Return to 1983 Hunting Xing'an Mountains

Chapter 144 How greedy are we, dad? What is greed? (Additional updates for orders over 300)

Xu Ning and Li Fuqiang tied the rope around their waists and carried it on their shoulders. They struggled to pull the big orphan pig weighing more than 600 kilograms out of the pig's nest. Then they went down the mountain with ease.

Because the pig was too heavy, the two of them did not climb over the mountain, but followed the ravine around the black stone pond and headed towards the right peak of Xima Duozi.

However, there were also many hills with gentle slopes, so we had no choice but to drag the big pig forward.

They had been wandering around in the mountains all day, covering more than twenty miles. Although they had eaten something briefly at noon, it was almost evening and their stomachs were already empty.

The two of them were so exhausted that they were sweating profusely. The autumn clothes in their cotton-padded jackets had been soaked. When the biting cold wind got into their collars, they were shivering!

And Wang Hu was not much better. It was almost four o'clock before he left. If he wanted to rush to the village before the forest farm got off work, he had to run forward non-stop. The distance between Heishitang From Xima Duozi to Qing'an Village, they had to cover a total of more than ten miles!

If it were a spacious and snow-free flat road, it wouldn't be a problem for Wang Hu, but the mountains were full of slopes and snow, making every step he took extremely difficult.

When Wang Hu went up the mountain, he leaned forward to reduce the load and maintain balance. When he went downhill, he sat on the cloth bag and slid down, which saved a lot of time and energy.

When he reached the intersection between Qing'an and Taipingtun, he met Yu Kaihe who was going to the mountain to pull firewood.

After a brief conversation between the two, Yu Kaihe let him sit on the donkey cart, and then drove the donkey cart to the Tunbu area.

By the time he arrived at the village, Wang Hu had already recovered. He jumped out of the car and ran to the house. He opened the door curtain and entered the house, which shocked Du Shoucai. He thought something had happened.

"Huzi? What, what happened?"

Wang Hu gasped for breath and couldn't reply to him at all. He only glanced at the clock hanging on the wall. Seeing that the forest farm had not yet got off work, he pointed to the phone on the table.

"Sir, let me call the forestry farm."

Du Shoucai looked at him sideways and concluded that he had just come back from the mountain. Seeing him walking in a hurry, he must have encountered something.

"Then hit quickly!"

Wang Hu shivered and grabbed the phone and dialed the forest farm's phone number.

"Looking for Xu Chunlin! Accountant Xu! I am Wang Hu..."

The other party asked him to wait. After a while, Du Shoucai asked: "What's going on? Something happened on Erning Fang Mountain?"

"No... uncle, my second brother put a dead pig on the mountain."

Du Shoucai was stunned, "Big pig? Is it the 600-pound pig that was reported in the first two days?"

Wang Hu nodded, and then Xu Chunlin's movements came from the microphone.

Xu Chunlin had already packed his things and was getting ready to get off work. When he was about to go out, he heard Xiao Liu in the reception room calling him hurriedly.

He told him that someone at home had called him, and the tone sounded anxious. Xu Chunlin thought something had happened, so he hurried to the reception room.

"Huzi? What happened..."

Wang Hu had already calmed down a lot and said to the phone: "Uncle, my second brother... we have died for that big pig shell. Now my second brother and the others are dragging them down the mountain. My second brother asked you to go find Guo Guo." Uncle, ask him to send a car to the right peak of Ximaduozi to meet him, preferably Yang Jun from 28 Lengchang. Didn’t he say that whoever kills this pig will be given 50 yuan?"

Xu Chunlin was stunned when he heard this, "You're going to die now? Hey, I...then you're all right."

"Nothing's wrong. It's almost four o'clock after Kei died. My second brother asked me to go down the mountain first and call you. This is more than ten miles of mountain road... Uncle, my second brother said that Yang Jun would give 50..."

Wang Hu was afraid that Xu Chunlin would forget him, but who was he? As long as the word money is mentioned, he will never forget it.

"Okay, I know how to fix it. We'll talk to you when we get home... Where are you at Tunbu?"

"Well, my second brother won't let me go home."

"If you don't want to go home, please wait in the village. I'll pick you up in the car later."

"it is good."

Xu Chunlin put down the microphone with a 'pop' sound, and then burst into laughter in front of Xiao Liu in the reception room. He was so high-spirited.

"Accountant Xu, what good thing happened?"

Xu Chunlin laughed and said: "Haha... didn't the director of the field ask him to beat that hurting pig yesterday? My son died today!"

Xiao Liu was startled and said: "Oh my god, how cruel is he? That's a big pig weighing over 600 kilograms!"

Xu Chunlin waved his hand, "It's not a big deal, where does the director put it?"

"It's in the office. It's almost time to get off work. I guess I have to go back."

Xu Chunlin said hello to Xiao Liu and hurried to the office to find Guo Xingmin.

Most people knew that the forest farm was going to beat up the injuring pig, because this matter had been discussed in a meeting and approved by the forest farm leaders.

