Return to 1983 Hunting Xing'an Mountains

Chapter 543: Send my sister-in-law to the provincial capital to sell clubs
When I got home, it was already past eight o'clock.

Xu Ning first went down to the cellar and took out four baskets of bangchui, from which he selected a few seedlings of two generations, preparing to keep a few and then go to the city to do favors. For example, the Lao Chai family, the Lao Sun family, and Yang Yusheng's family must keep two seedlings for making wine, and his own family must also keep two seedlings. In total, he took out sixteen seedlings of two generations, and took the rest of the bangchui to the provincial capital to sell.

Liu Lizhen felt that she didn't need to keep it at home. Chai Bing brought a lot of ginseng wine. What's the use of this thing? In fact, it's not true. Garden ginseng and wild ginseng are different, and the taste of the wine they make is also different, but there is one thing in common, the taste is a bit bitter and unbearable when chewed.

Li Fuqiang, Wang Hu and Guan Lei counted the animal skins and bear gallbladders in the lower house and packed them up neatly before Li Fuqiang and Yang Shuhua's family of four left.

Tonight, Wang Shujuan, Xu Feng and Guan Hua lived in the west room, while Xu Ning, Wang Hu and Guan Lei slept in the east wing. They were guarding the mallet, animal skins and bear gallbladder. These things were all worth money, and they would feel uneasy if they didn't sleep next to them.

The two 56-and-a-half and three old-style pistols had been polished, but there were only four gentlemen on this trip, so one old-style pistol was left at home for Liu Daming to use.

Xu Ning specifically asked his mother how much money was left at home. At first, Liu Lizhen was reluctant to answer, but finally she told the truth after being pestered by him. After the house was built, there was only more than 500 yuan left.

Although Xu Laonian, Xu Long and Xu Ning have all received salaries in these months, it should be noted that Xu Ning has only received two months' salary, which is 38 yuan per month. The total salary of the three of them, father and son, is less than 150 yuan, barely more than 130 yuan.

Liu Lizhen had saved less than three thousand yuan before. The money Xu Ning earned from Wangxing, snail shells, and the people near his home, as well as from selling jackals, leopard bones, and two black bears, the reward for bravery, and the money from selling specimens of the giant boar king, plus Xu Ning's own earnings, all added up to about three thousand four hundred yuan.

The total amount is more than 6,000 yuan, and building the house cost more than 5,000 yuan. After adding miscellaneous expenses, it is normal to have more than 500 yuan left...

Now the money for contracting the Lengchang, the money for the partnership with Hu Zhibin in the Lengchang, and the money for the partnership with Zhang Jinbao in the furniture workshop have not been paid. This requires nearly 10,000 yuan, but all the difficulties can be solved naturally by selling the mallets, bear gall and leather.

August 1984, 8, the fourth day of the eighth month in the lunar calendar.

At four o'clock in the morning, Xu Ning, Wang Hu and Guan Lei, who were sleeping in the east wing, got up and took turns going to the toilet. They moved things like mallets, leather and bear gall into the car.

Xu Ning went to Old Wang's outhouse to take care of some important matters. When he came back over the wall, he ran into Wang Shujuan and Guan Hua. The two were dressed neatly, looked at each other, and went into the house to pick up the luggage bags. Guan Lei and Wang Hu took them, and they walked towards the gate of the courtyard in silence.

Although the dogs were impatient, they were silenced by Xu Ning's glare and pointing. The blue wolf shrank back into its den feeling aggrieved. Xu Ning saw this and sighed, thinking that these dogs had not left their den for more than half a month. If they continued like this, they would be useless. When he came back, they must go for a walk in the mountains regularly, otherwise what would they do when they went to Wangxing to protect the farmers?

Thinking of this, Xu Ning started to worry again. The mission was supposed to be in mid-September, but he had to get married, and then he would be with Guan Lei and Wang Hu. In addition, Sun Liansheng had to go to Sandaohe for his baby's full moon. With all this going on, he had no time to go to Wangxing. He forgot to call Chai Bing yesterday, and he must discuss with him what to do when he has time.

