Return to 1983 Hunting Xing'an Mountains

Chapter 196: Can you take part in it? Just looking at him makes you angry

Although Xu He appears to be a rough man, chatting and doing things neatly and not sloppily, he is actually a thoughtful person, otherwise he would not be valued by the leaders of the provincial capital pharmaceutical factory and would marry his daughter to He was still appreciated by the leaders of the pharmaceutical factory many years after his marriage, and he was appointed captain of the transportation management team.

Xu He just made a common mistake that most children make, that is, he didn't know how to communicate with his parents. Sometimes he would get angry if he couldn't persuade him with just a few words, and he would act very helpless and lose the ability to communicate again. confidence.

Besides, parents these days are actually not very good at educating their children, let alone communicating with them. The Xu and Wang families are okay, but if it were other people, they would have been beaten with sticks for daring to look hard at their parents. ? I can't kill you!

Xu He and Xu He pulled Xu Ning's arm and walked towards the outhouse. As soon as they opened the door curtain, they saw Liu Lizhen and Wang Shujuan carrying the puppy by the scruff of the neck and entering the house.

Xu He said: "Auntie, let's go back first. Erning will go to our place to eat at noon."

"Ah, let's go now, stay later."

Xu He said with a smile: "Auntie, my mother is at home and busy with her own work. I have to go back to help. In a few days, won't we go back to the provincial capital? I don't know when we will come back. As the Chinese New Year is approaching, I will call you Er. Ning and my uncle Chang will go home for a meal."

Liu Lizhen smiled and nodded, "That's okay, I won't keep you here. Come back next time."

"Eh."

Immediately, Xu He and Xu He took Xu Ning's arm and walked to the courtyard, while Liu Lizhen followed behind and chased after Wang Shujuan when she sent the dog to the den.

"How can he play with that?" Xu Pao waved his hand and said, "Don't just send it home if you have any tasks. You can't bear it."

Xu He originally wanted to take the train back, but there were too many things he needed to pick up before leaving. He bought several baskets of vegetables alone, as well as some gift boxes, tobacco and alcohol. If taking the train was too inconvenient, in addition to the need to take precautions It's a petty theft, he can't carry these old things alone.

"Well, this game shouldn't be easy to play. The place you go to should be a nest. As long as you guard it from now on, you can fix it every year."

Xu He smoked a cigarette and asked, "Er Ning, can you do it alone?"

"Er Ning has been acting quite humane these days. He even invited people to come over and invite him to his home for dinner."

"After peeling it off, the head, tail and claws are quite intact."

Xu He and Xu He came to Chang Danian's house first, and then went to old Xu's house to deliver things. Xu Ning thought it might have something to do with the phone call Chang Danian made when he went to Tunbu. Originally, Xu Ning thought he just called He went to Xu's house for a meal, but he never expected that Xu He and Xu He would come to the house in person to give him something.

Xu Pao stared at the words and became energetic and said: "It's been a long time now. I stayed at home and waited for you to come, but you didn't even show up. Last time, you asked Big Speaker to give me bear paws. You Tell me why don't you come alone."

Chang Danian nodded: "That's true at all. We rely on mountains and rivers to support us, and we fight for who can live hard and live well."

"You really don't think you are an outsider."

"Hahaha, is that necessary?" Xu Ning picked up the peanuts and laughed.

Xu Pao was a little surprised when he heard this. He didn't expect that Xu Ning could go all the way through Gongyao Ridge and go to Wanye under the ridge. Not only did he meet someone, but he also recovered a big piece of skin.

Xu Pao was playing with the dog in the yard, and Aunt Gao walked to the outhouse holding a bundle of firewood. After the Jiefang car stopped, they both came out and saw Xu Ning and Chang Danian grinning.

Wang Shujuan said with a smile: "Mom, you didn't expect that Erning has changed so much, right? These old Xu brothers and sisters are doing well in the provincial capital, but most people in Qing'an can't talk to them."

