Return to 1983 Hunting Xing'an Mountains

Chapter 173 What, you’re not happy?

The crescent moon hangs in the south of the night sky, illuminating the silver-covered northeastern land. The stars shine brightly, adding colorful colors to the dark night sky.

The group of people went straight to Wanye Village Headquarters under the moonlight. When they walked into the courtyard and looked up, they saw the dim door light was on, but the house was completely dark.

Because the village party secretary and other people went to the village entrance to help, there was no one on duty at the village headquarters.

Wu Haiquan entered the room first, raised his hand to touch the wall to find the light cord, and when he pulled it down, the room lit up with a warm yellow light.

He pointed to the desk against the wall and asked Xu Ning to go over and make a phone call, while Guan Lei, Hai Long and Haitao sat on the stools and waited silently.

Xu Ning grabbed the phone and pressed the area code and then the number and waited for transfer. After the call was connected, Du Shoucai's voice came. After explaining the situation to him, Du Shoucai muttered a few words, thinking that he was acting like a monster again.

He didn't explain in detail, he just said that something happened in Tuoshan, and asked Du Shoucai to tell Liu Lizhen when he was free, so that they wouldn't worry about it, and he would go back in three to five days, and then he would visit Du Shoucai to chat in detail.

Du Shoucai told him to stay out and not cause trouble, and to contact him in time if anything happened. Even if he couldn't handle it, he could help find someone.

Xu Ning responded twice and stopped chatting with Du Shoucai. After putting down the phone, he waved Wu Haiquan and others away.

As they walked out of the village gate, Wu Haiquan turned around and asked, "Brother, let Hai Long get you three sets of cotton-padded jackets and trousers later, and take them off for you. Then I'll find someone to patch them up for you."

"Okay, I won't be polite to you."

Wu Haiquan took Xu Ning's arm and nodded: "Just don't be polite. I'm not very good at words. Anyway, we have to move on. I can't just deal with this..."

It is true that he is not good at words, but he is very neat in his work and keeps all his kindness in his heart. This style of work of his has indirectly infected Hai Long and Haitao.

When Hai Long, Haitao and Xu Ning first met, they basically learned how to speak and act from Wu Haiquan. Even though Haitao was fickle and had a somewhat off-kilter personality, he was very disciplined and disciplined in his work.

As for Guan Lei...his parents passed away early, and he has a somewhat withdrawn personality and a bad temper. If he had a good temper, the old Guan family would have no backbone, so he must have a strong temper!

Moreover, he is also very particular about his work and attaches great importance to friendship. Although he is the youngest among the group, he is the most courageous and courageous!

In his previous life, Xu Ning led him to run into the mountains to fight a siege. With a big ax, he dared to face the blind man and chopped him on the neck. That battle left a very deep impression on Xu Ning. He almost thought that Guan Lei had been slapped by the blind man. It was shot to death.

"Brother, I have to go to the wake tonight. When the funeral is over tomorrow, I will take you to the street. How about it?"

"Going to the street? No, the three of us will have to go back to the mountains after staying warm in the house for two days..."

Wu Haiquan grabbed his arm and said, "Listen to me! When the time comes, all of us will go. Let's take a bath first. After that, we'll go to the hotel to have a meal and come back in the evening."

"Brother, should I go to the street to buy groceries or something tomorrow?" Wu Hailong asked.

Wu Haiquan shook his head: "No, Xiaolin has to deliver the groceries tomorrow morning after he has finished buying them... Brother, I have wronged you for the past two days, but don't pick on me."

Xu Ning waved his hand and said: "What's the point of this? We don't have to say that much. You should be busy as you should. It will be more comfortable for the three of us to sit on the hot bed."

"Okay, let Leizi chat with you tomorrow afternoon, Leizi?"

Guan Lei nodded from behind, "I know."

Wu Haiquan saw that there was no smile on Guan Lei's face and said, "Why does your face look wrong? Are you angry with your brother-in-law?"

