Return to 1983 Hunting Xing'an Mountains

Chapter 219 Are you a tiger reinforcement and a firewood soldier?

January 1, the 18th day of the twelfth lunar month.

Today, Xu Ning stayed at home and lay down without going anywhere, because Chai Bing called the day before yesterday and said he was coming over. He came to Lao Xu's house this time mainly to give some gifts to Xu Ning's parents before the new year, and also wanted to follow him. Xu Ning went into the mountains to hunt together.

Why give gifts to Xu Ning’s parents? This also depends on Xu Ning's face. When he was setting aside Wangxing to fight siege, he got along very well with Chai Liangyu, and his siege skills were strong enough, so he wanted to maintain this relationship, and then ask Xu Ning to help in the autumn.

Wangxing is a large and wealthy village, and it must ensure a bumper harvest for its ginseng and crop fields. If livestock harms the village, the villagers will have to die.

After Xu Laowen, Wang Erli, and Xu Long went to work, Han Fengjiao, Yang Shuhua, and Li Fuqiang came to Lao Xu's house one after another to prepare lunch dishes with Liu Lizhen.

My mother disliked that Xu Feng's house was too noisy, so she and Jin Yumantang were driven to Lao Wang's house next door to stay with Wang Biao and Liu Tian'en. However, Wang Biao's house was engaged in creation, so she felt helpless and rushed to the house. The old Xu family found Xu Ning and lobbied him to help and give him some inspiration.

Xu Ning glanced at the jingle written by Wang Biao. It contained about a hundred words, and it was true that every word was jingle. Xu Ning patted Wang Biao on the shoulder and told him that this was enough, but the final key step was still needed.

Wang Biao was a little confused as to what steps were missing. Li Fuqiang grinned and said, "It's just publicity! Biao, just post this little word on the door of Li San's house, and it's basically done."

Xu Ning waved his hand and said: "How can it be so neat? Things must be done in a regular manner. Biao, go back and write two more copies. Aren't you and Huang Da Xiao's son classmates? Give this little poem to him and let him finish it. He read it aloud twice at home, and for the remaining copies, you go to the store to buy something, and then secretly throw them on the ground..."

Xu Ning and Wang Yuanjun met several times. At that time, Xu Long had just returned from the army and was dating Wang Shujuan. The relationship could not be said to be very good. After all, Xu Ning's reputation was not very good, but they were considered real relatives. They would definitely be close when they met!
When Liu Lizhen, Xu Ning and others arrived at the door, they heard Wang Yuanjun say with a smile: "Auntie, I didn't get home until the tenth day of the lunar month, so I let my comrades drag me for a walk around his house."

Wang Biao dragged Liu Tianen back to his home, and he wrote four copies of the article. Then he rushed to Taipingtun to find his classmate, explained a few sentences to him in detail, and then went to a small store to wander around, deliberately leaving behind the other three articles...

And just when Wang Biao and Liu Tianen were going to do things, at about 9:30, there was a person standing at the door of Lao Xu's courtyard. This person greeted the owner twice and walked into the courtyard.

Li Fuqiang said with a smile: "What are you talking about? How can my brother not be harmed?"

Wang Hu gritted his teeth, "Why do you think it's a good thing for people to know that you wrote it? Are you a tiger?"

Liu Tianen applauded from the side, "Second brother, this is a thief's move!"

He has good facial features, a crew cut, and dark complexion. He is a bit like Wang Minfu. But the height is half a head shorter than Xu Ning, about 1.73 meters.

Xu Ning leaned against the kangqin cabinet and said, "Why don't you write under the pen name Sanhu? Why don't you sign your name later and that's it?"

"Haha..." Xu Ning waved her hands modestly and laughed.

Immediately a smile appeared on his face, and he said in surprise: "Oh my God! Jun, why did you come back?"

"Qianhu!"

In fact, people these days are not very tall. Xu Ning, who is nearly 1.8 meters tall, stands out among the crowd in Qing'an Village. There are only a handful of people taller than him, and they can be counted with one hand.

His back was straight and he walked neatly along the aisle. He was carrying tobacco, alcohol, cans, eggs, cakes and other items in his hands.

After hearing this, Wang Biao suddenly clapped his hands and said: "Hey! That's great. Wait until I write two more articles and promote it in our village. Then my name will become famous in Qing'an. Then I will stand up again." Come out and shout loudly, I, Wang Biao, am the Three Tigers! Haha... That feels so comfortable."

Liu Lizhen heard someone calling "aunt". She happened to be simmering oil next to the pot in the outer room, opened the door and saw him.

"You hit me?!" Wang Biao turned to glare at Wang Hu angrily.

But seeing Wang Biao in a bad mood, he looked confused: "Second brother, who knew that this was written by me?"

This person is none other than Wang Shujuan's younger brother Wang Yuanjun.

Wang Hu put his head back and rushed up, patting the back of his neck with a loud 'snap' sound.

Wang Yuanjun had been a soldier for several years before, but this time he was discharged. He was nearly two years older than Xu Ning and more than a year younger than Wang Shujuan.

