Zhou Guilan knew that when her son was older, he couldn't force her to do anything. Beating and scolding were useless, they could only push her son further away.

So Zhou Guilan adopted a soft policy and softened her tone, showing concern and pleading in every word.

Xu Shiyan's original plan was to hunt as many prey as possible and save more money while he was still in the big house.

This place is remote and the population is small, and there are many prey on the mountain, and he still has a gun and a dog in his hand.

When they move out in the next year, the gun and dog will have to be returned to the brigade, so there will be no such convenient conditions.

Donggang is densely populated and there are few wild animals, so there is no chance to hunt again.

But my mother's words are also reasonable. The brothers have been tossing a lot these days, and many people in the village are jealous.

In a village, not only are there good people, but there are also bad people.

Although Xu Shiyan was not afraid of those people who were playing tricks behind their backs, he still had to worry about his parents, and he couldn't make the old man worry too much.

How could Xu Shiyan ignore my mother's love for her son?I had no choice but to agree.

"Mom, we know. From now on, we will all stay at home and help with the wedding."

Fortunately, I have indeed made a lot of things recently, and there are just a few black blind men.

In addition to all kinds of skins and so on, the money brothers sold it for five cents, and each family could probably get hundreds of cents.

Okay, people are content, too greedy and prone to accidents, so stop and rest.

Xu Chenghou scolded, Zhou Guilan coaxed.

The couple sang the red face and the bad face, and they finally persuaded the sons who were hunting these days.

The Xu Shiyan brothers all agreed, except for those clips, they will have to go and see it in a few days, and they will never go hunting in the mountains again.

Only then did the old couple feel relieved, and the family returned to the warmth and harmony of the past.

In this year and month, it is said that it is a wedding, but in fact there is not much to do.

Now at this time, it is not said that people who get married must buy a house. There are many houses in the family, and one of them is cleaned up to make a new house.

There are three rooms like Xu's house, all of which are opposite to each other, so the east room and the north kang are cleaned up and given to the young couple.

For those whose family conditions are difficult, a whole family of kang sleeps, and they also have to get married.

Xu Chenghou knew carpentry, and Xu Shixian and Xu Shian also learned a little bit, so there was no need for a carpenter to make furniture.

There are only those styles of furniture in this year, and there is nothing difficult.The old man has started to work since the beginning of winter, and has already finished the furniture.

Don't worry about the bedding, Zhou Guilan had already prepared cotton and cloth, and the quilt was brought back from Tonghua by Xu Shiyan.

There are not many two shops and two covers. Zhou Guilan led her daughter and daughter-in-law, and they made them a long time ago and put them on the kangqin.

Finally, there is only the banquet on the wedding day that needs to be busy.

This is also easy. The Xu family raised two fat pigs and killed one on the 25th of the twelfth lunar month.

Coupled with the fact that Xu Shiyan sent back so much meat before, and the meat that he went up the mountain to hunt recently, wouldn't it be easy to hold a few banquets?

What needs to be purchased is the candy, tobacco and alcohol at the banquet.

So, on the day of Xiaonian, the brothers of the Xu family borrowed a horse sledge from the brigade, took all kinds of skins, bear bile, etc. they had made a while ago, and went to the county seat.

Dongjiang along the brigade leans on the Songhua River, the first road, the river flows northward, meets Tanghe River at the mouth of Tanghe River, and then flows northward through the west of the county seat.

Therefore, from the Dongjiang River to the county seat, there was another way to release emissions in the summer before.

The wood is bundled together to make a wooden raft, which can reach the county seat by flowing down the water.

In the past, some people went to the county town to sell firewood, most of them used this method, and several people could sit on the wooden raft.

This method has a certain degree of danger. With the construction of the road, gradually no one will discharge it.

It's easier in winter, just use a horse sledge to pull people and run north along the frozen river.

In winter, the ice on the big river is more than one meter thick, let alone people leaving, driving is no problem.

From the big house all the way to the north along the river, the horse sledge ran fast, and it took two and a half hours to arrive at the place.

