Return to 1983 Hunting Xing'an Mountains

Chapter 66: Go up the mountain to get whatever you want to eat and deliver the meat
  Today is Saturday.

Xu Feng did not stay at home during the holidays, but went to Li Fuqiang's house to study with Jin Yumantang.

Wang Biao and Liu Tianen next door didn't know where they were going to play. They were nowhere to be found all day anyway.

Han Fengjiao was too lazy to care about Wang Biao. This kid was focused on writing all day long, so he must have been creating something in some nook and cranny.

Because Wang Biao was embarrassed to have his family look at what he wrote, not because there was anything wrong with the writing, but because he felt an unspeakable sense of shame.

Xu Ning went into the room to chat with Meng Yinhe and found out that he would stop studying after the next semester and planned to learn carpentry from his father.

This is a development. In his previous life, Meng Yinhe's craftsmanship was pretty good and he could more than support his family.

But when he was learning carpentry work, he was beaten frequently. Meng Laizi really hit his hands with lumps from a broom. The beatings were so heartbreaking that no matter how he yelled, it was useless.

In his last life, Meng Yinhe told Xu Ning that his father had taught him how to do it, otherwise he would not be able to drink the northwest wind in this life?
  About ten minutes later, there was movement outside the courtyard gate.

Li Fuqiang opened the courtyard door and called his brother at the top of his lungs.

Xu Ning heard the sound and ran out, followed by Meng Yinhe.

First, he asked Meng Yinhe to call someone, and then asked Yu Kaihe to come into the house and take a drink of water.

"No, please unload it quickly. I can go back after unloading it."

Xu Ning smiled and said: "Is that possible? I have to trouble you."

Yu Kaihe was stunned, "Gaha?"

"My family can't eat these old pigs, so just give them away. You can take back half a fan later..."

"Hey, no need! As long as we both stutter, we can't eat half a fan."

"If you can't eat it, leave it outside to freeze. Let's save it for the New Year celebrations. My aunt can't come by then."

When Yu Kaihe thought that was the case, he nodded and said: "If you say that, I won't follow your heresy. Hey, Er Ning, I also have something to do..."

He stopped before he finished speaking because he saw Liu Lizhen and three others pouring out of the main room.

When they saw the pigs, they slapped their legs and exclaimed.

"Are you really going to mess with these old pigs?"

"Oh my god, how long will it take to eat this?"

They rushed to the donkey sledge in two or two steps. Liu Lizhen looked at Yu Kaihe and was about to drag him into the house to rest.

"Come in and take a rest. It's so troublesome to pull these old pigs. Come in and have a drink of water, brother."

Yu Kaihe said: "What's the trouble? It's not worth it. I won't go into the house now. I'll have other things to do after Er Ning finishes unloading the pigs."

"Anything else?"

Xu Ning turned around and said, "Ah, we can't eat these old pigs. Let's all eat together. I'll give it to them later."

Liu Lizhen was not one to pick and choose, so she nodded after hearing this: "Okay! Divide them all evenly and eat them. If our family is short of meat, you can go up the mountain to hunt."

"Hahaha, what else are you talking about? Auntie, tell my brother what you want to eat. After you tell me the day before, my brother will prepare it for you the next day."

"Brother, do you think I am a mountain god? Do whatever you want to do."

Wang Hu said with a smile: "Nothing wrong! My second brother's handle is not meant for pinching."

"Ha ha……"

Everyone laughed.

Although they chatted and chatted, their work did not stop.

Meng Yinhe wanted to help, but Xu Ning sent him away and asked him to go to the woodshed to get the axe.

After they unloaded all the wild boars on the ground and lined them up, Meng Yinhe came back with an axe.

"Sister, you go back to the house. It's so cold outside. Er Ning and I will unload the pigs."

Liu Lizhen took a look and said, "Okay, there's firewood burning in the house. Brother, I won't chat with you anymore."

"Come inside."

Han Fengjiao and Yang Shuhua also said hello and followed Liu Lizhen back to the house.

Yu Kaihe took the ax from Meng Yinhe's hand, looked at Xu Ning and asked, "How do I unload it?"