However, after the pig shell was removed, the subsidies issued were not disclosed. Only the leaders of the forest farm and Xu Chunlin and a few other people knew about it.

At this time, Guo Xingmin was wearing a scarf. His home was in Qinglitun, not far from the forest farm. He usually did not take the train, but only rode a bicycle or walked back. It was all about exercising.

Just as he was about to open the door and walk out, he was blocked in the office by Xu Chunlin.

He looked at Xu Chunlin with a smile on his face and joy all over his body, and asked, "What's going on, brother? What's the good news?"

Xu Chunlin turned around quickly, closed the door, and said with a smile: "Haha, something good is indeed happening! My little kid died because of that big pig's shell!"

Guo Xingmin was a little confused when he heard this, "What are you doing?"

He just told Xu Chunlin about this yesterday. He originally wanted Xu Ning to take a walk up the mountain to try his luck, but he didn't expect that he would die!

"Is this going to kill me?..."

Guo Xingmin was actually a little surprised. He knew that it was not easy to fight in the mountains, but Xu Erning was too neat in doing things. He died as soon as he said he would die, as if it was a joke.

He opened his mouth slightly and asked, "What about Er Ning? Are they okay?"

"Nothing's wrong, this little guy has his own rules and regulations. As soon as he finished shelling the pig, he sent a tiger down the mountain to call me. I'll follow up on the letter and come to find you!"

Xu Chunlin took the cigarette handed over by Guo Xingmin, put the remaining half of the box of Shilin into his pocket, and said: "They were pigs that died before four o'clock, maybe around three-thirty, and it's almost five o'clock now, Er Ning Now I'm on the mountain, and I want you to send a car to the right peak of Ximaduozi to meet you..."

Guo Xingmin understood instantly and said hurriedly: "I'll arrange a car right away!"

"Don't! Didn't Yang Jun, the leader of 28 Lengchang, also say that whoever removes the husks from this pig will be given 50 yuan? It's better for me to come forward than you. Then Yang Jun concealed it and didn't report it, but he made a mistake. We The forest farm didn’t punish him either..."

The words are here, the point is over.

Guo Xingmin suddenly came back to his senses and nodded: "Okay, I'll call the nearest station and ask them to notify Yang Jun. Where can I pick him up?"

"You just ask him to go to Qing'an Tunbu and pick up Huzi first, and Huzi will tell him where to go."

"Okay!"

Immediately, the two walked out of the office and walked towards the reception room.

"Brother, you can go directly to allocate 80 yuan later, write it down in your book first, and then put it into your account at the end of the month."

"Okay! Just do it as you please."

Guo Xingmin said with a smile: "This Er Ning's work is called Saluo. I just finished telling you yesterday, and now he is dead. You just gave me a shock."

"I'm a little confused too. Who would have thought... this little kid is really good at fighting sieges."

Guo Xingmin looked at him and smiled. He had heard a lot of praise for Xu Erning from Xu Laowen these days. Normally, he would have been scolded. This shows that Xu Ning has indeed learned well, and what he has done these days makes Xu Chunlin feel quite proud as a father.

Even though Xu Chunlin and Xu Ning had troubles and quarrels all day long, this was the way he and Xu Ning got along. Xu Chunlin enjoyed it, but sometimes they made trouble, which made him really angry and wanted to hit Xu Ning. Take a rest and relieve the hatred in your heart!

Guo Xingmin picked up the phone in the reception room and called the station closest to 28 Leng Chang. This station is mainly used to prevent fires and solve the water problem of nearby Leng Chang.

Of course, in winter, there is no need to go all the way to the station to fetch water. It can be solved by melting some snow nearby. This is mainly used to solve the problem of water for the guards and forest rangers at Lengchang after the beginning of spring.

After Guo Xingmin hung up the phone, he followed Xu Chunlin outside. It was already time to get off work, and there was a crowd of people at the door.

Wang Erli and Xu Long were standing at the door, thinking that usually Xu Chunlin was more active than anyone else after get off work, so why was he so lazy now?

When they saw him and Guo Xingmin coming out together, they found out why through chatting.

"Oh shit! Is this the case?" Xu Long was shocked.

Wang Erli opened his mouth: "They left around seven o'clock this morning, and they were found before four o'clock in the afternoon?"

Guo Xingmin said with a smile: "I'm also quite puzzled. Others searched for it in the mountains for two or three days but couldn't find it. How did Er Ning find it?"

Xu Chunlin narrowed his eyes and said, "This kid knows how to pinch tracks. I don't know who he learned it from. His eyesight is very good... When Wang Xing was in front of the siege, he pinched deer tracks and green leather tracks. Won't the shells fall off?"

Guo Xingmin nodded. At this time, he came to the fork in the road. He said hello to the three of them and walked towards Qingli Tun.

The three of them, Xu Chunlin, boarded the train.

In the corner of the small train, Xu Chunlin looked at Wang Erli and said with a smile: "Erli, how are you? I am an old son who can make do with it, right? Haha."

