Return to 1983 Hunting Xing'an Mountains

Chapter 525 Xu Laonian is jealous of the business without any cost
Sun Lianfang blurted out: "Then I have to wait until my sister-in-law gives birth! Otherwise, how can I leave?"

Yang Yanqiu was in a good mood after hearing this, clapped her hands and said with a smile: "That's right, stay here for a while longer, if you stay here, your sister-in-law will have a companion, and she will have someone to accompany her wherever she goes."

She couldn't usually go out with Jin Xiaoxia because there was a lot of work to do at home and someone needed to be at home. What if someone called Sun Jishan urgently? If she couldn't answer the call, something bad could easily happen.

There is a cause for this kind of thing. Previously, there was a city in Lingshang where the leader in charge of a forest farm was warned and criticized because he did not receive a call and did not rush to the scene of the crime immediately. As a result, his future path became difficult.

Jin Xiaoxia doesn't talk much. She is educated and graduated from a technical secondary school. After giving birth to her child and weaning her, she will go to work. This kind of family is a golden rice bowl, and they can get through it safely even if they encounter major problems.

She and Sun Liansheng rarely quarreled. They would discuss things together. If they couldn't come to a conclusion, they would go to Sun Jishan or Jin Xiaoxia's father. There was always someone to help them.

At noon, Yang Yanqiu prepared eight dishes. Knowing that Xu Ning would come, there would definitely be a dish of cucumber and pig ears. The other seven were home-cooked dishes. Although Yang Yanqiu's cooking skills were not as good as Yang Shuhua's, everyone still ate with gusto. Xu Ning accompanied Sun Jishan to drink two glasses, but Guan Lei was very brave and kept pouring wine into the glass. In the end, Sun Jishan scared him.

"Hey, Lei Zi, stop drinking. I have something to do this afternoon. Try the spareribs your aunt prepared. They will be cold soon."

Guan Lei put down his glass with a red face and said with a smile: "Okay, I'll drink with you next time..."

Yang Yanqiu handed him a piece of pork ribs and said, "Leizi's alcohol tolerance has increased recently. He must have drunk more than half a catty of alcohol at such a large gathering."

"Of course he has practiced it. Besides, he is still young. When I was his age... well, there was no alcohol to drink. I brought home half a pound of alcohol, and the three of us had one cup each. It took us five or six days to finish it."

"Stop talking about the past. Everyone has a hard life."

After Yang Yanqiu finished speaking, she looked at Xu Ning and asked, "Er Ning, has the approval been approved?"

"It's approved. The contract has been signed."

Sun Jishan said, "After we open up the mountain, we will send you another batch of chain saws. We don't have new winches anymore, so you can use the old ones for now."

"Hey, that's good."

None of the four drank too much at lunch. After Yang Yanqiu, Sun Lianfang and others cleared the table, Sun Jishan, Xu Ning and others sat on the sofa and chatted for a while, and took the initiative to mention the matter of Zhang Jinbao and Xu Ning opening a furniture workshop together.

"The city is currently planning to open up a plot of land on Xishan Street for industrial development. The steel mills, wood-based panels, and chemical raw materials in our city are causing a lot of pollution and are not very profitable. We want to move them to the suburbs, but Xishan Street has a whole light industrial park. Before I went to your house for dinner, I heard that you were going to set up a furniture workshop. So why not go to Xishan Street?"

Xishan Street is not far from the city center, estimated to be about 20 miles away. Except for the rural streets which are dirt roads, the main roads in the city are all asphalt roads, making it very convenient to transport by car.

"Okay, sir, can the rent be cheaper?"

Sun Jishan said with a smile: "Let Dalong lead him to do it. The person in charge of Xishan Street is our friend."

"I see. That's settled. When my brother comes back, I'll let him take charge."

