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

Chapter 70: This hammer only weighs three taels? (11000 words, monthly vote requested)
The father and daughter walked out of the house with the dog.

It was already late at night and tiny snowflakes were falling from the sky, as if covering up all the sounds between heaven and earth.

"Dad~ wear a hat~"

Yingying raised her little arms and shook herself to take off her grandfather's Lei Feng hat.

Dai Song's eyes were bent with laughter. He quickly helped his daughter put on her hat, breathed a little, and put her on the snow.
"Good boy Yingying, Dad doesn't need it, we will be back soon."

"Good~"

"Yingying, are you scared?" He held his daughter's hand and pointed at the black bear in the distance.

The little girl wanted to raise her head, but her face was completely covered by the large and heavy Lei Feng hat. She quickly stretched out her little hand to push up the brim of the hat, and smiled with two rows of small teeth.
"Don't be afraid, I have a dad."

What a rare little cotton-padded jacket!
I wish time would go slower so I could accompany my daughter as she grows up.

"Then let's go forward together and see if the little flower mushroom will be okay?"

"Xiaohuadu, you can bite, bite, bite!" Xiaoyingying walked forward, waving her short hands excitedly.

as predicted.

Huagu, who was originally following the little girl, arched his back, bared his teeth and stood up when he saw the black bear not far away.
In just a blink of an eye, it stood horizontally in front of the little girl, separating the two with its slender and thin body.

Good dogs protect their masters!

Dai Song's eyes suddenly brightened; how big was the flower mushroom? It had never seen a black blind before, so not only was it not afraid, it even dared to go straight forward!
The father and daughter tried to approach the black bear slowly again.

Seeing this, Huagu, who was originally standing between her and the black bear, immediately adjusted his body shape.
It pointed its head toward the black bear and its tail toward Xiao Yingying. It bared its teeth and barked at the black bear even more fiercely.
It roared out clouds of mist from the depths of its throat, like a pair of tender but firm fists, constantly hitting the black bear.

"Dad~ Huadu is calling! It's calling!"

"Yes! The little flower mushroom is protecting Yingying."

Hearing Dai Song say this, the little girl smiled even more and her steps became lighter.

Huagu sensed the little girl's movement and stopped barking. Instead, he shot towards the black bear like an arrow, bit its one ear and began to tear it apart frantically.

"Dad~"

Xiao Yingying was picked up by Dai Song. She turned slightly and pointed at Huagu and looked at Dai Song, "Huadu~ Awesome~"

"Well, the little flower mushroom is really powerful."

Dai Song commented sincerely that the flower mushroom gave him such a huge surprise.

You know, animals in nature have a reverence instinct that far exceeds their own.

The more powerful they are, the stronger the awe is. This is why Dai Song made the decisive decision to raise his hands when he failed to recognize the waiter who stole the club.

As long as you make yourself look bigger, you can take a lot of initiative and advantage.

But the flower mushroom did not have this fear, or rather, its loyalty to the little girl helped it overcome this fear.

Seeing Dai Song grinning, Xiao Yingying followed suit. Perhaps because she felt that she was not learning well enough, she even used her two little hands to "help".
Poke the corner of the mouth and make the little mouth curl up into the same shape as Dai Song's.

The father and daughter looked at each other in the snow and laughed even more happily.

…………

As daylight dawned, Dai Song walked out of the house with his things.

Last night Nan Chunwan deliberately prepared a large cloth bag and a cloth bag for him.

The cloth bag is thin and flat, square in shape, and is used to hold the mallet. It can be hidden inside a cotton jacket.

The cloth bag was given to Dai Song to store badger skins and bear paws. In order to prevent the cloth bag from being punctured by the claws, Nan Chunwan specially sewed a layer of lining inside it with an old woven bag.

Because after the couple had sex, Dai Song said that he would bring a lot of money back for her to count tomorrow, so Nan Chunwan got up early today and sewed a deep secret pocket for him inside his pants.

Arriving at Xie Shubao's yard, I saw Xie Shubao still wearing a worn-out cotton-padded jacket.
Dai Song pretended to be surprised.

"Hmm? Where's the coat you gave me yesterday? Why aren't you wearing it?"

"I gave it to my mother. Last time she refilled my clothes with cotton, but her own clothes are still stiff..." Xie Shubao's eyes looked a little nervous.

Dai Song smiled and patted his shoulder. "Okay, have you packed everything? If so, let's go find Wang Tu Douzi."

"OK OK!"

Xie Shubao immediately put down the hairy woven bag on his shoulder, looked around twice, and after making sure that there was no problem, he followed Dai Song and rode on Wang Tudouzi's tractor all the way to the town.

When we arrived at the hotel, it was already completely bright.

Dai Song estimated that Xie Shubao had a lot of things to buy, so he made an appointment with Wang Tu Douzi to pick him up at the entrance of the State-owned Hotel at 1 p.m. and settle the taxi fare at that time.

Wang Tu Douzi shook his head. He didn't want to take Dai Song's money.

