Old bachelor, pretty widow, brothers and wives, broken shoes, gossip has these elements and is easy to spread.
If he didn't know the actual situation, Yan Jiecheng would be more interested in hearing the gossip about this aspect than the gossip about the parents of the east and the west and the shortcomings of the family.
"Believe it or not, it's all a pure revolutionary friendship. Silly Zhu is kind and can't bear to see the difficulties of the widow next door." Yan Jiecheng stopped adding to the anger.
"I've seen two people talking, laughing, and flirting. How can there be pure friends between a man and a woman alone, and it's not these two people." Zhang Kaixin said.
"The fact is that it is a simple unmarried young man who helps widows in need." Yan Jiecheng replied.
"I know you are from the same hospital. You are embarrassed to say it, so let's not mention it. There is also Liu Lan in their cafeteria. You know, she is the mistress of Deputy Director Li. Don't offend her. What can such a person do?
Maybe it won't work, it's too easy to think of bad things." Kaixin said in a low voice.
"You are very informed." This matter has spread, and Deputy Factory Director Li is still working steadily as a leader. Yan Jiecheng is also surprised. Deputy Factory Director Li has a really big background.
…
After the two of them had eaten and drank, they went back to their respective homes to find their respective mothers.
After get off work the next day, I saw that Xu Damao had returned to the courtyard.
"Where did you go to watch a movie today and you came back so early?"
"How can I come back early? I was stuck in the village because of the snow yesterday and didn't come back. I just came back today. Come and have a drink."
"Okay, you wait for me to clean up and I'll be there in a while," Yan Jiecheng replied.
Yan Jiecheng washed up and then went to Xu Damao's house with two bottles of wine.
"Da Mao, how is the snow in the village? Did you go somewhere to play after staying in the village for the whole day?"
"Don't tell me, I went hunting with you. Did you know there are wild boars in Mentougou Commune?" Xu Damao said.
"You ask me, how do I know? I've never been there?"
"It's such a big wild boar. Its two tusks are as long as two guns. If you poke it, it will make a hole." Xu Damao gestured that it was more than half a meter long.
"How's it going? Did you see it?"
"Not only did I see it, but I also brought back the wild boar meat. I'll give it to you to try later!"
"Okay, Xu Damao, how did you catch the wild boar?"
"I followed the villagers up the mountain. I took a woodcutter in my hand, entered the mountain, followed the wild boar's footprints, and chased after it."
"After chasing for three days and three nights, I finally found that I had caught up with the wild boar. This wild boar weighed over a thousand pounds. At that time, I shouted, "Hey, you evil beast, where can I escape?" I rushed over with my knife.
The wild boar also accelerated and rushed towards me, and at that time I..."
Lou Xiao'e patted Xu Damao and said, "Okay, stop bragging. I haven't even drank yet. Do you think you are a storyteller? Didn't you just see a villager shoot and kill a wild boar? You only went there for one day, why are there three
It’s been three days and three nights?”
Yan Jiecheng also heard that Xu Damao was bragging, but idleness was idleness. The second uncle had children to play with while he was idle, so Yan Jiecheng had nothing to do but listen to the boasting.
Lou Xiao'e then said: "Da Mao, please make wild boar meat. I can't do this well."
Yan Jiecheng heard it was interesting and followed Xu Damao to the kitchen to help.
"Da Mao, how big is this wild boar you saw?"
"More than two hundred kilograms. The wild boar is so big and the pig's head is so long. The whole village has been given the pork. It's enough to feed a whole village."
"Have you seen anyone alive? Did you go into the mountains yesterday?"
When Xu Damao started to brag, he didn't know which sentence was true and which sentence was false.
Xu Damao said: "I went into the mountains. Who are we, projectionists? I want to go hunting with them, why don't you take me with them? Their militia captain took me there."
"Then what did you do?"
"Then, I practiced shooting, then went hunting in the mountains, and we saw wild boars."
"How many did you see?"
"There were six of us in the family. The captain shot the biggest wild boar and the others ran away. They didn't give me a gun at that time. Give me one. Let me tell you, none of the wild boars can escape."
"Is there anything else in the mountain?"
"Too many, pheasants, rabbits, and wild sheep have all been hunted, but too many have been eaten in the past few years, so they are not so easy to find."
While chatting, the wild boar meat was ready. The three of them started eating and chatting.
The taste of wild boar meat is quite fragrant, but it will be a bit fishy if not cooked well. It tests your cooking skills. Xu Damao has been eating it for many years, and he is very good at it. Even if it is not cooked well, some of them taste good in this era, but they are not that good.
Picky.
"Have you caught any other prey?"
"No, small animals are all trapped in traps. Wild boars, wild sheep, and deer are hunted with guns. I heard they said there were tigers in the past, but no one has seen them now."
Yan Jiecheng thought to himself that Xu Damao's life in the countryside was quite colorful. He had a little widow to play with, and he was taken into the mountains to hunt. Every time he went down, he would eat well, drink well, and carry good things. Apart from the hard work on the way back and forth to the countryside, it was indeed
A good job.
"Xie Cheng, if you want to go hunting, follow me to the countryside to show a movie, and I will take you there."
"It's better for me to go hunting now. I don't even know how to play with a gun. If I go hunting, it will hit me."
How could Yan Jiecheng, who was in charge of stability, do such a dangerous thing? The situation was so complicated, and there were all kinds of wild animals in the mountains.
"Da Mao, tiger bones and skins are both good things. Have you got some?"
"Why do I need those things? They are so expensive and I haven't found anyone who has them."
"You don't understand this. Tiger bone wine is of great benefit to men. It dispels wind and dampness and strengthens muscles and bones." Lou Xiao'e couldn't say it directly in Yan Jiecheng.
"When did you encounter it? Help me pay attention."
Yan Jiecheng thought about what if there was an unexpected harvest. There are not many protected animals now, and gun control is not strict yet. It is possible to hit anything.
"Okay, I'll go and ask you about it."
"Let's go and find out if you are going to get married too."
"It's almost there. Next spring, the specific time has not yet been determined."
"Then you have to drink one. Good things will happen soon."
"You said you were going to get married. Shouldn't Shazhu be even more anxious? He didn't cherish the opportunity given to him to marry a widow last time!" Xu Damao couldn't do without Shazhu in just three words.
"I was quite happy at first, but later I let the First Master and Qin Huairu get in trouble." Yan Jiecheng also said with regret.
When we chatted about Silly Zhu, Xu Damao belittled him every day, and the chat was endless.
When Xu Damao stopped drinking, he was helped to the bed. I don’t know how Xu Damao got home after drinking too much outside.
After going back, Yan Jiecheng was lying on the bed thinking about what is worth collecting in this era. There is no need to collect antiques that have no practical value. It doesn't matter if you encounter them or not. Some non-renewable resources, such as precious medicinal materials, etc.
If you have the ability, you can deliberately collect more.
