Return to 1983 Hunting Xing'an Mountains

Chapter 469 What kind of person are you? You are a person who can't sit still
Liu Daming and Wang Hu arrived late and did not see Xu Laonian and Wang Erli's appearance. They asked what they were like, and Xu Ning said, "Go inside and take a look, you won't be able to see them later."

Then, everyone walked towards the gate together, and Old Wei, who had been silent the whole time, heard Xu Ning say, "Uncle Wei, I'll fix the fence for you tomorrow."

"Oh, forget it. I can clean it up by myself. It won't take much more work. You guys go home and ask Zhang Yinshan to come over and take a look."

"Okay, sorry for the trouble, Uncle Wei."

"It's nothing. Just don't worry about your father and your second uncle. Go back quickly. I still have to light the fire."

After saying this, Lao Wei turned around and went home.

Xu Ning turned around and ordered, "Biao, ask your sister Fang to drive you to Zhang Yinshan on the donkey."

"Brother, I know where Zhang Yinshan's home is."

Wang Biao bared his teeth and said, "Sister Fang, I was thinking of sitting for a while. You are much more stable than my uncle when riding a donkey. Look at what you did to my father's face. It looks like a ghost painting!"

Xu Ning scolded, "What nonsense are you talking about! Go quickly, big brother, help the donkey upside down and see if there is anything broken."

Sun Lianfang stepped on the accelerator and drove Wang Biao and Liu Tianen away. Li Fuqiang and Guan Lei helped the fallen donkey up. Xu Ning mainly checked the tires, engine and oil pipes, and said with a smile, "Nothing happened."

Li Fuqiang said: "This thing is quite durable."

"What do you think? It's more useful than a donkey!"

Xu Ning pointed at the broken wooden fence and said, "How can a donkey break the fence by kicking it? It would take a lot of strength."

While they were chatting, they had already pushed the donkey into the yard. Li Fuqiang stopped it and said, "Don't let my uncle ride this thing in the future. Look at what they have done to them..."

Xu Ning shook his head: "My words are not effective."

Chai Bing asked: "Why is it that Second Uncle is riding in Uncle's car? Why aren't Feng'er, Biao and Tian'en riding in it?"

Xu Ning explained: "They are all people with good memories. Feng'er was thrown into the mountains by my dad for a long time before, and was almost taken away by a black bear. Biao and Tian'en were riding on the tractor driven by my dad and fell into a ditch a few days ago. Their bodies were covered with stinky mud!"

Chai Bing nodded: "You really need to remember it."

Li Fuqiang asked with a smile: "Why does Second Uncle have no memory?"

"My second uncle is a man of honor. He will remember our friendship and it's embarrassing to refuse."

Liu Daming and Wang Hu finally chased them to the outer room. After seeing the faces of Xu Laonian and Wang Erli, their heads seemed to be hit by something.

"Brother-in-law, how did you open it? How did you manage to get on the fence?"

Xu Laonian said sternly, "Don't ask nonsense questions."

Liu Lizhen got excited immediately after hearing that, and pointed at him and cursed: "How can you still drive? Your brother-in-law got kicked in the head by a donkey! Just do this! Let everyone in the village know that you, Xu Laonian, are an expert at riding a donkey. From now on, if anyone's donkey is disobedient, they will have to ask you to train it. You are an expert at training donkeys! Who wouldn't give a thumbs up when hearing Xu Laonian training a donkey? Everyone should praise Xu Laonian for being able to ride a donkey and train a donkey..."

After hearing all this slander, Xu Laonian lowered his head and forgot to wash his face as he stood in front of the washbasin.

Wang Erli, who was standing at the door, covered his head with a clean towel with one hand, but he couldn't bear to listen any longer.

"Sister-in-law, don't talk about my eldest brother. He didn't mean it."

Liu Lizhen squinted at him and sneered, "Haha, we are brothers no matter what. He treated you like this and you still defend him? Oh, I don't care about you two brothers, do whatever you want."

