Return to 1983 Hunting Xing'an Mountains

Chapter 657: Yang Jun is quite skilled in controlling the widow's heart

Although Sun Cuiping was a little quiet at first, but after Yang Jun became eloquent and made some self-deprecating remarks, Sun Cuiping started to talk. They chatted and got to know each other's past. Some people say that they cannot talk to others about the tragic things that happened to them, because otherwise they will be regarded as a sharp knife stabbing them.

However, Yang Jun and Sun Cuiping share the same fate and are equally matched. Who would hold a knife and stab the other? Besides, neither Yang Jun nor Sun Cuiping would say anything when they get emotional!
After talking for a while, the two had already decided on the matter, except for Li Tong's approval. Sun Cuiping was worried that her daughter would look down on Yang Jun, because Li Tong had said before that Yang Jun had a face full of pustules. After all, Li Tong was Li Shan's daughter, so naturally she would follow her roots. Otherwise, how could Xu Feng, who was so easy-going, have a conflict with him?

In the courtyard, Xu Ning sat on a wooden stool and chatted with Li Feng. Chang Lihong took out a small basket of peanuts from the house. After her thighs were numb, she saw Yang Jun coming out of the house. He turned back as he walked: "Hey, sister, you don't have to see me off! Hurry up and ask your daughter. If she agrees, then it will be easier for us in the future!"

Sun Cuiping blushed and nodded slightly in response.

Xu Ning, Li Feng, and Chang Lihong all turned their heads at the same time and looked at the two of them with smiles. When they came closer, Xu Ning asked with a smile, "How were you two chatting?"

"Once her daughter nods, we'll do it!" Yang Jun said happily, clapping his hands.

Li Feng said casually: "Tongtong will definitely agree, Jun brother...so from now on should I call you brother or brother-in-law?"

Yang Jun grinned and said, "Haha, just shout whatever makes you feel comfortable. It's better to call me Jun brother dear. Calling me brother-in-law seems to be a barrier between us."

Chang Lihong replied: "Then call me brother! Anyway, I'm used to calling you sister-in-law, and I don't want to change my name to sister."

Li Feng waved his hand: "You and sister-in-law go into the house to prepare the food. Erning and Jun will stay here to eat at noon."

Yang Jun said hurriedly: "Come on, forget it, it should be my treat!"

At this time, Xu Ning said: "Brother Feng, don't worry. We have a long way to go. We really can't eat here today..."

"What can't I eat? You said we've known each other for such a long time, but you've never come to my place to serve me food. Today's the perfect time for us to meet, so let's stop being polite, okay?"

Chang Lihong said hurriedly: "Brother Jun, you and Erning should go into the house and wait for a while. It's a good opportunity for Brother Jun to taste my sister-in-law's cooking skills!"

This was a good excuse, and Yang Jun couldn't refuse for a moment. He turned his head and looked at Xu Ning. Seeing that he didn't say anything, he knew that he agreed. He smiled and nodded: "Okay! Then we can have lunch here. But it's not even 9 o'clock now, and I have to go to the street."

Xu Ning nodded: "Yeah, I have something to do on the street."

Li Feng frowned and said, "Then you won't be back until the afternoon, right?"

"No, we can drive pretty fast, and we'll definitely be back before noon."

Li Feng nodded: "Since you two have something to do, I won't stop you, but you must come over at noon!"

"I've already promised you something, how can I go back on my word? Don't worry!"

After saying that, Xu Ning said hello to Yang Jun and walked out of the courtyard. Li Feng and the other two saw them off to the door.

On the way to Old Xu's house, Xu Ning asked, "What are you doing on the street?"

Yang Jun adjusted his suit and said, "I came here empty-handed. Now that things are almost settled, I thought I'd go to the street and buy her and the two children some clothes."

"Hey, you are quite sensible, and you are really considerate!"

"Hahaha, isn't that what life is all about? As long as you have everything you need, then life won't be bad... unless you meet a jerk!"

Xu Ning laughed wildly upon hearing this, "Are you going by yourself? Or should I follow you?"

