Era: Craftsmen in the Siheyuan

Chapter 109: Drinking with neighbors

In the early days of the founding of the country, the Constitution gave citizens the right to "freedom of residence and movement."

Xu Huisu heard this and said: "My home is here and my job is here. Why move here? Besides, once you register in the city, you will lose your land. It is more reassuring to have land."

From Seo Hwi-sol's point of view, there is nothing wrong with thinking this way, and it is reasonable.

Xu Deyong smiled and said: "Then my sister-in-law and two children can move. After all, the educational conditions in the city are much better."

Li Xiufang said nonchalantly: "Hey, as long as you are willing to learn, it doesn't matter where you study. There is no need to worry."

Xu Hui said bluntly: "What your sister-in-law said makes sense. Okay, let's not talk about these things. If you want to find Lin Chao, just follow the rural road to the east and look near Niushan. If you can't find it, don't go too far. If you want to play, you can go to the Chaobai River and play.”

When Xiao Huzi heard this, his eyes bulged and he looked over and said, "Dad, I want to go with you."

Xiao Yan'er said in a clear voice: "I'm going too, I want to go on the ice and play with the ice car."

Xu Huisu scratched his head and said, "I just went there for a few days. If my dad doesn't go today, I have to go back to work. I'll take you guys there again on the weekend."

"Oh." Xiao Yan'er said "oh" with some disappointment.

Little Huzi stared at his round eyes and said, "I'm going to play with Brother Hunter. Brother Hunter has a slingshot, and Uncle Lin Chao takes him to shoot birds."

Xu Hui said: "You are still young. When you grow up, dad will make one for you and let your uncle Lin Chao take you out to play."

"Huh, no, Brother Hunter can go out and play." Xiao Huzi said with tears in his eyes.

Xu Huisu glared and said, "If you don't obey me, I'll beat your ass."

When the little tiger heard this, he hid in his mother's arms and dropped the golden beans with his small mouth.

Xu Deyong smiled and saw that they had no plans to change their household registration and did not try to persuade them. After all, there were advantages and disadvantages at this time. His personal ideas were different, and it was also because the household registration management was not strict at this time.

But after this autumn, a large number of farmers, demobilized soldiers and rural cadres flowed into major cities and key industrial construction areas, seriously exceeding the city's carrying capacity. Coupled with material shortages, the unemployment rate remained high, while the population flowing into the city was still relatively high. is constantly increasing.

In order to prevent the continued large-scale outflow of rural people, control the population capacity of big cities, and ensure the supply of basic daily necessities and minimum social welfare in cities, the state has successively issued the "Instructions on Preventing the Blind Outflow of Rural Population" and the "Instructions on Preventing the Blind Outflow of Rural Population". Supplementary Instructions" and "Instructions on Stopping Blind Outflow of Rural Population".

A strict urban population management system has been adopted and linked to the grain and oil supply system, employment system and social welfare system to alleviate the serious imbalance between urban material supply and demand.

Blind outflow, referred to as blind outflow, is how blind outflow comes about.

By [-], the "Household Registration Regulations" were established, and the household registration management system was established in the form of legislation. Household registration deeply penetrated into all aspects of urban residents' lives, which invisibly gave birth to a dual economic pattern of "mutual separation" between urban and rural areas. .

After Xu Hui took the lead in training the child, he smiled and said to Xu Deyong: "You can't get used to this child, especially a boy, otherwise he will want to go to heaven and make the girl obedient."

Li Xiufang gently patted Xiao Huzi's butt without interrupting.

Xu Deyong said: "What Brother Huisi said makes sense, but when children do something right, they should be encouraged and praised more."

Xu Hui stood up and said noncommittally: "Hey, you will know when you have children. You are busy every day. How can you think of coaxing them to play? I go back to work, and I will come back to drink with you after get off work."

"Take it."

Xu Deyong said and threw him a pack of cigarettes. Seeing that he was about to refuse, he said, "If you don't take it, I'll leave!"

