Return to 1983 Hunting Xing'an Mountains

Chapter 336: The big family, the Sun family, comes to Xiao Xupao to buy things

1984 3 Month 27 Day.

The twenty-fifth day of the second lunar month.

Sandaohe Forest Area, Dahe Village, Lao Sun’s home.

There were nearly twenty people gathered in the east room of more than 40 square meters, and the kang, kang edge, and stools on the ground were all filled with people.

Most of the old women sat on the kang, while the men sat on the edge of the kang and on stools.

The Sun family is a large family in the Sandaohe forest area. Just counting Sun Jiye's generation, there are sixteen people including cousins, three of whom are brothers, and Sun Jiye is the third oldest.

The second brother, Sun Jiwei, was also injured by a brown bear. His brother was kicked and kicked by the brown bear while trying to protect him. The eldest brother is Sun Jishan, who is also the leader of the Sun family because he is the deputy director of the Municipal Forestry Bureau.

The next generation includes Sun Liansheng from the eldest family, Sun Lianjun and Sun Lianfang from the second family, and Sun Lianxu from the third family...

At this moment, Sun Jishan picked up the teacup to moisten his throat and said, "Since Liu'er is gone, we, the Sun family, have to take care of Zhuzi's affairs. Let Zhuzi go to the forest farm canteen to learn how to cook first."

"Brother, Zhuzi's family owns a boat." Sun Jiye reminded.

Sun Jishan waved his hand and said, "I can rent out the boat and get a guaranteed income. Working in the forest farm canteen will also provide a salary, which will also be a guarantee for the future."

Sun Jiwei, who was lying on the kang with a pale face and weak, said, "Then listen to your elder brother, Lianjun! You will go find your brother Zhuzi later. Lianfang will also go and give your sister-in-law Zhu two hundred yuan and tell her to let her know if there is anything wrong at home."

Sun Lianfang and Sun Lianjun, who were sitting on the stools, nodded and agreed.

Sun Jishan turned around and said, "If you are sick, go to the provincial capital for treatment. Didn't you ask a doctor to check your pulse?"

"I've been taking the medicine for a month, but it's not getting better."

Sun Jishan said, "Third brother, take your second brother to a big hospital in the provincial capital tomorrow. What disease can be cured in such a small place?"

Sun Jiye said, "Brother, didn't you tell me that we met a group of people in the mountains? The four of them killed at least eight jackals. I heard that jackals can cure fatigue."

When Sun Lianfang saw Sun Jishan take out a cigarette, she stood up, walked over, struck a match and lit it.

"Uncle, my dad's physique can't be tortured. If not, let my uncle go to that group of people to buy some jackal meat."

An old woman on the kang said, "Brother, his illness is not serious. He was fine before and could walk and jump. I guess he was just frightened by the black bear. If it doesn't work, find someone to calculate it."

Sun Jiwei frowned and said, "Don't talk nonsense, why are you so annoying?"

"I can't even speak? We're just having a meeting at home. What? Can I have the final say?"

The old woman was Sun Jiwei's wife. She tilted her head and said, "Brother, you always stay in the city, you must not know, this matter is really a bit complicated."

Sun Jishan didn't turn around, but just stared at Sun Jiye and said, "Then you should go tomorrow. Where are you from?"

"Qingan."

"Qing'an...what's your name?"

Sun Lianfang said, "Uncle, when we were on the mountain, they said their names were Ma Lianjiang and Ma Chunming, but we don't know the names of the other two."

"Ma? I've never heard of anyone with the surname Ma in Qing'an who is so good at hunting."

Sun Jiye said, "Brother, their surname should not be Ma. Given the situation at that time, they were a little scared and had a strong sense of defense. I can almost guess who it is."

"Who is it, uncle?"

Sun Lianfang was a little worried. Her father's physique had been like this for many years. He could usually walk by himself, but once he was frightened or caught a cold, he would easily become pale and feel weak and achy. Her father had taken a lot of medicine over the years, but he would still have an attack from time to time.

The last time Sun Jiwei and Liu went for a stroll in the mountains, their purpose was actually to exercise, but they never expected to encounter a brown bear.

Sun Jiye said: "Have you never heard of Qing'an Xiao Xu Pao?"

"Ah! Him?"

"Well, I could tell last time that he wasn't telling the truth, but there's no way to hide this. You can find out if you ask around."

Sun Jishan pinched his cigarette and said, "Xu...his family is related to Guo Xingmin from Qing'an Forest Farm, right? The new second-in-command in the bureau, his driver is also named Xu, Xu Long. They should be from the same family..."

"Uncle, do you know him?"

Sun Jishan shook his head: "I don't know him, but our Sandaohe Forest Farm was developed later, why do we have so many equipments? Lao San, you have to think about it if you want to go to Qing'an."

"Brother, I'm going to buy meat, not to celebrate the installation of the calf. Besides, if I don't name them, how can they know that I'm a member of Old Sun's family?"

