Return to 1983 Hunting Xing'an Mountains

Chapter 48: Hiding money gives me clues. I will sue my mother for you.

When he got home, Xu Ning didn't go anywhere. Seeing that there was not enough firewood to burn, he, Wang Hu and Li Fuqiang spent the whole afternoon chopping firewood.

Then he tidied up the yard at home. Although the yard was not messy before, Xu Ning didn't think about raising a dog in the future, so he cleared out the open space near the penthouse and found a few wooden boards to nail it. Several kennels.

Xu Ning likes to start things in advance so as not to have to work too hard later.

Liu Lizhen looked at her son's change and felt quite comfortable and gratified.

She never dreamed that Xu Ning could help the family, so she steamed a pot of chicken cake for Xu Ning in the evening.

Eggs are very expensive these days. Liu Lizhen bought 6 stupid eggs for 5 cents at a small store. The average price for each stupid egg is 1 cents.

Moreover, eggs are now hard currency. They can be exchanged for food and used as money.

I wanted to keep Li Fuqiang and Wang Hu at home for dinner, but I didn't expect that they would run away before dinner time. Liu Lizhen leaned on the wall and said hello twice, and Wang Hu walked out with Poon Choi dumplings.

"Auntie, my mother made vegetable dumplings."

Liu Lizhen said: "Did your mother make it herself this afternoon? Why didn't you call me?"

"My mother said that you are enjoying a happy life. She said that my second brother finally did some work for the family. You are not allowed to lean on the window and look at it?"

"Hahaha, my sister still understands me."

Liu Lizhen took the vegetable dumpling basin, and then Wang Hu ran back into the house without waiting for her to continue talking.

"This child."

In the early 80s, every family was in trouble. If Wang Erli and Xu Chunlin hadn't gone to the mountains to hunt livestock when they had nothing to do, life would have been much more difficult than it is now.

Xu Ning saw that the vegetable dumplings were hot, so she grabbed them and tasted them.

This vegetable dumpling is not filled with the usual white cabbage or dumplings, but with wild wild vegetables.

There are four kinds of wild vegetables in the stuffing: potherb mustard, cat's claw, thorn sprouts, and old mountain celery. Since the stuffing is made with bear oil, the little flavor comes out immediately. It is very fragrant and delicious!

Before autumn, they go up to the mountains to pick wild vegetables. When they come back, they wash, blanch and dry them, or store them in vegetable cellars. Some of them also have pickles, which can be eaten throughout the winter.

Xu Feng ran into the house and saw her second brother eating vegetable dumplings and reaching out to grab a handful, but Liu Lizhen slapped her hand and paw.

"Wash your hands! I've been burying them all day long. The paws of my hands are full of black mud, so I don't know how to bury them cleanly."

Xu Feng pouted, "Then why don't you talk about my second brother?"

"Your second brother just finished his work and washed his hands. I said he was ghastly?"

"Zhen Zheng Zhen, my second brother is good at everything, cut it."

"Are you no longer as old as me?"

Xu Feng changed her face, leaned over and said with a smile: "Oh my god, please wash my hands. You washed them for me when I was a child."

"Come on, don't be such a bitch, wash your hands quickly."

Xu Feng turned to look at Xu Ning, curled her lips and scooped up the water in the vat.

Xu Ning reminded with a smile, "Feng'er, there is hot water in the thermos. Please add some."

"Well, my second brother is better."

More than five o'clock.

Xu Chunlin and Xu Long also came back. At this time, the food was ready, and Xu Ning helped set the table and get the dishes.

The two of them rubbed their faces and sat on the kang waiting to eat.

No, they are the breadwinners of the family. They work hard during the day, and they should enjoy themselves after work.

Xu Chunlin looked at the new look of the courtyard and felt puzzled.

When the family was sitting on the kang eating, he couldn't help but ask.

Liu Lizhen happily talked about Xu Ning's performance. She couldn't close her mouth when she spoke, and her face was full of smiles.

Xu Long bowed his head and said: "Er Ning, didn't you cause some trouble by staying out?"

"What are you talking about! What trouble can he get into if he stays home all day?"

Speaking of this, Liu Lizhen thought of his visit to Lao Chang's house, and said with a guilty conscience: "It shouldn't cause trouble."

"Why are you in trouble? I haven't done any work for the family in so many years. I'm going to do more work today when I have nothing to do. Why are you all looking at me like this? Don't you believe me?"

Xu Long said: "That's not true, I'm just a little confused."

