Era: 1979 From mountain man to richest man

Chapter 168 Lao Baitou, Li Guodong, and Cao Wei’s night visit
Song Chaoyang also discovered at this time that his father and the others had not returned yet.

The location of the Taoist temple is relatively remote in Qingsong Bay.

There is a high probability that they are not aware of the notification from the brigade.

I glanced at the sun in the horizon and saw that it would be dark in a while. It gets dark much faster in the mountains than in other places.

As long as the sun sets in the mountain col, everything around will soon be plunged into darkness.

They definitely didn't bring any lighting tools when they went out.

If you don't come back now, you will have to walk at night when you come back.

Normally it would be nothing, but now there is still a tiger wandering around the village.

This is not something to be careless about. We need to get them back quickly.

"Okay, I'll go there with my second brother right away and ask them to come back." Song Chaoyang nodded to his mother.

After arriving at the back and meeting several groups of people, Song Chaoyang and the others didn't bother to explain. They could just say whatever they wanted.

What I learned was also the inheritance of the Feng Shui Kanyu type.

The three people were also bathed in this golden color.

The letter Song Chaoyang sent last time was the first to arrive in his hands.

So the two people walked out of the door, immediately quickened their pace, and headed towards the Po Tao Temple.

They were the only ones walking on the farm road in the village.

The older one is called Bai Nianqiu. He is over sixty this year. In the sect, he is of the same generation as Song Chaoyang, Lao Zhangtou and others.

In terms of seniority, Song Chaoyang should be called uncle.

It was my eldest sister, my grandmother, and the others, who were already busy in the kitchen and started making dinner.

"Why are you here?"

Song Chaodong didn't waste any time and briefly told his father what happened today. Song Shouyi was also shocked when he learned that there were tigers in the nearby mountains and forests.

A gust of wind blew by, and the temperature in the valley dropped rapidly.

When the two brothers arrived at the Taoist temple, they saw their father and two people at the gate of the Taoist temple.

At this time, the three people's eyes fell on the two brothers Song Chaoyang and Song Chaodong.

The middle-aged man in his forties is called Li Guodong, and he is the apprentice of Old Baitou.

Song Chaoyang took this opportunity to see clearly the two people besides his father.

"And the second brother, why are you carrying a gun?" Song Shouyi looked at his two sons and asked curiously.

The other old man was about sixty years old, nearly 1.8 meters tall, tall and thin, with an extraordinarily wide forehead. He was wearing a Tang suit, with his hands behind his back, and he looked quite leadership-like. ,
"Dad, I'm home!" the second brother said, breaking the tranquility of the scene.

Then he and his second brother, who was carrying a gun, went out together.

They simultaneously watched the setting sun in the west fall in front of the mountain col. A ray of light shone in front of the Taoist temple, dyeing it golden.

I was originally his apprentice in the design office, and I learned a lot from him, and then I just joined the profession.

On the way, I met many people returning home from work in the fields.

The huge shadows of the mountains quickly shrouded the entire valley.

On the way back, Song Shouyi introduced the two people around him to Song Chaoyang.

Even if Song Chaoyang and his two brothers said they were going home to find their father, others didn't quite believe it.

Without saying anything else, he just asked the other two people to leave quickly.

When we returned home, the sun had completely sunk into the mountain valley, leaving only a tiny bit of afterglow that dyed the sky red.

When they saw the Song family, the two brothers hurried to the mountainside, thinking that they had found a tiger. Many people asked them if they were going to hunt tigers, which made Song Chaoyang a little bit dumbfounded.

"You all have something wrong with you, do you think we can't see it?"

It was sunny before, and I felt a little hot after doing some exercise.

Now I can't feel it at all, and it's even a little cold if I sit still.

On the way back, Song Chaoyang found that there was almost no one in the field.

This kind of thing is a common dish used to entertain guests in the mountains.

Ever since Song Chaoyang led his men to hunt tigers and rescued the people in the barn that night, his first reaction when he saw him was to hunt tigers.

At this moment, there was a smell of meat coming from the kitchen at home.

However, this was not the time to talk on the road. I just briefly got to know everyone before speeding up and heading towards home.

A middle-aged man in his forties, wearing a pair of glasses, a crew cut common in this era, and wearing a white shirt, looked like he was an employee of a certain unit in the city.

When they were going out, my mother was still behind me urging them to hurry up, lest the sun would set and they wouldn't be able to see anything.

