Return to 1983 Hunting Xing'an Mountains

Chapter 237: Both the poor and the rich are panicking
Xu Feng inherited her cleverness from Xu Laowei. Although Xu Laowei usually doted on her, Liu Lizhen did not. When it came time to pick her up with the feather duster, he did not hold back at all, so she was afraid of Liu Lizhen, not Xu Laowen.

Ever since she heard that her second brother's lover, Sister Meng, was coming to her home, she had prepared some tricks and was waiting for the opportunity to come into play!

When she finished saying this, she saw that Meng Ziyan was a little stunned. It was obvious that she did not expect Xu Feng to do this.

Why? Because when the two families had dinner together before, Xu Feng and Xu Erning shared the same hatred and ignored Meng Ziyan, not even bothering to say a word.

Looking at it now, Xu Feng raised her neck with a smile on her face, and the grinning expression almost had the word "slaughter" written on her face.

Wang Shujuan next to her smiled slightly when she saw this. This scene reminded her of an afternoon more than two years ago.

Xu Feng was also like this at that time. He captured her instantly and praised Xu Feng fiercely. But after she entered Lao Xu's house, she looked at Xu Feng again... Wow, there were two of them!

At this moment, Xu Feng saw that Meng Ziyan was silent. She hurriedly turned around and took the bottle screwdriver placed on the window sill. She directly opened the cap of the soda bottle and placed it in front of Meng Ziyan's legs. Then she stretched out her little black hands and paws. He tore off the tin foil wrapping the chocolate, and then stuffed the chocolate into Meng Ziyan's hand.

"Sister, try it! It's so delicious..."

Meng Ziyan was slightly dazed, thinking that Xiao Feng'er changed her face too quickly. She seemed to be similar to Xu Ning, and she was worthy of being a family member.

After he left, Xu Laowen handed Meng Laizi a cigarette and cursed with a smile: "This little bastard hasn't been doing anything right all day long. When I get some time, I have to give him a beating."

"Hurry back to your house and change. Hang up the coat your aunt brought for you and keep it for the New Year." Liu Lizhen said, leaving him alone.

"Stop being such a slut and recycle it quickly. It was a good piece of clothing, but it turned out to be bad when you put it on." Xu Laowen pointed at him helplessly and said.

"Haha...it looks good. Er Ning's face looks good in anything he wears!" Liu Fenfang clapped her hands and leaned back and forth with joy.

Xu Feng stood up and said with a smile: "Second brother, you look so handsome..."

Xu Ning stood still, adjusting the collar of his suit with one hand, grinning and saying, "Auntie, how are you doing?"

Meng Zizi was not well educated and was stunned for two or three seconds before he found the words to comment, "Hey, this look is very stylish!"

So in her heart, Xu Ning is her master. Now that she has it, she won't act like a nymphomaniac like usual, like she has no IQ...

Wang Shujuan hurriedly pulled her over, and then covered her mouth with her hand, fearing that if she continued to speak, Xu Ning would feel happy and change back to her original state.

Liu Fenfang was very happy and said with a smile: "Why bother? Just listen to your mother and go back to the house to change. I will keep them for the two days of the New Year. It happens to be not too cold."

At this time, footsteps came from the outer room, and two deliberate stomping sounds were heard, and then the curtain of the east room door was opened.

His upper body is a light brown, similar to military green suit jacket, with a light gray striped shirt underneath. The shirt is tucked into the denim flared pants on the lower body, and under the flared legs is a pair of old Shanghai Buyun brand sneakers. .

At this moment, Xu Ning was walking back and forth on the ground with her cowhide handbag under her arm. After turning around and stopping, she stomped her feet heavily on the ground.

Xu Ning nodded, then turned and walked towards the outhouse. When he opened the door curtain, he and Meng Ziyan looked at each other, with a hint of elusiveness in each other's eyes.

Liu Lizhen frowned in disgust, "Oh my God! What kind of look is this?"

"It's not easy at all, annoying!" Liu Lizhen rolled her eyes. In fact, she also laughed at her old son's behavior, but as a mother, she must not smile, otherwise she would not have dignity.

Liu Fenfang's cheeks hurt from laughing, "Oh my God! So handsome! He's so handsome, haha..."

It wasn't until around nine o'clock that Meng Laizi started to walk home, and Lao Xu's family got up to see him off. When he was sent to the door, Liu Lizhen said a few words, remember to come early at noon on the third day of the lunar month, so that the two families would be busy and lively.

Xu Ning laughed twice, "Why are you so anxious? Look, you are anxious. I am not making a joke..."

"Ah good……"

Xu Laowen frowned and scolded: "What a fool! Your aunt bought you some clothes, but this guy bought them for you! Can it be a little easier?"

Liu Lizhen on the side smiled after seeing it, and Liu Fenfang even praised Xu Feng for being able to do things, and she would definitely have a big future...

As for Meng Ziyan? She was sitting on the kang, her expression was not dull, only the corners of her mouth were slightly raised, and her head was filled with reverie. In the past, she would have had a nymphomaniac look with shining eyes, but now she and Xu Ning are in a relationship. Xu Ning has explained to her over and over again that he will get married after building a house after the Chinese New Year.

