Return to 1983 Hunting Xing'an Mountains

Chapter 625 Furniture Business is Hot Pan Chicken Claw
Yang Jun was a man who cared about his reputation. After he told Old Xu about his tragic experience under the influence of alcohol, he felt much more relaxed.

After he got into trouble, all his relatives and friends watched coldly, only the Xu family extended a helping hand and helped him with all their heart. This was a great favor to Yang Jun, and he was also a man who valued friendship and loyalty, otherwise he would not have gone to visit the old couple Xu Pao who had returned from the provincial capital.

Why did he go to visit Xu Pao? It was also because Yang Junji was grateful. There was no special feeling between him and Xu Pao, only a relatively special relationship.

That is the relationship between a creditor and a debtor. A few years ago, Yang Jun wanted to contract the 17leng field, but he was short of money, so he came to Taipingtun to ask Yang Dong for help.

Yang Dong took him to Xu Pao's house and borrowed 1500 yuan from Xu Pao. You should know that Yang Jun's family was relatively poor at that time, and others were afraid that Yang Jun could not pay it back, so they made excuses not to lend him the money. However, Xu Pao did not say much, but asked Aunt Gao to get a bag of change and make up the 1500 yuan to lend to Yang Jun.

Yang Jun raised his finger and pointed at the lamp and swore that the money was borrowed at a monthly interest rate of 45%. If he couldn't pay it back, he would work like a slave for Xu Pao to pay it back. How much is the monthly interest rate of %? yuan!

He paid back the money after running the business for half a year. The interest for half a year was 270, but Yang Jun rounded it up to an even number and directly paid Xu Pao 1800 yuan!

But he didn't stop there after paying off the money. He would bring something as a gift to Xu Pao almost every year.

Xu Ning first heard about this from Xu Pao, and then Yang Jun told it from his perspective.

All of the above are the reasons why Xu Ning is willing to help Yang Jun. After all, living in a small rural town, people have to stick together for warmth.

Yang Jun took Yang Yi's hand and walked into the courtyard. From a distance, he saw Liu Lizhen standing at the door. He took Yang Yi's hand and waved, introducing her to him.

Yang Yi was well-behaved and clever, and was loved by these old ladies. After they entered the house, they hurriedly washed their hands, then picked up the bowls and chopsticks...

This afternoon, the dish was bear meat. The whole table was filled with bear meat. Yang Yi, who was sitting next to Yang Jun, was stunned. He turned his head from time to time to look at his father. Yang Jun touched his head and said with a smile: "Your grandmother Liu specially prepared this dish for you. Is it tough?"

"Hard!" Yang Yi gave a thumbs up and nodded heavily.

The child's expression made everyone laugh.

Liu Lizhen placed the sliced ​​meat in front of Yang Yi and said with a smile: "Don't put pressure on the kids, this is just a home-cooked meal! Jun, you guys should drink if you want to! Anyway, there's nothing to do in the afternoon."

"Hey, Huzi went home to get the medicinal wine. I'll make some at noon."

Xu Ning said with a smile: "You have too much energy to use. What will you do if you drink too much?"

"What else can I do? Just hold it in!"

When everyone stopped laughing, Liu Lizhen asked, "Jun, he doesn't have a nickname? Calling him by his full name all the time makes it seem like he's not close to you."

Yang Jun said: "His nickname is Baozhu."

"Oh, what a good name, Baoguang Yuzhu, Baozhu will definitely become a rich second-generation in the future!"

"Hahaha, rich second generation, this term is very well put together, my son must be a rich second generation in the future!"

Liu Lizhen said with a smile: "Then he is of the same generation as your uncle. Erning said that he made money so that his father could also become a rich second-generation."

"Hahaha..." There was a loud laugh inside the house, almost blowing the roof off.

After Wang Hu came back with a can of medicinal wine, everyone started eating.

The women from Old Xu's family didn't ask much, they just chatted with Yang Jun about family matters. Yang Jun chatted with them while drinking with Xu Ning and the others. He had a very comfortable meal because he found that Old Xu's family was not so troublesome. Although they were curious about his private life, they were very considerate and didn't ask any random questions in front of Yang Yi.

The elders and villagers of Qingyi Village are simply incomparable to them. They are all stupid and tell their children everything...

Because of Yang Yi, Yang Jun didn't dare drink too much. He had to save some energy to take care of the children.

But the master was rather careless in taking care of the child. After Yang Yi had been with him for less than two days, the collar of his clothes was covered with rice grains and his cuffs were black.

After everyone had eaten and drunk their fill and cleared the leftovers from the table, Sun Lianfang took Yang Yi to the west room to watch TV. During this time, Liu Lizhen spoke her true feelings.

"Aunt, let me tell you something real. You just got divorced, but you still have to find a husband. You are always busy with work, so how can you take care of the children? Look at the clothes Baozhu is wearing, you don't even know to find him a clean one to change into. Go back and change his clothes later, and then bring the dirty clothes over. We have a washing machine at home, you can just throw them in and wash them."

