Return to 1983 Hunting Xing'an Mountains

Chapter 52: The noble man is flattered (Congratulations, leader! More updates for the Dogs of the North)

Xu Ning sat on the edge of the kang, digesting Xu Pao's words. He still hasn't calmed down yet.

Turning his head to look at the two uncles chatting, he felt that they were two noble men.

Our friendship wasn't that deep originally, but I don't know why.

Xu Ning always felt that these two uncles were very fond of him, and they had a feeling that they only preferred him.

Otherwise, how could he get such a big job?
  Xu Pao has many contacts, who can’t he find?
  Chang Danian would not lend him the black wolf and let him lead him to Wangxing for a siege.

What was the fight between the two of them about?

Although Xu Ning didn't fully understand it, there were some guesses in his heart.

Since he had been drinking water since he entered the house, his bladder was very full, so he went to the latrine.

The remaining two people in the room began to whisper mysteriously.

"How's it going?" Chang Danian asked.

Xu Pao nodded: "That's good. If someone else wants to put the money in his pocket, he'd better push it out."

"Well, this kid Erning is really not as badass as people say. I will definitely not be able to go up the mountain in another two years. I will have to find a good family for Heilang by then."

Xu Pao nodded silently and said after a while: "When he comes back from Wangxing, I will ask Lao Chai how he is doing."

"Row."

"You are short of money. When the time comes, I will think of ways to find a job for the security guard."

"No, he's such a good guy. He doesn't bring a fight with him wherever he goes. Don't bother."

The two brothers knew that they were not in good shape and would easily get into trouble if they led the dog up the mountain like this.

Besides, Xu Pao's children have tried to persuade him many times, and they have become impatient several times. Xu Pao cannot live too selfishly.

He planned to wait for the illness to recover, walk Qinglang a few more times, and then entrust Qinglang and several dogs to others.

When the time comes, he can also go to the provincial capital with his children to enjoy the blessings.

After all, we cannot make it difficult for our children, we must give them the opportunity to fulfill their filial piety.

If you really miss your home and dog, then come back. Anyway, it’s only over 300 miles away, so it’s convenient to take a train.

Chang Danian's thoughts were similar to his. However, his family conditions were average. He could hunt animals with a black wolf, and if he was lucky, he could even dig out a barn and hunt a bear, complete with its gallbladder.

However, even though his family's conditions are average, it still depends on who he compares with.

If compared with Wang Changhai, Li Fuqiang, the Chang brothers, and the old Xu family, they would definitely be richer than them all.

Don’t forget, Chang Dani also saved a lot of bear bile, deer antlers, deer fetuses, musk and other rare goods before he was young, and most of them were sold to support his family.

The remaining part is being kept at home. If all of it is sold, it will definitely become a million-yuan household in Qing'an Village!
  So what is he worried about?
  Worried that he is getting older, his son-in-law Li Baoquan is not caring about things, and Chang Juan has a soft and boring personality.

If something happens to him, the remaining two children must not be bullied to death and drink the northwest wind?
  After Chang Danian died in their previous life, Chang Juan and Li Baoquan sold bear bile and other items. But they could have sold it for 1 yuan, so they sold it for 6 yuan. Half a year after returning to the village, this money Just let it be stolen.

It can be said that the days that followed were quite difficult, and the children could hardly afford to pay tuition fees for school.

When Xu Ning came back from the latrine, Xu He gave him a basin of water to wash his hands. As soon as he entered the door, he saw six dishes on the Kang table.

Chicken stewed with mushrooms, pork ribs stewed with beans, cucumbers and pig ears, scrambled eggs with green onions, braised pig head, and dry-fried small yellow croaker.

Xu Ning was slightly shocked. This meal could be said to be better than what he had at home.

Because beans, cucumbers, and small yellow croakers are basically unavailable in Qing'an, Xu He must have brought them back from the provincial capital.

Winter vegetables are very expensive, and most families cannot afford them, so they eat cabbage, potatoes, radishes and pickles stored in vegetable cellars.

"Er Ning, hurry up and get on the kang." Xu Pao greeted.

Aunt Gao rubbed her hands and said with a smile: "Er Ning, we don't have any big dishes, so you can just eat and drink with your two uncles."

