hunting in 1986

Chapter 129 128 Marriage, Holiday

Xiaobaituner.

There were only Li Yan and Li Ping in the east room, and Li Yan was still tirelessly persuading the latter. She really thought Wang Hu was good, and she also wanted her sister to have a good home.

Li Ping sat down on Kang Yan'er, playing with her twisted braids with her hands.

"Are you gagging with a stuffy head? You're talking."

"I still feel that I don't know much about him, so I'm going to spend the rest of my life with him?"

"What do you mean you understand, and what do you mean you don't understand? You know the name, you've met people, you know the family situation, and you know the general character, isn't it all right?

When I got married to your brother-in-law, I didn't know as much as you do now. Didn't I have a good life? "

Li Yan really couldn't figure out what Li Ping was thinking. After a moment of silence, she sighed again and said:
"It's not that you don't know about our family's conditions. It's just our father. Whoever heard that he was scared away."

Li Ping curled her lips and muttered, "My brother-in-law didn't run away either."

"Your brother-in-law...he's different."

Li Yan really asked Wang Yuan this question, and the answer she got was that Wang Yuan was not afraid of his father-in-law, at least so far, he has not been a monster.

……

After being silent for a while, Li Yan's heart suddenly moved, and she hurriedly asked: "Xiaoping, tell sister, is there someone in your heart?"

"Ah, how is that possible?" Li Ping bit her plump lips, her pretty face turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye, and her head lowered.

Soon the mother-in-law also came to the house, and the mother and daughter persuaded her together, but unfortunately, Li Ping, who has a "stubborn donkey" character, still didn't let go, and in the end it was completely lost.

After a long meal in the vernacular, Li Yan was thirsty, she came to the west room to look for water to drink, and saw Wang Yuan lying on the kang basking in the sun, the sun came in through the window, and it was warm on his face.

He looked relaxed and relaxed, enjoying himself very much.

Li Yan lost her temper for a moment, and stretched out her hand to pinch Wang Yuan's thigh, but unfortunately the cotton trousers were too thick and didn't hurt at all.

"It's relaxing for you to lie down, hurry up and persuade me, Xiaoping listens to you."

"I dont go."

"why?"

"If two people agree with each other, then we can build a line. Let's forget about this situation now. It will be hard to rely on me when the time comes."

……

After lunch, I slept on the kang at my mother-in-law's house. The mother-in-law's house made dinner early, so I left after dinner.

After all, this is Li Yan's home for many years.

Wang Yuan saw that she wanted to stay longer, so he didn't urge her to leave. Originally, Li Yan said to go early and return early, but it was already past 4 pm when she got home.

It gets dark early in winter, the afterglow of the sun sprinkles on the snow, and the remnant snow reflects a crystal red light.

When Wang Yuan drove Li Yan past the canteen on a motorcycle, he saw a group of people gathered in front of the canteen from a distance.

The shouting and shouting continued to be very lively, and it was only when we got closer that we realized that it was a group of half-grown children playing a small game of "bumping".

A group of children were divided into two teams, and each team had a "battle" in turn. The fighting method was quite simple. One leg hugged the other leg and jumped up and down to see who could knock the other side to the ground.

If you fall to the ground or the leg you picked up lands on the ground, you lose.

"Hey, that's interesting."

Wang Yuan stopped his motorcycle and looked at it for a while, chatted with Liu Qian, Wu Hui, and Zhuzi who were also watching the fun, and then drove Li Yan home.

"Wang Wang Wang ~"

After seeing Wang Yuan, the three dogs were very excited, jumping up and down, wishing they could break their tails, especially the big wolf, who jumped out of the cane with a run-up.

"Okay, okay, you silly dog ​​threw me in the snow."

Before I could take a nap when I got home, my third aunt came over after hearing the news. Unfortunately, she was destined to leave disappointed.

This matter failed, and his cousin Wang Hu was also very sad, depressed for more than half a month. According to his sister Wang Xiaohua, she saw her eldest brother Wang Hu hiding in bed and secretly crying.

January 1988, 1, the thirteenth day of the twelfth lunar month.

Today is the day when the eldest daughter of the third uncle's family, "Wang Xiuxiu", is getting married to a labor village in the north, and she looks very energetic.

