn't it good? Hahaha~"

"I don't feel ashamed, I'm full after eating a meal every day..." Li Yan put chicken cakes for the children, and quickly said:
"Let's talk about your experiences these days, what a black and blind man, I want to hear."

"Okay, then I'll tell you more." Wang Yuan took a sip of his wine, and then began to talk about their glorious deeds again.

Not only did Li Yan listen carefully, but the three little guys also listened with wide-eyed eyes, wondering if they could understand.

……

The next morning, Wang Yuan didn't think about it at all, and Li Yan asked Li Yan to rub his back a little sore from the infection.

"Dad, big slob..."

Xiao Tingzi came to make a fuss first, jumping and jumping on the quilt almost made Wang Yuan die, the other two little guys saw that the elder sister was playing so well, they also came to make a fuss, Wang Yuan almost vomited blood in an instant.

"Hehehe, Gaha, Dad is going to beat you up later!"

Li Yan quickly ran in from the main room and took the three little guys out.

Soon, three hounds also ran in wagging their tails. Their big heads could lick Wang Yuan's head as soon as they lifted their necks.

"Cheep~"

"Stupid dog! I owe you a beating!"

"Wang~"

The three hounds were not afraid of Wang Yuan at all, they thought Wang Yuan was going to play with them. They jumped up instantly, grinned, and swooped in place, wagging their big tails and cracking the cabinet.

"Get out!"

Wang Yuan reached out and picked up a cotton shoe from the ground, whoosh~ the corner of the wall where the cotton shoe hit frightened the three dogs to run out quickly.

Grumbling, "Wow~" It turned out that the two wolves had bumped into the pot, but soon the big wolf ran back thievingly, picked up one of Wang Yuan's cotton shoes and ran away.

"Hey! Hey~ You silly dog, bring my shoes back to me! Swallows chase after me, the dog has taken my shoes away!"

The dog teeth are very sharp, and after a while the shoe will have to be torn apart, but the shoe was sewn by Li Yan stitch by stitch... soon there was Li Yan's scolding from the yard, and after a while Li Yan entered the house but gave Wang Yuan brought another pair of shoes:
"Put on the new ones, I'll give you the old ones... Eh? Someone's here?"

"Who?"

"Liu Hui."

With a loud questioning sound, Liu Hui, who was wearing a dog fur hat, entered the house with a smile. After spending so many days together, the hounds knew him and did not bite him.

"Yo~ Wang Yuan, you haven't gotten up yet? My hand is getting cold. Stretch it under the quilt and warm me up."

"Fuck off, your hands and claws are frozen to death..."

Liu Hui planned to go to the city with Wang Meng to sell some of the flying dragons, bear bile, bear paws, roe deer meat, bear meat, bear skin, etc. they harvested this time.

It is estimated that there are more than 5000 yuan. Even if it is divided into 6 shares, each family can get nearly 1000 yuan. This is really a lot for the relatively poor Wang Meng and Liu Hui.

"Okay, you go, don't go anywhere else, just go to the Dayuan butcher shop in the city, I know the owner there, I will call him later, I will definitely give you a high price, bear bile, bear skin Let’s also sell it to them along the way.”

"Really!?"

Liu Hui was very happy: "I know you have a lot of opportunities! It's called Dayuan Butcher Shop, right? Okay, I know."

It is very rare for rural people to go to the city to sell something. Not only is it a long journey, it is difficult to find a place, but also they have a weak mouth and a weak heart. It is difficult not to be lowered by various dealers who can speak well.

Most of the time, I was in a hurry to argue with people for nothing, was run on by others, and sold to others at a low price after losing a lot of money. Not only did I not make any money, but I was also angry.

After Liu Hui left, his voice calling for Wang Meng next door came from outside the yard, and soon the two of them rode two motorcycles and chug away wearing four-framed things.

Of course not all the meat was sold.

The remaining ones are shared by each family, and the family can also share a dozen catties of roe deer meat and bear meat, which can be eaten with the family.

Li Yan made breakfast, and when she came in to call Wang Yuan for dinner, she saw that Wang Yuan was already up, put on cotton shoes and walked to the counter, not knowing who she was talking to on the phone.

After Wang Yuan finished making the phone call, Li Yan asked curiously, "Are you on the phone with the owner of the Dayuan butcher shop you mentioned?"

