Chapter 282 Preparation before entering the mountain

Chapter 282 Preparation before entering the mountain

Zhang An came to his senses when he heard his old mother's voice and found that the phone had been ringing.

"Hey, Old Chen, what's the matter with?"

Looking at the number, it was Chen Ze calling.

"Zhang An, when is your family going to kill the pig? We are going to come over and play."

Before the Chinese New Year last year, Chen Ze came over when Zhang An's family was killing the pig.

In rural areas, there are many people who kill pigs and eat pig rice, which is like fighting a tie.

So it becomes very lively when there are more people. As a city dweller, Chen Ze has never seen such a scene, so he thinks it is quite fun.

Not only is it interesting to watch people kill pigs, but the pig-killing rice shouldn’t taste too fragrant.

Although some restaurants in the city also have pig killing rice on the menu.

But compared with this serious pig-killing rice, Chen Ze felt that not only was the taste unauthentic, but it also had no atmosphere at all.

So after this guy went back, he showed off in front of Ding Yi for a long time.

In the end, Ding Yi was so angry that he even went to Zhang An's house to play without calling him.

So this year Ding Yi made up his mind to come and join in the fun when Zhang An’s family was killing pigs.

Looking at the twelfth lunar month, Ding Yi called first to ask what time it was.

“In our village, we always start killing New Year pigs on the tenth day of the twelfth lunar month. When my uncle’s family kills them, our family will kill them on the eleventh day.”

Zhang An told the village’s arrangements Chen Ze said that he would catch him and ask him every year from now on.

"Yeah, I know, Su Ying should be on holiday, I think almost all the schools in the city are on holiday."

"It's almost, today is the last day of the final exam, and then there will be only All that's left is to grade the test papers."

"Hey, you have nothing to do anyway. Su Ying is on vacation, and the time for killing pigs has not come yet. How about we go to the provincial capital for a few days."

When Ding heard that Su Ying was about to take a vacation, he suggested.

"Fat Lu has said many times that we should go there and have fun, or maybe now."

Zhang An was quite excited to go to the provincial capital for a few days.

Although he still prefers to stay in the mountains than in the city.

But it’s good to go to the city occasionally, especially the provincial capital, where you can buy some things that are not available in the county.

But after thinking about it, Zhang An refused.

"Let's do it next time. I may have to go into the mountains in the next two days and I don't have much time."

"You want to go into the mountains? Go hunting?"

As soon as Ding heard Zhang An talk about going into the mountains, he asked.

The last time Zhang An went into the mountains to help him find ginseng, he was particularly envious of mountain people like Zhang An.

Especially when I heard that people like Zhang An who are familiar with the mountains can not only hunt in the mountains, but also find things like treasure hunting.

“It’s such a winter, so why are you hunting? I just went into the mountains to try my luck before it snows, to see if I can find some better medicinal materials.”

“By the way. Take some big dogs at home and let them go out to let loose."

Ding Yiyi heard, this is just for fun.

"Hey Zhang An, do you think I can go with you? I've never been to the mountains before."

Ding Yi, who grew up in the city , whether from TV or books, I have some curiosity about mountains.

Especially after getting to know Zhang An, every time he came to the mountains to collect mountain goods, he would hear some things about the mountains from the villagers.

If I have the opportunity this time, I definitely want to follow Zhang An into the mountains.

"What, you want to follow me into the mountains? Isn't my sister-in-law pregnant? Can you walk away without worries?"

If this is Chen Ze, Zhang An won't be surprised at all.

Ding Yi and his wife are pregnant. Is it okay if they don’t stay at home and take good care of her?

Especially for a wealthy family like Ding Yi and others, having a baby is a big deal.

"Stop talking, I think it's better for me to walk away, so as not to make her angry every day."

When Ding Yi spoke, his tone was full of resentment, as if it was like this I suffered a lot of grievances for a while, but I was still willing to do so.

"Li Li's temper has been getting worse day by day since she was pregnant with Yu for two months. She always comments on everything I do. I think if we go out to play for a few days, she might be in a better mood. "

"And since she was pregnant, my mother was worried that I couldn't take care of her, so she came from the provincial capital. There is no shortage of people to take care of her at home."