But when Dai Song said that his aunt wouldn't be upset after he took the money back, he immediately changed his tone. While he kept saying that she was rebelling, he did not mention the matter of not taking the money.

Because Xie Shubao was a stranger, and besides the mallet, there was nothing else in his bag that Jiang Zhanhua needed.

Dai Song asked Shanzi to find a place for him to rest in the corner of the hall and wait for him.

He took the hammer that Xie Shubao had given him and quickly walked into Jiang Zhanhua's office.

Jiang Zhanhua was reading a newspaper. When he saw Dai Song coming, he hurried to make tea. His first question was the same as always: "Do you have any tea, Brother Songzi?"

Dai Song smiled and explained that the season had passed and they had to wait until next year. Jiang Zhanhua instantly wilted and kept regretting not leaving more for himself.

Fortunately, Dai Song then took out a row of hammers and a pair of bear paws, and his sad mood was instantly diluted by great surprise.

After all, Dai Song only said there was a mallet, but he didn't say there were so many, especially the big "eight taels" inside.

Jiang Zhanhua weighed it in his hand and smiled happily. He sat back in his chair holding it and couldn't let it go.

"You call this three taels?! Songzi, you've learned bad things. What if I don't have enough money prepared today? You almost made me buy on credit!"

"Isn't this just to give Brother Jiang a surprise?" Dai Song said with a smile.

Although Jiang Zhanhua had explained in advance that the purchase price would return to normal in the future, Dai Song was not sure whether what he called normal was just his opinion.

The quantity caught Jiang Zhanhua off guard. If he was pretending to be righteous, he would be exposed because of his misjudgment when calculating the price.

"Haha!" Jiang Zhanhua put down the hammer and took out a box from the drawer.

After opening it, Dai Song was stunned by the huge pile of money inside—a full 10,000 yuan! !
Then comes the weighing of goods and settlement of bills.

Although Jiang Zhanhua said that he could only sell at a normal price,
But probably because he was worried that the price was too low, Dai Song would not be afraid of trouble and personally take the mallet to the mallet market to try his luck.

So in the end, we still gave a relatively high price.

Excluding the big eight-liang stick, the other fourteen sticks were sold for 2820 yuan, and the big eight-liang stick was sold at a high price of 850 yuan.

Dai Song briefly pondered over it.
Based on his understanding of the price of mallets, if this mallet was not sent to the mallet market to be sold at a price quote, it would be around six or seven hundred yuan.

Bangchui Market is a unique market in Northeast China. It is called a market, so you can imagine how chaotic it is.

In such a mixed environment, he went to the market with such a big mallet in his hand. He really didn't know whether he was going to sell the mallet or give it away.

After figuring this out, Dai Song readily agreed.

Jiang Zhanhua was overjoyed. He weighed the bear paw again and finally gave a high price of 300.

This really made Dai Song very happy, and he immediately asked about the furniture he had inquired about before.

Jiang Zhanhua poured him a cup of tea.

"Songzi, I've looked into all this for you, but I don't know if you still remember what we talked about last time on the phone. A leader is coming."

Dai Song's heart sank. "Brother Jiang, do you mean that we can't get it recently?"

"Yeah." Jiang Zhanhua nodded. "But it's not that I can't get everything. I looked around and the only things I can get are bicycles, watches and radios. For the others, I have to wait until the leader leaves. Secondly, it depends on fate. You know, these things are in short supply..."

Dai Song nodded, feeling a little disappointed for a moment, and asked helplessly,
"So when are the leaders leaving, Brother Jiang? Is that convenient for you to tell me?"

"What's so inconvenient about this? If you didn't ask, I would have to remind you. I've heard Shanzi say it several times. Your daughter is very cute."

Dai Song was stunned. "What? Shanzi doesn't have a son, so he wants me to let my daughter marry his son in the future, right?!"

Dai Song became alert instinctively. It is the nature of every old father to protect his own cabbage.

Jiang Zhanhua burst out laughing.
"What are you thinking about, Songzi? I want to say that the reason why the superiors came here is because human traffickers have become rampant recently. I heard from Shanzi that you have a precious daughter, so I want to remind you to ask your family to keep a close eye on her."

Dai Song felt like being squatted by a sow, taking off and falling, falling and taking off again.

"Thank you, Brother Jiang! I will tell my family when I get home, and I will also tell the village chief and ask him to help spread the word."

"Hmm~" Jiang Zhanhua nodded, and then pointed at the bear's paw, "Actually, I want to thank you. If it weren't for your bear's paw, how could our place get such an opportunity? Their first stop is here. You can find out the movements of such a big leader. You are really well-informed!"

Dai Song smiled mysteriously. He was just lucky, so he skipped the topic and said, "Brother Jiang, you just said you could get a watch, a bicycle, and a radio. Can we get these things today?"

"Of course." Jiang Zhanhua took a sip of tea. "Do you want a bicycle too? It's hard to ride outside now. Don't go back and your sister-in-law will see that your butt is bruised and blame me."

"No, no," Dai Song explained hastily. The more he listened to this, the more strange it seemed. "I have an appointment with the tractor driver in the village. He will pick me up here at 1 pm. So there is nothing to be afraid of."

