Return to 1983 Hunting Xing'an Mountains

Chapter 397: I'm afraid of being beaten

It was noon, in the east room.

Sun Liansheng stood up and carried the folding round table leaning against the door to the open space, flattened it and propped it up. Sun Lianfang struggled to get a few iron stools from the west room. The iron stools were round and welded with iron wires as thick as several cigarettes, with round wooden boards on top.

The stools can be stacked together and placed in a corner without taking up much space, but the disadvantage is that they are too heavy.

Yang Yanqiu and Jin Xiaoxia brought dishes to the table one after another. The dishes of Old Sun’s family were quite rich.

Lamb liver dipped in garlic sauce, pork head mixed with prickly ash sprouts, braised beef on a plate, and a platter of braised lamb and pig trotters.

The hot dishes include stewed pork ribs with beans, braised abalone, stewed rooster with hazel mushrooms, and stir-fried pork, a total of eight dishes, which are enough to prove Sun Jishan's enthusiasm.

It is no exaggeration to say that the lives of the rich people in this city are one level higher than those of the wealthy families in the countryside. Just from the cold dishes, it can be seen that ordinary families cannot afford them. Even smelling the taste seems a bit extravagant...

Now you need tickets to buy cooked meat, but it was very easy for Sun Jishan to get some grain tickets and meat tickets. He didn't even have to say anything, people handed them to him.

At this moment, everyone in the room had put out their cigarettes and stood up and moved towards the table.

Sun Jishan suggested: "Brother, let's drink less. We don't have anything to do in the afternoon anyway."

Yang Yusheng didn't care. He had never been drunk before. Even if he drank three kilograms of alcohol, no one around him could tell at work.

He smiled and said, "Okay, then let's drink less."

Sun Jishan was very happy to hear this, because since Yang Yusheng was transferred to the city, he seldom attended drinking parties and seemed to be a loner, not fond of joining groups. However, Sun Jishan and Yang Yusheng had drunk twice, and Yang Yusheng only drank less than a pound of wine, and said he couldn't handle it and put down the glass.

Yang Yusheng was the second in command. After he said he didn't want to drink anymore, no one dared to persuade him anymore. They just told him to eat more vegetables.

Sun Jishan could see that Yang Yusheng had a good alcohol tolerance. Although he drank less than a pound, his face did not turn red, his steps were steady, and he spoke clearly and logically, without being dazed at all.

He had made a private appointment with Yang Yusheng once before, but Yang Yusheng refused because he had to go to the forest farm. In Sun Jishan's mind, Yang Yusheng was an extremely difficult person to approach, and he was obviously from a different world from these old foxes in the city.

"Sheng! Go to the west room and get the wine. Take the boxes from the cabinet."

Upon hearing this, Sun Liansheng turned around and went to the west room. When he came back, he was holding a box of Wuliangye, which he placed on the edge of the kang. He took out four bottles and placed them on the table.

Seeing this, Yang Yusheng smiled and said, "Brother, are you going to get drunk today? Although we have nothing to do in the afternoon, we can't drink too much."

"Don't drink too much, let's stop when we're done, brother... To be honest, I know you can drink a lot, and today I just want to test your ability."

Xu Long, Xu Ning and others who were sitting nearby looked at each other in surprise, then smiled.

Sun Jishan thought they were just having fun and didn't think about anything else. He unscrewed a bottle of wine and said, "Dalong, it's okay if you drink less. You can go back to work when you sober up. Erning?"

Xu Ning said, "Uncle, I don't drink alcohol. How about letting Lei Zi drink with you?"

Sun Jishan turned to look at Guan Lei and nodded: "Okay! How much can Leizi drink?"

Guan Lei stretched out his hand and hid his middle finger. Sun Liansheng was stunned and asked, "Leizi, what does this mean?"

Guan Lei laughed and said, "Drink endlessly!"

