Farmers in the courtyard

Chapter 11 Chapter 011: Three cars entering the mountain
That night, Wang Zhendong slept on the big kang in the main room with his parents.

There are three rooms, one in the east and one with a big kang. The brother and sister-in-law and their three children sleep in a row.

In the middle room, his parents and he also share a big bed.

The best thing about the mountains is that there is plenty of firewood.

The one on the west, with a kitchen and a storage room, was stacked with grain and farm tools. It was similar to the layout in Wang Zhendong's memory.

Little has changed over the years.

At night when he turned off the lights and went to bed, his mother talked to him for a long time, seemingly endless words.

A sentence would pop up from time to time. Many times he thought his mother was asleep and was about to sleep when his mother suddenly said something.

He was helpless about this and could understand his mother's mood.

Before going to bed, he gave his mother 80 yuan and asked her to go to Lao Zhangtou tomorrow to buy some Chinese herbal medicine to replenish vitality.

It is probably because of so much money that my mother can't sleep and talks too much.

And he was going to ask his eldest brother to take him to the town outside the mountain to find Li Daming and check the situation.

When I come back, I will find a way to get some eggs and old hens from the space to replenish my father.

It just so happened that he had some ginseng stored in his space when he was in the Northeast, and he would try to get one out when the time comes.

I don't know what time it was, but my mother finally fell asleep. Wang Zhendong breathed a sigh of relief, cleared his mind, and fell asleep.

In the silence of the mountain village and the hot bed, Wang Zhendong slept soundly that night, and his soul was at peace as he had never felt before.

When I woke up early in the morning, I was full of energy. It was already bright outside, and the early rays of the sun reflected the mountains and forests outside the window, which was particularly beautiful.

Mother didn't know when she got up and was busy in the kitchen.

His father, also wearing a military coat, leaned on the kang cabinet beside the kang and looked at him quietly.

"Dad, why don't you sleep more?"

"I am old and sleepy. If you have nothing to do, lie down for a while. The kang will keep you warm."

"No, I want my brother to take me to my sister's house today. I've missed her a little bit over the years."

"Well, then you go after breakfast, take a look, and recognize the door. Your sister has many children, two sons and three daughters.

The oldest daughter is 11 years old, and the youngest son is still breastfeeding.

You bring some of the pastries and candies you brought back yesterday..."

"No, I'll buy it in town. There's no need to bring it all the way to the mountain."

"Okay, you can figure it out, Dongzi, what happened to the gun you carried back yesterday?"

"I brought it back from the army for you and my brother. Hunting will be easier in the future. I will practice shooting with my brother tomorrow."

"That's good. Now I'm not afraid of wild boars."

Wang Chenggui was really happy, his energy and spirit seemed to be lifted instantly, his eyes staring at the rifle standing in the corner.

Not every hunter can get a gun, and this is what he has been thinking about all these years.

Now he finally had one at home, and if it wasn't for the pain all over, he would have wanted to try the gun now.

Men, even when they are old, still like these things.

"Okay, you just stay here. Tomorrow I will take my brother to avenge you. I will kill a few wild boars and keep them for the New Year."

After Wang Zhendong finished speaking, he got up, quickly got dressed, got off the kang, put on his coat and went out.

First, go outside and find a place to relieve yourself. There is toilet paper in the space.

Grass paper was also called horse dung paper in this era.

After relieving yourself, I went to wash up in the mountain spring outside the door. The mountain spring water was split into two halves of bamboo to divert the water.

The spring water flows day and night, and even in the coldest times, the spring water rarely freezes.

This is also a convenient place where there are not many small mountain villages in this era.

For breakfast noodles, Xu Xiulian got up early just to make noodles. The rare fine-grain noodles were delicious to the whole family.

After breakfast, after talking to his parents, Wang Zhendong called Wang Zhenshan, pushed his bicycle and left.

Wang Zhendong asked casually while walking on the mountain road.

