Return to 1983 Hunting Xing'an Mountains

Chapter 265: The leader is responsible for fighting the slippery slope
When Xu Ning and others entered the courtyard of Li Fuqiang's house, they saw Liu Tianen and Wen Bin Wenbo tinkering with mareizi, and then Wang Biao joined them, preparing for the first sound before the meal.

There is no need to set off cannons on the ninth day of the first lunar month, but the Li family is very lively today, so there is no problem in setting off cannons.

In the morning, Li Fuqiang went to call the Xu and Wang families, and Li Mantang and Li Jinyu went to call the Liu Daming family.

In fact, there is no need to shout, they all have to come because it was decided last night.

But why did Li Fuqiang insist on shouting? First, he is a junior, so it would show respect if he shouted in person, and second, because Yang Yusheng is a person who attaches great importance to rules and etiquette.

At this moment, Xu Laowen and others were chatting with Yang Yusheng in the east room. Xu Ning stepped into the outer room, picked up an enamel basin, and asked Yang Shuhua for water.

Yang Shuhua just opened the lid of the pot, took out the rice bowl inside, and poured hot water twice with a ladle. She wanted to give Xu Ning some cold water, but Xu Feng rushed over and said, "Sister-in-law, I'll give you some cold water, and you can do your work."

Yang Shuhua was obviously taken aback, because Xu Feng was so diligent. He asked her if there was anything she could help her with when she walked in. But there were so many old ladies in the outer room, how could she be needed? Then she and Li Jinyu were driven to the West Room.

"There is a handkerchief behind the door of the west room. Let your second brother make a new one."

"Eh."

"Brother, should we be on time?" Yang Yusheng teased.

"Hahaha, then let's just eat it dry? Why don't we do something to cheer up?" Yang Yusheng said with a smile.

Why is she wearing her beard? Why should Xu Ning be more biased towards her when we go to the reservoir to play? Otherwise, there are only three ice trucks in the family, but there are several children, so we can't rob them at that time? How could she, a weak woman, defeat Wang Biao and the other young men?

Xu Ning threw the handkerchief to her and went to the east room, ignoring the coquettish old girl. Because they were siblings, he knew very well what Xu Feng wanted to do.

But no one noticed her thoughts. After Yang Shuhua, Zhao Lan and Wang Shujuan brought the dumplings to the table, everyone officially started the dinner.

My mother has no objection to this. My son can eat whatever he likes. Now the conditions at home are good and he is much better than before...

"Hey, my sister-in-law still understands me." Xu Ning got up and ran to the outer room to fill the meal.

"Er Ning, there is rice in the outer room. If you want to eat it, go and serve it yourself." Yang Shuhua said.

Xu Feng was sitting on the edge of the kang and heard that she was a little upset. She showed it yesterday in vain, and this morning Xu Laowen's idea completely shattered her little thoughts.

"That's okay!" Yang Yusheng paused after hearing this and nodded.

Xu Ning rubbed his face, took the hand towel handed over by Xu Feng, wiped it twice, and said, "You're almost done."

In the morning, the leftover dishes from yesterday were heated up. In addition, Yang Shuhua steamed six pots of chicken cakes and cut three plates of meat mixed with deer and roe deer.

"Then it's settled."

Xu Ning had just swallowed two dumplings and almost jumped up when he heard this. During the Chinese New Year, you can see dumplings in almost every meal, and Xu Ning almost vomited after eating them.

"Well, third brother, who can handle your drinking capacity?" Wang Erli was also a little leery.

Xu Laowen was a little nervous when he heard this. He leaned back and said, "Oh my God, third brother, please spare me. My head was buzzing when I went home last night. I can't drink today."

Xu Laowen said: "Third brother, what do you think of this? After dinner, we will go for a walk in the reservoir, and then we will skate on the skates and reminisce about Qian'er."

In the east room, Yang Yusheng, Xu Laowen and others were sitting at the floor table, chatting animatedly and showing their teeth.

Yang Yusheng saw Xu Ning entering the room. Although he didn't say anything, he expressed his feelings with practical actions. He smoothly pulled Xu Ning to sit next to him, raised his hand and patted his leg.

