hunting in 1986

Chapter 92

Wang Yuan put all the jade brave and antique porcelain into the space, then found a delicatessen and bought a few catties of cooked mutton, and went to County No. [-] Middle School to leave two catties for his younger sister Wang Qing.

I went to the supply and marketing agency to buy two cans and some cakes, and then rode my bicycle to the house.

night.

Wang Yuan called his cousins ​​Wang Meng and Wang Hu to his home, put a table on the kang, drank and ate delicious rabbit meat.

Li Yan, Zhang Qian and the little girl set up another table in the outhouse. They couldn't chat together without drinking, so they ate outside.

rumbling~
There was a muffled thunder in the sky outside the window, and the heavy rain came one after another, rustling~ The raindrops fell on the small mountain village, on the roof, on the window sill, on the ground and on the apex of people's hearts.

"Close the windows quickly, let it rain (shao) inside the house."

"The opera box said there was no rain, why is it still raining?"

"Come on, we won't get wet anyway, come and drink."

Wang Yuan, Wang Meng, and Wang Hu had a drink, and then picked up a piece of delicious rabbit meat and ate it. The rabbit meat was fried and colored, fat and thin.

When Wang Yuan talked to Li Shen, Li Hang, Er Gou and others, he would usually go through what he wanted to say in his head before saying it, so as not to say the wrong thing.

Doing so will make the speech more structured and command the respect of others, but it will also be more tiring.

But chatting with Wang Meng and Wang Hu, there is no such trouble at all.

Everyone says what they want to say, and they can lie down when they are tired from sitting. It is very relaxing and enjoyable.

The three talked about everything, from farming to hunting, to women, making money, farming, tobacco, story books, murderers, interesting things in the village and so on.

It wasn't until after 11 o'clock at night that we chatted to our heart's content.

"Ah~" The little girl climbed onto the kang, took a piece of rabbit meat and ate it in Wang Yuan's arms: "Second brother, why are you so good at speaking? Are you not sleepy?"

"Huh? Little girl, you want to be beaten again, don't you?"

"Hee hee, don't hit me, my mother hasn't hit me for three days."

The little girl's words instantly made Wang Yuan, Wang Meng and Wang Hu laugh.

It was getting late, Wang Meng, Zhang Qian and Wang Hu left after tidying up, wearing ponchos made of chemical fertilizer bags to cover the rain.

Wang Yuan's family has a lot of story books, and Wang Hu has recently become obsessed with reading. After reading "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and "Journey to the West", he brought back a copy of "Water Margin" this time.

"Hurry up and return "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and "Journey to the West" tomorrow, I want to read them too."

"I know I know~"

After sending the three of them away, Wang Yuan closed the door and went back to sleep. The little girl stayed in the courtyard. Li Yan spread the mattress and quilt for her, but the little girl sat on the kang in a daze.

She always felt that something was missing.

Then she suddenly remembered that her big white cat was not in this yard.

"I... my cat is not here."

"What kind of cat is not a cat, go to bed quickly."

Wang Yuan had already drank a lot of wine, and today he was tired all day, got under the covers and quickly fell asleep.

The little girl pursed her lips, but she had no choice but to go to bed quickly, and soon the room became completely quiet.

the other side.

Zhang Qian and Wang Meng also returned to their own home.

Wang Meng's face turned red from drinking, and he wanted to sleep while lying on the kang.

Zhang Qian poured herself a bowl of water, then grabbed a handful of melon seeds and ate them:
"Brother's family is really rich. You were drinking in the back room just now, and I was chatting with Li Yan in the out room. She said that the chicken farm can produce more than a hundred catties of eggs a day!"

Wang Meng's heart was not drunk, he lay on the kang with his eyes closed and said: "Don't just look at the eggs, the chicken food also costs a lot of money, and you have to manage it every day, so you don't have to worry about it."

"How about making money!? A hundred or so catties of eggs a day are worth a fortune."

