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

Chapter 205: Goudan, you are a stinky little brother, I don’t like you anymore!
After Chen Weidong and Liu Xueting finished brewing the wine, the little girls came over.

In fact, they wanted to join in the fun when the wine was being brewed just now, but Liu Xueting thought they were making trouble, so she asked Sanni to take them to play aside.

At this moment, there were six little fire balls following Sanni. These little foxes were as clingy as kittens. When they had nothing to do, they liked to climb onto the people they liked.

"Weidong, don't we need to deal with those antlers together now?" Liu Xueting looked at Chen Weidong and asked in a crisp voice.

"Let's not deal with it for now. We'll deal with it slowly when I come back from the mountains next time." Chen Weidong picked up Xiaoliu who was hugging his thigh at his feet and said softly.

It is too tiring to make deer antler glue. During the time in the mountains, he has been practicing making deer antler glue day and night. Now he really doesn't want to make it anymore. Besides, Chen Weidong has promised to notify Shitou, Bingzi and Li Shengli to come and help in making deer antler glue!
"But now there's no room for the antlers in the main room! Are you going to put them in the wooden house next time? I'll go and free up some things in there."

"Xueting, stop working. It's okay. Just pile these things outside. They are not afraid of wind, sun, or water. I pile them inside the house now because I don't want anyone to see them and cause any trouble."

Chen Weidong placed all the deer antlers in the main room, fearing that others would see them and force them to follow him into the mountains to dig out the antlers.

Some people are so shameless that they will take advantage of any opportunity they see. There are quite a few such people in the village.

Just like before, when people saw him picking up a lot of pine nuts, they came to ask him one by one. If it wasn’t too far, I’m afraid many people would go there.

Although the Black Mountain Peak is farther away, the shed antlers of deer are much more valuable than pine nuts. Some hunters might risk going there after hearing the news!

This is human nature. Chen Weidong doesn't want to cause trouble for himself, nor does he want to share the treasures of the mountains with others.

At lunchtime, Liu Xueting took some deer antler glue.

Let Chen Guangtian and Wu Xiuqin try it. This thing is a blood tonic and is good for the health of the elderly and children!

Chen Weidong was taking care of the children at home. After a while, Da Ni and Er Ni also came home from school, and Liu Xueting followed them back.

"Weidong, Dad wants you to go for a trip!" Liu Xueting came to Chen Weidong and said.

"Oh! What's the matter?"

"I don't know! I didn't ask, and my dad didn't tell me." Liu Xueting said.

"Okay, I'll go see what's going on!"

Chen Weidong put down the two little foxes in his arms and walked out of the yard.

"Weidong, you and Bingzi have been in the mountains for so long this time. How is it going? Is everything going well?" Chen Guangtian asked with concern.

"It's okay, it went pretty smoothly! I plan to rest for two days before going into the mountains again. If everything goes well, I can rest at home for a month or so." Chen Weidong replied with a smile.

In this weather, when he comes back from the mountains next time, the snow in the mountains will probably have melted. By then, it will be difficult to cross the swamp. Moreover, the soil in the mountains is too soft to be convenient for hunting. Chen Weidong's house building should also be put on the agenda.

"That's fine. You're still young, so there's no need to fight too hard. There are a lot of wild animals in the mountains, so you better be careful!"

Chen Guangtian nodded.

"Your father is right. Someone was bitten by a wild boar in Shengli village a few days ago. Fortunately, he was lucky and it wasn't serious. Otherwise, he would have been the same as your third uncle." Wu Xiuqin interrupted at this time.

"Go away! You old woman, what nonsense are you talking about? Why don't you say something nice?"

Chen Guangtian said.

"I'm doing this for Weidong's sake..."

"Okay, Mom and Dad, stop arguing! Dad, what do you want from me?"

As soon as Chen Weidong spoke, the two stopped arguing.

"It's nothing. I just want to ask if you have anything to do tomorrow. If you don't, please help me take these two pounds of bear meat to your aunt!" said Chen Guangtian.

As mentioned before, Chen Weidong's grandfather had three sons and one daughter. Except for Chen Weidong's second uncle who did not support him, his aunt Chen Feng married to the neighboring Linhai County, Qianguangling, Taipingtun, and married far away.

Normally they only go out together during festivals. During the Chinese New Year, Chen Weidong and his elder brother went to pay New Year’s greetings!

"Row!"

Chen Weidong knew that Chen Guangtian didn't know how to drive a donkey cart, so he agreed without hesitation.

"Then Mom and Dad, I'm going back to eat first!"

"Why go back? Your mother has prepared dinner. I asked Xueting to call you over because I wanted us to have a couple of drinks together." Chen Guangtian said with a smile.

"Okay! I haven't drank with you for a long time!" Chen Weidong said with a smile.

~

"grandfather!"

"grandfather!"

"grandmother!"

"Dad, why don't you come home for dinner? Mom has prepared the meal!"

Chen Weidong and his parents had just been eating on the kang when Dani came running over with five little girls.

"Your dad is eating at grandpa's place, do you want to eat here?"

