Back in the 1980s, hiking in the mountains was also a way of life

Chapter 1070 Bringing the Oriole Home

They walked all the way like this, and Wang An took Huang Li but did not go to the cellar where Wang Li was at the moment, but went straight home.

As soon as the sidecar stopped, Huang Li jumped off and looked at Wang An's yard with curiosity.

It must be said that Wang An’s yard and the buildings in the yard are definitely top-notch in this era.

In addition, Wang An's yard was filled with track tractors, hand tractors and four-wheeled vehicles, which were uncommon in that era.

Because Wang An's house is on a hillside, and the deer shed, pigpen, sheeppen, etc. are built at the foot of the hillside.

So standing in the open space in front of the main house, you can clearly see the groups of sika deer in the deer house, the groups of wild boars in the pigpen, the groups of sheep in the sheeppen, and the few roe deer in the roe deer pen.

And if you look west from here, you can see a group of horses eating grass in the fence in front of the stable. Of course, there is also a mule and two donkeys mixed in.

Although there is an old saying that goes, "Even if you have a fortune, the furry ones don't count," the visual impact of these herds of livestock is definitely huge.

It was a fairly large yard, with a brick-and-tile house and a brick wall, plus three motorized agricultural vehicles, the sidecar that Wang An was riding, and herds of livestock.

So many things are enough to show how strong the economic strength of Wang An's family is.

Hearing the sound of the bucket, Mu Xueqing put her left hand on her waist and walked out of the house slowly.

Seeing Wang An coming back with a girl, Mu Xueqing was stunned for a moment, mainly because not long ago, Wang An brought Li Xiu Yu back in the same way.

The only difference between Huang Li and Li Xiu Yu was that Huang Li’s clothes, dry hair, and malnourished face made him look like a beggar.

Subconsciously, Mu Xueqing frowned and asked Wang An:

"Xiao An, whose girl is this?"

When Huang Li saw the "young aunt" that Wang An mentioned, he suddenly became very nervous and stopped looking around. He just stood there obediently, looking even more reserved.

Wang An heard this and said with a smile:
"Her name is Huang Li, and she is now our eldest niece. I found her specially to take care of you, hahahaha."

As he spoke, Wang An could not help laughing, mainly because this sudden increase in seniority really made Wang An feel ridiculous when he thought about it.

Wang An's words confused Mu Xueqing, and she said in disbelief:

"The eldest niece surnamed Huang? Which relative's child is this?"

Upon hearing Mu Xueqing's words, Wang An laughed even more happily.

After Wang An had laughed enough, he explained:

"Just before I returned to the mountain, Lao Wu caught two people."

Although Huang Li was right in front of him, Wang An did not hold back at all and began to tell the whole story in detail.

When Mu Xueqing heard that Huang Li was going to marry her to an old man for 300 yuan by her parents, Mu Xueqing may have felt the same way, so she took the initiative to step forward and hold Huang Li's hand.

She comforted him, "Don't worry, your uncle and I won't let you marry an old man."

It must be said that Mu Xueqing is quite chivalrous. Of course, it is also possible that it is not chivalry, but she can personally understand Huang Li's despair and helplessness about the future at that time.

After all, that was the path Mu Xueqing had taken before.

Wang An just smiled at Mu Xueqing's actions and continued talking with a smile.

After Wang An finished speaking, Mu Xueqing realized that the matter had been resolved by Wang An.

Although Wang An spent 400 yuan, Mu Xueqing seemed very happy. She smiled encouragingly at Wang An and said to him:

"Okay, leave Xiaoli to me, you go find Laowu."

Wang An agreed:
"Yes, I have to go there right away. By the way, are there any leftover steamed buns or something at home? We haven't decided on dinner yet." Mu Xueqing replied:

"At noon, my mother baked some pancakes with black beet oil. They are still warm. Why don't you take some with you into the mountains?"

Wang An laughed when he heard this:
"Oil cake? That's a good idea. Oil cake with chili sauce and some green onions. Oh my god, it can make people confused."

Unexpectedly, as soon as Wang An finished speaking, he heard his stomach growling.

Wang An and Mu Xueqing subconsciously looked for the source of the sound, and almost at the same time their eyes were fixed on the oriole.

It is obvious that the oriole is hungry!
Huangli was so ashamed by the sudden growling of her stomach that she almost pressed her head against her chest.

In fact, everyone who has ever been hungry knows that the growling of the stomach when hungry is not under any control of the person; it is the stomach that growls on its own initiative.

It’s not like Wang An had never been hungry before, and Mu Xueqing had also been hungry before, so even though the two of them discovered that it was Huang Li’s stomach that was growling, they didn’t say anything so as not to embarrass Huang Li.

I only heard Mu Xueqing say to Wang An:

"Hearing what you said, I am already hungry. There are quite a few cakes left over from Xiangwu. Please leave a few for me. Xiaoli and I will have some later."

Wang An nodded and said:

"Yeah, it's just one meal at night, I can't eat more."

As he spoke, Wang An turned and went into the house.

After Wang An finished eating the cake, he poured another pot of wine. When he came out, he heard Mu Xueqing say to Huang Li:

"I just think I can eat a lot now. Xiao An can't eat as much as I do. It's strange that I can eat so much but I'm always hungry. I have to eat several meals every day."

Wang An took the bag of cakes and didn't say anything. He rode his sidecar and went back into the mountains.

When Wang An arrived at the cellar, he found Wang Li plucking a pheasant. He never expected that Wang Li could catch a pheasant after just a stroll.

This is a male pheasant. Its head has been shattered by a bullet, leaving only half of its neck and a complete chicken body.

But I have to say that this male pheasant is quite large, weighing almost 5 kilograms.

Wang An smiled and said:

"Your shooting skills are pretty good. You smashed the chicken's head directly."

Wang Li smiled and said:

"Of course I have to. It's all because of Fourth Brother's teaching. Hehehehehe"

Wang An took the cakes and wine from his shoulder pole and said to Wang Li with a smile on his face:
"That's great. I went home to get some pancakes and a pot of wine. We can have a good drink tonight, hahahaha."

I chatted with Wang Li for a while about the oriole, and Wang Li sighed after listening.

Arranged marriages are very common in this era, but it is rare to see people marrying their daughters to old men for money.

As night fell, the entire mountain became pitch black, and the pheasant that Wang Li had killed was now cooked.

In this way, Wang An and Wang Li ate pancakes wrapped with chili sauce and took a sip of wine from time to time. They lived a very carefree life.
