Return to 1983 Hunting Xing'an Mountains

Chapter 235 Xu Erning: Why are you taking advantage of me?

"I'll go too!" Liu Tianen said.

Liu Lizhen turned around, slapped Liu Tianen on the neck, and said, "Hurry up and go home and take a look. That's your biological father. How can you deny it? Why are you so heartless?"

Liu Tianen shrank his neck and said, "Auntie, my dad is always looking for trouble to hurt me... Why don't you talk to him? My mom is not good at talking."

Xu Ning said: "Brother, you go directly to my uncle's house and trick him into taking a walk up the mountain. Come back for lunch at noon and I will chat with him."

Liu Tianen grabbed his arm excitedly, "Second brother, you'd better be nice to me!"

"Whatever your dad tells you, just listen and don't keep talking back."

"Know!"

Liu Lizhen glanced at it and said, "I failed in my promise. I just didn't remember it in my head."

"Hey, aunt..."

These days, Meng Ziyan and Liu Fenfang praised Xu Ning frequently, which made Meng Ziyan feel quite comfortable. Normally, they would have to nag Xu Ning for playing money and causing trouble. Meng Ziyan would have been very unhappy at that time, but Xu Ning was indeed like that at the time. Besides, it was her parents who said it, so she definitely couldn't refute it.

"Er Ning! Has the guest left?"

"You are really good now. You even know how to help the family with work. This kid in my family only knows how to play." Liu Fenfang pointed at Meng Yinhe and said with a smile.

He walked to the door of Lao Meng's house and shouted into the courtyard. Before Meng Laizi came out to greet him, he stepped into the courtyard. After taking only two or three steps, Meng Laizi and Liu Fenfang opened the door.

Xu Ning said with a smile: "Why are you so anxious? My dad will definitely be back at noon next year."

Xu Ning turned around and said, "I'm just taking a break, shall I go now?"

"Hey, Mom, didn't I help you light the fire?"

"Is your dad on vacation?"

Meng Yinhe was confused and thought: You used to be much more conscientious than me, why are you licking your face and talking about me?

"Go quickly, don't leave it to eat at noon."

"Mom, I don't mean that!"

When passing by Li San's house, I glanced into the courtyard. Only Sun Cuiping was washing clothes on the washboard. She didn't look at the heat. It should be cold water.

"Okay, I have to arrange firewood and stomp on it in the afternoon."

"Haha, I know, Auntie."

"That's alright, you and Zi Yanlao can have some drinks, I have to go stack the firewood pile."

Walking on the street with his legs in hand, he occasionally said hello to the villagers he met. Now Xu Ning had thought about it. When he greeted him, he no longer had an attitude of being unreasonable, and simply said " Go to my Uncle Meng's house'.

And Xu Ning didn't bring deer hearts to Chai Bing. There were only three of them. Xu Ning thought that he would wait until the New Year treat to serve them on the table, which would give him face.

Yang Shuhua and Wang Shujuan followed Han Fengjiao to Lao Wang's house, where they were going to grind tofu and fry radish and tofu balls when they came back at noon.

"It won't work obviously. My apprentices will come over tomorrow. Oh, this game must be difficult to handle. We have all the work in hand, and we can't get there together."

"Are you annoying me? You're licking your face and complaining about me."

Immediately, Xu Ning got up and went to the west room to change into a cotton monkey, then left the room to cut off a roe deer leg and a deer leg. Liu Lizhen originally wanted to steam the deer blood she brought back yesterday, but she was not good at it and Yang Shuhua didn't come over, so she didn't give it to Chai Bing. Now it's put on the window sill, maybe she has to wait for Yang Shuhua. Only when you come back can you fix it.

Xu Ning entered the outhouse and saw Meng Ziyan and Meng Yinhe. Meng Yinhe smiled and nodded to him. Meng Ziyan's eyes were also bright. In fact, they had just met a few days ago, but the girl in love was naturally a little... With spring in mind.

Xu Ning smiled and nodded: "Yeah, I just left a little while ago, and my mother asked me to get it for you two on the occasion of the New Year."

Xu Ning had already entered the house. These guys are not good people. Don't look at the nonsense now. In the past two years, they basically fought all day long without stopping for a day.

