Return to 1983 Hunting Xing'an Mountains

Chapter 260 There is something wrong with Third Uncle
Inside the house, Xu Ning was the first to step out of the threshold. Without stopping, he turned around and pointed at the dog gang and glared. Immediately, the dog gang stopped, turned around and got into the doghouse.

Then Xu Laowen and Liu Lizhen ran out of the house, followed by Xu Long, Wang Shujuan and others to greet them.

Although Xu Ning came out first, he could guess who the little old man beside Li Fuqiang was, but he did not step forward rashly, but followed Xu Laowen.

Immediately, Li Fuqiang introduced with a smile: "Third uncle, this is my old uncle and aunt, and that is my brother and his eldest brother and sister-in-law...Old uncle, these are my third uncle and eldest uncle."

Yang Liguo spoke first and said: "Happy New Year to my uncle and aunt, just call me Li Guo."

"Have a great New Year!"

Liu Lizhen clapped her hands and said, "Oh my God, Liguo, I heard Shuhua say that he learned cooking from you earlier. This guy is a real person. Why haven't your wife and children come over?"

Yang Liguo replied: "Qiangzi is preparing the dishes. I just wanted to come over and take a look at you and my uncle. Qiangzi said that he would let you guys pile up together last night, and my uncle said that we brothers should get together, so now My third uncle is here too, so I need to go over and have some drinks!”

Xu Laolan said with a smile: "Last night Qiangzi didn't say that his third uncle was coming. I don't think about it. How can we, the old man, just go over and fend off harm? You guys can't drink anymore..."

At this time, everyone looked at the little old man. His temperament was like that of an old farmer. Although he was stooped, he was full of energy.

But Xu Ning was very happy. The third uncle's words came to his heart, and he laughed and said: "Haha, thank you third uncle for the compliment."

Yang Yusheng said: "I know what kind of person he is. When I came here a few years ago, I was so angry that I didn't get sick. He couldn't kill two birds with one stick. He drank heavily all day long and didn't care about anything at home. It’s so annoying.”

"Haha... I see that you are also a sexual person. Hey, didn't you have a brother? Why didn't you look at me?"

"Haha, then why did you almost make him sick before?"

At this time, Xu Laowen opened the curtain and walked into the east room to welcome Yang Yusheng. Wang Shujuan hurriedly went to make tea, and Liu Lizhen also went to the west room to catch melon seeds...

There is a small road connecting these three villages of Yongsheng, Taihe and Taiping. Cars are not accessible, but donkeys, horses and ox carts are accessible. Moreover, you don’t have to go far when you come from the street. Otherwise, you have to go north in a big circle if you take the main road.

The third uncle stretched out his hand and shook it tightly with Xu Chunlin, "Brother Xu, have a good New Year."

"Sure, I'm ten years older than you, so you call me Third Brother."

Yang Yusheng smiled when he heard this, and then heard Xu Laowen say: "Brother, let's go into the house quickly."

Li Fuqiang muttered: "Isn't this changed?"

"Oh shit, how did you see that? Don't look at the fact that Third Uncle is not very tall. He hits me like a grandson, pulling me back and forth."

Li Fuqiang rubbed his cheek and said: "I drank too much, so I was just talking nonsense. I forgot what I said specifically. Anyway, I made my third uncle angry and ran away. He didn't come here for nearly four or five years... "

"Happy New Year, brother."

These words made the people around him almost unable to hold back their laughter. Is Xu Erning a good boy? Then there are no bad children in the whole village.

After Wang Erli and others entered the house, Xu Laowen introduced Yang Yusheng, and then the two shook hands and said hello to each other.

Yang Yusheng smiled and nodded: "Then don't we have to thank you guys? If it weren't for your help, could he have improved?"

"Hey, third brother, we are all members of our own family. We help each other. Otherwise, we would go to work all day long and no one would care about the family. Qiangzi can help with things at home." Xu Laowen said.

Xu Laowen smiled and said: "Then it has indeed been changed. Did you change it together with this little bastard like me?"