In the future, Xishan Street was renamed Xishan Industrial Park, and later renamed Xishan Building Materials City, because it was originally intended to be an industrial park, but unexpectedly a building materials market was built. It is quite famous in the city, selling wood, such as purlins, logs, various furniture, glass, doors and windows, agricultural tools, cement, tiles, steel pipes, steel bars, etc.

The reason why Sun Jishan brought up this matter was entirely because he had connections with the person in charge of Xishan Street. The words reached Sun Jishan's ears, and he happened to hear that Xu Ning wanted to renovate the furniture workshop. It was a win-win situation, so he must help arrange it.

At around 2 o'clock, Xu Ning stood up to say goodbye. Sun Jishan did not try to keep him, as he knew that Xu Ning had to go on a long journey. However, he did not ask what he was going to do, but only told him to let him know if he needed help.

He, Yang Yanqiu, Sun Liansheng and others sent them to the gate of the courtyard. Xu Ning opened the car door, turned around and said, "Uncle and Madam, when my sister-in-law gives birth, I may not be able to come over."

"Hey, stop struggling and just stay at home and prepare for your wedding. It's not a big deal..." Yang Yanqiu said.

Sun Jishan said, "Don't come over here. I guess we have to wait until you are married before we can celebrate the full month. Let's go quickly. Drive slowly on the road."

"Hey! Let's go then."

Yang Yanqiu greeted, "Yan Na, come over and play with Er Ning when you have time."

"Well, ma'am, you guys should go back quickly."

Then, the three of them got into the old Jiefang car, and the car slowly drove out of the alley, rushed into the main road, and headed towards Qing'an.

Xu Ning didn't think about looking for Lao Jin and Lao Qian, or visiting Wang Biao, Liu Tianen and Huang Lin. As he said, children who had just left home would inevitably burst into tears and complain about their grievances when they saw their relatives. He just wanted to let the three children know that it is not easy to survive outside and that they must learn a skill to make a living.

On the way, Guan Lei talked to Xu Ning about the house renovation. Although there was no need to worry about the doors, windows and furniture, the roof needed a waterproofing layer.

It had been raining for a few days, and Wang Zhongcai and Zhang Jinbao, who lived in his house, reported that the roof was leaking a little. Xu Ning told them not to worry, and that he would ask Lao Wei and others to help waterproof his house after the new house was waterproofed. He also didn't need to worry about the materials. If there was not enough waterproof cloth, he would ask Xu Long to buy some in the city...

It was already past 5 o'clock when they got home, just in time for dinner. Xu Ning, Meng Ziyan and Guan Lei threw the clothes and other things they bought on the kang in the west room. Liu Lizhen, Han Fengjiao, Liu Fenfang, Guan Hua and others gathered around to watch.

"Oh my god, this red dress is so pretty! Look at these high heels, they're shiny."

Meng Ziyan smiled and said, "Lianfang and I chose it. There is also a white shirt to wear underneath. This coat is also quite thick."

"Well, the fabric is really good. Hey, what is this?" Liu Fenfen picked up a pair of red socks and asked.

Meng Ziyan quickly snatched it away and said, "Long johns! These are long johns!"

"Oh, one for each of you." Liu Fenfang said with a smile.

Liu Lizhen frowned and said, "Erning has red autumn clothes and long trousers. I bought them for him before."

"Auntie, take a look at this hair ornament. Is it pretty?"

"pretty!"

Changing the subject, Meng Ziyan breathed a sigh of relief. She was really afraid that Liu Lizhen, Liu Fenfang and others would discover her red pantyhose. Oh my god, that would be so embarrassing!
Han Fengjiao said: "When Hu Zi and Hua get married, they can buy the same set."

Wang Hu nodded: "Okay, I'll take her to the city then."

"Who are these autumn clothes and long johns bought for? Why are they grey? Oh, there's also a pair of leather shoes..."

At this time, Xu Laonian and Wang Erli just came in after get off work. Xu Laonian took a look and said with a smile: "Is this for me?"

