Reborn in the 1980s: I made my fortune hunting wild game in Changbai Mountain

By the time Yue Feng took Wang Xiaona back to Xing'an Village, it was already afternoon. The two of them drove back on a tractor with the truck bed full of "trophies".

In recent days, because of the existence of the first color TV in Xing'an Village, Yue Feng's house has already become a new intelligence base on the back street.

Even the villagers who had little contact with the Yue family in previous years became very respectful in order to come to Yue Feng's house to watch TV.

Yue Feng's father Yue Lei and mother Meng Yulan now have such high status in the village that they can almost walk around with their heads held high. Wherever they go, villagers and acquaintances treat them with respect and give them enough face.

As soon as the tractor drove into the yard, the villagers who were watching TV in the house swarmed out and surrounded it.

"Xiao Feng, you and your wife went to the city? What good things did you buy?"

"Oh, is this wedding candy for office use? Why did you buy so much?"

"There are cloth and ready-made clothes, all right! You are going to sweep the city!"

Yue Feng didn't mind these villagers who were trying to curry favor with the powerful. It was something that was inevitable when living in the village.

At that moment, he opened a bag of loose hard candy and responded with a smile: "I bought some wedding candy for my wedding. Since everyone is here, everyone can have a taste first! Don't rush, everyone has a share!"

As he spoke, Yue Feng grabbed a handful of wedding candy and handed it to a child on the back street.

When the others saw that there was candy to eat, they became even more excited and all came over.

People are in high spirits when good things happen. Yue Feng didn't think much about it. He just reached out and grabbed a handful. In a short while, the bag of candy was divided into seven or eight pieces.

"Okay, okay, I'll send it out on the wedding day! Everyone, please make way. I have to unload the truck!"

After taking the candy, everyone consciously made way.

Several villagers who wanted to lend a hand were stopped by Yue Feng, who only asked his hunting team members to help move the supplies on the truck bed to the temporary storage room on the west side.

By the time all the supplies were in order, the sky gradually darkened.

"I'm really sorry, guys. I have something to do tonight, so I can't watch TV for the time being! Please come back tomorrow. Thank you for your cooperation!!"

After saying hello, Yue Feng turned off the TV. Then the villagers in the house dispersed reluctantly and went back to their homes.

Xiao Tao and the three brothers Xiaowen and Xiaowu did not leave. They must have something to do after clearing out the ordinary villagers. These people have been with Yue Feng for a long time and have already figured out Yue Feng's style of doing things.

After everyone left, Yue Feng simply closed the door and gathered all the members of the hunting team together.

"Brother, do you have anything else to arrange?" Xiaowen asked with a grin.

Yue Feng nodded: "Yes! I've been a bit excited recently. Apart from basic delivery, I rarely let my eagles go out!
You should have had a good rest now. There are still about ten days until the eighth day of next month, so you will have to endure the hardship for a few days!
Our restaurant's wild game reserves have probably been almost used up, so we need to prepare some more!
In addition, on the day of my wedding, we will have a buffet at home and we will need some game to top it off!

We need to prepare more Huangjing wild boar meat, long-tailed pheasant, and frogs in the bubble!"

Xiao Tao grinned after hearing this: "It's just some wild game, easy! If we have nothing to do one day, we can just go into the mountains and catch some! They are easy to get!"

"Yes, we will go into the mountains tomorrow. It won't take many trips to get everything back! But the motorcycle is not at home, so it will take some time to transport it back!"

Yue Feng: “It’s not much farther if you just drive the tractor up the mountain!

If you have nothing else to do, then let's leave early tomorrow! The sooner the better, there will be many trivial matters before the wedding!"

"Okay, we'll go up the mountain tomorrow!"

……

Yue Feng held a hunting team meeting with his hunting team mates, and the plan to go into the mountains tomorrow was decided.

The wild game on the table had all been caught more than once before. For the powerful Yue family hunting team, they could basically catch them whenever they wanted, with little uncertainty.

Over the next few days, the members of the Yuefeng Hunting Team went out early and returned late every day, going to familiar resource points to catch all kinds of game.

Long-tailed pheasants, flying dragon birds, and fat female leopards in the gourd water pools. In addition to the game reserves for the hotel, a large portion was left extra for the family, prepared according to the standard of thirty tables, no more, no less.

Time can be described as passing by in a flash.

To hold a wedding in the countryside and make it look grand, the process can be described as complicated. In that era, supplies were scarce, and there were no wedding shops like today where you can buy everything in one place.

Sometimes, even if you just want to buy a few pieces of red wedding paper to wrap red envelopes, you have to make a separate trip to the supply and marketing cooperative.

