Return to 1983 Hunting Xing'an Mountains

Chapter 601: Friends and family gather together. This child is really
During this period, Liu Xuemin, Hu Zhibin and Qian Shude made a lot of money, and Lao Jin and his two apprentices also benefited from it.

After selling for such a long time, Xu Ning conservatively estimated that the six people should be able to earn a gross profit of nearly 8 yuan. However, the bulk of this money was given away by Hu Zhibin. If not, they would not be able to gain a foothold in the street and the city. Liu, Hu, and Qian should have made at least 8000 yuan in profit, Lao Jin could earn about 5000 yuan, and the two apprentices could earn more than 3000 yuan.

There is only one donkey repair shop in Qing'an Street, but there are already five or six in the city. However, the profits in the city are almost the same as those in the street. Why? The population base is large, and although the cost is high, the profit is not small.

Perhaps some people thought that since they had made so much money, why should they bother with Xu Ning? Or even bend down and flatter him?
It's very simple. The three of them all have legitimate jobs. In other words, they are all smart and obviously know that Xu Ning can help them make money in this way, so why don't they support him? Instead, they keep their distance from him. This is not a smart move.

Hu Zhibin felt that the money came too easily, and he especially wanted to get Xu Ning to work with him, for he was afraid that Xu Ning would have some new ideas and would not lead them to play together. Liu Xuemin was naturally no exception, so he could say that if he had a new business, Xu Ning would get the biggest share.

The car drove across the bridge and slowly stopped outside the wall of Old Xu's house. When the car stopped, everyone jumped out one after another.

Inside the house, Xu Feng was running back and forth with a teapot in her hand. After pouring water for Ma Liu, she just looked up and turned around when she noticed the movement at the gate. She hurriedly shouted, "Mom! Brother Liu and Brother Jin... are here!"

After Xu Feng finished shouting, she put down the teapot, ran to the courtyard with her short legs, and ran into Yang Liguo, Zhao Lan, Lao Jin, Liu Xuemin and others.

She walked up to Zhao Lan enthusiastically, took her arm, and said with a grin, "Sister-in-law, you must be tired from the car ride. Come inside and rest for a while."

Zhao Lan smiled and said, "It has to be Feng'er, she is so friendly when she sees people!"

"She studies this all day long..."

At this time, Liu Lizhen and others rushed out of the house, inviting everyone to come in as they walked. Since Liu Xuemin, Lao Jin and others were familiar with the Xu family, Xu Ning introduced Dazhi and Scarface to his family.

After they entered the house, they exchanged pleasantries again. Xu Ning saw Hu Zhibin and asked, "When did Brother Bin come back last night?"

"It was nearly nine o'clock when I got home."

He was very busy with his work in the city and didn't come back for the Mid-Autumn Festival.

The reception room couldn't accommodate so many people, so they split into several groups and sat in the east and west rooms, or moved their stools under the eaves and basked in the sun with their teacups.

Scarface and Dazhi felt a little uncomfortable. In their impression, Xu Ning's family conditions were just average. They never expected that he had built such a nice house and had two donkeys and a tractor at home. They heard from Yang Jun that Xu Ning and he had partnered to open another market, and now Xu Ning had a stake in four markets.

Xu Ning said, "What are you two doing here? Go inside and chat with someone."

Dazhi, who was sitting under the eaves, said with a smile: "Just sit here. There are too many people in the room. We don't know each other."

"We just got to know each other after chatting for a while, right? What's the matter? After being cooped up at home for two years, you don't have the same enthusiasm as before? Damn it!"

Scarface scratched his face and said, "It's not that we don't have the spirit to make a living, we just don't know what to talk to them about."

"Just chat, there are only a few people in this room, and there will be several more groups coming later. Did you see that old man? His name is Ma Liu, he is my uncle, he lived in Dongshan before, and he didn't have much contact with people, but now he is chatting well with them."

Dazhi took out a cigarette and said, "Erning, this is different. We used to hang out together, doing things like stealing, fighting and being hooligans..."

Xu Ning frowned and waved his hands: "What's there to be afraid of? How many people in Qing'an don't know what I was like before? You two have the best relationship with me. Who can look down on you? That would be giving me no face, understand?"