When he reached the door, Xu Ning saw four figures coming from the west. They were Li Fuqiang, Meng Ziyan and Jin Yumantang. Then he remembered, where is his sister?

"Xu Feng!" Xu Ning frowned and turned back angrily, then saw Xu Feng hiding behind the main door, shrinking back again and again.

He raised his hand and pointed, saying, "If you don't want to go, forget it. I won't care about you anymore."

Xu Feng had a bitter face and walked out quite reluctantly, carrying half a bag of snacks. The snacks were bought by Han Fengjiao yesterday. It took a lot of persuasion to finally make Xu Feng understand, but this girl had a strong will. If Xu Ning hadn't been a little forceful, she would definitely run away.

Xu Ning pulled Xu Fengyi's collar and said, "Hurry up and get in the car! If you keep dawdling, don't force me to kick you."

"Just go, why are you so fierce..."

He pushed Xu Feng into the car, pointed at Jin Yu Man Tang and said, "You two get in the car too."

"Uncle, my dad and I will sit in the back." Li Mantang is very humble. His father often tells him that a good man does not fight with a woman. No matter what happens, you should give way to the women and not compete with them. Otherwise, how can we be real men?

"Okay, big brother, you take the 56-and-a-half, and let Shitou and Huzi take the old Juebazi. We won't stop on the way to the street to have breakfast."

Li Fuqiang took the 56 and a half and said, "OK..."

Wang Shujuan and Meng Ziyan whispered a few words, and Meng Ziyan said, "My sister-in-law and I will sit in the back, and Huaer will sit in the front."

Guan Hua shook her head: "No, there is a mattress at the back, it's not cold at this time..."

Xu Ning waved his hand and said, "Feng'er and Jinyu are about the same size as you, so you three should just sit in the front. Hurry up and get in the car."

Hearing this, Guan Hua did not insist anymore. She grabbed the door handle and stepped on the pedal to get into the car. Xu Ning turned around and waved to Li Fuqiang, then got into the driver's seat, started the car and drove towards the street.

It was daybreak at this time and there were no other vehicles on the road. The car was driving quite fast and arrived at the street in more than an hour and a half. They parked the car at the side of the road at the crossroads. Xu Ning and others got off the car and walked to the breakfast stall, where they sat at two tables and ordered some buns, fried dough sticks, deep-fried cakes and tofu pudding.

However, Li Fuqiang did not come over. He sat in the back of the car holding the 56 and a half and waited until Xu Ning and others finished eating. He brought him four buns and a lunch box of tofu pudding. After Xu Ning drove away, he sat in the back of the car and finished eating.

Before eight o'clock, the car had entered the city and arrived at the forestry family building. It was the time when the employees were pushing their bicycles to work.

Xu Long was standing at the gate of the family building waiting. When he saw the car approaching, he squinted and saw Xu Ning. He then waved to him to park the car to the side of the road where it would not be in the way.

"Brother! I've brought my sister-in-law to you, hahaha..."

This roar came from Xu Feng, who was unwilling to come to the city to study. She talked a lot with Xu Ning in the car. Although she felt wronged, she had to obey her second brother's arrangement, so she thought it through. Since she couldn't struggle, she would just endure it silently and face life with a smile.

"Oh my god, please keep your voice down. If you shout like that, everyone in the building will have to lean out of the window to look at you."

Xu Ning, Guan Hua, Li Jinyu and Xu Feng got off the car one after another, and Wang Shujuan and Meng Ziyan also jumped out of the back car.

"Uncle San went to work?"

"No, I'm waiting for you to come over for dinner."

Xu Feng grinned and said happily: "Hey, big brother, we have all finished eating. The big buns we ate at the breakfast stall on the street..."

"What are you guys doing now? Oh, I was just wondering..."

Xu Ning said, "My sister-in-law is afraid of motion sickness, so she ate a bun. Let her go into the house and eat some more later. Let's go to the back to get the luggage first."

Xu Long nodded, and followed him to the rear of the car. Seeing Li Fuqiang holding a 56-and-a-half in his arms, he leaned back unconsciously and said with a smile, "Oh, you scared me. What are you doing sitting here, Brother Qiang? Come in and wait a moment."