"It's convenient, just chop it in half."

"Chop it in half?"

"Don't chop the eggs when you dig them up. Just let them go to the village and let Du Shoucai distribute them to needy households."

"Hey, you kid has a very kind heart."

"Then what else is there to say about my brother? He is very clever." Li Fuqiang said.

"Yeah, ever since my second brother stepped back from the brink, he has thought everything through and no one can find fault with him."

They were busy unloading the pigs and chatting while Meng Yinhe stood aside to help.

Yu Kaihe took an ax and chopped the pig's spine, split the old sow in half, and then he and Meng Yinhe lifted it onto the sledge, waiting to be sent away later.

Li Fuqiang and Wang Hu team up to unload a pig.

Xu Ning, on the other hand, quickly cut the two pieces of yellow hair into pieces, and then brought the meat into the house, asking his mother to serve it quickly.

It's already past four o'clock at this time. If we don't focus on cooking meat, when will we be able to eat?

When Xu Ning came out of the house, he saw Yu Kaihe turning the donkey around.

The head of the sledge was pulled to dig out the eggs and the meat of four old sows.

Meng Yinhe also entered the house, took out his clothes, and stood at the door waiting.

Xu Ning looked at Li Fuqiang who had just finished unloading an old sow, pointed at the remaining old sow and said, "You two split this one, so as not to cut it into small pieces to take home."

"Eh."

Li Fuqiang responded.

Then Xu Ning, Yu Kaihe, and Meng Yinhe drove the donkey cart towards the Tunbu.

The Qing'an Tun headquarters is located in front of Du Shoucai's house, with a separate small courtyard.

Driving a donkey cart is indeed faster than driving a dog. It didn't take much time for the three of them to reach the village.

"uncle?"

Xu Ning opened the door and saw Du Shoucai sitting and smoking in the Tunbu room.

He is six or seven years older than Xu Chunlin, and his son is Du Manzhi, Li Fuqiang's childhood playmate.

Du Shoucai looked out when he heard the sound and was a little surprised to see it was him.

"Er Ning, why are you here?" This means that you are not welcome.

Because of Xu Ning's notoriety, Qing'an Village became very famous within a radius of 100 miles.

As the brigade secretary of Qingantun, Du Shoucai naturally couldn't wait to see Xu Ning.

But he got along well with Xu Chunlin and Wang Erli. After all, they had worked side by side in the production team.

"Ah, what about that? I'm laying a nest of wild boars on the mountain, and I'm thinking of giving you some."

"You...give it to me?"

"Well, uncle, why do you still remember my little Qianzi tugging on your beard?"

Du Shoucai grinned when he heard this and said, "That's not good. I've had a beard for several years, and you pulled it all off for me. It made my chin bloody."

Xu Ning mentioned this on purpose, just to build a relationship with him.

"Ha ha……"

Xu Ning said with a smile: "Uncle, let me get you half a pig. The eggs from the other end are not very tasty. Then you can give them to the needy households in our village."

Xu Ning didn't want the favor of giving shaved eggs and meat to needy households.

Then he would use the road to give it to Du Shoucai. He was the secretary of the brigade and needed this kind of favor.

"...Hey, you kid, why are you different from usual now? Lao Yu, what do you think?"

Yu Kaihe said with a smile: "I think they are pretty much the same, except that he is not as playful as usual. This child is not bad in nature and has a good heart."

"Yes, I haven't heard in the past two days that he went to make money, and he was lying on the mountain to cheat the blind man. I heard that the Chang brothers stole from you and cheated the blind man?"

"Yeah, let me block the door and scold you."

Du Shoucai nodded: "It's true that these two brothers are shameless, but they live in the village, so they have to be spared and spared, right?"

Xu Ning didn't fight him, but now that Du Shoucai had a problem with him, there was nothing wrong with him.

Who would have thought that because of him alone, Qing'an was not rated as advanced for two years.

"Uncle, where can I put the pigs?"

Du Shoucai pointed to the open space in the courtyard, "Just put it there. How many pigs can you put on the mountain and hunt?"

"Seven pigs. There were eight pigs in that litter. One old sow got away, and the rest were all killed."

