Return to 1983 Hunting Xing'an Mountains

Chapter 193: You are the hero. Give me five dollars.

That night, the night was hazy.

At around six-thirty, after everyone who had been lying in the three rooms drunkenly woke up one after another, Liu Lizhen and others hurriedly made a fire and cooked food.

Wu Haiquan, Hai Long and others had all eaten as much as they wanted because they had been drinking at noon, so their stomachs must be empty and screaming with hunger.

After they put down their chopsticks, patted their bellies and stepped aside, Wang Shujuan took two households' tea and placed it on the kang. Then Xu Chunlin and others sat around the teapot, chatting with Wu Haiquan and Hai Long.

Wang Hu was assigned by Xu Ning to take Guan Hua to burn the kang in the east wing of old Xu's house. Everyone in the house unanimously agreed that Guan Hua would return to Wanye tomorrow, so the young people should not be left alone to get along with each other. space?

Han Fengjiao stood at the door and said with a smile: "Thankfully, Er Ning thought carefully."

"I have completely forgotten about this matter." Wang Erli said, waving his hands.

Wu Haiquan said with a smile: "Second uncle, I will come to pick up Leizi before the Chinese New Year. Then you will go to Wanye together?"

"Hai Quan, your second aunt and I are thinking of going there after the New Year. Why? We have to visit relatives and friends before the New Year. Why do I have to be in the 8th or 9th day of the Lunar New Year?"

Liu Lizhen came into the room with a plate of dumplings, "You don't have hands? You are a hero, why do you have a mouth to boss people around?"

Wu Haiquan had just washed his face and went to the latrine with Hai Long and Guan Lei. The three brothers probably had something to give them, but Xu Ning ignored them and just watched Yang Shuhua cooking dumplings and eggs.

"Got it."

Xu Chunlin nodded: "Yes, this is enough. Your sister will bring you half a fan of wild boar meat and two roe deer legs. Erli doesn't have much to play with at home, and if there is anything, it will be lost here."

Liu Lizhen gave him a blank look and said, "When you come back later, throw all these things into the car."

"Sister-in-law, please give me some pickles." Xu Ning said while sitting at the table wearing a cotton-padded jacket.

Wu Haiquan asked: "Leizi, come with us tomorrow, and I will send you directly to Lengchang."

It wasn't until nearly ten o'clock that Wang Hu and Guan Hua went home, and everyone in the house dispersed and went back to their houses to sleep.

"Hey, let my big brother fix it." Xu Ning turned around and looked at Li Fuqiang, "Brother!"

Han Fengjiao looked at the fish, wild boar, roe deer legs and other things piled up on the floor of the outer room. She came close to Liu Lizhen and said quietly: "Sister-in-law, can I get them some cigarettes and alcohol?"

After that, Li Fuqiang carried half a fan of wild boar meat and two roe deer legs and walked outside. He happened to bump into Wang Hu who climbed over the wall and ordered him to carry the remaining things. Then the two of them moved everything to the trunk.

"kindness."

"Brother, I will tell you everything." Liu Lizhen patted him on the shoulder and said angrily.

One morning, Xu Ning received two looks from his mother. He didn't know where his mother was angry. He only glanced at Xu Laowen and asked quietly: "Are you messing with my mother?"

Xu Ning said with a smile: "I don't dare to agree to this now, I'm not sure. But I, Shekong, will definitely go, don't worry."

Not long after he felt drowsy, he heard the sound of taking out ashes from the outer room. Xu Ning opened his eyes and saw Li Fuqiang lifting the door curtain and grinning at him.

Xu Ning glanced at Guan Lei and said, "That's not possible. Stones can endure hardships, so it's nothing to be tired."

Wu Haiquan nodded, but he didn't find fault with it. Although Xu Ning was not working seriously, he was also very busy this day. He usually had to go hiking, and sometimes he had to take care of people.

"That's okay." Wu Hailong turned around and looked at him for a while before nodding in agreement.

By the time Xu Ning came out of the hut, two tables had been placed in the east room and it was full of people.

Wu Hailong said: "Then Leizi will leave you here. If he wants to work in the forest farm, you can go directly to Wanye and call me."

Listening to Xu Ning's arrangement, Xu Laowen and Wang Erli both nodded, "Brother, this is the way to go."

"Er Ning said no, I'll wait until you go there after the New Year to bring cigarettes, alcohol, etc. That's enough."

"It's okay, Mom, it's just something I can do!" Wang Shujuan left the house after saying that.

"Brother-in-law, I went for a walk to Lao Huang's house last night and brought two pike and two silver carp from his house, both of which weighed more than ten kilograms. I had two pheasants left and gave them to Haiquan. Just keep it."

Xu Ning put on her cotton trousers, put on her shoes, put on her cotton jacket and ran towards the latrine. As soon as she passed by the outhouse, she was grabbed by Liu Lizhen.

"I'm not afraid that he won't be able to hold on. You can see his physique. I'm really afraid that he will be tired."

Li Fuqiang bent down and threw the cigarette butt into the stove pit, smiled and nodded: "Okay!"

