Return to 1983 Hunting Xing'an Mountains

Chapter 300: The old leopard eats the sheep and withdraws from the stage of history?
Ever since he saw Xu Long driving a Jeep 212 to Xima Duozi to pick him up last night, Xu Ning had already figured out what to do.

First of all, Zhang Deyu and Guo Xingmin will know about the relationship between Yang Yusheng and the old Xu family sooner or later. It is better to take the opportunity of sending meat to directly pass the information to them.

Even if they are not at home, Uncle Guo and Huiniang will convey the message. If Zhang Deyu and Guo Xingmin meet again to study, everything will be understood in an instant.

When Xu Long and Wang Shujuan go back home, there are some things that Xu Laowang and Wang Erli can't say because they have never experienced that kind of thing, but Wang Minfu understands the inside story very well. As long as he heard that Xu Long was driving for the city leaders, , Wang Minfu must explain a few words...

Things really developed as Xu Ning expected, not because he was able to figure it out, but because society is like this, most relationships are based on face, just like what Zhang Deyu and Xu Ning are doing today, they can contract Lengchang even if they don't have money. No need to worry about money, just do whatever you want.

If Baoleng Chang loses money, don't worry. Use Xu Laowen's salary to pay the debt, and you can pay it off in a few years.

But is this true? No, this Lengchang is quite profitable now. As long as you can get the contract, you can just lie on the kang to make money. Even if it doesn't work, you can deal with two or three thousand a year, so as long as you can get the contract, you don't have to worry about losing money!

Everyone understands this truth, but do others have a chance? No, they don’t have such connections, let alone that much money!
Last time Xu Laowen was talking to Wang Erli and others about contracting Lengchang at home, and Xu Ning agreed. Xu Laowen had this intention, which showed that he was also thinking about the family, but Xu Laowen likes to rake things here and there and stick sticks here and there. , if Xu Ning doesn't keep an eye on it, the matter in Baolengchang will probably go to nothing.

In fact, Xu Ning doesn't have to worry, because since Xu Laowen knew Yang Yusheng's identity, he went to chat with Zhang Deyu, so Zhang Deyu took the initiative to bring up the matter of Baolengchang.

"Second brother, do you have to go to Dongshan in the afternoon?"

"Okay! As long as it's a job in the mountains, if you can learn it, learn it as soon as possible. We are young and in good health now. What should we do when we are as old as Uncle Chang? We can't just leave home and be idle."

Li Fuqiang smoked a cigarette and said: "This old man has a bad temper. If he knew that he gave us the wrong letter, he might be wondering."

"Hey, why is my military brother so popular?"

"Hahaha……"

"Okay, Auntie, we'll leave in a while."

"Ah? What are you doing, second brother?"

Xu Ning nodded: "Yeah, it's not good. Uncle Ma is still waiting for the letter."

Wang Hu said excitedly: "This is a good job! Second brother, when you master it, you can teach me."

Wang Minfu nodded: "Yeah, he just went to the grain station and has to get off work on time."

"How's the grain storage station going? Can anyone introduce me to someone?"

"My military brother has to wait until he gets off work in the evening?"

Jeep 212 stopped in front of Lao Wang's house. After the three people got out of the car, they saw Guo Hongxia and Wang Minfu coming out to welcome them.

Li Fuqiang grinned, "My brother is still thinking about the long term. He is thinking about retirement."

Guo Hongxia laughed when she talked about this. She said: "Why not? The day after I went to the grain station, two old women dragged Xiaojun and asked about his family background. They said they wanted to introduce him to a partner and asked how your uncle was doing. How was your uncle? Say no, let him decide."

Welcoming Xu Ning and the others into the room, he poured them a glass of water. Xu Ning drank it down without saying anything, put down the glass, and said, "This is enough to make my mouth dry." of!"

"Learn beekeeping from him, how to prepare honey..."

Xu Ning said, "Please give me some. I have to go live in another place before spring."

Xu Ning turned the jeep into Nanxin Village and said with a smile: "What can he think about? If I tell him wherever I go, he will understand that he will still have the courage to bear."

"That's for sure. It's quite pitiful for this old man to be alone. Brother, would you like to get some wine when you go to Dongshan?"

Neither Guo Hongxia nor Wang Minfu stayed, knowing that Xu Long had to go back to the city at noon. This was business and his progress could not be delayed.

Guo Hongxia came into the house with a basin and said, "Er Ning, you can wrap some frozen pears and eat them. They'll be so sweet."

"It's not good, I didn't expect it. I was worried at first, but now that I have seen it, I feel much brighter."

Xu Ning smiled and said, "Auntie, you don't have to worry. My military brother needs to be decent and have a good head. Our family is not rich, but we are not short of food and drink. Why worry about this?"

Guo Hongxia nodded: "Yeah, didn't it take me the past two days to figure it out? Hey, Er Ning, I heard that Dalong said that your parents have left the building of the house to you?"

"Well, I'm the only one who has nothing to do at home. If I don't do anything, who else will do it? Isn't this a bear?"

Wang Minfu said with a smile: "Haha, my eldest brother and sister-in-law should leave this matter to you. You must have learned a lot after living outside for so many years. What kind of house do you want to build? Is there anything you still need?"

