Chapter 158 Chapter 157
Chapter 158 157 Come to Inner Mongolia again
After meeting Sun Dagang and his son in the city, the five of them had dinner at a hotel before taking a bus to the train station.
The car belonged to Sun Dagang, a red Boronazi. Wang Yuan asked about the price, and after knowing it was 35,000 yuan, he said:
“It’s okay, not too expensive.”
"That's right, I have a friend who specializes in buying cars. Xiaoyuan, do you want to buy a car? He can buy cars of all brands."
Sun Dagang drove the car carefully. He had been caring about the car not long after he bought it new. If it got scratched, he would be distressed for a long time.
Wang Yuan turned his head and glanced at Li Yan on the right. Li Yan was also very curious about the car, but when she saw Wang Yuan looking at her, she still smiled and shook her head.
Wang Yuan actually doesn't want to buy it now. The rumors have started to tighten recently. It would be too high-profile for him to drive back to the countryside again.
"Let's talk about it later. The motorcycle is enough for now. Dagang, have any of the brothers been arrested recently?"
"I was just about to talk about this. A few brothers were arrested in Jixi bulk cargo business a week ago. They were charged with speculation. Dozens of cotton-padded clothes were confiscated, and I paid a fine of 2,000 yuan to get them out.
As a result, a little brother was also arrested in Daqing the day before yesterday. I asked others to collect it, and I’m afraid there will be a lot of fines.”
"Well, let the brothers suspend bulk shipping recently. I heard news that we may have to intensify the crackdown on speculation. We will decide when to resume bulk shipping."
"Really? Okay, okay, I understand."
Sun Dagang is no longer a minion now, he is considered a big dealer with a high net worth, and he even has contacts with some government officials. He prides himself on being well-informed, but he has never heard of the need to intensify efforts to crack down on speculators.
Of course, he had no doubts about Wang Yuan's words.
I was just secretly shocked: "Who is the big shot behind Wang Yuan? He must be very impressive."
After arriving at the station, Wang Yuan and Sun Dagang went to the nearby post office. Sun Dagang wanted to send telegrams to the younger brothers at the lower level. He sent hundreds of telegrams at a time, while Wang Yuan sent telegrams to Tang Jun and other two other large dealers with the same status as Sun Dagang.
Send a telegram.
There are too many telegrams. If you keep waiting at the post office, you may have to wait for a long time.
Finally, I handed a stack of telegraph newspapers directly to a boy who was doing bulk goods nearby and asked him to help me send them out.
Of course, after the brothers receive the telegram, they will send back another telegram to express receipt, which can effectively prevent the brothers from not seeing the telegram.
Wang Yuan is now very wealthy, and all the money spent on sending telegrams is reimbursed to his younger brothers.
"Let's go, I want to eat the roast lamb I had last year."
"Haha, I sent a telegram earlier that my grandpa and the others have raised more sheep."
Soon after I got on the train, the train set off quickly.
Looking at the rapidly retreating forest and snowy fields outside the window, Li Yan couldn't help but be full of expectations for her destination.
It was Li Ping's first time to ride a train. Her beautiful eyes were looking around and she was full of novelty about everything. However, when the novelty wore off, she soon felt a little uncomfortable.
"This chair is too hard, it feels so uncomfortable."
Sun Dagang took out an iron box of fried dumplings from his bag and enthusiastically shared them with Wang Yuan, Li Yan and others to eat together.
After the dumplings are fried, the water content is much less, and they are not particularly cold even if they are placed outside.
"It's quite fragrant. What kind of meat is it?"
"It's meat from roe deer."
Sun Dagang was like a chatterbox, talking excitedly about the weird things he had experienced this year. For example, one day in August, he encountered a train robber when he was going to Guannai.
Robbing trains, robbing banks, etc. were very rare in later generations of China, but they are not particularly rare in this era.
"What happened next? Did he kill anyone?"
The fried meat dumplings were really delicious. After eating a few, Wang Yuan wanted to reach out and grab another one, but saw that there were not many dumplings in the box, so he retracted his hand.
"Eat, eat, you're welcome." Sun Dagang handed Wang Yuan another dumpling and said:
"I almost killed someone! At a small station, a group of men with guns rushed up and wanted money! When a man didn't want to give it, they put a gun to his head..."
The feeling of having a gun pointed at your head is definitely not pleasant, especially when the other person is a desperado.
Sun Dagang's words attracted the attention of others. In an instant, several gentlemen came over to ask. Sun Dagang was also happy to have people listen to his plain talk, so he started speaking vividly.
Li Yan on the left grabbed Wang Yuan's arm nervously.
Wang Yuan turned to look at her and said softly: "What's wrong?"
"How can something like this happen on a train? It won't happen on our train..."
"Don't worry, I'm here."
Wang Yuan comforted him a few words softly, and Li Yan felt much more at ease, and then moved to Wang Yuan's side, as if the closer he got, the safer he would be.
Li Yan was very close, so Wang Yuan smelled the light fragrance of cream, which was quite pleasant.
…
After a long journey by train, they finally arrived at the city of HLBE, and after another roundabout, at three o'clock in the afternoon that day, a carriage took them to their destination.
