Back to 1984: Hunting in the Mountains

Chapter 138 I want to go into the mountains!

In the evening, Yu Qiyuan came over and said that his second uncle had come back and did not buy any musk, so he planned to go to the next city tomorrow to have a look.

Yu Qiutang thought it was unlikely.

Rongcheng is close to the mountains, so mountain products are relatively more likely to appear. If there is no trace of musk here, the chance will definitely be smaller if you go to Huaiyang next door.

So I planned to go home in the evening to pack up my crossbows and guns and get ready to go into the mountains in the next few days.

His affection for his grandmother is definitely not as strong as his father's, and he is not as filial as his second uncle, let alone as patiently enduring humiliation as his third uncle.

But he had the ability to obtain musk, so he couldn't ignore it.

Sometimes, children are a debt to their parents.

And many times, the elders are also the debtors of the younger generations.

Once you have enjoyed their nurturing, you will not be able to open your mouth and claim that you have absolute power.

As a human being, we must always have a conscience.

Unless there are parents who truly have no love for their children and just keep exploiting them.

But there are few such parents.

Most parents are like Yu Dejin. They certainly love their children deep down in their hearts, but they lack the ability to love and have not found the right way to love.

Because Mi Yali had a foot injury, Yu Qiutang simply took Mi Yali's place and helped his sister prepare dinner. He even prepared two bottles of white wine. After everyone left the show in the evening, they could eat something and drink some wine to relieve fatigue, which would make them feel more relaxed.

Of course, he also paid attention to controlling the amount, so that each person only had one glass, so as to avoid drinking too much and causing accidents on the way back.

In short, Yu Qiutang had suffered a lot before, so if he has some ability in this life, he will try his best to take care of the people around him.

In the process, he also gained a good reputation and good popularity.

These intangible wealth may seem to have no effect for the time being, but in the long run, they may be an important link that can suddenly play an unpredictable role.

Of course, he did not forget to take the time to bring the roasted dry bun to Miyali. Miyali had already eaten one last night, so it was not surprising to eat it again today.

"Thank you."

The steamed bun is baked to a golden and crispy texture, and it looks like a lot of effort has gone into it.

If you are not careful when baking steamed buns with wood fire, they may become burnt black. It is not easy to bake them so well and make them look appetizing.

Miali was touched, but also a little nervous and afraid.

I always feel that Yu Qiutang has a pair of eyes that can see through everything about her and a mysterious invisible hand that can manipulate her consciousness.

No matter what you think, do, or like, he knows it.

Obviously, she didn't tell anyone many things, not even her family members knew.

It's just like being a god.

She had been thinking about this question yesterday, and especially today, what was wrong with him?

Could it be true, as he said, that he met himself in a dream and that's why he learned so many of my secrets?

This is an exaggeration.

It's impossible even if you think about it.

But if not, how did he know? It's really hard to understand.

if……

What if, by some chance, they really did that, wouldn't I be like a piece of transparent paper, unable to hide from them?

If the two have a good relationship, then everything will be fine.

But what if we have a falling out, what if we get angry? Then he still understands me, but I don't know what he thinks. Isn't that unfair...

"I've told your brother that you'll be staying here until you recover from your illness, sharing a room with Qiuju. Qiuju, you have to take good care of Sister Lili, okay?"

"Got it, cousin."

Yu Qiuju's complexion has improved slightly in the past few days, but she still cannot be exposed to the wind, so she spends most of her time hiding in the kitchen or this room.

Mi Yali likes this quiet girl very much, Yu Qiuju also likes Mi Yali's sunny personality, and the three of them, including Yu Chunmei, get along pretty well.

"I'd better go back."

"Miss, you don't want your parents to see you like this, right?"

Yu Qiutang was joking.

"?"

"Your foot is injured, and your parents will definitely be worried. How can they let you go out to work in the future? It would be better for your brother to go back and tell them that you are staying here and have to clean up things at night. You can go back after your foot is healed in a few days. They won't know and won't worry."

Miyali thought about it and felt that it made sense, but she soon realized that she didn't bring any toiletries or change of clothes. Yu Qiutang seemed to see through her thoughts and said directly: "You can ask your brother to bring them for you if you have personal belongings. As for toiletries and other things, they are available in the village store. I will bring them to you tomorrow."

"No need for you to send me off."

"Don't be polite. We are all from the same world. It would be a shame to be so polite. They say that meeting is fate..."