"You and your sister-in-law can come with me to buy clothes for the women. It's not appropriate for a grown man like me to do this."

After arriving home, Xu Ning asked Meng Ziyan to go back to the house to change clothes. Sun Lianfang also shouted that she wanted to go after hearing what happened. Xu Ning said, "Why are you still running around when Shitou is at home? If he doesn't see you when he comes back later, you should sneak back to the field again."

Sun Lianfang pursed her lips and said, "Then I won't go."

On the side, Yang Jun, Liu Lizhen and others were talking about what happened after he met Sun Cuiping. When they mentioned that they wanted to go to the street to buy clothes for Sun Cuiping and their two children, the old ladies all agreed.

Because they are all women, they naturally understand Sun Cuiping's thoughts. Regardless of how much money was spent, the thought alone was enough to move Sun Cuiping!

After Meng Ziyan changed her clothes, Yang Jun just went home to get the car. He picked up the two of them and drove towards the street along the narrow road at the west entrance of the village.

After arriving at the street, they parked the car on the side of the road of the supply and marketing cooperative, and then the three of them jumped out of the car and entered the supply and marketing cooperative.

Lao Qian was not in the supply and marketing cooperative today, but Xu Ning saw an acquaintance. The young cashier came over with a smile on her face when she saw him and asked what he needed.

Xu Ning said bluntly: "I want to buy two sets of clothes for a beauty like you. The colors should not be too bright, but something simple."

The young woman grinned and said, "Oh my god, you are such a good chatterbox! Then my sister-in-law and I will go pick out two sets. Who are you buying this for?"

Yang Jun interrupted, "Give it to my wife, sister. My wife is about the same size as you. You can try it later."

"Oh, that's scary... Well, okay! What else do you need?"

Yang Jun said: "Weigh two pounds of milk candy, and take two boxes of snacks such as glutinous rice cakes and hawthorn rolls, mainly for the children. Do you have children's clothes? A five-year-old boy should be about this tall, and a thirteen-year-old girl should be as tall as my chest..."

Meng Ziyan said: "Li Tong is not that short. She must be 1.55 meters tall. The last time I saw her, she was half a head shorter than me."

The young woman babble: "Why buy clothes for the child? It's better to buy a few feet of cloth and make them at home. It's not only economical but also strong."

Yang Jun said, "It's OK. I'd rather buy what's already there. Let my sister-in-law pick out two sets for me, and get me ten bottles of Wuliangye and ten cartons of Yingchun cigarettes."

Xu Ning frowned and turned around to ask, "Why did you buy so much wine?"

"Drink!"

When the young woman saw the big customer coming, she immediately dragged Meng Ziyan to the clothing area, while Yang Jun and Xu Ning wandered around the snack area, weighing some candies, picking up some hawthorn rolls, or packing two bags of melon seeds and peanuts.

"Erning, tell my sister-in-law to buy ten more pairs of socks. It would be better if you buy Cuiping a pair of leather shoes. If we need to get together, we won't have to buy them then."

Xu Ning rolled his eyes when he heard that. This Yang Jun was full of cunning ideas and had thought of everything in advance. But it was enough to show that Yang Jun was quite satisfied with Sun Cuiping, otherwise why would he be in a hurry to buy clothes for her.

Xu Ning went to Meng Ziyan to talk to her, and Meng Ziyan said, "There is no clothes here that Baozhu can wear. Otherwise, let Junge buy some cloth, and I will make two sets for Baozhu when I get home."

"No need to tell him, just buy it and let him pay."

Meng Ziyan wondered: "Can this be good..."

"What's wrong with that? He's here to spend money today. If you don't let him spend it comfortably, he'll regret it when he gets home!"

Then, Meng Ziyan turned around and asked the salesperson for 10 meters of cloth. After choosing clothes for Sun Cuiping and Li Tong, she picked out ten pairs of thick socks.

Yang Jun spent a lot of money on this trip to the street, a total of 138 yuan, but when Yang Jun left the supply and marketing cooperative with his bags, he was very happy.