"Yes!" Xu Huizhui was not a wordy person, so he stuffed it into his pocket and said, "Then I won't be polite to you, so I'm leaving."

Xu Deyong filled the kettle with water, opened the wooden box under the tricycle with the key, "took out" his air gun, and put the hunting knife on his waist.

The big black dog, which had been lying down and looking at him, tilted its head and stood up.

Li Xiufang was slightly startled when she suddenly saw him taking out a gun.

Xu Deyong smiled and explained: "Sister-in-law, don't be nervous. This is just an air gun. It can only shoot birds and rabbits. It is only a toy for older children in the city."

Li Xiufang breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Oh, it's an air gun. In fact, it's fine even with a real gun. I've also done target shooting."

"That sister-in-law is also a hero among women." Xu Deyong smiled.

"Hey, what kind of hero among women? Who among the young people today has never touched a gun." Li Xiufang said: "You have to be careful on the way to find Lin Chao. Don't go to untraveled places. Be careful of someone's trap."

"I know, thank you sister-in-law for reminding me." Xu Deyong nodded.

When Xiao Huzi saw Xu Deyong take out the air gun, he ran over with bright eyes and tears on his face. He couldn't help but look at it enviously with his fingers in his mouth.

Xu Deyong smiled and touched his little head and said, "Want to take a shot?"

The little tiger immediately nodded and said: "Uncle, shoot."

This kid already knows how to bend and stretch at a young age.

Xu Deyong pointed the air gun to the ground and said: "Mm."

Xiao Huzi immediately hugged his hands and grinned sillyly at the air gun that was taller than him.

Saw a bird landing on the roof.

He then shouted: "Uncle, beat the house bird, beat the house bird..."

Xu Deyong said: "Okay, then I'll give you one to play with."

He took the air gun, cocked it, inserted the lead bullet, and aimed at a sparrow on the wall.

"Crack."

After a soft sound, the sparrow fell from his wall.

"It's hit, it's hit..." The little tiger immediately ran out to pick it up happily.

Xiao Yaner also followed.

Soon the little tiger came back with great energy, holding a sparrow in his hand.

Xiao Yan'er came over and said a little shyly: "Uncle, I want a live one..."

Xu Deyong smiled and said: "Then my shooting skills are not that accurate. If you want to catch them alive, you can use a flashlight to shine on their nests at night. Even if you catch them, it will be difficult to feed them."

Xiao Huzi looked at the sparrow in his hand and said, "Uncle, I also want a live one."

"Then I'll take a look." Xu Deyong said.

He shot three times, one shot missed, one shot killed him, and the third shot hit the blind cat in the leg and finally left him alive.

The siblings were very happy to catch the little sparrow.

The little sparrow definitely doesn’t think so….

Li Xiufang said: "Okay, don't pester your uncle Yong all the time. Your uncle Yong still wants to go out."

"Oh..." the siblings said a little disappointed.

Xu Deyong smiled and said: "Then I will let each of you take a shot. Can you just listen to your mother at home?"

"Okay." The two children became energetic again.

Xu Deyong loaded the lead bullets, and the two boys took turns pulling the triggers and firing. Naturally, no hair was hit, but their faces were still red with excitement.

After that, Xu Deyong put on his air gun and went out, heading east to Niushan along the country road...

Half an hour later, his figure appeared on Niushan Mountain. Niushan Mountain was not high, only more than 80 meters.

Standing on a high place, you can see the ice surface of Chaobai River reflecting light in the sun.

In the past, this river was an important water transport trunk line. On the fourth peak of Niushan Mountain there is the "Queen Mother Xiao's grain viewing pier", which is one foot three feet high and nine feet in diameter. Legend has it that it was built by the Empress Dowager Xiao of the Liao Dynasty to watch the grain transportation scene of the Baihe River. .

There is Lingji Mountain behind Niushan Mountain, with a solitary peak rising out of it. Lingji Temple is built on the mountain, commonly known as Toutuo Temple.