Xu Ning looked at Xu Pao with a smile, tilted his head and asked: "Uncle, how are you feeling?"

Xu Ning looked at Xu He and asked with a smile: "Brother He, do you want to participate in Gaha? The pharmaceutical factory has a mission."

"Dad, look, I'm just asking, nothing else."

"The skin is peeled off?"

Xu He finished making tea for them, served melon seeds and other things, and then went to the outhouse to help Gao Auntie cook.

"Going to Wanye Gaha?" Xu Pao asked.

They sat at Lao Chang's house for three to five minutes. Xu He asked Chang Danian to get in the car quickly, and then they went to Taipingtun.

"OK……"

When Xu Ning and the other three walked to Lao Chang's house, he saw a second-generation Jiefang car parked at the door of Chang's courtyard.

"Haha, my uncle is still picky..."

This second-generation Jiefang car was specially used to collect medicines in the provincial capital. Xu He drove it back to Qing'an. Based on the current road conditions, it covered five and a half points and traveled more than 400 miles.

So he thought it would be more convenient to drive. Besides, the old couple would have to pick up things when they went to the provincial capital, so they didn't have to worry about anything.

Immediately, Xu Ning, Chang Danian, Xu He and others entered the east room. Xu Ning felt that the head of the kang was very hot and took off his shoes directly to get on the kang. Aunt Gao asked Xu He to make tea and grab some melon seeds, peanuts and hazelnuts. Go to the kang.

Xu Pao climbed into the kang in his slippers and sat between Chang Danian and Xu Ning, holding out the teapot and pouring water.

"Got it."

Chang Danian said with a smile: "Er Ning went to Wanye."

Xu He lit a cigarette for Chang Danian and sat on the edge of the kang. When Xu Pao entered the room and saw Xu Ning sitting cross-legged on the kang with a quilt covering her feet, she immediately grinned.

"It all depends on your fate. If your fate is good, the wealth will be yours. If your fate is bad, you won't be able to make any money from it."

Xu Pao, Xu He and Chang Danian were chatting with Xu Ning in the room. Xu Pao then asked the court, and Xu Ning told what happened to Wanye. There was nothing to hide. Tell the truth.

Xu Pao sneered: "Can you hide your little tricks from me?"

Xu Pao waved his hand and said: "He, take your Uncle Chang and Er Ning into the house. I'll tie up the dogs first."

The two of them looked at the Xu family brother and sister holding Xu Ning's hand and walking towards Lao Chang's house, and smiled at each other.

Liu Lizhen pursed her lips and nodded: "That's not good. Hey, I still remember that day when the angel's broomstick was left at your second uncle's house to cut him. It's been two months since then."

Xu Ning said with a smile: "I'm afraid I won't be able to defend it. That place is more than fifty miles away from Wanye."

When the lively green wolf and several dogs in the courtyard also ran towards Xu Ning, the four dogs, green wolf and gray wolf, became familiar with Xu Ning, and even took them to the mountains to hunt for sieges. They already regarded Xu Ning as half their master. .

At this time, Aunt Gao said: "Old Chang, Er Ning, you guys, come in and chat. It's so cold and cold outside. What's the point of chatting?"

"Eh."

"Part of it is due to mission requirements. I also have something else on my mind. Normally, pharmaceutical factories collect them from supply and marketing cooperatives and pharmacies, but if they have been sold a few times, the price will naturally not be much cheaper. If you can get rid of the ginseng , it’s definitely better for a pharmaceutical company to buy it directly than if you buy it from a supply and marketing cooperative drug store, you can’t sell it for hundreds of yuan more.”

Normally, it would not be Xu He's turn to have tasks in the pharmaceutical factory. He thought that the pharmaceutical factory was responsible for managing the transportation team, and tasks were usually given to the purchasing department and sales department. And Xu He's main idea is probably to get first-hand sources of goods, and then use them as gifts...

"Ah, how can I contact you if I'm in trouble?"

Xu Pao frowned and said, "Er Ning, can you really handle this?"

"I can't help it. I still have friends. I can make a profit from it."

