Return to 1983 Hunting Xing'an Mountains

Chapter 318: Look after the father for the first thirty years, and look after the son for the next thirty years

After the sunset, the sky becomes completely dark.

At 6:03, Xu Feng climbed over the wall and arrived at Lao Wang's house. She stretched out her hand against the wall and touched the light cord and pulled it down. The house lit up with a warm yellow light.

She looked at Xu Ning and Li Fuqiang lying on the kang in the east room, climbed up on the kang humbly, and pinched Xu Ning's nose with her index finger and thumb.

After two breaths, Xu Ning was awakened from the suffocation. He took a big breath first. When he opened his eyes and saw that it was Xu Feng, he reached out and grabbed him with gritted teeth. He sat up and laid Xu Feng flat on his lap. He raised his palm to shine. He patted his buttocks twice.

Xu Ning definitely wouldn't slap her hard with her dead hand. She just wanted to give a warning with big movements but little strength. However, Xu Feng was a troublemaker with loud thunder and small raindrops. With her usual tricks, she didn't even wait for the slap to hit. As for her, she immediately screamed and begged for mercy!
"Hey, second brother! I was wrong! I don't dare to do it anymore! It hurts! It hurts all the time!"

Xu Feng's cries woke up Li Fuqiang who was standing next to him. He opened his eyes and saw the brother and sister fighting. Because the yellow light bulb was a bit dazzling, he rubbed his eyes and said, "What's going on, brother? What are you fooling around with Feng'er?"

Xu Ning said angrily: "This little girl pinched my nose. I was so scared that I didn't choke to death. You can tell me how bad she is."

"Hahaha!" Li Fuqiang laughed first and then said: "Feng is joking with you, please let her go."

"Well, second brother, I'm joking with you! Mom, let me come over and call you to eat. Wash your faces quickly. I'll go to the outhouse to get you water. I still have to call Brother Tiger and Brother Lei. "

Xu Feng said: "My sister-in-law made sticky bean buns! There are also sauerkraut and cabbage... Yes, my eldest brother went to the street and came back with twenty kilograms of red sausage, two kilograms of white rabbit toffee, and many other things... "

Xu Laowen knew he was in the wrong, but he said stubbornly: "That's how it should be! The first thirty years were spent looking after the father, and the next thirty years were spent looking after the son. I can scold my son myself, but let others scold me?"

Xu Long said: "Dad went with me, and I bumped into your buddy as soon as we entered the supply and marketing cooperative. He was about to get off work. If we arrived two minutes later, he would have left.

In the east room, Xu Laowen, Liu Daming and others were tasting wine. When they saw Xu Ning lifting the curtain and entering the room, he said with some ecstasy, "We didn't use our chopsticks first."

Xu Laowen turned around and said: "This is one of them. The main thing is to report on the work. Your Uncle Guo has done a lot of practical things over the years. Except for those old men in the forest farm, everyone in the forest farm praises him."

Liu Lizhen sat on the kang and said: "I have been saying all day long that I can't borrow the little little calf, but this time I can borrow it! What do you say?"

"Brother, you wash off first."

Guo Xingmin was holding a breath in his stomach. Ever since he found out that Yang Yusheng had some relationship with the old Xu family, he was very motivated. He and Zhang Deyu stayed together for several days and wrote about 4,000 to 5,000 words of planning proposals and initiatives... ...and so on, there are four articles in total, some of which are practical and some are parallel imports.

"He didn't come. Dad asked him to come over for dinner and asked his eldest brother to send him back. He has to go home. Are you afraid that Uncle Guo will wait at home in a hurry?"

Xu Feng bared her teeth, opened the door curtain and said, "It's not a long time since I got back, so I can relax a bit. Second brother, wash your face quickly. The water is just right!"

"What's going on?"

Xu Ning held out the sticky bean bun with his chopsticks and asked, "What did you and I, Uncle Guo, do in the city? Study Lengchang?"