At this time, Li Fuqiang, Wang Hu and others who were hanging out in the courtyard had already left. Xu Feng and Jin Yumantang walked into the west room and took a walk. They didn't know what to play with, and they went to the outer room and shouted, "Go to Brother Qiang's house." , and then the three ran away.

Liu Fenfang didn't take it seriously and hurriedly pushed Meng Ziyan to change the water, while Meng Yinhe went to the west room to grab a platter of hazelnuts, melon seeds and so on.

"I know."

"What are these roe deer and deer legs? This must be such a tight game..." Liu Fenfang said.

"There is still a lot left at home. I just haven't given my second uncle, my eldest brother and my old uncle a share, but it's enough to eat."

In fact, Xu Ning just listened to a few words from Xu Laolan in the morning and learned how to apply them. He just followed his roots when he didn't know what to do...

Xu Ning shook his head: "Isn't this just in time for the end of the month? The forest farm wants to pay wages early. It is a busy time, otherwise we would have stayed home to rest."

Liu Fenfang smiled and said: "Er Ning, now that you and Zi Yan are not engaged, we still get along as usual. After dinner tonight, we will go over there and have a chat... This is not to study how you two work. .”

Xu Ning scolded with a straight face, "What are you talking about? What do you mean you didn't help my aunt light the fire? My aunt cooks and cleans the house all day long, and it's not much easier than my uncle Meng. Why don't you know how to be considerate of others? What a big deal, And you say such unconscionable things!”

"Hey...I'm not the same as you."

"Ah, Yan, remove the water and make another pot."

As soon as Liu Lizhen entered the house, she said to Xu Ning who was lying on the bed: "Why don't you go to Lao Meng's house and take a look at Ziyan? Cut off the deer's leg and send it to him. Tomorrow is the New Year's Eve, so we can have a good meal."

When Liu Fenfang heard this, she grinned and felt quite comfortable. She glanced at Meng Laizi and said, "Listen, Er Ning knows how to chat! Look at you two, thinking about me lying around at home all day long."

Xu Ning stopped him quickly, "No, Uncle Meng, we are all members of our own family, so why not, I just don't want to drink hot tea."

Xu Feng patted Liu Tianen's butt, "You go quickly, why are you grinding people? Grinding people!"

In previous years, before the Chinese New Year, the four members of Meng Zizi's family had to go to Lao Xu's house to chat about home affairs, and then directly set a date for the two families to eat after the New Year.

"That's right. Your aunt and I were thinking of going some time before noon, but your dad didn't want to stay home. We were just discussing whether we could go tonight."

Meng Laizi stood up in a hurry, "Then you deserve the greatest credit. Er Ning's words are correct! Hey, I can go out to stack the firewood pile..."

"Dad! I'll go with you."

Immediately, Meng Laizi and Meng Yinhe left the outhouse. Liu Fenfang looked at Xu Ning and said, "Er Ning, you two chat, let's eat here at noon, my aunt wants to make dumplings."

"No, I have to go back at noon to take care of something."

"What's wrong with you? Why don't you like the dumplings made by your aunt?"

Xu Ning waved his hand: "No! How can that be possible? My uncle and his son were having trouble, and my father specifically asked me to chat with my uncle."

"Ah, if Auntie won't stop you, you two can chat."

When Liu Fenfang arrived at the outhouse and the door curtain had just been lowered and was swinging, Xu Ning turned around and grabbed Meng Ziyan's arm, pulling her between the two edges.

He put his hands on her slim waist and looked up at her face. Meng Ziyan, however, had round eyes, looking at his handsome face with watery eyes, and then put her hands on his shoulders.

The two were silent in this position for nearly two minutes, and then Xu Ning pulled her to the side and sat beside him on the edge of the Kang.

"Are you bored staying at home?"

Meng Ziyan shook her head: "Don't be bored, what are you hunting in the mountains?"

"They are roe deer, deer, and mainly wild boars. They are a serious pest. If we don't get rid of them now, they will definitely come down the mountain and cause harm to crops before autumn."

"Yeah! Do you think I'm fatter?"

Xu Ning said with a smile: "Looking at the face, it looks a little fleshy. Let me feel if there is any flesh in the belly."

