Return to 1983 Hunting Xing'an Mountains

Chapter 566 Returning Home Xiao Liuwan's Family is Stunned

Wang Shujuan is a good sister-in-law. When Xu Ning had no money in his pocket before, she would secretly give him some. Even now that he has money, she still gives him some from time to time, and sometimes she doesn't tell Xu Ning, so when he reaches into his pocket he finds out that there is an extra 5 or 10 yuan.

Besides, Xu Ning's clothes, pants, even his underpants and socks were all washed by Wang Shujuan. She has been working hard without any complaints since she entered Old Xu's house. Sometimes when Xu Ning and Xu Long have a quarrel, Wang Shujuan speaks for Xu Ning and pinches Xu Long's thigh behind his back. Where can you find such a good sister-in-law?

Yesterday, Xu Ning called Yang Yusheng and told them that they would be back today. Wang Shujuan prepared six dishes for them at noon, all of which she prepared by herself from a little after eight in the morning until noon.

When Wang Shujuan saw Meng Ziyan wearing a gold bracelet, her face looked normal and her tone slightly happy, but she was still a little envious. This is human emotion and very normal.

Guan Lei and Wang Hu dismantled the iron stools and placed them in a circle around the round table. Then Wang Shujuan heated up the dishes and everyone took their seats.

Wang Shujuan listened with great interest as he recounted what happened on the way to the provincial capital while chewing her food, but she was also a little frightened when she heard that she encountered armed robbers. She asked Meng Ziyan and Guan Hua what they were thinking at the time, and they said that their minds were blank and they couldn't remember anything. They only remembered that Li Fuqiang asked them to keep quiet, and by the time they came to their senses, it was all over.

After talking about these things, they just finished their meal. When Wang Shujuan, Meng Ziyan and Guan Hua were clearing the table in the kitchen, Xu Ning asked, "How are Feng'er and the other two doing in school?"

"Very good. The three of them were assigned to the same class. The students in the class all came from different villages. There were also many who didn't know each other, so there was no bullying. You don't know Feng'er's personality yet. She got along well in the class on the first day. Her classmates voted for her to be the discipline committee member..."

"Oh my god, she's even in charge of discipline." Xu Ning pouted, crossed his legs and asked, "Are you used to staying here?"

"I was a little uncomfortable the first two days, but today it's okay. I have something to do in the kitchen when you come back, otherwise I'll just sit there stupidly all day."

"Watch TV."

"It's all news, I can't understand any of it, I might as well go out and visit the vegetable market."

Meng Ziyan said, "Sister-in-law, sometimes TV plays TV series. Now it seems to play "Huo Yuanjia" during the day and "Journey to the West" at night."

"Oh, I'm afraid of wasting electricity."

Xu Ning smiled and said, "Why should Third Uncle be afraid of paying the electricity bill? He has money but nowhere to spend it anyway. You can go and watch it if you want. If you are bored at home, go out for a walk."

"Well, it's only been a few days since I got here, so I'm still a little uncomfortable with it, but it will get better slowly..."

After that, Xu Ning stood up and said, "Then let's go back."

"Stay here for a night. I haven't seen Uncle San and your brother yet."

"Let's talk about it when we have time. We made so much money from selling things in the provincial capital, shouldn't we hurry home to make our parents happy?"

Wang Shujuan smiled and said, "Of course it's good. Mom and Dad will definitely be happy! Then you can go back. How much did it sell for?"

"The total is 51730 yuan. The mallet sold for a lot, while the skin and gallbladder sold for about the same amount, both 1 yuan."

"Oh my god, this is old! Okay, you guys should leave quickly, it's already past 2 o'clock."

"Yeah, Shitouhuzi went to the back of the car to get some green bean cakes for Feng'er and the others. They were all bought by my eldest brother and Yan and the others."

Wang Shujuan put down the work in her hands, wiped her hands with a rag, and followed the crowd to the doorway. She saw Wang Hu and Guan Lei taking out green bean cakes wrapped in oil paper, cream sandwich cakes, chocolates and other things from the package.

"I really bought a lot. Hey, Erning, the rice cooker your uncle bought for you and the radio your second aunt bought are all on the second floor. You and Brother Qiang are going to carry them?"

"Let's go!"

Afterwards, Guan Lei and Guan Hua delivered the things to the first floor, and Meng Ziyan followed them to the second floor.

The second floor was obviously much more spacious, and its layout was similar to that of the first floor, except that there was one more room. There were no televisions, radios or other electrical appliances in the living room, but there was a row of bookcases filled with books that Yang Yusheng read in his spare time. However, there were a few more picture books in the past two days, and one could tell at a glance that they were brought back by Xu Feng.

Yesterday, Xu Long specially brought back three sets of tables and chairs and placed them in the living room so that the three of them could have a place to do their homework.

Wang Shujuan said that the night before yesterday, Wang Biao and Liu Tianen came over for dinner. Yang Yusheng wanted to let them live at home permanently, but the two guys refused and insisted on going back to the repair shop. There were many reasons for this. For example, they had to get up early every day and get dirty from work. When they got home, they had to clean the sheets and other things, and Wang Shujuan had to wash them all day long. It would be more convenient for them to live in the repair shop. Besides, with their master Lao Jin looking after them, they could feel a sense of urgency. Otherwise, once they relaxed, they would just be wasting their time.