Du Shoucai was a little surprised, "You're so pissy? Your handle is almost as good as Taiping's Xu Pao, right?"

"Haha, it's worse than Xu Pao's. I led the green wolf from Xu Pao's family and the black wolf from Uncle Chang's family up the mountain together. The dogs held down the two pigs, and I used my gun to kill them both..."

Hearing this, Du Shoucai was even more surprised.

That Qinglang is Xu Pao's treasure, can he lend it to Xu Ning?

And Chang Danian is also an acidic person who has trouble getting along with everyone in the countryside. He gets along quite well with Xu Ning?
  Thinking of this, he looked at Xu Ning with different eyes.

"Qing'an is the leader of those two dogs, and his reputation is no less famous than yours."

Xu Ning said with a smile: "Isn't this good? A good dog deserves a bad reputation."

"Hahaha..." Du Shoucai laughed when he heard this.

Xu Ning and Meng Yinhe unloaded the eggs and half of the old sow into the open space in the courtyard.

Then he clapped his hands and whispered to Du Shoucai, then waved and walked out the door.

Du Shoucai followed him to the door.

He told him: "Er Ning, now that you have learned well, live a peaceful life, but don't be like before. If you have anything to do, just come to see me, and I will do whatever I can for you."

"Hey, don't worry, uncle, I won't be able to trouble you in the future. Let's go first, we still have to send a few people away."

Du Shoucai put his hands behind his back and nodded: "Go ahead."

When Xu Ning walked more than ten meters away, he turned around and entered the house.

When he reached the threshold, he muttered: "It feels a little different. They are talking and acting like two people as usual."

……

After leaving the village, Xu Ning and the other two headed towards Lao Meng's house.

His home is not far from the village, just forty or fifty meters ahead.

Meng Yinhe followed Xu Ning, looking at the clothes in his hands a little absent-mindedly.

First, he was afraid that his parents would criticize him because of his clothes, and second, Xu Ning suddenly came to deliver pork, which reminded him of other people giving betrothal gifts when getting married.

Third, if his sister sees Xu Ning, she will definitely jump up and down with joy.

Because Meng Ziyan and Xu Ning rarely see each other, if they happen to be able to see each other face to face, they will have to wait until the Chinese New Year.

When they reached the door, Meng Yinhe took the lead and shouted, "Mom, Dad, my second brother is here!"

In the house, Meng Laizi was making dumplings stuffed with cabbage oil with his wife and daughter. Hearing the shouts, he looked out the window.

Seeing Xu Ning standing at the door, Meng Laizi and his wife's first reaction was, why is he here?
  Because Xu Ning looked down on Meng Ziyan's relationship, except for visiting his parents during the New Year, he would not appear within a hundred meters of Lao Meng's house.

This is indeed somewhat abnormal.

However, Meng Ziyan got so excited that she almost kicked the dumplings on the curtain to the ground.

"Hey, my dear, please be more careful!" Liu Fenfang said through gritted teeth.

Meng Ziyan shrank her neck and said, "I'm not a pure person."

Meng Laizi stood up and walked outside, "Where is Gaha in a daze? Hurry up, there must be something wrong when Er Ning comes."

"what."

Liu Fenfang hurriedly put on her shoes and walked out of the house quickly.

Meng Ziyan looked at the window and saw Meng Yinhe gesturing to her, and she felt happy immediately.

Then he hurriedly walked out of the house and chased after Liu Fenfang.

Meng Zizi opened the door and came outside the courtyard. After seeing Yu Kaihe and Xu Ning, he greeted Yu Kaihe first.

"Brother Yu, come into the house quickly. Don't stand at the door. Er Ning, you are the same. How can you come from a different family and become an outsider? This is a joke."

Yu Kaihe grinned and said nothing in reply.

Liu Fenfang came out and said, "Come in and warm yourself up."

　10,000-word update, my tired old donkey’s eyes are dizzy and my legs are numb. I wrote from breakfast until early in the morning. Two-finger typing is really slow. Don't think it's too little, everyone, it's really the old donkey's limit. I beg you to read it again. It has just been released and it is very important to read it. Thank you!
