Return to 1983 Hunting Xing'an Mountains

Chapter 456: Sweet little mouth, no humanity for the opposite sex

Can a repair shop make money? The answer is yes.

Since the reform and opening up, many stalls have sprung up on the streets. In the early years, they were strictly managed, but in recent years, basically no one is in charge. As long as you have the tools in your hands, you can set up a stall at a crossroads, train station, bus station, or street door.

Nowadays, a tailor shop, several agricultural product shops, and even half a bicycle shop have popped up in the small cross street. Why half a shop? The purchase channels are irregular.

For example, goods from the provincial capital are scattered to the surrounding counties, and after being modified and repainted, they become 98% new bicycles. No tickets are required, only money is required. Business is naturally prosperous, but the risk is a bit higher. However, those who can open such a store must have the confidence, otherwise who would dare to open a store so blatantly?
Xu Ning was not sure whether Liu Xuemin had this confidence, but since he, Hu Zhibin and Lao Qian were doing business together, he definitely had this confidence.

By then, both the street and the city will be flourishing, and two shops will open at the same time. As long as there are enough motorcycle engines, the business of riding motorcycles and donkeys backwards will definitely be in short supply.

Although this business cannot last long and maybe someone will imitate it in three to five months, Xu Ning's intention is to let Liu Xuemin take advantage of this trend and open a motorcycle parts factory and a car modification and repair shop. Xu Ning has already discussed these things with Liu Xuemin, and even if he didn't understand them at the time, he would understand them after thinking about them later.

When the car drove into Taiping, Xu Ning first delivered the three feet of red cloth to Lao Deng. Generally speaking, red cloth was purchased for doing business, and this kind of thing could not be delayed and had to be delivered before dark. Lao Deng also gave him the money for the deer whip and the red cloth, and Xu Ning accepted it without hesitation.

It was normal for villagers to send gifts to each other, but the most basic rule was to get paid after the goods arrived. Otherwise, who would send gifts to others in the future? Lao Deng was a very upright person. He would do things in a very precise and accurate manner, and he would count the goods on the spot without any delay.

At 11 o'clock, Lao Xu's house was bustling with people.

In the east room, Xu Laonian, Sun Jiye, Chai Bing and Wang Erli sat around a table playing mahjong. Smoke was floating in the air, foreshadowing that the war was filled with smoke and was going to be quite fierce.

In the west room, Sun Lianfang, Chai Hongyan, Guan Hua, Wang Hu, Sun Lianjun and others were sitting cross-legged on the kang, holding playing cards in their hands, throwing the cards with their arms, glaring and shouting. The fighting situation was not much worse than that in the east room.

Liu Lizhen, Han Fengjiao, Yang Shuhua and others sat outside the door, chatting idly, looking into the outer room, and occasionally getting up and going into the house to add some fire to the stove.

There were two large pots in the outer room that were steaming. The pot in the east room was stewing two deer heads and deer hooves, and the pot in the west room was stewing deer intestines, deer heart, deer liver, deer kidneys, and deer lungs. In addition, the pot in the east wing was also stewing deer meat and deer bones. The soup from this pot would be saved for later to make some deer offal soup...

Wang Shujuan walked out of the alley with a handful of green onions and coriander in her hand. Although the vegetables in the back garden have not grown yet, they are still edible.

The scallions are long and thin, just right for dipping in the sauce. The coriander is about five or six centimeters long, and it is just enough to be chopped and put in the deer offal soup to enhance the flavor. In two or three days, the leeks can be harvested. The leeks grow well, and if they are planted at the end of May, they can be harvested several times a year.

At this time, a Dongfeng car stopped at the gate of the courtyard, and then Xu Ning and Li Fuqiang jumped out of the car and walked into the courtyard.

Just as Liu Lizhen and others turned their heads to look, a figure rushed past them. It was Xu Feng!

"Second brother! What delicious food are you buying?"

Xu Feng grinned and threw himself at Xu Ning, grabbing his hand.

"You look delicious to me. Aren't there enough snacks at home for you?"

Xu Feng said sweetly, "Isn't this the one you bought more fragrant?"

"What a bunch of bullshit, it's all the same."