Immediately, Xu Ning grinned and ran out the door, while Li Fuqiang said: "This is not a big deal, old aunt."

Xu Long bent down to place a stool, lowered his head and said quietly: "It's just that I don't like you."

"That's okay. Anyway, I'm on vacation until the 15th, and there won't be many people at home. Er Ning, will you come with your second uncle then?"

In the east room, Xu Feng, who was staring in confusion, was picked up by Liu Daming. Xu Chunlin hurriedly folded the quilt and piled it on the quilt.

Guan Lei smoked a cigarette and said: "Don't be tired, brother-in-law, you can rest assured, there is no way you will be embarrassed no matter what!"

"OK."

"I'm going to the hut, I can't hold it in any longer!"

"It's a simple matter. Tomorrow, Shitou and I will follow Brother Quan to Lengchang. After that, Brother Quan and the others will pick up the other end and go back to Wanye directly. After I send Shitou to Lengchang to settle down, I will come back by myself."

Xu Chunlin raised his hand and said, "No, I'll have someone come pick me up tomorrow, and I'll let Er Ning deliver it then."

That night, Wang Hu, Guan Hua, Wu Haiquan and others didn't sleep well. They tossed and turned and couldn't sleep because they were a little reluctant. Guan Lei fell asleep on the pillow and snored so loudly that Wu Haiquan, Wu Haiquan and others couldn't sleep. Hai Long and Xu Ning were both amused.

Xu Laowen frowned, "Don't talk nonsense! I'll make her laugh."

Han Fengjiao nodded: "That's okay."

"Don't you like me? Am I not performing well these days?" Xu Ning was puzzled.

"You're just pretending to be a brat, how are you doing? Haha, that's really funny." Xu Laowen sneered twice.

"..."

At this time, Wang Erli, Wu Haiquan and others entered the room. They were standing outside chatting just now. Xu Laowen immediately changed his face and warmly greeted the three of them to take a seat.

In the morning, I cooked three kinds of stuffed dumplings. The dishes were potato and radish strip soup, dried tofu mixed with cabbage hearts and pickles.

Liu Lizhen was sitting on the edge of the kang with a smile on her face. This made Xu Ning very puzzled, thinking in her heart how did he offend his mother? I am puzzled.

After the morning meal was finished and the table was moved away, Xu Feng took Guan Hua's arm and chatted for a while, while Liu Lizhen rolled her eyes in annoyance. The main reason was that Xu Feng was too annoying now.

If you're familiar with it, it's fine, but if you're not familiar with it and are new to it, you'll be thinking about the little girl from the old Xu family.

"Hurry up and go to school! The lunch boxes are placed on the pot table. You can take them and leave quickly."

Xu Ning grabbed the back of Xu Feng's neck and pulled Wang Biao's arm to the outhouse, while Liu Tianen and Jin Yumantang followed behind.

"Second brother, it's not time to go to school yet." "Don't be so impatient."

Liu Tianen picked up the lunch box and put it in his cross-body book pocket. He raised his head and said, "Second brother, are we going to go fishing this week?"

"Buttfish, you go skating in the reservoir."

Wang Biao's eyes lit up, "Second brother, what do you want to tell my parents?"

"Well, I'll give you a guarantee, but it can't be like last time, you know?"

"must!"

Immediately, Wang Biao and Liu Tianen led Xu Feng and Jin Yumantang to the main courtyard, turned back and waved to Guan Hua and others who were looking at them from the east room window, and then jumped out of the courtyard.

Inside the house, Wu Haiquan looked at Liu Lizhen and said, "Auntie, I will definitely come here before the Chinese New Year. Then I will trouble you, my second aunt, and my strong sister-in-law to give me some delicious food."

When Liu Lizhen heard this, she immediately laughed: "Haha, it must be done! Haiquan, it's no trouble or no trouble. If you can say this, you just treat this as your own home! Auntie, I'm happy in my heart! It must be done Delicious, haha..."

"Hai Quan, you can come anytime, but you have to remember one thing. Don't take anything back next time." Xu Chunlin said.

Wu Haiquan smiled and said nothing. Since he had to carry something when he came here, it didn't matter whether it was more or less, it was always the same. If you really don't take anything, then what's the point of playing?

"Hai Long, go back and tell your parents that we will go after the Chinese New Year. Then I will call Wanye to tell you in advance." Wang Erli said.

"Sure! Second uncle, I will drive over to pick you up when the time comes."

Wang Erli waved his hands, "Hey, what else are you going to do? Let's drive there by ourselves."

Everyone chatted in the room for half a while, and as they were about to arrive at the forest farm for work, Wu Haiquan and others got up and walked to the yard, followed by a group of people in the room.

"Hua'er, you go to the car with Brother Quan and Brother Long, and Shitou and I will stay in the trunk." Xu Ning said.

Wu Hailong pulled him and said: "Is that possible? Brother doesn't know where to put it in the 17th Lengchang. You go to the car and show him the way. Leizi and I will stay behind."

Guan Lei threw the bedding into the trunk and nodded: "Brother Ning, go and show the way."

