Return to 1983 Hunting Xing'an Mountains

Chapter 406 This is my boyfriend, don't be afraid of favors
Dahe Village, village office.

Sun Jiye held the microphone and smiled silently when he heard this. He knew his niece well. Sun Lianfang was the only person who could say this, which also showed that she had really set her sights on Guan Lei. If her family objected, it might have a counterproductive effect.

He took a puff of his cigarette, narrowed his eyes and smiled, "You don't need to tell your parents about this. We already discussed it yesterday. We originally wanted you to bring him back."

"Really? That's great! I was wondering if they would be happy with it..."

After saying that, Sun Lianfang looked back and saw that Xu Ning, Wang Hu and the others were not looking at her. They just blinked at Sun Liansheng and continued, "Third Uncle, what did my parents say?"

"What else can I say? I talked to your uncle twice yesterday. Your mother is quite open-minded. She told you to bring him home for a look. You know your father. He just feels unhappy. Just bring him home and have a couple of drinks."

"Oh! Now I feel relieved."

Sun Jiye laughed and said, "Haha, then when did you bring it back? So we can be prepared."

"I guess he will have to go back to Wanye in a while to bring his younger sister to Qing'an. Oh, yes, Second Aunt bought him a house. We will go and take a look at it later. Maybe he will settle down in Qing'an in the future."

Sun Jiye was a little confused: "Take root in Qing'an? Oh, did Erning set up two places and want him to manage them?"

"Yes! Third Uncle, please say some good things to my parents. He is a very hard-working man with good character. He treats me well..."

"I know! You're such a worrywart... Then why don't you bring them directly to Erning and his two brothers when you come back? It will be a great occasion for our two families."

Sun Lianfang turned her head and covered the microphone and whispered, "He probably can't go. We're building a house here."

"Give him the phone number and I'll talk to him."

Sun Lianfang put down the phone, turned around and shouted, "Brother! My third uncle wants to chat with you."

At this moment, Xu Ning was sitting on the edge of the kang, chatting with Du Shoucai about the homestead.

Although the procedures for the homestead have been approved, the area has not yet been measured. This is an obvious reversal of procedures, but it is definitely not a problem.

As Sun Lianfang called him, Xu Ning jumped down from the kang, walked over and took the phone, saying, "Uncle Sun, I'm Xu Ning."

"Hey, Erning, Lianfang is going to bring Guan Lei to Sandahe this time. Why don't you and your two brothers come together? We can have some fun together."

Xu Ning smiled and said, "Uncle Sun, to be honest, I also want to take a stroll in Sandaohe, but my family is planning to build a house, and I was just discussing the homestead issue. All these things fell on me, and I really can't leave. If I leave, no one will take care of the house building at home."

"Have you bought all the bricks, tiles, cement, etc. for building the house? Tell me if you need anything!"

"I've bought everything. We just finished chatting yesterday..."

"Do you want to make new furniture? I'll send two carpenters over to you."

"Uncle Sun, thank you very much. I have also booked a carpenter. It is my father-in-law. He said that he can just find two apprentices."

"Hey, your arrangement is very clear. I can't help even if I want to..."

Xu Ning smiled and said, "Uncle Sun, if I need help I will just ask for it. I definitely can't be polite with you."

Sun Jiye said, "Of course you should. Why are you being polite to me? Oh, there's one more thing. Have you heard about the replacement of the guards in autumn?"

"I heard, Uncle Sun, are you coming to Qing'an?"

Xu Ning knew clearly that the hunters from Sandaohe must come to Qing'an, because in order to ease the relationship, they must contribute manpower.

"Yeah! My eldest brother has set the tone. I will take people there when the time comes. Where are you going?"

"I have to go to Wangxing. I decided last year. Then you can come to Qing'an. My uncle will arrange a place for you. My uncle is the secretary of Qing'an."

Sun Jishan said with a smile: "Okay! It's easy to get things done when someone else does it. Thank you for your help."

