Return to 1983 Hunting Xing'an Mountains

Chapter 306 Three telephone speakers announce the news

As the saying goes, wealth should not be revealed in vain, and wealth should not be revealed in appearance.

Even though Xu Ning felt that he was doing well and did not squander or show off after earning money, in fact many people were staring at his family.

Life is like this, everyone is comparing their lives with each other. When they see whose family is doing well, they want to do better. If they really can't compare, they just say a few words about themselves. Although they don't have pink eye, they are full of envy and jealousy.

In the evening, when Xu Laowen came back, everyone sat around the table and chatted about the old leopard in the old forest in the south. After a day of fermentation, Xu Ning had already found out and learned that Da Xiaoxiao, Li Mazi, Lan Guodong and others had teamed up to form a temporary hunting gang. After that, Xu Ning grinned.

He knew very well that this temporary hunting gang would not go far. Even if they got along well without conflict, they would get tired of each other over time. The reason was similar to what Big Horn analyzed.

This time Xu Laowen did not recruit Xu Ning to fight the old leopard. After all, he was his own son. How could he not understand his own son's inner thoughts? When he saw Xu Ning's wilted smile, Xu Laowang felt reassured. He decided that he had to do some ideological work for his dear Jane tonight, and he could not let Jane stop his child from making money...

But Xu Laowen never expected that Xu Ning would actually drive Guan Lei and Li Fuqiang to work. Once these two people left, only Wang Hu and himself were left. How could they compete with Lao Baozi?

Therefore, before Li Fuqiang and others left, Xu Laowen quietly came up to his son and whispered softly: "Our family is not short of money to build a house, but the old leopard skin is quite valuable... You said you let Qiangzi , Leizi has gone to work in the forest farm, can you and Huzi figure out the old leopard?"

Xu Ning turned to look at his biological father and said with a smile, "I don't want to hit the old leopard either."

Xu Laowen grinned and said hopelessly: "Yes, yes!"

Liu Lizhen rolled her eyes and curled her lips: "It's not for you, it's for Lei Zi."

Wang Erli turned around and asked: "All the ropes at home are damaged? What are you doing? Don't you have ropes to pull animals?"

"Hurry up! Leizi, put this cotton monkey suit inside tomorrow. It's time to cool down."

Xu Ning said: "That's because the hemp rope is not strong."

Seeing that her expression was as usual, he whispered: "Jane, I really didn't recruit him to hunt the leopard. That's your son. How can you not understand him?"

Then I heard Xu Ning shout loudly: "Mom! Mom! My dad gathered me to fight the old leopard!!"

Xu Ning hurriedly followed behind everyone, catching up with Li Fuqiang and Wang Erli who were walking to the courtyard, and said: "Second uncle, eldest brother, I will go to the forest farm tomorrow. If you see a nylon rope as thick as your little finger, bring it home..."

At this time Wang Biao ran into the house and shouted: "Second brother! I have your phone number! The caller from the provincial capital said his name is Xu He."

Xu Feng twisted her whole body and said, "Hey, we were just playing for a while..."

Xu Laowen's face was full of grievance, and his voice was as thin as a mosquito: "I didn't move around... Jane, I really didn't!"

Guan Lei took the unworn cotton monkey and nodded with a smile: "Okay, aunt. You don't have to prepare a meal for me tomorrow morning. I'll go to Brother Qiang's house to eat. Then I'll go with him."

At around nine o'clock, Xu Ning was sitting on the kang in the east room, his arms resting on the kang table, and his hands playing with the barrel of the gun. Opposite him was Wang Hu, who took a sip of tea and lit oil on the gun parts.

Liu Lizhen snorted coldly: "You are all from the same rank, don't blame anyone else!"

Liu Lizhen gritted her teeth and groaned in anger, then turned around and went to the outhouse.

