Return to 1983 Hunting Xing'an Mountains

Chapter 11 The incense of raising your head and the incense of lowering your head

The big yellow dog jumped out of the den, lowered his head and snorted twice.

Immediately, three people entered the hospital. They were Xu Chunlin and Wang Erli who had gone to the Tunbu area to deliver meat, and Li Fuqiang, who had been missing for about six or seven minutes.

The three of them entered the room. When Yang Shuhua saw them, she stood up and called uncle. Xu Chunlin nodded with a smile.

At this time, Li Fuqiang came out from behind and put the bag he was carrying on the cabinet.

"Auntie, I don't have much preparation for your first visit. I'll buy you and my uncle some canned food and cakes."

Liu Lizhen was stunned when she heard this, and complained: "What are you doing with that money? Qiangzi, don't you think you are cheating?"

Li Fuqiang smiled and said: "It should be."

Yang Shuhua was quite surprised by his move. She wanted to mention it on the way here, but Xu Ning and Li Fuqiang had been chatting at that time, so she didn't find a chance to say anything.

In the Northeast, you usually have to bring something when you first visit the house. It doesn’t matter whether you are high or low, you must have your heart.

And most of the time it's the gentlemen who ask for something.

Yang Shuhua originally thought that he hadn't thought of this, but she didn't expect that he would directly use his actual actions to shame her.

"Auntie, this is to honor my uncle and me. Why are you visiting other places?"

Xu Ning said: "Mom, just accept my brother and sister-in-law's wishes. Then we won't be able to get along for a long time in the future."

Xu Chunlin nodded: "Just keep what you bought for your children."

Liu Lizhen simply nodded after hearing this, "Okay, I'll accept it. I won't be in the mood to buy anything in the future."

"Eh!"

Li Fuqiang smiled and nodded.

At this time, he glanced at Yang Shuhua, and Yang Shuhua also glanced at him, with a trace of relief in her eyes.

In the past, the couple didn't have much contact with people in the village. She thought that Li Fuqiang was unsophisticated, but now she felt that she had misunderstood.

Next, Liu Lizhen suggested that it was time to cook the meat over a fire, so Han Fengjiao and Yang Shuhua came to the outhouse to help.

Xu Chunlin patted Liu Daming on the neck and told him to go home angrily and called his wife Wu Qiuxia to help with the work.

Liu Daming suddenly realized what he was doing and hurriedly ran home.

Not long after, he arrived with his wife Wu Qiuxia.

Liu Lizhen reintroduced Li Fuqiang and his wife to her. Since the relationship was based on Xu Ning, they had to call Liu Daming and his uncle uncle.

In fact, Liu Daming is only five years older than Li Fu, but he has no tricks at all. Seniority is at stake here.

Since there were four families and sixteen people eating in the evening, Liu Lizhen also used the stove in the east wing where Xu Ning lived.

Normally, the stove in the east wing was used for cooking dogs, and there wasn't much firewood for burning. Xu Ning felt cold so she went to Lao Wang's house to sleep with Wang Hu and Wang Biao.

Xu Long, Wang Hu, and Liu Daming used charcoal fire to stir up the pig hair outside. After processing the pig hair on the pig's trotters and elbows, they threw them into the pot to blanch them.

Today's cuisine is quite rich. The four of Liu Lizhen ordered six dishes, including braised pork knuckles, braised pork trotters, sweet and sour pork ribs, braised big bones with pickled cabbage, deboned meat dipped in garlic paste, and cold cabbage hearts.

It is easy to eat this kind of noodles nowadays.

You can only meet and have a meal if a certain family is doing business.

Because many families can't even eat rice, they can only survive on corn noodles and pickles.

Xu Chunlin is a big accountant at the forest farm, with a monthly salary of 52 yuan, and Xu Long is in the security department of the forest farm, with a monthly salary of 32 yuan.

If the two of them put together a pile, they can earn over 1000 yuan a year!

Therefore, the life of the old Xu family in the countryside was decent and good, and they were at the top.

Otherwise, why would Xu Ning be confused when she invited Yang Shuhua.

This was the reason. If Xu Ning and Li Fuqiang were alone, she would still understand. After all, they had the same chemistry.

But now the two families have officially come into contact, which is intriguing.

She usually cooks large banquets for others and earns 2 to 30 yuan at a time, which is barely enough to support her family.

But Li Fuqiang usually doesn't do anything. He has two children at home, so his life is very tight these days.

Yang Shuhua skimmed off the foam floating on the upper layer of the meat pot, threw in a handful of seasonings, and closed the lid.

Soon, the aroma of meat filled the room.

Xu Ning looked at the people working inside and outside the house. Their faces were all filled with smiles, which also infected his mood.

Outside, Xu Long and Liu Daming were burning pig hair and cutting large pieces of meat into small pieces.

In the house, Xu Chunlin and Wang Erli were chatting about today's siege on the mountain, and their desire to compare continued.

Normally, Xu Laowen would never mention Xu Ning, but today he was too embarrassed.

In front of him, he choked with Wang Erli, saying that Erning was the only one in Qing'an who used a sledgehammer to smash pigs.