"Oh, that's fine. Then I'll do it for you now?"

"Well, Brother Jiang, can you get me an extra watch? Also, can you get me another coat? My coat was scratched by this black bear, and I haven't dared to let my family know. If possible, can you scratch two pieces of glass? The glass at my friend's house is broken."

"No problem, I'll pack it all for you to take back before you go back!" Jiang Zhanhua agreed immediately, then narrowed his eyes and showed a very understanding smile, "The watch is for your sister-in-law, right?!"

Dai Song scratched the back of his head, and the two smiled at each other.

……

After taking the money, Dai Song returned to the first floor lobby.

Xie Shubao, who was sitting in the corner, looked like the stone lions at the door in later generations. When he saw Dai Song, he immediately ran over with his bag on his shoulder as if he saw a savior.

"Song...Brother Song."

"What's the matter?" Dai Song was happy and rubbed Xie Shubao's head. "It's normal to be panicked. Come here more often and you won't be panicked anymore."

"Uh-huh."

"Let's go? Let's go out first?"

"it is good!"

After the two of them left the restaurant, Dai Song took Xie Shubao to a black market alley nearby.

It's a nice place here, and there's no one around even in this cold weather, which is perfect for them to split the money.

Dai Songang looked around in the alley for a while and made sure that there was no one there. Then he reached behind his butt and took out a thick stack of bills.

Xie Shubao's eyes widened and his saliva started to flow out.

"Hey! Damn, we've only just started!"

"Whoa whoa!"

Dai Song was too lazy to explain how much money there was and how it was made up. He just counted out half of it and handed it to Xie Shubao.
"Here, here's 1835 yuan. We'll go to the state-owned store and buy some badger skins. That way we can round it up to an even number."

Xie Shubao lowered his head and didn't take it.

"What's wrong?" Dai Song poked Xie Shubao's shoulder with his money, "Don't complain to me."

Xie Shubao said nothing and kept his head down.

Dai Song frowned, thinking of what Xie Shubao had done and said a few days ago;

If it is just a matter of character that he is grateful and willing to take the initiative to suffer losses, then that makes sense. After all, Xiao Shubao has always been like this.
But what did he say about leaving the money with me and giving it to me when I need it...

And when I went to see him yesterday, he was propped up with something heavy behind the door. It was obvious that he was hiding from someone, and it was someone very close to him!
"Little Bookbag, tell me the truth, are you being targeted by someone?"

“Ah?” Xie Shubao hurriedly shook his head, “No, no, Brother Song, you misunderstood!”

"Tell me the truth." Dai Song handed the money to Xie Shubao again, but he still refused to take it.

"No...Brother Song, I'm fine, but...I just don't dare to keep so much money around."

"why?"

“……”Xie Shubao was silent for a long time.

Dai Song sighed and stuffed the money back into his butt silently.

"Well, then, just ask me when you need it, otherwise I will give you a certain amount every month."

"Uh-huh!"

"You can't give me back the money from selling the badger skins, right? You treat me as a piggy bank. Besides, you will have to buy something to bring back, right? I do, even if you don't find it troublesome to go back and forth."

"Oh, then I'll keep the money myself?" Xie Shubao was nervous and insisted on speaking. The two badger skins cost nearly two hundred yuan!

He had never seen so much money!

"I'm sure you'll keep it yourself." Dai Song patted the back of Xie's head. "Let's go to the store, and then find a place to eat something to fill our stomachs!"

"......Yeah!" Xie Shubao was stunned for a moment, then quickly caught up with Dai Song.

Relying on Dai Song's memory, the two quickly arrived at the state-owned store.

Because it was cold and early, there were not many people in the store. Only the dazzling array of merchandise caught people's attention.

Dai Song took Xie Shubao around the store and finally found the fur counter.

There was only a female clerk behind the counter with her head down, doing something unknown. Various leather scrolls and boxes were neatly arranged in front of her.

As Dai Song approached, he saw her hastily put away the palm-sized notebook, looked up in panic and said:

"What?!"

Dai Song grinned and had a strange temper, but he was not surprised.
After all, this is a stable job, the salary is higher than that of ordinary workers, and most importantly, it is decent, so it is normal to be a little greedy.

Dai Song didn't bother to argue with the woman. He pointed to a roll of badger skin on the counter and asked, "How do you take this?"

"The males are about 70, and the females are about 50."

The little backpack next to him made a faint sound, and the clerk heard it and frowned.
"Size, brightness, hair density, you don't understand your skin?"

"Why don't you ask clearly?" Dai Song frowned and slammed the bag on the counter, scaring the female clerk back.

"Little schoolbag, take out the skin too."

Upon hearing this, Little Schoolbag immediately put his bag on the ground, lowered his head and took out two rolls of badger skin.

The last time Dai Song pointed out the problem of too much meat sticking to the skin, he tore the dry meat off the skin bit by bit, and then spent a lot of effort to soften the skin bit by bit.

So the five badger skins that Dai Song took out were all dry, and even made a popping sound when knocked, while his fur was almost completely processed, soft and smooth, and could basically be used directly.