After breakfast at Lao Xu's house, and after Xu Laowen and Wang Erli left, Liu Lizhen, Wang Shujuan and Han Fengjiao went to Liu Daming's house. Wu Qiuxia said yesterday that there were two jars of mustard dumplings and mustard cherry seeds at home. If they don't eat them quickly, it will be spring.

The next day, Guan Lei got up early and left carrying two pieces of bear meat placed on the pot table. This meat was for Lao Lin. Li Fuqiang forgot to take it when he left last night, so he happened to deliver it to him.

Xu Feng's eyes lit up, she raised her hand and said, "Mom, I'm always obedient."

After saying that, my mother took Xu Feng's neck collar and returned to the east room. When she opened the door curtain, she saw Xu Ning standing on the edge of the kang. Hello, old son!”

"Brother Lei is here washing his feet. Why are you so annoying? Go back and cover yourself with the quilt."

Xu Ning suddenly realized that his mother walked into the west room and happened to see Guan Lei sitting on the edge of the kang soaking his feet. Xu Feng was sitting on the edge and playing with the flower rope with him.

Everyone in the room saw Xu Lao's wilted and resentful expression, and they all grinned silently. Under the leadership of Wang Erli, everyone got up and rushed to the outer room, leading their wives and children home.

"what."

"Are you giving me money again?" Liu Lizhen pointed at Xu Ning with a straight face and said, "Why do you think you keep teasing him? After you tease him, you still have to give him money."

Liu Lizhen was too lazy to look at them and just urged Xu Feng to get on the kang and cover herself with quilt. Seeing that her father's mood had stabilized, Xu Ning turned around and went back to the house to wash his feet and go to sleep.

As for how to pickle it, I won’t go into details.

Xu Ning turned around and walked into the outhouse, and happened to see Liu Lizhen walking towards the west room with the cotton monkey. Xu Ning smiled and said, "Mom, I just changed the one before me, so I don't have to change it so frequently."

"Then I will go to the warehouse to get two bundles tomorrow, so don't let your brother take it. The transportation team has a number of ropes." Wang Erli said: "Qiangzi, come to me tomorrow when you have time, and give the rope directly to me when the time comes. Throw it in the car, otherwise it will be badly affected by others.”

Xu Ning said with a smile: "If I don't tease him, where will he get the money, right? Dad."

While covering the quilt, Liu Lizhen asked: "How much money have you saved?"

"Okay." Li Fuqiang didn't ask the reason at all. After receiving the answer, he led his wife and children away.

"What?" Xu Laowen was stunned.

"Xu Laowang! Let me tell you! If you dare to get close to my son, I will beat you to death!"

"It's not that good. Are you grinding stone into a fine thing? It will make people hate your teeth."

Xu Lao hesitated for a moment and said incoherently: "I haven't saved much."

Liu Lizhen, who was washing dishes outside the house, heard this and ran into the house with a strong step. She ran over with a bull's eye, grabbed Xu Laowen's arm and kicked her in the butt twice.

So my mother and others went over to pack the pickles. The mustard cherry seeds are also called potherb mustard. The lumps are cut into shreds and are very delicious when eaten with big rice dumplings. The potherb is stewed with tofu. The soup is delicious and salty and suitable for rice.

After breakfast at Li Fuqiang's house, we went to Tunxikou and got into Lao Lin's car. When Lao Lin saw the two pieces of bear meat, he immediately beamed and said that Brother Guan Lei must be sent to No. 17 Lengchang, and asked Li Fuqiang to give it to him. He talks about bear hunting in the mountains...

Liu Lizhen nodded: "I know, your sister-in-law told me."

"What are you doing?"

"Just live, the longer you live, the more you return to the vortex!"

When Xu Ning heard this, he moved to the edge of the kang and asked, "Why did you go to Tunbu?"

"Well, we were playing over there, and we happened to see Uncle Du."

Xu Ningzhu pulled on his shoes and said, "Huzi, look after the house. Don't assemble the cleaned parts yet. Leave them outside to dry for a while."

"Got it."