The things I bought included cigarettes, alcohol, sugar, tea, clothes, leather shoes, socks, and two bags of snacks...

"Shall we go back now?" After throwing the things into the car, Yang Jun turned around and asked.

"What else do you want to buy?"

Yang Jun scratched his head and said, "I really can't think of it for the moment."

Xu Ning raised his arm and glanced at the watch: "Then hurry home, it's almost 11 o'clock now."

"Oh my god, it's already this late... "

After saying that, the three of them got into the car and drove towards Qing'antun.

Yang Jun was in a very good mood while driving. Xu Ning felt a little helpless standing beside him. He really didn't expect that Yang Jun would be so coquettish after his second spring!
With both hands on the steering wheel and humming "Crescent Moon Five Watches", his mind almost flew to the horizon. He wished he could get into Sun Cuiping's heart and tickle her sweetheart...Xu Ning and Meng Ziyan looked at each other and secretly held back their laughter, but they could understand Yang Jun's feelings. After all, he was one of the ugliest people in Qing'an, but he was able to find a wife after his divorce. How could he not feel happy?

During this period, Yang Jun sold a lot of wood, and Xu Ning got more than 3000 yuan. Yang Jun should have more than 1000 yuan left in his hands, after all, he had paid back a lot of hunger.

Xu Ning had told him a while ago that he should not sell any more wood after winter. If the foresters reported him, he would be in trouble! Yang Jun really did not sell any wood, but only sent two or three truckloads of wood to acquaintances.

Yang Jun had more money in his pocket, so he was naturally generous.

The car stopped in front of Old Xu's house. Yang Jun turned around and took out two bottles of Wuliangye and Yingchun cigarettes and two packs of cigarettes.

And he said: "Take all the remaining cigarettes and alcohol into the house."

"What do you mean? Did you buy it for me?" Xu Ning asked.

Yang Jun smiled and said, "What toys should I buy for you? I bought them for my uncle! Can your sister-in-law come with you later?"

Meng Ziyan shook her head: "I won't go. I will make clothes for Baozhu in the afternoon and he can wear them in the evening."

"Oh my god, so soon? Everyone says my sister-in-law is a good cook, so my son is enjoying it first."

Xu Ning said with a smile: "Before we got married, she would make me a hand muffler every winter. After we got married, I didn't even look at the insoles!"

"Hey, didn't you knit a few pairs of insoles for your parents? Besides, you didn't even wear the insoles I knitted for you a few years ago..."

"Look at you, you pout after just a few words. Come, give me a kiss."

Yang Jun quickly covered his eyes and said, "Don't do this to me, you two."

"Hahaha……"

After saying that, Yang Jun followed Xu Ning and Meng Ziyan into the yard, carrying a wine box and cigarettes.

When they entered the house, Liu Lizhen and others were rolling noodles. They saw the box Yang Jun was holding and asked, "What did you buy? Why did you bring it home?"

"I bought some wine and cigarettes for my uncle."

"You are really redundant, Jun. You owe a lot of money to others. If you don't pay it back, why would you buy cigarettes and alcohol for him? We are not outsiders."

"Aunt, I have paid off all my hunger payments, so I have some spare money now."

"You...if you marry Cuiping, you have to let her manage part of the money. Otherwise, if you spend money so recklessly, what can you save?"

"Yes, I know, Auntie. Er Ning and I will go over first. They should be waiting anxiously."

Liu Lizhen joked: "Are you anxious?"

"That's not the case! My mom was right. When I was in the car, I saw that Jun's mind was flying up to the sky."

"Haha... well, it's not easy to find a wife. It's the first time that it went so smoothly. I'm really a little too happy."

After the two returned to the car, they went straight to Li Feng's house.

As soon as we stopped in front of the door, Li Feng, Chang Lihong and Sun Cuiping came out from the house to greet us.

"The food is ready, we're just waiting for you two to come over! Why didn't you bring the kids over?"

Xu Ning said with a smile: "Why should we take the children with us at this time? Let's wait for Li Tong to give her nod and then let the two children meet each other."

