Return to 1983 Hunting Xing'an Mountains

Chapter 445: Another big event in the name of Xiao Xu Pao

It is important for people to have self-knowledge. Since Xu Ning came back to life, he has been particularly good at reflection. He believes that apart from environmental factors, most of the hardships in life are due to one's own choices.

Yang Yusheng is right. We are not afraid of you making mistakes, but we are afraid that the mistakes you make are meaningless. A meaningful mistake can bring benefits, while a meaningless mistake will only make you suffer.

At 4:15, a group of people gathered in front of the door to chat. Xu Ning squatted down and stroked the blue wolf, gray wolf, and spotted wolf, which kept burrowing into his arms. These dogs consumed a lot of food every day. Liu Lizhen said that the previous in-laws came over, and Wang Minfu brought half a truck of fine bran and wheat bran. These things were discarded by the grain station, and Wang Minfu bought them at a very low price.

Wang Yuanjun was also picked up by him. Previously, Wang Yuanjun had followed Xu Ning's advice and was ready to give up his job at the grain station and go to the city's grain warehouse to work as a warehouse keeper. Wang Minfu was very concerned about his son's affairs. After hearing the news, he hurriedly made arrangements and got things done in just two or three days. Now Wang Yuanjun has gone to work in the city.

Wang Hu leaned over the window and peeked into the room, then turned around and said, "Second brother, my uncle is snoring, how about we go to the north end and unload the kang stones first?"

"Okay, I have to show my face when I just got back. Third Uncle, you guys can rest at home, we will go over there."

Sun Jiye threw away his cigarette, stood up and said, "Why take a break when you haven't done any work? Aren't you going to buy some kang stones? I just happened to go over and make a phone call."

Xu Ning nodded when he heard this: "Okay then."

Everyone walked towards the door and got into their cars. Xu Ning then drove towards the north.

The Dongfeng 140 rolled over the makeshift wooden bridge, making it creak. Wang Erli put down his cart and walked over with a smile, asking, "What are you doing?"

Xu Ning stopped the car, opened the door, and said, "I have half a load of kang stone slabs in Sandahe. Where are we going to unload them?"

"Pile it next to the wood. This thing won't get wet."

Xu Ning closed the door, turned the steering wheel and parked the car between two piles of wood, then jumped out of the car and waved to everyone. People like Xiao Liu, Lao Jiang, Lao Wei, Da Laba and others in the reception room gathered around, stood in front of the car and looked at Xu Ning with smiles.

Xu Ning turned around and introduced Sun Jiye and Sun Lianxu. The forest farm people were quite respectful. After shaking hands with them, Xiao Liu asked, "I heard that you killed two bandits in the mountains? What happened?"

Xu Ning smiled and said, "That's it."

"Brother, come and chat! It's so comfortable to listen to stories while working!" said Big Trumpet with grin.

"Come on, guys, quickly remove this piece of stone slab, and then we can hear what's going on! This matter has been bothering me, and I feel like I'm itching to scratch it!"

"Hahaha, that's not great! Accountant Xu gave me a lot of rants in the morning, but I still don't understand what's going on."

Xu Ning climbed into the carriage and moved the kang stone slab to the rear of the carriage. Lao Jiang, Xiao Liu and others placed it on the ground below. He said, "Then let Hu Zi explain it to them."

Wang Hu stood on the log and started talking from the moment they met Li Tielin. Everyone listened while working, clapping and exclaiming when they heard exciting parts. Wang Hu spoke more and more fluently because these people really supported him. No matter what Wang Hu said, they didn't let his words fall to the ground, giving his words considerable emotional value.

After the kang stone slabs and kang edge boards were piled in the open space between the wood, everyone slowly moved to the side of the foundation ditch. At this time, Lao Jiang, Li Fuqiang, Liu Daming, Sun Jieye and others were standing by and smoking, and the others also took this opportunity to drink a sip of water. When Wang Hu finished speaking.

The loud speaker slapped his hips and said, "Look! What did my uncle say? It must be a whore! My uncle was right!"

"Not bad at all. Accountant Xu is quite capable. Most people can't analyze it."