Scarface and Dazhi nodded, and Xu Ning said, "You two follow me."

After the three entered the house, they came to the west room, where Qian Shude, Hu Zhibin, Zhiyong, Li Ye, Li Feng, Yang Jun and a group of people were.

As soon as Xu Ning stepped into the door, they all turned around to greet him. He smiled and said, "Didn't my brother Yong and brother Jun look for someone to do some work last time? Come and see how these two brothers of mine are doing?"

Yang Jun clapped his hands and said, "It must work! I saw these two brothers were the most energetic just now."

Qian Shude smiled and said, "Look energetic, right? Of course, you know what they did before?"

"What do you do?" everyone asked.

"This brother's name is Feng Ye, nicknamed Scarface. The scar on his face is from a fight with Erning. His name is Zheng Dazhi, and he also has two scars on his back... All we know is what they did before, right?"

Hu Zhiyong clapped his hands and said, "Oh my god, these two guys are awesome! Erning, do you want them to go to the 25-leng field? Sure!"

Xu Ning waved his hand and said, "They won't go to the 25-leng field. They have to follow Shitou. I'm thinking of letting them be team leaders and lead the workers. But they can go home to recruit workers. How many people do you and Jun need?"

Yang Jun said: "I can be short of more than ten people here."

"There are more than 20 people here."

"Then let them go home and recruit some people, no matter if they have experience or not. We have many experienced workers in the military field, and they will learn after two or three days of training."

"Well, this should be easy."

Zheng Dazhi quickly understood what Xu Ning meant. He interrupted and said, "Then how many people do we need to find?"

Yang Jun said: "We have to find at least 20 of them."

Zheng Dazhi nodded: "What kind of person should we look for? We don't know much about this."

Xu Ning said with a smile: "Brother Jun, then you guys teach him, I'll go out and take a look."

"You go about your business."

After Xu Ning left, Dazhi and Scarface started chatting with Yang Jun, Hu Zhiyong and others, and then talked about their past days outside, such as how Scarface got his scars...

A moment later, Xu Long, Li Fuqiang, Liu Daming and others came back driving a tractor and two donkeys.

There is a large aluminum basin in the truck bed, which contains unloaded meat and simply cleaned pig intestines, lungs, livers, etc.

The old woman came out when she saw this. She was in a good mood looking at the fresh pork, so she directed them to put the pork and other things in the north kitchen.

Afterwards, Lao Wei took the coarse salt and baking soda, carried the pig intestine basin to the vegetable garden in front, and began to carefully clean the pig intestines.

Lao Jiang carried the pig's head to the yard, chopped it open with an axe, and removed the ears and tongue.

Liu Lizhen directed Liu Daming in the north kitchen, asking him to cut the pork belly and cut the lard and fat into small pieces, which would then be sent to Lao Wang's house for frying.

"Biao, go home and add some fuel to the stove so the oil can heat up."

"Okay, let's add more fire to both stoves?"

"Yes, I still have to steam the rice later."

Xu Ning walked into the restaurant with a smile on his face. He saw Du Shoucai and Yang Yusheng stuffing blood sausage and said with a smile, "This blood smells delicious."

"Hahaha, if you put coriander in it, how can it not smell good? Hey, didn't you get any deer blood when you went hiking?"

"It's done, but I did it in Wangxing. The deer blood was all soaked in wine. My third sister-in-law steamed some blood, and it has a fishy smell."

"Deer blood should be soaked in wine. It is inedible if it is steamed. When you slaughter a deer again, please leave some blood for me."

Xu Ning responded with a smile, "Okay! Uncle San, would you like to try it?"

Yang Yusheng shook his head: "I don't want it. The smell is so strong that I can't stand it."

"Hahaha, you don't know how to enjoy life."

"What kind of blessing is this? I have troubles all day long. Look at my head, all white hair."

"Why worry? If you have any troubles in the future, just let others handle them. Don't do it yourself all the time. You are so old now. You should think about your future."

"There's nothing wrong with that..."

At noon, the sound of car engines roared outside the yard.