Yang Jun's face flushed when he heard this, and he nodded: "Yeah, I know. I was really too busy these past two days, and I didn't dare to look at him carefully. I always felt that I owed him a lot..."

Wu Qiuxia said, "That's normal. What parent wouldn't love their child? Have you settled everything over there?"

"Well, it's all done. From now on, I have nothing to do with that woman. If she wants to ask me for money under the pretext of visiting Baozhu, I can't give it to her. She can die wherever she wants!"

Han Fengjiao said: "There's nothing I can say about your situation, but there's nothing wrong with what you do."

Xu Ning stood on the door frame of the north kitchen and said, "Brother Jun, if it doesn't work, you can spend some money and hire someone to take care of the children."

Liu Lizhen glared and asked, "What's the point of spending money? We have so many family members, how can we not take care of a child?"

Yang Jun said with a smile: "Aunt, Erning is right. You may seem to have nothing to do, but you have to cook for a whole family. It's quite tiring once you get busy..."

Liu Lizhen thought about it for a moment and felt that this was true. If it was a baby that couldn't walk, she could still help take care of it, but a child who could walk might disappear if she wasn't paying attention. What if something happened to him?

Xu Ning said, "Brother Jun, you take care of him by yourself for two years. Baozhu is in need of love right now, so you have to be there to keep an eye on him. Otherwise, it will be hard to control him when he grows up."

"Yeah, I think so too. In the past, his mother took care of him. I only went home every three or five days, or even every two weeks. Baozhu and I don't have a deep relationship. This is a good opportunity for me to cultivate my relationship with him."

Liu Lizhen said with a smile: "You have to find one, Baozhu is so young, and you still need to make money, so you really need someone at home."

"...Aunt, do you think anyone would be interested in me with my appearance?"

"How come there isn't one? It all depends on fate! Besides, you're not ugly, you just look cold, but you're actually kind-hearted."

Xu Ning said with a smile: "Look how good my mother is at chatting. Brother Jun, go change Baozhu's clothes first, and then we'll go to the training ground."

"Haha, OK!"

Yang Jun took Yang Yi back to the old house, while Xu Ning drove his donkey to the village headquarters and called Zhang Jinbao.

At present, Zhang Jinbao has a good business in the Jinlong furniture store in the city. The reason is naturally that the Jinlong furniture on Xishan Street was featured in the city's newspapers.

When citizens saw such novel furniture, they thought it was very expensive. However, when the advertisement was placed in the newspaper, the newspaper deliberately wrote about Xiao Xu's furniture purchase process and prices in the first person, and also stated that buying from Jinlong Furniture is guaranteed, including customization and installation, after-sales service, etc.

In this way, when citizens in need, they will go to Jinlong Furniture on Xishan Street to shop and negotiate prices in the store. So Zhang Jinbao was very busy during this period. The person in charge of the street office even pulled a telephone line for him, which was enough to show that the street office was strongly supportive!
"I was just trying to figure out where to get a few loads of wood. Your call came just in time! When will you deliver it?"

Xu Ning asked: "What size do you want? We don't have anything else right now, but we have a lot of wood! We have whatever size you want..."

"Any size is fine! First, you need to pull two trucks for me. They are mainly yellow pineapple. This wood looks beautiful and many people like it."

"Okay, then I'll send you one car tomorrow and another one the day after tomorrow."

"That's all! You can come over and take a look. Hey, why don't you ask my dad if he has time? Let him and my mom bring Yinhe over to stay for a few days. This area is very well maintained now."

"He should be fine. I'll go ask him now. If they have time, I'll send them all over."

"Okay, can you arrive tomorrow at noon?"

"That's about it." After hanging up the phone, Xu Ning said hello to Du Shoucai and rode his bike to Lao Meng's house.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw Meng Yinhe pushing a planer. He exclaimed, "Oh my god! Brother-in-law! My sister told me that you killed another brown bear?"

"Well, did you have meat for lunch?"

"You have to eat! Come in quickly, my parents are in the back gardening."

Xu Ning stopped and ran towards the back garden. Seeing Meng Quezi and Liu Fenfang, he smiled and said, "Mom and Dad, why are you still tidying up the garden at this time?"

"Pick up some potatoes. Aren't you busy today?"

"Not busy. I went hiking yesterday and helped Yang Jun move today. I don't have anything to do in the afternoon... I just talked to my brother Bao on the phone. He said the furniture store is in great shape and he wants you to stay there for a few days."

"It's going pretty well? It's only been over 20 days and there's already some improvement?"

"It's definitely getting better. My grandpa Sun asked the newspaper to put an advertisement. Everyone in the city knows that there is a Jinlong furniture store on Xishan Street. You and my mom can go take a look. There's nothing to do at home, right?"

Meng Quezi said, "It's okay to go. I have to go to the city to work in a few days."

