Catch the Mountain 1985

Chapter 29 Blind Date
Zhang Peng also knew that what Hu Yaohai said made sense, that it was the same, and that the price was affordable, but he still wanted to try his best to keep it down.

"Let's see, man, your gun is probably all we need for the time being. Isn't your friend in a hurry for money? If you give me a cheaper price, we will only have five hundred and fifty in our pockets. We will have trouble eating in a while," Zhang Peng said

Hu Yaohai lowered his head and thought for a moment, then raised his head and said, "Okay, man, for this price, even if you make a friend, there are still more than 20 bullets in this sack, and I'll give it to you too."

"Man, be honest."

Zhang Peng complimented in surprise, and then turned his back to Zhao Chunming. Zhao Chunming took out five hundred, and Zhang Peng added another fifty before turning around and handing it to Hu Yaohai.

Hu Yaohai lowered his head and counted carefully three times, then put the money into his arms, patted it, and happily handed over to the two of them: "Okay, men, I will withdraw first. If anything happens later, Find me here, I can still speak in this world."

After speaking, Zhang Peng and the others left in a hurry without waiting for a reply.

Zhang Peng and Zhao Chunming also bowed their hands as a farewell as he spoke, and then Zhao Chunming excitedly put the gun back into the sack, followed Zhang Peng and hurriedly left with the gun in his arms.

On the way back, Zhao Chunming was very happy. He finally had a gun and could help Zhang Peng. He could hunt with him instead of just watching from the side. This made Zhao Chunming very excited.

It was already two or three o'clock in the afternoon when the two of them got home. As soon as they arrived at the entrance of the hospital, Zhao Chunming happily greeted Zhang Peng and then ran home.

Zhang Peng looked at his excited look, smiled and shook his head, and then went into the yard. Dahuang and Heizi at home had already seen their little master coming back, wagging their tails excitedly, standing upright, and couldn't wait to get there. Pounced on Zhang Peng.Zhang Peng teased them in the yard for a while, and then returned to the house.

When they entered the house, they saw Wang Xiufen picking up the soles of her shoes, while her two younger sisters were playing on the kang. When their brother came back, Zhang Xiaoxia and Zhang Xiaolan immediately jumped off the kang and threw themselves into Zhang Peng's arms.Zhang Peng caught the two sisters with a smile, then held them and sat on the kang.

Wang Xiufen also stopped what she was doing, smiled and asked how it went. Zhang Peng told the story exactly, then took out the money from selling the bear bile and gave it to Wang Xiufen, waiting for Wang Xiufen and Li Cuihua to share it equally. Wang Xiufen listened. I was also very happy in the end. Firstly, I sold the bear bile for more than 200 yuan. Secondly, from this incident, I can see that the two brothers get along well. No one is always paying, and the other wants to sit back and enjoy the gains. This is also The two families have always taught that distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, not to mention that the relationship between these generations is very good.

Then Wang Xiufen said another thing that was not very surprising to Zhang Peng, and she was going to go on a blind date.

"Son, your third aunt has already decided on a blind date with the girl. I'll go to their house the day after tomorrow. I'll pack up quickly tomorrow. I really want to think about what you will bring there." After saying this, Wang Xiufen started counting on her fingers.
Zhang Peng smiled and shook his head. Zhang Xiaoxia pulled Zhang Peng and asked softly: "Second brother, who are you going on a blind date with?"

"From the neighboring village, if possible, I will be your sister-in-law from now on." Zhang Peng couldn't help laughing when he heard this.

"Second brother, what is sister-in-law?" Zhang Xiaolan asked innocently
"Sister-in-law is the sister who will buy you delicious food in the future." Zhang Peng scratched Zhang Xiaolan's nose and said with a smile.
"Oh, then hurry up and bring your sister-in-law back tomorrow," Zhang Xiaolan said naively
Hearing this, Wang Xiufen and Zhang Peng both laughed and said: Don't worry, I promise to bring it back.When Zhang Tiejun came back in the evening, Wang Xiufen told him what happened today. Zhang Tiejun also felt that Zhang Peng did the right thing. Zhao Chunming was also a sensible child. Hearing that Zhang Peng was going on a blind date, he immediately discussed what to prepare for the trip. Zhang Peng If you don't think you want to stir up trouble, just buy some canned fruit and the like and go there.

Wang Xiufen didn't think so. She felt that we should bring something that could be used at home in the past. It seemed that we had thought more about it and were a living family. In the end, Zhang Tiejun made the decision, a piece of fat pork, a piece of bear meat, and one serving. Stove fruits and sugar balls, plus two bottles of canned fruit.

This is already a very high standard of treatment. Canned food in this era was definitely a luxury product. At that time, canned food was called sugar-watered oranges or sugar-watered hawthorns. Especially in the north, it was not easy to eat some fruits, and there were not many varieties. , when you are greedy, you can only eat seasonal wild fruits in the mountains.

In addition, these two pieces of meat should not be too extravagant to appear exaggerated as a gift, nor too shabby to appear that the family is not well-off, so in general this is enough.

In his previous life, Zhang Peng remembered that he only brought a piece of meat, some stove fruits, and candies. His family was not wealthy at that time, so he brought very little with him.

Zhang Peng also became busy these two days. He told Wang Xiufen not to forget to give the money to Zhao Chunming's family, and then started to clean up himself. First, he had a haircut, then took a bath, shaved, and bought cans and stoved fruit candy balls. , bought some daily necessities for living in the mountains, and finally took Zhao Chunming to practice shooting.

On the day of the blind date, Wang Xiufen called Zhang Peng up early in the morning, helped Zhang Peng pack his things, and then told Zhang Peng how to speak appropriately when he went to the other party's home. If he could do it, the woman would stay for lunch. There should be something to do while eating, etc.

Zhang Peng yawned and responded. He shouldn't be too familiar with Li Chunmei's house, and he wasn't nervous when a new uncle came to visit. In his previous life, he had been with the same family for so many years. Now, Zhang Peng felt like he was going home to accompany his wife. Go back to your parents’ home.

He didn't feel any pressure. He also knew that if nothing else happened, he would have lunch at home. Li Chunmei's mother's name is Lan Guihua and her brother's name is Li Chaoyang. The family is actually not very wealthy. To put it harshly, it can be said to be poor. They all relied on her mother to survive, but Lan Guihua was also strong and supported her siblings by doing odd handicrafts.

However, it was too difficult to send two children to school, so Li Chunmei dropped out of school after finishing junior high school, and came back to help the family and send her younger brother to school. Now Li Chaoyang has also entered high school, and his academic performance is average. Although he works very hard, he can't. In the end, he failed to get into college, and then went to work in the city.

When Zhang Peng was reborn, he had a good relationship with Li Chaoyang, but at that time Li Chaoyang was living an ordinary life and had no spare time to help his brother-in-law.

After eight o'clock, Ma Lan arrived at home and saw that Zhang Peng had packed up. He looked at the greeting gift that he had prepared and felt that he attached great importance to it and was very happy. Zhang Peng looked like an ordinary person, but he became very energetic after packing up. , coupled with the advantages of this age, Jingqi Shen gives people a different feeling.

Then Zhang Peng carried his things and got on the carriage that he and Ma Lan had arranged yesterday to go to Yongsheng Village for errands today. They set off towards the neighboring village. They chatted in the carriage for more than an hour and finally arrived. Destination Yongsheng Village.