This is faster than walking to Songjiang River, and then taking a car from Songjiang River to the county seat, and the time is free.

The horse sledge stopped under the bridge west of the county seat, but the embankment was too steep for the sledge to climb up, so Xu Shixian was left to watch the sledge.

Others went up along the embankment and went straight to the purchasing station.

The New Year is approaching, and many hunters in the villages are thinking of selling the mountain goods in their hands to buy new year goods for money, so there are many people in the buying station.

Xu Shiyan and the others lined up for a while before it was their turn, and quickly took out all kinds of hides they had hunted recently, as well as three bear gallbladders.

Of the three bear bile, one was snatched from under the tiger's mouth, and the other was killed by a few brothers who killed black and blind men.

There was another one who met Yang Chunming and others into the mountain.

Everything else is easy to talk about. The one that Yang Chunming and the others got together has to be recorded separately, and it will be distributed to everyone after returning home.

Three bear galls, two copper and one grass, especially the brown bear one, with big copper galls, one can cover two.

These three gallbladders alone sold for 500 yuan, and other squirrel skins, badger skins, otter skins, and sable skins were sold for another [-] yuan.

It was sold for 600 yuan at once, and the brothers were all very happy, while the others in the room were also envious of each other.

Xu Shiyan took the money and gave the three brothers 100 yuan each.

This is not a dividend, but let them buy things.

"Second brother, you are going to buy candies, cigarettes and wine with fourth brother, and fifth brother, aren't you going to the bookstore to buy review materials? Hurry up.

I took the money and hurried to find my eldest brother, we will wait for you under the bridge, come back quickly after finishing the work, we have to go home quickly. "

With so much money, Xu Shiyan didn't dare to go carelessly.

You must know that at this time, there are huge crowds of people in the county town to buy new year's goods, what if something goes wrong?

Xu Shiyan had a knife on his body, and two guns on the sledge.

So after Xu Shiyan gave his brothers the money for buying, he hurried out of the buying station and went straight to meet Xu Shixian under the bridge.

Xu Shiyan hurriedly walked towards the Xijiang River in the county seat, not noticing that as soon as he left the purchasing station, someone followed behind him.

Several people followed Xu Shiyan to the riverside, and saw Xu Shiyan meeting and talking with a person on the river.

One of them hid in a hiding place and continued to stare, while the others were sent back to call for help.

"Hurry up and report to brother Sheng Cao and the others, saying that the kid came to the county again last time.

This time they brought more money, so they were just the two of them, let Brother Sheng and Brother Cao bring more people, remember to bring some guys. "

Not long after, I saw a group of people running over in a hurry, and the leader was the one Xu Shiyan met last time.

There was another person beside him, not too tall, with a bit of sternness in his brows and eyes, and a bulging waist, as if he was carrying some belongings.

"Where is it? Damn, let him run away last time, this time I have to kill him." The leader asked.

"It's just under the bridge." Someone pointed to the river.

Chapter 93 Old Acquaintances

The county is surrounded by mountains on three sides in the northeast and south, and adjacent to water in the west.

People in the county call the river to the west the Xijiang River, and the Xijiang Bridge is a cross-county bridge.

After crossing the bridge, it belongs to Jingyu's jurisdiction.

In these years, the layout of the entire Er County is still mainly developing southward under the Dongshan Mountain.

The vicinity of the Xijiang River has not been developed, and there are not many residents, especially near the Xijiang Bridge, there are not many people.

Under the bridge, the two brothers Xu Shixian and Xu Shiyan didn't know the danger was coming, and they were chatting enthusiastically.

Two thousand and six hundred yuan, after Yang Chunming and others' share, there is still two thousand left.

The five brothers share it together, and each can get several hundred.

The parents at home have already said that they don't want the money, and it belongs to the individual.

The family will be separated after the next year, and with this money, there is no need to worry about life in the future.

"Third brother, thanks to you leading us these days, otherwise our brothers wouldn't be able to earn so much money."

