Forest Farm 1985: Raise a bear cub to climb the mountain

Chapter 194: The Pitfall (Two in One)

"Solitary testicle?!"

"What do you mean by arrogant? I said he was born with only one testicle!" Jiang Weiqin rubbed Erhan's head, with undisguised contempt in her eyes.

“Although it’s all old news, I still can’t help laughing when I think about it now.

I remember that I had just married here a few years ago, and you two were not even here yet. The conditions in Tuanjietun were poor at that time, so your uncle would take the small train that pulled wood from the forest farm every day, pack up meals from the factory, and come to eat with me and your father.

Thinking back now, life was really hard back then. We had nothing at home except a stove, and the chimney was leaking, which could never be fixed. If we didn’t add firewood before going to bed, we would wake up in the middle of the night from the cold. But if we added firewood, the kang would be too hot to sleep in the first half of the night…”

Dai Song grinned. This is how I am. Whenever I talk about the things that made me feel sad in the past, I always talk about other things and bring in other people’s personal opinions.

So he reminded her, but Jiang Weiqin rolled her eyes at him.
"Why are you in such a hurry? The talk is about to begin. Why can't you just sit beside me and listen quietly like Erhan?
Right, Xiao Erhan? "

As Jiang Weiqun spoke, she took another piece of golden steamed bread, put it to her lips to test the temperature, and then handed it to Erhan.

Erhan looked at Jiang Weiqin with his eyes rolling. Although he was making noises in his mouth, he was very frugal in eating.
It only took a small bite at each time, so it had only eaten half of the steamed bread slice given to it earlier.

At the same time, Dai Bai also rushed back from next door, followed by Tang Liping. As soon as she entered the house, she greeted Jiang Weiqun, snatched the jar of brown sugar from Dai Bai's hand, and went to the stove to start working.

"No need, Liping. I'm just scolding Baizi. Don't take it seriously. You're already a grown-up, but you're still like a kid. You eat fried steamed bread slices sprinkled with sugar!"

After that, he picked up his own brown sugar jar and continued what he had said before while sprinkling it.
"Your uncle often brought food from the factory to our house for dinner. I basically heard your uncle talk about all the big and small things in the factory during dinner.

At that time, the reform of social atmosphere was in full swing, and all the places that could openly perform were ordered to be closed.

The prostitutes inside were either arrested or escaped.
Those who escaped had no food to eat and could not show up.

I can only live in someone else's house and continue to do my old business in a different way."

"What's your specialty?" Dai Bo asked stupidly, but Tang Liping twisted his arm and he immediately became obedient.

"Then, I don't know who suggested it, but the idea spread throughout the forest farm. A group of people took the forest farm's train after work every day and wandered around the villages overnight. When it was almost dawn, they took the first train back to the forest farm."

Dai Bo had learned his lesson. He did not interrupt Jiang Weiqin's story. Instead, he asked Dai Song in a low voice,

"Songzi, what the hell is mom talking about?
What's going on? What's going on again?"

"It's just a trivial matter. It happened to the chickens in the villages before."

"Oh~ you're talking about the kiln chicken!
I remember when we were little, there were a few of them in the village!

At that time, most of the houses in Tunnan were still occupied, but some of the houses on the edges were dilapidated.
Those prostitutes would just roll up their bedding and move in. They wouldn’t patch up the holes in the walls, but would cover them with paper and then poke a few small holes in them with chopsticks.

Sleep during the day, light a light at night and imitate the cat's meow in the house.

Let me tell you, it was so exciting back then!
I didn't understand what was going on there at the time, but I kept hearing cats meowing, and I wondered if the mother cat had given birth and was in pain.

Then he found an opportunity and slipped out after dark, wondering if he could pick up a kitten to raise and catch some mice.

As a result, I saw Uncle Xiang, with his hands in his trousers, happily following an old lady into the house.
Then a cat's meow was heard in the house.