Xu Ning said quickly: "No, this is for Uncle Ma from Dongshan. Didn't Huzi buy you a pair of leather shoes last year?"

"Oh my god! This little bastard..."

Xu Laonian felt a little uncomfortable. He didn't say anything when he bought cloth for Ma Liu to make clothes before, but why was he buying autumn clothes, autumn pants and leather shoes for Ma Liu now? When had this kid ever bought him clothes and leather shoes? He was still his biological father!
Oh, thinking about it carefully makes me angry. Raising a son is for others to raise. How can Xu Laonian feel happy when he treats others better than his biological father? I am really jealous.

"Am I your biological father?" Xu Laonian stared blankly for two or three seconds before he uttered this sentence.

Xu Ning was prepared. He took out two big unity notes from his pocket and stuffed them into Xu Laonian's hand, saying with a smile, "Dad, why aren't you my biological father? Am I your biological son now?"

Xu Laonian held the Great Unity in his hand, feeling a little unsure. If it was two small-denomination notes, then they were definitely not his biological sons. If it was the Great Unity...

He looked down and saw that they were truly united. He immediately smiled, put his arm around Xu Ning's shoulders and said, "He must be my biological son! Hahaha, Dad is not unhappy, don't think too much. Your Uncle Ma taught you beekeeping, which is also a skill. He is half your master, so you should show respect to him!"

After saying that, Xu Laonian saw the surprised expressions on Liu Lizhen and the others' faces, and said, "Look at my old son, how sensible he is!"

Everyone in the west room burst into laughter. Liu Lizhen pushed him out of the door with gritted teeth, saying, "Get lost now. If he sees money, he's your son. If he doesn't see money, he's your little bastard. How can you be a father like this?"

Xu Laonian said shamelessly: "Ah, it's comfortable to be a father like this. A father who knows how to play the victim has money to spend! Look, my son gave me some pocket money, but you have to scold me." "Go away, all of you go to that room, set the table and get the dishes and chopsticks, and we'll eat later."

Liu Lizhen drove all the men out of the west room, leaving only a group of old women in the west room chattering away.

After they calmed down, Liu Lizhen put away Sun Lianfang's red wedding dress and other things, and Meng Ziyan's wedding dress was to be taken home.

Xu Feng wanted to play with balloons but was stopped by Liu Lizhen. She was just playing around. She had played with balloons when Xu Long got married. She blew up three balloons in succession, which scared the old woman who was washing dishes in the outer room so much that she patted her chest and her heart was pounding.

After the meal, Meng Quezi, Wang Zhongcai, Zhang Jinbao, Meng Ziyan and others left.

Xu Ning went to the west room to tidy up, folded the clothes he bought for Ma Liu and stuffed them into a cloth bag. He also went to the store to buy 10 kilograms of wine and got some rice, flour and soybean oil from home.

When he came back, he asked why Li Tielin didn't come. Liu Lizhen said that Li Tielin came for a while and then rode away on his donkey. No matter how they tried to persuade him, he didn't stay. He said he went to visit relatives in Beitun. Therefore, Li Tielin, Li Fuqiang and others did not go to the mountain to see the scene...

In the east room, Liu Lizhen called out, "Old man, smash it!"

Xu Ning put down his work, walked over, and just as he lifted the door curtain, he heard Liu Lizhen ask: "How much did you sell the big pig for?"

"I totally forgot about this! I sold it for 360 in total. Can you give some to my uncle and second aunt?"

"Oh my god, I sold a lot!"

Xu Ning said with a smile: "The person in charge of the specimen museum knows my uncle and his family, and he offered a high price."

Liu Daming asked, "How much is one pound?"

"5 cents."

"So high? Then it would be great if we could send all the wild boars we hunt in the mountains to the specimen museum."

"Haha, uncle, there are no such good things. The person in charge of the specimen museum said that from now on, we will not accept wild boars under 700 kilograms. We only want those over 700 kilograms!"

