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

Chapter 83 A Family of Eight Visits the County Town

"Black Tiger, White Tiger, you two take good care of the house!" Chen Weidong touched the heads of Black Tiger and White Tiger.

The two dogs whimpered twice in response.

Immediately afterwards, Chen Weidong locked the gate of the yard and got on the donkey cart. Chen Weidong sat in the front with a whip in his hand.

"drive!"

A whip will only hurt the skin but not the flesh.

Under Chen Weidong's whip, the donkey quickly pulled the cart away.

"Weidong, what are you doing with Xueting and the kids?"

"Grandpa, let's go to the county town~"

Before leaving the village, they happened to run into their father Chen Guangtian who had just gone out. Before Chen Weidong and Liu Xueting could say anything, Xiao Si, the conspicuous boy, climbed up from the donkey cart, waving his little hands and shouting.

"Grandpa, Grandpa~"

The other children all greeted him. The five little girls were usually afraid of their grandma, but they were very affectionate to their grandpa.

"Um,"

Chen Guangtian responded, took a puff of his pipe, and smiled.

These days, I have watched my granddaughters grow from pale and skinny to plump and lively. I love them from the bottom of my heart.

Chen Guangtian also felt a lot more relieved. What he was most worried about was his youngest son's family and how he would raise these six children. Now that he saw that their lives were better, he felt much more relaxed.

"Dad, I'm taking the kids to the county town. By the way, I killed two wolves yesterday. When I get home in the evening, I'll get some wolf meat and send it to you and your brother to try." Chen Weidong said with a smile.

"Kid, just keep it for yourself! Your mother and I will be happy if your family lives a good life!"

Chen Guangtian said with a smile.

"Dad, where are you going? It's on our way to the county town, so it's a good idea for Weidong to take us along!" Liu Xueting asked with concern.

"No, I just can't stand your mother's nagging. Let's go out for a walk. You guys should go quickly. It's too far to the county town!"

"Well!"

Chen Weidong and Liu Xueting smiled.

"Grandpa~"

The little kids waved their hands, and as the donkey cart moved forward, the old man's figure slowly disappeared from the little ones' sight.

Far out of the village, several little girls, except Xiaoliu, were very excited.

Because Xiaoliu was still young and afraid of catching a cold, Liu Xueting took out one of her own thin cotton jackets and covered the little guy's head before going out.

"Dad, look, there's a cow!"

"Mom, look at the horses, there are so many people!"

"..."

Since we were out early in the morning, many people were going out to the market.
Some drove donkey carts, some drove horse carts, ox carts, and many people walked. The little ones were dancing with excitement.

"Wu Ni, be careful, don't lie behind your dad, or you might fall." Liu Xueting reminded.

"I'm holding onto Dad, don't be afraid!" Wu Ni obviously didn't want to change positions.

"Wuni!"

Er Ni came out and glared at Wu Ni.
Wu Ni sat down obediently, followed her sisters, and looked at the wolf cub in the car.
Now, seeing the wolf cubs that looked like puppies with their own eyes, they were not as scared as they were yesterday.

When the donkey cart arrived at the county town, the little kids who had never been to the county town before, just like Da Ni and Er Ni, had never seen such a lively scene in the county town before. Their big watery eyes were full of curiosity and a little worried.

One by one, they pulled Liu Xueting's clothes tightly for fear that they would lose them. Dani and Erni came once and it was much better.

Chen Weidong drove his donkey cart to a small black market in the alley, found someone who bought wolf cubs, and sold the three wolves.

He sold the three wolf cubs for thirteen yuan, bought two packs of cigarettes, and then continued to take his wife and children to the state-owned Chinese medicine store.

"Hey! You're here. What do you have to sell?"

The master in charge of purchasing at the state-owned Chinese medicine store has the same surname as Chen Weidong, a master named Chen Guoren, who is in his fifties or sixties. When he was selling badger oil, Chen Weidong often stuffed cigarettes into his pocket.

Master Chen was impressed by Chen Weidong. After all, no one else was as capable as this guy. There was nothing to do in the store at the moment, and he saw Chen Weidong and his two little girls coming in, so he greeted them happily.