Li Fuqiang grinned and said, "I won't go into the house. This car cannot be left without someone. Let my brother go into the house and talk to Uncle San about what's going on."

Xu Long didn't know that Xu Ning and the others had gone into the mountains to carry the club. He tilted his head and asked, "What's going on?"

"Brother, let Hu Zi and Shi Tou stay in the car, and you go into the house and chat with Uncle San."

Li Fuqiang thought about it and nodded, "Okay."

Then he handed the 56 to Wang Hu, stood up, grabbed two pieces of luggage and walked to the back of the car. Xu Long and Li Mantang took him over before he jumped out of the car.

Seeing that Xu Ning didn't answer, Xu Long grabbed his shoulder and asked, "What do you mean?"

Xu Ning glanced at him and whispered, "Go to the provincial capital to sell bear gall and clubs..."

"Great……"

Xu Long was about to shout, but Wang Shujuan covered his mouth with a slap and said in a low voice: "Erning just doesn't want you to make noise! ​​What are you shouting for?"

"Ah..."

Immediately, Xu Ning, Xu Long, Wang Shujuan, Li Fuqiang and others walked towards the family building. The building where Yang Yusheng lived before was the one at the back, not next to the street. After walking around a building, they saw Yang Yusheng standing at the door of the building smoking. When he saw them coming, Yang Yusheng smiled and waved.

"Third Uncle!" "Third Grandfather!"

"Hey, come in quickly. What time did you leave home? I thought you would arrive around nine o'clock."

Xu Ning said: "I came here at around four o'clock and stopped on the street to eat a meal."

Yang Yusheng turned around and said, "Have you all finished eating? No, why would you eat outside when you are at home?"

"Aren't you hungry? Besides, you and my brother don't know how to cook, so we can just buy food outside."

Yang Yusheng glared and said, "Now that my niece-in-law is here, I won't eat outside."

"Hahaha……"

After everyone entered the house, they saw the furnishings inside. There was a chair more than two meters long in the living room, and in front of it were a coffee table, a TV cabinet, and a TV. To the north was the kitchen. The house was more than 80 square meters, with a standard layout of two bedrooms, two living rooms and one bathroom. There were iron pipes and cast iron radiators along the walls. The walls were white on the top and blue on the bottom, and the floor was made of smoothed concrete.

"Come in. Dalong went to the breakfast shop this morning to buy you some fried dough sticks and soy milk. He's waiting for you to come and eat them together. They're a little soft now."

Xu Long said, "Uncle San, give them some food for the journey later."

Yang Yusheng nodded and asked, "What are you going to do in the provincial capital?"

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

"Selling bear gall and mallets..."

"Bangchui? Ginseng. Did you go into the mountains to dig ginseng? How much did you dig?"

"I dug four baskets."

Xu Long exclaimed: "What the hell? Four baskets? Don't brag..."

Xu Feng pouted and said, "Brother, my second brother is not that kind of person. He really brought back four baskets."

Wang Shujuan said: "There are really four baskets, and there seem to be more than 80 seedlings in total."

Li Fuqiang took out two bark-wrapped mallets from his cloth bag and said, "Uncle San, these are two saplings of Erjiazi for you. They are perfect for making wine."

Speaking of wine, Xu Long was a little panicked. He searched through Wang Shujuan and others' hands, and was relieved when he didn't see the Double Deer Fetus Wine.

Xu Feng and Jin Yumantang were walking around the house, looking at the building, the TV and the gas stove, which were very new, with smiles on their little faces.

Yang Yusheng took it and untied the red string, and saw the fresh mallet inside. He said, "Why don't you keep this good thing for yourself?"

"Hey, Third Uncle, we have saved several seedlings at home. We have saved some for you and my Great Uncle Sun, Second Uncle, and Third Uncle Sun... Big Brother, where is the share for my Great Uncle Sun? Just ask Third Uncle to give it to him."

"Okay." Li Fuqiang took out two more seedlings from the cloth bag and placed them on the table.

Yang Yusheng said with a smile: "You guys are really rich. You are taking out these good things in batches? Well, I will take them."

Xu Ning looked at Xu Feng running around the room and said, "Feng'er, where is the file I put in your schoolbag?"

