Return to 1983 Hunting Xing'an Mountains

Chapter 342: I'll give you a whole
Inside the house, there was a bustling atmosphere and great joy.

After three rounds of drinks, Guan Lei stood up, holding his glass and walked away with Sun Jiye. After he sat down, he chatted with the brothers Sun Liansheng and Lian Jun about interesting things in school. They were of similar age and had no generation gap, and this topic was just the right way to open up the conversation for both sides.

Xu Ning ate two bowls of rice, put down his chopsticks and sat at the table to listen to their chat. Sun Liansheng asked about Guan Lei's family intentionally or unintentionally. In fact, Guan Lei's alcohol tolerance was not bad, but he had already drunk a lot in the morning and continued drinking at noon. Even if he didn't drink much, his head was a little confused at this moment.

So Guan Lei was trapped without any preparation. Sun Liansheng felt a little strange after hearing this. He felt that Guan Lei's family was too poor, and was completely different from his own family. In addition, Guan Lei did not have a proper job, and his future life was not guaranteed at all!

Although Sun Jiye was chatting with Chang Danian, he also heard what Guan Lei said. He sighed in his heart and turned to glance at Sun Lianfang. Unexpectedly, his niece was staring at Guan Lei with a silly look.

By the time we finished drinking, it was almost 1 o'clock.

After Liu Lizhen and others cleared the table, Wang Shujuan made a pot of tea, and then Xu Ning, Chang Danian, Sun Jieye and others drank tea and chatted until 1:. Sun Jieye looked up at the wall clock and put down the teacup in his hand.

"Erning, shall we soak the scales first? It's already half past one. If we leave at two, we'll be home by half past five."

"Okay! Then go soak the scale first."

Xu Ning glanced at Guan Lei lying on the kang, and Sun Lianfang sitting beside Guan Lei's legs. He said nothing, but just smiled silently at Sun Jiye.

Sun Jiye smiled at him as well. When Xu Ning and the others turned around and walked out of the house, he put away his smile and pointed at Sun Lianfang helplessly. Sun Lianfang pouted and said, "What are you doing?"

"Go get the sack from the carriage."

"Let Lian Jun go."

"He has other things to do, go now!"

"Oh, go, I'll go..."

Sun Lianfang stood up and landed on the ground, then walked out of the house with Sun Jiye.

At the door of the lower house, the brothers Sun Jiye and Sun Liansheng were both shocked when they saw the various leathers hanging on the wall.

Several people looked at each other and thought: There are many mountain hikers in Sandahe, but few of them can save so many skins at home! There are six wolf skins, six bear skins, leopard skins, jackal skins, and dozens of rabbit skins.

What's more, there are five bear gallbladders hanging from the beams! How much would that cost?

Is there anyone who has made a fortune by running around in the mountains of Sandaohe? Yes, but at most he can get two bear gallbladders a year, which is considered a reward from the mountain god. Look at Xu Erning, he killed four black bears from the beginning of the year to the beginning of the year. What do you call this? The mountain god has fed him food!
"Piss sex!"

Sun Jiye opened his mouth and said, "Erning, did you get these five bear gallbladders?"

"No, the small one was shot by my dad and his friends, and these four were shot by a few of us."

"It's really nasty..."

It's not that Xu Ning was showing off on purpose, but because the lower house was right in the courtyard. After opening the door, Sun Jiye and others could see what was in the house by standing at the door.

"What's the point of it? It's all about making a living."

"That's right."

Xu Ning went into the lower room and reached out to take down the jackals hanging on the beams, taking down four of them in a row.

These jackals had been skinned long ago. Wang Hu stood at the door, took the skins and threw them on the sack on the ground.

He then brought out a sack of leopard bones, picked up the scale standing at the door, and said with a smile, "Uncle Sun, I have shaved off all the leopard bones. I have left two leg bones and a skull. Do you want the rest?"

"Yes! As I said, I want as many as I can get."

Chang Danian handed over a horizontal bar, which was passed through the ring on the scale bar and carried by Wang Hu and Sun Lianjun. Xu Ning hung the hook on the sack containing leopard bones, and the two men stood up and lifted the sack.

Xu Ning pulled the weight and pointed at the scale bar, saying, "The leopard bones weigh a total of 12.6 jin. How about making it a full 12 jin?"

Sun Jiye smiled and said, "It's very particular! That's it."

The entire body of this leopard's bones weighs more than 16 kilograms. After being dried in the shade, only about 14 kilograms would be left. Xu Ning kept two leg bones and the skull, so it is normal for there to be more than 12 kilograms left.

Because Xu Ning shaved the bones very cleanly, there was almost no meat left.

The jackals were much heavier, with the four of them weighing a total of 172 kilograms. There was some ice mixed in, so Xu Ning simply rounded it up to a total of 170 kilograms.