Han Fengjiao came over and took her arm, saying, "Sister-in-law, calm down. Don't be like them. We still have to eat later."

"They are in the mood to eat..."

At this time, Xu Ning came in with a smile and said, "Dad, wash your face quickly. What are you thinking about?"

Xu Laonian pouted and buried his face in the basin, rubbing his face while muttering, "Why are you pretending to be a good person?"

Fortunately, Liu Lizhen didn't hear this, otherwise she would have been scolded again.

"Uncle, please go into the house and wait for a while."

Wang Erli waved his hands: "I'm fine, just a little bleeding."

Xu Feng bared his teeth and said, "Second Uncle, have you learned your lesson this time? Don't mess around with my dad from now on."

"Hey, your father and I are brothers. Can I not step forward when he has something to do?"

The reason why Wang Erli got into the car reluctantly just now was because there was no one in Xu Laonian's car and he was afraid that Xu Laonian would be embarrassed because of his face, so he didn't expect such a thing to happen.

Xu Laonian hurriedly rubbed his face and washed his head. He wiped his hair with a towel while lifting the door curtain and walked into the house. He coughed twice and said, "Brother, I am sorry for this matter."

"Okay, big brother, you didn't do it on purpose. You have two small cuts on your face. Let Zhang Yinshan apply some medicine later."

"Well, Lao San, let's smoke. It's so boring to just sit there."

Chai Bing took out a cigarette from his pocket and said, "Uncle, take this. I picked up this peony on the table in the restaurant this afternoon."

"This is a good cigarette...Have you signed the contract?"

Liu Daming nodded: "It's done, brother-in-law. It's not as weird as you say. It only took me more than ten minutes from the time I signed the contract to the time I left the office building. I wasn't nervous, and I wasn't excited at all."

"What do you know? You were led in by someone. Try it yourself if you go in."

Xu Laonian struck a match, turned around and lit a cigarette, and finally lit his own cigarette when the match was all gone. He took two puffs and said, "Did you get the certificate back?"

"Oh my god! Look at my son's certificate. Hahahaha, there are two big stamps. It looks so bright just by looking at it."

Liu Lizhen's laughter came from the west room, and Han Fengjiao said, "Sister-in-law, this has to be framed, right?"

This certificate had never touched Liu Lizhen's hand since she got it back, because they were lighting a fire and making dumplings in the outer room, so it had been kept in the west room. Liu Lizhen only remembered it after she entered the room and scolded Xu Laonian. She picked it up and took a look at it, and her heart was immediately filled with joy!

"Then it must be framed! Shuhua, why are you still crying?"

Yang Shuhua held Li Fuqiang's certificate in her hands. Before she could cry, she quickly took the certificate away and sobbed, "Auntie, I never thought he could get a certificate. Isn't this just happiness?"

"Hey, wipe your tears quickly, it's a happy day. Except for some blind people making trouble, our family must be happy!"

"OK."

When Xu Laonian heard that the certificate was in Liu Lizhen's hand, he didn't bother to show off. Just as he was trying hard to find a topic to talk about, he saw Sun Lianfang riding a donkey and stopped at the door.

Wang Biao and Zhang Yinshan jumped down from the left and right guardrails, while Liu Tianen and Li Mantang jumped up from the truck bed and landed on the ground. This smooth process made Xu Laonian and Wang Erli very jealous. If they could have stopped and rode the donkey backwards at that time, how awesome it would have been!
Just imagine the streets are full of people, it will definitely steal the show!

"Go out and greet him quickly, your Uncle Zhang is coming."

Xu Ning and Wang Hu stood up to greet him. When they reached the door, Zhang Yinshan came into the courtyard carrying the medicine box. The dogs of the gang were barking excitedly. Xu Ning stepped out of the door and shouted twice. After the dogs stopped barking, he smiled and said, "Uncle Zhang is here."

"How is your second uncle?"

Liu Lizhen came out of the west room and said, "Come and take a look. His face is covered in blood." "Okay, sister-in-law, let me take a look."

