Catch the Mountain 1985

Chapter 203 Wang Xiaoli was urged to marry
Zhang Peng looked at Mr. Zhao's wilting face with a smile, and he got angry and poured a glass of water to moisten his throat. He used all the words in his life on this compliment, and no one else did.

Zhao Laowen looked at Zhang Peng with a smile, and then took a puff of cigarette and looked outside. He hadn't felt like this for a long time. He felt very lively. He had been alone for a long time, maybe he was older, and his personality was really a bit... He was withdrawn, and after Zhang Peng made such a fuss, he felt like he had gotten better.

"Uncle, what are you thinking about?" Zhang Peng looked at Zhao Laowen with his eyes looking outside, but said nothing, and asked in confusion.

"I was thinking about how to get you more deer," Zhao Laowen said angrily.

"Hehe, think about it slowly. Anyway, I'm relying on you for this deer matter." Zhang Peng also smiled.

"I haven't gone up the mountain recently. How is the mountain now?" Zhao Laowen took a puff of cigarette and then asked Zhang Peng.

"It's not good. There's basically nothing left. We were lucky enough to get this. Uncle Cui said that the village's hunting team didn't find any large animals when they went up the mountain, just some wild rabbits, pheasants and the like. "Zhang Peng said seriously to Zhao Laowen.

"This is not a good thing. These things have probably been driven into the mountains, but they will definitely come back next spring and summer. Plus, there is nothing that poses a threat to them, tsk tsk..." Zhao Laowen's words No further words were said, it was obvious that this was not normal.

"Uncle, there is nothing we can do about this, but it is still good news. Next year will be a good harvest for us if we get it right," Zhang Peng also said to Zhao Laowen with a smile.

"There's nothing wrong with that. Next year's harvest is destined to be a lot. How are you going to prepare?" Zhao Laowen looked at Zhang Peng and still wanted to test him.

"Ah? What can we do? Just go up to the mountains to fight as usual and sell them when we get back. We can't keep these things at home," Zhang Peng also said.

"You are stupid. How much can you get from selling these things? Besides, next year the village will definitely go to the mountains to catch a batch, and the price of this meat will definitely drop. You may not be able to get it several times after working for a long time." Zhao Lao Wei took out a breath of smoke and then said to Zhang Peng.

Zhang Peng thought about it and felt that this was the case. If there were more of these things, the price would naturally decrease. This is in line with the law.

"What about it? Even if it's low, it's still money. You can't just leave it alone. That would be too wasteful." Zhang Peng said to Zhao Laowen.

"Who told you to just ignore it? There are many opportunities to make money next year, so you just aim to hunt? The treasures on the mountain are not money, and lifting a stick is not money? Even if you go up the mountain to hunt, you can't be blind, you must have some goals. "Yeah," Zhao Laowen responded angrily.

"Oh, uncle, don't be so pretentious. Just tell me how to deal with it. I'll listen to you." Zhang Peng was also anxious and said to Zhao Laowen.

"What I want to say is that we should mainly focus on rare skins. As for the meat and other things, we just have to take care of it. Then we will engage in breeding and go to the mountains to collect wild products according to the season. At this rate, I estimate that you will have enough by the end of the year." Zhao Laowen smiled. said.

Zhang Peng lowered his head and thought for a moment, then raised his head and said to Zhao Laowen: "Okay, uncle, I will listen to you."

While Zhang Peng and Zhao Laowen were chatting about next year's plans, Wang Xiaoli also encountered something that made him feel a little troubled.

What happened was after Wang Xiaoli returned home. Wang Xiaoli and Hou Damao carried the roe deer home and unloaded one roe deer. Then Hou Damao carried the other one and went home. Wang Xiaoli also put the roe deer inside the house and prepared to melt it. The skin was skinned as soon as it melted. Wang Xiaoli's grandma was so happy that she couldn't open her mouth from ear to ear when she saw the whole roe deer. "Grandson, this whole one belongs to our family, right?" Grandma Wang Xiaoli said with a smile.

"Well, the milk belongs to us. The harvest this time is pretty good. This is the whole milk that has been distributed to our family." Wang Xiaoli also said excitedly.

This roe deer is quite tall and has a lot of meat on it. Although it is not a big fat meat, and the roe deer meat stew is relatively oily, his family really does not lack meat and oil, and the roe deer meat is enough for them to eat. It’s after the Chinese New Year.

"Grandson, please stop working now. I have something to tell you." Grandma Wang Xiaoli stopped Wang Xiaoli and said

"What's wrong? Grandma" Wang Xiaoli came to grandma and said.

"Isn't it true that the family has made a lot of money recently, and then all the foreign debts have been paid off, and other favors will have to be paid back slowly. You are now an old man, so you have to think about it in the future," Grandma Wang Xiaoli said.

"There's nothing to think about. It's too early now." Wang Xiaoli understood what grandma meant, but now that things have just improved and the family's savings are not much, people who want to get married at this time don't look down on her, so they won't blame her.

"Why don't you think about it? I still want to hold my grandson." Grandma Wang Xiaoli also changed her expression and said.
"Mom, we really have to wait for the current situation in our family. Although we don't have any external debts now, we don't have much money left from last time. Plus the cost of the wedding, thinking about this money gives me a headache. Let's forget it, let's talk about it after a while and see how the situation is next year. If it's okay, then let's talk about it again," Wang Xiaoli also explained.

"Well...it's not impossible to find a partner if you don't have money. Our family is not bad at all." When Grandma Wang Xiaoli heard what Wang Xiaoli said, she lowered her head and thought for a while, and then murmured to herself.

Wang Xiaoli also smiled when he saw this. He could understand the old man's idea of ​​having a grandson, but it was still too early. He had nothing, so how could he get married? Besides, he had been introduced to someone before, but as long as it was someone else, After hearing about the situation at his family and having a grandma with him, he immediately had no idea of ​​continuing the conversation. This is not to blame, no one wants to marry and live in debt.

This also made Wang Xiaoli even more determined that in order to make money, he must make a lot of money. Once he has money, these things will no longer matter. This has also become an obsession in his heart. If he doesn't steam the steamed buns, he still has to fight for his reputation.

In the end, there was no conclusion to this matter, but his grandma was really not very happy, which made Wang Xiaoli, who was originally in a good mood, very upset. He used a ladle to scoop out the water from the water tank in the outer room, and then ignored the cold water and kept making a gurgling sound. After taking a deep breath, he calmed himself down.

Oh, why are you thinking so much? If you don't think about it anymore, the things in front of you are still important, Wang Xiaoli thought to himself.

Then he ate his food, waited for the roe deer to melt slightly, and then began to carefully pick up the roe deer skin. Although the roe deer skin was not very valuable, it was of great use to him. He could save some to make leather pants, or even wear it. It would be nice to just make it into a leather mat, so you don't have to lie in the snow when you go up the mountain.

An hour had passed by the time the roe deer was completely skinned. Wang Xiaoli stood up and shook his sore arms. He was still not very skilled at this job, and compared to Zhang Peng, he was in the sky.

"Grandson, let's take a break. The roe deer is so frozen and hard now that it's hard to handle." Although Grandma Wang Xiaoli was not very happy, she still said distressedly beside her.
"Well, I'll do it later, grandma, you go and have a rest first, and then go into the house when I'm done." Wang Xiaoli said as he saw his grandma standing nearby and watching him doing it.

"It's okay, I'm not tired at all. When it's done, I'll cut off a piece of meat and stew roe deer meat for you," Grandma Wang Xiaoli said.
"Well, okay" Wang Xiaoli also responded to grandma, this is life.