"Ah! It's here!" Xu Feng opened his bag and took out three files.

He handed it to Xu Long and said, "Send the file to Brother Bin first, and just follow Brother Bin's instructions."

"He has already found a school, hasn't he?"

"Yeah, it seems that there are also children of Brother Bin, Brother Yong, Brother Ye, and Brother Qian. I will introduce them to Feng'er when the time comes so that they can get acquainted with each other. Otherwise, I'm afraid that these kids in the city will bully the newbies."

Li Fuqiang rubbed Li Mantang's head and said, "If someone bullies you, you should slap him in the face. Do you understand?"

"Yes!" Li Mantang nodded heavily.

Yang Yusheng said with a smile, "Look at how you educate your children. Mantang, don't listen to your father's nonsense. We don't mess with others, and others can't mess with us. If you are really pushed to the edge, you can't beat them to death. Be careful not to hit the head and neck, and don't use knives or sticks. If you have anything to say, tell Third Grandpa, understand?"

"Know it."

Xu Ning grinned and said, "There's nothing wrong with what my Third Uncle said. If we want to have a verbal fight, let Feng'er scold them. If we want to fight with fists, the whole hall will beat them. Let's try to have a civilized and polite fight."

"Hahaha, you're even more capable of talking bullshit." Yang Yusheng was in a good mood. He had been looking forward to having Wang Shujuan come over, and also wanted to get Xu Feng and Jin Yumantang to study in the city. Why?

It's because his grandchildren are all in the provincial capital, and he has no children or grandchildren around him, only a nephew like Xu Long. Although the two of them often drink, they can't help feeling lonely after a long time. Now that he has Wang Shujuan cooking for him, and Xu Feng and Jin Yumantang are around him, he has more people around him. How can he not be happy?

"Qiangzi, I've finished the things you asked me to do. You're going to the provincial capital, so it would be great if you could drive back directly. I'll write a note and you can take it to the fourth floor of the Second Shopping Mall. There's a store called Mingtong Electric Appliances. Show the note to the boss and he'll understand."

Xu Ning turned around and asked, "What's the matter?"

Li Fuqiang smiled and said, "I bought a washing machine for you and my brother and sister-in-law to use during our wedding."

"Hey, you always do things that make me happy! Hahaha..."

Xu Long said, "I wonder if you are happy about this. You are not polite at all."

"Why are you being so polite? I'm just thinking of going to the province to buy some electrical appliances."

Wang Shujuan was stunned and said hurriedly: "Erning, don't buy anything! Your uncle said he would buy you a rice cooker, and your brother and I bought a sewing machine. Now we have bought everything..."

Originally, Liu Daming wanted Wu Qiuxia to ask Da Laba to do this, but Xu Ning had just left for two days and she didn't see Da Laba. Instead, Xu Long came back first. She complained about this to Xu Long. After Han Fengjiao heard it, she also asked him to help buy a radio. Xu Long thought that he had to buy a sewing machine anyway, so he might as well do it together.

Xu Long continued, "It's on the second floor, along with the radio that my uncle and aunt bought. When you come back, take it home."

Meng Ziyan sat on the bench in a daze and said, "Sister-in-law, my dad said to buy a radio and other things. My dad said to buy home appliances as a dowry..."

Xu Ning said with a smile: "Cigarettes, this is saving money for my uncle Meng, when you get home, it would be great if I can give you some extra money as a small treasury, then we can spend it and buy whatever we want!"

"Hahaha, you've grown so cunning!"

Yang Yusheng laughed and said, "Does your family still need a TV? I'll buy it for you."

Meng Ziyan said quickly, "Don't drop it, Third Uncle."

Xu Ning smiled and said, "Uncle San, just come over to our wedding and drink. Let Uncle Meng buy the TV, or you won't be able to smoke."

Why is it not fun? How could she stand up straight when she married into the Xu family with only a few quilts? She had to bring something big, like a TV. When others came into the house and asked, they would give a thumbs up when they heard that it was brought by the Meng family's daughter. But she certainly couldn't tell others how much money she brought. This matter only needed to be known to her family.

"Okay, then I'll go to the wedding!"
