Return to 1983 Hunting Xing'an Mountains

Chapter 191: It’s unnecessary to explain why my father is responsible

Last night, Xu Ning and Wu Hailong chatted until midnight, so they didn't wake up until after seven o'clock in the morning. When they put on their cotton jackets and trousers and came to the outhouse, warm water was already filled in the enamel basin. Xu Ning asked Wu Haiquan to The three of them washed first, and he went to the latrine first.

After Wu Haiquan and the others washed their faces, they followed Xu Chunlin to Lao Wang's house. Only Wang Shujuan was left in the house, folding the bedding in the west room and sweeping the kang with a broom. This was Wang Shujuan's habit. Basically, she had to clean up the three houses every day. Again.

After Xu Ning came back, the water in the enamel basin had been changed. He heard the movement in the west room, opened the door curtain and looked in, and saw Wang Shujuan squatting in front of the kennel, holding a small broom and a pinch in her hand. Son, cleaning the stolen goods in the doghouse.

These stolen items are rice grains and small bones thrown into the kennel by the puppies after eating, not daddy eggs. These five puppies usually go to the corner to relieve themselves when they are let out.

However, this kind of play for dogs should be somewhat smelly, which is better for small dogs. Especially for big dogs, the smell will make them dry easily.

When Wang Shujuan heard the noise, she turned her head and glanced, urging: "Hurry up and wash up. My sister-in-law and the others have already come here. Don't you want to eat the potato shredded burrito from the pancakes baked in the morning?"

Xu Ning nodded and said, "Sister-in-law, you don't have to clean the kennel all day long. When it's warm, let them outside."

"Hey, if you don't sweep it, it will still smell. Just wash it off quickly."

Xu Ning smiled and put down the door curtain. His sister-in-law worked hard and had nothing to say to him. It had always been like this. Even when he and Xu Long had a quarrel in the previous life, Wang Shujuan kept persuading her. Since the family's condition declined, she did not listen to her. Have a complaint.

When Xu Ning returned to the village to recuperate, she would give her clothes, food and drink from time to time. Shekong would come to help him clean up the house when his former son came. However, Xu Ning was too naughty at the time and even got angry with Wang Shujuan, which made her feel quite chilled. .

After Xu Ning washed his face, he wiped his face with a handkerchief in both hands. Wang Shujuan just walked out of the west room, put the small broom and spoon under the kitchen sink, and then used Xu Ning's face wash water to rub the handle.

"Your cotton-padded jacket and trousers should be dismantled and replaced with new ones. Besides, there are so many clothes at home. You can just change them when you go hiking. How can you wear the same clothes?"

Xu Ning said: "I don't think about how I can wash it when the time comes. If I change my clothes, how can I wash it?"

"Just change your clothes. I'll wash them for you then. I'll take out all those dirty clothes for you in a few days. As the Chinese New Year is approaching, it's time to wash the quilt covers, mattresses, curtains, etc."

Xu Ning nodded: "Hey."

Immediately, the two walked towards the next door, climbed over the wall and saw Xu Chunlin and others gathered in the east room. The east room of Lao Wang's house was not big, because there was a row of standing cabinets on the north wall and three floor cabinets on the east wall, which took up a lot of space. .

Therefore, there were not many people standing in the room, so Xu Feng and other children could only be arranged to sit on the kang in the west room, so that they could eat quickly and go to school.

But Xu Chunlin, Wang Erli, and Xu Long still didn't go to work, and they weren't in a hurry to eat. They were talking to Wu Haiquan and others sitting on the edge of the Kang in the east room.

As soon as he entered the outhouse, Xu Ning saw Yang Shuhua bending down in front of the pot and using a shovel to pull the cakes in the pot. The cakes were baked with bear oil and had a natural and fragrant taste. It would be better if there were chopped green onions, but now Xu Ning Even ginger and garlic are scarce among the four families of Wang, Li and Liu.