Immediately, everyone in the room burst into evil laughter.

"Hey, you're finally back. I don't know what your dad thinks about staying at home. Come in quickly!"

Wang Yuanjun entered the room and put the things in his hands on the counter. Liu Lizhen asked him to take off his shoes and go to the kang to warm up. Then he urged Xu Ning to make tea. After hearing this, Wang Hu directly took the tea tray to the outer room, while Liu Lizhen He rummaged through the boxes and cabinets, took out a plate of hazelnuts, pine nuts and sugar, and placed them in front of Wang Yuanjun.

Although she hadn't seen her biological brother for a while, Wang Shujuan didn't pay any attention to him. Why?
Because Wang Yuanjun wanted to join the army, Wang Shujuan did not agree. At that time, she was about to go to work with Xu Long. If Wang Yuanjun left, only Wang Minfu and Guo Hongxia would be left in the family.

So Wang Shujuan introduced Li Fuqiang and Yang Shuhua, and then took Yang Shuhua to the outhouse to continue working.

Liu Lizhen sat next to Wang Yuanjun and asked many questions, such as whether she had a partner, whether her job was up or down, and whether your parents were in good health? …

Wang Yuanjun spoke in detail, but he didn't feel bored, he just felt very friendly.

"I heard from my mother that Er Ning is dating someone? Why are you getting married?"

"We will start work after the house is built during the Chinese New Year." Xu Ning replied in the affirmative.

These words made Liu Lizhen roll her eyes. Before she and Xu Laowen discussed it with Meng Zizi and his wife, Xu Ning smoothed out their words.

"Hey, isn't this just a matter of observation? If you need help at that time, please let me know." Wang Yuanjun said.

Xu Ning smiled and said, "I'm not being polite to you. I'll greet you if I need anything."

Liu Lizhen saw that they were chatting well, so she stood up and said, "Jun, you chat with Er Ning and the others while the aunt goes out to prepare the dishes."

"Yeah." Wang Yuanjun nodded. When Liu Lizhen went to the outhouse, he looked at Xu Ning and asked, "Who is coming to the house at noon? I see there are a lot of dishes being prepared in the outhouse."

"I went to visit Xing a while ago to do some business and I met some friends. They were all buddies. He called me a while ago and said he would come over today. You came at the right time. Don't leave at night. I'll go to Tunbu to call home later. , stay here for two more days."

Wang Yuanjun shook his head: "Ah, that won't work. I have to go back in the afternoon. I have something to do at home."

"What can happen to you? You can just wait here."

"It really can't be done. The Chinese New Year is about to come soon. I have to go back and get organized. I also have to visit relatives and so on. There's a lot of things to do." Xu Ning nodded and didn't try to stay any longer. Wang Yuanjun also I'm not a heretic. As the saying goes, people of the same kind flock together. The people in the old Xu family's circle are all real people, and there are no people who are picky and sly.

Immediately, Wang Yuanjun chatted with Xu Ning, Wang Hu, and Li Fuqiang, mainly about his troops. Xu Ning also talked about going hunting in the mountains, but in the end they both ended up at the forest farm.

Wang Yuanjun shook his head and sighed: "Since I came back, my uncle said that it is difficult to arrange work in the forest farm now, and I will have to work at the grain station during the Chinese New Year."

Xu Ning nodded and said with a smile: "It's quite difficult to arrange things now. Why? Our city's forestry bureau has a new second-in-command, do you understand? So it's difficult to arrange jobs that are staffed, but there are no staffed jobs, right? .”

After Xu Ning's analysis, Wang Yuanjun certainly knew Guo Xingmin's difficulties, but when he returned home, he felt unhappy when he saw his parents frugally. He was eager to make money and ease the family's financial situation. .

In fact, Wang Minfu and Guo Hongxia are rich. Wang Minfu works at the grain station, but his family's conditions are definitely not as good as those of Old Xu's. After all, Wang Yuanjun has been away for many years, which delayed the best opportunity to enter the forest farm.

Xu Long's position was originally reserved for him, but he made his own choice.

Li Fuqiang stood aside and listened without saying anything. When he was having dinner at Lao Xu's house a few days ago, Xu Laowen personally told him that he would go to the forest farm transportation team to follow the route of the truck after the Chinese New Year, and his salary would be based on "trip" Calculation, like calculating the money for a trip, is also a skill.

Although there is no establishment for this job, Li Fuqiang and his wife are very happy. Li Fuqiang usually drinks heavily when he is at home, and his income mainly depends on Yang Shuhua.

But this work does not happen every day. Even on an average monthly basis, I can only earn more than 20 yuan per month, which is far from enough to cover the expenses of four people in the family.

What's more, Jin Yumantang is in school and has to pay full tuition and miscellaneous fees without any deductions. The family pressure is very high, almost all of which falls on Yang Shuhua alone.

After Li Fuqiang gave up drinking and went hunting in the mountains with Xu Ning, the situation eased. In just a few months, the family's financial situation improved.

