Return to 1983 Hunting Xing'an Mountains

Chapter 701 Friendship and Family Are in the Newspaper and Money Is Divided Again
Although there are many entertainment venues in the city and life is richer than in the mountains, Xu Ning is already tired of it. He sat on a bench in the living room on the first floor for two hours. During this time, he did not look at the TV, nor did he listen to the conversation outside the window. He just felt a little bored.

After finally making it to noon, Xu Ning, Li Fuqiang and Wang Hu drove to the repair shop. When they saw Lao Jin, they heard him say, "There's nothing wrong with it. The noise is caused by loose screws in the car. The car is in good condition. It should be enough to drive for another five years!"

The car that Chen Hedong sent was certainly not about to be scrapped. It had served in the army before, and the car team would repair and maintain it every now and then. They were more careful than ordinary families who maintained a car.

Hearing that the car was in good condition, Xu Ning asked Lao Jin to pack up quickly, then closed the repair shop and hung up a sign saying "Take a half-day break and come back tomorrow if you have anything else."

Then, everyone got into two cars. Wang Hu drove straight to Old Sun's house to pick up Sun Liansheng, and Xu Ning drove to the Education Bureau and saw Hu Zhibin at the door.

After not seeing him for many days, Hu Zhibin looked radiant and his whole temperament changed suddenly. He stood there like a leader.

But seeing Xu Ning, he was quite friendly and raised his hand to say, "Er Ning! Get out of the car first and help me carry some things."

Xu Ning, Li Fuqiang, Lao Jin, Wang Biao and others jumped out of the car and walked into the guard room, where they saw a lot of rice, flour, oil and meat on the ground...

Hu Zhibin explained: "These are all distributed by the company for the holidays. You can take this pile home, and the rest can be sent to my house."

"Okay, you won't be back to the village in a short time?"

"We can only go back next month. It's almost New Year's Day, and all the schools are preparing to hold parties. We have to go down and do an inspection and research."

"Ah, get in the car first. The hotel rooms have been booked. There are no outsiders here today, only our family."

"My family is good, I can talk about anything, but I have to hold back when drinking and talking with others... Is your brother coming over?"

"Come here, he also brought a few friends, Xiao Du and Yan He who came before my wedding. He has the best relationship with these two friends in the city."

“Two friends are enough!”

After moving rice, flour, oil, meat, eggs and other things into the back of the car, everyone got in and drove towards the Yanbin Hotel.

The manager had met Xu Ning twice before and knew that he had been drinking with a well-known man in the city yesterday, so he led him into the box in a very polite manner.

"Brother Bin, these are my friends Xiao Du and Xiao He."

When Xu Long saw Hu Zhibin enter the room, he stood up and introduced him.

Hu Zhibin smiled and said, "I know! We have met before and even had a drink together before."

Xiao Du grinned and said, "That's not a big deal, Brother Bin, please sit down!"

"Hey, how can I sit here? Otherwise, let Erning sit here."

Xu Ning looked at the main seat and waved his hands: "I'm young, Brother Bin, please don't bully me..."

Hu Zhibin said in a very nice way: "Hey, we are all brothers, what's the difference between age and age? If it weren't for you, would we be able to get together?"

"Hahaha, I'll sit down then. Don't argue with me if you get drunk later."

"What are you arguing about? It's just my true nature to be impatient!"

Xu Long smiled and said, "I'll go out and take a look. Brother Bao should be here soon."

Xiao Du pointed at Wang Biao and said, "Okay, Biao, go tell the manager to ask the kitchen staff to serve the food."

"Got it."

Xu Ning sat in the main seat, Hu Zhibin and Xiao Du sat on both sides respectively. On the table were Fengcheng Laojiao, bowls, chopsticks, plates and wine glasses.

Everyone was chatting about their own topics. Xu Ning took this opportunity to say to Hu Zhibin next to him: "Brother Bin, there is something..."

"What's the matter? Tell me."

"Didn't Yang Dong get killed by a tiger? Zhou Dayong from the Red Star Police Station on the street came to me. He wanted to talk to you about transferring the child to a city school. I didn't dare to agree directly, so I said you were very busy and didn't seem to be in charge of this matter."

"Zhou Dayong? I've seen him twice. When you were a kid and got into trouble outside, wasn't he the one who rode his sidecar to take you home?"

"Yeah! Otherwise why would I tell you this? He really has no problem with me, and he has a brother named Zhou He who works at the street clinic..."

"Ah, the one who treated Zhiyong! I know. Okay... I'll call him directly later. You don't have to worry about it."

"Okay then, I won't be polite anymore, Brother Bin."

"Don't be polite. The city is planning to build a new school right now, one that will serve both primary and junior high school. It seems the higher-ups are trying to do an experiment. They haven't decided what it means yet, but they definitely need students."

"Very good. I was thinking of making things difficult for you."

"It's not that serious... What happened to Yang Dong when he was killed by a tiger?"

"What else can I say? I'm just going to the county to pick up some stuff and go for a walk..."