Xu Ning said: "Uncle, don't praise me, I'm easy on the eyes."

"Haha..." Everyone burst into laughter.

He continued: "There should be nothing missing now. My dad has been pulling wood a lot over the years. It should be enough to make beams and furniture. The furniture and other items have been given to my father-in-law. The bricks and tiles are from my eldest brother's uncle." Please help me get in touch. As for what I’m missing, I’m missing more than two hundred meters of wires..."

Wang Minfu clapped his hands when he heard this and said: "This is easy to handle! Er Ning, do you think the wires have been used? If you don't think so, the grain station should replace a batch of aluminum wires in a while. I will talk to the leader then." Say hello, how about buying it for less money?”

Wang Shujuan asked: "Dad, can this happen?"

"Why can't it be done? When did your dad do anything about splitting? This year, the grain station will install a high-power grain grinding machine. The aluminum wires are prone to bursting, so the grain station is thinking of replacing copper wires..."

People depend on food. Food is an important material these days. Naturally, it must be strictly controlled and private trading is not allowed. Since the land is state-owned, the food grown on the land is also state-owned. After it is handed over, it will be distributed and sold in a unified manner. This sales model is called Unified purchasing and marketing.

Grain stations are at the end of centralized purchasing and marketing, just like private grain and oil stores opened twenty years later, they are all retail.

In 1984, because Nanfang Shenzhen Market opened up the grain supply first and published it in newspapers, there was a small movement at the end of last year, and the grain station smelled something was wrong.

If the food supply is liberalized across the country, will grain stations still be popular?
In fact, as early as after the reform and opening up, grain stations had a sense of crisis. Some grain stations were already purchasing grain grinding machines and other equipment, and wanted to try selling processed foods, such as multi-grain cakes, scones, large steamed buns, steamed cakes, etc...

These things were indeed sold at the grain station a few years later.

But when the streets are full of self-employed people, how can the things processed by machines be as delicious as those processed by bare hands?
Therefore, the grain station finally withdrew from the stage of history...

Wang Minfu said: "The aluminum wire was replaced last summer. The remaining two bundles of more than 50 meters are kept in the warehouse. Plus the replacement of more than 100 meters is enough."

Xu Ning's eyes lit up and she said, "Uncle! Then ask me, if there is such a good thing, why spend more money."

"Okay! I'll go to work tomorrow." Wang Minfu agreed.

He is living a very relaxed life now, just like his life after retirement. If he wants to go to work, he will go to work. If he doesn't want to go, he will stay at home and lie down. When spring comes, he will plant fields and clean up the garden. He and Guo Hongxia still have a companion. My little life was quite pleasant, what was missing? Missing a daughter-in-law and grandchildren!
Wang Minfu was very anxious, because he had to wait for Wang Yuanjun to get married and give birth to a child. Now he placed all his hopes on Xu Long and Wang Shujuan. What would happen to his grandson? Isn’t that also a grandson?

Wang Minfu and Guo Hongxia are not the kind of people who only treat their grandchildren well and neglect their grandchildren. There is definitely nothing wrong with their character!
Before leaving, Xu Long, Wang Shujuan, Li Fuqiang, and Wang Hu had already reached the courtyard. Xu Ning was coming out of the hut and happened to meet Guo Hongxia carrying two bags of rice. "Er Ning, take these two bags of yellow rice away and save them for making rice dumplings during the May Festival."

Xu Ning was polite and called Wang Hu back. After Wang Hu threw the two bags of rice into the trunk of the jeep and Xu Ning was about to get in the car, he said, "Auntie, I'll come back when I have time."

"Yeah! You can come anytime. Your uncle usually has nothing to do, so he will bring it to you brothers. Then my aunt will prepare some delicious food for you."

"Okay!"

Xu Long got into the driver's seat, left the door open, and said, "Mom and Dad, you two, please go into the house quickly."

Wang Minfu nodded and leaned over, whispering: "You two, work harder, I don't know when Xiaojun will get married."

When the co-pilot Wang Shujuan heard this, she stared at her father and said, "Hey, Dad, what are you talking about? Just go inside now."

Wang Minfu laughed twice and waved: "Haha, okay, let's go."

The jeep buzzed, and Xu Long stepped on the accelerator and drove away. After the jeep was out of sight, Guo Hongxia grabbed Wang Minfu's arm and walked into the courtyard.

She seemed a little excited because she heard the news that Xu Long was going to the city. Even an elder couldn't bear this kind of thing. She felt happy just thinking about it.

"Hey, do you think it's safe for Dalong to be transferred to the city this time?"

Wang Minfu opened the door, walked into the outhouse, and said in a low voice: "There is no need to ask, I think it is almost the same, it should be safe. But this matter cannot be made public, not even to Xiaojun or Xingmin, etc." I’ll make a quick trip as soon as I decide what to do.”

After all, Guo Hongxia is also the daughter-in-law of the small leader of the grain station. How could she not understand these things and nodded: "Do I still need your instructions? I usually take the lead in everything at home. I shed tears whenever I say something to you."