After Zhang Yinshan entered the room, he was not surprised at all when he saw Wang Erli's appearance. He had seen the world before, so he said, "Second brother, let go of your hand."

Wang Erli let go of his hand, and Zhang Yinshan said with a smile: "It's no big deal, just like the last time my elder brother broke his head, it will heal in two days after applying the medicine."

Xu Laonian said with a smile: "Oh my god, I hope nothing happened. I was so scared."

At this moment, Liu Lizhen had calmed down. She was not too angry when she heard this, but just glanced at him out of the corner of her eye.

Xu Ning came forward and said, "Uncle Zhang, my second uncle can't have scars, right?"

Zhang Yinshan said: "No, it's mainly because the abrasion is a bit big and it will heal in two or three days."

Everyone knew that, and since there were outsiders present, they no longer had the intention to tease.

Then, Zhang Yinshan opened the medicine box and took out gauze and medical alcohol...

The wound was very painful when medical alcohol was applied to it. Wang Erli grimaced and endured the pain until the wound was disinfected. After Zhang Yinshan finished bandaging him, Chai Bing took out the peony and handed it to him.

Zhang Yinshan was slightly startled when he saw the cigarette box, and nodded to Chai Bing to take the cigarette. Xu Ning introduced him, "Uncle Zhang, this is my third brother Chai Bing, his family is from Wangxing."

"Ah! I've heard of Wangxing Lao Chai's family!"

Zhang Yinshan smiled, took out a match from his pocket and lit it for Chai Bing. He took a puff of cigarette and asked, "I heard that Wangxing mainly produces garden ginseng? How is the market now?"

Xu Laonian pulled his arm and said, "Sit down and chat. We can eat here in the evening."

Chai Bing said with a smile: "It depends on how old the ginseng is. Two-year-old ginseng is definitely cheap, while ten-year-old ginseng is definitely expensive."

Zhang Yinshan turned around and said, "I won't eat here tonight. The food is ready at home. My wife's younger brother's brother-in-law is coming over. I have to have a drink with him."

Xu Laonian nodded and said, "Then I won't keep you here. Let's drink again some other day. Did you inquire about the ginseng in the garden and do you want to buy some?"

Zhang Yinshan nodded quickly: "Well, we can't afford wild ginseng, so I thought of getting some garden ginseng to make wine. The medicinal properties are a bit weaker, but it's still ginseng."

Xu Ning continued, "It is indeed ginseng, but if you want to make it yourself, you might as well buy some ready-made ginseng wine. My third brother has a winery that specializes in brewing garden ginseng."

Zhang Yinshan pinched his cigarette and suddenly realized: "Ah, then this..."

Xu Laonian waved his hand and said, "Stop talking about this and that. I'll go get your Uncle Zhang a bottle to taste. If you're satisfied, and want to continue drinking, go find the third brother to buy some. We're all family members, and the third brother can't charge you more!"

Xu Ning certainly didn't say anything. Ever since he started hunting in the mountains, whenever the dogs were injured, they would go to Zhang Yinshan. Sometimes Zhang Yinshan would give them some medicine or anthelmintic, and he never asked for money.

If Xu Ning insisted on giving it to him, he would have to struggle a bit. Sometimes he would accept it, sometimes he would not. The most important thing was that although Zhang Yinshan was a barefoot doctor, he specialized in treating humans and had never treated dogs. For example, the medicine for external deworming for dogs was brought back by Zhang Yinshan from the city, and he did not make a penny.

Xu Ning rummaged through boxes and took out a bottle of ginseng wine, put it on the medicine box and said, "Uncle Zhang, try it first. My dogs are all depending on you this winter."

The second half of the sentence was directed to Chai Bing, letting him know the relationship between Zhang Yinshan and the Xu family.

After Chai Bing understood what was going on, he said, "No problem. My uncle has spoken. I will definitely give it to you at the cost price."

"Okay, then how can I contact you?"

"You can just call Wangxing directly. My eldest brother is the village party secretary. It's better to mention Erning than to mention me."