Wang Erli said: "Your trip was quite thrilling. If you hadn't brought your stuff with you, you would have probably been left behind."

Xu Ning nodded: "Yeah, I took the weapon thinking of going hunting, but I didn't expect to use it here."

He did not tell the truth in public. The bottom line was that he heard that the person they were looking for was Lao Ba, and they had a feud in the past, so he wanted to be prepared.

Lao Jiang said, "I heard from your dad that this matter will be reported in the newspaper? When can we see it?"

"I estimate that it will take two or three days for the provincial capital to close the case before it can be reported in the newspaper."

"I never thought that Qing'an could produce a celebrity? He bravely stood up for justice, and killed a gangster who had killed eight people! Huh, huh, didn't the provincial capital invite you over? At least you should be given a bonus, right?"

Xu Ning looked at everyone and smiled, "This matter needs to be handled in a low profile and not publicized. What if those two gangsters have accomplices? If an accomplice really comes to retaliate against me, then my family will be in real trouble."

Everyone looked at each other and nodded, and someone said, "If there are accomplices coming, you really have to be more careful."

"That's right. It's never wrong to be careful."

"..."

At this time, Yu Kaihe said, "Okay, let's work quickly and make the boards neat so that they won't be crooked when we pour concrete tomorrow! We can rest for two days after we finish it tomorrow."

"It's done! Old Brother Yu has rules and regulations for his work. We should all listen to him and get it done quickly."

Xu Ning looked at Uncle Zhang from the forest farm and said, "Uncle Zhang, thank you for your hard work."

"Oh my god, stop talking like that. Why are you being so polite to us? Your father helps us a lot at the forest farm. Why is it hard for us to work here for two days? If anyone is working hard, it should be my sister-in-law. Since we came here, she has been preparing different meals every day, and there are several dishes for each meal..."

"It's not a big deal. I've gained weight! When I got home, my wife asked me if I ate it secretly."

"Your wife is right. You are just cheating on her!"

"Get lost, I'm talking about the elbow here, and you're talking about the hip axis there..."

These foresters worked very hard, and the current progress was already very fast. One should know that the houses of Xu and Wang were being built at the same time, and the foundations of both houses were dug in just two or three days. This was enough to show that they all treated this work as their own business, and no one was lazy.

Xu Ning greeted them and went to the military headquarters with Sun Jiye. Li Fuqiang, Guan Lei and others stayed behind to help with the work. Li Fuqiang and Wang Hu wanted to stay, because besides working, they also wanted to hear some good words. Who doesn't want to be praised?

Inside the village headquarters, Old Tang, who worked for free, and the accountant were sitting on the kang playing chess. They were called over by Du Shoucai to cover for the shift.

Du Shoucai had originally agreed to come to Old Xu's house to accompany him for drinking, so why didn't he come? Because his eldest grandson was naughty at school and fell off the wall and broke his arm.

Therefore, Du Shoucai and Zhao Yue'e took the child to Taiping to find Lao Deng. Lao Deng couldn't do the job. The child's arm was swollen from the fall. Lao Deng felt it and knew that the bones were dislocated. They needed to go to the health center for an X-ray. Only then could Lao Deng straighten the child's bones with his bare hands. So at noon, Du Shoucai went to the Beitou construction site to find Xu Laonian, who helped him arrange a car and took them to the street.

"Hey, Erning!"

"Play, this is me..."

Xu Ning walked in with a smile and introduced Sun Jiye to Old Tang and the accountant. After the three of them greeted each other and heard their purpose, Old Tang and the accountant continued playing chess.

Sun Jiye took out the phone book from his pocket, found the mine's phone number and dialed it.

"I'm looking for Sun Weimin. I'm Sun Jiye, his third brother!"

Just half a minute after he introduced himself, the other party answered the phone, "Hello? I'm Sun Weimin, is this Lao San?"

"Yes, Brother Min, it's me. I want to ask you for something."

"Just say it."

"My friend wants to buy some kang stones. How much is your kang stones per truck?"

"It usually sells for 80, but your friend bought it for 60. You know the prices of everything have gone up in the last two years."