Xu Feng said: "My second brother has changed his ways! My teacher said that a prodigal son can never be replaced with gold, and my second brother is worth more than gold!"

"Hahaha, that's necessary. Mom is happy to hear Feng'er's words." Liu Lizhen swallowed the vegetable dumplings in her mouth and laughed twice.

Xu Chunlin looked up at Xu Ning with complicated eyes.

Ever since that day when Zhaoshan showed off his power and saved him, this guy seemed to be a different person.

It made him worried. There used to be a weakling in the family. If Xu Chunlin felt uncomfortable, he would pick up the broom and find a way to vent his anger. Now that Xu Ning is performing so well, how can he have the chance to make a move?

After the meal, Xu Feng volunteered to pick up the dishes, while Liu Lizhen was busy washing the dishes in the outer room. The remaining dishwater was hot with oil, so she conveniently fed it to the dog.

In the room, Xu Ning came close to Xu Chunlin, and his father was so frightened that he ran towards the edge of the kang.

"You want Gaha?"

Xu Ning smiled evilly, "Dad, I'm going to Xu Pao's house tomorrow. Didn't I scold him when I was a kid? After that, I'm thinking about buying something to take with me to make amends."

"Then just go and tell me Gaha?"

Xu Ning rubbed his fingers and said, "Isn't it a shortcoming?"

"I don't have one. You can find whoever you want."

"Okay, I'll go look for the third brick on the eaves of the hut..."

After all, he turned around and was about to leave.

But Xu Chunlin was stunned when he heard this and grabbed his arm directly.

His eyes were red and his face was pale, and he said anxiously: "Wait a moment! Xu Long close the door, hurry up!"

Xu Long immediately stood up and closed the door. Xu Chunlin glared and said angrily: "How the hell do you know this?"

"Ah? What do you know? I don't know anything. I'm just short of two hundred yuan, have no money in my pocket, and my back is not straight. Dad, don't you think so?"

Xu Chunlin gritted his teeth and said, "I can give you fifty."

"Then I told my mother that I picked up 405 yuan."

Hearing this number, Xu Chunlin and Xu Long became anxious.

They didn't expect that Xu Ning not only knew where they hid the money, but also counted it!
  The father and son looked at each other, with hatred in Xu Chunlin's eyes, "I can give you a hundred at most!"

"If we meet, we'll split half of it. If we don't, we'll sue my mother."

Xu Chunlin gritted his teeth and pointed at him, "You are really a loser! Here, two hundred, right?"

"alright."

When Xu Long heard this number, his heart was bleeding, and he raised his foot to kick him.

But Xu Ning turned around and said, "When my sister-in-law comes back, I will tell her..."

Xu Long suddenly pulled back his feet and forced a smile on his face, "I'm just joking with you."

After Xu Ning achieved his goal, he turned around and went to the outhouse, while Xu Chunlin sat on the edge of the kang and hammered the edge twice.

"What a loser! How did he find out?"

It took the father and son two years to save these more than 400 yuan.

Xu Ning immediately picked out their eyes and took half of them away!
  "Dad, I just said you can't keep it in the same place. Rabbit still has three kilns."

Xu Chunlin rubbed his old face, his eyes were red, not to mention how much pain he felt in his heart.

"Why are you talking about that? Let's give him half of the two hundred as a family."

When Xu Long heard this, he immediately became unhappy.

"Why? You hid the money. Besides, you have more than 240, and I only have 160. According to the ratio, you are the one who pays the majority. If I pay 50, it would be unkind."

"Just because I'm your father! Just go ahead and sell the bear bile on the street in two days. Then I'll give you some more. Isn't that the end of it?"

"A size is a size."

Xu Chunlin stared at him, "Am I your father? I mean whatever I say, and I can't control you anymore."

"Then I will surrender to my mother."

Xu Chunlin was stunned and said, "Fuck! You two brothers are both on the same page, get the hell out of here."

"Isn't this Sui Gen? Dad, I'll just pay fifty, okay?"

Xu Chunlin gritted his teeth, "Okay! Why not? You two are the fathers."

After Xu Long went to the West Room, Xu Chunlin sat on the edge of the kang and felt indignant.

How often had Xu Long resisted him?

It was all this Xu Laoer who was the one who ruined it.

When he finds an opportunity, he must be beaten with a big stick.

Just cut it off at 220 yuan, otherwise you will be sorry for his sincerity in hiding money.

After Xu Chunlin gave 200 yuan to Xu Ning, he couldn't sleep that night, tossing and turning. Liu Lizhen scolded him for this, but he didn't dare to say that he was wronged.