Xu Ning nodded: "Okay, take out the cans with bear oil in the trunk. It's easy to get hit later."

"Bear oil?" Wu Hailong muttered, walked around to the carriage and took a look inside, and saw a pile of things.

"Oh my God, uncle and uncle, why do you get these old things?"

Wang Erli said with a smile: "Just take it and eat it!"

"These are all my own things, and they didn't come with money. What are you afraid of?"

Wu Haiquan walked to the back, took a look, and said, "These are all good things! Uncle and second uncle, you can keep them to eat. There is no need to bring them to us..."

Liu Lizhen said: "If we want to eat, we ask Er Ning to go to the mountains to hunt. With such a person at home, are we afraid that we won't be able to eat meat?"

"Okay, Haiquan, get in the car and go!"

Wu Haiquan looked at the people standing at the entrance of the courtyard, nodded and said: "Okay, let's go first..."

"Let's go!"

Wu Haiquan, Hai Long, Guan Hua, and Guan Lei each said hello and waved. Wu Haiquan stepped on the accelerator and drove the car forward, while Xu Chunlin, Liu Lizhen, Han Fengjiao and others stared at the door for a long time, waiting until they could no longer see the rear of the car. Turn around and enter the house.

"You guys come in the house, the three of us have gone to work."

"Okay, you go to class and tell Lao Guo to take care of Lei Zi." Liu Lizhen said.

Xu Chunlin waved his hand impatiently: "What do you tell him about this? Since Er Ning is going with him, he will take care of it. Don't worry about it, just go into the house quickly."

Liu Lizhen narrowed her eyes when she heard this, which made Xu Chunlin feel scared.

"Then you asked me for five dollars?"

Xu Chunlin was a little confused, "What are you doing?"

Liu Lizhen sneered: "Why is there five dollars in the insole of your left shoe?"

At this time, Han Fengjiao, Yang Shuhua, Wang Erli and others all had their eyes wandering and grinned.

Xu Chunlin looked at everyone in silence. He suddenly remembered the reason why Liu Lizhen was so angry this morning. Forgive him that it was his own fault.

So what's going on with these five dollars? Xu Laowen lowered his head and frowned and thought about it.

It seemed like three months ago, when Xu Ning had run out of money and ran home and asked him for money. Xu Laowen said anxiously that he didn't have any money, but Xu Ning didn't believe it at all and insisted on going through his pockets.

However, Xu Laowen wanted to go to the latrine at that time, so he said he would wait until he was done with the latrine. After he went to the latrine, he stuffed five yuan into his socks, but Xu Laowen thought about it and felt that it was not possible, and then gave him five yuan. The dollar was stuffed under the insole of his left shoe.

As expected, Xu Ning picked at his socks and ran to look for Xu Long before turning them over. Xu Laowen also forgot about hiding money under the shoe mats because Liu Lizhen asked him to add fire to the stove.

Logically speaking, Xu Laowen could not forget such a big thing. However, Xu Laowen could be said to be a rich man at that time. He had five yuan in his pocket, and the small treasury still had nearly five hundred yuan including Xu Long's share, so I didn't pay much attention to the five yuan.

Until this morning, Liu Lizhen saw that Xu Laowen's insoles were too worn out, so she kindly thought of getting him a new pair of insoles, but she didn't want to dig out five yuan for them.

Liu Lizhen thought to herself: Maybe that little kid deliberately stuffed it under the insole of his father's shoe, or Xu Laowen hid it himself. Anyway, neither of them had any good stuff.

That's why Liu Lizhen didn't give Xu Ning a good look in the morning.

Xu Chunlin looked at her and his eyes flashed. He hurriedly stepped forward and took Liu Lizhen's arm. He said with a smile: "Zhen, I don't know why you should pay five yuan for something to play. It's the conscience of heaven and earth that it was the little brat who harmed me." I really don’t know what’s going on!”

"Haha, let's wait until you get home. You go to work first."

Liu Lizhen waved her hand, then raised her head and led Han Fengjiao and others into the courtyard.

Xu Laowen stood there and tilted his head to look at Xu Long and asked, "Do you know what's going on?"

"I don't know where to go. Didn't you hide it?"

"...Don't make false accusations against me. You haven't learned any humanity from that little brat in recent days. Erli, give me a cigarette."

Wang Erli took out the cigarette pouch from his pocket and said, "Roll one up and smoke it yourself."

Xu Chunlin said disgustedly: "Look at how stupid you are, you can't even catch up with me!"

Wang Erli bared his teeth and said with a smile: "Yes, who can compare with you? Your whole body is cleaner than your face. Fortunately, I still have two yuan in pocket money."

"Hey, where's the money you hid? Lend me some, and I'll pay you back when you have time to sell it to that bear bile."

Upon hearing this, Wang Erli hurriedly stepped forward and ignored Xu Laowen's pleading. When Xu Laowen saw that he was not paying attention to him, he glanced at Xu Long. Unexpectedly, the little guy also walked forward without giving him a chance to talk.

"There's no human touch at all!" Xu Laowen muttered with a dark face.