Next to Yang Shuhua was Guan Hua. She was holding a plate and standing on the corner of the pot table next to the stove pit, chatting quietly with Yang Shuhua. When she saw Xu Ning and Wang Shujuan walking in, she raised her head and said hello.

Nowadays, Guan Hua doesn't look like the old Wu family. She has become more generous to the naked eye. Perhaps it is because she feels a little uncomfortable in the old Wu family. This has nothing to do with how the old Wu family treats her, but she is more sensitive. She observes things very carefully, so the better she is, the more guilty she feels.

Wang Shujuan went straight to the kitchenette and wanted to take out the bowls and chopsticks. When Liu Lizhen saw her, she hurriedly said: "Juan, the bowls and chopsticks have been taken into the room. You can put some pickles or something in the pickle jar under the kitchenette."

"Eh."

Han Fengjiao entered the house with radish soup, and when she came out, she went to the kitchen to look for a soybean paste jar.

Xu Ning entered the east room. There were two tables in the east room. Xu Chunlin had just pinched off his cigarette butts and was chatting with Wu Haiquan about the past.

Not long after, two plates of shredded potatoes, radish soup and pickles were placed on the table.

Xu Ning stood at the door and smelled a smell of vinegar. It must be that Yang Shuhua was frying vinegar cabbage.

Sure enough, just three or two minutes later, Guan Hua came in with two plates of vinegar cabbage and placed them on the table.

"Okay, Haiquan Hailonglei, the three of you sit down quickly!" Han Fengjiao wiped her hands with a rag and walked into the room and said cheerfully.

"Eh!"

Wang Erli took Wu Haiquan and the three of them to sit down and said with a smile: "Hai Quan, we won't drink in the morning, and we'll finish it at noon."

"Okay! Second uncle." Wu Haiquan smelled the smell of the cake and asked, "This cake is very fragrant, and it looks quite soft."

"Yeah, it's made with bear fat. It's delicious! Haiquan, hurry up, don't be restrained and use your chopsticks."

Wang Erli said with a smile: "Only your sister-in-law can bake this cake. Even your aunt and uncle can't bake it so soft. Look at Er Ning, this guy knows how to eat it. You can also roll some shredded potatoes and pickles or something like that." .”

Wu Haiquan nodded: "Okay, my sister-in-law is very good at rape. She can do anything. Oh my god, the belly she gave me yesterday was so round!"

Han Fengjiao pushed Yang Shujuan onto the kang and said, "You guys eat more. We'll have another meal at noon and let your sister-in-law prepare some rabbit meat. Then you can have some wine."

Xu Chunlin nodded: "Yes! The rabbit meat fried by Shuhua is so fragrant. You must try it at noon. Zhen Na, do we still have dancing cats at home? We didn't ask Erning to go to the mountain on time."

Liu Lizhen said: "How can I make a trip now? I still have several at home, enough to eat!"

People in the room kept chatting away without stopping, even when Xu Feng, Wang Biao and others put on their cotton-padded jackets and carried their bags to go to school.

However, Han Fengjiao has already prepared lunch boxes for them. If these college students are hungry, then there is something to be said for them. No matter how they study, they must first get in shape, otherwise they will not be able to do their homework.

Xu Ning swallowed the burrito, took two bites of vinegared cabbage, wiped his mouth twice, and raised his head to look at Wu Haiquan.

"Brother Quan, I'll take your car out for a while."

Wu Haiquan nodded: "Let's go, you are busy with your business, will you be back at noon?"

"Then you have to come back."

Li Fuqiang asked from the side: "Brother, can I go with you?"

Xu Ning shook his head: "No, just ask my elder brother to follow."

Xu Chunlin and others were silent when they heard this. Although they didn't know what Xu Ning was going to do, he had never done anything wrong during this time, so they didn't inquire further.

When Xu Long heard that he was asked to follow him, he frowned but said nothing.

But he thought that Xu Ning probably didn't fart well. He just borrowed fifty from him last night. If he didn't, he would have to spend it all today!