As the items in the plan list were purchased and prepared bit by bit, the wedding date was getting closer.

After entering the twelfth lunar month, on the fourth day of the first lunar month, Yue Feng led his friends into the mountains, and using dogs and falcons, they captured three sows weighing more than 200 kilograms alive at the Huangjing wild boar 'resource point' on the other side of Tiger Leaping Cliff.

The next day, we went into the mountains and brought back two more sika deer alive!

At this point, the ingredients for the super luxurious banquet on the wedding day are ready, and they can be slaughtered and cooked on the wedding day.

Yue Feng took advantage of the important event of marriage to sort out all his social relationships.

Yue Feng didn't think about it and didn't take it seriously until he made the phone calls and notified everyone one by one that he realized it.

Unconsciously, he had established very close relationships with Xing'an Village, Lianhua Township, Hongxing Forest Farm, Hongqi Coal Mine, and even with the middle and senior leaders of Fengcheng, Uncle Wu of Tiecheng, and the young masters of Yanjing.

The phone calls were made one after another, and the phone number of Xing'an Village Office almost became Yue Feng's exclusive line.

Finally, after more than ten days of careful preparation, the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month arrived.

Starting early in the morning, the new and old houses of the Yue family were crowded with people as soon as it got light.

They set off firecrackers and called for help. Nearly twenty villagers, including sisters-in-law, aunts, and grandmothers, came to help.

To mince the meat and make dumplings, the side room in the yard was also used. A shed was built with plastic sheeting one day in advance.

On the rack at the base of the south wall, two wild boars were slaughtered and cut into pieces on the spot. The venison and roe deer were also deboned and the meat was removed for immediate use.

The main battlefield of the wedding is in the hometown village, so Master Niu and his two younger apprentices are mainly responsible for this side, while the hotel side is left to the older apprentice to stabilize for the time being.

There was no shortage of other villagers who came to help, and the huge yard was crowded with people.

Yue Feng also arranged for someone to drive over and pick up the relatives from his grandmother's side in advance, so that they could have fun together on the wedding day.

Before I knew it, half the morning had passed.

At ten o'clock, Yue Feng, wearing a brand new Zhongshan suit, went to Wang Xiaona's house with a group of people who came to pick up the bride.

After the ceremony and rules were completed, the bride in a red wedding dress came to the main battlefield of the bridal chamber.

Less than half an hour before the formal wedding ceremony, the huge convoy entered Xing'an Village.

The Mining Bureau's cars, the coal mine's cars, the Forestry Bureau's second-in-command's car, the armed forces' car with a red background and white letters, and even a Beijing-licensed car, plus a Jiefang truck loaded with a lot of supplies, all went straight to Yue Feng's new home in a mighty procession.

Cars were parked from the doorstep all the way to the side of the street, filling up half of the back street.

Afterwards, various leaders of various relationships walked into the courtyard while greeting each other. Soon, the gentleman in charge of keeping the gift account at the gate of the courtyard was stunned by the wedding account in front of him.

For an ordinary family, three or five yuan is not a small amount as a gift for a wedding.

The big guys who came later started with 100 yuan. Wang Hu and Jianjun, who had families, gave 1,000 yuan each. Jinlong and Xiaojun, who were young and not married, gave 2,000 yuan each.

In a short while, more than half a thousand yuan was collected in gift money alone.

As the groom, Yue Feng certainly couldn't take the time to entertain these distinguished guests personally, but the two sons of Uncle Chen came, and Uncle Zhao at the village head also asked his sons to help.

It is easier to get things done with more people, from receiving guests, verifying their identities, guiding them to their seats, and unloading supplies from the car, everything is arranged in an orderly manner.

The military brother outside promised to pay for cigarettes and alcohol for Yue Feng's wedding, and he directly used a Jiefang brand truck to bring half a truckload of supplies.

There were two large boxes of cigarettes for internal supply, and dozens of boxes of ordinary version of Moutai liquor that had not been unpacked.

There were more Coca-Cola cans and white pear juice drinks in glass bottles wrapped in quilts.

These things, let alone cigarettes and alcohol, are hard to buy even if you have money but no tickets.

Even canned Coca-Cola is a scarce commodity in the capital.

It is difficult to buy through general channels, and only certain foreign-related places such as Friendship Stores supply it.

But today, at the wedding banquet in Yue Feng’s hometown, it was served so magnificently at the buffet reception table.

It was almost noon, and it was the auspicious day and time for the wedding ceremony.

The endless row of red firecrackers on the avenue in front of the entrance were lit one after another, and the entire back street of Xing'an Village became a sea of ​​firecrackers.

There's not much to say about the wedding ceremony. It was quite traditional, not as elaborate as what happened later. It was nothing more than the wedding ceremony and a few small games.

