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

Chapter 135 A leisurely day

After Chen Weidong returned home, Liu Xueting was making breakfast for the whole family. The little girls all got up. The older ones helped their mother with the work, and the younger ones saw Chen Weidong coming back and followed him happily.

Then Chen Weidong released the six dogs from the kennel to let them have some fresh air, and then took the little kids to train the puppies for a while.

After breakfast, Dani and Erni helped Liu Xueting clear the table.

Sanni, Sini and Wuni were all panting around the radio! Xiaoliu was also shaking his little head foolishly, swaying behind his sister.

Xiaoliu didn't dare to grab the radio because her sister really beat her! She was beaten several times yesterday, but she didn't dare to cry!

"What? You want to listen to the radio!"

Chen Weidong asked.

"I want to listen, eldest sister. Second sister hasn't come back yet. Let's listen together!" Sanni said in a baby voice.

"Listen together!"

"Listen together!"

Si Ni and Wu Ni also nodded their little heads.

Xiaoliu also cried out at Chen Weidong, so cute!
They just stared at it stupidly, waiting for Da Ni and Er Ni to come back. The little girls hurriedly urged, "Dad, open it quickly!"

"it is good!"

Chen Weidong smiled.

The little ones were listening to the radio in the house instead of going out to play. Chen Weidong took Liu Xueting and carried the things they bought in Hajiang City for their parents and eldest brother and sister-in-law, and went to his parents' house first. It happened that his eldest brother and sister-in-law were there too.

They didn't buy anything from Hajiang City this time. Chen Weidong bought a big cotton robe for his father Chen Guangtian, his mother and sister-in-law bought two hats, and his eldest brother took two bottles of good wine, which is a specialty of Hajiang City.

Chen Weidong first took out the big cotton robe he had bought in Hajiang City before: "Dad, this is the big cotton robe I bought for you!"

"Nonsense, why do I need a big cotton robe? I don't need it, why spend this money?" Chen Guangtian glared in dissatisfaction.

But, the smile in my eyes could not be hidden.

"Dad, come and try it. This robe is made of solid cotton. When I bought it before, I tried it and it was very warm."

Chen Weidong put it on Chen Guangtian half-forcefully.

"Brother, do you think our father looks like a mountain eagle?"

As Chen Weidong spoke, he took the locomotive hat that his father usually wore from the chair next to him and put it on his father's head.

"Well, we're short of a revolver." Chen Weihai continued without waiting for Chen Weidong to speak.

"You little brat, I think you deserve a beating for making fun of your father! Besides, the eagle is wearing a bearskin cloak."

Chen Guangtian reached out and slapped Chen Weidong, scolding him with a smile.

"hehe!"

Chen Weidong laughed and didn't care.

Sisters-in-law Yang Xuehua and Liu Xueting were amused by Chen Weidong's sudden antics.

"Why, you old man, you still want a bearskin cloak?"

"You are destined to enjoy it?"

Wu Xiuqin often quarreled with Chen Guangtian, and Chen Weidong and others were used to it.

"Why would I need that? It's so heavy to wear, it's worse than this robe!"

Chen Guangtian said with a smile.

"..."

"Mom, Weidong also bought you a hat!" Liu Xueting said.

"Just buy it for your dad, why buy it for me? I don't want it!"

My mother has a sharp tongue but a soft heart. Even though she says she doesn't want anything, she is very happy in her heart.

"Brother, sister-in-law, there are yours, I also bought some food for Dafei and Xiaofei!"

"Why waste that money?"

Yang Xuehua said this politely, her heart was filled with joy, these were all bought by Weidong from the city, and she might show them off at her mother's house.

"Sister-in-law, we are all family, why should we be polite?"

Liu Xueting said.

"..."

"By the way, eldest and second son, you all have dinner here today! Don't go anywhere else, and ask the children to come over too. There's meat at home!"

Chen Guangtian said.

"it is good!"

Chen Weidong and Chen Weihai responded. Since the separation, the two families rarely got together for dinner.

After the family chatted and laughed together for a while, they heard Dani running over panting.

"grandparents!"

The little girl first shouted obediently, and then said to Chen Weidong: "Dad, Uncle Shitou and Uncle Bingzi are here!"

"Here comes Shitou and Bingzi!"

"Mom, Dad, Brother and Sister-in-law, I need to go back and see what's going on!"

"Go and do your work first!"

Chen Weidong took Dani home.

"Brother Wei Dong!"

Shitou and Bingzi came to Chen Weidong excitedly. After all, how could they not be excited to earn a hundred yuan in an instant?

Shitou had dark circles under his eyes, obviously he didn't sleep well the night before, but he kept smiling foolishly. Bingzi was much better, after all, Chen Weidong gave the money to Aunt San in the morning. But Bingzi also grinned and laughed non-stop.

"Why are you all grinning? What were you doing?"

"Brother Weidong, this is the first time we've made so much money, it feels like a dream!" "Look at what you have accomplished!" Chen Weidong scolded with a smile.

"Hehe, Brother Weidong, my dad asked you to come to my house for lunch!" said Shi Tou.

“Bingzi, also hurriedly said, my mother meant the same thing!”