Sun Jishan was stunned when he heard this, then he raised his head and laughed: "Hahaha, good! Drink endlessly, good! What about Huzi?"

Wang Hu extended his index finger and said with a smile, "Uncle, I have been drinking all the time."

"Hahaha... intimidating the enemy with your aura before the battle, not bad! There's a future! Brother, since Lei Zi and Hu Zi can drink so much, why don't we drink from the bottle?"

Drinking from a bottle does not mean blowing the bottle, but each person holds a bottle and cannot miss a sip of wine.

"I can do anything, brother, but you have to take it easy. They are both young men, and I have one foot in the ground."

"Brother, don't worry. I'm a seasoned drinker. How can I be outdone by two youngsters? But brother, I never knew what your drinking capacity was."

Yang Yusheng said: "I have a huge capacity for drinking. If you don't believe me, how about we compare ourselves?"

"Haha, this is a really good game. Let's have a try."

Yang Yanqiu brought two plates into the room and said with a smile, "Add two more side dishes."

A plate of salt-fried peanuts and a plate of smashed cucumbers made up the ten dishes.

Yang Yusheng said, "Sister-in-law, stop working and sit down to eat."

"Eh."

Yang Yanqiu went to the outer room to wash her hands, then took Jin Xiaoxia to sit next to Sun Liansheng, while Sun Lianfang sat next to Guan Lei, and on the left were Xu Ning and Wang Hu...

After everyone's glasses were filled, Sun Jishan raised his glass and said, "Brother, you are giving me enough face by coming here today. I am very happy from the bottom of my heart..."

Yang Yusheng said with a smile: "If you are happy, don't talk about anything. Just drink the wine in the glass in one gulp. All the words are in the wine."

"Okay! Brother, you're a quick talker, so let's drink a cup first and taste the saltiness."

Yang Yusheng waved his hand and said, "Don't let the children drink it. Leave some room for them to eat. Otherwise, my sister-in-law will have prepared all these delicious dishes for nothing."

"Okay! Then we can drink alone."

Sun Jishan turned around and clinked glasses with Yang Yusheng, and then they both drank a glass of two taels of wine.

In fact, Yang Yusheng had not originally thought of coming here, but Sun Jishan came to him and he had to make a choice.

Besides, Xu Ning wanted to contract the Lengchang field, which was a hurdle that Sun Jishan could not overcome. As he said, he had to sign first and then give it to Yang Yusheng for review. If Sun Jishan did not sign, where would Yang Yusheng go to review it?

This incident was the primary reason why Yang Yusheng came here, and the other reason was the matter of Guan Lei and Sun Lianfang.

At first, Yang Yusheng didn't know that the two had established a relationship last night, but when he saw Guan Lei carrying the six small items, he understood. His initial thought was to help if he could, and after giving a guarantee, Sun Jishan really gave him face, but the matter has not been finalized yet.

Sun Jishan also said that he was the boss and couldn't make the decision for Sun Lianfang's parents. The specific details of the matter still needed the approval of Sun Lianfang's parents...

If Yang Yusheng hadn't come today, if Xu Ning had come with Guan Lei alone, they might not even be able to enter Sun Jishan's house. Even if they were not turned away, Sun Jishan would not have given them a good look. Who is Sun Lianfang? She is the eldest princess of the old Sun family! She is really afraid of dying if she is held in the palm of her hand, and afraid of melting if she is held in her mouth.

There was no other reason why Yang Yusheng helped Guan Lei to vouch for him, it was just because Xu Ning and the others called him Third Uncle, he was the elder of these kids, Guan Lei had no father or mother since childhood, if he didn't help now, when would he help?
After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.

Sun Jishan hung his head, obviously a little drunk. He grabbed Yang Yusheng's arm in a daze and said incoherently: "Brother! We have to be conscientious in doing things, but saints still have relatives and friends. If there is any good thing, don't we have to go to relatives and friends first?