"When he revealed his true feelings, the superiors felt distressed and decided to allocate some equipment to our forest farm... Later, your uncle Guo went to your third uncle's office. I don't know exactly what he chatted about. I didn't ask him before he came back, but I I think it should be guaranteed.”

In addition to red sausage and deer fetus, your buddy also gave me two pounds of White Rabbit toffee, and also gave Dad a Spring Festival..."

Xu Feng didn't dare to challenge her second brother. She lowered her head and muttered in a low voice: "You didn't ask, so I won't tell you what you asked."

Xu Laowen said: "Your Uncle Guo burst into tears during the meeting. No, Director Yang said it was because of his true feelings..."

Xu Long answered: "Uncle Guo's mouth was almost brimming with laughter before he came back. The guy couldn't help laughing. He grinned after just two puffs of cigarette. In the end, he couldn't help but choked himself."

Xu Ning moved down to the ground, pulled on his shoes and said, "How long ago did he come back?"

Xu Ning nodded, and after Li Fuqiang and Guan Lei washed their faces, the five of them climbed over the wall and returned to Lao Xu's house.

Xu Feng turned around and replied: "Well, where is my brother Lei?"

Xu Laowen squinted and said, "Who dares to use chopsticks if you don't come to the table? Let's start cooking quickly. I'm almost starving."

Xu Ning patted her butt and said, "Well, what kind of food are you planning on doing?"

Wang Hu rubbed his hands with Xu Ning's face wash, and Xu Feng stepped forward, "Brother Hu, I'll wash it again."

"Hahaha!" Everyone laughed.

At this time, Wang Hu opened the door curtain of the west room and asked, "Brother is back?"

The practical information is how to plan and manage forest areas, how to distribute the areas, etc. The parallel imports are just crying for poverty! As the saying goes, children who cry are fed by milk. If you don't cry and complain to your superiors, you deserve to be bullied!

"No, wait until I finish washing you and then spank Brother Qiang."

Wang Erli put down his wine glass, "Brother, what do you want me to do? Didn't we agree last time not to compare things with my daughter in the future? Why do you still bring it up?"

"I'm putting my clothes on in the house. Second brother, hurry up and wash them. I have to take my time..."

Xu Ning was stunned when he heard this, and then sighed: "Feng, can you pick up the important chatter from now on? Listen to what you say, it's confusing, then you can just say that Dad and Uncle Guo went to the city. , My elder brother drove me back. I happened to go to the supply and marketing cooperative on the street and got back a lot of things!"

In the past, there was no one to support Qing'an, so they had to work more and eat less. Compared with the Sandaohe Forest Area, it was like a sky and a place. The equipment and facilities in the Sandaohe Forest Area were quite complete. Looking at the Qing'an Dogs None of them...

Liu Lizhen pouted: "As soon as I ask you, you are doing this, you don't rely on yourself at all!"

"What am I going to do on my own? My father and my son are promising, so why should I work hard? Besides, our two sons and one daughter can straighten their backs wherever they go. No one should say that we have a happy family with both children!"

Xu Ning turned around and asked, "Then why isn't Uncle Guo here?"

Xu Ning was not polite. They put their hands into the basin and rubbed their faces with soap. Then they took the hand towel from Xu Feng and wiped their faces while asking: "Why are you eating so late today?"

"What's wrong with you Gada?"

Li Fuqiang waved his hand and walked outside with his clothes on, "You wash it, I have to go out."

Xu Feng stood nearby and said, "Dad and Uncle Guo went to the city and came back with my elder brother..."

Xu Ning sat down and asked, "Why don't you move your chopsticks? What are you waiting for us to do?"

In the outer room, Wang Shujuan and Xu Long had their hands clasped together, and the paper was as gluey as paint. However, there was a bit of movement when Xu Ning and others entered the room, so they suddenly separated and walked towards the east room together.

"Haha! That should be what happened. Where did you go on the street? What did you get?"

"Hahaha..." Everyone in the room laughed.

