Hunting 81: Gathering Goods in the Mountains, I Spoil My Ex-Wife to the Extreme

On the way back from the county town by bus, Dou Dou hugged her newly bought panda plush toy and dozed off in Lin Xiulan's arms.

The girl was tired from playing in the county town these past few days, and she fell asleep shortly after getting on the bus, so Li Yunshan had to carry her.

Unfortunately, the girl recognized people. When she opened her eyes and saw that it was Li Yunshan holding her, she immediately became unhappy and insisted on being held by Lin Xiulan.

This left Li Yunshan quite helpless.

It seems that no matter how good he is to Dou Dou now, the child is still attached to Lin Xiulan.

"The county town is great, but I still feel more at ease living in the village."

As the bus swayed and bumped along the dirt road leading to Xiangyang Commune, Lin Xiulan looked out the window at the scenery rushing past and said softly.

The county town was bustling, more so than Xiangyang Commune.

Compared to the county seat, Guapigou Village is like a firefly compared to the bright moon.

No matter how prosperous the county town is, in Lin Xiulan's heart, she still feels more comfortable and at ease living in Guapigou Village.

"Yes, our village is still the best."

Li Yunshan gripped Lin Xiulan's hand tightly and turned to look at her.

Although he kept emphasizing to Lin Xiulan that he wanted to buy land and build a house in the county town and settle down there, in his heart, only in the village could he truly feel at ease.

In his past life, when he was critically ill, he also thought about returning to the small mountain village where he was born and raised before he breathed his last.

Even if I die, I will die in Guapigou Village.

Unfortunately, Lin Xiulan took him to the provincial capital for medical treatment, which was far from Guapigou Village, and his health condition at the time did not allow for long-distance travel. In the end, he died far from home.

"Are you still thinking of buying land and building a house in the county town?"

Lin Xiulan looked at him and asked.

"These two things are not contradictory. Our village is remote and has inconvenient transportation, so it's difficult to do even a small business, let alone get rich. But after buying land and building a house in the county town and settling down, things become much more convenient."

"We need to go out and open a new door for our children, but that doesn't mean we should forget our roots. As long as we have Guapigou Village in our hearts, it doesn't matter where we are."

"We need to go out into the world to build a business for our children. When we get old and our children are grown up, we will hand over the business to them and then return to the village to enjoy our retirement. We will go back every ten days or so to see our mother and elder brother and sister-in-law. We can take care of both sides."

Li Yunshan said with a smile.

With the progress of reform and opening up, the social economy will definitely move forward, and the problem of inconvenient transportation will also be completely changed with economic growth.

If Li Yunshan remembers correctly, with the slogan "To get rich, build roads first," a road-building boom will sweep across the country.

In three to five years, the dirt road from Xiangyang Commune to the county town will be paved with a thick layer of asphalt.

The construction of the asphalt road has also allowed villagers along the way and those passing through to say goodbye to the embarrassing situation of "being covered in mud on sunny days and having mud on rainy days".

Then, I'll buy a car...

Although a car at that time still cost tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of yuan, Li Yunshan believed that with his knowledge from his previous life, as long as he found the right direction, it wouldn't be difficult to earn this money.

In his past life, he amassed a fortune of hundreds of millions. There's no reason why, after being reborn and possessing foresight, he wouldn't be able to make money.

After a bumpy half-hour ride on the dirt road leading to Xiangyang Commune, we found a horse-drawn carriage to return to Guapigou Village.

Back in the village, Li Yunshan took Lin Xiulan and Dou Dou to his elder brother Li Yunshi's house first.

Just then, Li Yunshan's sister-in-law Wang Xiaolian and second sister Li Yunmei came out and saw him carrying large bags and bundles. They quickly went to greet him and took the two large bags from his hands.

Hey, it's quite heavy to carry!

"Auntie, I miss you so much."

DouDou ran towards Li Yunmei.

"Oh, your aunt misses you too, Dou Dou. Tell your aunt, was the county town fun? How many days did you spend there? What did you do?"

Li Yunmei carried a large handbag in one hand and held Dou Dou's hand in the other as she walked into the house, asking with a smile.

"My dad and mom took me to the department store, to the movies, and to hot pot. They also bought me lots of new clothes and lots of delicious food."

"Oh right, Daddy also took Mommy and me to a photo studio. We took pictures together. There was a family photo, a photo of Daddy holding me, and a photo of Mommy holding me."

"I also ate my favorite roast chicken... In short, the county town was so much fun!"

Holding Li Yunmei's hand, Dou Dou skipped and hopped into the house, vividly recounting her experiences in the county town over the past few days.

Upon hearing this, Li Yunmei's eyes narrowed into slits. Li Yunshan and Lin Xiulan, who were following behind, couldn't help but smile after hearing it as well.

Back at his elder brother Li Yunshi's house, Li Yunshan went into the main room and distributed all the things he had brought back to the family.

Huang Zhifang tried on the new cotton coat that Lin Xiulan handed her, saying, "Why waste money like this again?" but her eyes were full of smiles.

Wang Xiaolian accepted the face cream from Li Yunshan with a big smile on her face.

