Catch the Mountain 1985

Chapter 217 Talking Hearts
"But, even if I don't go to school, it won't affect me going up the mountain to make money." After hearing Zhang Peng's words, Li Chaoyang also retorted.

"Well, it is undeniable that although going to school may not necessarily lead to success, and it is not necessarily wrong to make money, but this depends on the actual situation," Zhang Peng said earnestly.

"What's going on?" Li Chaoyang asked in confusion.

"Then take me as an example. How do you think I am now?" Zhang Peng asked Li Chaoyang.

"Brother Peng, you are absolutely amazing. If you can make so much money now, won't you still be able to make a lot of money in the future? My sister is with you, and we are all relieved." Li Chaoyang also said truthfully, next to him When Lan Guihua heard Li Chaoyang's words, she nodded slightly. This was already the consensus of the family.

Zhang Peng was slightly startled when he heard Li Chaoyang's words. He didn't expect that he was so outstanding in his eyes. No wonder he wanted to follow him up the mountain. Then he turned to look at Li Chunmei and raised his eyebrows. What do you mean? This is the understanding of your family. You can be content with my conditions.

When Li Chunmei saw the way Zhang Peng looked at him and raised his eyebrows, she knew what he was thinking. She knew he was so blind that she gave him a white eye.

When Zhang Peng saw Li Chunmei's reply, he turned his head in embarrassment, coughed twice, and then looked sternly at Li Chaoyang, who was looking at him seriously.

"Brother, thank you for your opinion in advance, but I want to tell you that going up the mountain is not as simple as you think. What you see is only the final result, but do you understand the whole process? The simplest thing to say is , We Northeasterners are all used to the cold in winter, have you ever tried the feeling of not sleeping all night, waiting for prey in a heavy snow shell?" Zhang Peng said slowly to Li Chaoyang.

"Brother Peng, don't worry, I'm not afraid of hardship. No matter what, it's better than watching the family's difficulties," Li Chaoyang also said with his head lowered.

Hearing Li Chaoyang's words, Zhang Peng suddenly choked. If he had not been reborn and was still at his age, he would have made the same choice in his environment.

When Lan Guihua heard Li Chaoyang's words, she was stunned, and then her eyes became red. Li Chunmei couldn't sit still when she saw this situation. She just wanted to get up and scold Li Chaoyang, but after thinking about it, she sat down again. What did she have to do? As I said, this is indeed the situation at home.

It is not easy for Lan Guihua to support the family alone. She is thankful to God for being able to support them. She has not dared to expect the quality of life since she was a child.

As for the previous life, it can only be said that I was starving, and the family basically had no money. Although other families in the village are not rich now, they are still getting along. They eat stew every now and then and sink their teeth into it without any problem. .

This means that after Zhang Peng came over, the family's life was pretty good. At least food was taken care of. Coupled with the handicrafts of Lan Guihua and Li Chunmei, this life was still passable.

For a moment, the atmosphere at home seemed very depressing. Seeing this situation, Zhang Peng calmed down, looked at Li Chaoyang, who had his head lowered, and then reached out and patted his shoulder.

"Brother, I understand what you said. The conditions at my brother's home are not good. Before I came out to go up the mountain, there was very little oil and water in the house. It was all dependent on my father to support our family of six. You can think of it Thinking about what kind of situation we are in, and I am still a boy, this is definitely not just talk about a half-grown boy eating me to death, so I said, I understand what you said, and I also know how you feel, but you Do you know when I went up the mountain?" Zhang Peng said to Li Chaoyang.

"Brother Peng, didn't you go up the mountain before?" Li Chaoyang asked. "I only plan to go up the mountain for half a year, and the rest of the time I go up the mountain sporadically to catch small animals and so on," Zhang Peng also said.

"Ah? How can you make so much money in such a short time?" Li Chaoyang asked in confusion.

"How can things be so easy? I learned from Uncle Zhao, the gunner in our village. He is the same generation as my grandfather. My grandfather was also a gunner, so he took care of me and taught me a lot. This is also the case this year. I just officially went up the mountain. You can think about the difficulty of it. I am not afraid of making you laugh. The first time I went up the mountain, I faced a wild boar. In my opinion, the wild boar could be pinched with a handle. , I screamed with excitement and rushed up, do you know what the result was?" Zhang Peng told the story of when he just went up the mountain, and then asked Li Chaoyang.

"How's it going?" Li Chaoyang was also interested. He liked to hear Zhang Peng talk about going up the mountain.

"Haha, let me tell you this, if it hadn't been for my rhubarb and the sunspot that was later drugged to death by others, I wouldn't have been able to go down the mountain, and you wouldn't have known me," Zhang Peng said to Li Chaoyang with a smile. .

Hearing Zhang Peng's words, Li Chaoyang was stunned, and Li Chunmei and Lan Guihua were also stunned. It was the first time they heard Zhang Peng talk about this matter, and they all felt a little incredible. Is a wild boar so dangerous?
Seeing everyone looking at him with the same eyes, Zhang Peng also smiled. This reaction was normal. They all saw that they could get things by going up and down the mountain, but who could know the dangers involved.

"Brother Peng, please tell me carefully why this happened?" Li Chaoyang also came to his senses, his blood slowly faded away, and his rationality returned to some extent.

"Actually, there's nothing to say. It's all in the past. Let me tell you this. Even an old mountaineer who has been going up the mountain all his life does not dare to say that he can come and go freely on the mountain. After he comes down from the mountain, he can only say that he can rely on his own strength. This is an experience that you have gained again. Just think about the things involved and why you take dogs up the mountain. In fact, it is also very cruel to hunting dogs, but to be honest, this is your first experience. "Two lives, if you encounter an emergency, a hunting dog can help you escape," Zhang Peng said calmly.

But it sounded like an alarm bell in Li Chaoyang's ears. Is this the mountaineer?Is this their life?Will he be like this in the rest of his life?Li Chaoyang lowered his head and fell into deep thought.

"So, little brother, you still have to study. It doesn't matter whether you study well or not. If you study well, our family will support you even if you don't study well. Even if you don't study well, we will have some success in the future. Scholars, we won’t suffer any loss no matter where we go. As for going up the mountain, I understand your thoughts. Wait until you are older and finish your studies. If you really want to go up the mountain, then follow me. In fact, even if you don’t go up the mountain, you still have There are many things that can be done," Zhang Peng continued.

"Is there anything else I can do?" Li Chaoyang also became interested after hearing Zhang Peng's words.

"Okay, after the Chinese New Year, I promised to catch a pair of deer for your family to raise. This is a living. In the spring, I cut the antlers and sell them. When it becomes a big business, why go up the mountain to do it? You will suffer the consequences." Zhang Peng also smiled and said Li Chaoyang painted a big cake.

"Yeah, that's right," Li Chaoyang thought for a while and said.

"That's right. As for the family, you don't have to worry about it. I'm still here. Besides, when you raise deer, you won't have to pay for school, and you can still have some surplus. This way, the expenses at home will be enough. What else do you have? It's something to worry about, right?" Zhang Peng continued.
