Return to 1983 Hunting Xing'an Mountains

Chapter 607: The newlyweds are millionaires

The setting sun moved and slowly sank, and the red glow gradually faded away. Although it was beautiful for only a moment, it still couldn't block the brilliant colors.

When the red sun completely disappeared and the sky was shrouded in darkness, Old Xu's house was still decorated with lights. The courtyard was hung with red lanterns with candles, and pictures of "happiness" were pasted on the window glass. The floor of the house was littered with melon seeds, peanut shells, wedding candy wrappers, cigarette butts and other items.

However, Liu Lizhen and others did not clean up. This job was left for Meng Ziyan to do tomorrow morning. It was not to bully her, but to have a surprise!
Chai, Wu, Sun and others who were fast asleep in the two houses have woken up and gathered in the reception room to chat. After sobering up, everyone talked about when to leave, and they were inevitably a little sad. Xu Ning tried his best to keep Xu Pao to stay for a few more days. Chai Liangyu was also reluctant to let him go and hoped that he would stay in Wangxing for a while, because this meeting between the three brothers might be the last time in their lives.

Seeing that his father was moved, Xu He and Xu He persuaded Xu Pao to stay for a few more days and pick him up back to the provincial capital in winter. Xu Pao agreed with a grin, which made Chai Liangyu and Chang Danian clap their legs and cheer loudly. Since Xu Pao recovered from rheumatoid arthritis last year, he has not had a relapse since going to the provincial capital, so his physique is much stronger than before and can withstand the fatigue of the journey.

Since Xu Ning and Meng Ziyan's business has been settled, their plan is to leave after breakfast tomorrow morning and go back to their respective homes.

The old Chai family had to go back to Wangxing to clean up the ginseng fields and protect the farmers. In addition, Xu Ning's dog gang was still in Wangxing, and Xu Pao had to go there to help discipline them. Tomorrow, Li Fuqiang, Da Laba, and Liu Daming would go to Wangxing with Chai Liangyu. Why didn't Wang Hu go? He had to follow Guan Lei to Sandaohe in two days, after all, he was Guan Lei's brother-in-law.

Sun Jishan and Yang Yusheng will go to the forest farm tomorrow. After announcing the matter, they will have to return to the city. Xiao Du and Yan He will drive the Yellow River car to send Xu Feng and Jin Yumantang back to school first...

Old Sun's family also has to leave tomorrow. They have to go back to clean up the house and prepare the dishes for entertaining guests and the procedures for the wedding banquet. By then, it will be more convenient for Old Chai's family to go directly from Wangxing to Sandaohe, so when Guan Lei gets married, Old Chai's family may not come.

But with Chai Liangyu's brain that is so capable of doing things, he is very likely to send Chai Bing to take a look around, because the Chai family and the Sun family are actual relatives, and they don't have any special relationship with Guan Lei, so it is conceivable that when Guan Lei and Sun Lianfang got married in Qing'an, it would definitely not be as spectacular as when Xu Ning and Meng Ziyan got married today.

Wu Haiquan meant to go back to Wanye with his father, uncle, Han Fang, and Hailong first, leaving Guan Mei and the children here. However, the Wu family did not need to go to Sandaohe to attend Sun Lianfang's wedding banquet. Why? It was just a custom. The rules and traditions here were that only the bride's relatives and friends were invited to the wedding banquet, and the groom only needed to send a groom and the groom's immediate family members, and no elders were required to be present.

But the Xu family had to go, because their relationship with the Sun family was not based on Guan Lei and Sun Lianfang, but on Sun Jishan. Now his relationship with Yang Yusheng was that of comrades in the same trench, and this relationship was basically indestructible.

Wang Minfu, Guo Hongxia, and Wang Yuanjun were sent home by Xu Long before dark. He would send Wang Shujuan back to her parents' home at noon tomorrow, and then pick up Wang Yuanjun to go back to the city together...

"Erning, I have nothing to do when I go back. It's just right for me to stay here with your sister-in-law for a few days. We will leave after Lei Zi and Hu Zi get married in October."

Chen Hedong didn't beat around the bush. He spoke directly to Xu Ning with a cigarette in his mouth.

"Sure! I was thinking of asking you to stay a little longer. We two brothers need to have a few more drinks."

Su Yawen said with a smile: "Your brother Dong is so lazy that he doesn't even want to take the car. Then we can stay here for a while, but we have to send Beichuan and Aini back to the province. I am a little worried about them driving by themselves."

"It's okay. Feng Ye and Da Zhi are also going back to Laoshanzi Village. Let them take a ride."

Su Beichuan looked at Feng Ye Dazhi, nodded and said with a smile: "Thank you for your help."

"Hey, you're being polite now. You boasted a lot when you were drinking with others just now." Chen Hedong said with a sneer.

Xu He said, "We just happen to be on the same road. If you two can't drive, you can ask my brother-in-law or Lao Li to help drive a wheel."