"Hey, third brother, please don't be polite. None of us are heretics. If you say a few more polite words, my face will turn red." Xu Laowen said with a smile.

Yang Yusheng walked into the room and said with a smile: "Then I really have to be polite. Qiangzi will definitely trouble you a lot during this period. I heard a lot of things..."

"Hey, I was doing cupping in the house just now, but I didn't come out when I heard some noise, so let's go inside quickly."

"Is this a tiger? That's right. Before I came, I listened to Liguo's talk about your hunting in the mountains. It made my blood boil! Brother, do you and Erli often go into the mountains to hunt?"

In the house, Yang Yusheng rolled old dry cigarettes and ignored the Yingchun that Xu Laowen took out. He said: "We left home at about six o'clock in the morning. We drove the donkey cart from the trail in front of Yongsheng. We sat at Qiangzi's house. After more than ten minutes, I thought about coming over earlier to take a look."

Liu Lizhen said: "Third brother, Qiangzi has really helped us a lot. He cleaned up the front and back yards. He also brought the firewood piled at the base of the wall from the mountains. He doesn't drink anymore."

Watching Wang Biao's head disappear, Xu Ning smiled and said, "You are quite afraid of Third Uncle."

Li Fuqiang said with a smile: "My third uncle and my eldest uncle, my third uncle didn't look at you when he came in just now, so he came looking for you."

"Okay! This kid is so handsome. He looks like a good boy at first glance."

Xu Laowen turned around and took a look, and Li Fuqiang said, "I'll call my second uncle and the others to come over."

Xu Ning said speechlessly: "You are so fierce."

Wang Biao nodded: "Ah, my dad is doing cupping at home, so I'll go call him now."

Xu Ning stepped forward and shook hands with his third uncle, "Third uncle, happy New Year."

"Hey, who doesn't have some stories?"

At this time, four people ran out of Lao Wang's house and climbed over the low wall one by one, led by Wang Erli.

"Third brother, Li Guo, let's go in and warm up quickly. We are all members of our own family, so don't be polite." Liu Lizhen said.

The third uncle said with a smile: "I decided to come over and take a look at the last minute. I heard Liguo said that Qiangzi had changed a lot years ago. I was thinking of coming over for a surprise inspection to see if he had really changed."

At this time, Wang Biao heard the noise, and he lay on the wall and asked, "Second brother, are you coming to our house?"

Li Fuqiang just ran out and said hurriedly: "Biao, hurry up and call for my second uncle and second aunt. My third uncle and eldest uncle are here. Let's pile up at my end later."

The third uncle's real name is Yang Yusheng. He was a comrade-in-arms of Li Fuqiang's father during the war in Korea. He was also the matchmaker between Li Fuqiang and Yang Shuhua. Because he was the third eldest son of Yang Shuhua's second grandfather's family, the two were cousins ​​and nieces.

Xu Laowen shook his head: "Not often, I work as an accountant in a forestry farm. In the past, my family was young... Before my old son didn't learn well, I had to take a few days in the middle of the month to go for a walk in the mountains.

When Xu Ning heard Li Fuqiang's words, he stood at the door of the outhouse and turned to look at Lao Wang's house. There was a low wall in the middle, so he could see the windows of Lao Wang's east room at a glance.

"What's up, Qiangzi, who are your relatives here?"

Now the three of them can tame the animals when they go into the mountains, and they can tame the rest of us to the point where we don’t even know what to do when we go into the mountains.

I just thought that I shouldn’t compare with them. The young people must have better physical strength than us, so they just stayed at home and idle. It must have been two months since I went into the mountains, right? "

Wang Erli nodded and answered: "Yeah, it must be more than two months."

Yang Yusheng lit the cigarette and took two puffs, "What does the Erli Fang Forest Farm do?"

"I'm a measuring ruler, and I'm the one who marks the wooden ripples in the lengchang."

"You both are very busy at work."

Xu Laowen nodded: "It's not that good. We went together at the end of this year and the Chinese New Year. I was doing abacus for nearly ten days, and this guy made me dizzy."