There is also a hill on the other side of the river, called Hunu Mountain.

The great river surrounds the desolate ridge, and there is an infinite screen between the eyes.

"Yo ho..."

Xu Deyong opened his arms and screamed wantonly, like a dick!
However, it frightened a few pheasants.

He chased after him excitedly.

"Wow woof woof..."

At this time, a dog barked in the distance.Xu Deyong squinted and saw that it was a yellow dog that looked very ferocious. There was a figure not far behind who looked like Lin Chao.

He walked forward for a while and shouted, "Is this Brother Lin Chao?"

The figure came closer, touched the big yellow dog's head to comfort him, looked at him and said, "It's me, are you Brother Deyong?"

"Haha." Xu Deyong said with a smile: "It's me, Brother Lin Chao. I heard from Brother Huizhu that you were nearby and came here specifically to play with you."

While they were talking, the two of them got closer. He glanced at the yellow dog and praised, "This dog is really well led."

The so-called: eyes are like brass bells, ears are like forks, tail is stuck in the waist, legs are like Zhaiba, and when you see wild animals, you are your enemy.

Lin Chao was more happy when he heard the praise for his dog than for him. He smiled and said: "It's okay, Dahuang can be my good partner."

When he saw the gun Xu Deyong was holding, he smiled and said, "What you are holding is an air gun."

"Hehe." Xu Deyong said with a smile: "I'm just playing with you as a toy. You have to be stricter in the city."

Lin Chao nodded and said: "That's right, let's go, I'll take you to play. I've put a few condoms over there and won't let you go."

"Sure." Xu Deyong said calmly: "There shouldn't be any large prey around here, right?"

Lin Chao said: "Not many. The mountains here are not high and the forests are not dense. Sometimes wild boars will appear when the food is ripe. But if you really want to fight the big ones, you have to go to the mountains in the northwest."

As he spoke, he took off the shotgun on his shoulder and said: "So usually this shotgun made of iron sand is enough for me when I'm nearby. The one made by Hanyang is overkill."

Xu Deyong said: "Brother Lin Chao knows better."

Lin Chao smiled and said: "You must be a good hunter outside, hmm, have you ever hunted one? Just for fun!"

Xu Deyong took the heavy shotgun, took a look at it and said, "Hey, this is still exciting."

At this time, Dahuang suddenly showed a vigilant look and ran out without Lin Chao's orders.

"Whoosh..."

A rabbit was chased out of the grass.

Don't be too coquettish about the rabbit's movements. It will be difficult for a hunting dog to catch it with rhubarb alone.

However, Dahuang is extremely smart and apparently often cooperates with Lin Chao to drive hares near Lin Chao.

Lin Chao took the shotgun, chased it some distance, found a good position and fired.

"Boom."

The gunshot sounded, and the rabbit rolled and fell to the ground. Rhubarb chased after him and picked it up to take credit.

Lin Chao directly bled the rabbit, picked out the internal organs and rewarded it with rhubarb, and said with a smile: "I have good luck today. It must be the good luck brought by Brother Deyong."

Xu Deyong said: "Don't praise me, I can't even compare to Rhubarb."

Lin Chao finished cleaning up and buried the traces with soil, and said: "Tonight's snacks are ready, come on, don't hit my dog."

"Don't worry." Xu Deyong took the shotgun and, under the guidance of Lin Chao, put gunpowder and steel sand on it.

The two of them walked all the way towards the Chaobai River.

Rhubarb kept sniffing around and looking around, very alert...

……

The sun was about to set, and two people and one dog returned with a full load, two hares and three pheasants.

It wasn't until they reached the main road that Lin Chao put the cigarette that Xu Deyong had given him to his ear, put it in his mouth, lit it, and took a nice puff.

He exhaled a puff of smoke and said, "You take a rabbit and two pheasants and go to Brother Hui's house first. I'll take the rest and go home."

Xu Deyong nodded and said, "Okay, I'll wait for you."

