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

Chapter 59: Driving a donkey cart and taking two girls into the city
"Don't worry, if it dares to bite us, we will eat donkey meat today."

Chen Weidong said with a smile.

"Dad, no, it's Grandpa Bald's donkey. If you eat the donkey meat, Grandpa Bald will ask Mom to pay for it!"

Sanni said seriously.

"Haha~ This little guy! Dad is just scaring it, it's okay! No one will ask our family to pay for it."

"Oh~"

Sanni breathed a sigh of relief.

This scene made Chen Weidong happy. How come Sanni, a four-year-old baby, started to worry about the family?

However, Si Ni who was standing beside him obviously heard what Chen Weidong said. She immediately took her short legs and led the black tiger over, pointing at the black tiger and threatening the donkey.

"Little donkey, ...

"Wang! Wang! Wang!"

The black tiger actually barked twice and then lay down beside Si Ni.

donkey:"……"

Chen Weidong: “…”

Then, the little ones were eager to try, and Chen Weidong carried them one by one onto the donkey's back and rode on the donkey for fun.

To Chen Weidong's surprise, the little donkey was surprisingly obedient this time. You know, Chen Weidong had just come out of Wang Guofu's house. The donkey was disobedient, so Chen Weidong whipped it hard a few times before it started to move.

"Could it be that the little guy's threat is really useful?"

However, seeing that the little donkey was obediently letting the children ride on it, the donkey whip that Chen Weidong was holding in one hand was useless.

Big Ni, Second Ni...Sixth Ni played happily on the donkey for a while one by one.

These little guys took some of the hay from the donkey cart, stretched out their cute little hands and started feeding the little donkey.

"Little donkey, Wu Ni will feed you~"

"Eat Fatty!"

When the little donkey saw the food handed over by the little ones, it let out an excited cry of “Ah-uh! Ah-uh!”

This sound made the little kids giggle.

Chen Weidong stared at the scene helplessly, especially since Fourth and Fifth Ni were very scared just now, but now they dared to feed the donkey. Only Sixth Ni was hugging Chen Weidong's thighs, babbling words that he could not understand.

But the donkey was a smart one and never made any move towards the little guy.
The donkey ate the grass handed to it by the little hands of the little ones obediently, and was happily feeding the six little kids until Liu Xueting called for it to eat, and then it stopped!
"Weidong is waiting for you to come back from the county town. It's getting dark now. I'd better go with you so that you can have a companion!"

The family of eight had just finished their meal when Liu Xueting suddenly spoke.

"Xueting, you should stay at home. I am worried about leaving no one at home. Let Dani and Erni go with me! They haven't been to the county town yet, so I'll show them around!"

Chen Weidong said, and then looked at the two little girls: "Da Ni, Er Ni, do you want to go to the city with your dad to sell wild boars?"

Da Ni and Er Ni, two little girls, one is seven years old and the other is six years old, and they have never been far away from home.

Chen Weidong took them to see the world more. If the donkey cart wasn’t already loaded with a wild boar, Chen Weidong would have wanted to take his wife and children with him!

"Think~"

They were both startled, and then their faces lit up with joy. They had never been to the city in their lives! Not to mention riding a donkey cart to the county town.

"Dad, I want to go too?"

Sanni said in a baby voice. As soon as these words came out, the two little babies, Sini and Wuni, responded one after another and threw themselves into Chen Weidong's arms! Chen Weidong was at a loss and prepared to coax them first.

Erni pointed at the three little ones and said fiercely, "What are you going to do? My elder sister and I are helping Dad sell wild boars. You stay at home and listen to Mom! If anyone disobeys, I will never take you out to play again~"

"Second sister, don't be angry, we will listen to you!"

Faced with the second sister's majesty, the little ones could only obey.

Chen Weidong smiled. These little guys usually relied on Erni to support them outside. If Erni dared to beat them, how could they disobey her?

But I'll take them out when I have time.

Then, the wild boar was loaded onto the donkey cart, and Dani and Erni also excitedly got on the donkey cart.

Under the gaze of Liu Xueting and the little guy, Chen Weidong drove the donkey cart, carrying Da Ni and Er Ni to the county town.

"Weidong, why did you drive out Wang Guofu's precious donkey?"

"Weidong, what are you doing with your two daughters?"

"Ouch! Am I seeing right? Weidong, you killed a big wild boar there!"

"He must have been lucky to have found it. Look at the fangs. They are cannon eggs. Even an experienced hunter would avoid them if he saw them!"

"..."

When passing by the village, some people in the village greeted us, while others saw the wild boar on the donkey cart and started talking about it.

Chen Weidong didn't pay much attention to him. He said hello politely and drove away in his donkey cart.

"Drive! Drive!"

Chen Weidong drove the donkey skillfully. Actually, driving a donkey is similar to yelling at a horse.
To make it go forward, it is always "Go!" Of course, there are many differences.

Chen Weidong beats and shouts at the same time. It looks simple, but most people can't drive a donkey well. Driving a donkey is a technical job. Nowadays, those who can drive a donkey in Heisong County are called "donkey handlers".

After all, a donkey has a stubborn temper, and not just anyone can drive it away. Especially when the donkey is forced to retreat, many people are unable to control it. Only a good donkey handle style can drive the donkey back and forth, and move forward and retreat freely.

With Chen Weidong's whip, the donkey pulled the cart towards the county town.

The two little girls were obviously very happy to ride a donkey cart to the county town for the first time!
Driving a donkey cart is really fast and not tiring. It is much more comfortable than walking to the county town before.

Chen Weidong plans to buy a donkey when he has enough money! Otherwise, if he keeps borrowing from Wang Guofu, he doesn't know how many rabbits he will lose.

Around 3 o'clock, Chen Weidong brought Da Ni and Er Ni to the county town, which saved half the time compared to walking.

There were still many people on the streets of the county town at this time. Dani had never seen such a lively scene, nor had she seen so many novel things.
Their big watery eyes showed curiosity and a little worry. The two of them held Chen Weidong's clothes tightly. Erni was the bravest in the family, and now she acted like a good baby.

Then Chen Weidong rushed towards the nearest state-owned hotel in the county town.

Chen Weidong was driving a donkey cart on the streets of the county. In that era, pulling a wild boar in the county town was a conspicuous thing, not to mention carrying two cute girls. Passers-by looked at them from time to time.

Chen Weidong was driving his donkey cart on the road when suddenly a middle-aged man on a bicycle stopped in front of the donkey cart.

"Comrade, are you going into town to sell wild boars? Did you kill this wild boar?"

The middle-aged man just looked at Chen Weidong, his daughter and his two children and asked.

"Well, what's wrong with you?"

Chen Weidong nodded.