When I heard it, I was like, wow! She gave birth to kittens! I've never seen that before!
I hurried over to take a look, but the doors and windows were closed. I knocked on the door and shouted twice, but no one came out to open the door. There was also constant noise in the house. I was so anxious that I was worried that I would miss the newborn kitten.

Then, when I was most anxious, I found that there were several small holes in the paper on the wall that let in light!

I went over to take a look.

This is a great insight. My God, it’s so white and trembling…”

Dai Song looked at his sister-in-law who was standing behind Dai Bo with a gloomy face, and lit a candle for Dai Bo in his heart, then turned his attention to his mother.

"...Fatty Yuan always follows this group of people to other villages to have fun, and he is different from the others.

After shivering, people would come out, find a house or stay with relatives or fellow villagers for the night.

He can toss around with those prostitutes until dawn!"

Jiang Weiqin grinned, "The cost of doing it in one go is different from doing it until dawn.

Although factory workers have stable jobs, their monthly salary is only so much.

Moreover, among the group of people, only Fatty Yuan was willing to go through so much trouble.

After a few times of playing around, Fatty Yuan became famous.
Yuan Dapao, Yuan Gangdaner, Yuan Tieqiang, he has so many nicknames that it would take more than a week for him to call him by a different name.

Then something interesting happened.

Didn't we all work together during the day?
At that time, I had not been assigned to take care of the livestock. My daily task was to weed the fields with a group of old women.

Then I went to the team to do some light work like breaking corn,
A bunch of old ladies and young wives get together, and they just chat about everything.
Someone talked about a prostitute in her hometown.

It is said that the prostitute worked secretly in another village for a few months and actually scraped together enough money to settle down in their village!
You two don't know that although it wasn't an emergency at that time, we could already feel the signs.
The village and the production team had a lot to do. Under such circumstances, I couldn’t imagine how much the kiln sister contributed to my settling down in the village and finding a place to live.”

"Then what?" Dai Song was puzzled. "What does this have to do with Fatty Yuan?"

"Don't worry, just listen to me!"

Jiang Weiqin impatiently took a few slices of steamed bread and stuffed them into the two brothers' mouths, intending to cover their mouths. She then took another slice and handed it to Erhan.

The latter had already eaten a piece in each hand, and his eyes were narrowed from eating.

Now I got another piece, and I was so happy that I didn't know what to do.
Its little eyes rolled around, then suddenly lit up. It held two and a half pieces of steamed bread in its mouth, shook its head and crawled into the nest. It fumbled for a long time, probably finding it well hidden, then ran back happily, roaring at Jiang Weiqun.

"No more! Give it to me after you finish eating!" Jiang Weiqin pretended to be angry and tapped Erhan on the head.

The little bear pursed his lips and went back to his den in disappointment. He dug out the half piece of steamed bread again, but after taking two bites, his eyes started to twinkle again, completely without any trace of his previous loss.

Seeing this, Jiang Weiqin raised the corners of her mouth slightly and continued,

"After the brothel girl settled down, she naturally changed her ways.

I just want to find an honest man to marry.
It doesn't matter if she marries into the wife's family. She doesn't need anything anyway. She just needs a man to live with.

Then she actually found a real man, but not long after the marriage, her affair as a prostitute was exposed.

Just think about it, how quickly the news spread in the village! Once it was exposed, how could we live like this?

That guy was always being stabbed in the back by others. Even though he was the wife of a wealthy family, he couldn't stand this humiliation, so he fought with the prostitute every day.

As they fought, I don't know what the two were thinking, but one moment they went to the yard and talked everything out.

The prostitute said that she had eaten this bowl of rice in the past, but she didn't take many people, and most of the money was given by a fat man.
The fat man was also generous, always doing it for the whole night, but he never did any heavy work. He would just touch and look around until he was full.

The key is that the fat man always comes to her. After a while, the two of them have become familiar with each other when chatting about life at night.
Later, the fat man seemed to have let go, and she had saved enough money, so she decided to give her old customer a final reward, so she stopped charging him money and agreed to have a final, in-depth emotional exchange.