"Yeah!" Yang Jun nodded heavily.

He turned around and took out the bags from the car, stared at Sun Cuiping and said, "Cuiping, I came here in a hurry this morning and didn't bring anything. I happened to be going to the street to do some work, so I bought two sets of clothes for you and the child. Take a look and see if they are precious."

Sun Cuiping was stunned upon hearing this, but Chang Lihong beside her reacted quickly and exclaimed, "Oh my god! Sister-in-law, look how much Jun loves you. He bought clothes for you and Tongtong right after they met! Li Feng and I have been married for such a long time and we haven't even seen autumn clothes..."

Li Feng looked at the things in Yang Jun's hand and said with a smile, "Brother Jun, I'm sorry to have spent so much money on these things. My sister-in-law will accept them! I'll give you a definite answer tomorrow. When it's done, you can find someone to calculate the date."

Sun Cuiping waved her hands and said, "It's too expensive, I don't want it..."

"Oh, I've already bought it. If you don't want it, just throw it into the stove and burn it." Yang Jun said very domineeringly.

Chang Lihong pulled Sun Cuiping and said, "Sister-in-law, don't be confused. What does it mean that Jun bought you clothes? It means that he really likes you. Besides, you have never worn good clothes since you came into the family. Just accept it quickly. We are a family from now on. Why are you talking about different families?"

Yang Jun nodded: "Yes, this bag is for the snacks for the kids, and the cigarettes and alcohol are for Li Feng."

Li Feng was stunned when he heard this, and immediately grinned and said, "Thank you, Brother Jun! I'll accept it. Come into the house quickly, sister-in-law, and get a basin of water for Brother Jun to wash..."

Sun Cuiping nodded and walked into the house with the things in her hand, then added some warm water to the washbasin. Chang Lihong, who was opening the bag in the east room, exclaimed again.

"Oh my god! Why is there a pair of leather shoes?"

Xu Ning smiled and said, "My brother Jun always plans ahead of time. He was afraid that Sister Cuiping would not have leather shoes to wear when they were doing it, so he bought her a pair. You can ask Sister Cuiping to try and see if they fit her feet."

"Size 36 is just right! Sister-in-law, try these shoes on and see how they look..."

Sun Cuiping smiled as she watched Yang Jun washing his hands. She lifted the door curtain and saw a pair of brand new women's leather shoes. She was so moved that she almost cried. Her lips trembled as she said, "Let's eat first, and try again later."

"Okay! Then let's go serve the food."

Li Feng approached Xu Ning and asked, "Brother Jun, did you go to the street on purpose?"

"Well, you didn't see it. When he came back, his mouth was almost upturned to the sky. He was so happy!"

Li Feng smiled and said, "Are you satisfied with my sister-in-law?"

"Do I need to ask? You have to be satisfied, otherwise how could you go out and buy clothes? My wife and I went with you, and she helped me choose. We spent a lot of money..."

"A pair of leather shoes costs just over 20 yuan, and with all these things, it must be over yuan."

At this time, Yang Jun entered the room and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter how much money is spent. The main thing is to make Cuiping happy."

"Brother Jun, my sister-in-law is so happy. She almost cried in the outer room just now."

Yang Jun said: "Why are you crying? This is a very happy thing."

Xu Ning looked at him and said, "I'm touched!"

Chang Lihong continued, "It's not that great. No one has ever been so nice to my sister-in-law. Even Li Feng and I have never bought her clothes or shoes."

Li Feng said, "I really haven't bought any. Before I followed my uncle, Brother Huang, and Uncle Jiang to sell meat, my family was in real trouble and could barely make ends meet. My father was always making trouble and ruined his reputation in the village. No one was willing to help me. Fortunately, Erning gave me a way out and I was able to recover."

Xu Ning waved his hands: "Hey, why are you talking about this..."

"I have to say what I need to say. Lihong and I wanted to invite you to our house for a meal. If it weren't for your help, my dad wouldn't even have enough money to bury him..."

"Come on, forget it. I didn't help much. Besides, you helped me build the house."