"Brother, I sent a letter to send money, and the address was Xiaoquangou. How could it be delivered to my brother-in-law Li Daming?" Wang Zhenshan followed and replied: "Our village is too remote and there are not many households. The postman won't deliver it." , all placed in the town supply and marketing cooperative.

Then someone brought a message to pick it up. My eldest sister’s house is in the town. When you sent the letter, the people from the supply and marketing cooperative saw my brother-in-law and asked him to take it and send it to the mountains..."

Understood, Li Daming probably got interested after seeing the amount on the remittance order, and then tricked his parents into taking away the household registration book.

Now when withdrawing money from the post office, you only need your household registration book, which is not as strict as it will be in the future.

In other words, you can find someone to collect it on your behalf, and you don’t need to go in person.

However, the person collecting on behalf of the family must hold the Wang family’s household registration book and his or her own household registration book.

Just like the postal passbook of later generations, you can withdraw money with your household registration and ID card without being present in person.

However, the ID card and household registration book of the representative must be provided.

This was also the reason why after hearing about the two yuan last night, he guessed that someone had collected it on his behalf.

After understanding, he stopped asking any more questions and started chatting with Wang Zhenshan about wild boars in the mountains.

Finally, I heard Wang Zhenshan say that there were black blind men and tigers in the mountains.

This made Wang Zhendong interested. He originally planned to go to the mountain to have a look tomorrow. Now that he is feeling better, he is even more excited.

Xiaoquangou, a small mountain village with more than a dozen households, is indeed too far from the town.

Going to the town is not the mountain road Wang Zhendong came back yesterday, but another direction.

It took more than two hours for the two brothers to get out of the mountain, reach the main road, and see the market town in the distance.

Finally able to ride a bicycle, Wang Zhendong got on the bike and asked Wang Zhenshan to sit in the back.

But this was the wrong decision.

Wang Zhenshan is too heavy. It is as big as a mountain. Even though it is a main road, it is also a gravel dirt road with many potholes.

Coupled with the snow, Wang Zhendong was very tired.

Might as well push it easily.

And just as the two of them passed through some villages and approached the streets of the town, three jeeps came in front.

Wang Zhendong recognized at a glance that the brand-new jeep in front of him was a GAZ 69 Jeep.

Behind GAZ 69 is a Volga in good condition, and the last one is a truck, covered with a tarpaulin.

The three cars were traveling very fast, and Wang Zhendong knew at a glance that something was going to happen. Sure enough, when the three cars passed by, there was a splash of snow.

Both brothers were shocked. They were suddenly splashed with ice-cold snow, and they shivered uncontrollably.

The two brothers stopped and got off their bicycles, but the three cars had already driven away. Wang Zhendong was furious, but there was nothing he could do.

What a bad luck. Wang Zhendong looked at Wang Zhenshan, who was still wiping the water on his face with his hands.

After wiping it off, he began to pat away the water stains on his body. When he noticed Wang Zhendong looking at him, Wang Zhenshan grinned and said, "Forget it, I didn't mean it."

"..."

What else can Wang Zhendong say?
He set up the car, took out a handkerchief from his pocket, and began to wipe his face and clothes. Fortunately, he was wearing thick clothes, so his clothes were not too wet.

After sorting it out, Wang Zhendong stopped riding. The two brothers pushed their bicycles and walked slowly.

Wang Zhendong mentally memorized the license plates of several cars. Next time he meets them, he will definitely make them look good.

Of course, although he was furious, he also knew that those who could drive these cars were definitely not ordinary people.

However, there are only a few forks in the direction of this road, which basically leads into deep mountains and old forests.

From this, he guessed that it was probably someone who went into the mountains to hunt.

militia?

Unlikely, the militiamen would not have those two vehicles. The most likely possibility would be that the security department of a certain unit would dispatch them.

These days, it is common for leaders to take the security team out into the mountains to hunt and replenish meat for the unit.

Leaders of some units also like such activities.

I just don’t know what company it belongs to, and there is no company name on the car body.
