Rebirth in 1984, starting from beekeeping in the mountains

Chapter 22 The Stupid Cousin Comes to the House
"Hey! Hongan! Wait a minute!"

Before the figure caught up, an impolite voice had already shouted out.

It was dark, and Fang Hongan didn't recognize who it was at first. He just felt that the voice was really rude, and it was clear that the person had bad intentions.

Waiting near his home and coming with such a fierce force, this immediately aroused Fang Hongan's vigilance.

Turning around, looking at the two figures striding towards him, before Fang Hongan could think of the specific person, Wang Tong blurted out, "Cousin Hua!"

Hearing this shout, Fang Hongan finally recognized the person who was shouting.

It’s Fang Honghua.

The Fangs in Shiwan Village all originated from the same branch that migrated from neighboring province more than 500 years ago. In this era, it was popular to name people based on generation.

Fang Honghua and Fang Hongan belong to the same generation with the character "Hong".

Of course, the two are even closer relatives by blood—Fang Honghua is the second son of Uncle Fang Hongan.

He is only one month older than Fang Hongan and is Fang Hongan's cousin.

In mountain villages, cousins ​​are very close relatives. In this era that relies heavily on human resources, the number of brothers and cousins ​​is an important factor in increasing one's voice and prestige in such small mountain villages.

However, Fang Hongan's relationship with his uncle's family has always been distant, and as a result, his relationship with Fang Honghua is not like that of cousins.

Although the two grew up playing in the same mud, they never got along well. In the words of others, they would not even pee in the same pot.

So much so that, in the previous life, since Fang Hongan left Shiwan Village, the two sides had never had any contact again.

This is also the reason why Wang Tong didn’t recognize it first.

After recognizing that it was Fang Honghua, Fang Hongan roughly guessed why he came so aggressively.

His eyes turned slightly and looked at the figure beside Fang Honghua.

He is short and fat, with curly hair and a burn scar on the right side of his face.

Sure enough, it was Xie Dongqiang, who had been following Fang Honghua since he was in his teens and was nicknamed "Xie Dogleg" by many villagers behind his back.

It is worth mentioning that Xie Dongqiang is the son of Fang Honghua’s uncle, and is also the maternal family member of Aunt Diao Xie Liucui.

The cousins ​​Fang Honghua and Xie Dongqiang hang out together all day long. Over the years, they have not only done a lot of evil in Shiwan Village, but also caused a lot of trouble in the nearby villages.

To use the term in northern cities, he is a complete street thug.

Glancing at the two figures approaching, Fang Hongan's eyes began to show coldness.

the other side.

Wang Tong's call also made Fang Honghua immediately turn his attention to him: "Oh! It's Heizi! No wonder the villagers said that there was a follower who followed Hongan and ran around in the mountains all day long. It turned out to be you!"

Fang Honghua glared at Wang Tong with a frown in his voice.

"What do you mean by running around!"

Wang Tong was immediately unhappy when he heard this. He subconsciously refuted and was about to continue talking, but then he thought that if he continued, the secret of digging honey would be exposed, so he had to change his mind and said, "We went into the mountains to do serious business!"

Not only were his words vague, but they also seemed to be a challenge to Fang Honghua.

Xie Liucui was a mean aunt to Fang Hongan, and a completely evil aunt to him. Although the relationship between the two families had not broken up on the surface, they were not close either, especially when Carpenter Yang came to deliver the beehives last time and mentioned the exchange of fields, Wang Tong heard this and immediately felt even more disgusted with his aunt's family.

He had called Fang Honghua before subconsciously, but when he heard the words of this scoundrel cousin, he realized that he was coming towards Fang Hongan with malicious intent.

I got angry immediately.

"Business?"

Fang Honghua bared his teeth with a look of disdain: "Two good men, running to the mountains to dig kudzu all day long like beggars, what a bullshit job!"

Fang Honghua first rolled his eyes at Wang Tong, and then his gaze focused more on Fang Hongan.

Obviously, these words were more directed at Fang Hongan.

It's full of the implication of adding fuel to the fire.

But what he didn't know was that when Fang Hongan heard this, he felt relieved.

He and Wang Tong had been going into the mountains frequently these past few days, going back and forth. Although they dug beehives only when no one could see, and when they returned home, the bamboo baskets were always covered with kudzu leaves, there was no guarantee that the sharp-eyed people in the village would not notice something.

He has been so busy these days that he has no time to find out anything.

After hearing what Fang Honghua said, the rumor that they were digging Kudzu was still spreading in the village.

Doesn't this mean that no one has discovered anything yet?

Doesn’t this mean that... after we come back from the market tomorrow, there will still be a golden period to go into the mountains?
Seeing Fang Hongan speaking calmly and not taking the bait, Fang Honghua was stunned, and the displeasure on his face became even worse. He could no longer suppress his anger and turned to Fang Hongan, "Hongan! I'm not saying anything bad about you, but your family is so short of food, why are you still so stubborn?"

"My mother took the initiative to change a more convenient field for you, and even gave you rice and chickens. What else is there to object to?"

He frowned and spoke in a serious tone, and finally put on an attitude of being disappointed with his mother: "I know my mother went too far in some things before, but now that you have to borrow food from everywhere, you have to be angry with our family?"

After he finished this long speech, Fang Hongan was left speechless.

The thoughts in my mind swirled for a long time before they gradually came to light.

correct!

Now I remember that my cheap cousin, besides having a head full of stupid ideas, is also... a little stupid.

His most famous masterpiece happened about two years ago. This little bully from Shiwan Village had an argument with another group of hooligans from the neighboring village. In order to show off his power, he not only revealed all the bad things he had done, but also exposed some of his mother's dirty deeds that could not be seen in public.

Not only did he scare the bunch of hooligans in the neighboring village, but he also ruined his own marriage that was about to take place.

So, looking at it this way, what he said might not be all bad.

More likely, he was stupid enough to be fooled by his own mean aunt.

That's why he came over here so stupidly and put on such a show.

Thinking of this, somehow, after hearing such harsh words, Fang Hongan didn't know how to be angry. The corners of his mouth raised and he smiled, "How do you know about the exchange of fields?"

"I do not know how!"

Seeing that Fang Hongan not only did not feel ashamed of what he said, but was still laughing, Fang Honghua seemed to start to get angry.