Xu He smiled and said, "That's okay! I'll write you a number later, and you can just call me."

"Okay. Hey, Brother He, do you have double sticks and deer fetuses in your pharmaceutical factory?" "Shuang sticks and deer fetuses? There should be. Your sister-in-law's third sister keeps it in the medicine warehouse. I'll ask you when I get back. , Do you want to play this?"

"Well, there is a relative in my mother's house who heard that this game should be very exciting."

Xu He nodded: "Okay, if you find me, I'll give you a call."

"to make!"

Chang Danian sat with his legs crossed, taking a sip of tea first. After putting down the teacup, he looked at Xu He and asked, "He, does the pharmaceutical company accept bear bile skins?"

"Uncle Chang, the pharmaceutical factory will definitely accept bear bile, but the leather should not be accepted. The price of bear bile should be transparent. The price given by the pharmaceutical factory is not much different from that of our Qing'an Supply and Marketing Cooperative pharmacy. If the copper gall can be repaired, then the price will be transparent. The price offered by the pharmaceutical factory should be higher than that of the supply and marketing cooperative pharmacy, probably two to three hundred yuan higher."

"Ah." Chang Danian nodded.

He had collected a lot of good things in Tiaoshan over the years, but he was not in a hurry to sell them. First, he had enough money at home, and second, he saved up to marry Chang Xiaobao. As for where everything is placed, even Chang Juan doesn't know...

At this moment, Xu Pao raised his head and stared at Xu He with squinted eyes, obviously in a bad mood.

Originally, he wanted to chat with Xu Ning as soon as possible about going up the mountain to fight the siege. After all, he had not been out for two and a half months. Every time he heard Xu Ning, Chang Danian and others talking about what they were doing in the mountain, Xu Pao's heart It just itches.

He just nodded, but was silenced by Xu He's few words, so the more he looked at Xu He, the more displeased he became.

"You go out and help your mother with her work."

"Ah? Ah, that's okay...Uncle Chang, Er Ning, you guys are nagging."

Xu Ning bared his teeth and said, "Yes, Brother He."

After Xu He got up and went to the outhouse, Xu Pao turned around and glanced at the door curtain, turned his head and muttered: "He is everywhere, but he is annoying."

"Haha, uncle, why did Brother He offend you?"

Xu Pao said with a straight face, "I get angry when I look at him. He was just bragging about it when he came back yesterday, talking about how great the provincial capital is, how great is it, and how great is it to have a family? Without my dog ​​house, how could I have done it?" Is there a kid like him to play with?"

Chang Danian raised his hand to stop him, "Hey, pull him down quickly. Doesn't this matter? He also wants to let you two enjoy the happiness. Who can you rely on to get through the eyes of others?"

"Oh, you can stand and talk without pain in your back. Er Ning, are you going to the mountains tomorrow?"

When Xu Ning heard Xu Pao change the topic so quickly, he knew that he couldn't wait any longer, and smiled: "Okay, how can we decide tomorrow?"

Chang Danian said: "You are shouting at the strongman and the tiger, and you have to lead all the dogs, no matter whether they can touch the animals or not, you have to create momentum!"

When Xu Pao heard this, he immediately smiled and said: "That's right! We have to show off our momentum, so let's just leave home at 6:30 tomorrow morning."

Xu Ning and Chang Danian both nodded, and the door curtain was lifted. Xu He stuck out his head and bared his teeth and said, "Dad, I will drive you there tomorrow. It will save you a lot of walking on the road."

"Do I need you? You can stay home and sleep in, we have our own legs..."

Xu He glanced at Xu Ning and nodded sharply: "Hey, that's great. I haven't slept much these days, so I'll sleep until eight or nine tomorrow."

Xu Pao had a dark face when he heard this and said, "How come you are so lazy? You get up at half past five tomorrow to cook. If you are late for a second, I will beat you with a broomstick!"

Xu He said with a smile: "Ah, you don't want me to sleep in? Then do you still need me to take you up the mountain?"