Xu Ning ate two sticky bean buns and two bowls of rice, then put down his chopsticks, stood up and saw a cloth bag placed on the counter. He walked over and took a look. It turned out to be beans, eggplants, and four persimmons.

"Where can I put the food?"

Xu Long turned around and glanced at it and said, "Brother Liguo brought it to me. I looked at him when I sent Uncle San to the restaurant on the street a few days ago. He brought it to me from the kitchen."

Li Fuqiang raised his head and glanced, but did not ask him why he sent his third uncle to the restaurant on the street. There was no need to ask. Anyone with some brains would know that it must be Yang Yusheng who came to Qing'an for a stroll, and several leaders in Qing'an knew about it. Yes, so I invite Yang Yusheng to a restaurant for a meal, or chat and study things while eating.

"These vegetables haven't been frozen, they look quite fresh."

Xu Long said: "I had to, so when I got back to the dormitory, I threw it under the bed and covered it with a quilt. I went to the provincial capital last week, so I know what kind of vegetables are produced."

"Where to put it?" Liu Daming asked. "Just put it in the bungalow area of ​​the provincial capital. There is a big greenhouse there. I heard from my third uncle that it was the technology provided by Shengli Greenhouse. Then I sent it to the farmer's market on Toulong Street in Daoli. There are also people selling roast chicken in that market, and there are all kinds of them. There are all kinds of local products, everything is complete!”

Xu Laowen said: "It must have everything. After all, it is a provincial capital. How can we compare with this broken ravine?"

There is nothing wrong with this. As the saying goes, people go to higher places and water flows to lower places. No one wants to go to a better place. Living in a prosperous place makes you feel comfortable and it is convenient to do whatever you want.

So why are some people unwilling to leave? Mainly, it was the land under his feet that nurtured him. In that era when people were too poor to take the blame, the things growing in this land saved his life.

"Mom, later find a bag to put two red sausages in and some beans. I'll take them to Brother Huang."

Hearing this, Xu Laowen turned around and asked, "Why don't you get some bear meat?"

"Huang Lin took it when he came over that day. Did Biao and Tianen give it to him?"

Xu Laowen nodded: "Well, you guys don't go straight to other people's houses to eat. You can go there tomorrow noon, and then go home to eat. This old leopard doesn't know when he will come..."

"know."

Immediately, Liu Lizhen stood up and took two red sausages and two handfuls of beans in her cloth bag. The beans and potatoes were enough for two meals. These two things are very expensive nowadays, and most people cannot afford them, and even if they can afford them, they are reluctant to give them away.

When Xu Ning, Wang Hu, Guan Lei, and Li Fuqiang were about to leave, Xu Long chased them up, grabbed Li Fuqiang's arm, and whispered: "Brother Qiang, Third Uncle asked me to bring you a message."

Li Fuqiang was stunned and asked, "What are you talking about?"

"He said don't be anxious and do everything slowly."

Hearing this, Li Fuqiang smiled and said, "Why am I in a hurry? Tell my third uncle that I'm not in a hurry. It's fine now. If I were suddenly asked to do something else and not run into the mountains, I would still feel pricked in my heart."

Xu Long said: "Okay, then I will tell you the exact words?"

"Let's just say, I'm really not in a hurry. Look at your sister-in-law and I. We've gained several pounds in the past few months. Are our lives no better than before? I'm quite content."

Xu Long nodded: "Okay, you should be more careful."

Li Fuqiang nodded, turned around and chased the three of them, and spoke to Xu Ning on the way.

Xu Ning said: "Look, no matter what I say, my third uncle must have arranged it."

"Brother, I'm really not in a hurry, do you believe me?"

"Believe it! You are my eldest brother, how can I not believe you?"

Wang Hu asked: "Second brother, are you still in a hurry?"

"Bao! How can we make a lot of money just by running around in the mountains and hunting livestock? We also have to do some small business. Shitou, when you go back to Lengchang, don't just work alone. When you have nothing to do, chat with Yang Jun about how Lengchang is run. , how to organize it specifically, you can tell me the details..."