"Don't be polite, we may be relatives in the future, and Lianfang will have to call me brother."

"Hahaha, good!"

Sun Lianfang stood nearby and said, "I have to call you brother now too!"

Xu Ning handed her the phone with a smile and said, "Wait until you two get married, and I'll give you money to change your words."

"Thank you, brother! Hehe..." Sun Lianfang grinned.

She took the phone and chatted with Sun Jiye for a few words, then hung up, ran over, patted Guan Lei on the shoulder, and vowed that it had been done!
Guan Lei said with a straight face: "I still have to call home, my home..."

"Of course I agree! I can't find a daughter as beautiful as mine even with a lantern!"

"Hahaha……"

After laughing, Guan Lei went to call Wu Zhouquan. This call took a long time to get through because the village office had to send someone to Old Wu's house to look for him, which delayed him for a while.

When Wu Zhouquan and Wu Hailong heard that Guan Lei was going to bring his girlfriend home, they were both shocked. They could hear the voice coming from the receiver even while sitting on the edge of the kang. It really shocked the old Wu family.

Wu Hailong asked anxiously: "Who did you date the other day?"

Guan Lei answered truthfully, telling him about the woman's family situation and the date they confirmed their relationship. Wu Hailong was silent for a moment and said, "I was wondering why you, a quiet person, suddenly found a boyfriend."

Guan Lei said, "We met in the mountains, brother-in-law, let's talk about this when we get back."

Wu Hailong asked, "Okay, then when are you going to bring your date back? Will Er Ning Hu Zi come over?"

"My brother has to stay at home to prepare for building a house, so Huzi has to go there. Second Aunt said she missed Xiaohua and wanted to bring Qing'an to live with Xiaohua for a while."

"live……"

Before Wu Hailong finished asking, Guan Lei said, "Second Aunt bought me a house in the village, so Xiaohua will have a place to live when she comes."

"What the hell? Second Aunt bought you a house? No, it's such a big deal, why didn't you tell me earlier?"

Guan Lei smiled bitterly: "Brother-in-law, I only found out about it last night. By the time I found out, they were all sold out."

"Oh my god, Second Auntie has nothing to say about you. You can also take Xiaohua over. She has been talking about Hu Zi to your sister these past two days. You said that Hu Zi hasn't even called since the New Year..."

"Brother-in-law, why did you choose this? Isn't this inconvenient?"

"I know. When will you be back?"

"Later! We will go back later. We will be back in two days. We have to help my brother with some work."

Wu Hailong nodded when he heard this: "Okay, your uncle is so excited that he can't speak, you kid..."

“Hahaha, brother-in-law, let my uncle not get too excited.”

"Okay, I'll call your brother Quan and ask him if he can come back."

"okay."

After hanging up the phone, Sun Lianfang pouted and said, "Why don't you let me chat with your brother-in-law?"

"What are you talking about with my brother-in-law? Let's talk about it next time we meet!"

Sun Liansheng smiled and said, "Leizi is right. Let's talk about it when we meet. Lianfang, we have to go there later. Let's go to the street in the afternoon?"

"Okay!" Sun Lianfang said sharply.

Guan Lei knew what they were doing on the street, so he waved his hand and said, "No need to go to the street. We'll pass by Wanye City later and make preparations there."

Sun Liansheng nodded: "That's fine."

Then, they came to the edge of the kang, grabbed a cup of tea to moisten their throats, and heard Xu Ning say, "Uncle, my homestead is right next to the mountain, why don't you give me a piece of the mountain?" Du Shoucai rubbed his smiling face and said, "You are so beautiful! This mountain is public. If you want a piece of it, you have to go to the county compound to go through the procedures. It seems that you have to sign a contract, and it's not a small amount of money a year. What do you want the mountain for?"

"Beekeeping! I just learned a little bit about beekeeping from Dongshan a few days ago. I'm thinking of trying it myself next year."