When the fat guy came, we found that he was not only drunk, but also had his pants off and his body was not in good shape!"

"What's wrong?" Dai Bai hadn't heard the first half, but was now so absorbed in the story that he asked quickly.

"It's just one egg! Others have a pair, but he has just one! It's hanging there all by itself!"

"What does that woman mean by bringing this up? It's meaningless. It's not like she hasn't done this and is clean." Tang Liping crossed her arms and looked disdainful.

"Hey~ Who knows her~ Anyway, when the man heard the details so clearly, his forehead was smoking and his eyes were red. He had a fierce fight with the prostitute in the yard, and left immediately after it was over.

This was a rare and exciting event, and it quickly spread to several surrounding villages.

Think about it, even if you were a worker at that time, you would have a stable salary, but it was only a small amount of money a month. If you were willing to spend all night playing, you couldn't even pay with one hand. And he was also said to be a fat man, so didn't it instantly make sense!
Moreover, just from what the prostitute said, we can analyze that Fatty Yuan is probably inferior and looking for confidence, otherwise why does he always go out with others? Isn't it just to show off!
The more you lack something, the more you want to express it.

You have to drink medicinal wine, and you spend money to stay up all night, doing nothing!
I really don't know where so much money comes from!" "Huh? Why is he rich? Didn't my uncle tell you?" Dai Song frowned.

"No, your uncle said that he and this guy always have a problem. But he is not a good person, incompetent, dishonest, and always harboring bad intentions. The leaders don't think highly of him, and he has only gained his current position through years of experience."

Dai Song nodded and told Jiang Weiqin about the club he had heard from his uncle at the meeting, which immediately caused Jiang Weiqin to exclaim in amazement.
"I was wondering! This guy is really something! Money was so valuable back then!

Look at how smart others are. They take money and marry into the family. The money in their hands can guarantee that they will not suffer any great injustice in the future.

He deserves it for still living in the forest farm dormitory!

Eh? Where is he going to live after he quits?

I heard that he later got married, with a family to support, and became a hooligan?"

"That's not our business! People who are mean will be punished by God. Who made him commit suicide?"

Jiang Weiqin nodded, then slapped her thigh, took out a plate, picked up a few slices of steamed bread, and walked to the main room.
"After talking for so long, why hasn't my precious granddaughter dressed herself and come out yet? Yingying~ hurry up, it's getting cold~"

Tang Liping also brought a plate and a bowl of pickled cabbage and diced radish, and followed Jiang Weiqin into the main room.

Dai Bai was still not satisfied, so he pulled Dai Song to the stove.
"Hey, Songzi, can an egg do it?"

"Yes, I guess it's just a little bit less. You may need to pay attention to your hormones and your daily routine. It won't be completely useless."

Dai Bo blinked his eyes. He could understand every word of the second half of the sentence, but he couldn't understand it when they were put together. Then he couldn't help but frown.

"Songzi, tell me, do you want me to have some wine later?"

"Do you still have the wine from before?"

"It's long gone. I mean to make some random jokes."

"Okay, let's not talk about the old sayings. When you're drunk, you're messy... Well, no, alcohol can also stimulate emotions. I guess Xiaowan has also talked to my sister-in-law about this. Don't eat too much later, and behave well when you go back!"

"Hey! Good!" Dai Bo was full of fighting spirit. After a few seconds, he continued, "Songzi, if you have a chance, you should come back to soak in the bathtub to do some work. I calculated with my fingers, and those roe deer fetuses are estimated to be ready soon. I'm afraid I won't be able to hold on by then."

"Okay!" Dai Song nodded. "After breakfast, I'll take Erhan out of the village and take a walk up the mountain."

As they talked, the two brothers leaned against the stove and ate the remaining steamed bread slices, one piece at a time.

At the same time, the forest farm dormitory.

Yuan Kai sat in the living room with a gray face, staring blankly at the sealed jar of old ginseng wine on the table.

Zhong Li wiped her tears while packing her belongings.
"Why am I so miserable, following someone like you! After all these years, you haven't achieved anything worthwhile!

