Return to 1983 Hunting Xing'an Mountains

Chapter 10 Big Yellow Dog’s First Visit
  At this time, Li Fuqiang put the meat on the pot table, as if offering a treasure, and said: "Daughter-in-law, look at the meat that my uncle brought for us!"

Yang Shuhua's eyes lit up when she saw the rib fan, two elbows, the back bone and the fat.

Over the years, the best meat that Li Fuqiang has brought back is jumping cat and pheasant.

Usually, after she had cooked a big banquet for others, the owner would give her some leftovers and then take them home to satisfy their two children's cravings.

Seeing this old man with such good flesh, she felt really beautiful.

Speaking of Chinese New Year, I can finally have a decent New Year’s Eve dinner.

Since the old Xu family was so generous, there was no need for her to pretend, so she said, "Okay, let me soak the fat in water."

She still ignored Li Fuqiang. Xu Ning glanced at her and said with a smile, "Let my elder brother freeze the meat in a vat outside."

Yang Shuhua raised her head, glanced at Li Fuqiang, and said angrily: "What are you looking at? Brother asked you to put the meat in the vat outside!"

Li Fuqiang was stunned for a moment and then reacted, "Ah, okay, okay!"

This was the first time his wife spoke to him in the past two months, and she bared her teeth in a silly voice.

Then, he carried the meat out and went to the lower room, put the meat into bags and threw it into the sauce jar.

These days, there are no refrigerators in rural areas of Northeast China.

So I put my daily food, such as sticky bean buns and dumplings, outside.

In order to prevent animals from nibbling, the food is placed in the sauce jar and covered with a curtain and quilt to form a natural refrigerator.

Vegetables stored in winter, such as cabbage, potatoes, radishes, etc., are buried in soil in the cellar. This way they can be stored for a long time and prevent them from freezing.

In the room, Xu Ning leaned against the door frame and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, you and my eldest brother are always like this."

He shouldn't say this. Firstly, he is not married, and secondly, he is an outsider.

But he had to say it, and he had to say it thoroughly!
  "What should we do? Who in the village doesn't talk about him? Let's see how many people can look up to him."

"No one is perfect. Who doesn't have shortcomings? Let's change them."

Yang Shuhua sneered: "A dog can't change its habit of eating shit."

Thinking of Xu Ning again, she hurriedly said: "Sister-in-law is not talking about you."

Xu Ning didn't care, "It's okay, I do deserve to be scolded. Sister-in-law, do you believe me? I can definitely change for the better, and I can also make my elder brother change for the better."

Yang Shuhua smiled and said nothing, obviously not believing it.

Okay, that's all for nothing.

……

There are 86 households in Qing'an Village, about 300 people.

Most of their ancestral origins are from various places in the north, such as western Liaoning, eastern Liaoning, eastern Mongolia, northern Jilin, and eastern Shandong.

There are many reasons for taking root here, such as supporting construction, famine disasters...

But over generations, they have integrated dialects and traditions from all over the north.

So there are no cultural differences.

At this time, Lao Xu's house was quite lively.

Ever since Liu Daming entered the room, his mouth hadn't stopped.

He leaned against the door frame, holding a cigarette, and told how Xu Ning showed off his power on the mountain.

His startling narration made Liu Lizhen and Han Fengjiao feel their hearts pounding, like a roller coaster.

At first, the two of them didn't believe it, because it was Xu Erning who didn't do anything serious. How had he ever learned how to fight siege? How could it be possible to do such a big thing.

But after Xu Long and Wang Hu helped each other, they finally believed it.

When Han Fengjiao heard that Wang Erli was taking risks, she knew there was something fishy going on.

He gritted his teeth and said angrily to Wang Hu: "Your dad is acting like a monster again, isn't he? If he hadn't shot in advance, would your uncle have been in this danger?"

Wang Hu smiled and did not dare to say a word.

Xu Long smoothed things over: "Second aunt, isn't my dad okay?"

"It will be too late if something happens! Wait until he comes back."

Liu Lizhen, who had remained silent, was already stunned by the story told by her brother.

Just like Xu Chunlin witnessed Xu Ning using a sledgehammer to fuck a pig, her heart was full of emotions at this moment.

This is the first time Xu Ning has done such a big thing since he was born in the old Xu family.