After the wedding ceremony is over, the wedding host shouts, all the distinguished guests, relatives, friends, elders and villagers take their seats, and the feast begins!!

Over at the open-air stove, pots of various ingredients began to enter the preparation stage, and pot after pot of meaty dishes were served on the table.

The distinguished guests and elders were guided and arranged to stay in the north room of the new house. They could drink Moutai liquor and smoke special cigarettes as much as they wanted. Those who brought their children were also offered various drinks.

At that time, there was no such thing as packing up for a banquet. The meal was served in a continuous stream, and whatever was ready was served. After the meal, the plates were cleared away and new ones were served.

Except for the specially arranged guests, everyone else will leave after eating and drinking to be replaced by the next group.

Ordinary villagers had never seen such splendid growth. The whole pot of braised pork was brought to the table with its tops bulging.

There were two wild boars hanging on the poles outside, and whole roe deer and sika deer were also available.

Yue Feng and his wife Wang Xiaona, since the wedding ceremony, have been holding wine glasses and toasting with relatives and friends at each table.

Xiao Tao and brothers Xiao Wen and Xiao Wu followed closely beside him.

When they actually arrived at the scene, many local leaders who had a good relationship with Yue Feng and came to the wedding banquet realized that this seemingly young man they knew actually had such great power.

Among those who came to my hometown in person to attend the wedding, many were either rich or noble, but these local leaders had no idea of ​​their true background.

Moutai and special-supply cigarettes can be made at will, with such a grand ceremony, even if the children of the city’s top leaders get married, it is estimated that the maximum amount of money would be spent on them.

When Yue Feng came to the table of the young masters from Beijing with a glass of wine, Ye Jianjun sat in the first seat and raised his glass towards Yue Feng.

"Xiao Feng, today is your big day. On behalf of the brothers, I would like to toast you and wish you and your sister-in-law an everlasting marriage, a long life together, and a son soon!"

Yue Feng also raised his glass and filled it up: "Thank you, Brother Jun and all the brothers for your support!! There is no limit on the amount of drinking today, drink as much as you want! If you get drunk, stay here. There are blankets at home, and we can sleep on the big kang!! "

Wang Hu also stood up with his wine glass in hand: "We sleep on the kang, you can't! You are willing, but my sister-in-law is not willing, brothers, don't you agree?"

"Hahahaha!" There was a sudden burst of laughter at the table.

Ye Jianjun drank the wine in his glass in one gulp, looked down at the time on his watch and said with a smile: "I also prepared a big gift for you, I guess it should be here soon!!"

"What else?"

"It must be a good thing! Today is a double happiness! Let me keep you in suspense for now, it will definitely arrive before noon!"

Just before one o'clock, just before half past twelve, I heard the sound of gongs and drums getting closer and closer on the street outside.

"Here they come! Let's go out to meet them!" Ye Jianjun was the first to stand up, followed by the others.

Soon, two soldiers in military uniforms arrived at the door of the new house carrying a door plaque with a red silk ribbon, followed by a gong and drum band.

On the plaque, there were six large characters written in golden font.

Model of contribution to national defense!

"Brother Jianjun, this is..."

Seeing this grand ceremony and plaque, Yue Feng was stunned for a moment.

"Haha! This is an honorary award from our army for your special contribution reported last time!

Why don't you bring the honorary plaque inside? There are leaders giving speeches here! ! "

"Oooo!"

Yue Feng reacted and immediately led the soldiers and staff at the door into the house.

Afterwards, the soldier leader, who was wearing a mid-level military rank, read out the honorary awards given by the army in front of the guests and congratulated Yue Feng.

Now, I can receive such a precious honor on my wedding day, it is really a double happiness!
"Thank you for sending me here from so far away, brother soldiers. Don't be in a hurry to leave, have a couple of glasses of light wine! Xiaowen, find a place for me!"

"okay!"

……

The buffet wedding banquet was still going on, and the gong and drum team at the door was beating hard. Today, Yue Feng, representing the Yue family, had completely stood up in Xing'an Village!
Yue Feng was so high that he didn't know how much alcohol he drank.

The people in front of me changed one after another, and the wine glasses were empty and filled again in the blink of an eye.

When I feel uncomfortable in my stomach, I drink a sip of cold water and go to the thatched cottage. After I vomit the wine, I come back again.

The sun was high in the sky outside from noon until sunset, and Yue Feng was drunk.

When Yue Feng woke up again, all the guests in the house had left.

She was covered with a red wedding quilt, and on the kang sat a bride with a red veil.

Yue Feng rubbed his eyes and sobered up instantly. (End of this chapter)