However, the income from hunting in the mountains is not fixed. Don't look at Xu Ning and the others. They have made two bear gall bladders and various skins, but it will take some time for these things to be cashed in. As the saying goes, water from afar cannot quench the thirst of nearers.

(Xu Ning himself has a bear bile, Xu Laowen and others have a bear bile, Xu Ning and the other three have two bear bile, making a total of four)

Li Fuqiang has indeed made money following Xu Ning recently. After excluding expenses, his family still has more than 300 yuan left, but he can't just sit back and rest. If his brother and uncle arrange a job, he must do it!
Therefore, Li Fuqiang and Yang Shuhua are very grateful to Xu Ning's family. Yang Shuhua often said: You are really a good person in your last life for being able to surround Er Ning. Otherwise, what kind of life would our family be living?

Xu Feng came back with Jinyumantang. Xiaoyundeng looked at Wang Yuanjun a little strangely, but she was not deterred at all. Xu Laowen always told her that she should be generous when seeing people, and she should speak when she should.

So when Xu Feng walked in and saw Wang Yuanjun, he was stunned, then jumped up to him, grabbed Wang Yuanjun's hand with both hands, turned to look at Xu Ning and asked: "Second brother, what should I be called? Tell me about you, at home. Why didn't the person come tell me, so I couldn't be more prepared..."

Everyone in the room laughed, and Wang Yuanjun was also stunned, "Is this Feng'er? Hey, he's grown so big."

Xu Ning said with a smile: "Well, I owe you a debt. This is your brother Jun, our sister-in-law's biological brother. Have you forgotten?"

Xu Feng was stunned when he heard this, then turned around and grabbed Wang Yuanjun's hand and shook it, "Oh my god, Brother Jun, I didn't mean to forget you. I must have been too young to remember things before now! Don't make excuses. …”

Wang Yuanjun laughed: "Haha, I know, I'm not making any sense! Feng'er should go to junior high school during the Chinese New Year, right?"

"Yeah, I'll go to junior high school next year."

"How's studying?"

Xu Feng gritted her teeth and said: "It's not bad. I missed a perfect score by two or three points. The teacher also gave me a certificate for being a good student. Look at it, my dad hung it on the wall..."

"Oh my god, Feng'er is so capable."

In the outhouse, Liu Lizhen wanted to cover her ears when she heard Xu Feng chattering. When she heard her chatting with Wang Yuanjun, she couldn't help but laugh.

Wang Shujuan looked at her and said with a smile: "Oh my god, what kind of in-laws do you think Feng'er will find in the future? This is too awesome, my little mouth won't have any time to spare."

Liu Lizhen felt worried, "Hey, I'm also worried. How can I deal with this?"

"Sister-in-law, why should I worry about this? There must be a way to reach the mountain. Feng'er's adventurous spirit can be enjoyed anywhere, just like Er Ning." Han Fengjiao said.

At around eleven o'clock, a Dongfeng car stopped at the door of Lao Xu's courtyard.

Inside the house, Xu Ning and others were chatting in full swing. Liu Lizhen and others in the outer room were also doing their work and did not notice the situation outside the hospital at all.

But Xu Feng, who was playing catch with Jin Yumantang in the west room, saw him. Why could she see him? It's simple, because she has been thinking about it!

"Oh my God, my mother! Second brother! My third brother is here! Come out and greet him!"

Xu Feng rushed to the ground in a panic, grabbed her shoes and ran towards the outhouse.

After Liu Lizhen, Xu Ning and others heard her shout, they all looked towards the courtyard through the glass, and happened to see Chai Bing pushing open the car door...

Immediately, Xu Ning stood up and said to Wang Yuanjun: "This is my buddy Wang Xing. He is older than Brother Qiang. I will introduce you to you when we meet later. Come on, follow me out to greet you."

As Wang Yuanjun nodded, everyone inside and outside the house ran towards the courtyard.

Although the scene was more enthusiastic than when Wang Yuanjun arrived, he understood what was going on.

Because he is Wang Shujuan's younger brother and has a certain relationship with Lao Xu's family, there is no need to be too polite. Besides, when Wang Yuanjun entered Lao Xu's courtyard, he did not greet him politely. He walked to the middle of the courtyard. Calling auntie, this shows that he knows that he is not an outsider and there is no need to be polite.

But Chai Bing is Xu Ning's friend. No matter how close the relationship is, he has to go out to greet him in order to show his enthusiasm for welcoming him.

Chai Bing walked around from the front of the car to the entrance of the courtyard. Before he could be greeted, he saw Liu Lizhen pushing open the door to the outhouse and rushing over.

Chai Bing hurriedly said hello, "Aunt, second aunt...hey, there's no need to welcome me like this, I'm not an outsider!"

"Hurry up and get in the house, Third Brother, didn't you say you would be there at about ten o'clock? Why did you arrive just now?"

Chai Bing touched his nose and said sheepishly: "Zhao Qingquan hit the car and pulled it out for me, otherwise I would have to arrive in the afternoon..."
