hunting in 1986

Chapter 205 204 Antiques, river bombing, fishing
In a small courtyard in Luoyang.

Wang Yuan looked around at Aunt Xue, Ergou and others, and said with a smile: "The bonus will definitely not be lost to everyone. I will give 1000 yuan to each person!"

Whoa!
In an instant, a group of people around were stunned. They thought that giving 500 to 1000 yuan was not a small amount, but they didn't expect Wang Yuan to be so generous and directly give [-] yuan.

1000 yuan is almost equivalent to a year's salary for many state-owned enterprise workers.

Knowing that they will get a large bonus, everyone started discussing happily in an instant, especially some of the little sisters brought by Aunt Xue, who had already started discussing where to buy clothes and skin care products.

In the northwest corner of the yard, there is a secret door leading to the ground.

Aunt Xue took Wang Yuan and Ergou to the northwest corner of the yard, moved the reed mat and opened the iron gate.

"Xiaoyuan, come down with me. All the antiques bought during this period are below. They are mainly all kinds of porcelain, and there are also a small amount of ancient books, calligraphy and paintings, bronzes, jades, etc."

Electric lights were installed in the cellar, the light was dim and very quiet.

Aunt Xue walked ahead along the wooden ladder, Wang Yuan followed carefully, and Ergou stayed on the cellar.

Going west after going down the cellar, there was an iron fence door less than 20 meters away. Aunt Xue took out the key to unlock the lock, pushed open the fence door and led Wang Yuan to continue walking inside.

"It's safer with this fence door. If someone wants to steal the treasure, it's not so easy to get in without the key."

After passing the fence gate, there is a large cellar. The wooden shelves on the left are full of porcelain, with various styles and intricate patterns.The wooden shelves on the right are full of miscellaneous items, many of which Wang Yuan can't tell what they are for.

"How many things are here?"

"2115 pieces of porcelain and 1365 miscellaneous items cost a total of 36 yuan. This is the account book." Aunt Xue took an account book from the shelf next to it and handed it to Wang Yuan:
"The few boxes outside have not been put into the warehouse yet, so they are not counted. They are all high-quality antiques. I don't want some ordinary antiques that are worthless."

Every piece of treasures and antiques is hard to put down. After looking in the cellar for a while, the two returned to the yard from the exit.

"Take all these things away tomorrow."

"Okay, by the way, Xiaoyuan, I plan to hand over the affairs here to Ergou. I want to go back to Harbin City."

"Go back if you have something to do. Ergou can now take care of himself and leave it to him."

Wang Yuan patted Ergou on the shoulder. Ergou, who had grown taller and stronger, smiled foolishly.

Er Gou was wearing a gray jacket and black pants, and with a crew cut, he looked more mature, less childish and more stable.

At night, Wang Yuan and Ergou drank a lot of wine, and fell asleep directly in the east room when they were drunk. In the middle of the night, Ergou's snoring woke him up. When he woke Ergou up, the latter said directly:
"What's wrong, Brother Yuan, I didn't snore."

"Anyway, I heard you snoring... well, go to sleep, I'm almost sleepy."

After Wang Yuan lay down, he felt that it was not long before he heard the rain outside, and there was a meowing sound amidst the rustling rain, and when he opened his eyes, he found that it was dawn.

Putting on clothes and getting off the kang, it turned out that Aunt Xue was sitting on the small bench in the main room petting the cat, frowning slightly, looking at the rain outside the door, she didn't know what she was thinking.

"Aunt Xue got up so early~ ah~" Wang Yuan yawned again and again, feeling his head swell after not sleeping well: "Where is the big orange cat, it's quite fat~"

"The neighbor's on the west side, I often feed her, so she won't be afraid of me."

Aunt Xue scratched the itch under the big orange cat's neck, and the big orange cat stretched its neck and snored comfortably.

At noon, Wang Yuan invited all the brothers and sisters in Luoyang to have a meal, and in the afternoon all the antiques were transported away.

Wang Yuan left 20 yuan in cash to Aunt Xue, of which 5 yuan was Aunt Xue's remuneration, and the rest of the money was for the purchase of antiques in the future.

"Aunt Xue, don't you want to go back to Harbin? Come back with me."

"That's fine. By the way, I know a friend who wants to open a new pit. Do you want to go and have a look? I heard it belongs to the Zhou Dynasty."

The goods that come out of the new pit can be traded on the spot-of course, it is a test of eyesight, and whether it will be eye-catching varies from person to person.

During the conversation between Wang Yuan and Aunt Xue yesterday, he also learned a lot about the situation of those mu robbers. They are rich and powerful but equally ruthless.