"Brother He, there's nothing wrong with this arrangement! Then let's do it this way."

Of course Xu Ning knew that Xu He had also returned to the province. The reason he didn't mention it was because Xu He was the older brother. How could a younger brother arrange things for his older brother? They were not brothers from the same mother.

After saying that, he turned around and said, "Dazhi, when you two go back, find some friends and ask them if they are willing to come to Qing'an Lengchang to work. The work will definitely be very tiring. Don't look for those who are troublemakers or cunning and scheming."

"Yeah, I see. Brother, then shall we bring our own bedding?"

"Of course you have to take it. Pack your things before winter comes, and then send me a message. I will pick you up when the time comes, or ask someone else to pick you up."

"OK……"

At this time, Wang Biao came over and asked, "Second brother, shall we go out and set off some flowers?"

He, Tian'en and Huang Lin did not follow Lao Jin because Lao Jin, Lao Qian and Liu Xuemin had gone back to the street first. Besides, Guan Lei and Wang Hu were going to get married in a few days, so they had to stay and serve dishes, and then go to the city to learn a craft after October 1st.

"Ask your second sister-in-law if she wants to go."

"They are all waiting for you outside."

"Hey, what are you waiting for me for? Just let me go."

Having said that, Xu Ning still stood up and called Chen Hedong, Sister Yawen and others to go out and enjoy the fireworks.

Fireworks these days have two notable features: one is that they are loud, and the other is that they are big!

When Wang Biao and others lit the fireworks, a deafening sound was heard on the ground, and then it bloomed into a huge flower in the air.

"Hahaha, the flowers made by Brother Qiang are so cool! The sound is making my ears buzz..."

Li Fuqiang laughed: "Of course!"

Liu Lizhen and others were standing on the platform. Xu Ning and Meng Ziyan were holding hands tightly, with fireworks flashing in their eyes. It looked like a happy scene from a distance.

It was almost 9: after the fireworks were set off, so everyone went back to their rooms to sleep. Since it was Xu Ning and Meng Ziyan's virginity, Xu Long and Wang Shujuan lived in the west room, while Chai Liangyu, Sun Jishan, Wu Zhouliang and others lived in the second east room. The rest of the people lived in the three rooms of Old Wang's family, the old house, and Li Fuqiang's house.

In the second west room, Meng Ziyan came over with a brand new enamel basin filled with warm water for foot soaking. She brought it to the bedside, put it down, squatted, and looked up at Xu Ning's face.

Then, without saying a word, she took off Xu Ning's shoes and socks and washed his feet...

The more she washed, the redder her face became. Xu Ning looked at her little face and felt that it was dripping with water. He smiled and said, "You are also very tired today. Can I wash it for you?"

"Oh, no, I can wash myself."

Xu Ning grinned and said, "Can you wash yourself the same as me? Hurry up and wipe me, and then go get a basin of water, and I will wash your size 36 feet."

"Oh..." Meng Ziyan was a little shy.

"Haha, why are you still embarrassed? Hurry up, I'm anxious."

"..."

Meng Ziyan said nothing. She just wiped his feet with a foot rag, then went out to get a basin of water. She sat on the bed and whispered, "Should I still wear the red socks later?"

Xu Ning pondered for a moment, weighed the pros and cons, and said, "Don't wear it yet. It's too dirty and hard to wash. When did you buy it?"

"I bought it last time when Lianfang and I went to the big mall in the city."

Xu Ning whispered in her ear: "Buy thinner ones next time. I like thin ones."

Meng Ziyan shrank her neck and felt a little itchy, pouting and nodding. He went downstairs in his red slippers, sat on a small stool and put Meng Ziyan's feet in the basin. Since she didn't walk often, her feet were quite tender, and her size 36 feet could be held in one hand.

"Don't tickle my feet, it's prickly..."

As soon as he said this, Xu Ning suddenly remembered a joke from later generations: The president took off his cotton pants, thread pants, and long trousers, and she opened her mouth and asked, "What are you doing?" Hurry up.

"What are you laughing at?"

Xu Ning shook his head: "Nothing, did mom tell you how much money I'm going to pick up today?"

"I told you that the total amount received was 532 yuan, of which 6 yuan came from my parents, so my family received 129 yuan. Mom said she would give me the money, but I refused."

Meng Ziyan pointed to the drawer under the bed and said, "There are still 1350 yuan in the drawer. They are all red envelopes given by my uncle, uncle, brother and sister-in-law. My parents also gave me 500 yuan last night. I also received money from my parents for changing my name and money from relatives for serving tea. There are 602 yuan..."

Xu Ning raised his hand and wiped it with a rag, then turned and walked to the bookcase, took out a biscuit box from one of the cabinet doors, took it to the bed and opened it.

"Take a look."

Meng Ziyan saw that everyone inside was united and exclaimed, "Oh my god, why are there so many?"

"Shh!"