"Second brother..." Xu Feng jumped on the spot twice.

He pays great attention to rules, but he also knows when to play and is not ambiguous about it.

But Xu Long muttered: "Just like others."

Guan Lei stood aside and grinned.

Xu Ning came back from the meal and was sipping pickled cabbage soup. Yang Yusheng smiled beside him and asked, "Is the reservoir close to here?"

"It's very close, the walkway is only half way, and the small reservoir is on the north side of the village."

"Ah..." Yang Yusheng responded, turned around and asked, "Brother, when will you go to work?"

Xu Laowen told the truth: "It stands to reason that I have to go to work after the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, but I am a clerical worker, so it doesn't matter if I am delayed for two days. I think I will go after the fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year."

"Hey, that's great. Then our field leaders also go to work after the 15th?"

"No, our farm director worked in the farm from the 30th to the 3rd day of the Lunar New Year. He was on duty there, and the rest of the leaders also had three days each. It's okay to have a holiday, but you can't delay things, otherwise something will happen to the forest farm. , who can bear it?”

Yang Yusheng suddenly said: "Your field leaders are very responsible."

Wang Erli said: "I'm very responsible. Mainly because I'm afraid something will happen. It's hard to celebrate the Chinese New Year. It would be terrible if something catches fire."

Yang Yusheng said with a smile: "I heard a lot of things when I was in the provincial capital, saying that there are a lot of intrigues among units in small places..."

Wang Erli shook his head: "Third brother, I don't know about other places, but we definitely don't have it in our field. Everyone is working hard in one place, and the results are the result. Having so many troubles will affect the results."

"That's true."

"Hey, third brother, what are you doing in the provincial capital for fun? I never asked."

Yang Yusheng was stunned for a moment, then glanced at Xu Ning. Seeing him shaking his head, he knew that Wang Erli was not clear about it. He said with a smile: "I grow tobacco leaves, haha... you will know later. Ask again, and I will fill the table for you when you have a drink at noon." Go down."

"Hahaha, third brother is so strong."

"Is it okay if you don't be ruthless? I'll show you the ice cart later. I'll make a circle with Erli first."

"There's nothing wrong with me, third brother. I've never convinced anyone when playing with ice cars, Xiao Qian'er..."

Immediately, Wang Erli talked about the happy times he had with Xu Laowen when he was a child.

After finishing the meal, just after eight o'clock, everyone put down their bowls and chopsticks and moved to the main courtyard. They watched Li Fuqiang rummaging in the lower room for ice trucks, one-legged donkeys and other ice tools. "Hey, Brother Qiang, why do you still have skates?" Wang Biao asked.

The skates these days are made of wooden boards, with ropes tied to the feet, and wires underneath the boards. They are definitely not as good as professional skates, but they are also toys for adults these days.

"These skates were made by my young ex-son, just before I got married to your sister-in-law. The ropes are damaged and I have to replace two new ropes."

Yang Yusheng said: "Get ready, we will go for a walk first."

"Okay, Third Uncle, don't run away in a hurry just after eating."

"Haha, do you think I look like you? It's just fun."

Immediately, Yang Yusheng, Xu Laowen and others left first, while Xu Ning, Li Fuqiang and others went from house to house searching for ice carts and one-legged donkeys...

In the end, five ice trucks and three and a half sets of ice picks were found. The wooden boards on two of the ice trucks had broken. Li Fuqiang and others found a few wooden boards to replace them.

There were also four one-legged donkeys and two pairs of skates, and then the group of people walked towards the small reservoir.

Liu Lizhen, Yang Shuhua and others first washed dishes and pots at Li's house. After cleaning up the inside and outside of the house, they went to Lao Xu's house together and continued cutting vegetables and meat. They were busy for lunch for a whole long time without any free time.

The old men took the children to play, while the old ladies left the house to work. Do they have any complaints?
No, because they know that a family must have a division of labor. The men are busy working to earn money, and it is only fair for the women to manage the housework. Besides, they have all the money in the family, so what else can they be dissatisfied about.

"Auntie, did Er Ning help Juan'er find deer fetuses? No, let my sister-in-law go out and search for them on the street?" Yang Shuhua asked.

