Chapter 189: Into the Mountain!
~~~~~~~
With Zhou Quanbei's supervision, everything went a lot smoother.
The second uncle even directly brought the board and a pig-killing knife, and dismantled the fat pig into eight pieces, of course, the best piece of hind leg meat was left to grandma, and the rest was divided equally by everyone.
There are also all kinds of clothes, towels, snacks, candies and other miscellaneous items, which are also shared by everyone, and everyone can at least hold a big bag and smile on everyone's face.
In addition to Zhou Quanbei, Cui Yun seems to have become the core of the cousins, and after they finished receiving their things, they gathered around Cui Yun, Yingying Yanyan, wanting to understand life in the city and the world outside the mountains through Cui Yun.
Cui Yun has a gentle temperament, and in the face of her own sisters, she naturally has no shelf, and she introduces them one by one, which attracts a kind of cousins' affection.
However, Zhou Quanbei heard it, and between the lines of Cui Yun's words, all the time, they were revealing openly or implicitly, that only by following Xiaobei's younger brother would the sisters have a better life.
Zhou Quanbei couldn't help but be a little speechless.
This is clearly the job of the 'instructor' every Wednesday. It seems that among the fifty or sixty people under her control, Sister Yun has grown up a lot.
Thinking about it, Zhou Quanbei couldn't help but shake his head and smile.
Everyone's ability may be big or small, but not everyone can have a platform. After standing on a high place for a long time, the mood, vision, and means will naturally 'rise the tide and lift all boats'.
Fortunately, Cui Yun seized this opportunity, and Zhou Quanbei did the same.
It's just that at this time, Zhou Quanbei's eyes were attracted by this compound.
In my memory, my mother Cui Yulian once mentioned to Zhou Quanbei many times that the ancestor of my grandmother's family was once a big landlord in this area, and my ancestor was a high-ranking official in the last years of a certain dynasty.
Originally, the Cui family's house was several times larger than now, but many years ago, due to war and flash floods, a large part of it was destroyed in the long river of history.
In the past, Zhou Quanbei did not pay attention, but now it is seen, although this house is at the edge of the village, but sitting on the mountain and looking at the water, looking up is the turquoise green mountain, and the east is a trickling river, the scenery, feng shui, are excellent.
It's a treasure.
In the past, Zhou Quanbei had no ability, even in the later generations, he was just a small 'contractor', but now~......
Zhou Quanbei suddenly looked at the mansion and had a strong thought.
"Hehe~~."
At this time, a chuckle beside him interrupted Zhou Quanbei's deep thought.
Zhou Quanbei looked back, but saw Gong Xue's faint smiling face, Zhou Quanbei couldn't help but smile, "What?" Brother Gong? What do you have for advice? ”
Gong Xue smiled indifferently, and gently played with a small ruler in her hand that could not be seen, but she really had a bit of the temperament of an ancient noble son, "Brother Zhou is a good means." I originally thought that Brother Zhou was just obsessed with the future, but now I look at it, Brother Zhou, you are also very good at governing your family. ”
Zhou Quanbei's brows couldn't help frowning slightly, and his face was slightly cold, "Brother Gong, Zhou is stupid, I don't quite understand what you mean!" ”
"Hahaha~!" Gong Xue laughed, "Brother Zhou, what are you afraid of?" I can't eat people! It's only going to help you make money! ”
Zhou Quanbei simply ignored Gong Xue's little girl, but she smiled and played with the small ruler in her hand, and said: "Governing a big country is like cooking a small fresh!" ”

After distributing the gifts, under the command of the eldest uncle and the second uncle, the whole family mobilized, the stove was burning, the second uncle specially killed a majestic rooster, and the uncle ran to the entrance of the village, bought a fat sheep, killed the chicken and slaughtered the sheep.
Soon, a large pot of hot mutton soup with a strong fishy smell, plus various local vegetables, was put on the table.
Cui Yun smiled: "Xiaobei, you finally came back once, this time, you must eat and drink well!" ”
Zhou Quanbei smiled, "Sister Yun, you paid for the money that my uncle bought the sheep just now, right?" ”
Cui Yun was stunned, "Xiaobei, I'm sorry, I, I don't want to spend money indiscriminately, I just want to treat you well......"
Zhou Quanbei hurriedly shook Cui Yun's little hand, and said in a low voice: "Sister Yun, if you say this again, I'm going to spank you!" Remember, you are the most important! Money is nothing but something outside the body. When we leave, you will leave 20,000 yuan for your family. Grandma left 10,000 yuan, and the eldest uncle and second uncle's house, each left 5,000. ”
Cui Yun was ashamed and happy, bit her red lip, and nodded lightly.
Soon, the banquet officially began, the dishes were originally placed on three tables, but Zhou Quanbei insisted on combining the three small tables into a big table, grandma sat at the top, and the family all sat around the table.
This time Zhou Quanbei came back and brought back so many things, it was even more lively than the New Year, and many neighbors also saw the grand occasion here and came over to join in the fun.
It's a pity that Zhou Quanbei brought too few things, just enough for the family, not enough to distribute to them, Zhou Quanbei had to smoke one by one, say hello one by one, but he has a long memory in his heart, next time he comes, he must specially let people drive two large box trucks over.
And because he was going up the mountain in the afternoon, Zhou Quanbei didn't drink too much wine, but his grandmother, especially the eldest uncle and second uncle, was really happy.