"Oh, Biao and Tian'en have grown up. They have only been out for a few days. Great! They have indeed made some progress. When my brother comes back, I will ask him to bring two bottles of wine to Lao Jin..."

"I gave Lao Jin a gift the day before yesterday. Are you giving him another one today?"

"Ah, then let's wait until I'm about to get married."

Afterwards, Li Fuqiang and others carried the rice cooker, sewing machine and radio downstairs and put them into the back of the car.

Wang Shujuan looked at the washing machine and said with a smile, "Did Qiangzi buy it for you?"

"Well, his sister-in-law and I can't afford a TV, so we might as well buy a washing machine. Then my aunt and my brother and sister-in-law won't have to wash clothes by hand."

"Yes, it is indeed much more convenient to have a washing machine."

The house where Yang Yusheng lived was equipped with all the necessary electrical appliances, including a washing machine. However, when she first started using it, she was a little uncomfortable with it and was afraid that she would break it.

After Wang Hu, Meng Ziyan and others got on the car one after another, Xu Ning and Wang Shujuan waved and said, "Sister-in-law, we're going back first. You should go back to the house quickly."

"Hey! Drive slower..."

Then, Xu Ning drove away slowly, and Wang Shujuan went into the house and glanced at the mung bean cakes and other things on the ground. She bent down, picked them up and placed them all on the coffee table, but she did not open them to taste them. Instead, she turned around and went to the kitchen to continue cleaning the dishes.

After 4:, when Xu Long sent Xu Feng and Jin Yu Man Tang back, he saw the things on the coffee table as soon as he entered the room. He was startled and shouted, "Oh my god, sister-in-law! Is my second brother back?"

"Well, the things on the coffee table were bought by your Second Sister-in-law, Sister-in-law Tiger, and Brother Qiang. You and Jin Yu Man Tang should eat a little, but don't eat too much. It's time to eat when Third Uncle comes back."

Xu Feng giggled foolishly: "I knew my second brother couldn't forget his little sister! Sister-in-law, can't you send some of these toys to my brother Biao and brother Tianen? We can't finish so many."

Xu Long said, "You three will come with me to deliver it tonight. Feng'er, give a little less of the food to Master Jin and give some to him to try."

"okay!"

Wang Shujuan said, "Er Ning heard that you sent cigarettes and alcohol to Master Jin the day before yesterday, and said you would send him another one before his wedding. This is a box of Fengcheng Laojiao. Why don't you just give Master Jin two bottles?"

"No need. Er Ning is right. No one sends cigarettes and alcohol every other day. We have green bean cakes and small cakes. Just decorate for Master Jin. You can take your time. Uncle San should be in a meeting. Feng'er, you three can go upstairs and do your homework after you finish your meal."

"Oh, I know! You always bother me..."

"How about letting your second brother take care of you?"

Xu Feng hurriedly shook his head: "That's not necessary! Brother, try this mung bean cake, it's really sweet."

Without waiting for Xu Long to say anything, Xu Feng ran to Wang Shujuan and raised her hand to put the mung bean cake to her mouth, saying, "My elder brother doesn't know how to appreciate kindness. If you don't want to eat it, forget it. Sister-in-law, you try it."

Wang Shujuan took two bites and said with a smile, "It's delicious! Eat it quickly and then go do your homework."

"Okay!" Xu Long shook his head helplessly and pushed the door open.

At around 6 o'clock, the setting sun hung on the top of the mountain and the sky gradually darkened.

There were quite a few people sitting in the east room of Old Xu's house. The men were smoking and chatting, while the women were sitting on the edge of the kang, looking towards the gate of the courtyard from time to time.

Xu Laonian sat with a stern face in the position where Xu Ning used to sit, with his butt touching the stool and his back against the floor cabinet. He crossed his legs and looked up from time to time. Although he had to work overtime at the forest farm all night last month, and the little bastard and the old woman had secretly sent their eldest daughter to school in the city, he was not too angry in his heart. At most, he was a little sad.

He wanted to take advantage of the situation, but when he thought of Liu Lizhen giving him a look, he was extremely nervous. After all, as a father, he knew that sending his daughter to the city to study was a good thing. What parent wouldn't want the best for their child? Unless there were two reasons, one was that the family was poor and had no money to support them, and the other was that they were not his biological children and he didn't want to spend the money.

When Xu Laonian and Liu Lizhen heard that Xu Ning and his companions had encountered armed robbers on the way, they were a little confused. When they heard that they were fine and had caught a group of robbers, Wang Erli immediately clapped his hands and said, "My nephew is very reliable! Nothing happened, let's not worry about it."

Liu Daming nodded and said, "Sister, didn't Dalong say that it was all a few days ago? Now they are eating well and sleeping well in the province, why are you worried about them?"

"Well, don't worry about them. I'm just thinking about how much the club was sold for." Xu Laonian said.