"Okay, then three trucks will be enough. Hey, Brother Min, I heard you say before that you know a boss who makes big iron gates. Can you help me get in touch with him?"

"Big iron doors are very expensive. A pair of iron doors and rails costs three or four hundred yuan. Can your friend afford that?"

Sun Jiye said with a smile: "We are relatives, so you can ask the boss to give you a discount. If it's not too far, you can put it in Qing'an."

"Whose family is Qing'an?"

"Old Xu's family."

Sun Weimin asked, "That little Xu Pao from Qing'an? Oh my god, I heard that he killed two bandits in Sandahe Mountain a few days ago. Is it true?"

"How do you know this?"

"I have friends in the city and the province. I had dinner with them and talked about it yesterday. Is this true?"

"real."

Sun Weimin was silent for a moment and said, "That's quite cool... How about this, when I deliver the kang stones to him, I'll ask the iron door maker to come over and measure the size, how about that?"

"Okay, thank you very much." "Oh, don't be polite, our relationship... maybe I will need to ask Xiao Xupao for help in the future."

"What's up, Brother Min?"

"My mine is surrounded by animals all over. Last year, two workers were killed by black bears. This spring, one of them jumped off a cliff after being chased by one. I asked someone to take a look and they said that I might have offended the mountain god this year. Hey, I originally wanted to ask you for help this winter, but you're also very busy in winter. Since you know Xiao Xu Pao, why don't you help me? I won't let him come in vain!"

Sun Jiye said, "I do have something to do this winter. My son is learning greenhouse farming, right? I have to keep an eye on him, otherwise I'll be worried. OK, I'll have time to talk to Xiao Xupao, but he can't say for sure this winter. Wangxing Village, which grows ginseng, has asked him to protect the farmers, and his family is building a house now, so he should get married after the house is built..."

"Ah, then, you talk to him first, and if that doesn't work, I'll find someone else."

"Okay, I'll let you know whether it works or not."

"Okay! I'll have someone deliver it to him tomorrow. It'll be fifty bucks per car. No matter if he comes or not, let's make a good impression first."

"Hahaha, okay, Brother Min."

After hanging up the phone, Sun Jiye turned around, looked at Xu Ning and said with a smile: "Your name has spread to the boss circle."

Xu Ning scratched his head feeling a little helpless, because he wanted to keep a low profile, but his fame and strength did not allow it!

"Oh, I'm a little worried. Uncle San, is the owner of this quarry your cousin?"

Sun Jiye shook his head. "In terms of seniority, he is my cousin, but we are five generations apart, so we have the same ancestor. His ancestral grave is in Sandahe, and it used to be in Dawa Village... What do you say? He wants you to go hunt livestock around the quarry, and the time is probably around the end of autumn or the beginning of winter this year."

Xu Ning said, "This job is a bit tight. The terrain of the quarry is too complicated. How about waiting until I get married?"

"Okay, whatever you say, he can deliver it to the place tomorrow afternoon, fifty yuan per car. This guy is quite capable, but you also know that businessmen are very cunning."

"Hahaha, I see!"

Xu Ning has a lot of work on his plate now. He is building a house at home, and he will go to Wangxing to protect farmers in autumn. He also needs to find time to get married. After marriage, the couple will be very busy. In addition, the field must be repaired in autumn. Early winter is the peak time for logging in the field...

Xu Ning said hello to Old Tang and the accountant, and the two of them wandered back home. As soon as they entered the door, they saw Xu Feng dragging Li Jinyu out. When she saw Xu Ning, she quickly stopped and stood at attention, baring her teeth and waving to Sun Jiye, "Third Uncle! When did you get here?"

"It's a little after two o'clock. Did you just get out of school?"

"Yeah, I just got home a little while ago, and my dad told me you guys were coming over, so I thought I'd go and play some rubber rope with Sister Fang."

Xu Ning said: "Why don't you help mom with the chores? All you do is play all day long."

"Oh, there are so many people here, how can we find the children? What the children need most now is to play. My teacher said that the body is the capital of learning..."

"Stop talking nonsense, where are your brother Biao and the others?"

"I'm chatting with my dad in the room. Uncle San, we're leaving first!"