"Hey, I can't eat this dish normally. Madam, I can't even speak. I'm not a distinguished guest, so I can only eat two dishes."

Xu He walked into the room carrying the rice bowl and said, "Uncle Qi ordered the dishes long ago, and I prepared them in advance."

"Decided in advance?"

Xu Ning was a little confused and very flattered.

Xu Pao said with a smile: "Your uncle is asking you to do something, so why don't you let him go? Haha, hurry up and get on the kang. Don't think of yourself as an outsider. We'll wait for you later."

Xu Ning felt a little embarrassed by these words. When he reached the edge of the Kang, he took off his shoes and sat cross-legged next to Chang Danian.

"Er Ning, come here, I'll pour you some wine."

"Don't worry, auntie, I've given up drinking. Let us two drink while I eat more food." Aunt Gao was stunned and looked at her house.

Xu Pao nodded: "Don't let him drink it, what's going on?"

"Hold back from the brink." Chang Danian answered.

"Yes, he has just stepped back from the brink and is on the right track. Let him eat more food."

"Okay, Er Ning, you should eat more vegetables."

"Eh."

Aunt Gao put the wine glass in Er Ning's hand but did not take it off the table.

Because it was his first time coming to the house for dinner, whether he wanted to drink or not was another matter, but the host’s duties must be fulfilled.

When Xu He heard that he didn't drink, he turned his head and asked, "Mom, where is the barrel of mountain wine I brought back?"

Aunt Gao heard this and clapped her hands fiercely, "That's not what it is! I didn't even expect this."

She ran to the cupboard, opened the door, and took out a barrel of mountain wine.

"Er Ning, try this wine, it's like sweet water, it tastes great."

Xu He took it and said: "If there is no alcohol content, it is not considered drinking."

Xu Ning smiled and nodded: "Yeah, that's alright, I'll give it a try."

This barreled mountain wine is very popular in the Northeast because it has no alcohol content, and children drink it as sweet water.

Every New Year, families with ample pockets buy a bucket, saving their children enough to drink until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

The five people sat around the Kang table, and it was just right to sit down, so it was quite relaxing without being crowded.

The two uncles moved their chopsticks, and then Xu Ning picked up the chopsticks and started eating cucumber mixed with pig ears.

The pig ears, ribs, and pig head stew are not wild boar, but are from domestic white pigs. The taste is not as fishy as wild boar and is very delicious.

Moreover, the cucumbers here in the Northeast are crispy, quite delicious, and crunchy when chewed.

Aunt Gao saw that he was willing to eat beans and cucumbers, so she moved the vegetables towards him, fearing that he would not be able to reach them.

Xu He put it on the table and asked him if he had a girl he liked and it was time to find a partner to get married.

Xu Ning told the truth, his reputation in Qing'an was too great, and he had to slow down everything else, otherwise some good girl could give it to him.

It made the four people at the dinner table laugh.

Xu Ning had a great time eating this meal. He ate half of the plate of cucumbers and pig ears.

Xu Pao was very happy because he didn't regard himself as an outsider, which proved that he recognized his uncle.

And Xu Ning didn't expect that he would be treated like this at Xu Pao's house due to his notorious reputation.

You must know that Xu Pao's family can be regarded as a wealthy family in Qing'an as a whole. Many people go to the pole to curry favor with them, but they can't even do it.

Therefore, it was really flattering and incredible that he could receive such treatment.

But no matter what the two uncles thought, he kept this affection in his heart.

After lunch, Xu Ning and Chang Danian chatted with Xu Pao for a while.

It wasn't until about half past one that the two of them got up to go home.

Xu Pao shouted to his wife: "Go and help Qing Lang and the others get a house."

"Eh."

Xu Pao explained: "I have to give you the dog leash with my own hands, otherwise the green wolves and the others won't be able to follow you. These dogs are very stubborn."

Chang Danian nodded: "He is more tempered than my black wolf."

"Er Ning, just do what we said first. You have to stay back and stay away. Don't blame me for being impatient with you."

Xu Ning nodded: "Yes, I will remember it."

"Besides, the mountain over Wangxing is steep, so be careful when going up the mountain."

"Okay, I'll definitely pay more attention."

Xu Pao gave instructions as if to his own nephew, making Xu Ning feel full of concern.