Yang Yusheng said with a smile: "There are so many people in the forest farm, why are you the only one doing the abacus?"

"It's not just me, there are a few accountants, but our leadership requirements are relatively high and we must strive for excellence. We can't just do it once and then fail. We have to do it four or five times from beginning to end." At this time, Li Fuqiang interrupted. : "Third uncle, my old uncle arranged for me to join the forest farm transportation team and go to work after the Chinese New Year."

"Ah." Yang Yusheng was obviously stunned and asked, "Is it easy for the transportation team to enter?"

Yang Liguo was chatting with Xu Ning, Wang Hu and Xu Long. When he heard Li Fuqiang talking about this, he immediately turned around and said, "Qiangzi, why didn't you tell me before?"

Li Fuqiang said with a smile: "I went to the street to find you before I signed the contract. My brother said that it won't be done until I sign. Let me hold it in for a while. It won't be the same after the Chinese New Year when you come and say no."

Yang Liguo turned around: "Er Ning is really safe in his work."

Next to him, Xu Laowen followed Yang Yusheng's words and said: "The forest farm transportation team must not be well organized. Qiangzi signs the contract and makes money according to the waybill, not wages."

Yang Yusheng glanced at Li Fuqiang and said, "Are your driving handles strong enough now?"

"Let's make it work. I'll drive back and forth on the street."

"Who did you learn to drive from? You didn't listen to Li Guo talk about it."

Li Fuqiang said: "I learned it from my brother. I went to Wangxing to fight siege before. I happened to have a car and learned it for a few days."

Yang Yusheng said with a smile: "Er Ning knows a lot of things. He can call a gun, shoot animals, and drive. It's not like Lao Fangjia is so idle."

Xu Laowen took over and said, "It's not good. I was thinking about helping him organize the forestry farm, but my eldest son and I are both working at the forestry farm, so it would be a bit awkward to do it for him... Let's do it like this for now, and wait for me to do it again. Study and ask them to do something, don’t just leave them at home.”

Yang Yusheng nodded when he heard the words: "That's right. If you are idle at home, you will easily get sick. You can make some money by running around the mountains and hunting sieges, but this game is too dangerous. It's like fighting on the battlefield. You can't guarantee that you will meet someone else." Something evil."

Liu Lizhen sat on the edge of the Kang and agreed very much, saying: "Yes, the third brother is right! Two times a year ago, these three people didn't get home until after ten o'clock in the evening. I was so anxious that they left the outer room to cook. , I almost put my hand into the frying pan, but Shuhua took it and fried it. "

Xu Ning said: "Mom, isn't that a special situation? As usual, we come back at three or four o'clock in the afternoon before it gets dark."

"Are you justified under special circumstances?" Liu Lizhen said, rolling her eyelids.

Xu Long answered: "Slap your little mouth again!"

"Sister-in-law..."

Before Xu Ning could shout, Xu Long stretched out his hand to cover his mouth and dragged him to the door. Liu Lizhen sat on the edge of the Kang and raised her legs to persuade: "You two, stop messing around!"

Yang Yusheng grinned after seeing it, "Brother, let's go for a walk to the Qiangzi side? Let's have some drinks together at noon."

"Okay! Third brother, you are here, otherwise I can't go."

Li Fuqiang answered: "What else is there to say?"

"Let's go."

Liu Lizhen walked to the outer room and said, "You guys go over first, Fengjiao and I will go to the lower room."

Li Fuqiang said: "Auntie, there is no need to bring anything. My eldest brother came over and brought a lot of vegetables and meat. Shuhua and my sister-in-law are putting the house away. Let Huzi get a table, we old people have to put it away." Three tables.”

"That's alright. Huzi will go get the table. Feng'er, don't be idle. Get some stools with your second brother." Liu Lizhen arranged.

Li Fuqiang hugged Wang Biao and said, "Biao, go and call me."

"okay."