Even if there is no improvement in work, no matter how badly your colleagues are doing, you are still a team leader!
My health is not good either. I’m only in my fifties, but I have so many problems!
I've never enjoyed a peaceful life since I followed you!

Now, all my jobs are gone!
I don’t know where to live. Why is my life so miserable? If I follow you…”

"Can you please stop nagging me? Let me think of a solution quietly!
Isn't this the end of the road?
I have no place to live, and I can’t live with my son? Can crying and whining solve the problem? "

"So what do you say, now what?!

You just insist on showing off and risking your job!
Now it's all right! They said we'll have a month to move out, so there's no rush, but I can't stay in this dorm for even a day!

Everyone who saw me covered their mouths and laughed!
I don’t know what they say behind my back!”

Yuan Kai closed his eyes and took a deep breath, his face full of impatience.
"I should have sent this jar of old ginseng wine directly to the factory director!
I could have helped to say something so that I wouldn't take it seriously. But the result is that I listened to you, a bitch, and didn't send it!"

Yuan Kai clapped his hands and turned sideways, "Well, the last chance is gone!"

"You're blaming me!

Don't you even look at who did this stupid thing?
How dare you blame me! "

"How can it not be your fault? I was going to discuss this matter with the factory manager! But you insisted..."

Yuan Kai became more and more excited as he spoke. Under the huge gap and extreme anger, Zhong Li finally lost her temper and rushed towards Yuan Kai screaming, and soon scratched more than a dozen bloody marks on his face.

"Ahh! Yuan Kai, do you have any conscience?! Don't you see who I am doing this for?"

"You're a rebellious woman, aren't you? I..."

dong dong dong-

A knock on the door interrupted the quarrel between the couple. Yuan Kai was panting heavily.

"Who!"

The young man outside the door should be from the dispatch team. "If you have a phone call, call Shisongtun."

"Oh! Here it comes!"

Yuan Kai pushed Zhong Li away, smoothed his messy hair, and wiped his face with a towel.

The cut on my face suddenly felt hot and painful. When I left the dormitory and the cold wind blew, the wound began to twitch and soon became itchy and swollen. I estimated that I would get a lot of frostbite in two days.

After finally arriving at the dispatching team's "territory", the people around saw Yuan Kai's embarrassed look and immediately covered their mouths and laughed.

"Hey! Why are you so embarrassed?"

"That's just what he did! He has to go against our leader. The key is that our leader is really powerful!"

"I've been fed up with him for a long time. He's nothing, but he pretends to be something important all day long."

"That's right!"

……

Yuan Kai had a gloomy face and walked all the way to Jiang Haohan's office amid everyone's murmurs.

After careful consideration, he pursed his lips and whispered, "Well... let me make a phone call..."

"Oh, sure, come on, sit down!"

Jiang Haohan had a calm expression and received Yuan Kai as usual.

Yuan Kai picked up the receiver and was about to dial the number, but he stopped and looked at Jiang Haohan.
"Old Jiang, I want to talk about something personal. Could you please step aside for a moment?"

"Private matter? What private matter did Zheng Xiaojian from Shisongtun tell you?"

Jiang Haohan had a playful look on his face. Seeing Yuan Kai's face quickly darken, he smiled.

"Okay, I'll go next door, but Lao Yuan, I still have to remind you, please be more careful."

After that, Jiang Haohan stood up and walked out of the office. Yuan Kai closed his eyes, his cheek muscles bulged again and again, his face quickly turned red, then purple, and finally his head trembled slightly. After a while, he trembled and dialed the phone.
Zheng Xiaojian's voice sounded on the other end of the phone:
"Hello? Is that Lao Yuan?!"

"Yes, Lao Zheng, it's me."

"Old Yuan! What's going on? I heard you're quitting? What's going on?
It’s only been a few days, and Dai Song has already completed the task?!”

There was a long silence on the other end of the phone. After a minute, Yuan Kai seemed to have recovered and said vaguely,

"Old Zheng, you really screwed me over..."