Seeing Sun Jiye nod, Xu Feng dragged Li Jinyu away. Xu Ning looked back at her crazy look and shook his head, saying, "This child is even more naughty than I was when I was a child!"

"Did you play skipping rope when you were a kid?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Ning looked at Sun Jiye and then burst into laughter.

Inside the house, Wang Biao, Liu Tianen, Huang Lin, and Li Mantang heard the noise and stood up to greet them.

"Second brother! Third uncle, oh my god, I've been waiting for you to come back! Haha..."

Wang Biao laughed and walked forward, saying, "Second brother, do you know how badly Fatty Li got beaten by his father? He didn't even dare to come to school the next day!"

Xu Ning narrowed his eyes and said, "Don't you know what happened?"

"What happened? I don't know. My uncle didn't tell us."

"Then go to the north end and ask your brother. You will understand once you hear him."

"Second brother, just tell me." Liu Tianen said.

Xu Ning waved his hand: "Don't bother me."

"Okay! Third Uncle, let me chat with you. I'll be back soon!"

"Let's go!"

Sun Jiye looked at the little bastards and said with a smile, "These guys are quite adventurous. Why are they so afraid of you?"

“They are the ones I have played with since I was a kid.”

"Haha, no wonder you are such a donkey. Hey, are you sober now, brother?"

Xu Chunlin stood on the ground and handed him a cigarette with a smile, saying, "Excuse me, I usually have a good alcohol tolerance, but I may have drunk too much today."

"Dad, you were drunk and excited. You pointed at my grandpa Sun's forehead and kept asking: Are you wrong? Are you wrong? Are you wrong? You made my grandpa Sun's face red."

Xu Laonian was stunned: "Oh my god, is that so? I don't have any impression of it."

"You are a noble man who forgets things easily."

Xu Laonian raised his foot to gesture, but didn't really put it down. He gritted his teeth and said, "Get lost! This little jerk is always being mean to me. Go get some tea, and I'll have a drink and chat with your uncle."

"Got it."

Sun Jiye smiled and sat on the edge of the kang and said, "Brother, the atmosphere between you and your son is quite good."

"What's good about it? To use other people's words, the father is not a father, and the son is not a son. We are just one step away from turning the world upside down."

"Haha, I'm actually quite envious. I have a very good relationship with my son, but he won't tell me or his mother what's on his mind unless he can talk to Lian Fang..."

Xu Laonian was a little puzzled, "Why did it become like this?"

"How should I know? I'm just wondering."

At this time, Xu Ning came into the room carrying a teapot and said, "Uncle San, I'm telling you the truth, please don't take it to heart."

"You can talk about it. You call me Third Uncle, but we are just friends. There is nothing we can't talk about."

Xu Ning said with a smile: "I think you are too strict with your children. You don't have time to relax at all. Take my brother Xu for example. Did you ask him if he is happy to learn greenhouse farming technology? From this incident, I can guess that everything he has done since he was a child was arranged by you, right?"

Sun Jiye was silent for a while after hearing this. Thinking back carefully, it seemed to be just as Xu Ning said. He nodded and said, "I really didn't pay attention to this matter. How can I go back and talk to him about it? But how can I talk about this matter? I have already arranged it."

Xu Laonian replied, "Admit your mistakes! I'll admit my mistakes when I have nothing to do."

"Admit your mistake to the child?" Sun Jiye said with a surprised look.

"So what? Why should I be afraid of my own son? Just ask my little bastard, how many times have I admitted my mistakes to him?"

Xu Ning pouted and said, "What's the point of you admitting your mistakes? You admit your mistakes this time, but you'll cheat me again next time! How many times have you cheated me and my brother?"

"Get lost, you're just talking nonsense. I just want to ask you! Did I admit my mistake to you?"

"You admit it, but you still commit the crime after admitting it. What's the point of admitting it or not?"

Xu Laonian glared and said, "I admit it is just an attitude! What do you care if I commit a crime or not?"

Sun Jiye was stunned by this powerful statement, he had never seen a father with this style, but for Xu Laonian, such style was also a good quality, because Xu Laonian had a unique personal charm.

What? Shameless!