"Shi Tou, I think Brother Weidong will eat at my house for lunch today and at your house for dinner!"

"No, my wife is already cooking!"

"..."

"I'm not going anywhere today. I'm going to eat at my dad's place. I've already made up my mind! Tell Aunt San and Sister Hongxiu to stop working!"

Chen Weidong said.

Hearing this, the two could only nod.

"Brother Weidong, when are we going up the mountain again?" Bingzi asked excitedly.

Shitou also nodded quickly. Since they had made so much money by killing a blind bear, the two of them certainly wanted to do it again.

During the days when Chen Weidong was away, they also wandered around the nearby hills, but they only hunted some pheasants, rabbits and the like.

"Why are you in such a hurry? Do you know where the Xiongcangzi is?" Chen Weidong said unhappily.

"do not know!"

"I just came back and I'll take a rest for two days. I'll let you know when I go into the mountains."

"Okay! Brother Weidong, let me know if there's anything. We'll go home and talk first."

"Ah."

Chen Weidong nodded, and the two left in a hurry.

Then Chen Weidong turned off the radio and took the little ones to his parents' house.

As soon as the little girls came, the whole room seemed much more crowded.

The older one was very well behaved, and the younger one was running around! One moment he ran to Dafei and Xiaofei, and the jumping child stretched out a hand, pulled them both and said in a baby voice: "Brother, play with me!"

Sometimes, they ran into Liu Xueting's arms, and sometimes they went to look for their grandfather and father. However, the little guys were still very afraid of their mother, Wu Xiuqin!
It was almost noon, Wu Xiuqin called Yang Xuehua and Liu Xueting to cook some dishes, and then Chen Weidong and Chen Weihai carried the table. There were fourteen people in the big family, and the small table at her parents' house could not accommodate all the little ones, so they had to put two tables together.

Then, the Chen family father and sons drank and ate at the kang table. Liu Xueting brought six little girls, Wu Xiuqin, and Yang Xuehua brought her two sons to eat together.

After dinner, everyone chatted again, and then Chen Weidong took his wife and children back home!
……

"Weidong, are you taking care of the kids at home?"

Chen Weidong was holding Xiaoliu in the yard and playing with the dog when he saw Li Guifang coming over and saying with a smile.

"Aunt San is here! I really can't make it over at noon!" Seeing the person coming, Chen Weidong greeted her while holding Xiaoliu.

"Aunt San knows!" Li Guifang smiled.

"Aunt Weidong wants to trouble you with something. I want to go to Xiahetun. Can you drive my donkey cart to take me there?" Li Guifang said to Chen Weidong a little embarrassedly.

"What's the matter?"

Chen Weidong asked, Xiahetun is not close.

"It's all about Bingzi's blind date. Why is it so hard for this kid to find a wife? I'll go ask how it's going. You can just send me over, otherwise it will be too dark when I get back!"

Li Guifang said.

"Bingzi's blind date, don't say it's okay, even if there is something wrong, I have to go!"

Chen Weidong smiled.

Chen Weidong handed the child to Liu Xueting and the little girls on the kang, then drove the donkey cart, hitched up the sled, and set off with Li Guifang.

Following Li Guifang's instructions, Chen Weidong brought Li Guifang to Zhang the matchmaker's home in Xiahetun. As soon as they arrived in a donkey cart, they saw several old women welcoming them at the door.

"Guifang, is this your son?"

"No, this is my nephew!"

"Your nephew is really good-looking! He must be over 1.8 meters tall, right?"

"That nose is so straight!"

"You didn't see that the philtrum is long and wide."

"He looks a bit old, but he drives a donkey cart, so he must be in good condition. Do you have a partner?"

Chen Weidong had just driven the donkey cart back when a group of old women and young wives surrounded Li Guifang and asked.

"Don't even think about it. My nephew is already 27 or 28 years old and has five or six children!"

"Hey, I like this kid very much. I was thinking of introducing him to my sister!"

"Forget it, it's just your sister. Even if I don't have children, I don't like your sister."

Someone suddenly said.

"What happened to my sister? My sister is an absolute expert at housework in our village. She is good at everything inside and outside the house.

Moreover, your butt is as round and big as mine, so you can guarantee one child a year, and two in three years." A middle-aged woman with big shoulders and a thick waist shouted proudly, pinching her waist.

"Aiping, my younger brother just turned 20 this year. He's a good guy in the area and can do the work of two people. Why don't you introduce your sister to my brother?" When the middle-aged woman said this, someone was immediately attracted and came forward to establish a relationship with Qian Aiping.

As mentioned before, in this era, people in the countryside don't like to look for wives with willow-like thin waists, but prefer those with round and big butts and broad minds.

Only a woman like this can make a living.

She can work in the fields, do housework, and give birth to children.

Qian Aiping has a lot to be proud of. Just as she said, after she got married, she gave birth to one baby a year, two babies in three years, and four big fat boys in five years.

Among them were twins.

Li Guifang was immediately enlightened when she heard this and quickly came forward: "My son Bingzi hasn't gotten married yet. He's 25 this year. Although he's a little older, he may have done it. He's already made a hundred yuan in just a few days!"

"One hundred yuan! Is that true?" Qian Aiping couldn't believe it!
"Of course it's true..."
