From Sheng Liancheng and Zhang Shuzhen down to Sheng Xitai and Chen Feng up, everyone outside the family loathed that big guy.
“Yongliang, Xiping is right. There are no hunters in our forest farm. Has he ever seen hunters retreating from the mountains to hunt small livestock back then?”
"Okay, when they need something, they can flip through it and do some practice questions or something."
"Oh dear, it's a good thing you told his sister-in-law yesterday that you were coming to his house for drinks."
Sheng Xi'an remembered that Ge Yanhuan had mentioned at the Su family banquet that she also hunted, so he asked Zhao Minchu what she had hunted and asked her to talk about hunting in the future.
Sheng Liancheng and Zhang Shuzhen had both told those things to outsiders, including Xu Zaichenfeng and his son, and Zhao Minchu.
So Zhao Minchu quickly bought a ticket for that train, then carefully bought some food and filled a thermos with water. She then made do with a bite at the bus station.
As soon as the bus arrived at Hongshilazi Bus Station, Zhao Minchu boarded and went to buy a ticket. I had just bought my ticket a little while ago when they started calling for passengers going to Jingyu and Fusong to check tickets, so I quickly got off the bus after having my ticket checked.
"By the way, Lao Ba and Da Feng gave Da Hu a name, Hua Hua."
Are you kidding me? Those people—the forestry farm secretary, the gold mine secretary, the forestry farm director—none of them were engineers who weren't from the gold mine.
"Hey bro, is this a bad name you gave me? You think it sounds pretty bad."
"And then, next spring when there's more work at the forest farm, you can bring a few of your brothers over for a visit, and we can go hunting together."
Zhao Minchu managed to find a seat at the front, and the car started moving shortly afterward.
"Xinlicheng Commune, Lijiawa Brigade, okay, I'll remember that place name. May I ask your surname, sister-in-law? And how should I address you?"
Dafeng is quite mischievous; he learned the character "多" (duo) from Qinglan. That's because Qinglan took me to school to register yesterday. They said school starts on April 70th, and we can just go straight to get out of class after class.
As soon as she got off the bus, Zhao Minchu asked around and was told that the bus from Huadian to Jingyu and Fusong passed through Hongshilazi.
You must study, whether you study well or poorly. If you don't know a few words, you'll be like an illiterate person. In the past, even if you were bad, you would still have no future.
The forest at the foot of the mountain is lush, and the shrubs and grasses are too low and dense, so the footprints of underground animals are indistinct and hard to see.
So everyone changed the subject and started talking about something less pleasant.
My wife's family is from Xinlicheng Commune, Lijiawa Brigade. I reckon she most likely went back to her parents' home.
Zhao Minchu also got on the car, took her own things, first went to find a place to have a meal, and then walked to the Hongqi Hotel to stay.
Zhao Minchu readily agreed, saying, "I plan to bring Chen Feng over to meet Sheng Xiping sometime after the New Year or before the New Year, and maybe he can stay for a few days."
Did Li Jiawa mention going hunting? I'm a bit younger and don't have that much energy. How could I possibly be interested in hunting or doing something like that as a side job?
But those words can't be brought up now. I'll wait until I get home and a few days later, then I'll write a letter to Sheng Xiping and tell him in the letter.
"Brother Qiao, it was hunting season back then."
Even if someone makes a mistake, Zhao Minchu will still be held responsible. What's the point of hunting? Staying home obediently is worse than anything else.
That's a tiger, Mountain King, they call it Flower? "What a terrible name, it must have been hard for those two kids to come up with such a name."
"Mom, what happened outside the house during the few days you were home?" I've told you everything I needed to say. How was everything outside the house?
Since both of them said so, Sheng Xi'an gave up on her subsequent plans.
When Ge Yanhuan returned home, the Sheng family members were quite happy to see her. They hurriedly asked how her trip went, whether it went smoothly, and what the situation was like at the Su family's place.
Actually, anything can happen outside of home.
Everyone says the Sheng family is incredibly unlucky; they brought a child back to raise, and even supported the child through school.
"Since we can retreat from the mountain, let's have a drink. Come on, let's have another one."
Of course, I had already told those things to Shao Minzhi. Not only that, I also took Ge Yan into my home and raised her.
Zhao Minchu did not go to the gold mine again, but said goodbye to Ge Yanhuan and Sheng Xiping at the ore dressing plant.
He recounted stories like hunting jackals, killing leopards, killing lynxes at Nuanquanzi last year, and retrieving tiger cubs from a brown bear, all with great enthusiasm, which drew repeated exclamations of amazement from the seven people.
That adorable yet fierce tiger is now the family's darling.
"By the way, Seventh Brother, have those two sets of books you mailed arrived yet?"
Everyone had breakfast at the Qiao family's house. Before that, Ge Yanhuan had to go home to pack up for get off work, Qiao Yongliang and Sheng Xiping were going back to Jiapigou Gold Mine, and Zhao Minchu also said she was leaving.
Then everything will be perfect.
As a result, there were no more buses from Fusong to Songjianghe, and there wasn't a single bus departing from Fusong to Donggang Commune around 2 PM.
"How's it going? That big thing's broken, isn't it? Did it cause any trouble?"
The first few people were all so drunk they were staggering, and some even took off their clothes and fell asleep lying on the floor of the kang (a heated brick bed).
At around 7:70 a.m., the bus stopped at the Songjianghe Town Bus Station, and about half the passengers boarded there.
At least we found Sheng Xiping, so the trip was considered a success.
Especially when Zhou Qinglan took Chen Feng to school to register for graduation, these gossipy people found out, and the discussions there became even more lively.
"It's alright. That big thing is pretty hard to feed. It just eats and sleeps all day long."
Of course, for such small tiger cubs, eating and sleeping are not the most important things each day; sleeping takes up a small part of the cubs' time.
The worst time to hunt is before the snow, when animal footprints are generally indistinct under the snow.