This made the female clerk's eyes light up. She was the first to take the two rolls of badger skin from Xie Xuebao, flattened them, and took out a leather measuring tape to measure them.

"These two rolls are very clean, and they are both male. They are 160 yuan."

Xie Shubao raised the corners of his mouth, waiting expectantly to find out the price of Dai Song's rolls of badger skins.

It turned out that three of the five skins were female, and they were only given simple processing, and finally sold for only 290.

After taking the money, Dai Song kept winking at Xie Shubao. After leaving the store, the two found another alley nearby. Dai Song then said,

"What's your habit of always putting this good thing in your crotch?"

If he hadn’t stopped Xie Shubao in time just now in the store.

“Ah?” Xie Shubao put the money in his pocket and shook it. “Close…close…ah”

"What are your pockets for?"

Xie Shubao silently took out a sack from his cotton-padded jacket pocket, then another sack from his trouser pocket, and then another sack from...

"...Okay, okay, it's okay, let's find a place to eat something first." Dai Song said as he stuffed the money behind his butt. His butt was very perky, and it was not as good-looking as the ones in later generations that people put a bottle of water on it. At least he could put a hot water bottle on it.

The two men walked out of the alley and inevitably encountered the problem that multiple men would face when they were stuck together - what to eat later?
Xie Shubao thought that it was better to be cautious when going out. He behaved as disciplined as always and showed his ambition for the first time. He suggested that they find a stall to buy some steamed buns and then eat them in the alley. They would not be choked by the wind and could squat to rest. It was really cool just thinking about it.

Dai Song refused righteously. It was a rare trip for him and he had made so much money, so what was wrong with having a good meal?
He strolled around several streets with Xie's backpack, and was almost overwhelmed by the choices.
Finally, we stopped at a noodle shop with green paint and red windows, which looked very secluded, and in front of a steamed bun stand next to it.

"Damn, they're so expensive! Who owns the noodle shop next door? A bowl of noodles costs only one dollar!" Dai Song still thinks he must have seen it wrong.

Xie Shubao was standing beside him, holding a big meat bun in both hands, eating with stars in his eyes.

"Boss, you must be making a lot of money with your stall here, right?" Dai Song glanced at the man who was rolling out dough.

"Yeah! Most of them are like you two, they went in for a look around and came out praising my buns for being affordable and delicious!"

"Of course not!" Dai Song bit off the meat filling. "Who are the people eating noodles in there? How can they afford such an expensive bowl of noodles?"

"Who knows?" The man rolled out the dough and started making buns quickly.

His technique is skillful and has an inexplicable visual beauty.

Apply a layer of flour on both sides of a palm-sized piece of dough. Use two fingers of your right hand to pinch and twist the dough, and it will smoothly slide into the palm of your left hand.

In the enamel basin next to it was the prepared filling, covered with a white rag and a small quilt.

Because it is next to the steamer, the filling is always kept at the optimal temperature by the heat, so as soon as the quilt is lifted, the aroma of the meat will be wrapped in wisps of hot air and hit you in the face.

The man scraped the stuffing with a round spoon, tapped it on the leather in the palm of his left hand and shook it.
The fillings are neatly wrapped in the skin, like a piece of naan.
Use the thumb and middle finger of your left hand to pinch the dough, and then coordinate both hands to gather the dough one after another, pinching out delicate folds, and a bun is ready.

The man had already sensed the gazes of the two men. After making a bun, he raised his head proudly.
The next moment his face changed drastically!
"Fuck! Bro! What is that guy behind you doing to your butt?!"

Dai Song was shocked, he felt nothing at all!
Thanks to Shubao for his quick response.

At the moment when the man was about to run, Xie Shubao had already stepped behind him.

As my vision went dark, a feeling of suffocation came over me.

In just a blink of an eye, Xie Shubao had put a sack over the man's head and skillfully performed a rear naked choke.

The man immediately fell to his knees due to exhaustion, and finally he lay still on the ground without struggling any more.

It was so smooth and flowing that everyone around was stunned.

"Amazing!"

"Wow! A martial artist?"

"What the hell, what's wrong with this guy?"

"It looks like a thief. I just heard someone yell at him for touching someone's butt. Two men, they can't be hooligans. They can only be stealing money."

"…Then call the police!"

Dai Song quickly wiped his "horrible buttocks".

The money is too thick. Even if I touch it with my hand now, I can't feel it at all. I'd better find a corner where no one is and put it in my chest bag. I will definitely ask my wife to change the position of this secret pocket when I get back!
More and more people gathered to watch the fun, and it was difficult for him to "transfer" the huge sum of money, so he followed the crowd's words, and he and Xiao Shubao each took one side of the man, holding his arm and were about to walk out of the crowd.

"Make way, make way. We are going to take him to the police station." "You are unconscious?"

"So awesome! How old is this kid? He doesn't look that big, but how can he be so skillful?"

"Hurry up, make way for them."

The crowd quickly made way for him, and Dai Songxie's backpack didn't want to waste any time, so he walked out quickly.