Liu Lizhen put one leg on the edge of the kang, and was about to get off the ground with the other leg. She raised her hand to hit Xu Ning's shoulder, and said angrily: "How do you still want to change back to the way you were before? Are you going to piss me off to death?"

She lowered her head and glanced at Xu Feng's little black paws. Without much disdain, she stuffed the chocolate into her mouth and chewed it. It was a little crispy, but then she felt bitter.

"Eh."

Xu Ning was carrying a cowhide handbag in his right hand. He entered the room and turned around to grin at the person on the kang. Then he crossed his legs, put the handbag under his left armpit, and then took two steps forward.

The room resumed its normal rhythm of chatting about the mountains. After Xu Ning entered the west room, he quickly changed out of his clothes and then returned to the east room, sitting between Meng Laizi and Liu Fenfang, chatting with them.

Immediately, Xu Ning's shoulders were raised and lowered, and she walked in with a figure-footed step.

After returning to the house, Wang Shujuan packed up the melon seed peels and candy wrappers on the kang. Her mother put the rags on the floor in the outhouse and threw them twice. Then she went in and lay down on the kang to wipe the mat.

Xu Long sat on the stool leaning against the edge of the kang, curled his lips and commented: "Der..."

Xu Laowen and Meng Laizi chatted happily. They both have daughters and have a lot of common languages.

Xu Laowen stared and said: "I'll give you two days of good looks, right? Ah! If you don't fight for three days, you can go to the house and untie the tiles..."

Xu Ning smiled: "Hey, this outfit has been stored in the cabinet for more than a year. I really miss it when I put it on suddenly..."

Meng Laizi didn't take it seriously and just said with a smile: "Haha, you have to wait for years to pass if you want to cut it."

Although I won't talk about him and Meng Ziyan today, what are the identities of Meng Laizi and Liu Fenfang? They must shave their beards when it's time to do so, which is different from the previous two years.

This suit was bought by Liu Fenfang, so it's probably not cheap.

Listening to the comments made by the parents of the two families, Wang Shujuan and Xu Feng, who were sitting on the kang, joined them in joy, while Meng Yinhe, who was sitting on the edge of the kang, looked envious and couldn't help imagining how he would look in these clothes, because He likes this kind of fancy outfit, otherwise he wouldn't let his sister change the floral shirt into a floral cotton jacket...

"What are you talking about! This kid can say anything!"

"I know. Auntie, I'm really curious about these clothes. I'm sorry for bothering you."

blah blah blah!

Xu Laowen leaned against the floor cabinet, glanced at him, and asked, "Dalong, you didn't go to your Uncle Du's place, did you?"

"Yeah, Juan'er and I will go tomorrow afternoon."

"Let's decide after the Little New Year whether we are going to go there next year." Liu Lizhen turned around and said.

Xu Laowen frowned, "That's my eldest brother, can you not go?"

"Are you deaf? I told you not to go until after the New Year."

Xu Ning had just returned from going to the latrine and heard the conversation between the old couple in the outer room. He opened the door curtain and said, "I, Uncle Du, told me that I would not be allowed to give gifts to others before the year..."

Liu Lizhen finished wiping the kang and got down to the ground, saying: "These are two different things. After the New Year, I will go there on the 25th. You can tell Erli tomorrow." I'll carry a bucket and wait for the second grade of junior high school to drink."

Since the death of Xu Ning and Wang Hu's grandfather, Du Shoucai had to invite the Xu and Wang families to have dinner on the second day of every Lunar New Year. As time went by, the Xu and Wang families went there by themselves without Du Shoucai calling them.

Before Xu Ning's grandfather was alive, Du Shoucai came to Xu's house for dinner on the second day of junior high school, because Du Shoucai's father died early because of his old age...

Xu Ning understood the arrangement of the old couple and reminded him: "Dad, tell Uncle Du and me about building a house. I have already chosen the place."

Xu Laowen frowned and said, "What do you mean? You're still commanding me."

Xu Long threw the cigarette butt into the stove pit in the outhouse, turned around and said, "That place is nice, but it's too big. I guess I'll have to pay some money."

Liu Lizhen wiped the edge of the kang, held the rag in her hand, and said, "I have to pay for it. How about blocking the mouths of the people in the village? It's enough for our family to show off in the village..."

"Well, it's quite ostentatious, especially in the past few months, eh..."

I felt panicked when I was poor, but I still felt panicked when I was rich. Xu Laowen's mental journey during this period was very difficult, just like he had two hundred yuan in his pocket before.

Although he seemed happy all day long, he was actually feeling panicked. He was thinking about what to do if Liu Lizhen found out about this small amount of private money.

But now that all his private money is gone, he is still worried. This man has nothing in his pocket and has no confidence to go anywhere. What if something happens to him?

Look at the big picture. In the past, Lao Xu's family was considered a wealthy family in Qing'an Village. The two people in the family were on salary. When they had nothing to do, they could still make some money and eat two meals of meat every other day. Remain.