Xu Ning put his index finger on his lips and said, "Keep your voice down. This is the small treasury I used to save that gangster when I killed him in Sandahe. It's more than 20,000 yuan in total. I promised him 10,000 yuan to give to his uncle. I have to give it to him after winter. The rest is my errand fee. This is our private money, okay?"

"Ah..." Meng Ziyan was obviously still in shock and just nodded slowly.

Xu Ning walked to the dressing table again and took out something wrapped in brown paper from the drawer under the table. He sat next to Meng Ziyan and opened it, saying, "This is what I have saved up these days. There are probably more than 350 yuan in total. You can keep it."

"No, you're a man, you need to have some money in your pocket. I don't have much to do at home, so it's useless to keep it in my hands. Besides, before we got married, didn't we agree that you'd be the head of the family, and you have the final say..."

Xu Ning said with a smile: "It depends on who is in charge of the money. If I am in charge, I will use it to do business. If you are in charge, you may be able to keep some money. You can take it. I will keep the more than 300 yuan, and you can keep the rest."

Meng Ziyan pointed at the biscuit box and said, "Do you want to take this money too? I have never seen so much money..."

"Just keep it. Only you and my third uncle know about this money. My parents and my brother and sister-in-law don't know about it. Hey, how about this? You can use this money to buy some gold jewelry and give it to mom and sister-in-law. Then buy a gold bracelet for my second aunt, uncle and eldest sister-in-law. Do you understand why?"

Meng Ziyan nodded: "I know. At that time in Sandaohe, it was my elder brother who followed you into the mountains. He almost didn't make it out. I should buy more gold bracelets for my elder sister-in-law. Don't buy too expensive ones, otherwise the ten thousand yuan will not be enough."

"Well, I mean to give it to my eldest sister-in-law and second aunt... No, forget about buying gold bracelets. This amount of money can't buy anything fun."

Xu Ning thought about it carefully for a moment and felt that this idea was unrealistic. The worst thing about buying things is not buying them for her, not buying them for her, or buying too much or too little for her.

Meng Ziyan stepped on the edge of the enamel basin and asked, "What should we do?"

"I was thinking that when I made some money from the game, I would give 2000 yuan to my eldest brother and 1000 yuan to Hu Zi and Lei Zi."

"Then keep 3000 yuan and use the rest to buy gold bracelets for mom and sister-in-law, how about that?"

"Okay! But we can't buy all the gold bracelets. We have to save some money for business. Do you understand?"

"Well... I'm dazzled by all the money. Put it away quickly. I'll go get some water."

Xu Ning nodded and put the biscuit box and the brown paper bag back into place.

Nowadays, the newlyweds have a small treasury of 23,000 yuan, which is indeed very wealthy. However, after deducting the 10,000 yuan given to Uncle Li Quan and the money left to Li Fuqiang, Wang Hu and Guan Lei, it is only less than 10,000 yuan, which is a little short of becoming a millionaire, but not by much.

When Meng Ziyan came back, she tiptoed to close the door, sat on the edge of the bed, and felt a little at a loss.

She made small talk: "My sister-in-law gave me 200 yuan today..."

Xu Ning got into bed and said, "I know, come in quickly, take off your clothes, and I'll hold you in my arms and sleep."

"..."

Meng Ziyan raised her hand, took off her shirt and hung it on the hanger.

At this time, Xu Ning hugged him and then spoke eloquently, swallowing his words. People who have experienced the passing of time understand the importance of time, so he put in some hard work in this regard...

Xu Ning recalled the scene of his marriage with Meng Ziyan. At that time, he pretended to be noble and got drunk that night, and did not let Meng Ziyan succeed at all. Today was different from the past. He gave Meng Ziyan two chances, but she was not motivated and had to give up.

He got up and fetched a basin of water, then washed himself clean, and then he hugged her and fell asleep.

The night passed quietly and the next day dawned. The early sun rose slowly and soon painted the earth golden.

Liu Lizhen knocked on the door and shouted, "Girl, get up and sweep the floor!"

Meng Ziyan had woken up a long time ago. She didn't sleep much last night. She turned around and pushed Xu Ning and said, "Hurry up and get up."

"I don't like to move, you put clothes on me."

Meng Ziyan had no choice but to pick up his clothes and put them on him. She was a little confused when she put on his pants, then she bit her lip and pulled them up with all her strength.

"Oh fuck...it hurts!"

"What's wrong? What's wrong? Where does it hurt? Let me rub it for you."

Xu Ning rolled his eyes and said, "I won't let you take advantage of me."

"Hey, hurry up and get up, your parents will be waiting anxiously."

"If you kiss me, I'll get up."

She really had no choice but to obey. Then Xu Ning sat up, put on his clothes quickly, and went out, taking off his shoes.

Young people who have good sleep know that the greatest pain after sleeping through the night is an explosion.

He pushed the door open and ran out, saying hello to Chai Liangyu and others, and then hurried off to take care of his personal problems.