Looking at the backs of the two people leaving, a man in a black cotton jacket in the crowd rubbed his chin, and his originally disappointed eyes lit up again.

But the next moment he slapped his thigh again, turned around and went back to the noodle shop - fortunately the noodles were not clumping yet...

After the man finished his noodles, he went to the police station. As soon as he entered the lobby, he was noticed by a young comrade.
"Coach Fei? Why are you here?"

"Oh! I just saw a thief being subdued on the road. Has the thief been sent here?"

"It's here. It's been brought here by two people. One is tall and looks very energetic, and the other is skinny and small, not very noticeable. What's the matter?"

"Yes, yes! Are they still there?"

"Leave, in a hurry."

"Okay, can you tell me their names? I found a good guy. I'll ask him if he wants to learn wrestling with me."

"Um, I'm sorry, Coach Fei, I can't tell you this directly. I need to trouble Coach Fei to talk to the leader and bring a copy of the explanation so that we can cooperate."

"Okay! No problem!"

……

After Dai Song and Xie Shubao finished taking the statements, they immediately found an alley and put the money back.

After that, we wandered around the shops in town.

By almost one o'clock in the afternoon, the two had bought a lot of things and were waiting at the entrance of the hotel.

Although it was past dinner time, there were still many people eating in the hall. Dai Song didn't want to go in and disturb other people's business. It was sunny outside, so he politely declined Shanzi's kindness.

Jiang Zhanhua had now found everything that he had promised to help Dai Song find: a Forever bicycle, a semiconductor radio, two watches, a new coat and two pieces of glass.

The bag that originally contained badger skins in Xie's backpack was now bulging with all kinds of food, mostly grains, and some household items, all of which were things that the family urgently needed after discussing with Xie's mother last night.

Because he didn't have a ticket, he had to pay a higher price for many of the things he bought, so that the 160 yuan he earned from selling the badger was now only about yuan. Dai Song asked him to keep it for himself, so he carefully hid it in his crotch, and didn't dare to take big steps when walking, for fear that the money would fall out of his trouser leg if there was a leak. At the same time, he became alert to the people around him.

Wang Tu Douzi arrived just in time. As soon as the clock in the hotel lobby struck the hour, the sound of a tractor was heard from a distance.

Seeing the large items placed at Dai Song's feet, Wang Tu Douzi quickly untied the scarf on his head and stared at Dai Song with wide eyes.

"Song... Songzi, are these all yours? Or are there any from Xie's backpack among them?"

"They are all Brother Song's." Xie Shubao was very proud at this moment. Wang Tu Douzi's expression showed that his vision was correct and it was right to follow Dai Song!

"Wow!! Songzi, these things of yours must have cost a lot of money!"

"It's not bad. The total is less than 400 yuan."

376.2 yuan to be exact.

Dai Song only found out this price after he repeatedly asked Jiang Zhanhua not to make up the difference himself.

The most expensive item was the bicycle, which cost 180 yuan each, followed by the two Shanghai watches, which together cost 100 yuan.

Jiang Zhanhua was thoughtful enough to get Dai Song a ladies' watch with a leather strap. The bezel was also much smaller than the other one, so it didn't feel heavy on the wrist at all when he wore it.

The price of that semiconductor, which was only slightly thinner than the microwave oven of later generations, was not high, and I could buy it for 45 yuan.

The rest was the cost of a new coat and two panes of glass.

Wang Tu Douzi was sighing as he moved. He didn't know that Dai Song had two watches in his pocket. If he knew, he would probably not only be talking about "Old Dai is blessed". The only thing missing from the three-turn and one-ring watch was a sewing machine, and everything else was complete. How could the people in the village dare to imagine this?

The tractor rumbled along the way. The tractor driven by Wang Tu Douzi was indeed fast and steady. It took only 24 minutes for the three of them to return to Tuanjietun.

The warm sun shines on the faces of Dai Song and Xie Shubao, giving their expressions a beauty that is difficult to describe in words.

The glass cannot be left directly at Liu Laoliu’s house, for fear that he would think that his dog has become a spirit and bring him back two pieces of glass.

According to the "intelligence" Jiang Weiqun got after dinner, the dog in Liu Laoliu's family has been very energetic recently. When it sees people, it barks louder than young dogs.

Moreover, the dogs tied in the yards of several households in the village became pregnant for unknown reasons, and everyone suspected that it was Liu Laoliu's dog that did it.

After all, his dog was the only one in the whole village that was not tied up, and the dog just barked but didn't bite, so no one could say anything.

Xie Shubao lived in Tunxi, so Wang Tudouzi sent him back first.

After getting off the tractor, Xie Shubao was "hesitant" and Dai Song had to chase him away several times before he let him go back quickly to share his happiness with his mother. After all, there was still a large part of the hammer left to be lifted, so the two had plenty of time to talk and express their feelings.

The tractor then passed through the village and inevitably passed by the entrance of the small shop.

Dai Song glanced at the old ladies sitting at the entrance of the convenience store, basking in the sun with their sleeves tucked in, and the corners of his mouth twitched involuntarily.

