Back in the 1980s, hiking in the mountains was also a way of life

Chapter 374 I Know
Then Wang Xiaoli blinked her big eyes and asked:
"Big Pot, are you done with your work?"

When Wang An heard his little sister's words, his head was full of black lines.

I have to say that my younger sister Wang Xiaoli’s memory for “eating” is quite good!

Wang An remembers that his original words that day were "If we can finish our work tomorrow, we will go the day after tomorrow."

Then Wang Xiaoli kept it in mind!
In fact, to Wang An, his younger sister was quite sensible, because she didn't even mention wanting to eat fish yesterday afternoon.

Until this point, the whole family couldn't hold back any longer and all burst into laughter.

Wang An pinched his little sister's cheeks, gritted his teeth and said helplessly:

"You said you were always so naughty, how come you only know how to be naughty?"

Wang Xiaoli just started laughing.

The whole family laughed even louder.

After breakfast, Wang An found an ice pick, a shovel, a large colander, and a pickaxe. After throwing all these things on the sled, he drove the sled to Wang Li's house.

When it comes to work, the more people there are, the better.

The main thing is that other people can't be ordered around, but it's no problem to order Wang Li around.

Besides, Wang An’s “memory” is not bad. Wang An still remembers that when they were picking fish the night before, Wang Li said he wanted to pick fish.

The two houses were not far from each other, so in less than a minute, Wang An arrived at Wang Li's house.

After tying the sled to the gate of Wang Li's house, Wang An pushed open the gate and walked into the yard.

When the four yellow dogs saw Wang An, they immediately started wagging their tails and looked very serious and intimate. Wang An patted the heads of each dog one by one before walking into the house.

Among Wang An’s entire circle of relatives, which family is the most grateful to him?
There is no doubt that it is definitely Wang Daliang's family.

After all, the reason why Wang Li was able to go hunting in the mountains with Wang An was because Yao Ping took the initiative to ask Wang An for help.

It can be said that the current changes in Wang Daliang’s family are entirely due to Wang An.

So when Wang An arrived, Wang Daliang and his wife were very serious and treated Wang An as someone they would serve.

The enthusiastic attitude is simply unacceptable.

Getting cigarettes, getting candy, making malted milk, opening cans, all kinds of busy work.

To be honest, this made Wang An feel embarrassed.

So Wang An immediately stopped the couple and said solemnly:
"Uncle and Madam, can you please stop working so hard? We are all family, why are you doing this? Don't you want me to stay here and have some rest?"

The couple was stunned for a moment, then Second Mother Yao Ping laughed dryly and said:

"You don't come here all the time, what's the matter with that?"

Before Yao Ping could finish, Wang An interrupted her again:

"Okay, Second Mother, don't do that anymore. It's fine for us to just be casual. It's not worth it, really."

After Wang An finished speaking, Wang Dazhu continued:
"Yes, Xiao An is right. When you come to your uncle's house, it's like being at home. Just be casual."

Wang An didn't waste any more time and said with a smile:
"I was thinking of asking Xiaoli to go with me to get some fish. Xiaomei and Xiaoli are tired of eating meat every day, so they must eat fish."

Yao Ping also returned to normal and said with a smile: "Yeah, I really want to eat fish after eating meat every day. I want to eat fish too."

Then Yao Ping turned to Wang Li and said:

"Xiao Li, hurry up and pack up, and go catch fish with your brother."

In fact, Wang Li had already started putting on leg wraps when Wang An entered the room.

But Wang Li had to listen to his mother, so he agreed and started to put on his coat and hat. Soon, Wang Li was ready.

When the two came out of Wang Li's house, they happened to meet the second idiot in the village.

The second idiot's original name was Niu Dazhuang, with the character "Da" in the middle, just like Niu Dali and the others, but he was about the same age as Wang An.

In fact, in this era, most families have family trees, and names are usually given according to the family tree.

But even if there is no family tree, the names of brothers or uncles, as long as they have three characters, generally the middle character or the last character is the same.

I don't know why exactly, but it's just a habit.

The reason why Niu Dazhuang was called a "fool" by people was simply because when he was a child, he had a high fever and his brain was damaged.

This kind of thing is very common in this era. There is no medicine for illness. The best you can do is take some Chinese herbal medicine. Some people even ask a "fortune teller" to treat the disease.

If the illness is cured, it means that the great immortal has great magical powers.

If the disease is not cured and the person dies, it means that this is the life span of that person.

Anyway, right and wrong are all decided by the "Great Immortal", and the "Great Immortal" is never wrong.

Strangely enough, there are one or two people like "Ershazi" in every village.

And it became like this because of one reason or another.

In short, this matter makes people feel that it is quite outrageous!

Niu Dazhuang is called a "fool" and his IQ must be not high, but Niu Dazhuang has never been annoying.

Because actually he is not stupid, he just has a low IQ or his brain reacts slowly.

At this time, Niu Dazhuang was standing next to Wang An's sled.

Seeing Wang An and Wang Li coming out, Niu Dazhuang immediately said like a child:
"Are you going fishing? Can I come too?"

To be honest, Wang An is currently in need of people to chop ice. If he just takes Niu Dazhuang with him, it would seem like he is bullying a fool.

While Wang An was thinking, he heard Niu Dazhuang continue:
"I can work, so you can take me with you, okay?"

Seeing Wang An's embarrassment, Wang Li said:

"Fourth brother, why don't you take him with you? Just give him a share of the fish when the time comes. If his grandfather finds out, he won't say anything."

That’s right, Niu Dazhuang only has his grandfather in his family, and his grandmother has passed away for more than ten years.

As for Niu Dazhuang's parents, no one knew whether they were lost or ran away. Anyway, after the two of them went into the mountains once, they never came out again.

When Wang An heard what Wang Li said, he nodded and said to Niu Dazhuang:
"I can take you there, but you have to be obedient, otherwise I'll just leave you there and not care about you."

Hearing this, Niu Dazhuang said confidently: "If I listen to you, I can find my home too."

Wang An smiled and nodded when he heard this, "Okay, come up."

After hearing this, Niu Dazhuang cheered like a child.

To be honest, it does look a bit awkward for a guy in his 20s to behave like a child.

After Wang Li and Niu Dazhuang were seated firmly, Wang An drove the sled towards the river closest to the village.

Only after finding a turning point did Wang An stop Daer Ma.

After feeding the eldest horse with hay, Wang An and his two companions began to chisel a hole in the ice not far from the sled.

Wang An discovered that when Niu Dazhuang was working, he didn't seem to have a low IQ at all, and he was very serious about using the ice pick.
