Siheyuan: living in a prosperous era

Chapter 72 Hunting
"Second brother, how about we go hunting and having fun at the Ming Tombs tomorrow and Sunday?"

Yang Shuchen suddenly proposed to go hunting, which made Yang Shuning feel itchy. There are some men who don't like to play with guns.

"The Ming Tombs are in Changping. Isn't it too far? It's more than 30 kilometers away."

Before Yang Shuning could agree, Ding Qiunan issued a different opinion.

"Sister-in-law, it's okay. I'll borrow a jeep from my father-in-law tomorrow, and I'll borrow two guns by the way. The Type 53 rifle in the security office is good."

Yang Shuning made a suggestion. It would be okay if the car was in reverse. At most, two bicycles would be enough, but it would not work if there was no gun.

Although Yang Shuning and Yang Shuchen are both military officers and have gun certificates, their guns are Type 54 pistols, which are used for self-defense and attacking enemies at close range. The effective range is 50m, and they can also shoot within 100m, but basically It has no power anymore.It's okay for self-defense, but it's really not powerful enough for hunting in the mountains.
So I had to borrow two long rifles. It just so happened that the security office had Type 53 rifles that had been retired by the troops. As for the Type 56 semi-automatic rifles that have become famous in later generations, the front-line troops have not yet finished installing them. It is not yet their turn. A second-line violent department like the Security Department.

Our country's first mass-produced standard rifle turned out to be a copy of the Bear Country's Mosin Nagant rifle, which we call the Type 53 rifle.The original version also had a nickname, called the Water Link Rifle.

"Well, okay, we will go to Uncle Wang's place later and leave early tomorrow morning."

Yang Shuchen also had itchy hands. When he arrived at the District People's Armed Forces Department, he sat in the office. He hadn't gone to the wild to shoot for a long time, so he took this opportunity to have fun with Yang Shuning.

"Go ahead. If there are any prey, just give it to Qiu Nan's family. Also, take your hatchet with you and chop some firewood back. The firewood at home is almost gone."

Yang's mother agreed that the two of them should go hunting. Both brothers knew shooting skills and could cooperate with each other, so safety was not a problem.Even if you don't catch any prey, you can bring back some firewood for cooking.

"Mom, there are firewood sellers on the street. A bundle of firewood only costs five cents. You don't have to bother us, right?"

Of course Yang Shuning knew that the one bundled with firewood was not much thicker than Wang Xue's waist. He bought it when he didn't have any at home. How could he not be familiar with it?

"Isn't this a casual thing? If we can't hunt wild boar or something, at least we can still harvest firewood."

The two brothers, Yang Shuning and Yang Shuchen, looked at each other and booed each other. It was Yang's mother's trick. She didn't believe that the two of them could catch the prey, so they had to go chop wood in disguise.

"Mom, if you don't believe in my marksmanship, you have to believe in my elder brother's. My elder brother is from a reconnaissance company and his marksmanship is very accurate. I will take care of the big wild boar and bring it back tomorrow."

Yang Shuning retorted, he didn't want to chop wood. The main reason was that he didn't know how to chop wood. He had never chopped wood in his entire life.

"what……"

"Haha... Big brother, second brother, I want to go too."

"Hahaha……"

Wang Xue, Yang Shuhao and Ding Qiunan laughed. They were amused by what Yang Shuning said.But Yang Shuhao also wants to go hunting. Hunting is much better than playing at home.

Yang Shuchen was also drunk. Yang Shuning was giving him a high hat. What if he didn't meet a wild boar tomorrow?
"Brother, don't worry, you can definitely hit one end."

Yang Shuning patted Yang Shuchen on the shoulder and said it confidently.

"It's up to you, but Xiaohao, you're not allowed to go. How old are you? It's too young. It's dangerous in the mountains. What will happen if your eldest and second brothers can't take care of you? You'd better go when you grow up. In the morning, you can send Qiu Nan home, and Ning'er can go to her in-laws."

Yang's mother rejected Yang Shuhao's idea on the grounds of safety. Yang Shuning also felt that Yang Shuhao was too young and had not graduated from junior high school.

After the discussion, Yang Shuchen sent Ding Qiunan home, while Yang Shuning went to his father-in-law's house.

Wang Xue was already pregnant, and it was dark at night. Apart from the sparse street lights, there was only the electric light on the front of the bicycle. It would be bad if there was a collision and irreparable consequences, so Yang Shuning did not take Wang Xue back to her parents' home.

When he arrived at the cadre building of the steel rolling mill, Yang Shuning parked his bicycle and went to his father-in-law's house and knocked on the door.

"Who is it?" "Dad, it's me, Shu Ning. I have something to do with you."

When his father-in-law opened the door, he asked:

"You came to see me late at night. Is there anything urgent?"

Yang Shuning came in and put down a can of malted milk and two kilograms of peach cakes and said:

"It's nothing urgent. The main thing is that my brother and I want to go hunting tomorrow and I'd like to ask you to borrow a jeep from the office and two Type 53 rifles."

The father-in-law was relieved after hearing this and thought something urgent had happened.

"It's a waste of time this night. You won't call me. Just say it on the phone."

"Dad, haven't I been here for several days? I came to see you and mom. By the way, where are mom and Jianguo?"

"Your mother is visiting with Jianguo. It will take some time to come back. I'll write a note later and you can just go to the factory and borrow it yourself tomorrow."

After the father-in-law finished speaking, he went to get a pen and wrote a note.

"Dad, I want Lou Xiao'e to work in the steel rolling mill. You won't be angry, right?"

Yang Shuning took the note and tested his father-in-law.

"You kid, you are so lucky. Lou Xiao'e is a capitalist lady after all. You dare to attack her? I can tell you whatever you want."

The father-in-law is also a man, and he has made the same mistakes that men make. It is acceptable for him to have Lou Xiao'e. Isn't he just a concubine, but he murmurs about Lou Xiao'e's nature.

"Dad, isn't it time to catch up? From now on, Lou Xiao'e will go to work in the steel rolling mill, please help take care of her."

Yang Shuning was now thick-skinned.

"You kid can do it, but you are so brave to ask me, the real father-in-law, to take care of your concubine. Do you have a job to arrange for her? How about I protect her?"

"Dad, the security department is still short of people? Didn't Director Li give me two places before? As you know, one is for my aunt, and the other is for Lou Xiao'e. Put her under your nose, can't you... …”

"Okay, I've checked Lou Xiao'e. She's Director Lou's daughter. She has a pretty good temper. Otherwise, I would let you go so easily. Be nice to Xue'er in the future. If Lou Xiao'e says, don't come to the security office. There are too many people and it's confusing. , didn’t she graduate from high school? Let her go to the technical department.”

My father-in-law came from the old times, and he had some common male problems, so he was relatively tolerant of Yang Shuning.

"Technical Department? Didn't that happen to Director Yang? It's not very good."

Yang Shuning was a little hesitant. Factory Director Yang was in charge of production. Is it appropriate for Lou Xiaoe to work for him?

"Well, you're right. Your job quota was given by Li Huaide, so it's not suitable. Why don't you go to the Women's Federation?"

My father-in-law didn't think it was appropriate, so he gave the suggestion of the Women's Federation.

Yang Shuning felt that the Women's Federation was good, the work was easy, and the people in it were all the wives of leaders, so it was quite suitable for Lou Xiao'e to go.

"Okay, Dad, I'll go back first."

Yang Shuning went home after finishing his work.