Before Meng Ziyan could say anything, Xu Ning took action. He didn't even reach in, but pressed it through his cotton-padded jacket. Meng Ziyan's face turned red and she whispered, "Tick it... don't do it."

"Hahaha, our Northeastern dialect is very strong. I just started to get emotional, and your words immediately killed me." Xu Ning said in a low voice.

Meng Ziyan tilted her head and asked, "What do you mean?"

"It's not interesting. Your voice sounds nice. Do you still have any cream at home? Does my aunt use it?" "There are quite a few more. After you came over last time and told me, my mother was obedient. I apply it all day long, but I just can’t apply it once and don’t want to apply it more..."

This is the normal mentality of rural women. They are reluctant to give up anything delicious or useful. Part of the reason is that they want to leave it to their children, and some of the reasons are because they are used to being diligent and thrifty.

"That's normal. Since it's been wiped off, it's a good start."

Meng Ziyan asked: "Why don't you wear the scarf I knitted for you?"

"We went up the mountain to bury them all."

"Ah, then I will knit two more for you, and you can wear them interchangeably. My mother will buy you a dress... Hey, I can't tell you this in advance."

Xu Ning blinked and asked, "What can you buy me? Clothes?"

Meng Ziyan stuck out her tongue and said, "Yeah, she went to buy it with my dad on the street a few days ago."

"Hey, my aunt is so kind to me. Aren't Yinhe jealous of me?"

Meng Ziyan smiled and said: "Why is he jealous? He has what you have. Besides, why don't you give him a floral shirt? I made it into a cotton-padded jacket for him to wear during the New Year."

Xu Ning was a little confused after hearing this, "Keep it for the New Year? Damn it, why is this kid so bad?"

"Hahaha, he used to envy you for wearing fancy clothes. If you give him a fancy shirt, he will definitely go out and wear it."

"I already have a picture in my head. Hey, the Milky Way is not easy to worry about."

"It's not that good. Usually my parents don't do anything to him, but I'm not used to it...has their impression of me changed? I'm not that weak."

The two were husband and wife in their previous life, how could Xu Ning not know what she was like? She is just too humble in front of herself. Other times when she gets along with others, she is a smarter and stronger person than normal people.

In her previous life, she and Wang Shujuan got along very well. Wang Shujuan always advised Xu Ning to be nice to Meng Ziyan, but... let's not talk about it.

"The atmosphere between us is quite good now, which means that you have taken what I said to you before into your heart."

Meng Ziyan nodded: "Yeah, I definitely take it from my heart. Everything you said is right."

"Hurry up and pull it down. Have I never said the wrong thing or done the wrong thing?"

Meng Ziyan thought about it carefully and shook her head: "It's really not the case...my parents can't fault you for being so nagging about doing things."

"Hey, you're just trying to put money on my face. If you keep nagging me like this, I'm leaving."

Meng Ziyan hurriedly grabbed him, turned to look at the door curtain of the room, then thought about the courtyard outside the window, then followed her head towards Xu Ning, pursed her lips and pecked Xu Ning on the face. .

Xu Ning felt a little strange, because when they were husband and wife, Meng Ziyan never dared to approach him, let alone give him a peck.

"Hey mom...how can you take advantage of me! Rogue..."

Xu Ning pretended to be innocent, looked at Meng Ziyan and rolled her eyes.

Meng Ziyan was a little flustered when she saw this, and hurriedly waved her hands and explained, "No, I just don't want you to leave, you're like a haha."

Xu Ning held her hand and said, "I'm teasing you, why do you take it seriously?"

"You say I'm a gangster, can I not take it seriously? Don't always scare me." Meng Ziyan was so anxious that she almost cried.

It’s not surprising that she was like this, because this year, nearly 2.4 people ate peanuts because of the word ‘hooligan’.

"I'm teasing you, look at you, why don't you know how to tease me? Oh, okay, then you are not a gangster, I am a gangster. You took advantage of me just now, and now I will come back, okay?"

After saying that, Xu Ning tilted her head forward, but Meng Ziyan leaned back in time and dodged.

"Eh? What are you hiding from?"