Liu Lizhen whispered: "I'm looking for you. It's hard to find deer fetuses with twin sticks. Er Ning asked people from the pharmaceutical factory in the provincial capital. I don't have any information now. I guess there aren't any in the street. Don't bother your sister-in-law." ”

"Ah, that's okay... I've prepared the medicine."

"What did you prepare beforehand? You must have spent money again."

"It didn't cost any money. Didn't I go to cook spoons a year ago? The owner gave it to me as a gift."

"Don't spend money blindly. It's time for the rich man to go to junior high school. Then he will have to pay tuition and fees. They are getting older every year, how many clothes can they make?"

"Don't worry, auntie, I can't spend money blindly..."

……

Xu Ning and other young people have very fast legs and feet. Xu Feng didn't feel any pain in his legs as he ran all the way. It was mainly because they were running around and having fun, and there was an endless amount of energy all over their bodies.

When they were about to arrive at the small reservoir, they vaguely saw the backs of Xu Laowen and others. They hurried forward and caught up with them in a moment.

At this moment, Wang Biao, Liu Tianen, Wen Bin and Wenbo, who were carrying an ice cart and a one-legged donkey, were exhausted and covered with sweat.

Xu Laowen turned his head and said, "You have to pull a lot of ice trucks. Where can you put so many ice trucks?"

Xu Ning said: "I pulled them out from each house."

Yang Yusheng put his hands behind his back and said, "Then you take them to play first, and your dad and I will hang out by the reservoir."

"Okay, Third Uncle, you are in really good shape. You didn't even break a sweat while walking this way."

Yang Yusheng smiled and said: "How far have we gone? Don't look at my stooped waist. If you are serious about running in the mountains, you may not be able to outrun me. Okay, you go and play quickly, brother, let's take a walk."

"Okay."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Feng bared his teeth and waved, "Third uncle, see you soon!"

"Yeah, let's go play."

Immediately, Xu Ning led the children towards the edge of the small reservoir. After seeing the ice, Wang Biao took the lead and slipped down along the edge of the reservoir, followed by Liu Tianen and others.

At this time, the ice is still frozen hard, so there is no danger. The only dangerous places are the ice holes made by fishermen when setting nets and ground cages. However, fishermen will insert branches in the ice holes to prevent people from falling under the ice. Fall when frozen.

Wang Biao and the others were playing with one-legged donkeys, while Xu Feng and Jin Yumantang were skating on the ice cart. Xu Ning and Li Fuqiang also tied up their skates. They were skating and playing on the ice, and everyone was having a lot of fun. .

After playing for two full points, Xu Feng lay on the ice sweating profusely. Xu Ning skated up to him and bent down to lift her up.

"Either you have a good time, or you go to the shore to rest and get your cotton-padded jacket and trousers wet. Don't you want to be scolded when you get home?"

Xu Feng grinned and said, "Second brother, I have no energy at all. Just hug me."

Xu Ning was helpless: "You sit on the ice cart, tie your hands to the rope, and I will pull you along."

"OK!"

After pulling Xu Feng to the shore, Xu Ning no longer had any interest in playing. The feeling of playing with skates and skates now is not as exciting as when he was a child.

This is the case with anything you do. After you have truly experienced it, as you grow older and want to find the feeling you had before, even if you go back to the past, there will still be memories following you...

At nearly 11 o'clock, Yang Yusheng, Xu Laowen and others stood on the shore, watching Wang Biao and others racing on the ice. When they saw Liu Tianen fell, he slid more than two meters along the ice, which made several people laugh. laughing out loud.

Wang Biao slid to the shore and shouted: "Uncle Third, are you coming to play?"

Yang Yusheng waved his hand: "You guys have fun!"

Xu Laowen said: "It's great to be young."

"Not so good..." Yang Yusheng nodded and said, "Hey, what's the name of the place we just went to?"

"Daqinggouzi. Further north is Daqingdingzi. The names of the mountains here are easy to remember."

"It seems to me that there is no panic over there."

Wang Erli said with a smile: "Definitely not. Lengchang is surrounded by the forest farm."
