Return to 1983: Starting from hunting in the mountains

Chapter 61 He hasn’t done anything yet
  Lu Jiansheng reminded worriedly.

Don't eat this meat randomly.

"okay, I get it."

There was still some blush on Bai Ruoxi's face. She just learned from Lu Jiansheng that it was because of eating leopard meat. As for whether it was true or not, it didn't matter. After all, Lu Jiansheng was her man.

……

At about eight o'clock in the night, Lu Jiansheng planned to go to the county town to sell the leopard skin tomorrow and had to get up early, so the family of four went to bed early.

In the early 1980s, in this rural area where there was no electricity and no entertainment, going to bed at eight o'clock was already very late.

However, at the end of the village, Lu Chengcai's family lived.

At this time, there was still a fire in the main room.

Lu Chengcai went to the county seat early this morning. He has not returned from the county seat at this time.

However, Liu Hongying couldn't help but feel happy when she thought that the cotton shoes she made could be sold for money.

Wang Shanming from Xiaowangzhuang is a rich man. Not only does his family raise a donkey, but his daughter is also married to the county town. I heard that he is also a worker at a food station and has an iron rice bowl. Everyone in the surrounding villages would envy him.

Lu Chengcai had some friendship with him when he was the production team leader. He found out that he was going to the county town to see his daughter, so he made an appointment to go with him early this morning.

"Why haven't you come back so late?"

She was stunned.

With a gloomy face, he walked towards Liu Hongying, glared at Liu Hongying fiercely, then suddenly stretched out his hand and pulled her into his arms.

"Didn't you go to the county town to sell shoes? Why don't you know how to buy some delicious food back? How long has it been since your family has eaten meat?"

Liu Hongying saw five complete pairs of cotton shoes tied with hemp rope in the morning brought back.

For this reason, early this morning, before Lu Chengcai left, she handed all the meat tickets she had saved to Lu Chengcai.

But I saw that Lu Chengcai didn't buy anything delicious, and his hands were empty. It was discouraging to see him! !

"What's wrong? Didn't it sell? Did it cost too much?"

It was Lu Chengcai who came back.

Lu Chengcai was angry.

Lu Chengcai's feet went weak and he almost fell to the ground.

At this time, a noise was heard outside.

Her eyes lit up and she quickly looked outside the yard.

Liu Hongying complained: "I have followed you for so many years, I have given birth to a son for you, and I have been making cotton shoes for you day and night these days. How hard has it been for me? Even if you don't eat meat, you have to buy something when you go to the city!"

"Eat, eat, eat, you know how to eat. Didn't you just eat meat two days ago? Why are you so greedy? If you don't have money, you will eat shit!"

Liu Hongying knew that it was a long way to the county seat, but Lu Chengcai set out before dawn this morning, and even caught a ride on Wang Shanming's donkey cart from Xiaowangzhuang in the south.

In order to make money, she has been making cotton shoes day and night these days. She has no time to visit each other, and her hands are almost bald. She hopes that Lu Chengcai will go to the county town and come back from selling cotton shoes, and buy two kilograms of meat. Reward her.

Liu Hongying was sitting alone by the fire, waiting anxiously.

"Why is it so expensive? No one even asked!"

Lu Chengcai became more and more angry as he talked.

It's so embarrassing!

He got on Wang Shanmin's donkey cart and arrived at the county town at around ten o'clock. He came to the farmer's market in the county town specifically because there were so many people here. He just had a few pairs of cotton shoes hanging on his body and looked around at the city. Man, he was too embarrassed to start selling!
  he wondered.

Since Lu Jiansheng has made so much money selling shoes, I think this thing should be quite popular.

Even if he doesn't have to hawk, people will come to buy.

however.

He had been waiting for more than two hours, and no one even asked!

Lu Chengcai had no choice but to shout at the top of his lungs. He kept shouting for another two hours, but still no one came.

He just stood outside the farmer's market, shouting, and the people coming and going looked at him like a fool.

This is simply rubbing his pride to the ground! !

Lu Chengcai has always been the captain of the production team.

I'm used to being aloof in the village.

How can I bear this? !

I was so angry right now that I was ready to go back.

I clearly had a good discussion with Wang Shanming when I came here.
  As a result, we couldn't get on the donkey cart when we went back.
  Wang Shanming's daughter stayed with him in the county town for one night, so Lu Chengcai had no choice but to walk back from the county town by himself.

This walk is from day to night,
  Lu Chengcai left home in a hurry in the morning. He didn't have time to put money on him, so he didn't take it seriously. He originally thought about buying shoes, eating in the county town, and going to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy something and see Lu Jianhai, who was an apprentice.

But he is penniless, how can he be old? I could only walk home from the county seat hungry. His feet were shaking as he walked, and the cold wind made his face turn purple.
  If he hadn't held his breath and the moon was still bright today, he might not have been able to walk back.

At this time, as soon as Lu Chengcai returned home, he was filled with anger and wanted to let it out.

He thought it was because the shoes were not made well, and it was hard for him to find fault with his daughter-in-law. He could only get angry at Liu Hongyingsheng and said: "Look at the craftsmanship of your cotton shoes, it's just not as good as someone else's Jian-sheng daughter-in-law. Otherwise, why?" Can’t even sell a pair?!”

"How can I sell something like this in the county seat?"

Liu Hongying immediately became angry after being scolded by Lu Chengcai.

"You asked me to make and sell these shoes. You still blame me for not being good at my craftsmanship. People didn't even ask for the price. Why didn't you say that they didn't want them at all?! Let me see! You were deceived by your nephew. Damn it! Why are you selling shoes? He was obviously lucky enough to kill a wild boar and sell it for money."

Today, Lu Chengcai went to the county to sell shoes, and Liu Hongying had some free time to go outside to visit. As a result, she happened to hear someone say that Lu Jiansheng was lucky enough to catch a wild boar and sell it for some money.

Liu Hongying still didn't believe it at the time. After all, could wild boars be easily hunted?

However, Liu Hongying couldn't control it at this time, and she kept talking about everything she heard from outside about how Lu Jiansheng got lucky and shot a wild boar.

Lu Chengcai frowned, a little suspicious, "Really? Lu Jiansheng dares to lie to me? You know this, why didn't you tell me earlier??"

He has been busy with shoes these days.
  He didn't know much about what was happening in the village, and in fact, even if he knew Lu Chengcai at the time, he wouldn't believe it, especially since he had spent all the money he had spent on buying cloth and cotton, and he could only go to the dark side.

"I haven't been busy from morning to night these days. I didn't know that until I visited today. Besides, they hunted wild boars and sold them for money. Look at you. If you have the ability to scold me, you can also go to the mountains if you have the ability. Come back after hunting a wild boar!"

Liu Hongying is also a fierce boss.

Lu Chengcai was so angry that he stretched out his hand as if to give her a slap in the face.

However, as soon as she raised her hand, Liu Hongying's eyes turned red, she screamed, covered her face, and ran out of the house sobbing.

"Son, your father hit someone!"

grass.

He hasn't started yet!