Yes, I have neglected to take care of Qing'an over the years... I was wrong! Brother, this was not right, I admit my mistake!"

At the table, Yang Yanqiu, Jin Xiaoxia and Sun Lianfang had already left and went to the west room to chat.

Yang Yusheng tilted his head and squinted at him, then said with a smile: "The past is over, why bring it up again?"

"Ah, I'm just feeling uncomfortable. Now that Sandaohe is rich, people's hearts are unpredictable...Brother, from now on, I'll go wherever you point me to! I won't say no!" Sun Jishan was also very cunning. He invited Yang Yusheng to his home today on the pretext of this matter. This was his real purpose. As for his niece and Guan Lei? He didn't care about Guan Lei at all. He just wanted to see if his niece was safe...

Yang Yusheng looked up at Guan Lei, who was smoking, and said, "Brother, what impression do you think Lei Zi makes?"

Guan Lei raised his head upon hearing this and stared at Sun Jishan with sharp eyes.

Xu Ning smiled at Xu Long, his uncle really helped a lot.

Sun Jishan was indeed stunned when he heard this. He looked up at Guan Lei and said with a smile: "Brother, to be honest, Lei is not bad..."

Xu Ning cursed in his heart: This old fox! He is indeed a seasoned expert, playing with all kinds of tricks.

Yang Yusheng pressed on: "What's good about it? Do you agree with what he and Lianfang are doing?"

"...quite stable and honest, brother. I have no say in their affairs. Even if I agree, there is still a hurdle with her parents."

At this time, Sun Lianfang ran over from the west room, walked around behind Sun Jishan, put her arms around his neck, and said, "Master, then you agree, right? Isn't that right, Master?"

Sun Jishan's head was buzzing from the torture his niece caused him. Just as he was about to change the subject, he was pulled back by Sun Lianfang.

"My promise doesn't count. It only counts if your parents agree. Your mom already has a problem with me. How can I dare to make the decision on such a big matter?"

Sun Lianfang said excitedly: "Uncle, as long as you agree, my dad will definitely listen! Hurry up and agree, hurry up and agree!"

"Hey... this girl can't be kept when she grows up, Lianfang! I promise you first..."

Sun Jishan spoke slowly after drinking. What he wanted to say was, "Uncle promises you first, I'll talk to your parents about it when I get back." However, he was interrupted by his eldest niece before he could finish his words.

Sun Lianfang said excitedly: "Thank you, uncle! You are so kind!"

Yang Yusheng turned his head and said, "Leizi, didn't you hear that your uncle agreed to your relationship with Lianfang? Hurry up and pour some wine to toast your uncle."

"Hey! Okay, okay!"

Guan Lei was a little confused. It wasn't because he drank too much, but because he didn't understand at all. How could he agree? What was going on...

However, when he heard what Yang Yusheng said, he quickly stood up and took the bottle to fill Sun Jishan's glass with wine. Then, holding the half bottle of wine, which was about 4 taels, he said, "Uncle, thank you!"

After saying that, Guan Lei raised his head and swallowed half the bottle of wine. Sun Jishan narrowed his eyes and stared at him, thinking that since he had been brought here, it would be bad to hesitate any longer. Finally, after thinking it over, he drank the wine in the glass.

After drinking, Sun Jishan felt that he should say something from his heart, even if Yang Yusheng was present.

"Leizi, let me tell you, you and Lianfang... you are not the fastest to act, but you have the most unique personality. This silly girl of mine likes people with unique personalities. I know her..."

Sun Jishan patted Guan Lei's shoulder. Guan Lei was not completely drunk at the moment, but just a little confused. Sun Lianfang helped him sit next to Sun Jishan and continued, "It is precisely because I understand her that I know what kind of person you are. To be honest, I don't like people like you, because you only have friends and career in your eyes. I knew it the first time I saw you..."

Guan Lei did not refute because what Sun Jishan said was true.