Immediately, Xu Ning and Wang Biao walked towards the Tuenbu. In the open space next to the Tuenbu, they saw Jiang Qiuer, Huang Xiaomei, and Liu Tianen playing rubber bands. Xu Ning smiled and waved to Wang Biao to play, and he stepped over. Arrive at Tunbu.

As soon as he entered the room, Du Shoucai repeated what he said, "If you get a call from the pharmaceutical factory in the provincial capital, just call back."

"Okay." Xu Ning picked up the phone and dialed a few numbers. After changing the line, the other party got through.

Xu He exchanged pleasantries with him and said bluntly: "We found the deer fetus. I'll have it delivered to the supply and marketing cooperative in Qing'an Street. It should be there tomorrow. There are also twenty kilograms of red sausage."

Xu Ning said with a smile: "Okay, thanks Brother Hahe, how much is the total?" "What kind of politeness is this? It's not money, that's it."

"Okay, I won't be polite to you anymore. How about my uncle and aunt staying in the provincial capital?"

"Very good! Hey, I stayed here for half a month and went to your sister He's house. We spent the Chinese New Year together. It was quite lively. My father-in-law and your sister He's parents-in-law were very happy. This old man also received I followed my father-in-law to go fishing in the Songhua River, and these two old men had a great time..."

"Hahaha, as long as my uncle can adapt to the provincial capital..."

The two of them chatted on the phone about their daily life. After putting down the phone, Xu Ning called the supply and marketing cooperative in the street. When Lao Qian answered the call, he heard that Xu Ning was very happy. Hearing that something had been delivered to him, he didn't say anything. He said that he would be sent to Qing'an.

"Hey, you're quite busy too, so don't bother. That's all. I'll tell my brother and I'll bring it back when he has time to come back."

"That's fine. When will you come to the street again?"

Xu Ning said: "I must go before spring. My family has to build a house..."

"Yeah, I'm still thinking of telling you about terrazzo, so I'll do it when you get here."

After putting down the phone, Xu Ning made another call to the city's Forestry Bureau. This call was to the duty room, and Xu Long happened to be chatting with a group of people in the duty room. Xu Long, who received the call, asked urgently: " What happened at home?"

"There is nothing going on at home. Before you come back, go to the supply and marketing cooperative on the street to find old money. He is my buddy. Brother He brought a deer fetus and twenty pounds of red sausage from the provincial capital. He will arrive tomorrow. You can bring it back when the time comes.”

"Ah, that's it, is there really nothing else?"

"No."

"Then give it up."

Xu Long put down the phone, and Lao Han, who was on duty, laughed and said, "Dalong, who is your little brother?"

"Yeah, I'm wondering what happened. Just ask me to bring something home, or just give me a phone call..."

On the side, a man in his thirties laughed and said, "If I don't call you, you won't know the letter."

"Haha, that's not good."

Old Han said: "Your little brother is very good at hunting, why didn't he go to the forest farm to be a ranger?"

Xu Long replied nonchalantly: "How can I have a place?"

Old Han glanced at Xu Long and said with a smile: "It's almost done. I heard there will be a meeting in the building next week to study this matter."

Others asked: "What's going on?"

"The Secretariat has made statistics on the safety situation of several forest farms below our city in the past two years. It is said that many people have been killed by livestock in just two years. Every year, many crop fields are destroyed, and the output is directly reduced by half..."

Xu Long dispersed a circle of cigarettes to the people in the duty room, glanced at his watch and said, "Ah, you guys chat, I have to go and warm up the car."

After Xu Long left, one person said: "This big dragon has a very strict mouth."

Lao Han lit the Spring Festival cigarette and said, "Can you drive for Director Yang if you don't speak strictly?"

"But it's not that good. The relationship is quite strong. Isn't it necessary to transfer over in another two months?"

Old Han shook his head: "It will take the next half year."

"That's right, Director Yang will do things as slowly as possible and as fast as possible. Look at the people who are busy with Director Sun these days..."