Although Xu Ning said this, he was quite happy in his heart. Who doesn't like to hear flattery?
Liu Lizhen saw her old son approaching her and asked, "Is everything done?"

"Yeah, it went pretty smoothly... Is that venison stewed in the pot?"

"The venison is being stewed in the lower room, and the deer head is in the pot in the east room..."

"Have you cut off the deer ears? If you don't cut them off, they will definitely melt in the stew."

"It has been cut a long time ago. You two can go into the house and wash up. We will eat later."

Xu Ning went into the house, washed his hands, walked around the east and west rooms, and came out and asked, "Mom, why didn't Yan come over?"

"The four of them went to her grandmother's house. I heard her grandmother is dying."

Xu Ning frowned, "The letter from last night?"

"This morning, not long after you left, I asked Biao to go and greet your aunt. They all left the other day. Lei Zi said that when they came over, they saw that the door of his house was closed. Wait for them to come back and take a look..."

"Row."

The reason why Xu Ning frowned was that whenever her grandmother missed her grandson, she would pretend to be sick, and then the whole Meng family would have to go over and stay for two days. Xu Ning had experienced this twice before after she and Meng Ziyan got married, but at that time Xu Ning was too arrogant and was too lazy to step into her grandmother's house, so she only went there once when she got married.

As long as it is a harmonious and happy family, there must be an old child who takes the lead, making the family atmosphere full of joy. However, a sarcastic old person will make the family atmosphere tense and solidified, and members will make things difficult for each other, and the atmosphere will naturally not be very good.

The battle in the two rooms was coming to an end. Yang Shuhua and Wang Shujuan first put the deer offal into a large basin. After washing it with warm water, Han Fengjiao and Wu Qiuxia took the large basin to the east wing and cut the deer intestines, deer heart, deer meat, etc. into pieces. After boiling for a while, they could eat it.

Wang Shujuan pinched the kneaded dough into pieces, rolled them into thin pancakes, and stuck them to the edge of the big pot to fry. The fire in the stove pit should not be too strong, so it should be baked slowly over a low fire so that it will not get burnt...

At this time, the four people who were playing mahjong in the east room got up to clean up the mess. Xu Laonian had a smile on his face. It seemed that Sun Jiye and Chai Bing had lost a lot, while Wang Erli had a calm look on his face. He didn't win much, only more than ten yuan, while Xu Laonian won more than seventy yuan.

There are a total of sixteen rounds of cards for the four winds. A win or loss of about eighty yuan for a mahjong game with two or three pieces is not much. It's all because Xu Laonian had a good idea today. He almost won three games with one hand.

"Old man! Come, Dad will give you two big bills, take them and spend them."

Xu Laonian was quite generous. He took out two Great Unity banknotes from a stack of money and handed them to Xu Ning.

Xu Ning stared at the banknotes and waved his hands hastily: "Oh, I don't want it! If I take this twenty yuan, I will have to give you sixty later, right? Forget it."

"Fuck you, you don't even want the money. Who gave you this bad habit? Take it now!"

Xu Laonian leaned in and whispered, "Save it for me first, or your mother will take it away from me. Oh, be good!"

Xu Ning frowned and said, "I'll deduct five dollars for the handling fee."

"Hey! Look at you, I gave you thirty lines, right? Go on!"

Xu Laonian counted out two five-yuan bills and stuffed them directly into Xu Ningkua's pocket. Wang Erli, who was standing next to him, followed suit and put money into Wang Hu's pocket. Chai Bing and Sun Jiye looked at each other and smiled, sighing that they were really a family!
"Dad, why don't you pinch it for me?" Xu Feng asked.

Xu Laonian secretly put away the money and said, "I borrowed this money from your mother. I have to hand it over later..."

"Tsk, I don't believe it!"

"Don't make a fuss. Can I give you five bucks? Don't tell your mom."

Xu Feng spread out his hands: "Ten dollars! Otherwise, tell my mom."

"……OK!"

Three or five minutes later, everyone had washed their hands. The two tables were placed with bowls, chopsticks and wine glasses. With such a delicious meal at noon, one must have a few drinks.

