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

Chapter 43: Into the Mountains with Hounds
"Dad, come back soon."

The little ones looked at Chen Weidong with their big round eyes, and then waved their little hands.

"it is good!"

Chen Weidong had just come out of the house. A cold wind was blowing at night, making him shrink his neck.

There was a moon in the sky, and it was not too dark outside. Soon Chen Weidong arrived at the gate of the village chief Wang Guofu's yard. He still had 12.2 yuan in his hand, and Chen Weidong planned to buy a 10-yuan one and keep the rest for backup.

In case any of the little ones get sick, we can prepare for the emergency.

Seeing that the kerosene lamp in the room was still on, he knocked on the door.

In Chen Weidong's impression, the village chief Wang Guofu is a very stingy person, but he is not a bad person and he loves money. If you want to borrow food from him, it will definitely be a lot of trouble, but it is not a problem to buy it with money.

"Who is it? It's late at night. Can't we wait until tomorrow to do it?"

Wang Guofu was lying on the kang with his head down, the kerosene lamp next to his pipe shining brightly above his head. His wife next to him had fallen asleep. Hearing a knock on the door, he reluctantly got up from the bed and put on his coat.

Wang Guofu opened the door and was stunned when he saw the person outside. Wasn't this Weidong? Why was he looking for him so late at night?

"It's Weidong, why are you looking for me so late?"

"Uncle Guofu, I want to buy a few dozen kilograms of food from you? Do you have any?"

"How many kilograms of food?"

Hearing this, Wang Guofu frowned. He knew Chen Weidong's family situation. With six children, how could he afford to buy food? If he had to borrow money, how could he have the nerve to borrow so much?

Wang Guofu also heard about Chen Weidong's hunting. Of course, he didn't think Chen Weidong could make money from this. In his opinion, Chen Weidong was not doing his job properly.

After all, prey is so easy to hunt, and anyone can go into the mountains to hunt? You have to know that there are only a few hunters in the entire Jiuqu Village! Not everyone can do this.

"Weidong, your uncle is telling you to go to the countryside and find a job. You..."

Seeing that Wang Guofu wanted to continue speaking, Chen Weidong directly took out a big unity from his pocket.

"Uncle, just tell me if you can buy it!"

Wang Guofu was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that Chen Weidong had so much money. Could it be that this kid Weidong really made a living from this?
"Yes, I can."

Wang Guofu did not hesitate at all.

"Weidong, I'm not saying anything to you, but if you have money, just take it out as soon as possible. I thought you were making fun of me!"

Wang Guofu laughed dryly twice and pulled Chen Weidong and said, "Weidong, why are you still standing there? It's so cold outside, come in quickly."

"Well, uncle, I want to buy ten yuan of coarse grains. What do you think about it at ten cents per pound?"

Chen Weidong said directly that if you buy it in the village, the price naturally cannot be the same as that at the grain station.

When Wang Guofu heard this, he had already done the math in his mind. Generally, coarse grains with shells would only make about 7 or 8 cents when sold to the grain station. If you add in the other items, it would be 1 cent per pound, so he would definitely make some profit.

"Weidong, the price he offered is very reasonable," Wang Guofu agreed without saying much.

Ten yuan for a hundred kilograms of coarse grain! After paying the money, Chen Weidong returned home carrying the grain.

At this moment, Liu Xueting was making cotton shoes under the kerosene lamp, while the six little ones were lying on the kang.

As soon as Wu Ni saw Chen Weidong coming back, she quickly crawled out of the bed with her naked butt.

"Don't catch a cold,"

Chen Weidong patted her butt and stuffed it back into her.

"Dad, let's sleep together!"

"Wait a minute, Dad is not done yet!" Then Chen Weidong went to the door and picked up a ball of straw to spread at the corner of the main room, intending to use it as a doghouse for Heihu temporarily, and then build a doghouse for Heihu in the yard tomorrow.

After all, it gets cold in the Northeast these days. After a while, the temperature will be minus 40 to 50 degrees Celsius.

"Xueting, aren't you asleep yet?" After Chen Weidong finished his work, he approached Liu Xueting.

"Wait until I'm done. Weidong, how are the shoes? This is Liuni's newly made pair."

Liu Xueting suddenly took out a pair of very cute little shoes and looked at Chen Weidong with her big eyes blinking, waiting for his answer.

That expression is exactly like the little ones, it's so adorable!

“Good looking~”

Chen Weidong's answer was not about shoes. After all, his attention was completely attracted by Liu Xueting at this moment.

Liu Xueting was also very happy to hear Chen Weidong's answer. The light yellow daisy looked really beautiful when used as shoe cloth.

Ever since she had children, the cloth used to make shoes for the little ones was cut from old clothes. No matter how good her craftsmanship is, it can't be that beautiful. What mother doesn't want to make her child happy?
But seeing Chen Weidong's straight look,

She couldn't help but cough: "Weidong, what are you looking at? Is there something on my face?"

"No~no,"

"What did you ask just now?"

"I asked you if the shoes look good~" Liu Xueting said speechlessly. Didn't she just talk about the shoes she made?

"Oh, so you're asking about shoes. I thought you were asking about... they look good, they look good."

Liu Xueting: “…”

Nothing happened that night. Early the next morning, after eating and feeding the dog, Chen Weidong began to build a doghouse for Lao Hei, and a few little guys also helped.

After cutting down trees and driving piles, the doghouse doesn’t need to be too big. There are nails and wire at home, so it’s easy to build.

It was not until the evening that Chen Weidong built the simple wooden doghouse and laid a layer of straw inside. Heihu could move in that night.

Then, three days passed in a flash.

Chen Weidong did not take Heihu to the mountains to hunt these days. You know, it is best to keep a newly bought dog at home for a few days.
Get familiar with the environment, develop some feelings, and then do some simple training.

Whenever Chen Weidong gave orders, Hei Hu would execute them immediately, which made him very satisfied.

However, what surprised Chen Weidong was that Heihu liked children very much. In the past few days, the little ones almost accepted this new member of the family and often played with Heihu.

"Si Ni, don't ride on the dog. Riding on the dog will block your crotch."

Chen Weidong was just thinking about it when he saw his daughter riding a black tiger and was speechless.

After breakfast,
This time, Chen Weidong planned to take Black Tiger for a stroll in the mountains.
Before entering the mountain, I tied my trouser legs with a strip of cloth. Then I loaded the magazine with bullets, pulled the bolt, and checked the gun in my hand again.
After the inspection, he put a slingshot and a knife on his waist, and then stuffed twenty bullets and mud balls into the small cloth bag.

After everything was ready, we set out with the dog on a leash.

The dog leash must not be released before entering the mountain or reaching the destination.

Otherwise, it is easy to be led astray by the dog.

Chen Weidong led Heihu out of the village and soon left the village and entered the forest.