Upon hearing the sound, Xu Ning, Xu Laonian, Xu Long and others walked towards the courtyard and vaguely heard Chai Shao's voice.

When they reached the door, it was indeed Chai Shao and Chai Feng, the eldest sister-in-law and the third sister-in-law. Everyone greeted them warmly. Chai Liangyu stood at the door and turned to Ma Liu and said with a smile: "These are my eldest son and second son, and those two are my eldest daughter-in-law and third daughter-in-law."

Ma Liu nodded: "Brother, you are blessed."

"Haha, that's a little bit of luck, but I'm always angry with him. Isn't that what my son does?"

When Chai Bing came yesterday, he brought a lot of things. Today, Chai Shao came again with something. He pointed at Wang Hu and said with a smile: "Huzi, ask your younger brother to move the wine in the carriage into the house." Xu Ning was stunned and said: "Brother, why are you taking wine again? Didn't my third brother say that the winery can't supply it anymore?"

Chai Shao whispered, "I brought the ginseng wine that your uncle hid. Don't tell your uncle! When he asks, I will say it is the wine stored from the year before last."

Chai Liangyu was in the crowd. Although he was old, he was not deaf. He glared at Chai Shao and kicked him, cursing, "You bastard! I managed to hide some wine and you showed it off."

Chai Shao looked a little funny with his butt sticking out. Although a group of people were watching him, he didn't feel embarrassed and just gritted his teeth while accepting the scolding.

Everyone burst into laughter: "Hahaha..."

"Haha... Grandpa, can't you see that? My brother wants you to stop drinking. Huzi, move into the house quickly and drink it all up later, so that I won't have to worry about you."

Chai Liangyu turned around and scolded with a smile: "You are the worst!"

"Hahaha……"

Xu Laonian stood beside him and said, "Brother, if you give the order, I will beat him up!"

Chai Liangyu waved his hand: "Not really. I don't like drinking anyway. I thought I would take it out before Hongyan gets married."

"Hey, Dad, Yan'er is getting married and there's a daughter's wine. Besides, how can our family be without wine?"

"Daughter's wine? I totally forgot about it! Why... my in-laws haven't come yet?"

"They are all in the city now. They will be…"

Before he could finish his words, he saw two cars driving slowly towards him.

The one in front is a Dongfeng, and the one behind is an old Jiefang.

"Isn't this coming? It's Jiye who's driving, right?"

"Well, it's not that good."

Everyone was standing at the door waiting. Guan Lei stepped forward to help Sun Jieye direct parking, because the road in front of Old Xu's and Old Wang's houses was not well connected. Although it could park more than ten cars, it could not park too many large trucks, so the cars could only be parked in the open space in an orderly manner.

After the car stopped, Sun Lianfang jumped out first. Seeing the person standing at the door, she grinned and said, "Oh my god, there's no need to greet them! They're all family members. Why would we greet them? It's quite awkward..."

"Hahaha..." everyone laughed.

Sun Lianfang turned around and patted Guan Lei on the shoulder and said, "Why isn't Little Stone happy to see me?"

Guan Lei shook off her arm, turned his head and looked at Sun Jiwei who was getting off the car and said, "Second Uncle! Third Uncle..."

"Hey! Have you finished killing the pig?"

"We finished slaughtering them in the afternoon, and now my aunt and the others are stewing the meat."

At this time, Sun Jishan, Er Niang, Third Aunt, Sun Lianjun, Lian Xu and Lian Sheng, who were sitting in the back car, jumped out of the car.

Xu Ning was slightly stunned. He thought that the car behind him also belonged to Old Sun's family, so he hurried to the back of the car.

"Erning!"

"Uncle, Auntie, Third Aunt..."

Sun Jishan looked at the old Jiefang car that was reversing behind him and asked, "This car has been following us. I didn't expect it was also heading for your house."

Xu Ning looked up and saw the person driving the car, then said with a smile, "Yes, it's my friend from the provincial capital. Uncle, you guys go inside first, I'll go take a look."

"Hey, go do your thing."