Ju Hongxian, who was wearing a wrinkled polyester cotton jacket and sitting in the center, was speaking in a sarcastic voice.

"Oh, we were just talking about him, and here he comes back.

I can't see anyone there day after day, and I don't know what they are busy with.

To this day, my wife and I still live in a small house with my parents.

He said he made a lot of money, but no one knew where he made the money or where he spent it. He even asked my son Wang Tu Douzi to take him to town, but he never paid.

Haha, with this kind of behavior, can you make money? You must have spent it all in those places in town!"

Upon hearing this, the old ladies around looked at Dai Song one after another, covering their mouths, not knowing whether they were laughing or talking.

The only part of Wang Tudouzi that was exposed was the "bright top", which suddenly turned red.
The tractor was still some distance away from the crowd, and he pointed his finger at Ju Hongxian and cursed,
"What are you yelling about, you poor bitch! You shut up! Are you looking for trouble? You've been talking nonsense all day long!"

Ju Hongxian glared and waved his hand like a big brother, taking the lead in stopping Wang Tu Douzi's tractor. Several women came closer without thinking of trouble, but did not stand in front of him. Instead, they stood at a distance and watched the show.

just.

When they saw what was in the back of the tractor, the teasing in their eyes disappeared instantly.

Instead, there was shock, and everyone opened their mouths slightly and looked at each other.

Ju Hongxian was a step behind them, but at this moment she also saw the brand new bicycle and semiconductor.

Dai Song casually took out two dollars from his pocket and stuffed them into Wang Tu Douzi's pocket.
"Uncle Wang, this is for you. Otherwise, Auntie will be anxious and will cause trouble for you when she returns."

"Impossible!" Wang Tu Douzi took the bill, stuffed it into his pocket, and immediately slid off the tractor. "She's looking for trouble with me? I'm her biggest trouble today! What are you looking at! Poor woman, what else can you do except gossip all day long? Get out of my way! If you're not at home after I send Songzi back, you're doomed, I tell you!"

Ju Hongxian was obviously confused by the things on the tractor.

Last time, she was suppressed by Jiang Weiqun. She went back and behaved well for the whole night, and finally coaxed Wang Tu Douzi to take her to the town the next day, and spent dozens of dollars to buy all the things.

What to do this time?

When they bought these things from Dongfang, they asked about the price, but it cost more than two hundred yuan!
How does she coax Wang Tu Douzi?
At the same time, the other old ladies looked at Ju Hongxian with a little more teasing in their eyes.

Wang Tu Douzi saw her standing there stupidly and didn't even bother to throw it in.

He just picked it up, pushed it aside, got on the tractor in a hurry, and drove away.

After arriving at Dai Song's house, Wang Tu Douzi helped him unload his things.

"Songzi, I'm sorry, your aunt is just like this. I will teach her a lesson when I get home! She is such a talkative person!"

"Uncle Wang, don't force it." Dai Song was afraid that Wang Tu Douzi would be hurt by the tickling. He finally understood why Wang Tu Douzi wrapped his head with a scarf like a rice dumpling.

"Ha!" Wang Tu Douzi unbuttoned his cotton jacket, straightened his chest and raised his head, and suddenly pulled the hems of his jacket back.
"Your uncle Wang is still afraid of her? I'll beat this tiger bitch to death when I get back!"

Looking at the scratches on Wang Tu Douzi's neck, Dai Song grinned, blessed Wang Tu Douzi in his heart, and watched him drive the tractor.

Once the hero leaves, he will never return.

Dai Song recited these words to Wang Tu Douzi silently in his heart, and at the same time he was also motivating himself.

Although the items on his chest were worth about 3600 yuan, of which more than 1750 were his own, Jiang Weiqun had made it clear before that if he dared to buy home appliances, she would beat him up.

Now he just brought all the things back, clearly going against her.

"Huh..." Dai Song let out a long breath. If he stretched his head out, he would be cut by a knife. If he lowered his head, he would also be cut by a knife. He placed the glass next to the courtyard wall, parked the bicycle in the middle of the yard, put on a brand new coat to increase its physical resistance to impact, and strode into the house with the semiconductor between his arms.

"I'm back! Look what I brought back?"

Xiao Yingying and Hua Gu were the first to come out to greet the voice.

The little girl just ran with her eyes smiling, calling "Dad~Dad~" non-stop. After she hugged Dai Song's legs, she raised her little head and looked at the "strange thing" under his armpits with a curious look.

"Yingying~ Dad bought some good things today~"

"Dad is so awesome~" The little girl didn't understand what this meant, but she believed that her father would not let her down.

"What are you making a fuss about as soon as you get back?!"

Jiang Weiqun also came out of the house. It was obvious that she was taking a nap. She was woken up by Dai Song and now she was like a blind black cat that had been called a warehouse.

"What the hell is this?"

Jiang Weiqin immediately noticed the semiconductor sandwiched under Dai Song's armpits, and then she saw the 28-inch truck standing in the middle of the yard. Her expression suddenly twisted.
"You idiot! I told you not to buy it! But you bought it without even asking! Are you asking for a rip-off?"