"Why do you want to raise it too? I work in a forest farm, did you fix it yourself?"

Zhang Qian stopped talking for a moment.

……

The time passed, and in a blink of an eye came July 1987, 7.

Second aunt's house.

The second aunt looked at the sun outside, and said worriedly: "I don't know if that girl Xiaofang can pass the exam this year? If she can't pass the exam in the second year, what will happen then?"

The room was full of people, grandparents, third aunt, Wang Yuan's parents, him, Li Yan, Wang Hu, Zhang Qian and so on.

Wang Hu was eating watermelon, and said while eating: "Xiaofang's grades have improved so much this year, I can see it all, second aunt, put your heart in your stomach, you will definitely pass the exam!"

The third aunt also persuaded: "Yes, didn't Xiaoyuan give her tutoring? It must be fine."

Everyone persuaded her, and the second aunt's tired spirit finally relaxed a lot.

"I'm just worried that she's too nervous. This kid gets nervous every time the exam comes, and he can't get the questions right in the end."

Today is the day when junior high school students take the entrance examination for technical secondary school, and it is also a fateful day for countless junior high school students from rural areas. If they can pass the entrance examination, it can be said that they will reach the sky in an instant.

If you fail the exam, you may have to go home to pang, face the loess and back to the sky, with a drop of sweat falling eight petals.

Unlike later generations, farmers in later generations can work part-time. Most farmers in this era can only rely on farming a little land and pay public grain. Life is almost like a pool of stagnant water without waves, and the end can be seen at a glance.

After a long time, the second uncle finally picked up Wang Fang on a bicycle. The latter was wearing a patched blue cloth jacket, black cloth trousers, and a hand-stitched messenger bag that was a schoolbag.

She looked tired.

"How are you doing, how are you doing in the exam?" Second Aunt was the most anxious.

The second uncle said with a smile: "I just finished the exam and haven't got a score yet. Why are you in a hurry? Everyone is here, so let's have dinner together tonight."

Everyone agreed, and then started to cook. The second uncle said that he came back with 10 catties of pork, put vermicelli, cabbage, tofu and so on and stewed it, which was enough for everyone to eat.

The smoke curled up.

A few good old women in the village came to inquire about the news, wanting to know whether Wang Fang had passed the exam.

The second uncle walked into the house with the wooden box in his arms: "The score hasn't been awarded yet, anyway, the test is average, so let's see when the score is out."

Hearing the word "general", the people who came to inquire about the news breathed a sigh of relief, and then hurried away. In the next few days, word spread in Wangjiatun and the surrounding villages——Wang Fang failed the entrance examination Specialize.

However, after half a month, Wang Fang's admission notice came down, which instantly aroused the envy and hatred of a group of people.

Originally, we all lived in the countryside together, and it was fair and equal to be poor together, but some people wanted to get their jobs in the city.

The gap formed after the comparison made many people very painful, and then jealous.

night.

The whole family had a happy meal, and the little girl wanted to feed the big white cat a piece of meat, but her mother slapped the big white cat directly, and the scared little girl let out a "hum" and stuffed the piece of meat into her mouth .

Eat and drink enough, sit in the small courtyard of the second uncle's house to enjoy the coolness, chat, and relax.

The pigs in the pigsty occasionally hummed a few times, and there were crickets calling around. When you looked up, you could see the stars in the sky. Time was flowing slowly, and even your heart seemed to calm down.

Little girl, Xiaohua, and Xiaoleizi were running around, laughing and fighting constantly.

While the others were talking, Wang Yuan took the time to ask Wang Fang: "Xiaofang, how did you do in the exam?"

Wang Fang was full at night, and now she sat on the small bench and didn't want to move at all: "It's okay, this year's questions seem to be easy anyway, I have done it anyway, thanks to the second brother, you gave me tutoring."

"Haha, just do it all, take a good rest for a few days, the devilish life is over."