Zhang Yinshan laughed when he heard this, "Haha, Er Ning and Wang Xing are so useful?"

Chai Bing praised: "It works! If I need help, it may not work if I ask my eldest brother, but if Er Ning wants to do something, my eldest brother will agree directly without listening to anything!"

"Ah, Erning is a traveler, and has friends all over the world."

"Then what else is there to say..."

No one told Zhang Yinshan about Xu Ning's matchmaking for Chai Hongyan and Sun Lianjun. Such things should not be talked about casually. Chai Bing and Xu Ning had one thing in common, which was that they would never publicize things that had not been fully implemented.

Zhang Yinshan chatted for a while in the house, then put the ginseng wine into the medicine box and left. Xu Laonian showed him the utmost respect, and he personally sent him to the door and chatted with him for a while at the door.

When he returned to the house, Liu Lizhen didn't even glance at him. She just held the lid and put the dumplings in the pot. Wu Qiuxia added firewood to the stove. They couldn't just put one pot of dumplings in for so many people, so Han Fengjiao put the dumplings in the big pot in the west room. Yang Shuhua and Wang Shujuan were cutting cold dishes, while Guan Hua, Xu Feng and others were picking up bowls and chopsticks in the house...

Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, Xu Laonian ducked into the house and said, "Old man, how about riding the donkey upside down? Is it okay?"

Xu Ning teased, "I thought you went out to take a look, but you didn't even take a look?"

"Get lost, stop making small talk. Go buy two cans of food for your uncle later. My brother has done his best for me, and I can't let him down."

"Hahaha..." Everyone in the room laughed.

Wang Erli waved his hand and said, "Buy whatever you want. I'm buying it for the kids. I don't want to eat that stuff."

"Then what do you want to eat? Big brother will buy it for you!"

Wang Erli bared his teeth and said, "Brother, I want to eat dragon meat."

"Get lost, you are such a scoundrel. Where can I get you a piece of dragon meat?"

Chai Bing said with a smile: "Uncle, there is dragon meat in the sky and donkey meat on the ground. Since I can't eat dragon meat, I can give some donkey meat to my second uncle to satisfy his craving."

Xu Ning clapped his hands and said, "That's not bad! My third brother is right. If you can't get dragon meat, can you get donkey meat? Dad, this shouldn't be possible with your ability."

Li Fuqiang nodded heavily: "What else can I say? My uncle's ability to get things done is quite strong!"

When these people praised him, Xu Laonian's tail was lifted up to the sky. He sat on the edge of the kang and looked forward to it with a smile, saying: "Okay, I'll give you some donkey meat one day!"

"Brother-in-law, can't you wait until my second brother recovers from his injury before you do it?"

"Am I that kind of person?" Xu Laonian asked with his head tilted and a proud look on his face.

At this time, the dumplings in the outer room were ready. Liu Lizhen brought the dumplings into the house and sneered: "What kind of person are you?"

Xu Ning took over the conversation: "You are a person who can't sit still!"

"Hahaha……"

This was Xu Ning's natural reaction, because this line would be the theme song of the future TV series "Liu Laogen". Just like the 180 yuan per cup of Palace Jade Liquor, it was deeply rooted in the minds of every Northeasterner. As long as someone said the first line, someone would immediately follow with the second line.

But Xu Laonian and others had never heard of it, but it was also quite funny. Laonian glared at Xu Ning but dared not say anything, because Liu Lizhen was staring at him sideways at the table. If he dared to do anything rash, he would definitely be rewarded with a slap in the face!

Now Chai Bing and Old Xu's family are on close terms, and Liu Lizhen doesn't treat him as an outsider. When it comes time to deal with Xu Laonian, she will definitely show no mercy.

Afterwards, dishes and dumplings were served on the two tables. Everyone sat around the table. Xu Laonian looked at the dumplings stuffed with leeks and eggs and felt a little craving for wine. As the saying goes, the more dumplings and wine you drink, the more you want. If Xu Laonian was not allowed to drink some wine to relieve his fatigue, he would feel uneasy.