"Why are you so stupid? I'm the owner of Dayuan Butcher Shop. I called Sun Dagang and asked him to call the manager of Dayuan Butcher Shop in the city..."

"Oh, I forgot, yes, Dayuan Butcher Shop belongs to our family."

The chicken farming cooperative made a lot of money, and the money it earned was lying in the bank and it was quite a loss. So after Wang Yuan agreed, Sun Dagang used the money to fix a lot of directly-operated farms, slaughterhouses, transportation companies, Butcher shop, deli and more.

There is resistance. Fights are very fierce in this era, and slaughterhouses are the hardest hit areas for fighting for business... But the chicken farming cooperative has a lot of aggressive bodyguards, and fights are real.

It's almost noon.

Wang Yuan was chatting with a group of people in front of the canteen with his second daughter in his arms. Liu Hui and Wang Meng came back on motorcycles.

Feng Bing, with his hands in his hands, stood near the side of the road, and asked with a smile, "Hey, did you go to the city to sell things? How much did you sell for?"

The chattering people stopped chattering for a moment, and they all looked at Liu Hui and Wang Meng. It would be fine if everyone didn’t have money, but it would be too annoying if you don’t have money and others have it. up.

"There is not much money, no money, let's go, we can talk when we have time."

Liu Hui laughed and left on his motorcycle. He didn't say how much money he got. As long as he said a few, some people think it's less, and some people think it's more.

People who feel less will disdain them, and even laugh at them for earning such a little. People who feel more will probably be angry, jealous, and probably won't say anything good in their hearts.

So there's no need to be controversial.

Near noon, the smoke from the chimneys of people who cook earlier is already wafting out. The sun is shining brightly, and the snow is slowly melting.

Everyone went back to their respective houses, and Wang Yuan also carried the child back home. As a result, Wang Meng came after he arrived home.

"Did Meng Zi eat yet? Let's have some food together here."

"No, no, it's done at home."

Wang Meng secretly glanced at the latest "Snowflake" refrigerator in the corner. His wife Zhang Qian mentioned to him several times that Wang Yuan's family changed the refrigerator, and he also understood what his wife meant but just kept pretending not to know.

Replacing a new refrigerator can cost a lot of money.

But now you can change it after you have a certain amount of income.

"Bear meat, bear bile, roe deer meat and so on were sold for a total of 6215 yuan. Liu Hui voluntarily asked for 1 yuan less and he said that it would be divided, so each of us was 1036 yuan, and Liu Hui was 1035 yuan."

Wang Meng took out a wad of money from his pocket, the big ones were the lower ones and the smaller ones were the top ones.

This is the result of the six of them eating a lot of good things in the mountains. If they eat less flying dragon and bear meat, they will earn more money.

1000 yuan—equivalent to half a year's income for many people, it's really a lot, and the hardship of freezing is worth it.

"Do you want to spend it? If you want to spend it, use it first."

"No need, I still have money at home, huh~ this big white cat sleeps really well." Wang Meng touched the big white cat sleeping in the sun, and the latter rolled over with its little paws hooked, and cried out: " meow~"

"Then you can eat, I'm going back."

Wang Yuan sent Wang Meng to the door, and when he came back, he happened to have a meal.

Li Yan originally wanted to cook more meat dishes, but Wang Yuan really had enough meat in the mountains these days, so under his strong request, Li Yan made a lot of vegetarian dishes.

Stir-fried cucumbers, stir-fried tomatoes, fried shredded potatoes, fried beans... There is also a dish of scrambled eggs with tomatoes, which is Li Yan's favorite.

"You guys eat meat every day in the mountains?" Li Yan said casually as she put the food on the table.

"Yeah, there is nothing to eat except meat... The millet, sticky bean buns, and dried vegetables I brought were all eaten within a few days, and then there were no pickles. When the last piece of Jerusalem artichoke was left, Liu Hui and Wang Tigers still wrestle, whoever wins will eat, hahaha~"

"You guys just like to be noisy, what's so delicious about Jerusalem artichoke." Li Yan pursed her lips and laughed, took a piece of egg and blew it cold to feed to the children.

"Hey~ You don't know the situation at that time. Eating meat every day, except for stewing and roasting, I'm a little tired of eating...It's dark at 5 o'clock in the evening, and I can't sleep after eating, so let's play together , it's very lively."