Sun Jiwei said: "Don't go. I won't die from this disease. I will be able to walk in a few days."

"No, Dad, you have to listen to me. I will definitely buy the meat back! Otherwise, I can take Lian Jun with me and let my uncle stay at home."

"Come on, you're crazy, how can your mother be at ease?"

Sun Jiwei said, "This Qing'an Xiao Xu Pao is quite famous in this area. Third brother, do you think he is easy to get along with?"

"Very easy to get along with..."

Sun Lianfang pouted and said, "Uncle, is he easy to get along with? He lied to us that his name was Ma Lianjiang, and he was full of lies. He even shot my newly bought deerskin hat with a gun! You almost got shot in the head..."

Most people in the room had heard about this incident, except Sun Jishan, who had just returned from the city.

"He used a gun?"

Sun Jiye was quite reasonable and said, "Brother, in that situation, let alone the fact that he fired the gun, I would have to fire as well. A brown bear and eight jackals together would cost a lot of money."

Sun Jishan frowned and said, "You didn't suffer any loss, did you?"

"No, I was thinking that my second brother's health has always been bad. He has been taking herbal medicine for several years. If it doesn't work, I will try folk remedies. It's hard to find jackal meat now. If you miss this opportunity, you will never find it again."

Sun Jishan tilted his head and looked at his brother, nodding: "Give it a try, and you can go and come back quickly tomorrow."

"Uncle, I'll go with you!" said Sun Lianfang.

Sun Jiwei asked, "What are you going to do?"

"I'm going to take a walk. I won't stay at home for a month. Uncle... Is that okay?"

"Okay! Do you have money in your pocket? I'll give you some."

Sun Jishan reached into his pocket, pulled out a cowhide wallet, and pulled out two big unity notes from it. He handed them over and said with a smile, "Buy whatever you like to eat. Your deerskin hat is broken. Wait for me to buy you another one."

"Yeah, thank you, sir!"

Sun Jishan said with a smile: "Lianfang, you are not young anymore. Isn't it time to settle down and find a husband?"

Sun Lianfang paused after hearing this, feeling something strange in her heart, but she said coquettishly: "Hey, uncle, are you annoyed with me? I haven't stayed at home long enough, why are you chasing me away?"

"Don't bother me, I'm just thinking about you, don't you think it's good?"

"No." Sun Lianfang said with a pout.

When she reached out to take the money just now, her peers in the room, such as Sun Lianjun, Sun Liansheng, and Sun Lianxu, did not feel jealous or envious, because they had been living like this since childhood.

Because the Sun family only has this one daughter in this generation, the three brothers and cousins ​​all take good care of her. Sun Lianfang was cared for no matter which family she went to. Except for Sun Jiwei who would say a few words to her from time to time, no one else would say a word of objection, let alone take action.

Interestingly, when Sun Lianfang was in school, she had a conflict with a sixth-grade kid. Sun Lianfang yelled and called out more than 30 of her own family members...

Since Sun Lianfang said so, Sun Jishan did not continue to persuade him, but only arranged: "Lian Sheng and Lian Jun will go with you tomorrow, and when you two come back, go to the city machinery factory to get the hook."

"OK."

After several people responded, Sun Jishan waved his hand and let them go. All the people of the same generation stood up and left. The east room was immediately empty, but Sun Lianfang did not leave. She lay on the kang and played with Sun Jiwei's fingers, muttering: "I told you to call me, I told you to call me..."

Sun Jishan looked at the people in the room, put out his cigarette, and said, "You have earned the money you deserve these years. Our village is holding a religious ceremony in the spring. Can each of you contribute a little?"

"How much, brother? I just bought a tractor and I have less than two thousand dollars left. If you want to use it, take it all."

Sun Jiye said with a smile: "Jicheng bought this tractor years ago. You were not back then, and he wanted to show it off to you."

Sun Jishan smiled when he heard this: "He has been happy to show off since he was a child. Jicheng, it is our village that is practicing Taoism, it is not for me to use, you can pay any amount." "Then I will pay 500, okay, big brother?"

"Why not? Five hundred is a lot of money. The three of us will each pay five hundred."

"Oh, then I'll pay four hundred."

Sun Jishan nodded and looked at a middle-aged man with silver hair, "Brother Shi?"

"Same, but I have something to say."

"You say, Brother Shi."

"Two years ago, Da Liu took 200 yuan from me, but he never paid me back."

Sun Jishan smiled and said, "Okay, I'll make up for it, okay, brother Shi?"

"I'm not asking for money. I'm just saying this. If I don't say it out loud, I'll feel aggrieved."

"It's okay, Brother Shi, you can take the money later. Da Liu saved Jiwei's life, I can't just stand there and watch."

"I really don't want it. If I wanted it, I would have opened my mouth before he was alive."

"Ah, what do you mean? Let's just say it out loud."

"I'm old now, and I don't have many days left to live. I have four children, and each one is lazier than the other. If I die, I want you to help me divide the family property."

"..."

