Xing'an Mountains 1984: Starting from climbing mountains to support the family

Chapter 130 Second sister, be gentle! Si Ni will never dare to do that again.
After the murderous old leopard was dealt with, people not only in Lijiatun but also in several nearby villages felt much more at ease.

Then Chen Weidong did not go into the mountains. Instead, after resting for two days, he planned to go to Hajiang City to sell the bear gall, bear skin and other valuable items from the bear.

So at two or three o'clock in the afternoon, Chen Weidong cut a pound of bear meat from his home and went to find the village chief Wang Guofu to ask him for help in getting a letter of introduction.

You know, it's very troublesome to travel far these days, not only because of the inconvenience of transportation,

Moreover, you need a letter of introduction to go out. Without it, you can't take a single step.

A letter of introduction is equivalent to a temporary ID card in later generations. Without a letter of introduction, you cannot take a bus or stay in a guesthouse.

Moreover, the letter of introduction also has a time limit. In the past, the educated youth in the village would write a letter of introduction two days in advance whenever they wanted to go back to visit their relatives.

Try to reserve a few more days in case there is not enough time to travel back and forth and the letter of introduction becomes invalid.

These days, whether you are going from the city to the countryside or from the countryside to the city,
No matter you are a leading cadre or a civilian, as long as you go out, you need a letter of introduction to prove your identity.

Moreover, in the past, letters of introduction were not something that could be obtained casually. There were three main types of letters of introduction. The first type was a personal identity letter of introduction, which was used for personal or organizational business trips.

You need to go to your unit one day in advance and contact the relevant secretary to issue it.

The number of days the business trip is expected to be open will be limited to a few days. Generally speaking, in order to avoid the delay in traveling and the loss of timeliness of the introduction letter, the office will be open for a few more days.

The second type is the marriage registration letter of introduction. Generally, young men and women who want to get married when they reach the age can bring their household register and marriage registration letter of introduction to the civil affairs department to go through the marriage procedures and receive a marriage certificate.

In this era, there is no marriage registration letter of introduction, only the household registration book, and you cannot go through the marriage procedures.

This has nothing to do with Chen Weidong. For a third-generation poor peasant like Chen Weidong, under normal circumstances, there is no chance to apply for anything other than a marriage introduction letter.

Fortunately, the policies have been relaxed now and the control is not so strict. If it were a few years ago, it would have been very difficult for Chen Weidong to leave the county.

……

When Chen Weidong knocked on the door, Wang Guofu was sitting on the kang and chatting with his wife.

Hearing the knock on the door, Wang Guofu came over to open the door while smoking a pipe.

Wang Guofu opened the door.

When he saw who was standing outside the door, he grinned.

"Hey! It's Weidong. You're really capable! Together with Mancang and the others, you took care of that murderous leopard."

Wang Guofu stretched out his hand and gave Chen Weidong a thumbs up. A few days ago, Chen Weidong killed a blind bear, and everyone in the village knew about it, not to mention that he killed the old leopard who killed Yang Fugui.

"Uncle Guofu, I also want to contribute to our village!"

Chen Weidong smiled. Although he was not present when the old leopard was killed, he also got a share of the meat and contributed to the fight. In the eyes of other people in the village, he had a share of the old leopard.
Moreover, at that time, Uncle Mancang was looking for famous hunters from several nearby villages.
People like Zhang Da Kui were not even invited. Now Chen Weidong was considered a top figure among the hunters in Jiuqu Village.

"Weidong, you have the better awareness!" Wang Guofu said politely while looking at Chen Weidong.

Wang Guofu didn't know why Chen Weidong wanted to see him, especially since he was holding a piece of meat in his hand. Could it be that he was giving it to him? "

Wang Guofu thought about it, but he also knew that Chen Weidong didn't owe him anything, and the man who owned the donkey cart already had one, and no one would be willing to give up such a big piece of meat for no reason.

"Weidong, what do you want from me?"

Wang Guofu asked.

"It's nothing, uncle, you take the bear meat first!" Chen Weidong said with a smile.

"Uh~ What did you say? Are you really giving this piece of meat to me?!"

Wang Guofu's eyes immediately lit up.
"Weidong, you are too polite. I am so sorry! Come in and don't stand outside!" Wang Guofu hurriedly took the meat, as if he was afraid that Chen Weidong would go back on his word.

"Weidong! Uncle won't eat your meat for nothing. If you have any problems in the future, just come to uncle!"

After saying that, he warmly invited Chen Weidong into the house.

"Uncle, I have something to trouble you with."

"Uh……"

Wang Guofu staggered, "Is this kid really in trouble?!"

Sure enough, this guy wouldn't bring meat to the door for no reason. He wanted to take it with a clear conscience and exchange a few polite words with Chen Weidong.

"What's the matter?"

Wang Guofu asked tentatively.

"I want to go to Hajiang City and need your help to get a letter of introduction."

Chen Weidong said.

"What do I think? This is easy. Just wait and I'll take you to the brigade."

Hearing this, Wang Guofu breathed a sigh of relief.

It was not a big deal to get a letter of introduction now, and then Wang Guofu drove a donkey cart with Chen Weidong to the brigade office. In front of the brigade was a large drying yard, which was left over from the 1970s.

The row of bungalows next to it were the dormitories for educated youth in the early years. The row of bungalows directly opposite is the brigade.