You can tell by the smell that you are making cured meat stew.

After a while it became dark all around.

Except for a few militiamen who received their guns and hurried home.

Some cured meat, plus radish, and some mountain delicacies.

You don’t even need to add salt, it’s just a very delicious stew.

If you add pot stickers and a pot of wine, it will be a very high-end reception for the whole family to gather together.

Ordinary people's homes would not have such high standards.

Being able to make a bowl of noodles and make an egg is already pretty good.

But after all, the Song family's economic conditions are here.

In addition, the team sent a lot of beef and donkey meat the day before yesterday. If you want to eat meat, there is no shortage. Besides, there is still a lot of bacon bought from the hunters at home.

When it's time to cook, the Song family's kitchen smells delicious, full of meat.

Song Chaoyang had been busy all day, but he had no intention of showing off his skills in the kitchen again. As long as his family didn't ask him to help, he was still willing to be lazy.

The newly arrived Lao Baitou and his father were still chatting about the reconstruction of the Taoist temple, while Li Guodong found Song Chaoyang and asked about the tigers in the village.

It can be seen that he is more interested in tigers.

His eyes sparkled with curiosity. He looked like someone who grew up in the city and had never seen a tiger. He was extremely curious about this beast that only existed in books.

Song Chaoyang briefly told him about the tiger coming to the village before. He was stunned for a while, and then he immediately curiously went to find Professor Qian and his wife to inquire about it.

Would like to know some finer details.

If Song Chaoyang hadn't known about his workplace, he might have thought he was a reporter from above.

He doesn't look like a man in his 40s at all. Regarding this matter, he has the persistence to break the casserole and get to the bottom of it.

After asking about what happened to Professor Qian that night, he immediately found Song Chaoyang again and wanted to ask how they killed the tiger.

Song Chaoyang kept his head on an adult's body, feeling the same sense of immediacy as his nephew Gouwazi.

Song Chaoyang simply called Gouwazi over and asked him to tell Li Guodong a story.

Gou Wazi was a familiar person and was not afraid at all. He immediately told Li Guodong about the glorious deeds of his third uncle.

Needless to say, children have pretty good memories.

He still remembered Song Chaoyang's original events clearly, almost word for word. He described the events to Li Guodong again, listening to Li Guodong's blood boiling.

Then he approached the second brother who had a gun and said that he wanted to stay on duty with the second brother tonight. He could even drive the second brother around the village in his car.

When I spotted the tiger, I drove straight after him.

After the second brother politely rejected his request, he went to Song Chaoyang and complained:

"There's something wrong with the guy from this city. He thinks tigers are easy to deal with."

"You drive around the village looking for tigers. Isn't there something wrong with your brain?"

Song Chaoyang smiled, and he was a little speechless. He was such a big man, but he felt like a child. But this forest is so big that there are all kinds of birds. Just like on the Internet in the future, there will definitely be no shortage of people with this kind of death-seeking gene.

At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door outside the Song family's yard.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

At the same time, a flashlight flashed through the crack in the door.

There are only a few people who can use flashlights in the village these days. Song Chaoyang guessed that they must be acquaintances.

"Who is it?" Song Chaoyang asked loudly.

"I, Cao Wei." Cao Wei's voice came from outside the door.

Hearing Cao Wei's voice, Song Chaoyang quickly came to the door with a flashlight and opened the door.

After opening the door, the first thing that rushed in was the puppy raised by Cao Wei.

After entering the door, he immediately got into a fight with the puppy that Song Chaoyang was raising.

Song Chaoyang saw that Cao Wei actually had a big fish in her hand and quickly asked her to come into the house.

"When did you come back?" Cao Wei asked Song Chaoyang.

"I came back in the afternoon." Song Chaoyang answered and asked Cao Wei:

"You're still running around after dark, aren't you afraid of danger?"

"What danger?" Cao Wei was a little confused.

Song Chaoyang said to her:

"Don't you know that the brigade is notifying you? There are traces of tigers found on the mountainside."

Cao Wei was also shocked when she heard the news and said quickly:
"I just came back from the Liziqiao brigade next door, and I don't know what's going on here."

"When I came back, my classmate gave me a fish. I thought that I couldn't eat such a big fish by myself, so I sent it to your family."

Song Chaoyang took the big fish in his hand and said to Cao Wei:

"We'll have dinner at our house tonight."