Two large pots of deer offal soup were brought to the table, and each table had two plates of bear oil pancakes, which were very chewy. There were also venison fried with shredded potatoes, fried bean sprouts, and venison shreds fried with sauce, paired with the deer offal soup. This little life was simply amazing!

Xu Feng, Wang Biao, Li Mantang and the others were eating with their mouths full of oil. Xu Ning made three rolls and two bowls of offal soup mixed with venison. The food was topped with cilantro, chopped green onions and oil, which looked delicious!

After dinner, Xu Ning went to the back garden to take a look at the doe. The deer was not dead, but it just cried from time to time, causing the dogs to bark continuously.

"Biao, take this small basin to your uncle Jiang's house." Liu Lizhen said.

"Okay! Auntie, my uncle Jiang is not at home, right?"

"He went out with your uncle to sell meat. Xiaoqiu is staying at home alone."

"Okay! I'll go there by myself."

Liu Tianen originally wanted to go with him, but Wang Biao didn't even mention it. He could only mutter helplessly: "There are opposite sex but no humanity..."
-
Xu Laonian, Sun Jiye and others sat on the edge of the kang drinking tea. The longer they sat, the more they felt there was a thorn under their buttocks. Finally, Xu Laonian suggested, "How about we go to the mountain to shoot birds?" "I think so!" Chai Bing nodded immediately.

Xu Ning, Li Fuqiang, Wang Hu, Guan Lei and others were standing outside the door holding axes and saws. They were about to go to the old forest to fetch firewood. Hearing this, Xu Ning came into the house and said, "Then let's go together. We can drive two cars."

"Okay!"

"Give it to the old man. We have to catch some sparrows today!"

Then a group of people got up and rushed out of the house, came to the gate of the yard and got into two cars.

At the foot of Nanshan Mountain, the crowd was divided into two groups. Xu Laonian, Chai Bing and others held old workers' guns and hunted birds and greyhounds on the mountainside, while Xu Ning and others dragged firewood into the car. They hunted from one o'clock until four o'clock before going home.

Sun Jiye and Chai Bing shot more than ten birds in total, Xu Laonian shot two graylings, and Xu Ning shot five sparrows with a slingshot while pulling firewood. In total, they shot more than thirty birds and three graylings.

After returning home, Xu Laonian took the lead in roasting birds and sparrows, while the three greyhounds were fired by Yang Shuhua. There are many types of these birds, including white and yellow feathers...

Xu Ning only knew four or five species of birds, and he didn't know the names of the rest. It was summer in Northeast China and the birds had all flown back. It was normal that he couldn't recognize any of them because there were so many species!

"Uncle San's shooting skills are quite accurate!"

Sun Jiye said modestly: "It's not as good as yours. Will you all go to Wangxing tomorrow?"

Li Fuqiang shook his head: "I won't go. I have to go to work. It's been a long time since I last reported for work."

Guan Lei said, "Hu Zi and I have to stay home to do some work, so let my brother go by himself."

Chai Bing frowned and said, "The concrete of the house has already been poured. What are you doing at home?"

“There are quite a few odd jobs here…”

Xu Ning said: "If they don't want to go, forget it. Come with me to protect the farmers in autumn."

"That's fine. Hey, isn't it said that your heroic deeds should be reported in the newspaper? Why haven't you received any news yet?"

Xu Ning smiled and said, "They say two or three days, but when we say two or three days, it's like inviting you to dinner some other day. We can't tell when it will be."

"I estimate that there should be news this month. As long as the provincial government completes the case, it will definitely be reported in the newspapers! Last time, reporters from the city and provincial newspapers came. The things reported cannot be false."

"Uncle San is right. Don't worry. What belongs to us is ours. No one can take it away from us."

Xu Laonian said with a smile: "As long as it is reported in the newspaper, I will definitely know that my son is still quite capable..."

Xu Ning was horrified: "Dad, please don't praise me, I don't have much money left in my pocket."

"Oh fuck, am I such a snob in your eyes?"

The room was silent. Xu Laonian awkwardly picked up the wine glass and said, "Hurry up and take a sip to soothe my sore throat, otherwise I'll feel uncomfortable!"

