Lai Chunyang came up with another excuse, but he just refused to go hunting with Xue Yanchen.
“I’m afraid there won’t be a suitable time. You saw my brother’s condition when you went to my house today. He’s both crazy and disabled now, and his temperament is unpredictable. Who knows what he’ll want next? My sister-in-law can’t take care of him by herself. My parents are too old to handle my brother. I also have to stay at home to help my sister-in-law take care of him.”
Xue Yanchen didn't press him: "Alright then. But it's okay, we can team up again sometime." He asked casually, "When are you going back to school? We should have a chance to meet again. Even if we don't hunt together, since we know each other and get along well, why not become friends?"
"I've already graduated and been assigned a job. This is a leave to visit my family. I'll report back to my workplace in a month."
"Oh, that's great. Graduates from the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University have a secure job, and they won't have to worry about work anymore. So many people would envy that. If I were to be friends with you, you wouldn't look down on me, would you?"

Lai Chunyang was so anxious he wanted to curse; he still had important business to attend to.
But he eventually held back, saying, "But we don't have any tools; we can't dig a trap with our bare hands."
"Then we'll have to borrow it from the village first. Should we go or should we go together?"
"I'll go," Lai Chunyang said. With this guy sticking to him, he couldn't get anything done.
He went to the village to borrow farm tools while cursing and swearing. After returning, he and Xue Yanchen repaired the traps together until after 5 p.m., when it was almost dark, before they went down the mountain to go home.
Lai Chunyang was in a terrible mood. If he ran into Xue Yanchen on the mountain every day, that guy would ask him to hunt and build traps with him all the time, taking up all his time. How could he carry out his work?