But now? The old Xu family basically eats meat every day. In less than four months, Xu Ning has earned a thousand yuan by himself. If the bear bile collected by Xu Laowen and others is included, the old Xu family alone must have about 3,000 yuan. .

The most important thing is that Xu Ning always comes back with his things in order every time he goes hiking in the mountains. This makes people in the village look at him. Who wouldn't envy him? If they really get jealous and have evil intentions, then Liu Lizhen and Wang Shujuan will leave home. How can they deal with it?
"Don't think about those things. We live our lives by ourselves, and we don't provoke others and think about so many things."

Xu Long curled his lips and said, "You know a lot about football!"

Wang Shujuan pulled Xu Long's arm and said, "Stop saying a few words and let's go back to the house."

"I...I haven't washed my feet yet." Xu Long's eyelids were a little heavy and his legs were weak.

"I'll get you water to wash up. Come on, go back to the house!"

Xu Long was pulled by Wang Shujuan's arm and pushed to the outhouse, then went to the east wing.

Liu Lizhen washed the rag, returned to the east room, and said, "Er Ning, be more careful when you go up the mountain in the future. If someone wants to partner up with you, think about it."

Xu Ning heard the meaning behind her mother's words and nodded: "I know, it's impossible for me to gang up with others. Are you just listening to gossip?"

Xu Laowen frowned and said nothing. Liu Lizhen said: "I didn't hear anything. You should go back to the house and cover yourself with the quilt."

"Aren't you going to eat the meat? You have to take out the meat first and slow it down."

"Ah, that's good! Lao Xu, take the flashlight and let's go to the next room."

After hearing the sound, Xu Laowen got up and rummaged through the cabinet, found a flashlight, looked at Xu Ning standing at the door, and pushed him, "Are you just standing here? Hurry up and cover yourself with the quilt to sleep."

"What on earth are you listening to?" Xu Ning lowered his head and asked in a deep voice.

Liu Lizhen and Xu Laowen were blocked at the door. They sighed and heard Xu Laowen say: "Before I came back in the evening, I met your Aunt Zhao. She asked me to secretly say that someone was spreading rumors in the village. Gossip, they said that our family has made a lot of money in the past six months. We have at least more than 10,000 yuan, which is stored under the closet in the east room... I didn’t put it on the dining table to tell you when I came back. "

Xu Ning was stunned and said with a smile: "They can talk whatever they want, our family doesn't have 10,000 yuan."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Liu Lizhen and Xu Laowen looking at him. Xu Ning frowned and said, "Is our money really hidden under the floor cabinet?"

Liu Lizhen nodded: "Well, not now, I moved to another place..."

"This is someone spreading rumors and gossip in the village."

Xu Laowen nodded and said: "In your words, it's for sure! I'm not afraid of anything. You said that you run in the mountains all day long, and only your mother and sister-in-law are left at home. What if something happens to you?"

"Hey, don't think nonsense. There are people in the village during the day. What could happen? We won't be back in the evening."

At this time, Xu Feng ran back from the east wing, entered the room and saw three people standing at the door, and said, "Oh my God, what are you doing here?"

"You cover yourself up." Liu Lizhen pulled Xu Feng into the house, and the three of them arrived at the outhouse.

Xu Ning said: "Stop thinking nonsense, I will check this matter later."

Xu Feng lifted the door curtain and asked: "What are you investigating? Second brother, tell me and I will check it for you..."

"You're everywhere!" Liu Lizhen turned around and hissed.

Xu Ning said with a smile: "Feng'er, you are just playing in the village. Did you hear anything happened to our family?"

"I haven't heard of it. I just stayed at Brother Qiang's house to play with Jin Yu. I didn't go out much."

"Then you go for a walk tomorrow and listen to the gossip about our family in the village."

"Someone is spreading gossip about our family? Ah, then I will go for a walk tomorrow!"

Liu Lizhen and Xu Laowen glanced at the two of them, then walked out of the outhouse with flashlights and went to the lower room to get meat.

Xu Ning, on the other hand, adjusted some foot washing water and thought about this while soaking.

This matter is actually quite simple. The main reason is that Liu Lizhen and Xu Laowen think too complicatedly. The village is so big. With the strength of the old Xu family, how can anyone dare to mess with their family?
After just a few good days, my parents felt itchy and uneasy. It was also because of the money...

Xu Ning soaked her feet and shouted to the east room, and Xu Feng ran over with her shoes on.

"Gaha, second brother."

"You go and play with Li Tong tomorrow. You guys have a lot of fun. Don't get into a fight. Do you understand?"

Xu Feng frowned and muttered unhappily: "I'm too lazy to look at her."

"You have to look at that, you are so..."

Xu Ning gave Xu Feng a trick. Xu Feng nodded and said, "Is it appropriate for me to play with her next year?"

"Why isn't that appropriate? You can come back after playing for a while."

"okay!"

Why let Xu Feng play with Li Tong?

Because Xu Ning smelled a little bit of familiarity in this matter.
