hunting in 1986

A call to Aunt Xue was quickly connected.

When she learned that Wang Yuan wanted to find a job for her sister-in-law, Aunt Xue readily agreed. She wanted Li Ping to work in the clothing store she opened in the provincial capital. She heard Wang Yuan say that Li Ping wanted to work on a farm. Then I was a little surprised:
"Little girls go to the farm to have a good time? The farm is full of rough work... How good it is to come to the provincial capital, and there are many delicious and interesting things in the big city. I recently opened a big restaurant. The clothing store recruited a lot of little girls, and they also have a common topic when they are together."

Wang Yuan turned his head and glanced at Li Ping who was sitting on the edge of the Kang with her hands in her hands. She also listened to the outgoing function of the phone.

"Did you hear that too? Are you going?"

"I...I'd better not go." Li Ping was conflicted in her heart, and finally retreated timidly:
"Let's go to the farm in Baiwu Township. It's also close to home. When I want to eat duck meat, I can just go home and eat it."

Both Wang Yuan and Li Yan were amused, and Li Yan even stroked Li Ping's hair.

She is really helpless for her sister who grew up with her since she was a child. She can't control it but still wants to control it. She doesn't worry less.

Wang Yuan told Aunt Xue about Li Ping's thoughts, and Aunt Xue agreed and said that she would go back to the farm tomorrow, and she is still in the provincial capital.

Li Ping spent the whole night in agitation, tossing and turning, and slept for a while until dawn.

After getting up, Li Ping had two big dark circles under her eyes, and Li Yan, who yawned repeatedly, frowned: "I went to bed at 9 o'clock last night, and now it's 7 o'clock the next day. Why are you still so sleepy after sleeping for so long?" ?”

"I didn't fall asleep all the time. I just thought about going to work on the farm. Sister, how much money do you think I can earn a day? Why can I earn 1 yuan a day? I am satisfied if I can earn 1 yuan. "

In 1994, wages in cities had generally reached 5 to 10 yuan a day, but it was completely different in rural areas.

There are few job opportunities, and there is no shortage of labor during the slack season. You can do coolie work for more than ten hours a day with very little pay.

Lunch was relatively early, and after the meal, Wang Yuan drove Li Yan and Li Ping to Baiwu Township on a motorcycle.

As for the three children... of course they are left to the mother to watch over.

The cold wind blew through the surroundings, and Li Yan and Li Ping who were behind couldn't open their eyes at all.

Everything is bleak and the grass is so dry that the snow will fall soon.

The dirt road was bumpy, and Li Yan always bumped into him when she was sitting behind him, which made him and her blush slightly.

"Ride slowly, it's almost falling apart."

When I came to Baiwu Township, I saw the farm sheds from a distance, and the sheds lined up together were very spectacular, as if they had become a scene of Baiwu Township.

Arriving at the gate of the farm, Ergou, who was playing cards with the workers in the small room next to him, poked his head out of the window:
"Brother Yuan is here? I'll open the door for you right now!"

As the big iron gate opened, Wang Yuan pushed the motorcycle in, and Li Ping, who followed in, looked around and found a desolate, dead grass everywhere, with no life at all.

There are buildings in the distance, presumably houses and stables or something.

Wearing a thick black cotton coat, Er Gou was bloated like a ball, his head was shaved and shiny, and there was a 5-6 cm long scar on the left side.

"You bald head..."

"Ouch, I was so excited to see you, Brother Yuan, I ran out without my hat on." Er Gou jumped into the hut to put on his hat, and ran so fast that the door slammed and slammed.

Li Yan smiled and said, "This kid is still so frizzy."

After Ergou put on his hat, he came out and took Wang Yuan and the others to the yard in the middle of the farm. Wang Yuan had just seen the scar on Ergou's head, and asked curiously, only to find out that he fell from a motorcycle.

"The head is different from the arms and legs. If you make a fuss, you will be fooled. Be careful."

"Hey, I raced motorcycles with them. The kid who raced against me is not afraid of death at all, so I can be afraid of him? He rode me and rode Kuchi~ fell, hehe~"

Er Gou was very optimistic, and he was very happy with his big teeth bared: "It's nothing to worry about, our body is so good!"

"It doesn't matter!? Hahaha~"

When I came to the south yard in the middle of the farm, I heard the sound of playing cards before entering the house.

"A pair of six!"

"One pair two!"

"fry!"