Wang Yuan still misses the scene at that time. A group of friends get together every day in a very leisurely way, with constant laughter.

After eating, Li Yan put away the table, turned on the TV and looked around, but there was nothing interesting, so she turned off the TV and took out a deck of cards to teach Xiaotingzi how to learn numbers.

Xiaotingzi was born on the second day of the second month of the lunar calendar, her big birthday. She is already 5 years old and will be 6 years old in a year. Li Yan wants to send her to the Yuhong Class next year.

The kindergarten here in Wangjiatun is not called kindergarten, but the preschool class is called Yuhong Class. As the name suggests...to cultivate...

After studying in Yuhong Class for one year, you can go to the first grade of elementary school.

Since the birth of the second and third child, more or less love for Xiaotingzi has been reduced. The little girl seems to have grown up overnight, which may be related to what Li Yan often said about her—you are the eldest sister, and you have to take care of your younger siblings what.

Xiao Tingzi became a lot more mature after being ignorant, but in fact she was just a child who couldn't even climb up the kang by herself.

"There's no need to let her go to school in such a hurry. School is so controlled. Let her play for one more year after only a few years of childhood."

"What are you talking about? Our Xiaotingzi is so smart. I can't delay it. I still want to train her to be a college student... It doesn't matter if I didn't go to college myself. I can be the mother of a college student!"

Li Yan laughed by herself after speaking, Wang Yuan looked at her helplessly, and then asked Xiao Tingzi if she would like to go to school or play for one more year, but Xiao Tingzi was too young and she was too ignorant to make a decision .

Wang Yuan directly made a decision: "I understand what you mean, do you want to play for another year? Then play for another year. Anyway, children of your age rarely learn so early."

"Pfft~ How did you figure it out!? All right, all right, just do as you said."

She also felt that it was good to be followed by the little follower every day, so she agreed.

Time passed, and it was early March 1995 in a blink of an eye.

Early this morning, Wang Yuan just came out of the thatched building with a cigarette in his mouth and was wearing a string belt. A motorcycle rode over, a courier from the post office.

Ten years ago, motorcycles were very, very expensive, but by 1995 many rural families could afford them.

Ten years ago, an ordinary motorcycle cost several thousand yuan, and ten years later it will basically be the same price. However, the income of many people has risen from 2 to 3 yuan a day to 5 to 8 yuan.

"Wang Yuan has your letter and courier, and it was sent from abroad."

Wang Yuan thought that it was from Li Hang, and after signing for it, it was correct. In the letter, he told about the situation abroad and what happened around him, and wrote 5 large sheets of paper with eloquence.

Although it seems a bit long-winded, Wang Yuan guessed that writing a few more sheets of paper might not charge more money, so he didn't write for nothing.

As for the package - after opening it, the contents inside were very miscellaneous. There were more than a dozen ancient coins belonging to China, two seals, an ancient book bound in thread, and a few children's toys besides that.

The antiques were bought by Li Hang from foreign flea markets, and they were sent across the ocean to Wang Yuan; the small toys were given to his children.

"What did Li Hang say in the letter?" Li Yan asked curiously.

"Here, you can see."

Wang Yuan turned around and distributed the toys to the children, telling them one by one not to fight.

He took a nap in the afternoon, and when he woke up, it was already past 4 o'clock in the afternoon. Hearing the cold wind whistling outside, stroking the big white cat lying on his chest, Wang Yuan felt very enjoyable.

Spring is the season when the ice and snow melt, the snow doesn’t turn cold, the whistling wind is really cool, the real spring is cold.

"When did you come up to my chest, big white cat? Look at your fat, one cat is almost worth two cats."

Wang Yuan pinched the big white cat's chubby face, but accidentally pulled off one of her beards.

"Meow~" the big white cat yelled angrily, and Wang Yuan stretched out his hand to pat her head: "It's okay, it's okay, just a beard, I'll put it back in for you... Oh, I'm going! There are fleas!"

Seeing that a flea first jumped onto Wang Yuan's hand, whoosh~ and then jumped directly onto his face, he got up in a daze, smirked but disappeared when he looked for the flea again.

"It's over, I can't see, I'm blind."

Wang Yuan was so depressed. After searching for a while, he still couldn't find it, so he stopped looking. After thinking about it, he found a few pieces of letter paper and an envelope and began to write a letter to Li Hang abroad.