"Bullshit."

Miali was amused.

This guy just likes to talk nonsense. He keeps saying random things and using a lot of little words.

Yu Qiuju was leaning against the wall, reading a storybook, and occasionally looked at the two of them through the thin cloth.

Although she was young, she could understand the ambiguity between the two.

I feel curious, yearning, happy and sad.

There are many beautiful love stories in the story club. Lovers go through hardships and basically get married in the end.

But she also thought about herself. In a few years, she would be old enough to go on a blind date. But in her current condition, how could she be qualified for one?

Who can accept her like this?

Maybe that thing called love will never come to her.
.
After Yu Qiutang and Yu Chunmei finished their work, they went home together.

In order to take a shortcut, the two of them crossed along the ground beam. When they passed a platform, he jumped down first. Seeing that Yu Chunmei was struggling to come down slowly, he simply picked up his sister and put her on the ground.

"oops."

Yu Chunmei was startled.

After coming down, I thought of something and couldn't help laughing out loud.

"What are you laughing at, sister?"

"I remember when I was holding you when we were little. You were too heavy, and it was also on a platform like this. As a result, we both fell to the ground, and you got a scar on your forehead..."

Yu Chunmei said this and glanced at Yu Qiutang in the dark night.

But the starlight was dim and only a vague outline could be seen.

"Time flies so fast."

Yu Chunmei sighed, "Such a small child, but in the blink of an eye he grew into this big boy. It's a pity that Zi Erniang didn't see it."

Yu Qiutang smiled.

When talking about his mother, he was not as emotional as Yu Chunmei.

It’s not that I don’t love my mother, it’s just that the time we’ve been apart is too long. The only photo of my mother left in the world is her wedding photo with my father, which my father has kept very carefully.

After a long time, I can't even remember what my mother looks like clearly.

This is very sad, but helpless.

"Tangtang, I've been too busy to ask you, how is our grandma's health?" Yu Qiutang said briefly.

Rui Ermei is a very feudal old lady who is extremely patriarchal, which results in her granddaughters not liking her very much.

Many of them ignored her, so it was good that there were people like Yu Chunmei who cared about her.

"I hope you get better soon. It's not easy for us, too."

Yu Chunmei sighed.

Yu Qiutang turned around and looked at his sister, thinking that God really gave all the misfortunes to kind people.

She is such a gentle and kind person, but she has this disease.

Who can I seek justice from?

When we got home, both children were already asleep.

They are also sensible and don't need much control.

Yu Xiaowei was thinking about going to the construction site to help, but Yu Qiutang ruthlessly rejected his idea and told him to concentrate on his studies and make up for what he had missed.

He sincerely hopes that his two children can achieve something in their studies.

Especially Yu Xiaoyun.

He knew that the next few decades would be a period of rapid economic development for the country, and the need for talent, especially educated intellectuals, would be more urgent than at any time in history.

If they can enter the game with knowledge, they will definitely be able to make a career.

The next afternoon, Yu Qiyuan came over and said that his second uncle had indeed not bought the musk.

This was completely within Yu Qiutang's expectations.

He called Yu Qiujiang, Yu Qiyuan and Wang Haofeng together, and the four of them held a brief meeting.

"Since grandma wants this thing and uncle can't buy it, then as her grandson, I must help share some of the responsibility..."

The four of them were sitting casually on the hay.

Except Wang Haofeng, the other three are cousins, and their grandmother is their common grandmother.

As for Wang Haofeng, he had a good relationship with Yu Qiutang and Yu Qiujiang. Besides, he was a loyal man and was very outgoing. Naturally, he felt that the grandmother of the three of them, that is, his grandmother, had an obligation to do so.

"Cousin, what you mean is..., if my second uncle couldn't buy it, we certainly can't either. We don't have as many connections as my second uncle." Yu Qiyuan basically thought directly.

A bit similar to Wang Haofeng.

But they are not quite the same.

Wang Haofeng is stupid and often comes up with paths that even children wouldn't think of.

Yu Qiujiang took out the cigarette paper and slowly began to roll a cigarette.

There was no sound.

Yu Qiutang glanced at him and said, "Since I can't buy ready-made ones in the pharmacy, I'm going to try my luck in the mountains. It's just after October, and it's the peak period for various musk deer activities. If I'm lucky, it shouldn't be a problem to get a few."

"Catching Musk Deer?!"