"Mother! Stop playing cards, Brother Yuan and the others are here!" Er Gou yelled and soon the door opened, and the first person to come out was not Aunt Xue but "Liu Sufen". The woman was in her thirties, with a long smile on her face. But especially brilliant.

Wang Yuan knew her, and she was a pitiful person. Liu Sufen had been married to a man for two years before she was sold to a man from another province. She had no cultural appointment and followed the second man. , and it turned out that less than three years later, the second man would sell her if he lost his money.

She ran away secretly, and Aunt Xue brought her back from the pass when she met her pity for her experience.

All these were told by Aunt Xue to Wang Yuan. The women that Aunt Xue took in had their own tragic stories, and it was their blessing to meet Aunt Xue.

They are very sincere to Aunt Xue, and being good helpers to Aunt Xue is also a reward for the latter.

Aunt Xue, Zheng Mei, and Xiao Hongtao all came out of the house, and the atmosphere gradually became lively after welcoming everyone in.

Aunt Xue, who has experienced hardships, is very humane, can speak well, and will not neglect anyone present. She arranged for Li Ping to work as an accounting apprentice, learning from the accountant Lao Zhou of the farm.

"This job is easy, and I can learn a lot... I don't think there is anything more suitable for this little girl except this job."

Li Ping complied ignorantly, and after calling the accountant Lao Zhou to meet each other, the matter was considered a success.

After chatting in the warm room for a while, Aunt Xue took them to see the cooked vegetables and fruits in the greenhouse.

"A greenhouse is 20 meters long, 8 meters wide, and 3 meters high. We have a total of 50 greenhouses here. We originally planned to build 80 greenhouses, but the materials were not enough. I thought about building 50 first. Build more."

"Very good, is this a tomato? This little seedling looks like it."

Standing in the greenhouse and looking up at the sky outside, I couldn't see clearly because of the thick plastic sheeting.

There are rows of small seedlings on the ground, and the earthy and green ones look exciting. They walked from the south gate to the north gate on the soil ridge, and then went into other greenhouses to have a look.

In addition to tomatoes, there are cucumbers, beans, lettuce, rapeseed and the like, um, no Chinese cabbage.

The temperature in the shed was high, everyone was sweating after walking around inside, and it was really cool when the breeze blew out after coming out.

Stewed fish at noon. After eating their fill, Wang Yuan and Li Yan went to rest in their yard. The yard was reserved for them when the farm was established, but they rarely came to live there.

When I woke up, it was already 3:[-] in the afternoon.

Li Yan got up from the kang, looked at the sky outside and said:
"We should go back too, it's getting late."

"Why don't we stay here for a night, we haven't visited the breeding area and fishing area yet, and look at the big geese, goats, and sika deer raised by Aunt Xue and the others..."

"What are you looking at, don't you care about the children at home? I haven't been around for so long, and I don't know if those three little guys are crying or not."

Li Yan also wanted to stay, but she couldn't let go of the three little ones at home. The flesh falling from her body touched her heart, and she was afraid that Wang Yuan's mother wouldn't be able to coax them to cry.

"Isn't my mother watching? If you cry... just cry, and stop crying when you're tired."

"Huh? Listen to what you say as a father. Anyway, I don't care. I must go back tonight. If you don't go back, I will go back." Li Yan's face was swollen like a meat bun. Sitting on Wang Yuan's right side with his legs sideways, he glanced at him and fell silent.

Wang Yuan smiled instantly:
"Still walking back? Don't think it won't take long to ride a motorcycle. It's a motorcycle that runs fast...Walking back? Prepare to break your legs. Besides, there are black blind men in the woods. You are not afraid of black blind men. Are you taking it away?"

"Cut~ How can there be so many black blinds? You can almost beat up the black blinds."

Although she said so, Li Yan was really a little scared in her heart.

Ergou and a few workers built a small earthen kiln in the yard, and pieces of venison were brushed with seasoning and put on iron skewers with hooks for a while.

sizzle~
The aroma of venison came out from the air outlet of the kiln, and drifted into the air, causing everyone to swallow their saliva.

"Oh my god, it smells so good!"

"This little earthen kiln is quite good, next time we will use this thing to barbecue."

"Is there any wine? Go and get the wine. Only when there is wine and meat can life be happy."

The small earthen kiln was about one meter high and was built with clods and mud. Several workers stood beside them with their hands in their hands, talking and smiling, looking forward to the roasted venison later.

Wang Qing took Li Yan to chat, and she made a gesture—yeah?He whispered something to Li Yan, and then Li Yan let out a burst of exclamation.