Zhou Quanbei's appearance this time is like 'a long drought and a rain', so that a group of relatives can see 'hope'!
The eldest uncle drank better, barely making a fool of himself, but the second uncle finally lay directly under the table, but he was still laughing, "Xiaobei, you are a good boy!" Second uncle can't stand you! I'm sorry for you! Still, don't worry! In the future, if there is anything going on at home, if you don't nod, it doesn't count! ”
The eldest uncle also nodded again and again, "Xiaobei, I can't count on your second uncle, but these descendants in the family, girls, have to rely on you more!" ”
Zhou Quanbei immediately smiled and said, "Elders and sisters, please rest assured, with my Zhou Quanbei to eat, you will never be hungry!" I still have something to do this time, when I come back, the sisters want to follow me and Sister Yun to do it, I'll bring it! ”
A group of cousins couldn't help cheering when they saw Zhou Quanbei's clear statement!
Looking at their smiling faces, Zhou Quanbei was also infected.
To be honest, for Zhou Quanbei at this time, solving their work problems is just a matter of one sentence, even if it is to let them enter the bureau office yamen in Pingzhou and have a formal establishment, it is just a gesture.
However, if there is no bitterness, who cares about sweetness?
Let each man walk his own way.
Although they are of the same bloodline, but each of them has different temperaments, Zhou Quanbei is a human being in two lives, but he has never been arrogant, anyway, they are still young, what road they want to take in the future, what road they can take, it depends on the choice and ability of each of them.

The meal was not finished until more than two o'clock in the afternoon.
Zhou Quanbei always thought that Gong Xue, who was born on Hong Kong Island, would not adapt to this environment, but she didn't expect that she was comfortable and happy to enjoy it, and even drank two small bowls of local wine, and her little face was flushed, which made Zhou Quanbei look at her a little impressed.
After eating and chatting with everyone for a while, Zhou Quanbei stopped inking, informed his uncle, asked him to communicate with the village, and then packed up his equipment and prepared to go up the mountain.
More than ten miles near this mountain, Xiaowang Village can be an origin, to the east, there are more than a dozen villages in succession, but to the west, it is a group of mountains, it can be said that it is basically a no-man's land.
Although Zhou Quanbei and the others are fully prepared, in order to prevent accidents, communicate with the village in advance, if they really encounter trouble, they can rescue them as soon as possible, anyway, Zhou Quanbei is not short of this little money.
Seeing Zhou Quanbei and a few people set off, the uncle wanted to persuade him, but he didn't dare to persuade him, so he had to say: "Xiaobei, be careful all the way!" Fortunately, it's summer, and the danger in the mountains is not too big! But mosquitoes, insects, etc., you have to guard against them! ”
Zhou Quanbei nodded with a smile, "Uncle, don't worry!" These are all ready! Okay, don't give it away! I'm not unfamiliar with this place, let's just go up by ourselves! ”
By the time Zhou Quanbei and the three of them crossed the first mountain, Xiaowang Village had already become a picture at their feet.
Zhou Quanbei opened the tennis bag, 'clicked', and tried the performance of the three earthen guns respectively, and gave them to Cui Yun and Gong Xue respectively.
At this time, counting the equipment, the weight of the three people in Zhou Quanbei was about more than 20 kilograms, and Zhou Quanbei carried these three earthen guns when he came to the north, which obviously increased the weight of some weight.
Although Zhou Quanbei is a man, this kind of condition, the equipment is still reasonably distributed, and it is more scientific to make full use of personal physical strength.
Gong Xue didn't have anything, she took Zhou Quanbei's earthen gun, pushed it into the load, took the bullet box, put on a bullet, and was about to test the gun.
Zhou Quanbei stopped her, "Brother Gong, it's too loud here, let's go further and try again." ”
Gong Xue also understood, and nodded with a smile, "Brother Zhou, I listen to you." ”
Cui Yun was a little speechless, although she was a girl in the mountains, she was a girl after all, and she was not interested in this kind of thing at all.
Zhou Quanbei said with a smile: "Sister Yun, when you get to the mountains, I'll teach you!" ”
Cui Yun smiled, hurriedly loaded the earthen gun, and carried it on his shoulder.
After resting for a while, several people continued to move forward.
With the distance of the road, the alcohol in Zhou Quanbei's body also evaporated out of his body with sweat, and his mind became more and more clear.
After a few people crossed the second mountain, the road began to become steep, or rather, there was no road ahead at all. Everywhere there are dense thorns and trees.
Fortunately, several people are all mountaineering shoes and hiking pants produced by the United States, and the impact is not very great, but the physical strength is greatly reduced.
According to what Zhou Quanbei learned, back then, the old battlefield was about dozens of miles away from Xiaowang Village, but because the years were too long and the physical environment was changing too fast, there was no one who could accurately tell the location of that year.
Fortunately, there is not much wind and waves in Pingzhou at this time, and the time in Zhouquanbei is enough.
The group walked forward again, climbing two hills in succession, and by this time, the sun had set in the west, and the sunset on the horizon was red.
Zhou Quanbei looked at his watch, it was already 8 o'clock in the evening.
At this time, if you continue to walk at night, it is obviously irrational.
Zhou Quanbei unloaded the earthen gun on his back, filled it with a bullet, pushed it into the chamber with a 'click', and said with a smile: "Brother Gong, Sister Yun, it's almost here, let's try this guy first~~~, and then find a place to camp!" ”