A moment later, Xu Long and Zhang Jinbao entered the room, just as the waiter was carrying a tray with dishes.

A group of people were sitting in a private room and chatting happily. After all the dishes were served, Xu Ning unscrewed the wine bottle and poured wine for everyone one by one. Although he was sitting in the host seat, he still had to be humble and not be too arrogant when dealing with his buddies.

Since everyone was just trying to keep in touch, no one was cheating. As the saying goes, a person's character can be seen in his drinking behavior. None of them got drunk and acted crazy. They all sincerely advised the other party not to drink.

The drink was not finished until after 7 o'clock, but no one was in a hurry to leave. They sat in the box, picked up their bowls and ate a few mouthfuls of rice. They only prepared to go home after they were sober.

Since Wang Biao, Liu Tianen and Huang Lin had not drunk alcohol, the burden of sending everyone home fell on them. Now the three of them could drive, but their driving skills needed more practice. After sending everyone home, the three of them returned to the house in the backyard of the repair shop one after another.

The next day, Xu Ning woke up at around 6 o'clock in the morning.

"Hurry up and wash your face and eat. Go to the farmer's market to get some vegetables. I have to go to a meeting with my uncle."

"Okay, tell me the address. All the vegetables are sold now, okay?"

"Well, the money has been paid, and you can just load the car when you get there."

"Then we'll go straight home after we get the food."

At this time, Xu Feng rushed in anxiously, crossed his arms and shouted, "No! Second brother, you can leave tomorrow."

"What?"

"We have a holiday tomorrow, so it's a good opportunity for me to go home with you."

Xu Long frowned and said, "Aren't you going to hold a party?"

Xu Feng babble, "I'm not going, big brother. Can you ask my class teacher for leave and say that something happened at home? The party is boring. The songs they sing are worse than Dad's, and the dances they do are not as good as the Yangko dances on the street."

Xu Long waved his hand: "Why don't you fit in?"

"Oh, is this unsociable? I don't like looking at them. Besides, I miss my parents and sister-in-law. Why don't you let me go home and look at them?"

Xu Feng's moral blackmail completely left Xu Long speechless. He could only nod and say, "I'll tell your teacher later."

"Okay, thank you, brother. You are so nice..."

"Don't waste time, just eat."

Yang Yusheng put down the newspaper and said, "Your tiger hunting story has been reported in the newspaper."

"Why is it so fast?" Xu Ning asked in surprise.

“Special matters are handled specially.”

The article took up one eighth of the entire newspaper, with the title "There is a vicious tiger in a certain place that harms people, and our city's youth are helping the people get rid of it!" The content detailed the process of Xu Ning's killing, and briefly mentioned Lao Zheng and Lao Li.

Why only two sentences? Because they don't need to show their faces in the newspaper, they only need to show their faces within the system. "Uncle San, I still have a lot of tiger blood wine left at home. Can you give some to Uncle Wan and Uncle Liu when you have time?"

Yang Yusheng smiled and said, "Okay! I'll bring some when I have time. They are not in good health. Don't be fooled by their glorious appearance. When they are working on a case, they stay up all day and all night, so their bodies have been exhausted for a long time."

After Xu Long, Yang Yusheng and the three children left, Xu Ning, Li Fuqiang and Wang Hu went to the farmer's market and found a wholesale vegetable and meat shop according to the address Xu Long left. The vegetables were all picked from the greenhouse, and the meat was slaughtered this morning...

At noon, they filled their stomachs at a restaurant outside. As soon as they returned to the family building, they heard the old man at the door downstairs knocking on the window and saying, "There's a phone call for Xu Ning!"

"Eh!"

Xu Ning rushed out the door and went to the concierge to answer the phone. Then he heard Xu Long say, "The specimen museum sent a letter asking you to go and get the money."

"Didn't they say we have to wait three to five days? It's only been two days."

"Director Wang is quick at work. Go quickly. Have you picked up the vegetables at the farmers' market?"

"After I took them, I put them all in the room and covered them with a torn quilt. They shouldn't go bad if I leave them overnight."

"Well, go to the mall and buy some snacks or something."

"know."

After saying that, he hung up the phone.

When we arrived at the specimen museum, Director Wang and Accountant Liu were playing chess, their daily life was quite leisurely.

After seeing Xu Ning, Accountant Liu pointed to the black leather bag on the table and said, "They are all here. Count them first."

Xu Ning didn't beat around the bush and counted out the 30492 yuan in front of the two of them.

"Just in time! How did the money come down so quickly? Did Uncle Wang put in a lot of effort?"

Director Wang smiled and said, "What can I do? The main thing is that the higher-ups are quite satisfied with this matter. They approved it right after I submitted it."

Xu Ning chatted with the two men in the house for a while, then left with Li Fuqiang and Wang Hu taking the money.

They first put the money under the bed in the family building, and then went to the mall to buy things. They bought all snacks, mainly for Wang Shujuan and Meng Ziyan.