Xu Laonian, Xu Long and others came to greet them. They did not let Sun Jishan and others go in by themselves. The main reason was that Sun Lianfang was too talkative. When she saw that Guan Lei ignored her, she held Liu Lizhen's hand and kept chatting. Finally, Meng Ziyan and Chai Hongyan pulled her into the yard before she calmed down.

Xu Ning walked to the open space in front of Lao Wang's house and said with a smile: "Brother Dong, you're here quite early."

Chen Hedong grinned and pushed open the car door: "Of course! The four of us stayed at a guesthouse in the city last night."

The co-pilot was Su Yawen, Zhang Aini and Su Beichuan. After the three of them got out of the car, Su Yawen said, "Your house is really well built! It looks so grand!"

Su Beichuan nodded: "Yeah, look at the mountain behind and the river in front of the door... It's amazing that you can find this place."

Xu Ning smiled and said, "Isn't it easy to find a residential plot in the village? Let's go inside..."

"Hey, I didn't take the things."

Chen Hedong and Su Beichuan turned around, then stopped and turned around and said, "Erning, ask Lei Zi and the others to come over and help move. Your sister-in-law prepared a lot this time."

"I told you before to take less, sister-in-law, why are you still being polite to me?"

Su Yawen said: "This is not a courtesy, it's my duty. If it weren't for you, it's hard to say whether Hedong can get out of the mountains. Besides, I have siphoned a lot of money home this time..."

Chen Hedong nodded: "I have severed ties with my family, and my household registration is being processed, but the family's shares and money have been divided up. Excluding the 5000 yuan for Chen Heshuang's recovery, I still have more than 9 yuan left, as well as the silver my grandfather gave me and a bunch of broken antiques. My father-in-law said they are worth more than 5 yuan..."

Xu Ning hurriedly stopped him and said, "Brother Dong, this man is much older, don't say anything."

"Hey, there's nothing to be afraid of. They are all family members."

"Be more careful! Otherwise my sister-in-law will punish you."

"Haha, ask her if she dares to fight with me?" Chen Hedong said pretentiously.

Xu Ning was too lazy to pay attention to him. When he saw Xu Laonian and Liu Lizhen coming over, he said, "Sister-in-law, Sister Zhang, let me introduce you. This is my parents."

"Hey, uncle and aunt! Are you feeling well lately?" Chen Hedong took two steps forward, grabbed Xu Laonian's hand and asked.

Xu Laonian smiled and said, "Very good. How's your elder brother? Nothing happened, I hope."

Chen Hedong shook his head: "He is not my eldest brother now, anyway, it's no big deal as long as he keeps his breath."

Su Yawen pinched him from behind, causing him to grimace in pain. He turned back and asked, "Why are you pinching me?"

"Uncle, aunt, I am Su Yawen, Chen Hedong's girlfriend. Thanks to your help, Hedong was able to bring his great-grandfather back home from the mountains."

Liu Lizhen said with a smile: "Why are you being so polite? Hedong is a very honest kid..."

At this time, Xu Ning introduced: "Mom and Dad, this is Zhang Aini, the daughter of my uncle Wan, Uncle Liu, and my third uncle in the provincial capital. She is now working in the provincial capital branch. When I go to the provincial capital, it is Sister Zhang who takes care of us..."

"Oh my, this girl is so pretty! She feels like she's at home here. Is she dating someone?"

"Mom, don't ask nonsense questions. Isn't her boyfriend here? Su Beichuan..."

Su Yawen said with a smile: "Aunt, he is my younger brother. He and Aini can be together because of Erning's help."

Chen Hedong grinned and said, "Well, thanks to Erning, otherwise my brother-in-law would be single."

"Hahaha... this kid is quite funny."

Xu Laonian said with a smile: "Then stop standing here and go into the house."

Chen Hedong said, "Uncle, you guys go into the house first, I'll go get something."

At this time, Wang Hu, Guan Lei and others had finished moving the things that Old Sun's family had brought. Xu Ning waved and said, "Come here! Brother Dong has a lot of things in this car, too."

"Hey! Brother Dong, sister-in-law..."

After introducing them, Liu Lizhen pulled Su Yawen and Zhang Aini into the house, while Xu Laonian stood at the back of the car chatting with Chen Hedong and Su Beichuan.