Du Shoucai said, "Then... go to the county compound to handle the formalities when winter comes. Mountains like this are usually allocated to individuals or become wasteland. This mountain is rocky and no one wants it. It shouldn't be expensive for you to contract it."

Since Du Shoucai said it couldn't be done, then it definitely couldn't be done, so Xu Ning nodded: "Okay, I'll do it when I go to the street one day."

"Are you looking for Hu Zhibin to buy bricks, tiles and cement this time?"

"Yeah! He even helped me rent a four-wheeler from the farm machinery station and told people it was borrowed."

"Four wheels? Oh my god... I was wondering why there was a clattering sound all morning, it turns out it's a four-wheeler..."

"Of course, my father insisted on driving his four-wheeler around the village. How far is it from the west entrance to my home? He drove his four-wheeler for half an hour!"

"Hahaha... this is something your father would do! Then go to the street and find Hu Zhibin. If you have the connection, you should use it. Don't be afraid of asking for favors. Favors are a give-and-take thing."

"I know! I'll just go find him. No one else can do this."

Du Shoucai nodded: "When are we going to mark out the homestead? I need to call two people."

"Afternoon? I have to go to Old Ma's house later."

Du Shoucai helped Han Fengjiao buy the house from the old Ma family, and it cost a total of 120 yuan, so Du Shoucai knew about it.

"Go ahead. The Ma family's house is in pretty good condition. The two lower rooms and the shed were built a few days ago. The main house is also kept very clean. It's a hundred times better than the Dong family's house that Li Feng bought."

"Well, let's go first, sir."

"Let's go." Du Shoucai waved his hand.

After a group of people greeted him, they walked towards the door. After they left, the room became empty and seemed a lot quieter.

Du Shoucai turned on the radio and continued to listen to the storytelling. He went downstairs to put away the teacups and sat back on the kang to enjoy himself...

There is basically no one else in Qing'an Village who lives like him.

After Xu Ning and his companions left the village headquarters, they headed for Lao Ma's house. On the way, some villagers saw this small group of people and turned to look at them, but did not say a word, because the villagers in this group were not very familiar with Xu Ning and Wang Hu, but they were familiar with Xu Laonian and Wang Erli. After all, they were from the same production team and often worked together.

Xu Ning and Meng Quezi were not familiar with each other before, but after saving Meng Ziyan, they became familiar with each other and the two families developed a deep relationship.

At this moment, in the courtyard of the old Meng family, Meng Yinhe was chopping firewood and practicing axe skills, Meng Quezi was standing on a wooden block and using a pencil to draw dimensions, Liu Fenfang brewed a pot of tea for the father and son and placed it on the chopping board, then sat under the eaves and knitted a sweater.

"Mom! I have diarrhea..." Meng Yinhe said resentfully, turning around.

Liu Fenfang said: "Just drink more hot water."

Meng Ziyan stood at the door and laughed, "It's your fault! Who told you not to study hard? And you dared to challenge others to a fight? Why didn't you put your clothes in your trouser pockets?"

"Sister! How can you say that about your own brother? I'm in such a bad shape, and you still slander me."

Meng Quezi looked up and said, "You can't hold on for the last two months? And you dare to challenge others to a fight? I think you have no place to use your energy. Chop all the firewood today. If you don't finish it, don't eat."

At this time, a group of people passed by Lao Meng's house.

The voice was a little loud, so Meng Quezi quickly shut up. The four of them looked up at the same time and saw Xu Ning walking in the crowd, turning around and grinning at them.

"Uncle Meng! Auntie!"

Wang Hu and Guan Lei also turned around to greet them, but Sun Lianfang and Sun Liansheng looked at each other, not knowing what to say.

"Hey! Erning! Where are you guys doing?" Liu Fenfang put down her knitting needles and sweater, stood up and walked towards the door.