The two separated on the road, and Xu Deyong returned to Xu Hui's home with the prey in hand.

The two little guys immediately gathered around. The little tiger poked the rabbit and said, "The rabbit is dead again. It can only eat meat."

Xiao Yan'er looked at the pheasant and said, "Uncle, I want nice-looking feathers."

Xu Deyong smiled and said: "Okay, it's all yours, no one will compete with you."

The little girl smiled happily.

Li Xiufang said generously: "I know you won't leave empty-handed. I have already boiled the hot water. Leave it to me. You can go inside and rest."

Xu Deyong was really tired after leaving, so he said: "Sister-in-law, I won't be polite to you anymore. If you have anything to do, please give me your instructions."

"Sure." Li Xiufang agreed.

……

It was another sumptuous dinner in the evening, with Xu Deyong and three people drinking, smoking and chatting.

We are brothers, why should we be close by flesh and blood? We can have fun together, fight and drink with our neighbors.

The next day, Xu Deyong followed Xu Hui to the winery, loaded the jars filled with wine into the truck and sealed them.

Xu Hui led him outside the factory and said, "Slow down on the road, don't be in a hurry."

Xu Deyong waved his hand and said, "Don't worry."

At this time, Lin Chao ran over with a small bamboo basket in his hand, exhaling white breath and said: "Brother Deyong, wait a moment."

He put the small bamboo basket in the car and said, "I went to check the bags early in the morning and got two hares. I simply skinned them and cleaned them up. You go back and take one with sister Huizhen. Don't dislike it."

Xu Deyong smiled and said: "Brother Lin Chao, you are out of touch when you say this. How can you dislike it? It's not too late to be happy, so I accepted it. Next time I bring you two boxes of cigarettes, you are not allowed to refuse. .”

"Sure." Lin Chao smiled angrily.

Xu Deyong said goodbye to the two of them, got on his tricycle and started on the way back...

……

At around two o'clock in the afternoon, Xu Deyong arrived at the tavern in the dust and found that the tavern was already open.

The film master was not at the door today. He was wandering the streets selling foreign movies somewhere.

He took the bamboo basket in first.

Xu Huizhen was lowering her head to figure things out, her dark braids hanging on her chest. When she heard the movement, she looked up, her almond-shaped eyes lit up, and she said with a clear smile: "I'm back, earlier than last time."

At this moment, Xu Deyong's heart was throbbing a little, and he wanted to hold her on his lap... and let her continue counting.

He raised his hat, grinned and showed his white teeth and said: "If you are familiar with the road, you will naturally have to go faster, otherwise people will say that you are familiar with the road."

Then he walked over and handed over the bamboo basket and said: "There are two prepared hares in here, given by Brother Lin Chao. I have benefited from you, and I have one."

Xu Huizhen pursed her lips and revealed a hint of memory: "Brother Lin Chao has liked to catch things since he was a child. He can't catch anything running in the mountains or swimming in the water."

Xu Deyong nodded and said: "Brother Lin Chao is indeed very powerful. Please put it away. I will move the wine first."

He moved jars one by one into the tavern, filling the big wine jar that sold wine first, and then moved the rest to the back.

Soon there was only one altar left in the car. He opened the cotton curtain and came out. When he saw the scene outside, his eyes narrowed slightly.

I saw three young men in patched gray clothes sizing up his tricycle. They were patting each other and kicking each other. One of them came close to the wine jar and took a deep sip. He said intoxicatedly: "Well, it's really good." Wine, I must have a few glasses of wine today.”

Rat poop exists at all times, it’s just that there is more poop and less poop!

In later generations, some people are still there even after their children die, and their shit is passed down to three generations.

Xu Deyong walked over and said with a smile: "Why, brothers are surrounding my car. What advice do you have?"

……

　Thanks to "Rice Noodle Soup", "Picked up a Wallet on the Road" and other brothers for their monthly passes

　　Thank you brothers for every support