Jiang Weiqun's shouting actually attracted her two sisters-in-law and Dai Xiaoqian who were making cotton-padded jackets in the next yard.

"What's up, Mom?"

"mom?"

The three were first startled by the bicycle in the yard, and then when they entered the house, they saw the big thing under Dai Song's armpit.
After looking at each other, he hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Jiang Weiqun who was holding the shoe sole.

"Let me chop him to death! This loser!"

"Mom, don't worry."

"Yes, Mom, didn't my brother go to town to sell mallets today? Just listen to what he says!"

"Matsuko, what's going on?"

After Tang Liping finished speaking, she quickly winked at Dai Song.

Dai Song understood and quickly placed the semiconductor on the small kang in the main room.

Then he took out a thick stack of bills from his personal bag and handed it to Jiang Weiqin.
"Mom, please count first. I have thought about it carefully, and I am not just spending money without any planning."

When I saw the brick-like Great Unity in Dai Song's hand,

Not only Jiang Weiqun, but the others were also stunned by the amount of money.

Xiao Yingying, who was squatting beside him, also hugged Huagu's neck, smiling and clapping her hands non-stop.
"Dad is awesome! He's awesome~"

Although she didn't quite understand what money was, the last time Dai Song carried her to the convenience store, she remembered that this thing could be exchanged for a lot of White Rabbit candies.

Jiang Weiqin took the money and counted it for a long time. The sisters-in-law and Dai Xiaoqian on both sides also helped her count quietly.

When they counted to the end, the three of them couldn't close their mouths anymore.

Jiang Weiqin handed the money to Nan Chunwan tremblingly, and looked at Dai Song as if he were a monster.

"1700... Wow! Damn it, are these all sold by your hammers?"

"Ang!" Dai Song held his head high, extremely arrogant.

Jiang Weiqun didn't let him buy these things because their family was poor.

Now, just counting money for her is more effective than saying anything.

"Then these semiconductors and bicycles must have cost a lot of money, right?"

"It's not expensive! It's less than two hundred dollars in total, so what's that?"

When quoting prices to his family, Dai Song always follows the principle of quoting low rather than high.

"Has the money been paid?"

"Oh! How can I bring it back without paying?"

He turned on the transistor radio, stretched the antenna toward the window, and turned the knob.

After a burst of la la noise, the storytelling began.

It should be about "Generals of the Yang Family", which happened to be about the part "Seven sons left and six returned". Dai Song's cultural level was enough to understand this.

Dai Xiaoqian immediately came forward and fumbled with the semiconductor.

The two sisters-in-law were also very curious and came to the kang to listen carefully.

Jiang Weiqin blinked, her attention was immediately drawn, and she crossed one leg and sat on the small kang.
"Oh my! This...hiss...I never thought we have a radio at home now!"

"Is that all right?" Dai Song looked very pleased. He carried Xiao Yingying, who was clinging to the edge of the kang and blinking her eyes, to the kang.
"Yingying~ Let grandma tune the radio for you at home from now on. She's telling you a story right now, listen~"

The little girl was sitting next to the radio. The "big guy" was almost catching up with her. She pinched her little hands together and didn't dare to touch it.

Dai Song held her little hand and turned the small knob to adjust the volume.
"Listen~ This makes the sound smaller, this makes the sound louder~"

Yingying grinned, with little stars twinkling in her eyes, but she preferred to listen after all, so she crawled into her grandmother's arms, found a comfortable position, lying on her back, and listened to the storytelling carefully.

Jiang Weiqin hugged the little girl and listened for a while. Her expression kept changing. Finally, she frowned and blamed Dai Song again.
"You bought such a big thing and didn't tell your family? Xiaowan doesn't even know!"

"I told you." Dai Song stiffened his neck. "Didn't I tell you last time that I wanted to buy some home appliances?"

"You did say that, but who the hell agreed?"

Dai Song pursed his lips and said, "If you don't agree, then don't agree. The money you earn is to be spent. Besides, I didn't spend it recklessly. I earn so much, so what's wrong with spending a few dollars to buy some home appliances to make my life better?"

"Hey! You're still reasonable!"

Jiang Weiqun frowned and raised her hand to touch Dai Song's shoulder.

Dai Xiaoqian hurriedly grabbed Jiang Weiqin,
"Mom, don't blame me. I think I did nothing wrong this time. It's not like I bought these things for no reason. My brother and sister-in-law are going to build a new house in the spring. They definitely have enough money now, and it's time to buy some furniture. If we buy it now, we can also benefit from it and enjoy it for a while."

"Yes, Mom. Songzi has worked so hard going up the mountain these days. He made so much money from selling the mallets, but he didn't think of spending it carelessly. Instead, he bought home appliances for the family. Songzi has really grown a lot!" Tang Liping also chimed in.

Nan Chunwan has a gentle personality and never interrupts people when they ask questions like this, but her eyes are enough to tell her attitude—there is joy and pride in her eyes, and the rest is filled by Dai Song.