Zhang An heard this. I understand. Pregnant women are particularly sensitive and their moods change greatly. Zhang An understands this.

"Okay, anyway, we won't go into the mountains, we will just wander around the outside. You can come if you want."

Zhang An thought for a while, although Ding Pair is not familiar with the mountains, but It won't make any difference if you take him with you.

"Okay, you take a look at what you need to prepare and when to leave. I will go to your house in advance."

Ding Yi said very excitedly when he heard Zhang An agreed.

Then Zhang An told Ding Yi some things that should be prepared in the mountains.

Of course, in order to make his stay more comfortable, Zhang An suggested that it would be better for him to bring a tent.

Ding Yi was like a student at this moment. When Zhang An said the same thing, he took note of it carefully.

Finally, he discovered that none of the things Zhang An asked him to prepare were edible.

"Hey Zhang An, you have prepared these things, but what about the food? Do you need to prepare it again?"

"What food do you need to prepare? Follow me into the mountains and you will still be hungry. ? Don't worry, there is no shortage of food in the mountains, only those who are incompetent will be hungry."

Ding Yiyi felt his heart heat up after hearing what Zhang An said.

I was very much looking forward to this trip into the mountains with Zhang An.

"Okay, I'll prepare things later. I'll go to your house first tomorrow."

At noon, Zhang Jianguo, who went out to herd sheep, drove the sheep back for dinner.

As a result, Zhang An saw his father holding two lambs, one on the left and one on the right.

"Hey, old man, where did you pick up the little lamb?"

Before Zhang An spoke, Wang Fang spoke happily.

At home, two little lambs mean that there will be two more sheep in the family in the future. How could Wang Fang be unhappy.

"Hey, I picked it up on the slope in front, you're not too lucky."

Zhang Jianguo also made a rare joke with Wang Fang.

“Tch, you really think I don’t know, this is the calf of our ewe.”

Zhang An’s family doesn’t have many sheep, and the ewe with the calf, Wang Fang, and Zhang An felt even more innocent.

When I went out in the morning, there was a ewe with a big belly.

When I came back now, my stomach was deflated.

“Nothing happened to the sheep when they gave birth.”

“No, each one came out in a few minutes. I also burned a fire on the mountain. They were roasted, otherwise they would have come back a long time ago.”

When he arrived at home, Zhang Jianguo put down the lamb in his hand.

Originally, he let the two lambs go on their own, but there was a muddy road at the intersection, so he just carried them back.

At this moment, the two little lambs came down to the ground and jumped towards their mother.

It bleated and then started sucking milk.

After lunch, Su Ying went back to her room to take a lunch break.

"Daughter-in-law, let me tell you something. Brother Ping and I will go into the mountains the day after tomorrow, and, by the way, Ding Yi."

"In such a cold day, you Why go into the mountains? Why don’t you just stay at home?”

"It's going to snow soon. I thought I'd go to the mountains to look for some medicinal materials beforehand, and take our dogs out for a run to save them from suffocating."

"I don't think it's them. I'm holding it back. You must be holding it back." Su Ying glanced at her man.

I would just go out for a walk first, and I would leave it to the dog. "I can't hold it back any longer. It's not you."

Zhang An smiled and hugged Su Ying over.

“Brother Ping told me a few days ago that there are a lot more wild goats in the mountains this year. He often sees them when he goes to patrol the forest.”

“It’s almost the Chinese New Year. I'm thinking about taking our dogs to have a look. If I'm lucky and catch one or two, I can stew them for our parents and a few old people."

Looking at Zhang An's look, Su said. Ying knew that this person must be going.

After all, he had made an appointment with when and who he would go with, so how could he still tie him up?

“What’s going on with Ding Yi? Why does he want to go too?”

"It's not like he heard that we were going to the mountains. He was very curious and said he wanted to follow us to have a look."

"Is it okay to take him with me? After all, let alone going into the mountains, his physique is probably in the mountains. You have to take a break after walking for a while.”

“It’s no problem. We’ll just wander around the forest farm. If we don’t go into the mountain, there will be no impact.”