From this we can see Sun Jishan's status in the family. He is indeed the material to be the eldest brother. He manages the family in order and has harmonious interpersonal relationships. He really works together.

It is enough to show that this person is extremely capable and has a very high prestige.

The next day, six o'clock.

After dinner, several people from Old Sun's family who were going out got into the Dongfeng car.

Sun Lianfang wrapped in a quilt took up a large space, leaving Sun Liansheng and Sun Lianjun with only a tiny space, while Sun Jiye was driving.

As the day was getting light, Sun Lianfang was concentrating on thinking about something, sneering from time to time.

The two brothers found the laughter a bit strange, but Sun Jiye understood something.

"Lianfang, if you feel sleepy, take a nap. You will be there when you wake up."

"I don't! Uncle, do you think it's easy to find this little Xu Pao?"

"It's easy to find! Didn't he say he was in Qing'an? Let's go directly to Qing'an and ask around. We'll find out. He's famous and there must be a lot of people who know him."

"Tsk, I don't think he's a good guy, he's a liar. His brothers aren't good guys either, they pointed guns at me..."

Sun Lianjun said, "Third sister, under the circumstances at that time, my uncle also said that anyone would have to hold the gun. This little Xu Pao's shooting skills are quite accurate. He must have some skills, otherwise how dare he shoot at the head?"

"Just shut up! You're everywhere."

Sun Jiye said, "Don't cause any trouble when you go back to Qing'an. I just found out from your uncle that the Xu family and Guo Xingmin are in-laws. Now the Xu family's eldest son works as a driver for the second-in-command in the city. We don't know the exact relationship, so be careful."

"I know, uncle."

Sun Liansheng took out the trough cake and handed it over, "Lianfang, have some. There's also orange soda."

"Okay, big brother! If uncle can't eat, I'll feed you."

Before Sun Jiye could say anything, Sun Lianfang handed the trough cake to his mouth. Sun Jiye took a bite with great enjoyment, "Well, not bad, but a little choking."

"Hey, there's still soda! Drink it quickly."

"..."

The four of them drove along the way and arrived at Qing'antun.

After driving into Tundongkou, Sun Jiye glanced at his watch. It was 9:42.

It took 3.040 minutes to drive from Sandaohe to Qing'an, which is actually not a slow speed. When there were no cars on the road, Sun Jiye would step on the accelerator to the bottom.

"Sheng, go and ask around."

"Eh."

Sun Liansheng opened the car door and jumped out. He glanced around the street to see that there was no one, so he walked towards a house. Standing outside the gate and looking inside, he happened to see an old man walking out of the woodshed.

"Hello, uncle. I want to ask about someone."

Chang Danian frowned and asked, "Who?"

"I want to ask if Xiao Xupao lives here?"

"Xiao Xu Pao..." Chang Danian walked to the fence and asked, "Where are you from? What do you want from him?"

"I came from Sandaohe and wanted to buy something from him."

Chang Danian relaxed his brows. At this time, Li Baoquan came out of the house and stood next to Chang Danian.

"You are the ones he met when he was in the snail shell?"

Sun Liansheng was stunned, "Ah! Yes, we met on the mountain, and I bought a bear head from him."

"Security, go to the house and get me some clothes."

After Li Baoquan got the clothes from the house, Chang Danian put them on and said, "I'll take you there. He might have gone hiking. There should be no one at home."

"Ah, no need, just tell me the place."

"Let's go."

Chang Danian didn't explain, just waved his hand, and took Li Baoquan out of the courtyard, then walked towards Old Xu's house.

Why did he do this? It's simple.

Xu Laonian and others have gone to work. If Xu Erning also takes people to go hiking, then Liu Lizhen will be the only one left in the Xu family.

Just now, Chang Danian glanced into the car and seemed to see a gun barrel. Although he was a little unsure, he chose to follow for safety reasons.

This is called being prepared...

Chang Danian walked to the door of Old Xu's house and shouted. Liu Lizhen and Han Fengjiao were preparing to make sugar cakes and dough. When they heard the voice, they came out to greet him, and Wang Hu also ran out of the house.

"Brother, security, come in quickly!"

Chang Danian glanced at the dog's home and asked, "Erning is not home?"

"He went to Lao Jiang's house to play with the dog. Huzi, go and call your second brother back."

Just as Wang Hu was about to run out, a Dongfeng car stopped at the gate of the yard, and then Sun Jiye and four others jumped out.

At the same time, Chang Danian also told the purpose of his visit, pointing at the four people and saying, "They are from Sandaohe."

"Ah, I heard Erning talk about this. I think he said something like that? Huzi."

Wang Hu said, "Last time we were in the mountains, they said they wanted to come over to buy jackal meat, and asked my second brother to leave two for them."

"Correct!"

Chang Danian's gloom disappeared when he heard this, and he said, "Then you guys can chat. I still have work to do at home. I'll go back first."

"Nowhere else, brother. Let's eat here at noon! You've come all the way here, I definitely can't let you leave."