Nearly a year has passed since the last time we met. The old Su He has become a bit older, while the younger Su He has become stronger. Only Lakshen, who is 15 years old this year, is still so thin.
Lao Suhe's family extended a warm welcome to the arrival of Wang Yuan and his entourage. A large table was filled with all kinds of delicacies that they would normally be reluctant to eat.
The elderly Uzhina held Aunt Sun's hand, as if she had endless things to say, and kept talking. She was very old, and she didn't know how many more times she could see her daughter.
Lamb was roasted that night, laughter and laughter floated in the air, and the cold wind seemed not so cold anymore.
Everyone was roasting mutton, chatting and dancing outside, while Wang Yuan called Xiao Suhe into the yurt.
"I thought you wouldn't come until after the New Year, but I didn't expect you would come before the New Year. Just in time, I prepared some good wine..."
Xiao Suhe was very happy about Wang Yuan's arrival. Due to his personality, he didn't have many friends, but Wang Yuan was considered a friend he recognized.
"There's nothing wrong with drinking. Wait a minute, I've brought you some goodies."
Wang Yuan opened the big gray baggage he brought and took out several fine knives, as well as very good liquor, tea, sugar, etc.
Grasslands are also divided into rural and urban areas. These things are not in short supply in HLBE City, but they are also very expensive.
In the vast grassland where Xiao Suhe and the others live, the price is even higher.
"Good stuff, really good stuff."
Xiao Suhe pulled out a knife and looked at it. He was very satisfied with the sharp blade that shone with cold light. Even if he didn't use it himself, it would be a great gift to an important friend.
While Wang Yuan and Xiao Suhe were talking, Wang Yuan heard the crunching sound of his feet in the snow. When he looked back, Xiao Suhe's brother Lakshen was peeking in through the crack in the door.
"Lakshan, what are you looking at?"
"Ah, I..." Lakshen was as thin as a pony, and seemed a little shy after coming in, and then slowly said: "I have read all the books you gave me, and... there are other books.
?”
"Haha, I really brought you other books, "The Eight Parts of the Heavenly Dragon", "The Legend of Heaven and Sword of the Dragon", "The Swordsman", "The Meteor Butterfly Sword"..."
Wang Yuan brought 8 books to Lakshen, and he couldn't put them down with each one. There was light in his eyes, and he carefully touched the covers of the books, as if he was afraid that the books would break if he applied force.
"It's great, it's really great, I have another book to read!"
Little Su He didn't like reading. He was very puzzled when he saw his brother obsessed with books: "Okay, okay, read less and exercise more, and you won't be so thin."
…
After the sheep was roasted, everyone carried the sheep into the yurt, sat on the floor on the blanket and started eating.
The unique and delicious mutton is very good. Just tear a piece off with your hands and put it on the plate, and then devour it. The mutton is covered with a little bit of seasoning. The aroma of the seasoning mixes with the aroma of the mutton, which explodes directly on the taste buds.
Like a greedy little cat, Li Ping bit into a piece of mutton and found it very delicious. Then she tore off a piece and put it on Li Yan's plate.
"Sister, try this piece of mutton, it's so fragrant and delicious!"
"Did you bite it? I think you are dirty."
"Oh, don't say that."
Old Su He and Wang Yuan didn't speak the same language, but little Su He was much better. The cold wind blew outside the yurt, and occasionally there were wolf howls, which was desolate and penetrating.
But it was very warm inside the yurt, and everyone was eating delicious food while chatting about interesting things in life, local customs and customs, and felt very relaxed and comfortable.
Li Yan and Li Ping hardly spoke, but they kept listening with their little ears pricked up. They learned a lot of interesting things that they didn't know before and felt that they had gained a lot more knowledge.
After the meal, there was a dance session. Li Yan and Li Ping were very timid at first, but later they joined in with Wang Yuan's encouragement and the atmosphere. The atmosphere was extremely joyful for a while.
After playing until very late, everyone dispersed.
Wang Yuan, Li Yan and Li Ping lived in a yurt. After extinguishing the candles, the three of them quickly got into bed and fell asleep.
Li Yan sleeps in the middle, Wang Yuan sleeps on the left, and Li Ping sleeps on the right.
After a long time, just as Li Yan was about to fall asleep, she felt Wang Yuan's hand reaching towards her and quickly grabbed the latter's hand.
Li Yanqiao's face turned red, and she lowered her voice as low as possible: "Don't go crazy, and go to bed quickly."
"Yanzi, is Xiaoping asleep?"
"It seems that he fell asleep."
"That's good……"
"You are really going crazy."
…
Li Ping was actually not asleep, and she understood everything that was happening around her. Her pretty face turned as red as a big apple, but she did not dare to let the two of them know that she was awake.
…
Early the next morning, Li Ping had two big black circles under her eyes. Li Yan was more attentive and noticed something strange about her. Wang Yuan was more nervous and directly shouted to go hunting after dinner.
After eating, Xiao Su He, Sun Dagang, Wang Yuan, Li Yan and Li Ping set off, with a few dogs running in front.
Except for the "uneven forehead" among the dogs, the others are all new dogs that are less than a year old. Although they lack experience, they are lively and active and have great potential.