"Okay! It's a pleasure to work with you. Let me calculate how much it's worth."

Leopard bones are 10 yuan per pound, and jackal meat is 1 yuan per pound.

"970 yuan! I can round it up to 1000 yuan, how about that?"

Xu Ning waved his hand: "How can that work? If you want to round it up, you have to draw it downwards. How can it go up by itself?"

Sun Jiye shook his head and said, "Erning, that's not the case. Listen to me first..."

He pulled Xu Ning aside, and the two of them walked two steps toward the gate. Sun Jiye said in a low voice, "I didn't expect to be treated to delicious food and drinks this time. Since Qing'an and Sandaohe don't get along well, I didn't think about buying anything..."

Xu Ning frowned and said, "Hey, you don't have to buy anything. You guys are here to give me money, how can I not entertain you?"

"Please listen to me first. There is another reason. You must know what my eldest brother does in the city. Yesterday, my eldest brother said that the driver of the second-in-command of the Municipal Bureau is called Xu Long, also from Qing'an. I immediately thought that he must be your brother, right? Why didn't I mention it today? Mainly because I was afraid that your family would be disgusted."

Xu Ning smiled and said, "Well, I know, Uncle Sun, you don't have to be so sensitive. This happened many years ago, and my Grandpa Zhang and Uncle Guo are applying for equipment from the Municipal Bureau. I estimate that it will be approved soon."

Sun Jiye suddenly realized: "Qing'an has already applied? Well... then what is the relationship between the second-in-command and your family?"

This question was a bit direct, but Sun Jiye couldn't find a better way. He knew Xu Ning was smart and wanted to play tricks on him, but he might end up losing more than he gained, so he asked directly.

Xu Ning pursed his lips and said, "Uncle Sun, my brother is the driver for him. You see, we didn't get any help from him. If we really had a connection, Hu Zi, Lei Zi and I would have already started working at the forest farm."

Sun Jiye looked into his sincere eyes and nodded: "That's the case."

What he was thinking was that Xu Ning called Zhang Deyu "Master Zhang" and Guo Xingmin "Uncle Guo", and even with such strong relationships he was unable to recruit them into the forest farm, so it would definitely not be easy to handle.

Since Xu Long can drive for the second-in-command of the Municipal Bureau, it really doesn't matter if he can't be prepared.

"Then you have to listen to me and make up a total of 1000 yuan! Okay?"

"Okay! If you're willing to give more, I can't really stop you."

"Hahaha, that's the truth."

Sun Jiye put away his smile, reached into his pocket with one hand and pointed at the Sun Liansheng brothers with the other, saying, "What are you two thinking about while you are loading the truck for the jackals?"

"okay."

The Sun Liansheng brothers moved quickly. One of them carried a jackal and walked towards the gate of the courtyard. Wang Hu followed behind with a leopard bone.

Sun Jiye took out a wad of money from his pocket, most of which were in big unity notes, and the rest were five-yuan notes. He counted them carefully twice, looked up and said embarrassedly: "A total of 820 yuan. I didn't think you had leopard bones. Before I came here, I calculated the price based on two jackals, 7 yuan, and I still took 200 more."

"It's okay. How about this? You owe me 200 first and I'll send it over when I have time."

Sun Jiye nodded: "This is the only way... Hey, how about asking my eldest brother to give it to your brother directly? Isn't that also possible!"

"That's fine."

"Okay! I'll call him when I get back. That's settled. Here's 800. Please order."

Xu Ning took the money and counted it twice in front of him. "It's correct, not a single mistake!"

Sun Jiye put 20 yuan in change into his pocket and said, "Okay, I'll leave first. If you have time to come to Sandaohe someday, I will definitely treat you well."

"You're not going to hit me with a chainsaw, are you?"

"Hahaha, what are you talking about? I wasn't being polite."

"I know. I'll have time to wait until some time ago. The main thing is that my family has to build a house in the spring..."

"Ah, are you getting married?" "Yes, this fall."

"Hey, why didn't you tell me this earlier?"

"You didn't ask, it's not too late to tell you now."

"It's not too late. Send me a letter when the time comes."

"Row."

Sun Jiye turned his head and looked outside the door. He saw Sun Liansheng and his brother standing under the front of the car looking at him, but he didn't see Sun Lianfang. He frowned and asked, "Where's Lianfang?"

Chang Danian said with a smile: "It's not long since I came into the house."

"Oh, fuck me!"

Sun Jiye's face turned pale and he ran into the house quickly, passing Liu Lizhen and others who were washing and tidying up the stove in the outer room, and went straight into the east room. Then he saw Sun Lianfang standing at Guan Lei's feet, with her arms folded and a sad look on her face.

"What are you doing?"

Sun Lianfang pouted and said, "I didn't do anything."

"Then hurry home, or you'll have to wait until dark when you get home."