Wang Erli curled his lips, "It's not you who is dead. Why are you pretending?"

"That's my son!"

"Ha, when it's useful, he's your son, but when it's not, he's a bastard, Zhen Zhen..."

Xu Chunlin glared and said anxiously: "What a fart! I'm just asking you if you accept it."

"I'm not convinced! If you have a tank, let's go to the mountains to practice alone next time. Then you have to compete with your son. My son has graduated from junior high school! You two sons are out of school! Do you know?"

"You're so bragging, my eldest son was a soldier!"

"Oh, my dad also fought in so many wars."

Xu Chunlin sneered, "My father has played two more games than your father..."

Xu Long listened to the two talking more and more excitedly, attracting the attention of the people next to him.

He hurriedly raised his hand to stop him and said: "Dad, second uncle, let's not mention my grandpa...my grandpa is only a few years old."

"Just wait, he is just jealous!"

Wang Erli smiled and said: "I'm not like you..."

At this time, Xu Chunlin took out 80 yuan from his pocket and collected 8 big tickets in total. He turned his back so that no one else could look at him, but Xu Long and Wang Erli looked at it carefully, causing Wang Erli to hold back what he said.

"I said you can't do it. Is there something wrong with you?"

Xu Chunlin tilted his head and stared at Wang Erli and asked.

"It's okay, brother, it's whatever you say, haha... these two sentences don't mean haha."

Xu Long glanced at the people around him and said quietly: "Dad, how much are we greedy for?"

Xu Chunlin frowned, "What is greed? This is the income from labor. If I hadn't introduced him to work, would he have earned some money? I first told him that the forest farm would give him 50 yuan, so I took 30 yuan as running fees."

Wang Erli blinked, pointed at Xu Long and said, "What about us?"

"I'll give you two five dollars..."

"That won't work! If I don't talk to you, can Er Ning shell that big pig? Besides, there's still a hurdle to get home. Then my mother..."

Wang Erli nodded: "It's not that good, just give us five yuan? We should split it equally, Dalong, right?"

"Satisfied!" Xu Long nodded.

Xu Chunlin squinted his eyes, "I know the virtues of both of you."

Then he took out two big ones and handed them to the two of them. He put one into his trouser pocket and the remaining five into the inner pocket of his cotton-padded jacket.

In fact, he had already thought about how to divide the money. Just now, he just wanted Wang Erli to bow his head. How could he have thought that Xu Long, a big loser, would speak up first? He is simply a traitor!

After receiving the money, Wang Erli and Xu Long put it into their pockets with smiles on their faces. The three of them were arm-in-arm, acting like brothers.

"Dad, if my mother wants to fight you later, I will definitely ask Juan'er to hold her back. Don't worry!"

"Yeah, I'll ask Fengjiao to stop..."

Xu Chunlin squinted at the two of them, "That's all you two peed."

At this moment, Yang Jun, who was far away in 28 Lengchang, was in a daze. He had just set up the stove in the shack and roasted two potatoes by hand. He wanted to eat it with sauerkraut in the evening.

Unexpectedly, the person on duty at a nearby station came over and told him to go to Qing'an Tunbu immediately. He also bluntly told him that the pig he paid to beat had already been shelled to death.

Why was Yang Jun confused? Because this call was made by the director himself.

After sending the person on duty away, he got into the car and then stepped on the accelerator and drove towards Qing'an Tunbu.

"I didn't tell the director about this... why did he call me?"

In the middle of the journey, Yang Jun stopped the car and looked through the money in his pocket, carefully counting exactly 72 yuan and 6 cents.

"I'm really thinking that this big pig ran away, but it's really dead... Oh my god!"

At first, Yang Jun came up to show off his prowess. After boasting about Haikou in front of the Lengchang workers, he felt a little frustrated, so he went to Qing'an to find the Chang brothers and Xu Ning to beat the big pig.

But when he calmed down in the past two days, he felt a little regretful, pretending to be useless!

If the Chang brothers really die for the pig shell, besides spending 80 yuan in vain, can they still eat the pork? Why put it in your mouth?

If someone else killed him, he would have lost 50 yuan.

Yang Jun raised his hand and slapped himself, "How can you pretend to be so good... Hey! Don't worry about the Chang brothers, I don't have enough money in my pocket..."

When he arrived at Qing'an Village, he saw a young man. He had seen Wang Hu once, but he didn't recognize him because Wang Hu was wearing a hat and a cotton scarf, covering his face tightly.

"Wang Hu?"

"Ah, Brother Yang Jun, it's me."

Wang Hu pulled open the car door and got in. He turned around to say hello to Du Shoucai and asked Yang Jun to quickly drive to the right peak of Xima Duozi.

Yang Jun asked a few questions on the way, and Wang Hu briefly talked about pinching and tracking pigs.

Only then did Yang Jun realize what he was talking about, and murmured in his heart: If you want to hit me, just say so. After all this beating around the bush, am I the one who won’t give you the money? If you have already said it, how can I be the leader in the future if you don’t give me the money? Work.