Wang Yuan didn't understand what the two of them meant, so he looked away and chatted with Ergou.

Ergou smiled proudly:
"Stay a little longer and you can eat delicious barbecue...Brother Yuan, why don't you come and stay for one night? Let's play mahjong at night! They often play mahjong in the city."

"Huh? I'm afraid it won't work today. The three children are still at home. Your sister-in-law is in a hurry to go back and we'll leave after we finish eating the venison."

Ergou felt a pity for a moment, but quickly changed the subject:
"My mother always thinks that I'm having a bad life, so she thinks I should find someone... How can I have a bad life with my big teeth and silly music every day? I don't know how good it is."

Wang Yuan was stunned.

"Brother Yuan, help me persuade my mother, she is really going crazy."

Wang Yuan didn't even know what to say about him, it was just a way of life for one person, as for persuading Aunt Xue?Forget it, he won't get involved in their housework, and he won't be able to persuade them.

In addition to this matter, Ergou also mentioned that he wanted to build a screening hall. When he talked about this matter, he was full of envy and hatred:
"Brother Yuan, you may not know how profitable it is to run a screening room. The money really flows into your pocket like running water."

When it comes to excitement, Ergou is spitting, and he snapped his fingers like a quick glance:
"For a show during the day, it costs 2 cents to watch a show, and 5 cents to watch a show at night. You don't need a shop facing the street, just a remote house. A few tens of square meters are enough... Even if there are 30 people in one show, then One show at night is 15 yuan, and several shows can be played in one night, and several shows can be played in the daytime if you are more cautious... The equipment does not need much money."

"What do you want to release?" Wang Yuan glanced at him.

"Hey, what else is there? Pornographic videos, they are so cute."

Seeing the grinning Ergou, Wang Yuan really wanted to slap him.

Pornographic video halls may be regarded as a product of the times, and mobile phones and computers are so common in later generations...

"To be honest, if you are too poor to eat and you are about to live on the streets, then I won't say much. Are you so short of money now? Do something to make a living. You can earn money without such a big risk. .”

Wang Yuan's words made Ergou frown for a while, and the latter muttered: "It's not a good business to make money."

"How is it possible? There are a lot of businesses with high profits. For example, your mother makes a lot of money from opening a clothing store, right?"

Although Wang Yuan is no longer buying or selling clothes, he still has a good understanding of the basic market of clothing now. The location of the store should be better selected, and the goods can be controlled to really make a lot of money.

Moreover, Aunt Xue also opened several clothing stores, some of which cost thousands of dollars for a piece of fur, and the profits were quite high.

"Clothes? I don't like messing around with clothes. I deal with a bunch of girls every day, and I get annoyed when I see them."

"Hey, what are you talking about?"

Soon the venison was roasted, hooked out pieces of fragrant venison and put them on the cutting board, cut them into pieces and put them on the plate to eat. Ergou also adjusted the seasoning, saying that the venison was dipped in the seasoning before eating Taste better.

However, Wang Yuan still likes not to touch the seasoning, and it is easy and pleasant to eat and drink.

It was getting dark gradually, so they ate quickly, and when they were full, Wang Yuan and his wife left, while Li Ping stayed here.

Before leaving, Aunt Xue trimmed two deer legs, put them in a bag and tied them to the back seat of the motorcycle.

"Take it home and eat it, whether it's stewed or made with dumplings, it's delicious! Slow down on the road, come and play when you have time."

Wang Yuan and Li Yan pushed the motorcycle out, and Li Ping followed behind with some reluctance.

"Go back. It's cold outside. If you need anything, please call us. If you have a phone on the farm, do you know how to use it? You also know our phone number, right?"

Li Yan chattered tirelessly, and was relieved when she saw Li Ping nod her head.

chu chu chu ~
Wang Yuan drove Li Yan away, and the light of the car lights gradually faded away.

That night Li Ping lived in the house belonging to Wang Yuan and his wife. The strange environment, strange job, and all the novelties made her unable to sleep.

In the end, I was really sleepy and fell asleep under the warm blanket.

the other side.

After Wang Yuan and his wife returned home, they hurried to their mother's yard to pick up the three children.

"mom!"

"Mommy mommy!"

The good guys are all calling mom, not a single one calling dad, some running, some crawling, it's so lively.

Li Yan was very happy, hugging this and then that, with a happy smile all over her face.

Mom and the others are eating.

"Xiaoyuan, you haven't eaten yet, have you? You can save cooking by eating in this courtyard."
