Chapter 173: Winter Leisure and Good Livelihood

Er Laizi wants to kill two birds with one stone, and now there are good signs, he is very proud, and the horse is also riding fast.

The wild nature of Qiqige's horse seems to be more suitable for people like Er Laizi, out of Xi'an County, all the way to the southwest, seeing the vast wilderness, the horse seems to find the feeling of the prairie, and it is also very exciting to run.

The East Liao River runs through the county seat of Xi'an, and the county seat is less than 20 kilometers away from the bank of the Liao River where Pan Tao is located, and it takes a quarter of an hour for the horses to run.

The vast wilderness, sparsely populated, and the winding Dongliao River has been covered with snow, looking like a white dragon.

The banks of the river are flanked by marshes, covered with willows and reeds in the snow, and this is a haven for pheasants, sand pheasants and sparrows, and the sudden cries of male pheasants can be heard from time to time.

With the help of memory, Erlaizi easily found the place he had been.

In a mountain depression on the bank of the Dongliao River, several rows of houses, a large chimney is emitting white smoke, which is where the breeding farm in Xi'an County is located.

This breeding farm is said to have been a horse breeding farm during the Japanese Pseudo-Japanese period, but after liberation, it was converted into a breeding farm, raising not only horses, but also cattle, sheep and pigs, and providing breeding stock for each commune.

Pan Tao's family lives in those rows of houses, and Er Laizi heard Pan Tao say that her house is next to the Dongliao River and is a single thatched house.

Erlaizi rode a horse to the residential area of the breeding farm, and the residents here were not surprised, and people often led their cattle here to breed or buy breeding stock.

Er Laizi asked the children who were playing about Pan Tao's home, and the shepherd boy pointed to Xinghua Village, where he easily found the two thatched houses and led the horse directly into the courtyard.

Pan Tao happened to be at home, saw someone riding a horse, went out to check, and saw that it was Erlaizi, as if the stupid wife was waiting for the man, and suddenly the man appeared in front of him, the joy and excitement were indescribable, and he stood at the door in a daze and smirked, and then almost cried.

"Why are you here, you thought you were a negative person, and you must have forgotten me." Pan Tao stepped forward and kicked Er Laizi hard.

"I have to come here to kick you, I want you to die." Erlaizi threw off the reins and wanted to kiss Pan Tao.

"Shameless, and not afraid of being seen." Pan Tao muttered while settling the horse, "People miss you too, but they don't want you to come, as if they are looking forward to the stars and the moon." ”

"So what are you waiting for? Wait a little longer, and I'll be poking a hole in my crotch. Er Laizi teased Pan Tao out of tune.

"It's really not a shame, hee~hee~," Pan Tao said with a red face, "It'll make you a deflated eggplant for a while." ”

The two of them couldn't wait to enter the house, and were about to open the overture, and the first wave came, but they knew that there were many good things, and someone walked into the courtyard.

"Is Pan Tao at home?" A man in his early fifties shouted from outside the courtyard.

Er Laizi and Pan Tao hurriedly sorted out their sleeves, and Pan Tao responded: "Coming, coming." ”

The person who came was the farm elder Wan, and Pan Tao also had a leg, he heard that someone rode a horse to Pan Tao's house, and he intended to rush over to investigate.

"Whose horse is this? Have relatives come here? Lao Wan asked vigilantly.

"My mother's brother came to see me from the countryside, let's go, go into the house and see me, I'll get a few dishes, let him drink a few cups with you, but I don't have any wine here."

"It's your brother, I still think who's going to occupy my mountain." Lao Wan said obscenely, "Since my brother-in-law is here, I'll go back and get wine, I still have roast chicken, I say that the chicken looks beautiful to you, wait." ”

"Fuck you, you're not serious, and you're not afraid of letting my brother hear it." Pan Tao said and sent Lao Wan away.

Back in the house, Pan Tao asked Er Laizi to march quickly to occupy the high ground, after some chopping waves, the two got up and got dressed, Pan Tao asked Er Laizi to act as her younger brother, temporarily changed his surname, and Qiao Hu changed his name to Pan Hu.

After a while, Elder Wan came to Pan Tao's house with a wine bottle and roast chicken

When Er Laizi saw it, he tried his best to compliment him, but he wanted to greet his ancestors in his heart.

Pan Tao boiled a few salted duck eggs, stewed frozen tofu with Chinese cabbage, and fried shredded potatoes, and the three of them crossed their legs on the kang, illuminated by a kerosene lamp, and raised their glasses and drank.

Er Laizi clarified the purpose of his visit, not only to visit his sister, but also to break the ice and fish in winter, with Pan Tao's relationship, Lao Wan expressed his full support, not only free of charge to provide horse feed, but also to provide icebreaker and fishing tools, to ensure that Er Laizi has no worries.

Damn, this is the invincible power of women, and there is a privilege in the sassy nest.

Er Laizi was interested, a few glasses of wine in his stomach, he pretended to be drunk, unconscious, and from time to time the most beautiful voice in the world came from his ears, until the old immortal left, he was able to start all over again.

Pan Tao boiled a large pot of water, and the two of them soaked in the vat one after another, Pan Tao took the initiative to take a bath for Er Laizi, rubbing off almost two taels of mud, and Er Laizi enjoyed such a super-high treatment for the first time in his life.

came and did not be rude, Er Laizi also rubbed his body for Pan Tao, and he couldn't help but start to study in depth while rubbing.

The night is always short, and the second day quietly comes, Pan Tao accompanies Er Laizi to pull the climbing plow and ice-breaking net fishing tools, and comes to the swamp on the edge of the Dongliao River, specifically looking for those puddles and ponds.

