Catch the Mountain 1985

Chapter 213
The four Zhang Peng people in the West House sat cross-legged on the Kang and gathered in a circle. Everyone looked at Zhang Peng, or to be precise, they looked at the pocket in Zhang Peng's arms, because the money handed out this time is now in Zhang Peng's pocket. in his arms.

But Xiaohong on the ground looked at Zhao Chunming and the others on the kang with vigilance. Suddenly they came in to snatch his baby. If she hadn't seen Zhang Peng first, Xiaohong would have bared her teeth again.

"Second brother, let's start." Zhao Chunming spoke first and said to Zhang Peng.

"Okay," Zhang Peng said, taking out all the money he had in his arms and placing it on the kang.

When everyone saw the money on the kang, their faces immediately changed into smiles. Looking at the pile of money in front of them, they had never dared to think about it before. How could they make so much money, but they still couldn't follow Zhang Peng? A year later, this was the second time that money was distributed, which made everyone very emotional and very lucky to meet Zhang Peng.

"The money is already here. Let me make it clear first. Xiaoli and Damao have not started to join in the collective hunting in the village, so this part does not belong to you two. The rest can be divided as we agreed before." Zhang Peng said, looking around and seeing everyone nodding slightly, he took the abacus and started to count.

In fact, it's easy to calculate. Wang Xiaoli and Hou Damao didn't participate in the first hunt on the mountain, so it can only be counted as the second time. Although it is said to be the second time, it is actually the hunting of wild wolves and jackals that came down the mountain. , not much after all.

So in the end, the total of all kinds of meat turned in was 2458 kilograms. Including the second collective round-up, it was just 2600 kilograms, 6 cents per kilogram, a total of 1560 yuan. Wang Xiaoli and Hou Damao both received 312 yuan. Zhang Peng and Zhao Chunming each received 803.1 yuan, including all the collective hunting.

Even though Wang Xiaoli and Hou Damao have relatively little money, considering that it didn’t take long for them to join, they are already very satisfied if they can get a few hundred yuan. In addition to the money they made from selling leather before, their income this year is also Quite abundant.

When Zhang Peng finished dividing the money, everyone was very excited with the money in their hands. This is real. Wang Xiaoli and Hou Damao were even more happy and a little emotional. How long has it been? Just one winter, Zhang Peng and them have already earned so much. If this happens next year, they will really make a fortune.

"How's it going? Is this year's hard work okay?" Zhang Peng asked with a smile as he watched everyone counting the money.

"It's okay to be serious, second brother. If this happens every year from now on, I will wake up laughing even in my dreams." Hou Damao said with a smile when he heard Zhang Peng's words.

"Haha, there's nothing wrong with what Da Mao said. Let's just follow the second brother and slowly make trouble. From now on, our lives will not be the same," Zhao Chunming also said with a smile.

"Okay, don't put a high hat on me, I still know how much I weigh," Zhang Peng said with a smile when he heard what they said.

"Second brother, to be honest, everyone knows what kind of life I lived when we didn't work together. Even if I work with you, to be honest, I'm still upset, but now I I have to say, as long as you can still use me, I will always work with you from now on." Wang Xiaoli said to Zhang Peng with a serious expression.

"Second brother, so are we." Zhao Chunming and Hou Damao heard Wang Xiaoli's words and said to Zhang Peng in unison.

"Brothers, thank you all for your trust. I won't say much else. As long as you follow me, you will definitely earn more than this next year." Zhang Peng was very moved when he heard what everyone said. This is what brothers Trust yourself, and at the same time, you feel that the burden on you is heavier.

"Okay" everyone shouted loudly when they heard it.

Not long after they chatted again, Wang Xiaoli and Hou Damao left first. There were still things at home before the New Year, and the money had to be sent back quickly. They always felt uneasy with it in their pockets. This year was an earth-shaking change for them. Changes, the family no longer has foreign debts, and can still save a little bit. There was really no hope for this day before, but now it has actually happened.

Zhao Chunming, on the other hand, was not in a hurry. Anyway, the two families were so close and he was so familiar with him. He was his brother, so he lay on the kang and chatted with Zhang Peng.Zhang Peng went to the warehouse outside, and when he came back, he already had a bag in his hand, which contained hairy nuts and pine nuts. He put it on the kang for Zhao Chunming to eat first.

Then Zhang Peng went to the east room and handed the money to Wang Xiufen. Wang Xiufen smiled from ear to ear when she saw so much money, and kept praising "My son is really capable."

Zhang Peng smiled and went back to the West Room without saying anything. Zhang Tiejun looked at Wang Xiufen who was counting the money and showed a happy smile. His son had really grown up.

"Second brother, how many firecrackers are your family planning to buy for the Chinese New Year this year?" Zhao Chunming cracked his hair, then raised his head and asked Zhang Peng.

"Firecrackers? Oops, you didn't mention it and I forgot about it. I didn't even buy it when I went to the market. What did I say was missing?" Zhang Peng also patted his forehead when he heard what Zhao Chunming said. How could he forget such an important thing? Woolen cloth.

"Have you forgotten?" Zhao Chunming became more energetic after hearing Zhang Peng's words. He turned over and sat up. He thought Zhang Peng was waiting to buy it, like him, but he didn't expect that he had forgotten.

Why did Zhao Chunming have to wait? This must be explained by the fact that people in the village are very competitive, but there are not as many items for comparison as the latter. Among them, the sound of firecrackers is the easiest to compare with.

Therefore, the competition between firecrackers on the night of the [-]th and the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year is very serious. Everyone is competing to see whose firecrackers set off more firecrackers, make louder sounds, and last longer.

A hundred or two hundred firecrackers are the starting point. Many families will prepare thousands of firecrackers this time, and some even have tens of thousands of firecrackers for well-off families.

Zhao Chunming originally wanted to go out for a walk to see who bought how much, and then he bought it two days before the New Year, so that he could gain face with the New Year firecrackers.

Of course Zhang Peng knows what Zhao Chunming thinks, but he also likes to set off firecrackers, especially the burst of firecrackers on the night of the [-]th. This is one of the few programs that Zhang Peng likes during the New Year.

"When I come back from my partner's house, let's go buy it. We can't be outdone by others this year," Zhang Peng also said to Zhao Chunming.

"That's definitely not possible. We are not short of money this year. Let everyone in the village hear about it." Zhao Chun was obviously very excited. He was in the limelight. He heard the news during the New Year. Who should not chat and ask? Asked whose house set off the firecrackers.

Speaking of this, Zhao Chunming couldn't sit still. He had to go home and discuss with Li Cuihua that he should come out with more money in batches this year, and then left in a hurry.

Zhang Peng looked at Zhao Chunming and shook his head. He was as excited as a child. Then he went to the east room to discuss going to Li Chunmei's house and buying firecrackers tomorrow.

When they heard that Zhang Peng was going to Li Chunmei's house tomorrow, Zhang Tiejun and Wang Xiufen were very supportive. They also asked Zhang Peng to bring a piece of good meat from home to make dumplings on the New Year's Eve, and the rest would go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some for the New Year. Okay, the supply and marketing cooperative has a complete range of things, and I was told to buy some good ones, so that I can still get them. If I get less, it will be a big loss.

This matter was settled like this, but another thing caused Wang Xiufen and Zhang Tiejun to disagree, which was the matter of buying firecrackers.