Hearing this, Wu Hailong pulled Guan Lei and frowned: "You have such a droopy face? I tell you, don't play with me. Go play with your sister if you can. You said that won't work at all! Do you know?" "

Guan Lei shrank his neck, glanced at his brother-in-law, and replied calmly: "That's just me."

"Look at you, you look like a bitch..."

Wu Haiquan pulled Hai Long away, put his arm around Guan Lei's shoulders, and said, "I'll study it for you later. Don't make the decision on your own first. Don't you know there are guests at home?"

Guan Lei raised his head: "Brother, I really don't have a slumped face. I just think of my parents."

Wu Hailong was stunned for a moment, glanced at his expression but said nothing.

"Ah, then you..." Wu Haiquan opened his mouth.

Guan Lei shook his head: "I don't have anything to do. Brother, you just go about your business. I'll take Brother Xu... Ning home."

Xu Ning said with a smile: "Okay, let Shitou take me back, and you can go and do your business."

Wu Haiquan nodded, "You can entertain me well."

"know."

Immediately, everyone passed by the door of Guan Lei's house. The three Wu brothers walked towards the entrance of the village, while Xu Ning and Guan Lei turned into the courtyard.

The door to the outhouse is open, and Li Fuqiang and Wang Hu can be vaguely seen fanning their cotton-padded jackets to disperse the smell of the outhouse.

"Brother, you two stay outside for a while!"

Guan Lei replied dully: "Nothing's wrong."

But he just took two steps into the outhouse and stepped back. Looking sideways at Xu Ning standing at the door, he said a little embarrassedly: "The smell is quite strong."

Li Fuqiang grinned and said, "Is that necessary? Do you know what a stinky old man is? Haha..."

"Second brother, I've finished preparing the water for you. Wash yourself quickly, otherwise the water will get cold."

"Okay, you two go inside first and leave your socks and shoes outside."

"Got it!"

Li Fuqiang was carrying two pairs of shoes, with corn leaves under his feet. After throwing the cotton shoes outside, he smiled at Xu Ning and said, "Hurry up and enter the house. What are you thinking about."

"I'm afraid that you two will give me a hard time."

"Haha..." Li Fuqiang laughed twice.

Guan Lei was also infected by the laughter and grinned slightly. "Tou Shi, please go inside and get some hot water."

Guan Lei was stunned for a moment, thinking: Why do you pronounce my nickname so smoothly?

"Huh? Ah, okay."

Xu Ning walked into the outhouse first, followed by Guan Lei, who held his breath and entered the house. Then he took the thermos and poured two drops of water into the teapot. He seemed to remember something, put the thermos down again, and took out half a bag from the drawer of the cabinet. Black tea, grabbed a handful into the teapot...

Li Fuqiang was sitting on the edge of the kang smoking a cigarette. When Guan Lei came over with a teapot, he handed over a cigarette.

"You smoke, I'll smoke this." Guan Lei grabbed the old cigarette box on the kang.

Li Fuqiang held a cigarette in his mouth, narrowed his eyes and said, "Shalingdi! I'm leaving it at home, and you're still being polite."

Wang Hu said with a smile: "Brother Lei, just smoke this. The three of us will let you smoke by yourself, and leave one for Haiquan to welcome the new year."

Guan Lei nodded and took the hand. Just when he was about to express his thanks, he heard Xu Ning shouting from the outer room: "Shitou, get me a footcloth."

"what."

Guan Lei got up and ran to the outhouse. As soon as he went out and picked up the foot wipe behind the door, he choked and said, "I'll find you another pair of shoes."

Xu Ning smiled and nodded. Guan Lei handed him the footcloth, went to the West Room to get a pair of new cotton shoes, and placed them in front of him.

"You come inside."

Guan Lei opened his mouth, looked at Xu Ning and said, "You can just call me Leizi from now on, but don't call me Shitou."

"Why don't you call me Shitou? You don't like it."

"A little unhappy..." Guan Lei nodded honestly.

"Haha, if you don't like it, don't be happy. As long as I'm happy. Hey, I heard from your brother-in-law that you want to work as a tenant in a forestry farm?"