Meng Ziyan felt a little embarrassed when she saw so many people. She smoothed her hair and followed her mother, while Meng Yinhe saw her savior and hurriedly ran towards the door.

"Second brother! Hey, how long has it been since we last met?"

Xu Ning stood at the door and rubbed Meng Yinhe's head, saying, "My second aunt bought a house for Shitou, which is the one that the old Ma family originally lived in. I was thinking of going over to take a look and tidy up."

Xu Ning turned around and introduced, "Aunt, this is Shitou's boyfriend, Sun Lianfang. He is Lianfang's cousin, Sun Liansheng."

"Lianfang, Brother Sheng, this is our Uncle Meng and Aunt Meng. She is my girlfriend Meng Ziyan, and this is my younger brother Meng Yinhe."

Sun Lianfang's eyes lit up when she heard this. She greeted Liu Fenfen and Meng Quezi first, then clapped her hands in delight. "Oh my god! Sister-in-law! I've heard of you for a long time, but I've never met you. Now that I see you, you're really beautiful, like an ancient lady. You'll sound good too, Zi Yan... like a poem."

Meng Ziyan blushed and said, "Thank you. How did you and Lei Zi get together? I haven't heard of it before."

Sun Lianfang didn't mind being embarrassed at all, and she talked about how she and Guan Lei were dating in public. When Meng Quezi and Liu Fenfang heard it, they were silent, but Meng Ziyan said, "Oh, you are really brave, I admire you!"

Xu Ning interrupted, "What are you admiring? Lianfang is quite reserved."

Liu Fenfang laughed and said, "Haha, these two kids look quite alike! Sheng, go inside and drink some water first, and then come over later."

Sun Liansheng glanced at Xu Ning, and Xu Ning said, "Aunt, let's go over and take a look first, and come back later."

"That's fine, Auntie, I'll make another pot of tea and we can have it here for lunch!"

"Aunt, you can have some tea, but you can't eat here at noon. My mom and the others are making sauce at home, so I have to go back and help fetch water later."

Liu Fenfang asked: "Is it time to cook today?"

"Hmm, the more sauce you add, the tastier it gets."

"Oh, all right then, go ahead and come back inside later."

"I know! Let her go for a walk with me."

Meng Quezi nodded: "Go ahead, she has nothing to do at home anyway."

Meng Yinhe said anxiously: "Second brother! Take me with you!"

"Just stay home and chop firewood! I told you not to study hard, and you dare to challenge others to a fight. Do you believe I will let your second brother kick you to death?"

Meng Ziyan finished her words and looked at Xu Ning with a proud look. Xu Ning patted Meng Yinhe on the shoulder and said, "Who are you going to fight with?"

Meng Yinhe muttered, "Li Xiaopang from Tai'an, we were playing pia ji there, and he came over and stepped on our pia ji and dirtied it, so could we tolerate him? But the principal found out before school was over..."

Xu Ning frowned and said, "If it's really like what you said, then there is indeed something wrong with him. Go find Biao and Tian En when school starts tomorrow, and the three of you can beat him up together! The teacher wants to find the parents, so I'll go to the school."

"Yes! Second brother, I will listen to you then."

Liu Fenfang and Meng Quezi remained silent upon hearing this. Although they were a little unhappy, it was indeed their children who suffered a loss.

Meng Ziyan said: "How can we teach him how to fight? What if he gets hurt again?"

"Be gentle, it won't hurt him, it's okay. If you keep silent about this kind of thing, he will bully you in the future. Isn't there a saying that says it's better to strike once than to strike a hundred? Isn't there any truth to this saying?"

Meng Quezi frowned when he heard this, then nodded: "Well, Erning has some truth in what he said, but he has only two months of classes left, so don't let him get hurt."

"Uncle Meng, don't worry, Biao and Tian'en know how to do things, and they know how to control their actions."

Xu Ning pointed at Meng Yinhe and said, "Just stay home and chop firewood for now."

"Yes! I will chop all the firewood."