Wang Minfu said unhappily: "When did I shed tears? That's nonsense!"

"Juan'er and Dalong came home years ago. Didn't you shed any tears?"

"Oh my God, that happened a while ago. Did I shed tears this time?"

Guo Hongxia curled her lips and said, "Well, you are the strongest person! Hey, the leader of Dalong is Er Ning. Do you have to tell my younger brother?"

Wang Minfu shook his head: "No, they will drive to Xingmin's house first. He will understand when his siblings tell him when he gets home."

Guo Hongxia said with a smile: "Er Ning is doing things safely."

"He must have thought about this matter." Wang Minfu lowered his head and said, "Dalong told me that when he saw that the leader was his third uncle Qian'er, he was completely confused, but Erning was smiling next to him and asked Only then did I realize that it was Er Ning who drove him to the forest farm for the leader. "

Guo Hongxia poured a glass of water, "Dalong went to the city to drive for the leader, and it was Erning who helped him get there."

"That's right! This Er Ning is really talented. He can strike up a conversation with anyone. He's more promising than our little army."

"Our little army is not bad at all, he's just a bit clumsy! But the more I look at Er Ning, the more curious I am about it. If I want to have another little girl, I will definitely give it to him."

Wang Minfu curled his lips and waved his hands: "Oh my god, hurry up and pull him down! He does one thing before and another after another. Then Er Ning usually doesn't learn from Qian'er well. Why didn't you say this?"

Guo Hongxia rolled her eyes, "It's annoying! I just said that, why are you always looking for trouble? You should have some frozen pears at noon!"

"Hey, can you eat enough frozen pears? You fry some bear meat for me, and I'll drink two cups."

"This guy gave you a blowjob, didn't he wait until Xiaojun came back in the evening?"

"What are you waiting for him to do? I'll satisfy my craving first, and I'll fix it when he comes back in the evening. What about the old meat?"

"I know! Add some fire to the stove."

Near noon, the heat in the outhouse of Old Xu's house was rising. There were bear meat and jackal meat in two large pots. Yang Shuhua also cut out a lot of fat and lean bear meat for cooking, and the remaining bear oil was boiled into oil by Liu Lizhen. .

Although Guan Lei was left at home and Xu Ning asked him to do some work, Liu Lizhen didn't let him do any work, so she let him lie down in the room. If he got tired from the journey, he would sit in a different position. Move, he, Wang Biao and Liu Tianen studied it and went out to grab some firewood. They didn't expect Liu Daming and Wu Qiuxia to come in.

As soon as they entered the door, they shouted, "There are two dead sheep in the old forest to the south. They seemed to have been taken out by some animals. It was the old leopard that couldn't be prepared. When Liu Lizhen heard this, she directly stopped Guan Lei and the other three and asked them to stay at home. I don't want to go anywhere.

Liu Daming heard that Guan Lei said that it was boring to be idle, so he dragged the three of him to chop firewood in the yard. Guan Lei worked very neatly, and he chopped firewood in just a moment. Wang Biao teased Guan Lei, saying that he and Qiang Just like me, I practiced the ax technique in my dreams!
The jeep slowly stopped at the door. Xu Ning and others got out of the car. After entering the courtyard, Liu Daming talked about two dead sheep in the old forest.

"Uncle, whose sheep was poached by livestock?"

Liu Daming said: "Old Fang's family in Taiping Village specializes in raising sheep..."

Li Fuqiang handed his uncle a cigarette and said, "There are no green leaves in the old forest. Why are we herding sheep there?"

"They were not let out, they were picked up from the sheepfold and dragged into the old forest to eat!"

"Ah! Is anyone looking at the animal?"

Liu Daming shook his head: "Then who dares to take a look? Someone in Taiping who knows how to spot it took a look and said it was a tabby cat. I originally wanted to take a look, but your uncle had to drag me home."

"You can't be prepared. The mountains were closed by heavy snow a few days ago. The animals in the mountains can't get out, and the animals outside the mountains can't get in. The animals wandering around the mountains have to go into the villages to find food."

After Xu Ning finished speaking, he asked again: "The dogs in Taiping Tun are not barking?"

A few people walked into the east room while chatting. Liu Daming sat down on the edge of the kang, took a puff of cigarette, and said: "What's the use of shouting? Who dares to go out in the middle of the night when it's pitch black?"

"Yes, it's the time to fall asleep."

Liu Daming said: "Your aunt and I were about to walk back when we heard a loudspeaker shouting at the entrance of the village."

"What are you shouting for?"

"Just a few days ago, he told everyone in the village to be more careful, saying that there was an old leopard in the woods to the south. At that time, no one in the village believed it. I asked a group of people if they believed it this time."

Li Fuqiang tilted his head and said, "Didn't that loudspeaker offend the whole village, especially the old Fang family?"

Xu Ning shook his head and waved his hands: "No, everyone in Taipingtun knows what Da Xiaoxiao's mouth looks like. How can we argue with him about this matter, unless we are really petty."

Wang Hu asked: "Second brother, this old leopard is starting to cause trouble to the village. Why don't we kill it?"

Immediately, several people in the room turned to look at Xu Ning.