"That's a pity. I think such a high price is not better than selling small pieces of meat. Small pieces of meat only cost a few dollars..."

Xu Laonian narrowed his eyes and said, "The wild boars you hunt in the mountains are a zero-cost business. You make 1 cent if you sell them. But don't domestic pigs have to cost money? You don't even know this, and you're still doing business?"

"Brother-in-law, I just said that..."

Liu Lizhen took the thick stack of banknotes, counted out four 4-yuan notes in her hand, and handed them to Yang Shuhua, Wu Qiuxia and Han Fengjiao respectively.

The three of them took it over, and Wu Qiuxia said with a smile, "I didn't expect that his uncle could make so much money just by following him."

"Of course! My second nephew is good at playing the game of hunting, so I'll take advantage of him too." Liu Daming said with a grin.

Liu Lizhen handed the remaining 60 to Guan Lei, but he said, "Auntie, please save it for me."

"Why should I save for you? You're getting married soon. It's just that Lianfang didn't put it here. If she did, I would give it to her. Take it quickly!"

Xu Ning said, "Take it quickly."

Guan Lei nodded: "Okay."

Liu Lizhen counted the 12 big unity notes in her hand and said with a smile: "My oldest son is really capable. He can earn so much just by going out for a stroll."

Xu Laonian sat on the edge of the kang with a pout, muttering to himself: You said I don't know how to be a father, but you are also blinded by money.

Little did she know that he and Liu Lizhen were of two different personalities. His mother basically praised her eldest son in every sentence, which was unlike him, who would always work hard to help others and would not use them at all.

"After the pig litter is sold, we will distribute it again."

Wu Qiuxia waved her hand: "Your uncle doesn't want it. The pig litter has been sold. You can just keep it for yourself."

"Brother, I don't want it either. How much can pig litter be sold for? 50 yuan at most. I don't need the 10 or 8 yuan now."

Xu Laonian looked at Li Fuqiang and said, "This guy is awesome. You don't need that little bit of money, but I do! Don't give it to me!"

"Haha, okay, give them all to my uncle." Li Fuqiang laughed loudly.

"How can you be so shameless!" Liu Lizhen cursed through gritting her teeth.

"Hahaha..." Everyone burst into laughter.

The next day, just after breakfast in the morning, Li Tielin rode his donkey and stopped at the gate of Old Xu's house. Xu Ning hurried out to greet him.

"Brother Li! Come in quickly, have you eaten?"

"You're done eating. You didn't come back until late last night, right?"

"Well, it's already past 5 o'clock when we get home, come in."

Li Tielin waved his hand: "I won't go into the house. I still have to go to the 56th yard to pull wood. I just want to ask you when you will start building the house. I don't have anything to do at the moment."

"The house will be built the day after tomorrow, but I have to go out tomorrow, so my second uncle will be the only one left at home."

"Ah, that's perfect, I'll bring my brother-in-law over to help out."

"Okay, thank you, Brother Li."

"Why are you being so polite? The thirty people have already been decided. There are people from our village, Yongfeng, and Beitun. Let my brother-in-law take care of them, and I will just drive the car and haul the wood."

Xu Ning said with a smile: "Can your brother-in-law take care of it? If not, let him drive the car to pull the wood, and you can just wait for him to drive the car after he gets familiar with it. How about that?"

"That's fine..." Li Tielin looked at him wearing hiking clothes and asked, "Are you going to the mountains?"

"Well, let's go to Dongshan to give my uncle some things and take a look at the Lengchang."

Li Tielin said: "Then I'll take you there."

"Oh, no need. We can just ride over there. Just go and do your thing."

"Then I'm leaving. I'm a bit anxious."

"Okay, let's drink when I come back!"

"Eh!"

Li Tielin grabbed the car keys and got into the old Jiefang and drove away.