Jiang Weiqin felt it was not appropriate to teach Dai Song a lesson. After thinking carefully, she realized that Dai Song had done nothing wrong.
After earning money, I know to hand it in and buy home appliances.

Not to mention compared to his past, even compared to his peers in the village now, Dai Song is much better than them.

Thinking of this, Jiang Weiqin couldn't help but feel proud, and the depression in her heart instantly dissipated.

But she still felt a little uncomfortable, so she looked at Nan Chunwan and said:
"Xiao Wan, you should take better care of him from now on. You must be careful with the money. Find out what he wants to do first."

Nan Chunwan blinked her eyes and naturally heard that Jiang Weiqun was giving in, so she agreed with a smile.

Jiang Weiqun was delighted, and the last bit of unhappiness in her heart disappeared completely. She asked Dai Song to light the water heating plate beside the kang, and asked Tang Liping and Nan Chunwan to bring the cotton-padded jackets to this room. Then the adults and children sat on the kang, gathered around the radio, and listened to the storytelling with relish.

Just when we were hearing the wonderful music, we suddenly heard the sound of banging gongs outside the house.

Dai Song looked out the window and saw a man pushing a 28-inch bicycle standing on the path outside the yard.

"The peddler is here." Dai Song saw the big wooden box next to the back seat of his bicycle.

There are still peddlers these days, especially in the winter when it snows and it is inconvenient for people in the village to go to town, so some peddlers will carry some small and interesting things and go around the village door to door either pushing a cart or riding a bicycle.

Don’t think that there is no business because most of the peddlers’ small commodities are “rare goods” brought from the town.

Not only is there clam oil for women, but there is also something that all Northeastern children cannot resist - canned fruit.

These things are not available for sale in the Oriental Store.

And they will also recycle some bottles and cans. Of course, usually you don't have to pay, just give some snacks.

So when the children heard the noise, they would be extremely excited. Xiao Yingying was no exception. When she heard the noise, she immediately got up from the kang and climbed to the window, jumping around non-stop.
"Sugar, sugar, sugar~"

Jiang Weiqun had always loved Yingying, and today the family had a big income, so she decided to spend some money lavishly. She picked up Yingying, opened the door and walked out of the house with a smile on her face.

As Yingying's little tail, Huagu also stuck to Jiang Weiqun's feet and followed her out.

Dai Song sat on the kang and looked at his grandson through the window, but the next moment, his brows suddenly furrowed;

The flower mushroom that was originally sticking to his feet suddenly barked and rushed towards the peddler at the gate of the yard.

"not good!"

Dai Songteng jumped up from the kang, grabbed the No. 16 hanging pipe beside the door, and rushed out amid the puzzled looks of his two sisters-in-law and his younger sister.

He remembered what Jiang Zhanhua had told him—human traffickers have become rampant recently!

Human traffickers these days are extremely vicious. They will not lure children to a deserted place and then take them away.

If there is no man around the child, they will just try to snatch the child away!
Dai Song rushed into the yard barefoot, his eyes instantly turned red. His precious daughter was being held in the arms of the peddler, who was trying to pull her out.

She was so frightened that she dared not utter a word. Her little face was pale and her mouth was wide open, but her throat seemed to be blocked and no sound came out.

Jiang Weiqun was half-kneeling on the ground, holding the man's calf tightly.

When she saw Dai Song, she suddenly came back to life, crying and shouting,

"Oh my god, it's a smuggler! Hurry up and call for help!"

The man also noticed Dai Song. When he saw the gun in Dai Song's hand, he immediately became furious.
He threw Xiao Yingying to the ground, and without caring about the bicycle, he ran away.

Although Jiang Weiqun was kneeling on the ground, she reacted quickly. She lunged forward and caught Xiao Yingying in time.

Xiao Yingying hadn't reacted yet, her little face was still pale. Jiang Weiqun held her in her arms and coaxed her for a long time. She hugged her grandmother's neck tightly, buried her face and sobbed.

Dai Song chased after him with a gun in hand. There was no time to get him bullets just now, so now he could only chase while shouting.

The snow was calf-deep and he was barefoot, so how could he run faster than Paihuazi?

Even though a large group of villagers were called upon to help chase him, the man still escaped in the end.

Dai Song had a brief discussion with his fellow villagers and asked them to go find Qi Shunli while he hurried home.

His precious daughter was frightened, he had to go back and accompany her now!

It was delayed by the review, so late, sorry everyone. orz/
It’s quite urgent, and some parts may not be smooth. I’ll send it out first because I don’t want to make everyone wait too long.

I also want to eat something. I ate a Snickers bar after writing for a whole day. There are stars in my eyes.

By the way, I fixed a BUG in the previous article.

The eight-liang hammer that Xie Shubao took out should be calculated according to the old method of one jin and sixteen liang.

Using the modern jin scale, it is just over five liang. When I wrote the original text, I did not pay attention to the saying "seven liang is for ginseng, eight liang is for treasure". It was my negligence, orz.

Now the weight that Dai Song weighed when the artifact was unearthed can be modified, which will not affect the final profit.