How can a mother not be excited about this?
  She couldn't help but think: Is this what my donkey son did?
  But looking around, she didn't see her animal son.

Then he said with a straight face: "Why didn't Er Ning come back? Are you going to make money again?"

When Liu Daming heard this, he slapped his thigh fiercely, "Oh my god, I was so focused on bragging that I forgot..."

Xu Long answered: "Mom, I forgot to tell you. My dad said that Li Fuqiang and his family would come over for dinner in the evening, and Er Ning went over to invite him."

Liu Lizhen felt a lot more relieved when she heard that her son had not gone out to make money.

"We have to invite people to dinner. Li Fuqiang usually seems not to be successful, but he is quite reliable at critical moments." Han Fengjiao said suspiciously: "Then Erning almost..."

When Liu Daming heard about it, he explained what happened last night.

Hearing that it was a misunderstanding, Liu Lizhen said: "So, Li Fuqiang is quite benevolent and righteous."

Han Fengjiao asked: "Why do people in the village say his wine is not good?"

Liu Daming said whatever he had to say, "It's not that the wine is not good, it's just that he drank a lot, liked to chatter, and talked nonsense on the wheel. I didn't hear him playing around after drinking. Besides, he hadn't interacted with the villagers for a long time. People are in contact.”

Han Fengjiao nodded: "It's true that we don't have much contact with him. I heard from Mrs. Huang that he is quite independent. Just because he drinks, his wife doesn't pay much attention to him at home."

Being unique is generally described as a person in the Northeast who is difficult to get along with.

Liu Lizhen frowned: "Well, Yang Shuhua is such a good person. She was the one who prepared the banquet for Xu Long's wedding."

"Yeah!"

At this time, the big yellow dog in the yard barked.

Everyone looked up and hurried out to greet him.

Although the visitor was not a distinguished guest, this was the first official contact between the two families, so they had to show their attitude.

You must know that all the old foreign cannons passed down by the old Li family have been smashed.

In the courtyard, the big yellow dog kept barking.

Seeing this, Xu Ning walked over and patted it on the head to stop its screams.

This big yellow dog and the little yellow from the Wang family next door are both hunting dogs.

But they are not the leader, but the helper.

As the name suggests, the chief dog is the general who leads the war and is responsible for tracking and issuing orders.

The side dogs are the left and right vanguards who follow the lead dog and charge into battle!

The door of the house opened, and Liu Lizhen and others came out to greet them.

This surprised Yang Shuhua, and she didn't think much about it.

Xu Ning then said: "Mom, my eldest brother and sister-in-law are here."

Usually the two families have little contact, only he and Li Fuqiang have friendship.

So he had to start the conversation first and let Liu Lizhen know who he was.

Otherwise, it would be a joke to call him a poor person.

Li Fuqiang called her: "Auntie."

We were chatting in the room just now, and no one mentioned Li Fuqiang's address to Xu Chunlin.

Therefore, Liu Lizhen was stunned for a moment, but she soon recovered.

"Auntie."

Yang Shuhua also called her.

Liu Lizhen greeted him with a smile, nodded to Li Fuqiang, and took Yang Shuhua's arm.

"Come in quickly, but I haven't seen Shuhua in a while."

Yang Shuhua said with a smile: "Yeah, I usually stay at home and only go out when I have work."

"You have to visit us more often from now on. We are not outsiders. We treat this as our own home. Don't be polite to my aunt."

Han Fengjiao answered: "What are these heretics? They all live in the same village. Besides, before Dalong got married, it was Shuhua who held the spoon. Everyone at the dinner table praised her and said that Shuhua was good at her craftsmanship. "

"No way!"

If you open up your chat box, this game won't be cold.

Everyone gradually became familiar with each other, and Liu Lizhen pulled Yang Shuhua into the east room.

Han Fengjiao poured some tea and handed it to her, and then they started chatting about their daily life.

Xu Ning looked around, but didn't see Li Fuqiang.

I was a little confused, why did he disappear without taking care of me for a while?

But he didn't take it to heart, thinking that maybe he had gone to the hut.

In the house, Yang Shuhua also noticed it while sitting on the edge of the Kang, feeling very angry in her heart.

How could anyone disappear without even entering the house when they visit for the first time?

This is too ignorant!
  I feel more and more disappointed with Li Fuqiang.