There are also several large characters painted on the wall - "Strive to build socialism!"

The white paint with red letters is now mottled a lot.

Wang Guofu took Chen Weidong to a house where a middle-aged man was sitting by the fire, holding an enamel cup in his hand. His hair was mottled black and white, and his beard was untidy. He looked like an ordinary villager.

"Lao Wang, it's so cold, why did you come here today?"

The middle-aged man looked at Wang Guofu as he came in and greeted him.

"Get a letter of introduction!"

Wang Guofu said directly.

Then Wang Guofu came by, and the middle-aged man didn't even ask him what he was going to do with the letter of introduction. About ten minutes later, Wang Guofu handed Chen Weidong a letter of introduction with the brigade's official seal on it.

The letter of introduction is divided into two parts. The upper half of the paper is the stub of the letter of introduction, and the lower half is the main text of the letter of introduction.

"You kid, be careful, these times are not peaceful!"

Wang Guofu reminded.

"Uncle, I know."

Wang Guofu smiled.

Then the two of them drove the donkey cart back to the village. After exchanging a few polite words with Wang Guofu, Chen Weidong went home.

As soon as I opened the door, I saw two round little butts facing me against the wall.

He was stunned.

When he walked closer, he found that it was his two daughters lying on the snow.

Si Ni held a long piece of straw in her hand and grunted as she dug it into the earth wall.

Wu Ni came closer, opened her eyes wide, and looked carefully.

"Fourth sister, catch! Catch! Catch him out!" Wu Ni said crisply.

As he spoke, he clenched his arms very seriously to cheer Si Ni on.

"I ran in and couldn't get out..." Si Ni was a little discouraged, and her face, like a little bun, curled up into a ball.

Wu Ni thought about it, then grunted and handed over the small hoe beside her.

"Sister, use this!"

Si Ni's eyes lit up.

Then the little meaty hand took it.

He stuck out his little butt, kicked back, knelt on the ground, picked up the small hoe and prepared to dig.

Chen Weidong's eyelids jumped!
Be nice!

This is a mud wall.

Why does the little guy dig into the corner of the wall? !

"and many more!"

Chen Weidong quickly opened his mouth and shouted.

He walked in quickly.

The small hoe that Si Ni swung was still in the air.

Seeing Chen Weidong coming back, the two little darlings' eyes lit up and they all got up from the ground.

"Dad, you are back."

"Dad, hug!"

The two little guys, each holding one of Chen Weidong's legs.

"Dad, look at the little mouse!"

Si Ni thought of something and happily took out a little mouse from her pocket and handed it to Chen Weidong.

"Uh……"

Very small mice often come out on snowy days in Northeast China. This one was caught by two little kids.

"Dad, there's more in the cave~"

Chen Weidong then saw clearly that there was a small hole where the little guys were lying.

The hole that Si Ni had dug before was already the size of her little finger. Outside, there were all kinds of "tools for committing crimes" piled on the ground.

Thatch, chopsticks, small wooden sticks, etc.

Chen Weidong’s eyebrows twitched. Are these two little guys trying to tear down the wall of the house?
"Dad, is Si Ni powerful?"

"Wuni is here to help. Wuni, find a stick! Find a stick!"

Two little guys.

He looked at Chen Weidong with a cocky look on his face.

Chen Weidong: “…”

What else can I do?
You gave birth to it yourself, you spoil it yourself, you beat it yourself,

He sighed. These two little ones were much more naughty than their sister.

"Crack! Crack!"

He came to the kang with two little kids in his arms and slapped them on the butt.

"Dad, why are you spanking Sini?"

"Uh-huh."

The two little kids looked at him aggrievedly.

Liu Xueting smiled: "What's wrong?"

"It must be the fourth and fifth sisters who are disobedient again." Sanni said in a baby voice.

"no!"

"obedient!"

The two little guys shook their heads vigorously.

"What else can I do? These two little guys are digging the wall. If I don't notice, they can dig the wall down!"

"That really deserves a beating!"

"Dad, I'll fight for you!"

"I also want!"

"Woooooo~"

"Second sister, be gentle, Si Ni won't dare to do it again!" Soon the little girls on the kang started fighting.

~

After the family finished dinner in the evening, Liu Xueting took the initiative to wash the pots and dishes, and Chen Weidong followed to help.

"What are you doing? I can do it by myself here."

Liu Xueting said.

"Xueting, I plan to go to Hajiang City tomorrow!" Chen Weidong then told Liu Xueting the purpose of going to Hajiang City.

As soon as Chen Weidong finished speaking, he felt the atmosphere around him suddenly become heavy. It was obvious that Liu Xueting was a little worried.

Finally, Liu Xueting couldn't help but said, "Why go to Hajiang City? It's too far away in this heavy snow. We had such a hard life before. The children and I came here. Weidong didn't have to work so hard. Our life is very good now."

"It's not tiring! It's just a trip. You can earn a lot more by going back and forth."

Chen Weidong smiled.

"Then I'll follow you!"

"Silly wife, what will happen to the children if you go, and I'm going to the bathroom alone!"

Chen Weidong refused, saying that he had been wandering around for so many years in his previous life, and traveling far away was commonplace for him.

"Wife, it's just a long trip, it's much safer than going into the mountains to hunt old leopards. Wouldn't it be okay for me to hunt old leopards?"