Wang Erli was stunned when he heard that Xu Ning had always been a hindrance in the past, but unexpectedly, Xu Ning showed up now, which made him very uncomfortable.

As soon as they talked about this, Han Fengjiao, who was in the outer room, opened the door curtain and walked in. She smiled and asked Wang Erli to go to the west room.

When the two came to the west room, Han Fengjiao raised her hand and punched him.

"Can you please stop using your evil intentions on me? Ah! How many times have I told you."

Wang Erli said with a smile: "Don't I want to make a joke with him? Why do he have to steal my cannon head?"

Han Fengjiao gritted her teeth and said, "Just do it. If something happens to big brother, you will feel happy."

"Hey, nothing can happen. I know it in my heart." "It will be too late the day it happens! I tell you, I heard about it. If Er Ning hadn't happened to meet him on the mountain, my eldest brother would have died!"

Wang Erli put away his smile and nodded: "Yes, I'll pay attention next time."

"You said that you two brothers compete with each other on everything. What's the point?"

"Why isn't that interesting? We've been like this since we were kids..."

Han Fengjiao glared at him coldly and was about to walk out, but Wang Erli grabbed her.

"Hey, I think my sister-in-law has done a good job of burning the east wing. Let Wang Hu, Wang Biao and Er Ning sleep at night, and we can think about a girl. Otherwise, Xu Laowen will always mention his Xu Feng to me, which will make me angry. My stomach is going to explode.”

Han Fengjiao scolded: "You idiot, you are always out of shape!"

Just as the two were chatting in the west room, Xu Chunlin and Xu Ning were the only ones left in the east room.

The father and son sat on each side, occasionally looking at each other, but immediately turning away.

Xu Long happened to enter the room and roll a cigarette, breaking the stiff atmosphere.

He saw his younger brother sitting on the edge of the kang and staring blankly out of the window, so he asked, "Er Ning, why don't I see you smoking today?"

When Xu Chunlin heard this, he turned his face and stared at Xu Ning.

"Stop doing."

"Stop doing?"

Not only Xu Long was stunned, but Xu Chunlin's face froze.

Xu Ning turned to look at Xu Chunlin and said, "Dad, let me tell you something."

"Say."

"I heard that the black wolf from Old Chang's family has laid a den of puppies. I want to go find the two puppies, train them when the time comes, and follow me up the mountain to surround them."

Xu Long was stunned, "Do you really want to besieged?"

Xu Ning nodded.

Xu Chunlin frowned and stared at him, wondering how much truth there was in what he just said.

"Do you know what a hunting dog is? Do you know how to take good care of a dog? How to drag it and how to train it?"

"Then why don't you know?"

Xu Ning crossed her legs and continued: "The head of the dog is divided into incense heads, so the incense can be smelled far away, and the incense heads are divided into head-up and head-down scents."

The beasts will leave scent when they scratch the tree trunks, and the paths they walk will also leave footprints. The hounds use the footprints and scents left by the beasts to track their prey.

The fragrant hunting dogs are very powerful. They can know where the prey is just by looking up and smelling it, because the smell of animals is very strong and can be carried six or seven miles by the wind.

"When choosing a dog, you have to look at its temperament. If you want to hunt, you must choose a dog with a fiery personality, and a docile one will definitely not work. Our Rhubarb is just about right. Secondly, you have to look at the body shape, weight and claws..."

Xu Long was very surprised, and Xu Chunlin also stared at him in surprise.

"Do you really understand?"

"what!"

Xu Chunlin thought for a moment and said with a straight face: "It's okay to buy you two dogs, but you have to promise not to wander around in the future. Look around the whole village and see who looks like you, wandering around all day."

"Yeah, I promise I won't fool around again."

After saying that, Xu Ning walked over with a smile and put her hand in front of Xu Chunlin.

Xu Chunlin glanced at his eyes and said angrily: "It was your turn in the previous life!"

Then he took out 24 yuan from his pocket and threw it on the kang.

"If you dare to play with this money, I will break your legs when you come back!"

Xu Ning pulled the money on the kang and put it into his pocket.

"Hey, don't worry. I've made this promise so many times, why can't you believe me?"

"Do you dare people to believe you? How many times have I believed you before? Do you remember how many tears your mother shed behind your back?"

Xu Ning didn't say anything when he heard this, and just laid his hands in front of Xu Long.

"Gaha?"

"Pay for it, our dad supports it, what are you missing?"

"Oh shit! You are so shameless. Did your sister-in-law give you money before she returned to her parents' home? What else do you want from me?"

Xu Ning smiled and said, "You are hiding private money behind my sister-in-law's back. Shouldn't I ask for it from you?"

Xu Long lost his temper when he heard that. He glanced at his father, but Xu Laowen didn't seem to listen, and he was just minding his own business.

He sighed, took out a dozen yuan from his pocket, and slapped it into Xu Ning's hand.

"When your sister-in-law comes back, don't talk nonsense."

"alright."

Xu Chunlin lit the cigarette and said, "While you have time now, hurry up and settle the puppy."

"Eh."