"Send it off! Hurry up and hide here, I'm going to get upset just looking at you."

The reason why Xu Pao has this kind of emotion is actually easy to understand. The main reason is that he doesn't want to leave his hometown and go to the provincial capital. Once he leaves, can he still run in the mountains?

Besides, I was unfamiliar with the place in the provincial capital, so it was difficult to go anywhere, and there wasn’t even anyone to chat with.

And in Qing'an, how many people don't recognize Xu Pao? He is respected wherever he goes.

Before he finished talking, Xu He walked into the house carrying the Kang table, placed the table in the middle of the Kang, and then took a large table board from the outer room and placed it on the Kang table, so that the table could be placed with dishes. It can seat six or seven people, so it's not too crowded.

Xu He and Gao Auntie brought the dishes to the table. There were ten dishes in total, including braised croaker fish, chicken stewed with mushroom vermicelli, pork ribs and beans, braised pork belly and blood sausage with sauerkraut, stir-fried pork with garlic sprouts, stir-fried bean sprouts, and cucumber. Mixed pig ears, stewed catfish with eggplant, braised willow root with soy sauce, and tiger vegetables.

Aunt Gao knew that Xu Ning was proud of cucumbers mixed with pig ears, so she placed this dish in front of him, while Xu He went to buy two bottles of wine, and then gave Xu Pao half a jar of rheumatism-removing medicinal wine.

Xu He knew that it was not Xu Ning's first time at home for dinner and he was not an outsider, so he did not persuade him to drink.

Xu He came over with wine, poured it for Xu Ning, and said with a smile: "Er Ning, let's drink some of this."

"Okay, Sister Xiaohe. Madam, get on the kang quickly and stop working."

Aunt Gao smiled and ran towards the outer room and said, "You guys use the chopsticks first, and I'll get the rice spoon. My memory is getting worse..."

Xu He poured wine for Chang Danian and then said to Xu Ning and him: "Uncle Chang, Er Ning, try this Aohua. It was harvested from the Songhua River just last morning. It's very tender."

"Eh."

"Hurry up and use your chopsticks, don't wait..."

Aunt Gao entered the room with a rice spoon. Xu Ning smiled and handed the bowl to Xu He and said: "Sister Xiao He, serve me some rice. This good dish must be eaten with rice."

"Haha, Er Ning still knows how to eat."

Immediately after Gao Auntie came to the table, no one really moved their chopsticks. Xu Ning picked up some fish meat, dipped it in the soup and brought it to his mouth. The taste was extremely delicious, and it felt like it melted in your mouth.

The pork ribs, beans, tiger cabbage and cucumber mixed with pig ears placed on the table were all Xu Ning ate with pride.

Just talking about cucumbers, you can’t even buy them in Qing’an Street. You can only find them in provincial capitals and big hotels. Moreover, in the winter in the Northeast, vegetables are more expensive than domestic pork because they are grown in greenhouses. High cost.

Xu He went to the outhouse to get a spoon for Xu Ning, and then Xu Ning soaked the soup with pork ribs and green beans and mixed it with rice. Even if he didn't eat vegetables, he could make two big bowls.

Xu Pao, Chang Danian, and Xu He drank wine. After three drinks in a row, they became more emotional and naturally talked more.

"Tomorrow we will arrange for Xiaohe to drive us into the mountains. There will be a total of five people, nine dogs, and four guns... If we can't touch the livestock, then our idea is bad..."

Xu Ning asked: "Uncle, where should we go tomorrow?"

Xu Pao held the wine glass and said with a smile: "Take the northeastern fork and go west to the Old Sow Forest! Usually when I go there, I never come back empty-handed."

Chang Danian nodded: "That animal is thick, mainly because there are many wild boars, and there are also many small animals such as pheasants, jumping cats, and gray dogs."

"There's no roe deer or anything?"

"Yes! There are quite a few sightings, but there are very few livestock."

"Ah, that's alright. The mountain over there isn't high, so you two can just take a step forward."