The next day, Xu Ning drove Xu Feng, Jin Yumantang, Wang Hu and Li Fuqiang, with the trunk loaded with rice, flour, oil, eggs, vegetables, fresh meat and other things, back to Qing'antun at full speed.

It is around 11:40 in the afternoon.

As soon as the car came to a complete stop, Xu Feng jumped out, stepped over the threshold and shouted, "Mom! Mom!"

Liu Lizhen pushed open the door with a long-handled ladle in hand, put one foot on the platform and one foot in the plastic shed, pinched her waist and said, "Why are you shouting? My heart is trembling when you come back!"

"Oh, Mom, I miss you so much."

Xu Feng ran up to Liu Lizhen, hugged her around the waist, and said with bared teeth: "What are you cooking?"

"Whatever you want to do, why are you back?"

"Isn't it the holiday now? I haven't seen you for such a long time, don't you miss me?"

"I don't want to think about you. Oh, stop it. Just let go. You're annoying as soon as you get home."

Although Liu Lizhen said this, she was actually very happy in her heart.

Xu Feng is really annoying sometimes, but if she really has the nerve to make those dirty noises, most people can't stand it.

Jin Yumantang was more reserved and ran to Yang Shuhua to rub against her. At this time, Xu Ning and others had already unloaded the things into the plastic shed.

Xu Ning pointed at a pile of things and said, "This rice, flour, oil, and eggs are distributed by my brother Bin's company. Give us a bunch. This pile is the vegetables and meat that my uncle Jiang will use for his wedding..."

Liu Lizhen said: "Why don't you just send me to your uncle Jiang's house?"

"I still have to go to Taiping. There's a bunch of rice, flour, oil and other things in the car that I need to deliver to Uncle Hu. Let Lianfang and Feng'er ride their donkeys to deliver them to Uncle Jiang."

"Leave this job to me! Brother, are these snacks for my sister-in-law?"

"I bought them all for you. Eat them if you want, and buy more after you're done."

After that, Xu Ning, Li Fuqiang and Wang Hu went to Taipingtun again. After delivering the things to Lao Hu, they did not leave in a hurry. They chatted with him for a while in the house.

Why didn't they stay for dinner? Because Lao Hu had finished eating long ago. When he didn't work, he would drink two bowls of porridge in the morning, so he had lunch early. Unlike Lao Xu's family, they had endless work every day and worked too hard, so they were naturally hungry.

When Xu Ning returned home, he saw Liu Lizhen and the others with strange expressions. His mother came over and whispered with a sly look in her eyes, "My dear, why is there so much money in that black leather bag?"

"The money for the specimens! It's not much in total, only 30492..."

"Oh my god! It's not even that much money, how can you be so pretentious? You're just like your dad."

"Haha... they are all here, so you can divide them now."

Liu Lizhen nodded and asked, "Do the two people your uncle brought here have shares?"

"No, they came here specifically to hunt tigers. They have no interest in money."

"Even better at pretending...how do we tell them apart?"

"I have two shares, and my brother, my eldest brother, my uncle, Hu Zi, and Shi Tou each have one share."

Liu Lizhen turned around and said, "Cigarette, hurry up and tear off a piece of paper to calculate..."

Xu Feng suddenly raised her hand: "Mom! I can do the math. I'm really good at mental arithmetic. 30492 divided by 7 equals 4356. One share is 4356, and two shares are 8712!"

"Oh my god, Feng'er has made progress. This guy is amazing. He can do mental arithmetic so fast?"

Xu Feng chuckled and said, "Uncle, I can learn the little tricks our math teacher taught me in no time."

"awesome!"

Meng Ziyan just finished her calculation and nodded to the somewhat suspicious Liu Lizhen: "Mom, Feng'er is right."

Liu Lizhen then turned around and touched Xu Feng's shoulder, saying with a smile: "Your second brother was right to let you go to the city to study. You are doing well in school. Keep working hard. I will buy you new clothes by the end of the year."

"Okay, thank you, Mom. My mom is so nice..."

The old ladies in the room all smiled without showing their teeth. They had become numb to the idea of ​​dividing money. Although the money this time was more than before, it still failed to arouse their inner excitement, only panic.

Now, almost every family of theirs has become a millionaire, and with so much money in their hands, they have no idea how to spend it.

If you keep it at home, you're afraid of thieves stealing it. If you put it in your arms, you're afraid of being robbed. It's really difficult to deal with!
"Hurry up and put it in your hip pocket..."

Yang Shuhua said, "Aunt, this thick stack of stuff can't even fit in a hip pocket. I'll throw it on the kang first and take it out later."

"I threw it on the kang too. Hey, Erning, can you find a place to save so much money? It doesn't seem safe to keep it at home."

Xu Ning said with a smile: "It's not safe to keep it anywhere except in your own hands. Uncle, how about you put the money in a credit union?"

"I don't want to save it. It's better to keep it in my own hands."

"Well, it's better to lose it in your own hands than to lose it somewhere else!"

Liu Lizhen said, "As long as you don't tell anyone outside, no one knows where you hid the money. Don't be afraid! Let's eat quickly. It's already 12:."