After the meal in the morning, Liu Lizhen and others picked up the bowls and chopsticks, and Xu Ning took Xu Long outside.

Xu Long walked to the main courtyard reluctantly, and then asked: "Do you want Gaha?"

Xu Ning threw the car keys to him, "You drive."

"No, I can drive it, but why don't you tell me what to do?"

Xu Ning opened the car door, held the handle with both hands, stepped on the pedals and rushed into the car. He turned around and said, "You go to the forest farm to fill up the tank of gas. I have to go to Dongshan."

Wu Haiquan's Dongfeng Motor did not have much fuel left, and it would definitely not be able to run back to Wanye, so Xu Ning had to refill the tank. Although the forest farm does not have a gas station, it does have an oil depot that is specially supplied to the transportation fleet.

Xu Long suddenly realized, "Ah, you should have told me earlier, this will make me feel nervous!"

When he sat in the driver's seat, inserted the key into the hole, started the car, and asked: "Are you going to Dongshan Gaha?" "Dongshan Ma Liu told me about the big leather nest. Since it is really wearing a big leather jacket, Well, why don’t you get something to take a look at? Let’s drive and go to the store to buy something first.”

Xu Long nodded: "Well, you really have to go and take a look, why don't you give Ma Liu a share?"

"Gotta give it."

The news was delivered by Ma Liu, so according to the rules, he had to give Ma Liu a share. When he came back, he finished talking to Li Fuqiang and Wang Hu about it. They said nothing, and they were still thinking of buying something for Ma Liu. But he was rejected by Xu Ning. If he wanted to buy something, he would buy it for Ma Liu. After all, he was the boss.

Whether Ma Liu wants this or not is another matter, but Xu Ning has to put it forward, not just to be pretentious, but to say this!

And Xu Long didn't ask if he wanted to buy anything for Guo Xingmin when he went to the forest farm, because he definitely couldn't carry things with him when he went to the forest farm, otherwise he would easily attract gossip. If he went to Guo Xingmin's house, he could carry as many things as he wanted. This was the bond between uncle and nephew. .

He put his right hand into gear, stepped on the accelerator and released the clutch, and drove the car to the entrance of the small store.

Xu Long didn't get out of the car and go into the house, fearing that Xu Ning would ask him to pay for something.

When Xu Ning entered the store, he saw Liu Guangmin adding firewood to the stove. There was no one else in the house, so it was impossible for those old ladies to come so early.

"Hey, Er Ning is back?"

"Ah, give me twenty jins of wine, ten jins of cakes, and two sticks of economical cigarettes."

Liu Guangmin nodded: "Okay. Hey, where are the two wine bottles you took two times ago? You can bring them back when you have time, I don't have many empty bottles here."

Xu Ning smiled and said, "Okay, I'll bring it back to you later. Hey, Brother Liu, didn't you buy some noodles or something?"

"Oh my god, I can't afford those noodles. The price for this is more than 20 cents per kilogram, and it also requires national food stamps... Where can I get those old national food stamps?"

Liu Guangmin said while picking up the cake.

"Too……"

Xu Ning chatted casually with him and waited for Liu Guangmin to put the wine, rice cakes and two economic cigarettes on the counter.

He grabbed the things and said with a smile: "Put it on my dad's account."

"Okay, come when you have time."

Just as Xu Ning was about to leave, he thought of something and asked, "Brother Liu, have you heard anything recently? What about Li San saying that my son died because of them?"

"Hey, you know? Well, Li San was talking to Tuntou Lao Bai at that time. After that, Lao Bai came here and started talking...I really don't know what happened specifically."

Xu Ning said with a smile: "Brother Liu, we wanted to go to Wanye through Gongyao Lingzi. We only took three days of dry food with us. They were always following us. What are they trying to do? I wonder if they will starve to death. If they died in the ravine, they were told to go back, but they refused to leave, and since they had no choice, I shot them on the ground to scare them away."

Liu Guangmin nodded in astonishment upon hearing this, "Ah, that's what forgiveness is."

