Save the Bachelor of Heaven

  Chapter 1749 1751 [Difficult years]

   "Master Ning, if you think two thousand yuan is less, we can discuss it further." Ma San'er said hastily.

   "Get lost! If you keep talking, I will destroy you." Xiang Nan said coldly.

  Seeing this, Ma San'er didn't dare to pester her anymore, so she got up quickly and wanted to leave.

   "Come back!" Xiang Nan shouted again, "Take your beef away, don't smudge my house."

  Ma San'er wrapped up the beef in a hurry, and walked out with drooping eyebrows.

  Xiang Nan closed the door and continued to eat his wild vegetable porridge.

  Although he is poor and needs money very much, he does not earn money because of his heart. Otherwise, he would be a pickpocket himself. With his skills, it is possible to steal one or two thousand a day.

  …

   Ma San'er was rejected by Xiang Nan's stern words and kicked out of the house, and soon spread in the Tao.

  Although those stubborn masters didn't understand Xiang Nan's approach, they were so poor that they drank porridge with wild vegetables, why were they so hypocritical. But that didn't stop them from respecting Xiang Nan.

  Being a stubborn boss also knows that he is guilty. Fighting and molesting girls are not things good people do. Therefore, it is very rare for Xiang Nan to be honest.

   "This Ning Wei is really a character!"

   "You are not very young, but you are not young, you are a hero."

   "This person surnamed Ning is quite a character, okay, let's stop doing anything on Fuxing Road from now on."

  Brothers on the road spread word of mouth, and they all admire Xiang Nan.

  …

   Another month later, Xiang Nan came back from the post office.

  He now sends a sum of money to his brother every month, sending him food stamps and ten yuan.

  Because Ning Yong wrote to say that northern Shaanxi is really suffering.

   They, a group of ten educated youths, were assigned to Shichuan Village in Jingbian, next to the Mu Us Desert. Flying sand and rocks every day, covering the sky and blocking the sun, there are few sunny days throughout the year.

  Because of the lack of water resources, the land is barren, and the food production is extremely low. Coupled with the cold climate in northern Shaanxi, crops are only ripened once a year, which is different from two crops a year in North China and three crops a year in South China. Therefore, it has become a routine for the villagers to go out to beg for food every year.

   These educated youths, after they were assigned, the rations they received were distributed to each of them, only sixty catties. And there are still six months until the autumn harvest, nearly 180 days.

  For such a long time, with such a small ration, even if you save food, it will not be enough time. What's more, they are farming, all of which are high-intensity labor, and they should eat more to replenish their physical strength, otherwise they will be so hungry that they will shake.

   Because of this, they have only been there for a month, and each of them gets 60 catties of food, which is almost bottoming out. Fortunately, when it came, Xiang Nansai gave him money and food coupons, as well as a handout, otherwise he would starve.

  However, although the days are hard, Ning Yong and others have also learned to enjoy the hardships.

  For example, Zhong Yuemin learned to sing Xintianyou from an old man in northern Shaanxi, Zheng Tong picked up books that had been left behind for several years, Ning Yong started an affair with a female educated youth, and so on. It can be regarded as adding a little embellishment to the monotonous, boring, and boring life.

  In the letter, Ning Yong also told Xiang Nan not to fight, not to be a stubborn boss, but to learn more knowledge and culture.

  He fooled around before, thinking that he was so majestic. It was only after I went to the countryside that I realized that those were bullshit. No matter how big the name or wrist in Forty-Nine City is, it can't be exchanged for a bun in northern Shaanxi.

  Although Ning Yong did not mention sending money in his letter, Xiang Nan could still see the predicament of his elder brother. If he didn't send any money, he would really go begging. And ten yuan and twenty catties of food stamps, not to mention solving his food crisis, could at least keep him going for a few days without starvation.

   As for Xiang Nan, the remaining money is barely enough to spend.

   After all, he is still a child and his appetite is limited. Moreover, he can fish and hunt birds, so he will never be hungry.

  For example, just now, he hit five sparrows with small stones. His concealed weapon is very accurate, within ten steps, he can hit wherever he points, which is better than a sharpshooter.

  …

  Walking on the way home, at this moment, I ran into Director Wang head-on.

   "Director Wang, good~" Xiang Nan took the initiative to greet.

   Now his parents are being quarantined for inspection, and the supervisor is Director Wang. Naturally, Xiang Nan didn't dare to neglect.

  Although Director Wang is teased by Zhong Yuemin, Yuan Jun, and Zheng Tong in turn in the play, he is actually not bad in nature, he is not the kind of person who bullies others and specializes in tricking others.

   It’s just that his views are a bit extreme, and he really thinks that those who were quarantined for review are at fault, so he is stricter with them.

  But Director Wang's attitude towards Xiang Nan's [educable children] is still good.

   "Little Ningwei, I'm hunting birds again. You must know that sparrows are beneficial and eat bugs." Director Wang said earnestly when he saw that he was carrying a bunch of sparrows.

   "Yes, I listen to you, I won't call in the future." Xiang Nan nodded.

   "Well, that's right." Director Wang nodded, "We have to listen to the chairman and his old man. He said mahjong is not allowed, so we won't do mahjong."

   "Yes, always keep the chairman's words in mind, I wrote them down." Xiang Nan nodded.

   "Well, by the way, your parents have been checked and confirmed innocent and released, and have just been sent home." Director Wang said again.

   "Ah?! Why didn't you say it earlier." Xiang Nan was speechless for a moment.

  Let’s not talk about such a big thing first, let’s talk about hunting birds, it’s a bit too serious.

   There was no time to complain about Director Wang, so Xiang Nan ran back.

  …

   "Dad, Mom..." Xiang Nan shouted happily when he saw his parents after returning home.

   It's been more than a year since I saw each other, and Ning Weiguo and Qi Aihong have aged a lot.

  Ning Weiguo is only forty years old, logically speaking, he is in the prime of life, but his hair is half a hundred. From the looks of the whole person, there are people who believe that they are fifty or sixty years old.

  Qi Aihong can also see that she is old, with crow's feet around her eyes, she is also extremely thin, and her face is drooping. It looks like a listless look.

   "Dad, Mom, I miss you so much." Xiang Nan rushed forward and said.

   Ning Weiguo and Qi Aihong were also very happy to see their son, and the couple burst into tears as they hugged the child.

   I haven't seen each other for more than a year, almost forever. Looking back now, it was like a nightmare.

   "Don't cry, Mom and Dad, you are all hungry, I will cook for you." Xiang Nan persuaded afterwards.

   "You know how to cook?" Qi Aihong asked in surprise.

   "Of course, these days, I cook by myself." Xiang Nan smiled, and then lit the stove to cook. Steamed the only rice at home, then stewed the marinated fish, and grilled the sparrows.

   Seeing their son doing these tasks with swift hands and feet, Ning Weiguo and Qi Aihong were a little shocked.

  Both of them are battalion-level cadres, and their combined monthly salary is two hundred yuan, which is naturally enough. Therefore, the two brothers Ning Yong and Ning Wei have never experienced any hardship since they were young, so naturally they don't know how to cook.

   Unexpectedly, it has only been more than a year since the two of them were imprisoned, and their son has become so capable, which makes them somewhat relieved.
