Catch the Mountain 1985

Chapter 173
A piece of leopard skin can now be sold for [-] yuan. This is something Zhang Tiejun and Zhao Decai never expected. When did the price of this skin rise so much?

"Well, I know Feng Xiangfu, the skin collector. He has a lot of money in his hands. He collects skins back and forth in these villages. It is said that there is a way to go abroad, but I don't know whether it is true or not." Zhao Decai finished listening. Zhang Peng and Zhao Chunming also said that
"Decai, is this reliable?" Zhang Tiejun asked quickly
"It shouldn't be too bad. This Feng Xiangfu can be regarded as a perennial collector and has a good reputation. I have never heard of him deceiving others." Zhao Decai thought for a while and replied.
"That's fine, I'm afraid you didn't come here to tease Mengzi." Zhang Tiejun breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and then he became happy.

"Haha, okay, you guys can make enough money for the two of us for several years this time," Zhang Tiejun said with emotion to Zhang Peng and Zhao Chunming.

"Yeah, brother, why do we feel that we are both old? It is so easy to make money now?" Zhao Decai also said jokingly next to him

Zhang Tiejun thinks about it. Since Zhang Peng went up the mountain, the living standard of his family has obviously improved. Especially after Zhang Peng took out the mallet, the family has turned around. Although he did not owe other people money before, , but the family always has no money left. After all, Zhang Peng takes the lion's share of the money, and the salary he gets is monthly.

But now, every time he earns hundreds or even thousands, Zhang Tiejun feels that he is really old. This is what he will do for the rest of his life, and he will have to really rely on his son in the future.

"Why? This is all quick money, how can it be so stable? You two should be careful when going up the mountain in the future." Zhang Tiejun also said with a straight face. No matter what, he is still his father, so he must have this face no matter what.

"I know, Dad" Zhang Peng said to Zhang Tiejun

"Haha, but I really need to drink a few sips today, it feels so good." Zhang Tiejun also laughed and said, why does this mood become so good? First of all, let me make it clear that I am not doing it for money.

Wang Xiufen and Li Cuihua were watching the conversation between father and son with laughter on the kang. Their sons were promising, and they must be happy to be mothers.

"Okay, you're all hungry. Let's chat while we eat. Son, bring out the wine," Wang Xiufen greeted, and got off the kang to put on her shoes and prepare to go to the outhouse.

"Okay." Zhang Peng and Zhao Chunming also responded when they heard this.
Zhang Peng went to move the wine, while Zhao Chunming moved the table. The two had a clear division of labor. After a while, Zhang Peng and the others put the food on the table. It was still the same today, pork stewed with sauerkraut, roe deer meat roasted with potatoes, homely cooking. Cold dishes, steamed chicken cakes, fried salted fish, fried peanuts.

Wang Xiufen knew that Zhang Tiejun and Zhao Decai would be back today, and she would be happy to hear the news, so she specially prepared three dishes to go with the wine so that they could have something to drink at night. After all, it was just these two families who would take them back after drinking too much.

With the sound of eating and drinking, plus the clinking of glasses and shouting from time to time, the room was very lively for a while, and this meal lasted until midnight.

The next morning, it was already past eight o'clock when Zhang Peng got up and tidied the house. He went out to feed the rhubarbs as usual. Yesterday, Zhang Tiejun and Zhao Decai drank too much and sang and danced. They must have suppressed themselves for a long time. Now they learned that the family With the new big income, the living conditions at home will soon change dramatically, and they are also happy in their hearts. Although they don't say it, they did release it through the alcohol last night, and the result was that they both lay down. , I haven’t woken up yet.

Zhang Peng also shook his head. These two old people were like children, but they understood it. After all, the wages were not high these days, and they had to support their families. They had to count every month to survive. You can imagine the pressure.

In the morning, Zhao Chunming ran to the village workers to tell them that they both had a day off today. Even going to work in this state was dangerous, so it was better to rest at home. In fact, there were also many people at home today. This kind of guarding against others is indispensable.After Zhang Peng fed the rhubarb, they were about to turn around and return to the house when they saw Wang Xiaoli and Hou Damao coming from a distance. When they saw Zhang Peng in the yard, they also walked a few steps quickly into the yard.

"Second brother, we are here" Wang Xiaoli said hello
"Haha, here we come, hurry into the house, I'm going to kill you with my hands." Zhang Peng also smiled and waved his hand, gesturing for them to enter the house.
Then Da Mao quickly opened the door and opened the curtain to let Zhang Peng go in first, and then the two of them followed.

"Aunt, we are here." Seeing Wang Xiufen busy outside, Wang Xiaoli and Hou Damao also hurriedly said hello.
"You guys are here, hurry into the house and go to the west room. The uncle in the east room has drunk too much, so don't go there yet," Wang Xiufen ordered
"Okay." After hearing what Wang Xiufen said, Wang Xiaoli and Hou Damao also looked at each other and smiled. They were all the same. Hou Damao's father also drank too much after hearing the news yesterday.
After a while, Zhao Chunming also opened the door and walked in. Now everyone was ready, and he was waiting for Feng Xiangfu to come over.

Zhang Peng and others were chatting, licking and waiting. Although they were calm on the surface, Zhang Peng knew that these people must be agitated in their hearts, thinking about when the collector would come over.

When it was past nine o'clock, there was movement outside. Da Huang was the first to bark, followed by the puppy gang. Zhang Peng quickly got up and asked Zhao Chunming and the others to stay in the house. Don't huff and go out together. They seemed too anxious. good.

Then he pushed the door open and went out. He saw Feng Xiangfu and another young man standing at the entrance of the courtyard, each pushing a bicycle. When he saw Zhang Peng coming out, he smiled and waved.

"Haha, uncle, you are finally here. I'll be waiting for you." Zhang Peng greeted him with a smile.
"Don't worry, we have just come here. For your family's leather, we have to hurry up and hurry up." Feng Xiangfu also said with a smile.
"Hurry up and enter the house. Who is this big brother?" Zhang Peng asked

"Oh, I forgot to mention it. It's not that I can't handle this alone, so I brought my friends over here." Feng Xiangfu had no intention of going into detail.
Zhang Peng looked at the young man in front of him calmly. He could tell that he was a soldier and had a similar temperament. The young man smiled at him but said nothing.

"Then hurry up and go inside. It's freezing outside. You must have been frozen all the way here." Zhang Peng led Feng Xiangfu and the others into the yard, and then asked them to park the car at the door.

Then Feng Xiangfu followed Zhang Peng into the house. When he saw Zhao Chunming and the others, they also smiled and said hello, and Zhao Chunming and the others also responded with smiles. They did not dare to offend the walking Jin Yuanbao.

"Chunming, you go to the warehouse and move all the leather in, and let the uncle check it again," Zhang Peng said to Zhao Chunming and the others.

"Okay" they said and went outside to move the packed leather together.
Zhang Peng poured two glasses of boiling water for them to drink to warm themselves up first, while Feng Xiangfu put the water aside first, then took out seven stacks of large black ten from his bag, and then took out a stack of slightly smaller ones. The younger one also put them together. When Zhao Chunming and the others came back, they were stunned for a moment when they saw the pile of money on the kang.

"Okay, Xiaopeng, we don't want to do ink either. Let's do it at the same time now," Feng Xiangfu said to Zhang Peng.
Zhang Peng nodded in response, and then began to count the money, while Feng Xiangfu checked it carefully again. After a while, both parties had finished their work, and both said they found no major problems.