"Yeah, okay, I'm leaving, Brother Liu."

"Eh!"

In fact, Liu Guangmin was quite surprised. With Xu Ning's character, it stands to reason that after knowing this, he would have to go to Li San to talk to him. However, he did not go to Li San's house immediately. Instead, he explained to him. This is What to do?

After Xu Ning left, Liu Guangmin squatted in front of the stove and thought for a while before he understood.

Xu Ning probably wanted to talk to those old ladies, clarify right and wrong first, and distinguish who is right and who is wrong...

"Why is it so safe now? It's only been more than two months." Liu Guangmin muttered.

Xu Ning's original intention was to tell Li San through the old ladies gathered in the small shop that he, Xu Erning, was back and knew that Li San had slandered him. However, Xu Erning did not want to be like Li San. Who made him older? If you can rely on your old age and act like you are old, you just have to endure it this time, but you won't be able to endure it next time.

However, with Xu Ning's temperament, is it possible to endure it? Absolutely impossible!

Besides, this matter was just a rumor, and Xu Ning didn't want to clarify it. After all, everyone in the village knew what he was like, and it was indeed something he could do, so instead of making unnecessary explanations, it was better to stop and stay at home. Let's look for an opportunity to thoroughly explain this matter and the matter of stealing roe deer to Li Sanlao, and let the people in the village comment on it when the time comes.

"Pull ahead and pull to a stop. You go to the forest farm to refuel. Then wait for me here."

Xu Long nodded: "Hurry up, how long will it take?"

"A little more than one, and the cellar is still three or four miles away from here."

"Row."

Xu Ning got out of the car with her things, and then Xu Long drove to the forest farm.

When he reached the cellar, he raised his arm and glanced at his watch. It was already past nine forty.

There is smoke rising from the roof of the cellar, a row of chopped firewood is placed in front of the door, red peppers, two pheasants, and jumping cats are hung on the stone wall...

"uncle!"

Ma Liu was twisting the hemp rope in the room. When he heard the sound, he raised his head and responded: "Hey!"

He heard the voice sounded like Xu Ning, so he asked: "Er Ning?"

"it's me!"

Ma Liu hurriedly stood up and walked to the door. As soon as he opened the door curtain, he met Xu Ning. Seeing him carrying something, he walked into the room with a smile and said, "Why are you bringing something here again?"

"Ah, isn't this a trip to Baishilizi?"

Ma Liu blinked and asked Xu Ning to sit on the bed, "Are you ready?"

"It has to be! We stayed together in the mountains for four nights. After we had something to do, we went to Wanye. We stayed in Wanye for two nights, and then we fixed it when we went back to collect the condoms. It didn't feel frozen at the time, so it should be I just put it on this morning..."

"You have a great idea, but I thought you'd have to go all the way in vain. Zizhen, is this sorghum red again? Hey, this pot looks quite big, is it twenty pounds?"

"Yeah! Don't I want to show my filial piety to you? Haha, uncle, why don't you try it?"

Ma Liu waved his hand, "What do you want to try? I just finished drinking it this morning, and there is still a bottom of what you brought me last time."

"Then you haven't had much to drink these days. Why are you getting angry?" Xu Ning joked.

"Why am I so angry? You've fucked me twice, haven't you? I'm not greedy anymore. I usually drink half a bowl in one meal. It's so cool!... Hey, why don't you give me this? Two cigarettes? Oh my god! You need to spend this money..."

Ma Liu clapped his legs and said angrily: "If you have this money, buy some tobacco leaves. You can buy as many as you want!"

"It's the Chinese New Year so soon, why don't we get something good? Hey, uncle, this big skin was made by my two brothers and I. We usually divide it into four shares, I take two shares, and they each have one share. This Think back to me and score five shares..."

Before Xu Ning could finish speaking, Ma Liu was overthinking it. He waved his hand to interrupt and said, "It's divided into five parts, and I have one, right?"