Chen Guangtian said to his six granddaughters with a smile.

"Mom made delicious food!"

“Eat with Mom!”

The little girls shook their heads.

Chen Weidong smiled and asked Dani to take the little girls home for dinner.

When Chen Weidong came home after dinner, Dani and Erni had already gone to school.
Four little girls were playing in the yard, and Goudan was following them happily.

"Goudan is here!"

"Brother Goudan just came to send sisters Xiaohua, big sister and second sister to school. Let's call him to play with us!" Sanni said in a baby voice.

"Hehe, what are you playing?"

"Dad, we are jumping rope, Dad, you should jump too! I can jump this high!"

"Uh...play with you guys for a bit!"

"Dad, come on!"

The little girls shouted, Goudan is a boy, and his development is later than that of girls. Although he is in the same grade as Xiaowu, he looks much dumber than Xiaowu. At this moment, he also shouted quickly: "Dad, come on!"

This shout actually stunned Chen Weidong. You know, although Chen Weidong recognized Goudan as his godson, this little guy was not like his sister and rarely called him godfather! Not to mention calling him dad.

After being stunned for a moment, Chen Weidong burst into laughter.

Si Ni corrected him: "Brother Goudan, you can't call me dad, you have to call me uncle, he is my dad!"

Goudan was stunned by the laughter and nodded, "I understand, Sister Si Ni, he is your father and my father as well."

Si Ni raised her voice, "He's not your father, he's my father!"

Goudan also raised his voice, "He's not your father, he's my father!"

Si Ni was angry, "He is my father! Humph, Goudan, you are a stinky little brother, I don't like you anymore!"

"Woooooooo..."

When Goudan saw Si Ni’s fierce look, he was suddenly scared and started crying.

Liu Xueting quickly hugged him in her arms, "Be good, Goudan, don't cry. It's your fourth sister's fault. Let's beat her!"

Liu Xueting pretended to wave to Si Ni.

Si Ni dodged and made a face, "Lululu, I didn't hit you!"

Goudan was amused again and struggled to get off Liu Xueting to play.

The child's emotions came and went quickly. Liu Xueting was used to it and put him on the ground, but still told Si Ni: "Don't make your brother cry again. He is a guest and you are the host. You have to take good care of the guests, understand?"

"But he stole my dad!"

Si Ni's words made Chen Weidong and Liu Xueting laugh.

"He is your father's godson and your brothers!"

……

The next day, after telling Liu Xueting a little, Chen Weidong set off on his donkey cart with the bear meat.
The four little girls also clamored to visit relatives, so Chen Weidong decided to take the four little girls, Sanni, Sini, Wuni and Liuni, to Taipingtun together.

There was a difficult mountain road in Taipingtun, so Chen Weidong could only pull the donkey cart. The four little girls ran down one after another, chasing each other, talking and laughing. Except for Xiaoliu, the other three children did not climb onto the sled, but they actually walked on their own.

"Aunt, we're here to see you!" Si Ni shouted loudly from a distance.

Wu Ni also shouted, "Aunt, we are here to see you!"

However, when they arrived under the fir tree, they saw three children about their age running out of the house.

Compared with Sanni and her four little kids, these three were much more shy. They leaned on the doorstep and looked up timidly at Sanni and the other little girls and Chen Weidong.

"My name is Si Ni, what are your names?"

Si Ni walked up to the three children and looked them up and down.

The three children didn't say anything, just looked at them timidly.

This should be your cousin’s younger brother or sister!
Chen Weidong has an impression!

I saw her the last time I came here. My aunt has three sons, but they split up the family business. My uncle died early, so my aunt now lives with the youngest son, Qian Youzhu.

Not long after Qian Youzhu got married, he brought his wife to Chen Weidong's home to celebrate the New Year.

"Ah? They are about the same age as us. Are they older than us?"

Si Ni was in the village, and among the children, they were either of the same generation or younger than her.

I was a little surprised to hear that there was someone older than me.

"They are about the same age as you, but they are your cousin's younger brothers and sisters, so they are older than you!"

Chen Weidong smiled and said, "You should call them uncle and aunt!"

"Uncle, aunt!"

Except for Xiaoliu who didn't know how to call out, the other three kids called out reluctantly, but there was still no response from the other three kids.

When Chen Weidong saw them, he immediately thought of his own daughters, who used to be just like them, timid, cowardly, and shy.

Fortunately, with my deliberate training and guidance, my daughters have changed a lot. They have become more and more confident and cheerful, especially Si Ni, who is simply a super social expert!
"who are you?"

Just then, a boy about fourteen years old ran down the hillside.

A look of vigilance.

"Don't you know me? I'm your brother-in-law's cousin," Chen Weidong said with a smile.

The boy looked at Chen Weidong carefully and found that he had indeed met him once during the last meal, but he didn't know what kind of relative he was!
After saying that, he ran away, faster than a monkey.

Not long after, he was seen jogging towards him, followed by his cousin Qian Youzhu and his wife Liu Xiaoxue.