In Qing'an Village, Xu Ning put down the phone. He and Xu Long were brothers, and they usually only talked in a few words at home, let alone chatting about home affairs on the phone.

Xu Ning had a chat with Du Shoucai in the village, and took two boxes of 56 and a half bullets with him. When passing by the open space, Wang Biao and Liu Tianen were no longer seen jumping rubber bands.

As soon as he entered the door, he heard Wang Biao whining and making noise.

"Oh my god! What a beast is Chang Beifeng? He wants to wipe it all over his body? Hahaha..."

Xu Ning opened the door curtain and entered the house, and saw Huang Lin, Huang Daxiao's son, sitting on the edge of the Kang. Xu Ning stood up a little embarrassed and said hello: "Uncle Xu..."

Xu Ning smiled and nodded: "Say, there's nothing wrong with my second uncle. Sit down."

He pressed Huang Lin's shoulders and asked him to sit down, and asked, "What's going on with Chang Beifeng? Why are you wiping it all over Dad?"

Wang Hu covered his mouth and smiled: "Second brother, listen to Huang'er tell you, it's so interesting."

Huang Lin smiled shyly and said, "Second uncle, that's what happened..."

Then he recounted what happened yesterday. Huang Lin was worthy of being the son of Big Trumpet. He had a talent for telling stories and told them very vividly, making people laugh.

After everyone started to smile and froze, Liu Tianen said, "This old Fang family is so picky that they only fill half the pot when they invite people to eat? They don't even let people drink. How can you do things like this?"

Wang Biao said: "Chang Beifeng is the most interesting one. He only needs to kiss a leopard if he touches his face. He just slaps the leopard in the face. Oh my god, now my head is full of pictures!"

Xu Ning smiled and asked, "Your dad went there again this morning?"

"Yeah, I left at about seven o'clock in the morning. I went to meet at the door of Lao Fang's house. I saw that the eldest grandson of Lao Fang's family also went there. I guess I won't be able to come back at noon."

Xu Ning said: "I shouldn't be able to come back at noon. Did your dad bring food?"

"Bring it! In the morning, my mother got up early to make it fresh. It was almost eight o'clock when my father got home last night. When my mother heard that he hadn't eaten, she scolded my father again and later fired him. egg."

Xu Ning said with a smile: "We are a couple. They quarrel with each other verbally, but they pretend to be each other in their hearts."

Huang Lin was no longer as cautious as before and said, "Yeah, my dad told me the same thing."

After chatting for a long time, it was already noon, and Liu Lizhen, Wang Shujuan, and Han Fengjiao came back with two pots of steamed buns and potherb stewed tofu.

Seeing this, Huang Lin got up and went to the outer room and said hello: "Nai Liu, Nai Han, aunt..."

Liu Lizhen was a little confused when she saw him, because she had never seen him before. Xu Ning said with a smile: "Taiping Huang Guoxing, my elder brother Huang's son, Huang Lin, is a classmate of Biao Tianen."

"Oh my god! This is the first time this child has entered the house."

Isn't this his first time? Huang Lin usually comes to play with Wang Biao and Liu Tianen, but he never enters the house. He just hangs around in the village or on the edge of the mountain. Why?
It was still a matter of tutoring. The loudspeaker taught him not to stay at other people's houses during meals, because few families these days are as wealthy as the old Xu family, and most of them live a tight life.

If you sit in the house during the meal, will they keep you or not? Although it is said that this stuttering is not bad, but you must not whisper behind your back.

Wang Shujuan smiled and said, "This is the first time I've seen him. Huang'er, come in quickly. We'll put the table down and eat."

Huang Lin waved his hand quickly and was about to walk out the door, "No more, auntie. My mother is also cooking at home..."

Liu Lizhen stopped him and said, "Your mother can eat it by herself after she's finished cooking. You can eat it here. These are older buns!"

"I'm sorry, Liu Nai, I'm going back too late. It's time for my mother to tell me something."