Meng Ziyan laughed and said: "Just hide, who told you to tease me."

The two chatted well in the house, and their relationship gradually increased. Since the two of them were in love with each other, there was no obstacle between them, so the usual chatting was mainly about family matters, and there were no random things at all.

Xu Ning looked at the wall clock and it was almost ten o'clock. He stood up and told Meng Ziyan that he wanted to leave, but Meng Ziyan was really reluctant to leave. Then the two of them rested on the bed and rubbed their hands for two minutes. Then Xu Ning got up and walked to the outer room. , said hello to Liu Fenfang, and walked to the courtyard.

"What, are you leaving? Er Ning." Meng Laizi asked as he packed up the pile of firewood.

"Yeah, come over tonight, Uncle Meng."

Meng Laizi nodded: "We must go! Let your dad make some good tea."

"Got it!"

When Xu Ning walked to the street, Meng Laizi looked back at the piles of firewood that had been piled up, feeling a little sad in his heart.

"Hey, Dad, can't we let them go for a walk in the future? We're already freezing out here!" Meng Yinhe said with a pout.

"What do you know? Your sister is not in good health. What if something goes wrong if she is left outside?"

Meng Ziyan walked into the house holding Liu Fenfang's arm. When she heard the words of her father and brother, her face turned red unconsciously. That's right. How could the prospective father-in-law and the prospective brother-in-law make room for them? It would be unpleasant to hear this spread.

But each family has its own style of doing things. The four members of Lao Meng's family focus on democracy, discussing with each other and understanding each other.

"What are you talking about with Er Ning? Why are you blushing?"

Meng Ziyan pouted and said, "Just chat about family matters."

"Hey, you don't tell mom anything now. You know how to hide it, right?"

"Hey, Mom, no...there's really nothing to talk about."

"Okay, okay, you two can chat as much as you want. When you enter Lao Xu's house, you two can chat as much as you like."

……

When Xu Ning came home, he happened to see Liu Lizhen chopping radishes. He took over and chopped a basin, while Liu Lizhen went to the east wing to feed the dog.

When Han Fengjiao, Wang Shujuan and Yang Shuhua came back with their poles, they cut the ground tofu into pieces and put it in the courtyard to make frozen tofu. They also used some soy milk to make the tofu skin, and put some sugar in the bottom of the remaining bits. , everyone drank a bowl.

While Han Fengjiao and Yang Shuhua were frying radish and tofu balls, Liu Daming, Li Fuqiang and others came back carrying three pheasants and two jumping cats.

"Are you going to Nanshan?"

Li Fuqiang bared his teeth and said, "Yeah, I happened to be watching Old Yutou driving the donkey cart to the south mountain, so we walked together."

"Didn't you get him a pheasant?"

Liu Daming said: "I gave it, but he didn't want it. He said you brought him a lot of things last time."

"No, no, no. Uncle, have you reconciled with your son?"

Liu Daming waved his hand: "I get angry just looking at him."

Liu Tianen stood at the doorframe, complaining to Liu Lizhen, saying that Liu Daming scolded him when he had nothing to do the first afternoon, but he didn't dare to say anything back...

"Then why are you so angry? You can't always go smoothly in whatever you do. You can wait until Tianen graduates from junior high school before studying. If you let him go to school now, then he can go to the streets to study technology, and no one will look after him. Like what I did before?"

Liu Lizhen turned around and said: "You are in the fourth grade of elementary school and are still worried about this matter. Why don't you think about it? What are you capable of? I think Tianen is very good. He is only 15 during the Chinese New Year. Let your brother-in-law study it after he graduates. Find a place for him to learn some skills."

When Liu Daming heard his sister speak, there was no movement for a while, and he just nodded silently.

"Old uncle, when Tian'en graduates, I will find a place for him to learn to repair cars. He will definitely be able to do this in the future. It is a guaranteed income in droughts and floods. When he learns the skills, he can work for others or open his own shop, which will be able to support the family. Yes, stop worrying so blindly."

Liu Daming frowned: "Learn to repair cars?"

At this time, Wang Hu's eyes lit up as he was leaning against the door frame, "Second brother, why are you so good at repairing cars? Then I'll learn how to do it too."