"Hey, uncle, why are you saying these things?" Sun Lianfang pouted and said unhappily.

Sun Jishan said with a smile: "Okay, since you two have already confirmed your relationship, just date for now. I'll talk to her parents. When you have time, you have to go to Sandaohe to meet her parents. We can talk about the future then."

"Eh!"

Xu Ning, who was listening nearby, sighed and said to himself: This guy is indeed an old fox. He is very good at identifying people and smelling their wits.

Yang Yusheng said with a smile: "Brother, this kid has good character. If he treats Lianfang badly in the future, let Liansheng bring his brothers to block the door of his house and beat him up. Anyway, you have a lot of family members..."

"Hahaha, brother, you're the only one who's here today, otherwise I can't open my heart to you. Her aunt and I have been raised as daughters since we were young, and it makes me feel uncomfortable that you suddenly found a partner."

"Why are you feeling uncomfortable? Come, I'll walk with you again."

Sun Jishan waved his hands hurriedly: "Brother, I really admire you. You drank more than a pound of wine and nothing happened..."

"Hahaha, I really have a huge capacity for drinking. Why don't you believe it?"

"I believe it now! Let's drink slowly from now on."

"..."

The drinking session lasted until 1:. After Yang Yanqiu and others cleared the table, Sun Jishan, Yang Yusheng and others sat on the sofa and drank tea. Guan Lei was forced by Sun Liansheng to sleep on the kang in the west room. He drank nearly four taels of wine in one gulp, which was quite strong.

Sun Jishan stared at Xu Ning with his eyes half closed, holding a cigarette in his mouth, and said, "Erning, I'll take care of the contract for the field! Just go back and wait for the news. If you need anything, just give me a call."

"Hey, thank you, sir."

"What are you being polite about? Is it for nothing to call me uncle? Brother, don't you agree?"

Yang Yusheng said with a smile: "Yes, there is a gift for changing your words, so this will be considered a gift for meeting you."

"Brother, speaking of gifts... my Xiaoxia is going to give birth soon, and I want to hold a full-moon banquet. You must come then."

Yang Yusheng nodded: "Of course I have to come over, where should I go?"

Sun Jishan said, "Let's go back to the village and do it. After that, we'll go around the Sandaohe Forest Farm. Dalong and Erning... call your friends over. Let's have some fun together."

"to make!"

Sun Liansheng turned around and reminded: "Dad, maybe Erning got married first..."

"Erning is getting married? Then I have to think about it." Sun Jishan said with his head down.

"What's the matter? Brother, why aren't you attending my nephew's wedding?" Yang Yusheng said with narrowed eyes.

"Oh, no way, I'm afraid I'll get beaten!"

“Hahahaha…” Everyone in the room burst into laughter.

The people in Qing'an Forest District did hate the people in Sandaohe, especially Sun Jishan. No one who worked in the forest farm would say anything good about him. They all cursed Sun Jishan behind his back as a jerk and wished they could flatten his ancestral graves.

However, one should speak one's mind at the right time. Since Yang Yusheng was transferred to the city, Sun Jishan changed his usual behavior and successively supported Yang Yusheng's actions on Qing'an Forest Farm, and approved various new equipment for Qing'an.

After the Qing'an Forest Farm learned about it, although they didn't complain, they felt a little uncomfortable in their hearts.

What's going on? Is it because you, Sandaohe, have become wealthy that you only think of us, Qing'an? Who are you pitying?
It was not until after three o'clock that Guan Lei sobered up, rubbed his face, went into the house and handed a cigarette to Yang Yusheng and Sun Jishan.

After finishing his cigarette, Yang Yusheng stood up and said, "Brother, that's enough for today. I'll take them out for a walk."

Sun Lianfang was delighted when she heard this, and she hugged Sun Jishan's arm and said, "Uncle, can you let me go too? I haven't been to the city for a long time."
