There was no talk all night. Zhang Peng got up relatively late the next day. The two sisters went out to play early in the morning. Today, Zhao Chunming, who had made an appointment, went for a walk in the mountains to find a suitable place. It was also considered a range of activities to go up the mountains to find prey. The meat at home is now also
Quite a lot. In the past few days, I have been making bear meat and pork every day. Although some have been sent out, it has only been a few days and there is still a lot left. I have no choice but to pickle most of it.<
/p>
Zhang Peng's thoughts on going up the mountain this time were also very Buddhist. If he encounters them, he will hit them. If he does not encounter them, he will take a walk. It is already late autumn, and frost will fall in a few days. The animals' summer fur has just finished changing and has grown winter fur.
The fur is thick, so the quality is the best now. Zhang Peng wants to seize this opportunity to go up the mountain for several days in a row, or find a shelter to live in. After this period, the environment in the forest area will be harsh in winter, and it will not
It’s time to go hunting.
Before Zhang Peng left home, Dahuang and Heizi in the yard started shouting. Wang Xiufen hurriedly opened the door and welcomed him out. She found that it was Malan from the village. She hurriedly walked over with a smile, welcomed Malan into the house and sat down.
On the Kang.
When Zhang Peng saw Ma Lan entering the house, he quickly said hello: "Third Aunt, you are here."
"Hey, Erxiaoer, I didn't go out today. As expected of a bear hunter in the mountains, I'm getting more and more energetic." Malan said to Zhang Peng with a smile on her face
"No way, Third Aunt, you praised me, I'm still the second son when I was in front of you," Zhao Peng said politely
"Haha, that's right. I remember when I was a child, your mother was not at home, but you were still eating at my house. How many years has it passed?" Ma Lan also said with emotion
Zhang Peng was confused by what she said. He just smiled politely without saying anything. He turned around and went to the kitchen to pour a cup of hot water and brought it out.
At this time, Wang Xiufen took over and said: "Yes, time flies so fast. In the blink of an eye, I was in trouble at that time, thanks to your help and taking care of me."
"Haha, okay, one family doesn't talk about two families, you know that I came here today, it's just that there are clues about what happened last time," Malan said with a smile
"Ah? It's so fast. You really bothered for the second child," Wang Xiufen said in surprise.
Zhang Peng was even more confused. What are he talking about? What kind of confidential information is this? Why can’t he understand it?
Seeing the question mark on Zhang Peng's face, Ma Lan asked doubtfully: "What? Sister, didn't you tell Er Xiao'er?"
"No, I haven't believed it yet, and I can't say it in advance," Wang Xiufen explained
"Son, it's like this. Your third aunt wants to introduce you to someone. The second girl from Lao Li's family in the neighboring village is 19 this year. She graduated from junior high school and has been helping at home. She is a very nice person and looks neat.
Let's take a look if you have time?" Wang Xiufen discussed with Zhang Peng
Zhang Peng was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and suddenly remembered that he should have met his wife Li Chunmei at this time, and was introduced by his third aunt. Later, they dated for half a year before they got married.
After getting married, the two of them started to be very affectionate and slowly worked hard to live a good life. However, things went against their expectations and life was always tepid. However, later Li Chunmei gave birth to a son and a daughter to Zhang Peng. They were considered to have both children. Until she was forty-seven years old.
That year, it was discovered that there was a malignant tumor on her waist. Treatment had not improved for a while and a lot of money had been spent. Then Li Chunmei decided to
She went home for conservative treatment, which she said was conservative treatment, but in fact she had given up treatment. She was reluctant to spend all the money they had worked hard to save on herself. She wanted to leave some savings for her children, so she
I endured the pain silently until the end of the year. Due to the severe spread of cancer cells and various complications, I reluctantly passed away.
Zhang Peng has always felt guilty towards her. After Li Chunmei's death, Zhang Peng did not marry again. He worked hard to raise his children, which could be regarded as some explanation for his late wife.
While Zhang Peng was stunned, Ma Lan had already introduced the woman's family. Her parents were farmers who worked hard, and her father died early. She was raised by her mother with all kinds of hard work. She also had a younger brother who was in school, and there were no relatives.
It’s complicated, but in short, it’s a family that lives a good life.
Zhang Peng came back to his senses and said with a smile: "Third Aunt, I can do it anytime, you just have to make arrangements."
Seeing that Zhang Peng had expressed his stance, Ma Lan said happily: "Okay, okay, I will reply to the woman when I get back, and then make an appointment to meet first, and then we will talk about the next step."
"Okay, just follow your arrangements, sister-in-law." Wang Xiufen took over and answered for Zhang Peng
"Okay, then I'll go back first. I'll settle this matter early and have a good night. I'm still anxious to drink Er Xiao'er's wedding wine." Malan stood up and prepared to walk out.
How could Zhang Peng and Wang Xiufen let her leave like this? Wang Xiufen grabbed Ma Lan and wanted to wait until lunch before leaving. Ma Lan refused repeatedly. Wang Xiufen also felt that it was too early and it was not realistic to wait for lunch, so she quickly ordered Zhang Peng
, go to the warehouse to get a fatter piece of bear meat and let Malan take it away.
Zhang Peng got up and went out. He went to the barn and picked out a fatter piece of bear meat. He strung it on a hemp rope and brought it in. The bear meat weighed about ten kilograms, so he handed the rope to Malan and said
He had beaten it himself and told her to take it back and try it. Ma Lan couldn't resist and could only walk out of the room with the bear meat. Wang Xiufen and Zhang Peng sent her to the entrance of the hospital and saw her slowly walking away with the meat.
Return to the house.
Wang Xiufen looked very excited when she returned to the house. Zhang Peng was already twenty, which is not considered young in rural areas. In the Northeast, people usually get married at eighteen or nineteen, and some even earlier, and Zhang
Peng's matter has always been a stone in her heart. She usually doesn't talk about it, but she has always had such a thing in her heart. When she got this good news today, it was like the stone was finally loose and slowly being lifted.
Get up.
"Son, just wait for the news from your third aunt in the next few days. I think it will be soon. Let's tidy up in the past two days, trim our hair and shave. When we hear the letter from over there, we will
"Go ahead" Wang Xiufen excitedly seemed to be talking to herself or giving orders to Zhang Peng
Seeing this, Zhang Peng took advantage of her happiness and followed what she said: "Okay, Mom, I'll pack up in the past two days. If I go up the mountain, I won't go hunting for now. I'll find a place first and wait.
During this period, I want to go to the mountains to build a cellar, get more skins before winter, and store some meat for the winter."
"Huh? Is it okay to live on the mountain? It's too dangerous, so just run back and forth like this." Wang Xiufen said worriedly after hearing this
"Mom, running back and forth like this is such a waste of time. I want to call Chunming with me so that we can have company, and get him a gun, so that we won't be in any danger."
Wang Xiufen thought about it and felt that it was reliable and there should be no danger, so she agreed. However, she still had to wait for Zhang Tiejun to come back to talk about it. But as long as she agreed at home, there would basically be no problem.
After a while, Zhao Chunming opened the door and walked in. When he saw Wang Xiufen, he said hello first, and then followed Zhang Peng to the West Room.
Zhang Peng went over the general plan when he came to the West House. Zhao Chunming jumped for joy when he heard that he also wanted a gun. This was what he had dreamed of. When he heard that Zhang Peng wanted to live in the mountains, he also patted his chest and agreed.
After he finished it, he knew that this was the harvest in autumn.