"Erning, when are you going?"

"Tomorrow, I'll send two truckloads of wood to Brother Bao. The furniture factory is barely making ends meet now."

Meng Quezi laughed and said, "This kid must want me to do some hard labor over there. He has put all his intentions on me."

"Hahaha...then you are not his father."

Liu Fenfang said: "Of course I am fine. I have called you dad for so many years, shouldn't you help me?"

"Then you all come over to eat tonight. My mom is making dumplings at home, so we can have a drink."

"Okay! Let your mother go first, I'll go after dinner."

Xu Ning said, "Okay, then I have to go to the military headquarters and call my friend."

"Go ahead. Who are you going to drive to the city tomorrow?"

"He drives Yang Jun's car. He and his son are now living in my second uncle's old house. They just moved in today."

"Ah..." Liu Fenfang was stunned and asked, "Did Yang Jun and his wife get divorced?"

"Divorced, this is something no man can accept. He can't live in Qingyi anymore, and the neighbors say everything to the child, making the child look terrible. I feel uncomfortable just watching him."

"There are all kinds of people here. I'll wash my hands and then come over. You go ahead and do your work."

"Eh."

Xu Ning rode his donkey back to the village, walked into the house, walked to the edge of the kang and poured a cup of tea.

Du Shoucai looked at him and said, "I've found the spring for you. Just replace it and it will work. Next time you go to the mountains, take it apart and have a look. Don't be blind. You may just be lucky. If the gun really jams, what will you do?"

"Yes, it was indeed my fault."

Why did Xu Ning's trajectory deviate to the right when he killed the big brown bear? The reason is that the spring was rusted and there was a small problem with the sealing.

"When can you get a raccoon?"

"You idiot, there are not many mountains where we live. We have to go to the Songhua River in Wangxing, or the Sanjiang grassland."

Du Shoucai said, "Then think of a way. The last time I ate raccoon was when I was in the production team. I don't know where Lao Zhang from Taian went to repair leather, so the boss gave him two. I stewed them with some pickled cabbage and they were delicious. I still savor them today."

"Haha, sure! I'm sure I can get some raccoons this winter. My uncle finally talked back to me, so how can I not do it?"

"Okay, do it quickly, or your nephew will torture me to death."

"What's going on? How did he know?"

Du Shoucai said, "Isn't this the bear meat that your uncle brought over this morning? Your sister-in-law fried some for lunch. I am a bit of a snob, so I mentioned this at the dinner table. Your eldest nephew insisted on trying it and kept pestering me."

"Hahaha, you really like to show off to your grandson. I'll remember this and I'll definitely let my nephew have some this winter!"

Then, Xu Ning turned around, walked to the table, picked up the phone, and dialed the number of King Kong Village.

The person who answered the phone was the accountant of King Kong Village. When he heard that the person wanted to talk to Zheng Dazhi, he asked Xu Ning to wait a moment. Xu Ning could clearly hear the broadcast from the loudspeaker through the receiver. About 10 minutes later, Zheng Dazhi answered the phone.

"Erining?"

"It's me. How are you and Feng Ye preparing? How many people have you found?"

Zheng Dazhi smiled and said, "There are 23 people, all of whom are my relatives. Seven of them have worked in the field before, and the rest are all young people, the oldest of whom is no older than 40."

"Okay! Then you call them all. I'll probably go there later. It should be around 3 o'clock in the afternoon when I get to your place. Then we'll go back to Qing'an overnight and ask them to take the luggage, bedding, lunch boxes, etc..."

"I know. I've told you everything. I'll tell you again tomorrow."

Zheng Dazhi paused and said, "Erning, I have something to tell you. I have a buddy who was raised by a naked boy. His family is having a hard time now. His parents are gone. He has two younger brothers and a younger sister. The two younger brothers are sixteen or seventeen years old, and the younger sister is eighteen..."

Xu Ning frowned and asked, "Are these two brothers twins?"

"No! His mother was a widow before. She took him and his younger sister to marry his stepfather. His stepfather brought his two sons and they just lived together like this. One of his stepfather's two sons is his biological son, and the other is an adopted son."

"Oh, that's the case, what should I pay attention to?"

Zheng Dazhi said, "His left hand is disabled. People in the village call him Pan Chicken Claw. If he goes to work in Lengchang, he has to bring his younger brothers and sisters with him. Erning, do you think this is feasible?"

"Can he work?"

"Yes! He can do any housework at home. He is more energetic than me! His younger sister can also cook a little..."

"No, the people working in the farm are all men. What is a young girl like her doing here? Isn't this just asking for trouble?"

Zheng Dazhi smiled and said, "Then I'll tell him."

"Just tell him I don't agree. There's no need to make excuses, and don't feel embarrassed. When we work in the mountains, the most taboo thing is old women. An old woman will ruin the mountain farm, understand?"

"Okay! I'll go tell him now."