"Hahaha! Big brother, come here..."

The next day, after breakfast.

Xu Ning put on clean clothes and put his belt and leggings into the cloth bag, and threw the 56 into the car. This time he followed Chai Bing to Wangxing, and he must take a walk in the mountains, because tomorrow the Sun family will go to Wangxing. According to the normal process of meeting the in-laws, the Sun family may not be able to stay overnight, but what kind of person is Chai Liangyu?

He couldn't let Old Sun's family go, so they had to stay for a few more days to get to know each other better.

At 7:, everyone escorted Chai Bing, Sun Jiye and others out of the hospital. Xu Laonian, Liu Lizhen, Han Fengjiao and others stood there and waved to them.

"Third brother, come over when you have time!"

"I know, auntie, go back quickly, I have to send it back to Erning in a couple of days."

"Okay! I'll stew some drunken duck for you then."

Chai Bing heard this and smiled, "Okay!"

Sun Jiye glanced at Sun Lianfang who was standing in the crowd and said, "Brother and sister-in-law, Lianfang is a bother to you guys."

"Oh, why bother? They are our own children." Xu Laonian waved his hand.

"San'er, if you have nothing to do, come over and play..."

"Okay, go back quickly, sister-in-law."

The Xu family really had nothing to give the two of them. They only gave Chai Bing a female deer, while Sun Jiye got nothing. There was nothing they could do about it, because the Sun family was richer and more powerful than the Xu family. If it wasn't something rare, they couldn't give it to them. So it was better not to take anything.

Besides, Sun Lianfang is planning to live in Old Xu's house permanently. What could be more valuable than this favor?
Xu Ning instructed Guan Lei and Wang Hu, "You two go to the construction site and take a closer look. When Uncle Meng comes back, go visit him. Got it?"

"I know! Second brother."

Afterwards, Sun Liansheng waved to Chai Hongyan and said, "See you tomorrow!"

Chai Hongyan nodded calmly. Their relationship had warmed up during the past two days at Old Xu's house. According to Guan Lei: This shameless guy was holding hands secretly, he was even more shameless than his sister!
Sun Liansheng followed Sun Jiye into the car. Xu Ning, Chai Bing, Chai Baotong and Chai Hongyan squeezed into another car. Then the two cars drove out of the courtyard gate one after the other and headed east. Only when the rear of the car could no longer be seen did Xu Laonian, Liu Lizhen and others turn around and go into the house.

As soon as she turned around, Sun Lianfang quickly caught up with Yang Shuhua and Wang Shujuan, grinning and saying, "Sister-in-law, I want to learn how to knit sweaters. Can you teach me?"

"Okay, how come you're looking for ideas to knit a sweater?"

Sun Lianfang said casually: "My child will definitely have to wear it in the future! As a mother, I have to knit it myself..."

Guan Lei rolled his eyes and said, "What are you talking about? We haven't even decided on a date yet, you're really thinking long-term."

"Tsk, I'm happy with it!" Sun Lianfang caught up with Liu Lizhen again and asked, "Auntie, Second Aunt, when did my brother and Huzi set a date?"

Liu Lizhen said: "That will have to wait until the new house is finished with beams, probably in September or October."

"Ah, have all the things been prepared?" Sun Lianfang was very concerned about this matter.

"The new cotton has been prepared. We will make new bedding when we have time. Lianfang, you are really concerned about this."

Sun Lianfang said jokingly, "I want to learn the steps first, so that Lei Zi and I don't mess things up when we get married."

"Haha, what's the matter? Uncle and Auntie are here to worry about you, you just need to do what you are supposed to do."

Sun Lianfang's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she said with a smile, "Thank you, uncle and aunt, second uncle, second aunt, and my eldest sister-in-law!"

"This child has such a sweet mouth."

Xu Feng entered the house, picked up her schoolbag, and was about to leave with Wang Biao and the others when she heard this and said with a grin, "My sister-in-law Fang is so sweet, even sweeter than canned water!"

"Look how good Feng'er is at praising people. Let's play skipping rubber rope when she comes back in the evening." Sun Lianfang said with a smile.

"Yeah, let's go!"