Hearing this, Liu Lizhen pointed at his forehead and scolded him. What kind of father is this? He doesn't care about his son, but cares about money instead? However, because of scolding Xu Laonian, Liu Lizhen not only stopped caring about him, but also felt much better. Han Fengjiao thought to herself: Big brother is still very cunning, and he is just a punching bag...

At this moment, everyone seemed to hear the noise of a car, and they hurriedly turned around to look at the gate of the courtyard, and saw the light of the car lights.

"It must be my second nephew!" Wang Erli said affirmatively.

Liu Lizhen walked out of the house in her slippers, followed closely by Han Fengjiao and Yang Shuhua, while the three old men walked slowly.

When they arrived at the courtyard, a car stopped at the door. Xu Ning turned off the engine, took out the car keys, pushed the door open and saw Liu Lizhen.

"mom!"

"How are you? Are you hurt?"

"Oh, nothing happened. It's just my brother's quick tongue. Otherwise, I would have boasted to you guys when I got back."

"Get lost! You are not good at all." Liu Lizhen stepped forward and hit her son twice, then turned her head to see Meng Ziyan and Guan Hua, and said with a smile: "Yan, Hua, how do you feel about this trip to the provincial capital? The provincial capital is quite prosperous, right?"

Meng Ziyan replied: "The city is quite nice, full of foreigners' houses. The villages nearby are not much different from ours, all with bungalows and dirt roads."

"Yeah, actually they are all the same." Guan Hua nodded in agreement.

Li Fuqiang, Guan Lei and Wang Hu jumped out of the back of the car carrying things and waved to Xu Laonian and others.

Xu Ning said, "Dad, don't just stand there, hurry up and get something from the house."

Xu Laonian curled his lips and said indignantly: "I have become your slave!"

Wang Erli said with a smile: "Brother, how can you talk to your own son like that? Move quickly."

Xu Ning approached Liu Lizhen and asked, "Mom, guess how much it was sold for?"

"How can I guess that? Just tell me quickly."

Xu Ning chuckled and said, "In total, we sold more than 5 of them, which is about 5 yuan!"

"What the hell?!" Liu Lizhen exclaimed with wide eyes. She really couldn't believe that leather, mallets, bear bile and other things could be sold for so much money.

This is 5 yuan! Not 5! In other words, in the next 5 years, there will be many families that earn less than 6 yuan a year, and yuan per person per year is exactly the standard for paying taxes...

"How much?" Xu Laonian came over obediently. He didn't hear clearly just now, so he asked.

Xu Ning looked around and said, "Let's go inside and talk! Don't talk about it outside. Brother, pass me the sack."

Li Fuqiang brought the sack over, and Xu Ning whispered to her mother, "This sack is full of money."

"Oh my God! Oh my God, is this true?" Liu Lizhen exclaimed repeatedly, her facial expression unable to hold back any more.

Han Fengjiao and Yang Shuhua happened to be walking over with mung bean cakes and other things. They were stunned when they heard this, staring in disbelief, "All of them? Oh my god... How much is this?"

Xu Ning smiled and said, "Let's go inside and eat first, and then we can talk about it after we're done! After all, it's our money and it won't go away."

"Come in quickly, there are too many people outside, son, don't tell anyone else about this."

"Those who know are our family members, don't worry."

Liu Lizhen excitedly ran to the back of the car and hit Xu Laonian twice, leaving him stunned.

"What are you doing, Jane? I didn't offend you. Did you say something bad about me, you little bastard?"

"Hurry up and move into the house! Our home is completely healed now! Haha..."

Liu Lizhen turned around and walked in. Xu Laonian stared at her back and cursed with gritted teeth: "Silly woman!"

Wang Erli understood what Liu Lizhen said. He carried the washing machine and said, "Brother, take the radio and the rice cooker and come into the house!"

They ran twice and moved all the things in the back compartment to the west room, and then saw Xu Ning put a sack on the end of the kang. Xu Laonian frowned and said, "Why did you throw a broken sack on the kang? It's so dirty."

"Dirty? Hahaha, this thing is indeed dirty and reeks of money!"

Xu Ning grinned and said to his father, "Then don't touch me. Mom, Second Aunt, Second Uncle, Big Sister-in-law, Old Uncle, you can touch me! What is my uncle doing?"

Liu Daming said, "She went to her younger brother's house and will be back tomorrow."

"Touch it, what do you feel?"

Han Fengjiao muttered, "It looks like a paper shell."

"What kind of paper shell is this? It's full of money! Right, Erning?" Wang Erli said with shining eyes.

"Yeah! It's all money! The leather, the mallet, the bear gall and other things were sold for more than 5 yuan!"

"Oh my god! 5? Oh my god..." Han Fengjiao's body and heart trembled when she heard this.

Yang Shuhua blinked her eyes, obviously confused. She glanced at Li Fuqiang and saw him nod. She immediately covered her face with her hands and grinned, "Why, why are you selling so many?"

Liu Lizhen also asked: "Yes, why are they selling so much? I think 2 yuan is good enough."
