"In a few days, it will be a small year, and after the fourth old man marries a daughter-in-law, our family has to kill pigs and hold a banquet, and there are still many things to be busy with.

Don't go to the mountains for a while, help at home, and handle the marriage of the fourth child well, right? ”

Zhou Guilan knew that her son couldn't come hard when he was older, and it was useless to beat and scold, so she could only push her son further.

Therefore, Zhou Guilan adopted a gentle policy, softened her tone, and showed concern and pleading in every word.

Xu Shiyan's original plan was to take advantage of the time when he was still in the big house to hunt as many prey as possible and save more money.

This place is remote and has a small population, and there is a lot of prey in the mountains, and he still has a gun and a dog in his hand.

When they move away in the future, the guns and dogs will have to be returned to the brigade, and there will be no such convenient conditions.

The Donggang side is densely populated, there are few wild beasts, and there is no chance to hunt anymore.

But my mother's words also make sense, and their brothers have been tossing a lot for a while, and many people in the village are blushing.

In a village, there are not only good people, but also bad people.

Although Xu Shiyan is not afraid of those people making trouble behind his back, he has to take care of his parents, and he can't let the old man worry too much.

Mom has a heart that loves her son, how can Xu Shiyan ignore it? I had no choice but to agree.

"Mom, we know, we will all stop at home in the future and help with the marriage."

Fortunately, I have done a lot of things recently, and there are a few black blind men.

Coupled with all kinds of skins or something, the brothers who sold it for five cents were probably divided into hundreds.

Okay, people are satisfied, and if they are too greedy, they are prone to accidents, so stop and rest.

Xu Chenghou scolded, and Zhou Guilan coaxed.

The husband and wife sang red face and white face, and finally persuaded their sons who had been hunting these days.

The Xu Shiyan brothers all agreed, except for those clips, they had to go to see it in a few days, and they would never go to the mountains to hunt.

Only then did the old couple put their hearts at ease, and the family returned to its former warmth and harmony.

This year, it is said that it is a marriage, but in fact, there is not much to do.

Now at this time, it is not said that you must buy a house for marriage, and there are many houses in the family, so you can pack up one and make a new house.

There are three rooms like the Xu family, and the house is opposite the kang, so they will clean up the east house and the north kang for the young couple.

If the family conditions are difficult, the family sleeps on a kang and has to get married.

Xu Chenghou knows carpenter's skills, and Xu Shixian and Xu Shi'an also learned a little, so there is no need to find a carpenter for furniture.

The furniture of these years is only those styles, and there is nothing difficult about it. The old man started to do it in winter, and he had already made the furniture.

There is no need to worry about the bedding or anything, Zhou Guilan prepared cotton and cloth early, and the quilt was brought back from Tonghua by Xu Shiyan.

There are not many two shops and two covers, Zhou Guilan led her daughter and daughter-in-law, and she had already made it and put it on the kangqin.

In the end, there is only a wedding day banquet that needs to be busy.

This is also easy, the Xu family raised two fat pigs and killed one on the twenty-fifth day of the lunar month.

In addition, Xu Shiyan sent back so much meat before, and he recently went up the mountain to fight, so it was not easy to hold a few tables of banquets?

What needs to be purchased is candy, tobacco and alcohol at the banquet.

So, on the day of the New Year, the Xu brothers borrowed horses from the brigade to climb the plow, and took them to the county seat with all kinds of skins and bear bile.

The Dongjiang River is along the Songhua River, and the river goes all the way to the north, confluence with the Tang River at the mouth of the Tang River, and then flows north through the west of the county.

Therefore, from the Dongjiang River to the county seat, there used to be a way to release the row in summer.

The wood is bundled together to make a wooden raft, and you can go down the river to the county seat.

In the past, some people went to the county seat to sell firewood, and most of them were in this way, and a few people could sit on the wooden raft.

This method has a certain danger, and with the construction of roads, slowly no one will let go.

In winter, it's easier, just pull people with horses and plows, and run north along the frozen river.

In winter, the ice on the river is more than a meter thick, let alone walking, and driving is no problem.

From the big house along the river all the way to the north, the horses climbed the plow and ran fast, and in two and a half hours, they arrived at the place.

This is faster and more free than walking to the Songjiang River and then taking a car from the Songjiang River to the county seat.

The horse climbed the plow and stopped under the bridge in the west of the county, but the embankment was too steep to climb the plow, so Xu Shixian was left to watch the plow.

The others went up the embankment and went straight to the acquisition station.

Approaching the end of the year, many hunters in the village want to sell the mountain goods in their hands and exchange them for money to buy New Year's goods, so there are many people in the purchase station.

Xu Shiyan queued up for a while, and then it was their turn, and he hurriedly took out all kinds of skins that he had hunted for a while, as well as three bear bile.

Of these three bear biles, one was snatched from under the tiger's mouth, and the other was killed by several brothers who killed the black blind man.

There is another one, which was met by taking Yang Chunming and others into the mountain.

Everything else is easy to say, the one that they got with Yang Chunming has to be booked separately, and it will be distributed to everyone after they go back.

Three bear galls, two copper and one grass, especially the brown bear, the big copper gall, one can top two.

These three galls alone were sold for two thousand and one, and the other gray squirrel skins, badger skins, otter skins, and sable skins were sold for another five hundred yuan.

tomato

It was sold for two thousand six hundred yuan at once, and the brothers were very happy, and the other people in the room were also looking at the hot eyes, and they were all envious.

Xu Shiyan took the money and directly gave the three brothers a hundred yuan each.

It's not a dividend, it's for them to buy something.

"Second brother, you accompanied the fourth child to buy candy, tobacco and alcohol, and the fifth brother, aren't you going to the bookstore to buy review materials? Hurry up.

I'll take the money, hurry up to find the eldest brother, we will wait for you under the bridge, come back soon after finishing the errands, we have to hurry home." ”

With so much money, Xu Shiyan didn't dare to walk around.

You must know that at this time, the county is crowded with people who come to do New Year's goods, what if there is a mistake?

Xu Shiyan had a knife on his body, and two guns were placed on the plow.

So after Xu Shiyan gave the brothers the money for purchase, he hurried out of the purchase station and went straight to the bridge to meet Xu Shixian.

Xu Shiyan hurriedly walked to the west river in the county seat, and did not notice that as soon as he came out of the acquisition station, someone followed behind him.

Several people followed Xu Shiyan to the river, and saw Xu Shiyan meeting and talking with a person on the river.

One of them hid in a hidden place and continued to star, while the others were sent back to report and call for help.

"Hurry up and report to Brother Sheng and Brother Cao, and say that the kid came to the county seat again last time.

This time they brought more money, so they were just the two of them, let Brother Sheng and Brother Cao bring more people, remember to bring the guys. ”

After a while, I saw a group of people running over in a hurry, and the leader was the one Xu Shiyan met last time.

There was another person next to him, not too tall, with a little fierceness between his eyebrows and eyes, and a bulging waist, as if he was carrying something.

"Where? Damn, I let him run away last time, and this time I have to kill him. The leader asked.

"It's right under the bridge." Someone pointed to the river.