"Sister-in-law, I was foolish in the past and neglected my family. Over the years, it has been you and my brother who have taken care of Mother. I'm sorry to have troubled you and my brother."

"It's not hard work at all. I've made mistakes before, and I was easily offended in the past, so please don't take it to heart."

"Hehe, no wonder, no wonder. By the way, these leather hats and gloves were also bought for my older brother. He works at the forest farm, and these things keep him warm, so he'll need them."

"And these cotton-padded jackets, one for you, your elder brother, and your two nephews. I only roughly know the sizes, and I don't know if they'll fit."

When Wang Xiaolian saw the new cotton-padded jackets handed to her, her smile never stopped: "I'll try them on, and if they don't fit, I'll alter them."

When I tried it on, it fit me quite well.

Li Yunshi's two chubby sons each picked up a cotton-padded jacket, said "Thank you, Uncle San," and happily tried them on.

The main room was bustling with activity when the sound of a bicycle bell rang out from outside.

The two boys, who had just tried on the clothes, lit up when they heard this: "It's my dad who's back!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the main door of the hall opened, and Li Yunshi pushed his bicycle in.

Seeing so many people in the house, including Li Yunshan and his family of three, Li Yunshi was also surprised: "Oh, third brother, you're here too. I ran into Uncle Baotian at the village entrance. I heard you've done two big things again."

The two major events Li Yunshi mentioned were, of course, killing the tiger that had entered the village and the hunting trip in the mountains, where they caught a full nine deer.

"Brother, let's not talk about those two important things for now. I just came back from the county town. I bought you a cotton-padded coat, a leather hat, and leather gloves. Try them on and see if they fit."

Li Yunshan ignored Li Yunshi's words and instead asked his sister-in-law, Wang Xiaolian, to quickly have her older brother, Li Yunshi, try on the newly bought clothes.

"First, brush the snowflakes off my clothes."

Li Yunshi wasn't in a hurry to try on the new cotton-padded coat. Instead, he asked Wang Xiaolian to bring him a feather duster to brush off the snowflakes from his body before taking the cotton-padded coat that Li Yunshan had bought and trying it on.

After putting it on and buttoning it up, Li Yunshi nodded in satisfaction: "Okay, it fits quite well and doesn't hurt my hands. You have a good eye and picked out clothes that suit me."

"We're about the same height, but I'm bigger than you. I'm thinking of buying one that fits my build. Even if the new cotton-padded jacket is a little big, it won't be a problem. It would be troublesome if it's too small."

"Third brother, you must have spent a lot of money on this trip to the county town, right?"

"It did cost quite a bit, but money is meant to be spent."

"Grandma, look, this is a photo of me, Dad, Mom, and me taken at the photo studio in the county town."

At this moment, Dou Dou took a photo album out of a large bag and handed it to Huang Zhifang.

Huang Zhifang was also surprised when she opened it; what an exquisite photo album!

Six-inch photos, in color, all laminated.

"Grandma, this was taken at West Lake in Hangzhou, this was taken at Tiananmen Square, and this... uh, it was taken on the grasslands of Inner Mongolia."

Huang Zhifang flipped through the photos, and Dou Dou pointed at one of them, speaking in a childish voice.

"Ha ha."

Everyone in the room was amused by her innocent words.

"By the way, where's Fourth Sister? I can't find her."

At this moment, Li Yunshi looked around the room and, not seeing his fourth sister Li Yunlan, asked.

"Yunlan went back a few days ago. Yuanchao called to say that his mother is sick and bedridden, and he wants Yunlan to go back and take care of her."

Li Yunmei said.

"oh."

Li Yunshi nodded, indicating that he understood.

"Xiaolian, Yunmei, you two go to the kitchen to cook. It's just in time for the third brother's family to come back, so let's have a proper meal together."

At this moment, Huang Zhifang spoke up.

"Okay, I'll go right away."

Wang Xiaolian responded.

Actually, when Li Yunshan came back just now, she and Li Yunmei went out to prepare dinner in the kitchen.

It was fortunate that Li Yunshan and his family of three returned in time; otherwise, the rice and noodles would have been cooked, and they would have had to make an extra batch.

Because Li Yunshan and his family of three returned in time, they were spared the trouble of going through all that trouble.

……

After having dinner at my elder brother Li Yunshi's house, I returned home to find it completely dark.

DouDou didn't sleep all day and played at her older brother's house for a while. She was already tired and sleepy. Not long after returning home, she started asking to go to bed and fell asleep in no time.

Lin Xiulan took all the things she needed for the trip to the county town out of her bag, put them away neatly, and carefully put the beautifully crafted photo album into the cabinet.

Li Yunshan hugged her waist from behind.

"Did you have fun on your trip to the county town?"

"I'm happy, but it cost a lot of money, and I'm not used to it."

Lin Xiulan nodded.

On this trip to the county town, Li Yunshan basically spent all the money he and the other hunters in the village had earned from hunting in the mountains. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he spent money like water.

"Hehe, I'll definitely be more careful next time."

Li Yunshan smiled, chatted with Lin Xiulan for a while, and was just about to turn off the light and go to sleep when there was a series of urgent knocks on the door.

"Third brother, third brother, something terrible has happened!"