Many people in this era are more superstitious, but those gang of thieves lack awe of ghosts, let alone people. Pistols are standard equipment, and many people have submachine guns, grenades and the like.

Dare to shoot at the police, da da da~

Wang Yuan was not willing to deal with them, maybe the other party thought he was rich and wanted to tie him up. There were a lot of things like kidnapping, tearing up tickets, extortion and so on in the 90s.

"Forget it, let's talk about it when we have a chance." Wang Yuan and Aunt Xue left the small courtyard with their burdens, and took a taxi to the train station.

Sitting in the car and looking at the rapidly receding scenery outside the window, Wang Yuan sighed in his heart: "Luoyang, the capital of the gods, the ancient capital of thirteen dynasties, how many treasures are buried underground?"

In later generations, Wang Yuan came to Luoyang. This is a prefecture-level city with a very rich history. The history of establishing the capital for more than 1500 years has left too many treasures, such as the ruins of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, the ruins of the Luoyang City in the Han and Wei Dynasties, and Luoyang in the Sui and Tang Dynasties. The ruins of the city and so on are all here.

Some prince or noble may be buried under the mutton soup shop on the roadside.

……

All the way.

When the train was about to arrive in Harbin, it was just after 10 o'clock at night. The snoring on the train was intertwined with the announcer's voice, and there was a smell of feet and sweat in the air.

Aunt Xue was sitting on Wang Yuan's left, frowning and sighing: "Xiao Yuan, you said that the eldest son of my family... hey."

"What's wrong with him?"

"He said that he had another son and was very short of money. He wrote to me asking for money. Of course he didn't know where I live now. He sent the letter back to my original residence. My little sister sent me another telegram to tell me of."

Aunt Xue looked up at the night outside the window, and the stars and stars flashed by, which were villages.

Aunt Xue is richer now but doesn't have many friends, Wang Yuan is one of them.

Aunt Xue and Wang Yuan's mother are about the same age, Ergou is her second son, and she has a married eldest son.

It's just that during the most difficult days for Aunt Xue and Ergou, when the winter is not only not enough to eat, there is not enough firewood for heating and they may freeze to death, the eldest son dislikes their mother and son because he is a drag and ignores them.

Aunt Xue, an old mother, was heartbroken.

It's hard for an upright official to settle housework, and Wang Yuan doesn't know what to say, is he going to help Aunt Xue scold her eldest son?Then if the mother and son reconcile, wouldn't he be a human being inside and out?
"A lot of things can't be distinguished by right or wrong. Aunt Xue, you can do whatever you want in your heart. Anyway, our friends must support you."

"Well, I see."

Aunt Xue wanted to cry a little. During her most difficult time, she often reflected on herself, what did she do to let her eldest son down?No.

At that time, she was thinking, why didn't the eldest son strangle him when he was young?It's not like raising a white-eyed wolf... She still can't let go of it after such a long time.

……

After a night of rest in Harbin, Wang Yuan arrived home at 1:[-] noon the next day.

It's already summer vacation, and the little milk babies in the village are playing like crazy.

Every day is not digging out bird eggs, catching squirrels, fishing, or breaking other people's corn and roasting it. The mouth around the mouth is black.

Wang Yuan had just arrived home on his motorcycle when he saw his cousin Wang Lei running over with a basket.

Wang Lei is the fourth child of the second uncle's family, Wang Meng's younger brother, who is 14 years old this year.

The education level of children in Wangjiatun in the 90s was generally low. Many people left elementary school after two or three years of primary school—this is not bad.

After all, in the rural areas of many provinces, many children do not go to school. They are purely illiterate and illiterate. After decades, they will not even be able to use smartphones.

14-year-old Wang Lei is considered a quasi-adult.

Influenced by Wang Wen, Wang Yuan, Wang Qing, Wang Fang and others, the second uncle drove Wang Lei to junior high school with a stick.

But Wang Lei's heart has long been broken, and he often skips class during class, either to catch fish, catch toads, cicadas, or to pick up little girls.

"Leizi, what's the matter with you running in such a hurry?"

"Second brother, I touched several flying dragon eggs! I wondered if the chicken farm could hatch them? It would be too wasteful to eat them."

Wang Yuan parked his motorcycle and looked into the basket: "You bastard is lying to me, this is not a flying dragon's egg, it's obviously the egg of a half-shaved chicken."

Feilong's eggs are very similar to Sha Banji's eggs, but they can also deceive laymen. Wang Yuan has seen too many Feilong's eggs, so naturally he can't fool him.