Based on Er Laizi's experience, in the middle of winter, it is difficult to catch fish in the Dongliao River, but in these places, he is more sure.

As expected, several ice caves were dug, and crucian carp and toads jumped out on their own, going down in a net, and the loaches went up in a group.

Pan Tao lives by the Dongliao River, he only knows that there are fish in the Dongliao River, and few people go to the puddle of Liumaodianzi to fish like Er Laizi, so many harvests that she did not expect.

The more Lai Zi caught it, the more addicted he became, and he caught a bag of fish in one day's work, which was enough for 100 catties.

Erlaizi lived in Pan Tao's house for three days, caught nearly 300 catties of fish and red-bellied frogs, left some for Pan Tao, gave some to Lao Wan, and sold some on the spot in the breeding farm, early on the fourth day, he put the remaining more than 200 catties of fish in two bags, put them on horseback, and happily rode back to Xingfutun.

He made an appointment with Pan Tao to come back in a few days.

Er Laizi went to the city to sell mountain goods and fish, and the members and masses of Xingfutun did not have any illusions about him, on the contrary, some people even talked behind his back that Er Laizi rode into the city on horseback, and if he didn't get it, he would be in danger of deceiving and selling the horse.

What everyone didn't expect was that Er Laizi returned with a full load, not only did Qiqige's horse not suffer any mistakes, but also sold the mountain goods at a good price, and got back two bags of fish that were enough to make everyone in Tunli envious.

The members of the club also made a novel discovery, Er Laizi came back from the city this time, his face was clean, his hands were not dirty, he looked much cleaner, and the whole person seemed to have become foreign.

Erlaizi can also show off, his waist is straight, and he bragged when he saw the people in Tunli, as if he had discovered a new continent.

lent Qiqige's horse to Er Laizi, and he didn't have a score in his heart, and if there was any mistake, he couldn't get rid of it.

Fortunately, Er Laizi came back, not only did not slap him in the face, but made his eyes shine.

In order to expand the results of the battle and ensure that this way of making money can be long-lasting, Er Laizi is well versed in the truth of reluctance.

The fish brought back from the Dongliao River, he first generously gave the old father-in-law's stubborn family more than ten catties, he was a whisker, and when he returned the horse, he gave Toya and Qiqige more than ten catties, he was for the convenience of borrowing the horse next time.

The rest of the fish paid homage to his father Qiao Horn, plus returned the money from selling two roosters and mountain goods, which made Qiao Horn and his wife Qin Xiaoyu look at Er Laizi with admiration, so they stewed the fish that night and invited Er Lai Zi and Baiqiu to taste it together.

Baiqiu is even happier, she has never seen so many fish and a lot of change, and her husband is clean from top to bottom, which makes her feel a lot more decent when she sees outsiders.

Er Laizi began to exchange fish for mountain goods in his yard, and he also wanted geese and roosters, and the people in Tunli who knew Xin'er were scrambling, and there were less than 200 catties of fish left, and they would change their work for a while.

Erlaizi doesn't need to weigh the mountain goods, he doesn't care about giving more people in Tunli, he wants to come to Japan for a long time.

The fish was gone, and some members were willing to bring mountain goods, chickens, ducks and geese, and entrust them to Er Laizi to sell them in the city.

Erlai Zi is correct, he knows that there is a price difference to be made, and there is a lot of money, helping the people of Tunli to sell mountain goods and poultry, how much money to give, the people of Tunli are satisfied and recognized, and only he knows how much he earns.

In fact, Er Laizi went to the city once in three or five days, and each time he could return with a full load, and he gained a lot.

When the militia heard about it, they investigated whether Er Laizi had engaged in speculation, but found no evidence of his reselling and reselling, so they had to give up.

Erlaizi goes to the mountains, fishes, makes money and has a private meeting with Pan Tao, and he is never tired of it.

Yakzi led the members to finish the stone for the collective, entered the wax moon, and approached the Spring Festival, and the members were completely idle at home in winter.

At this time, the members of the club had no other livelihood except weaving baskets, collecting manure, beating sparrows, grinding rice and flour, and going up the mountain to chop firewood.

Idlers get together to play cards, and busy people always have endless work.

In addition to caring about the livestock feeding of the production team, some chores in the society are enough for him to worry about.

According to the approval of the commune, in the name of the people's commune, the Xingfutun production team set up a dairy cow group, and the feed and milk were accounted for separately, Dahan became the leader of the dairy group, and Toya and Qiqige became full-time breeders and milkers.

This matter is compared with the previous daily distribution of milk to the members of the society, although it has been changed, but the other production teams are still very angry.

Envy is accompanied by jealousy, and behind jealousy is to do things, and even make things bad, and the yak is always on the cusp.

The other members of the production team were not reconciled, and took the Bentun production captain to talk about things, and the production team leader blamed all the reasons for the yakzi, and even fabricated a crime for the yakzi in front of Liu Zhishu of the production brigade: undermining the fair order of the people's commune.

The gun shot the first bird, and Liu Zhishu of the brigade made a loss of face because of the refusal of his daughter Liu Tong by the yak, and he was always very uncomfortable in his heart, and he wanted to take a break in the sharpness of the yakzi.

However, after all, he is the secretary of the production brigade, and it cannot be seen that he is an official and a personal grudge.

Liu Zhishu showed generosity everywhere on the surface, not only appeasing the captains of the production teams, but also earning pockets for the yaks in many public occasions. However, secretly, he hoped that the stronger the voices and repercussions of the masses, the better, and that the accusations of the Yakzi would ferment as much as possible, and that he would only wait for a suitable opportunity.