There are a lot of brothers and sisters and cousins, and Wang Yuan and Wang Xiuxiu have relatively little contact. They only know that this cousin is down-to-earth, shy, and quick at work.

Wang Xiuxiu and Wang Hu are twins, but they will be born a little earlier, so she is the elder sister. After she gets married, only Wang Hu and Wang Xiaohua are left in the third uncle's family.

After a long day of bustle and bustle, Wang Yuan returned home at three o'clock in the afternoon.

wow~
He poured the hot water from the green leather thermos into the basin, mixed it with a little cold water, and then began to wash his face. After helping him for so long, his face was greasy.

After hearing the movement, he wiped his face and looked out through the small window on the door, and found that it was his younger sister Wang Xiaodie who had come.

"Second brother, you really came home!"

When the little girl entered the house, she would be by Wang Yuan's side, just like a little tail.

"Are you tired of being around me? Go, go, play."

"No! I want to follow you."

After washing his face, Wang Yuan felt refreshed. He threw out the three rambunctious dogs, and then took out a copy of "Three Heroes and Five Righteousness" from the table of Kangqin, and lay down on the Kang to read it. stand up.

The cold wind was blowing outside the window, and the plastic sheet that was pasted on the window made a hula, hula~ sound, but the house was quite warm.

"Drive, drive..."

The little girl took off her shoes and got on the kang, sat directly on Wang Yuan's back and rode her like a horse.

Wang Yuan wanted to read a book quietly for a while. He turned his head and glared at the little girl. The latter stopped for a moment and then pouted. The meaning was obvious——If you dare to kill me, I will dare to cry.

Got it!

Unable to provoke her, Wang Yuan simply ignored her and continued to read. He felt that the little girl was sent by God to punish him.

"Second brother, what are you looking at?"

Wang Yuan didn't want to talk to her at first, but after she asked again, he still said: "Three Heroes and Five Righteousness, talk about Bao Zheng, Zhan Zhao, Dynasty, Ma Han, you will know when you grow up."

Although his family also has a color TV, but it is too small, after the baptism of later generations, he feels that most of the TV programs are not good, so it is better to read novels.

Fiction has a special charm.

It seems to be a simple text, but as long as the reader's imagination is rich enough, a very wonderful world can be constructed through the text, which is very interesting.

"Oh."

The little girl made a fuss for a while, then suddenly said, "Where is my sister-in-law?"

"Your sister-in-law and third aunt are chatting, they will be back in a while, why are you hungry?"

"One thing, they robbed me so fast that I didn't even eat enough." The little girl said pitifully, she was too young to grab someone else's banquet.

"It's okay, I'll make you whatever you want for dinner tonight."

Wang Yuan misses his sister Wang Qing so much, it would be great if she was at home and could help look after the children, he really had enough of the little girl.

After reading for more than an hour, when Wang Yuan got up to cook, there was a sound of walking in the yard, and it was Li Yan who came back.

"When did you two come back? Why didn't I see you?" Li Yan was wearing a light red jacket that was more slim, which made her look even more beautiful with her tall figure.

When you get close, you can still smell a faint fragrance, which is the fragrance of cream.

"Just came back for a while, what did you bring?"

"Oh, there's still a little bit of braised pork left over at noon, and they haven't touched their chopsticks. The third aunt insisted on giving it to me and asked for some."

Wang Yuan came to the main room to cook with Li Yan. He was in charge of holding firewood for the fire, and Li Yan was in charge of cooking. Finally, he added water to the pot, put the grate fork, covered the curtain and put dry food on it. Wang Yuan sat in front of the stove and continued to burn the fire.

Li Yan re-kneaded the dough, intending to wake up the dough, and steamed the steamed buns tomorrow.

The little girl squatted next to Li Yan, a small one, just looking at Li Yan and face so curiously.

cluck clack~
The ground was uneven, and the washbasin kept bumping against the ground after being stressed, making light noises.

Li Yan tapped the little girl's nose with her finger, and instantly the latter's nose was covered with flour:
"Little girl, are you squatting here and haha? Go watch TV, there are still dried blueberries in the rightmost drawer in the second row of Kangqin, go and eat."

The little girl watched Li Yan and the noodles for a while, then went to watch TV in the room and ate snacks.