What Xu Shixian said was from the bottom of his heart. In previous years, they worked so hard that it would be good if they could get a hundred yuan in winter.

How long has it been, and with hundreds of dollars in hand, who can be unhappy?

"Unfortunately, our father won't let us go into the mountains, alas."

Xu Shixian sighed, and felt that it was a pity. If he could continue hunting, he would be able to earn more if he didn't keep it all.

Just as Xu Shiyan was about to say something, when he raised his head suddenly, he saw a group of people rushing down from the embankment.

Those people came in a menacing way, and they went straight to the Xu family brothers, and it was obvious at a glance that they were coming for them.

"Brother, hold the gun in your arms and don't show it." Xu Shiyan dodged to block Xu Shixian.

Xu Shixian moved very quickly, and immediately bent down from the sledge and grabbed the gun covered under the sack.

Xu Shixian was considerate, he didn't show his gun, and hugged the sack together in his arms.

At this time, more than ten people had already arrived in front of the Xu family brothers.

When the leader met Xu Shiyan, he laughed loudly, "I didn't expect that we will meet again today.

how?I heard that they are selling mountain goods again today?That's a lot of money, right? "

Having said that, the leader's face changed, and his eyes also changed.

"If you are sensible, hand over the money obediently, and I will forgive you, otherwise, today you will have no return.

Don't think that you are the only one who can carry a knife, see?Today, our buddies all brought their belongings. "

As the man spoke, he waved his hand, and saw the people behind him revealing the things in their hands.

There is a big knife like the one for chopping watermelons, there is also a butcher's knife, and there are two people, and the three-section stick is displayed.

More than a dozen people each held their belongings, but the Xu family brothers here were unarmed, and the comparison of strength was clear.

Xu Shiyan frowned, is the county so chaotic?These people in broad daylight dare to rob with open swords and guns?

In my impression, it seems that the chaos started after 1980. Could it be that he hadn't been to the county at this time in his previous life, so he didn't know?

"I'm sorry, why should I give you the money I earned by my ability?"

Xu Shiyan looked at those people opposite, and said without changing his face.

"Last time, four or five of you were scared away by me. This time, do you think you can do it?"

As Xu Shiyan said, he stretched his right hand behind him.

It's okay not to mention the last time, but when the matter of the last time is mentioned, the face of the leader Cao Jiangqi on the opposite side turns blue.

It was simply humiliating. Surrounded by four or five people, they were frightened by the knife in his hand. They didn't dare to make a move. In the end, they alerted the police and ran away.

"Boy, you're crazy, aren't you? Okay, I'll make you crazy. I have something for you today. Shengzi, do it."

The popular facial features of the leader were distorted, and when he turned around, he called the younger brother behind him to do it.

As a result, when he turned around, he realized something was wrong, someone was hiding behind him. "Shengzi, what the hell are you doing hiding? Do it."

"Brother Cao, those brothers know me."

The person behind him was not too tall, and his figure was a bit thin. When the person in front turned around, he also moved and dodged, for fear that his face would be seen.

"What? I know you?" Cao Jiang was taken aback for a moment, then gritted his teeth, "If I know you, then I will be them."

This group of people basically steal as soon as they can, grab as soon as they can, and run away as soon as they are robbed. It is rare for them to go out with open swords and guns like today.

The main reason is that they didn't take advantage of Xu Shiyan's hands last time, knowing that empty-handed is useless without fewer people, so they came out in full force.

Some customs left over from previous years, in fact, incidents of fighting, stealing and robbery in society are not uncommon.

The public security in the countryside is good, mainly because the mobility of people is low, and the folks in the countryside don't see each other when they look up.

If there is any conflict, the village cadres will solve it, otherwise there will be militias.

Hearing that the leader said to get rid of it, the little man also became ruthless, pulled out the three-section cudgel from his waist, and walked out from behind Brother Cao.

"Xu Shiyan, I didn't expect to meet you here today. It's really a narrow road to enemies."

"Chen Desheng, I thought you would always be a coward and dare not show your head."