When Wang Haofeng heard this, he immediately became energetic. He hadn't been to the mountains for many days, and he could no longer suppress the restlessness in his heart. He wanted to go in and hang out to let off some steam.

"The situation is like this now. We still have work going on at the construction site, and we can't leave the site, so we have to divide the tasks among us."

He paused, looked at a few people one by one, and his eyes stopped on Yu Qiujiang, "Brother Jiang, how about you stay at home and help us keep an eye on the construction site?"

Yu Qiujiang did not answer immediately. He took out a match and lit the cigarette. He shook the match in the air and extinguished it. He threw it under his feet and rubbed it out with his feet. Then he said calmly, "I'm going into the mountains."

"What I mean is, you should just stay. We need someone to look after this place, and Qiuju is at home..."

Yu Qiujiang shook his head. "I know what you mean. This matter started because of me. If I want to solve it, I definitely can't sit idle. I must go into the mountains."

Yu Qiutang hesitated and nodded.

He originally thought that since Yu Qiujiang was unhappy, he should not use moral blackmail to force him to go with him. He could just stay at home and watch over the construction site and work, which would be more legitimate.

But it is obvious that Yu Qiujiang has never let him down in terms of responsibility.

This man is like a piece of hard steel. He is not easily bent. He always persists when he needs to, and he can grit his teeth and persevere even under great pressure.

Yu Qiutang turned his gaze to Yu Qiyuan and shook his head again.

This child is young, too naive, and lacks the ability to handle things. If we leave him at home, he won't be of much help.

Then you can only...

"Hey, hey, I don't want to. I just want to go into the mountains. Please don't leave me at home."

Wang Haofeng looked at Yu Qiutang eagerly, almost begging.

But Yu Qiutang still shook his head and smiled helplessly: "In that case, Fengzi, you can help me watch over the house. If there is anything, help me deal with it. If it is a big problem that cannot be dealt with, either wait for me to come back to solve it, or let Brother Wen Zhong deal with it first. If it really doesn't work, go find my father..."

"Then why not let Atom stay? He's young, and it's not safe for him to go to the mountains with us..."

"What nonsense! I'm almost seventeen, how can I still be young? I want to go to the mountains to play with my cousin. I told you to stay, but you're still nagging me."

Yu Qiyuan is simple, but not stupid.

When he saw the situation, he realized that there was a great possibility that he would be taken into the mountains, and he was immediately overjoyed.

This is something you only dream of doing.

I've heard people say how great my cousin is, and I always regretted not being able to see him in person. Now that I have the opportunity, only a fool would give it up to someone else.

"You kid..."

"Who am I? I have a wife, do you have one?" Yu Qiyuan used his trump card to get the chance.

Wang Haofeng felt a sharp pain in his heart.

This kid is really cutting my heart with a knife. How does he know that this is the pain that I cannot mention?

Besides, who says I don’t have a wife? I’m trying to get one, and I’ve already decided on the fate of the couple.

"Fengzi, just stay at home. You are lively and I trust you to handle things. Yuanzi has always wanted to go to the mountains to play, so take him in to have a look. It will help him fulfill his wish.

How about this, although you don’t go to the mountains, I will still give you the money I earn when I come back, the ratio is not good at all, how about it?”

"It's a matter of money, isn't it?" Wang Haofeng was obviously not convinced.

"Don't you want to make more money so you can marry a wife and give her a dowry? Just tell me, if Liu Chunyan likes you and asks you for a dowry of three or five items, what can you do if you don't have money?"

"This one……"

It really hit his soft spot.

"Also, your old yard needs to be renovated and decorated, and you need to buy some new furniture and so on. This all costs money..."

Since he had found Wang Haofeng's weak spot, Yu Qiutang began to press on and attacked him, leaving Wang Haofeng speechless. He felt that Yu Qiutang was right and that he should aim to make money.

Otherwise, he could only dream about the beautiful girl Liu Chunyan, but he would not have any chance at all in reality.

He never thought that Yu Qiutang was actually changing the concept.

Because he can earn this money, he doesn't have to stay at home to get the money. If I go with him to the mountains to work, will you not give me a share of the money?

But he is too stubborn to do such calculations.

Besides, he already trusted Yu Qiutang very much, and with the addition of Liu Chunyan's stacking armor, it would be strange if he was not confused.

In this way, the final decision was that Wang Haofeng stayed behind while the three brothers of the Yu family went into the mountains to catch musk deer.