Listening to the TV sound coming from the back room, Wang Yuan buried two pieces of sweet potatoes under the charcoal fire beside the stove, and the sweet potatoes would be roasted soon.

"By the way, Yanzi, Xiaoqing will have winter vacation tomorrow, I will go to the county to bring her back."

"Go, people say that there will be snow tomorrow, so slow down on the road."

Soon the two pieces of sweet potatoes in the stove were cooked. Wang Yuan pulled them out with a small stick, and retracted his hand when he felt it was hot.

When the temperature of the roasted sweet potatoes dropped a little, he picked one up and broke it lightly.

"It's pitch black on the outside, it looks like charcoal, look at the little flesh inside, how exciting is this little color?"

The orange-red sweet potato flesh exudes a little heat. It looks like the best jade. The sweet smell is wafting around. Li Yan swallowed her saliva when she smelled the smell.

"Come and taste how it tastes."

"I won't eat it, I won't eat it, you can eat it..." Li Yan looked at the roasted sweet potato that was handed to her mouth, but in the end she couldn't resist Wang Yuan's enthusiasm, so she opened her mouth and took a big bite.

"Mmm, it's delicious and sweet."

"That's right, our technique of roasting sweet potatoes is amazing!"

"Pfft~ you, you just baked a sweet potato and you're still on the hook." Li Yan gave him a charming look, and then covered the reconciliation with a curtain.

At this time, the little girl smelled the sweet smell of roasted sweet potatoes like a puppy, and ran out of the back room happily. After getting another roasted sweet potato, she ran back to the back room.

The next day.

Wang Yuan took the dogs for a walk around the mountains in the morning, but nothing was gained. After returning home and having breakfast, he rode a motorcycle to the county.

At the gate of No. [-] Middle School of the county.

Wuyang Wuyang, the parent who came to pick up their children, was so cold that many people could only rely on stomping their feet to keep warm. Some were chatting with the people around them, and they let out a puff of breath when they opened their mouths.

"It's really cold today."

"Who says it's not? I was freezing enough to drive the tractor head all the way. Who knows if my little brat will study hard."

In addition to chatting, there are also those who ask for advice on learning experience. Some parents are from the county and know each other. If their children study well, others will ask for advice on how to educate their children.

Sudden.

I don't know who shouted: "School is over!"

In an instant, all the parents looked into the school, and saw a large number of students rushing outside, densely packed, like countless ants.

The door opened and parents could go in too. Wang Yuan went directly to the school from the door, and then went to the dormitory where his younger sister Wang Qing lived.

Many parents come to the dormitory, so the girls' dormitory does not prohibit men from entering.

"Wang Qing!"

"Hey!"

Wang Qing was stuffing blanket rolls into the fertilizer bag, Wang Yuan quickly squeezed through the crowd to help Wang Qing tidy up.

"Don't worry about tidying up slowly, do you want to take the few books here back?"

"I want to take them back. I'll put them in my schoolbag later."

After packing up the things, I found that there was a half bag of chemical fertilizers in total, and there was a schoolbag of books in addition.

Wang Yuan led the way with two fertilizer bags in front, and Wang Qing followed closely behind, carefully protecting her schoolbag.

……

chu chu chu ~
When they were driving halfway on the motorcycle, the sky began to have heavy snowflakes. Wang Qing sat on the back seat, looking at the snowflakes, farmland, and distant mountains... couldn't help laughing easily all over her body.

It's finally a holiday!
It's always nice to have a vacation, and it's more than a full month off.

Back in the village, I saw my mother standing at the door looking around from a distance.

The dumplings boiled at noon, the stewed bear meat, the corners of Wang Qing's mouth were dripping with oil.

Wang Yuan and Li Yan also ate in my mother's courtyard, and the whole family crowded together very lively.

The old man was sitting at the corner of the table, smoking a pipe while watching the whole family eating, he could not help feeling a sense of satisfaction in his heart:
"My mother, there are still dumplings in the pot, why don't you fix them all?"

"Hey, I'll bring it here."

My mother went to the main room to bring half-steamed dumplings, and poured the dumplings directly on the grate on the table. There were a few dumplings that didn't want to fall off, so I pulled them down with chopsticks.