Guan Lei rubbed his chin and said, "Ah, no?"

"Okay, if you go to Qing'an, mention me."

Guan Lei frowned, "How can I help you?"

"If you mention me, you'll get beaten more often."

Guan Lei was stunned for a moment, then saw Xu Ning wearing new cotton shoes, bending down to pick up the enamel basin and pouring water into the swill bucket.

Then he turned around, glanced at Guan Lei, and said with a smile, "I'm kidding you."

"I know. I just remembered that I heard someone mention you. It was the two tenants who came back from the forest farm. They said that there was a Xu Erning in Qing'an who was known as Little Xu Pao..."

Xu Ning used a ladle to collect some water, wiped the enamel basin, and said, "It should be me who is talking about it."

"Then you've been quite aggressive with Qing'an?"

"Why are you so rampant..."

Li Fuqiang and Wang Hu, who were sitting in the room, laughed twice after listening to their words.

"Then what are you talking about! Oh my god, look at Huzi, my brother's reputation as a little Xu Pao has spread to all industries."

"It's not good, it only took so long, it was transmitted too fast."

Xu Ning put down the enamel basin, walked into the room, and said with a smile: "These are all false names, not worth mentioning! Haha."

Guan Lei sat on the edge of the kang and asked: "They said you shelled a big pig that weighed more than 600 kilograms? Is it true?"

Wang Hu said: "Really, can this game be fake? The big pig is standing at the door of the forest farm's cafeteria. You can take a look at it when you get to the forest farm."

Guan Lei turned to look at Xu Ning, "Then you are indeed quite domineering."

"Generally rampant."

Immediately, the four of them drank water and chatted in the room, mainly talking about Xu Ning's hunting in the mountains during this period. Guan Lei was stunned when he heard it, and he really had longing in his heart.

In fact, Xu Ning knew why Guan Lei wanted to work as a hedge fund manager in a forest farm. First, he wanted to exercise and improve his physical fitness. Second, he wanted to make more money. Making money had always been Guan Lei's goal, so he gave up resolutely in his previous life. He had a good job as a transport driver for a coal mine and joined the Shenzhen Gang with Xu Ning.

He earns money to repair his family's house, because his house is an adobe house with a straw roof. It doesn't seem to have any serious problems, but the house must be 20 to 30 years old, and it is estimated that it will collapse in a few more years.

Guan Lei also wanted to earn money to marry himself a wife. He didn't want to rely on the old Wu family all the time. After all, it was his sister's in-laws' family. Once he helps a lot, why should his sister Guan Mei stay at Lao Wu's house?

In addition, he also has a little sister. When his sister got married, there was nothing to support her at home. When his little sister gets married, shouldn't she be given some dowry?

There are too many things in the family that need money, so he is a little stressed.

And Xu Ning wanted to drag him to Qing'an, but they had only known each other for less than three hours, so how could they say it out loud? You can only say it in a joking way, otherwise Guan Lei will definitely arouse suspicion.

Li Fuqiang handed him a cigarette and said: "It's hard to be a tenant in the forest farm. You have to think about it."

Guan Lei struck a match and lit it for the two of them, blew out the smoke and said, "I've been thinking about it for a long time. I wanted to go to the forest farm when it started working, but my brother-in-law had to drag me along."

Wang Hu said: "Brother Lei, which Lengchang do you want to go to?"

"17 Lengchang, there are two houses in our village that are both in 17 Lengchang..."

Li Fuqiang turned to look at Xu Ning and said, "Brother, is the leader of 17 Lengchang Yang Jun?"

"Yes." Xu Ning nodded.

"Second brother, if Brother Lei goes to Lengchang, can you say hello to Yang Jun?"

On the way to Wanye, Li Fuqiang and Wang Hu heard Wu Hailong talk about Guan Lei's family situation. First, they felt that it was not easy for Guan Lei, and second, they had to sleep at Guan Lei's house for two nights, so they helped Guan Lei go to Lengchang to head Yang Jun. There's nothing wrong with saying hello.