Guan Lei nodded: "Hey, I can't ask how much you can earn in a year, right?"

"Are you a tiger? Why are you asking this? It has nothing to do with how much money you make. Just remember this sentence. A business that makes money will always say it does not make money, or it is a business that only protects the capital in a year. A business that loses money. He will make a lot of money in a year, but he will cash out the losing trades. How many tiger whistles can cash out the profitable trades? He would rather find someone to manage it than throw away the money he got. "

Guan Lei was thoughtful, while Wang Hu and Li Fuqiang nodded.

"Then I kind of understand, brother."

The four of them entered Taiping Tun. Wang Hu looked at the cloth bag in his hand and asked, "Second brother, what should I do with these red sausages and beans? Should I send them over directly, or should we take them to Lao Fang's house?"

Xu Ning said: "Put it in a pile with the lunch box. Go to Lao Fang's house first and deliver it to me tomorrow. You should be more careful and don't let the beans get cold."

"Hey, I know."

At Lao Fang's house, the lights are on in the east room.

Lao Fang was sitting under the eaves, smoking a pipe and pot, and the old lady was chattering in the outer room about why Xu Ning hadn't come yet. Fang Daquan and his wife listened silently, while Fang Min was playing with the little lamb in the west room...

Xu Ning came in and shouted, Lao Fang stood up and waved hello, saying: "Xiao Xu, I'll put two thermoses in the room for you. There's hot water in them!"

"Eh!"

Lao Fang waved his hand, "Then you can fix it. I'm going to sleep in the house."

"Eh!"

After hearing Xu Ning's exclamations twice and showing no intention of chatting with him, Lao Fang turned around and entered the outhouse.

The old lady babbled: "What kind of person is this? I boiled two kettles of water for him and didn't even say thank you."

"How come you are so good at competition? You spend all your time doing this trivial competition. I think you are just trying to take advantage of me!"

The eldest daughter-in-law said: "Dad, isn't my mother worried too? If this leopard doesn't die, our family will not be able to rest for a day."

"You two go to sleep in the sheepfold and calm down when the old leopard comes."

Lao Fang entered the east room with a dark face. Why was he in a mood? Or because Xu Ning didn't talk to him, he waited under the eaves for half an hour just to chat with Xu Ning, but Xu Ning ignored him at all.

Going downstairs, Li Fuqiang and Guan Lei had already set up the stone roller mechanism on the roof. A rope fell along the eaves and was placed inside the door.

Wang Hu was adding firewood to the pit, while Xu Ning was checking the crossbar frame in the sheep pen. He said to Li Fuqiang: "Brother, you didn't move the crossbar just now, did you?"

"No."

Xu Ning frowned and said, "This horizontal bar seems to have been touched. Huzi, please bring a flashlight from your pocket."

"Eh!"

Wang Hu stood up and took out the flashlight from his pocket. After giving it to Xu Ning, Xu Ning turned on the flashlight and looked carefully at the position of the horizontal bar.

"Shitou, you go up on the ladder and pull the rope of the net bag."

Li Fuqiang held the ladder with both hands, and Guan Lei climbed up the ladder and pulled the rope. At first, the rope could be lifted up, but as the net bag shrank and closed, it could no longer be pulled.

Xu Ning patted her leg and said, "What a shame, luckily I checked it again, otherwise I would have made such a basic mistake again!"

Wang Hu was confused for a while and asked: "Second brother, what happened?"

Xu Ning stepped forward and kicked away the eucalyptus leaves and said: "Look, this nylon net is frozen by sheep urine! Oh my god, I just said I felt a little uncomfortable. I need to check it out, otherwise tonight If the old leopard really comes, he must be let go."

"Then what should we do now?"

Xu Ning said: "Re-paving, what else can be done! I must have locked all the sheep in the house into the sheepfold during the day, otherwise there wouldn't be so many sheep peeing..."