"Stop smoking, hurry up and eat dumplings, we are almost full."

"It's okay, let's eat first." The old man took a sip of the white wine, then picked up a piece of bear meat, put some soup on the side of the helmet, and then put the bear meat into his mouth, enjoying it all over his face.

"Xiaoqing, how did you do in the final exam?"

"I just finished the exam and I'm on vacation. I haven't scored yet. I feel that I did well in the exam. This year's questions seem to be easy." Wang Qing ate dumplings and bear meat in large chunks.

The meat dumplings are delicious, and the bear meat is also delicious. It is almost as if the food in the mouth has not been swallowed, and the food is stuffed into the mouth again.

It has been a month or so since Wang Yuan went to see her last time, and the oil and water accumulated in his stomach have been exhausted.

The old man looked at Wang Qing with anticipation in his eyes, as if he was looking at the first college student in the Wang family village:
"It's okay. Don't be nervous during the exam. There are some questions that you could have solved, but you might not be able to do them when you get nervous. Isn't that the reason?"

"Mmmmmmm~"

Wang Qing kept her head down and ate vigorously, and she didn't know if she listened. The food was so delicious that she couldn't stop.

My mother couldn't understand my father's shyness, so she said to him: "You're almost done, you haven't graduated from elementary school yourself, and you still want to teach my daughter?"

The mother touched Wang Qing's hair tenderly, and then gave her some meat to eat.

The little girl next to her grinned. Wang Yuan glanced at her lightly. The little girl quickly lowered her head and continued to eat. It would be really irritating to dare to smile at this time.

Dad and Boss were not happy anymore, and smoked dry cigarettes: "What is this talking about? Although I am low-educated, some of the principles are similar... In fact, I was smart when I was young, but I was too playful."

"Okay, hurry up and eat, the dumplings are really going to be cold."

"Hey~"

The old man sighed for a long time and didn't say anything else. He picked up the dumplings and ate them, and then he raised his eyebrows and smiled again:
"Hey!? It's so delicious~ There's an old saying that it's not as delicious as dumplings, and it's as comfortable as being upside down. This is true!"

……

After chatting for a while after lunch, Wang Yuan and Li Yan left their mother's yard and walked to their own home.

Huhuhu~
The cold wind blew away the snowflakes all over the sky, fluttering and fluttering one after another, and looking up, the scene was extremely spectacular.

Li Yan slipped and almost fell, but fortunately Wang Yuan lifted her up.

"Oh my god, I was scared to death."

"Did you forget that it was a downhill slope? The snow covered the slope and it looked flat."

Li Yan wanted to break away from Wang Yuan's big hand, but the latter didn't let go, and the young couple just walked back holding hands.

"Let go of my hand, what kind of words do people see?"

"What's wrong with legal couples holding hands? No one else cares about kissing."

"Bah~ You're talking nonsense again."

Li Yan's pretty face was flushed, but she felt that it was good to hold hands and walk back, because the warmth from Wang Yuan's big hands warmed her heart very much.

She was observing the surrounding houses along the way, for fear that someone who came out would see them holding hands.

After returning home, Wang Yuan fed the hungry dogs, and then continued to read the book "Three Heroes and Five Righteousness".

Reading novels is indeed addictive.

It was snowing heavily outside, and the young couple slept in the house, watched TV, read novels, and enjoyed cooking.

It snowed heavily for two days and one night.

The snow finally stopped this morning, Wang Yuan rode his motorcycle to the city directly after breakfast, he was going to collect the money from selling cotton clothes.

For more than a month, he would come to the city every few days to collect money, put away the cotton clothes, and encourage Sun Dagang and others to continue selling.

The 2 sets of cotton-padded clothes were sold one after another, and Wang Yuan himself made a lot of money.

When he came to the yard he bought before at No. 16 Xiaoliu Street, Sun Dagang opened the door before knocking.

"Xiaoyuan, you are here. I knew it was you when I heard the sound of the motorcycle! Push the motorcycle in, and I will close the door."

Sun Dagang is tall and thick, and now his rough face is full of smiles. Cotton clothes are much easier to sell than he imagined. In the past month, he has earned more than 1500 yuan, which is more than many workers' wages in a year.