"Master Chen~"

Chen Weidong brought Da Ni and Er Ni over, while the other little ones and Liu Xueting were on the donkey cart.

"Are these your two daughters? They are so pretty," Master Chen greeted as soon as he came up.

Hearing someone asking them, Da Ni and Er Ni poked their heads out from behind Chen Weidong and blinked their big eyes: "Hello, Grandpa!"

"Your children are so well-behaved, unlike my grandchildren who make a fuss at home all day long!" Master Chen looked at Da Ni and Er Ni and said with a smile.

"Come and have some candy. I bought it for the kids."

Looking at the pretty little girl, Master Chen took out two small sugar cubes from his pocket.

Dani and Erni looked at Master Chen's candies eagerly, but since they were given by a stranger, they retracted their hands and no one dared to reach out to take them.

Chen Weidong smiled and said, "It's for you, just take it!"

Master Chen gave him a pack of cigarettes at the beginning, and this time he had to sell deer antlers. It was not too much for the little ones to eat two candies from him.

"Dad, my sisters are still outside! They don't have any candy to eat! They will be angry again soon."

Erni speaks like a little adult.

"And my sister! Let her in! I don't have much else, how can I be short of a candy?"

Upon hearing this, Erni panted and went to call her sister.

After a while, five little kids came running over panting, and Liu Xueting followed behind them, holding Xiaoliu in her arms.

"Grandpa, my sister said you need to give Si Ni some candy!"

Si Ni was no longer afraid now, and ran straight to Master Chen and spoke in a baby voice.

Master Chen: "Uh...are these all your children?"

"Well, six daughters in total!"

"Six daughters? Awesome!"

Master Chen looked at the children around him, all looking at him eagerly. No, to be more precise, they were looking at the candy in his hand.

Master Chen quickly took it out of his pocket.

It took a while to collect enough!
"Hurry up, thank you grandpa!" Chen Weidong smiled.

"Thank you grandpa,"

Master Chen felt better when he heard the little ones jumping and making cute noises. This candy was not cheap. It was originally for him to eat with his grandchildren.

"Good boy, you are so sensible!"

"This is your wife, right? She's really pretty, but she doesn't look like the people from Northeast China. Especially here, people are all very strong and tough, not like your wife at all."

Master Chen joked.

"Uncle, you guessed it right. I'm from the south." Liu Xueting nodded.

"The south? That's quite far from here," Master Chen sighed, "Girl, you must be an educated youth who went to the countryside!"

Master Chen could tell at once that the graceful girl in front of him was a good person. Before the production team was disbanded, many educated youths from all over the country came to Hesong County. Many of them responded to the slogan of taking root in the countryside.

Many people got married and settled down here. After the educated youth returned to the city, many of them went back, but there were also many who had children and were unwilling to leave for the sake of their children and families.

"Yeah," Liu Xueting nodded.

"You are really capable! You brought the educated youth home and gave birth to six children. You are really capable!"

Master Chen secretly gave Chen Weidong a thumbs up.

Chen Weidong smiled bitterly. In fact, they had been married for so many years.
Chen Weidong has never taken his wife and children back to her parents' home.
The little ones have never seen their grandparents.

It’s not that Liu Xueting has a bad relationship with her family. On the contrary, she is a very filial person.

It's not that I don't want to, it's just that I don't have the conditions.

Neither of them has the conditions.

When the two got married, Liu Xueting's father made the trip over mountains and rivers to see them, but they basically lost contact after that.

Liu Xueting's family conditions are not good either. She has a younger brother and a younger sister. Liu Xueting belongs to the five black categories and is from a former landlord family. There is no need to say more about the other families.

Moreover, it is very difficult to visit relatives these days. In his previous life, Chen Weidong had seen many women who married far away in the 1960s and 1970s, and they never returned to their parents' home before they died.

In the previous life, Liu Xueting was also like this...

Although Liu Xueting doesn't usually say it, there are some things that the couple don't need to say too much. In this life, Chen Weidong will definitely take his wife back to her hometown in the south to visit.

Let the little ones take a look at grandma and grandpa!
Take a look at your mother-in-law, sister-in-law, and brother-in-law!