"You might as well not go back then. I'll arrange a spare room for you to sleep in."

"The place where you live is close to a hillside, and it's not safe over there."

After hearing Song Chaoyang's words, Cao Wei nodded directly and agreed:

"Okay, it's up to you."

Then Song Chaoyang directly carried the fish into the kitchen and said to the old lady who was cooking:

"Mom, Cao Wei is here, let me add some dishes."

Seeing Cao Wei entering the house with Song Chaoyang, I was also a little surprised.

It's already dark, but this girl still comes here to deliver fish. Isn't she too brave?

Grandma, who was lighting the fire, also called to Cao Wei and asked her to come over and warm herself up by the fire.

The wind was blowing outside at the moment, and the temperature had dropped. Cao Wei, who was wearing a thin shirt, was obviously still a little bit cold.

He went to the old lady to warm himself up for a while before his face returned to its normal rosy color.

However, Song Chaoyang had no influence and was already handling the fish that Cao Wei got.

Song Chaoyang didn't intend to make it complicated. He just planned to braise the fish.

That is the common household Tuo Tuo fish.

Cut the fish into pieces in a few times, then marinate, add oil, and stir-fry.

Without much effort, a big pot of home-cooked fish is ready.

After putting it in the pot and simmering it over low heat, Song Chaoyang began to help his mother and eldest sister prepare other dishes.

With Song Chaoyang joining, the cooking progress has been accelerated a lot.

In a short while, I prepared several simple stir-fries and cold dishes.

They are all with mountain characteristics.

On the other side, the pot of mountain delicacies soup that my mother made is also ready.

Use a spatula to scoop up all the pot stickers, put them in a big bowl, and then start serving.

This was a staple tonight.

There is also a pot of white rice, which was specially made for Lao Baitou and Li Guodong because they were afraid that they would not be used to the mountain people's pot stickers.

My mother is always very attentive when it comes to hospitality.

I'm afraid that if the reception is not good, the guests will not be used to eating.

Today there are two big pots of delicacies soup pot and braised fish.

Together with other stir-fried and cold dishes, a table in the main hall of the Song family was filled to the brim.

As today's guests, Lao Baitou and Li Guodong can clearly feel that the Song family attaches great importance to them. I'm sorry to say that they came in such a hurry and didn't bring any gifts. Instead, they were received so warmly by the Song family.

Before eating, Song Shouyi introduced the people sitting there to Lao Baitou.

In addition to the Song family, there are also Professor Qian, his wife and Cao Wei.

Old Baitou was also a little surprised to hear that Professor Qian and the others had not returned to the city yet.

He took the initiative to say that when he returned to the provincial capital, he could help inquire about the relevant departments. As far as he knew, the policy had been implemented, and only a few people did not return to the city.

Those who have not returned either have no relatives or work units in their original cities, or they are willing to stay there.

Apart from this, there is no third possibility.

After he knew that Professor Qian and his wife did not fall into any of the above categories, he immediately realized that something was wrong.

It can be seen that this is a relatively warm-hearted old man.

Professor Qian thanked him hurriedly and said that he had asked his friends to help him move around, and he should be able to return to the city soon.

After hearing the news, the old man was satisfied.

Then Song Shouyi greeted everyone to use chopsticks and chatted while eating.

Everyone, whose stomachs had long been growling due to the aroma of the food on the dinner table, finally started to use their chopsticks.

Lao Baitou and Li Guodong didn't have high expectations for the food, but they didn't expect that the food cooked by the Song family actually surprised them.

Old Baitou also wanted to talk about the family's quarrels and ask the sons and daughters of the Song family what they were doing, but he couldn't stop eating as soon as he started eating.

I completely forgot what I wanted to talk about.

He took the chopsticks and started to deal with the food on the table, nodding his head while eating, and his mouth was full of oil.

It wasn't until he had almost eaten that he came back to his senses.

He praised the food on the table repeatedly.

He said it was one of the most delicious meals he has had over the years.

Then he boldly guessed that there must be a restaurant chef cooking tonight.

As soon as he said this, everyone laughed.

But at this moment, a sharp whistle suddenly came from outside.

Everyone present was shocked.

The second brother who was eating dropped the bowls and chopsticks in his hands and stood up. He didn't even have time to wipe the oil from the corners of his mouth and said with a vigilant look:

"Someone spotted the tiger!"