"Hey, second brother, you are quite smart."

"I... you brat, see if I don't beat you up."

Wang Yuan chased Wang Lei, who was so frightened that he ran away, but how could he outrun Wang Yuan? He was brought back soon.

Li Yan was not at home, Wang Yuan took out the key from under the brick, opened the door and took Wang Lei in.

Put it on the table, wash a big watermelon, cut it and eat it with Wang Lei. Wang Lei wanted to stuff the watermelon rind in his mouth as if he had never eaten watermelon.

"Can you slow down a bit, look at how you are gobbling."

"Yeah, it's sweet, it's delicious... Oh, I'm dying of thirst just after coming down from Shanshang."

Wang Lei couldn't even articulate words clearly, and the red watermelon juice dripped down his chin after eating too much.

"By the way, why isn't my sister-in-law at home?"

"Maybe I went to visit...you will be in the third year of junior high school when school starts again? Do you have any ideas for the future?"

Not surprisingly, Wang Lei couldn't get into a technical secondary school or a high school. After finishing junior high school and getting a diploma, he entered the society.

"I didn't think about it. I just count it as a day. What's the use of thinking so far? It's useless to think about it if the plan can't keep up with the changes."

"Ouch~ You still have an idea?" Wang Yuan laughed instantly.

Soon.

There was a sound of meowing, and then the fat big white cat ran into the house, followed by a little girl who was holding a big carp covered in mud.

"Oh, I'll go...Little girl, where did you catch the fish? Look at your body."

The little girl was barefoot with her trousers rolled up, her coat, trousers and calves were all covered with mud, and her fair little face was also stained with mud.

The big carp is more than half a meter long, and the fine scales have bluish-white light, which looks very beautiful.

"I caught it in the Nanwa River, Brother Huzi gave it to me...the river was blown up there."

It turned out that due to irrigation, the water in the river was almost drained by the machine, and the fish would naturally come out when the water was drained, and now everyone in the village went fishing.

After throwing the big carp into the water tank in the yard, and changing the little girl's clothes, Wang Yuan ran to Nanwa with two buckets, Leizi and the little girl chased after him on the right.

There is an endless peanut field by the river. From a distance, many people gather around the river, and people from the village next door come to watch the excitement. It is really crowded.

People in this era are not so delicate, and they don't think the mud is dirty. Many people rolled up their trouser legs and were catching fish in the river.

The [-]-meter-long section of the river where the water was drained was drained, and there was still a lot of water in other places at both ends. Countless villagers gathered in the [-]-meter-long section of the river.

"Oh, catch a big one!"

"Mandarin fish!? It's really a mandarin fish! It's making a lot of money... Hey, hey, the fish ran away!"

"Hurry up, hurry up, whoever catches it belongs to him."

The half-meter-long big fish was so powerful that it broke free from the man's hand as soon as it pouted. In an instant, other people started to catch the fish, and the people on the shore also booed one after another. It was very lively and interesting for a while.

The mud at the bottom of the river surged up, and the river section of hundreds of meters was full of mud soup, and some fish were choked up.

Wang Yuan pulled away the crowd and soon found his wife Li Yan. It turned out that she didn't go to visit, but came to fish.

Li Yan was sitting on the grass by the river, her trouser legs and sleeves were rolled up, her calves, feet and arms were covered with black mud.

She was chatting with Aunt Yue on the right, looking excited, and there were some touched fish in the plastic bucket in front of her.

"Hey, Swallow! Are you going down the river? Hey~ I just caught so few fish, it's not worth burying this whole body."

Li Yan turned her head and saw that Wang Yuan couldn't stop smiling on her face instantly. She raised her toes embarrassedly and hid her feet in the green grass.

"I can't catch the fish... don't talk about me, go catch it, there are still a lot of big fish in it."

"Okay, let's see mine."

Wang Yuan took off his shoes, rolled up his trouser legs, and walked into the river with a bucket in his hand. Whether it was hunting or fishing, it was often more like a game.

Not only do people relax, but the last prey they catch or the fish they touch can also be eaten, killing two birds with one stone.

The cold water of the river is quite comfortable, and there is a thick smell of sludge on the river surface. The fish in the river are swimming around desperately, hitting their calves.

Wang Yuan's goal is very clear, as long as there are two types of fish, one is about ten centimeters in size, and it is easy to fry with the same size.The other is a big fish that weighs two catties.

Soon Wang Yuan touched a big crucian carp weighing 3 catties. The moment he left the river holding the big crucian carp with both hands, his face also turned into a flower with a smile.