The original plan was for the juniors to gather at Li Fuqiang's house, but Liu Daming and his wife thought of leaving the house to eat as they please. After all, they have been eating heavy meat for several days, so it would be different to try something lighter.

Immediately, everyone in the room started to move. Liu Lizhen asked Xu Long to hold a basin of bowls and chopsticks. Xu Feng, Wang Hu, Xu Ning and others carried the table and stools and walked toward Tunxi in a mighty manner.

Walking on the street, I met many villagers, all of whom greeted Xu Laowen.

Seeing that he was very kind, Yang Yusheng smiled and said, "It's very easy for you to talk in the village."

"Third brother, don't you only have one face when you live? I usually go to anyone who has something to do and help whenever I can. The main reason is that my eldest brother is the branch secretary of the village. He has done a lot of things, so the people in the village They all listened to him.”

"Ah, you still have a big brother."

"I'm not my eldest brother. We've been playing together since childhood. The relationship between three generations is just there."

Yang Yusheng understood, "Then his family also works in the forest farm?"

"No, he has three children. Two of his daughters are married. The remaining son is working in the post office on the street. He came back from the army to be assigned."

"Then why didn't you go to the tree farm?"

Xu Laowen smiled and said: "Third brother, although the forestry farm is very good, not everyone likes it. The post and telecommunications office is easy to work, and the pay is much better than that of the forestry farm."

"That's what happened." Yang Yusheng nodded.

Everyone strolled to Li Fuqiang's house, where Yang Shuhua and Zhao Lan led their children to welcome them out.

Yang Liguo introduced Zhao Lan, Yang Wenbin, and Yang Wenbo to everyone. Zhao Lan had to explain why he didn't go to Lao Xu's house. In fact, there is no need to explain, Liu Lizhen and others can understand. After all, they have to cook for so many people and must prepare in advance.

Entering the east room, Xu Laowen dragged Yang Yusheng to sit on the kang, while Wang Erli sat cross-legged on the edge of the kang so that he could pour tea and pass cigarettes.

When Yang Liguo entered the room, he put on his sleeves and said, "Auntie, you and my second aunt sit in the room, and I'll take the spoon at noon."

"Oh my god, then I should learn more!" Liu Lizhen said with a smile.

Yang Liguo laughed and said, "Auntie, then I'm not humble anymore."

"Then why are you so modest? You are the only one in Qing'an who can work as a chef in a big hotel on the street, so your skills are certainly nothing to say."

Immediately, Liu Lizhen, Han Fengjiao, and Wang Shujuan followed Yang Liguo to the outhouse, where they helped cut vegetables and change knives. They chatted while preparing the dishes, and Yang Liguo was able to pick up the topic and didn't have any stage fright among a bunch of old ladies.

After Wang Biao and Liu Daming arrived, Xu Ning rushed Wang Biao and Liu Tianen to the west room and asked them to go play with Wen Bin and Wenbo. Otherwise, they would all gather in the east room in a mess, chattering and making it difficult to hear what was being said.

It has been two and a half hours since he came into contact with Yang Yusheng. During this period, Xu Ning rarely took the initiative to chat with him, and only listened to his chat with Xu Laowen and others in secret.

But as I listened, I felt something was wrong, because when talking about other topics, Yang Yusheng would suddenly ask about the forest farm, and the connection was so natural that Xu Laowen and others who were among them did not understand the hidden meaning.

It may not seem strange to others, but the more Xu Ning thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. A veteran who had participated in the war to aid Korea, although he looked like an old farmer, his speech and behavior did not look like a farmer. , more like a spy who specializes in getting information.

At this time, vegetables were being cooked in the outer room. Xu Ning found an excuse to choke on the smoke and called Li Fuqiang to the hospital.

"Brother, what does Third Uncle do? You haven't said anything for so long, which makes me very curious."

Li Fuqiang frowned and said, "I don't know. He used to stay in Ji Province, and then stayed in the provincial capital for several years. We don't know what he did specifically."

"Brother Liguo doesn't know either?"

"I don't know. I asked before and my third uncle said it had nothing to do with me. I haven't asked since then."