Sun Jiye pulled her arm, and Sun Lianfang twisted her body and said, "Uncle, why don't you go home?"

"What? Hey, stop being naughty! If I leave you here, your mother will scratch me to death when we get home. Go home quickly and listen to your uncle..."

"Stop embarrassing yourself here. All your little thoughts have come out. You can't hide them! Go back home and ask your parents, okay, third brother, don't make me angry."

Sun Lianfang lowered her head and stared at her toes. After thinking for a while, she nodded: "Okay, let's go home."

"Just be obedient, dear. I'll buy you a soda when I get home."

"Uncle, I'm not a child anymore."

"Yes, yes, you are an adult, let's go."

Sun Jiye took her arm and walked to the outer room, smiling and saying, "Big sister, we are leaving first."

"Hey, are you leaving now? Fine, come back when you have time."

"it is good!"

Sun Lianfang grinned and said, "Goodbye, Auntie! Goodbye, Second Auntie..."

She greeted everyone and Liu Lizhen said with a smile, "Hey, Lianfang, come over and play when you have time."

"okay!"

Sun Lianfang grinned and was then dragged out of the door by Sun Jiye.

Liu Lizhen and others put down their work and walked over to see them off.

Standing at the gate of the courtyard, watching the Sun family from Sandaohe leave.

Chang Danian turned around and said, "Okay, let's go home."

"Brother, wait a minute! Don't leave yet."

Liu Lizhen turned and rushed into the lower room, then took out a piece of roe deer meat, "Security, take this meat and take it home for Juan'er and the children to taste."

Li Baoquan glanced at Chang Danian and heard him say, "Take it."

After he took it, the two of them strolled towards home.

"Mom, come in. Let's go to Uncle Jiang's house and take a look at the three dogs and the pigs."

"Your uncle and the others should be back soon... Hey, wait a minute!"

Liu Lizhen glared at her son unhappily and said with her hands spread out, "You are really the boss, why don't you take it out quickly?"

Xu Ning grinned, took out 800 yuan from his pocket, and said, "Oh, I forgot about it. I just kept warming this money."

"You are such a bullshit, how could you forget it? How much money was it in total?"

"This is 800 yuan. He still owes me 200 yuan. You can divide it according to 1000 yuan..."

"Brother! Has Old Sun's family left?"

At this time, Guan Lei walked out of the house quickly, looked up and asked.

"Let's go!"

Guan Lei muttered as he walked: "Oh my god, he's finally gone."

Seeing that Old Sun's family had left, he was completely relieved.

Just now in the house, he was just a little groggy, so he lay on the kang to relax for a while, but he didn't fall asleep at all.

Who would have thought that Sun Lianfang had been gossiping about him, and whispered in his ear: "Just wait, I will come to find you. You just pretended, but I wasted my time to wash your head, and you didn't even say thank you, tsk..."

Xu Ning asked: "You are not asleep?"

"No, my mind is a little confused..."

After counting the money, Liu Lizhen turned around and said, "Leizi, do you know how much money you can get?"

"Auntie, please save it for me."

"This kid, you didn't even ask how much money you got, and you just asked me to save it for you. Let me tell you, the jackal meat and leopard bones sold for a total of 1000 yuan today, and you got 200 yuan. Add the 10 yuan you got from the bear head, and you have a total of 210 yuan with me."

Xu Ning smiled and said, "Look at how good my mother is at math. She is worthy of being the wife of the accountant of Qing'an Forest Farm."

"Get lost, you're annoying." Liu Lizhen patted Guan Lei on the shoulder and said, "Is this money enough for you to marry a wife? If not, ask your brother to sell the furs in the house. Once you have the money, I don't believe you don't want to get married!"

Xu Ning, who was standing nearby, heard this and looked at Guan Lei and said, "Mom, you guys go in first. I'll take Shi Tou to Uncle Jiang's house for a walk."

Han Fengjiao turned around and said, "Erning, I think Sun Lianfang seems to be interested in Leizi."

"Second Aunt, it's not just a little interesting, it's very interesting! I noticed it when we were in the middle of the conversation. It's okay, I'll talk to Shitou about it later."

"Well, you three should come back soon."

"know."

When Liu Lizhen and the others entered the room, Xu Ning put his arm around Guan Lei's neck and said with a smile, "What's wrong? Are you a little afraid of love?"

"No..." Guan Lei shook his head.

"That means you think your conditions are not good enough and you are afraid that the other person won't be able to live a good life after following you, right?"

Guan Lei looked at him and nodded: "Yeah, brother, how come you know everything?"

"I'm your brother, how can I not know you? Someone like Hu Zi doesn't have as many thoughts as you do, do you know why?"

Wang Hu stretched his neck and asked, "Why, second brother?"

"Why? Because you are so stubborn!"