“Then you should pay attention to the forest farm anyway. It’s also in the mountains.”

“Don’t worry, it’s just this circle. When I put on my crotchless pants, I was spinning around in them. Besides, there are a few big dogs in our family. Even if we meet them in the mountains. You can even touch a bear.”

Su Ying felt relaxed when Zhang An talked about the big dog at home.

After all, those big dogs at home that look like lions are not just superficial.

In the evening, Chen Ze called.

"Zhang An, I heard that you are going to the mountains to play, and Ding Yi is going too?"

"I want to go shopping. Why, did he tell you?"

"Let's leave the day after tomorrow, right? Then I'll go too."

From Chen Ze's tone, I guess Ding Yi is showing off in front of him again.

"No, why do you rich guys like to go into the mountains?"

Ding Yi is like this, Chen Ze is like this, it's because he is full and has nothing to do.

"Screw you, I'm not like Old Ding. I plan to take my family dog ​​with me, otherwise it would be a shame to just be a mascot."

Chen Ze also has a dog at home, and it's not just an ordinary dog.

It is a Laizhou Red dog, which is a rare good dog. I heard that it was given as a gift by someone before.

Although this dog is a good dog, it has been kept in captivity by Chen Ze at home.

I have never had the opportunity to go into the mountains and see the world like a normal hunting dog.

No, Chen Ze came to Zhang An's house many times. Seeing the postures of the little tigers, he had long wanted to take them out for exercise, but he never had the chance.

As a result, today, Ding Yi called him specifically to show off that he was going to the mountains with Zhang An.

So now that Chen Ze knew about it, he called Zhang An just to count him in.

"Okay, you prepare things like Lao Ding and come here. We'll set off the day after tomorrow."

Knowing that he couldn't refuse, Zhang An agreed directly.

It’s okay to bring Ding Yi with you, so it doesn’t matter if you bring Chen Ze with you.

Originally Zhang An wanted to go deeper, but the leader gave up the idea.

This time I just walked around the outside, just like taking my friends to the mountains for camping and exercise.

“I originally thought about taking Axiang with me, but then I thought it would be useless to take him in the mountains, so I decided not to bring him.”

“Axiang?”

"Axiang is the goshawk you gave me. It has grown so big now. I just taught it to fly some time ago."

Chen Ze immediately became excited when he talked about the goshawk. He told Zhang An everything about how to raise it, how to train it, and finally how to teach it to fly.

In the end, Zhang An couldn't stand his chattering anymore, so he hung up the phone after saying a few words to him.

Zhang An couldn't figure out why he hadn't seen it before, how could this young master of the Chen family still have potential as a Tang monk.

After dinner, Zhang An went to find Zhang Ping.

It doesn’t matter if it’s just the two of them entering the mountain, after all, they are two experienced people.

This time, since Chen Ze and Ding Yi were to be brought along, Zhang An thought that he should tell Zhang Ping.

Because Zhang An went to the mountains for work, while Chen Ze and the others went to the mountains for fun.

So we need to notify him in advance so as not to disrupt Zhang Ping's own arrangements.

"No problem, just take them and we won't go too far."

When Zhang Ping heard that Zhang An wanted to bring two friends from the city, he had no idea.

He knew Chen Ze and Ding Yi, and they had drank together several times since Zhang An was there.

"Then come to my place for dinner tomorrow. They will come over tomorrow and have some drinks then."

Zhang Ping nodded naturally to Zhang An's invitation.

After all, I am used to eating at Zhang An’s house, so I will definitely not refuse this.

"Xiao An, because the mountain you contracted, the town will have a subsidy this year. You bring the contract tomorrow morning, and we will go to the town to get the money."

Get ready to go home. At that time, Zhang An was stopped by Zhang Jianwen.

Oh, there are subsidies.

Zhang An didn’t expect such a good thing.

"Uncle, why haven't I heard of such a good thing before?"

"It has been available for two years. Other villages have applied for it, but it is not easy to apply. This year It’s easier.”

Speaking of this, Zhang Jianwen was particularly happy.

For a long time, other villages have been contracted by big bosses here and there. When they went to the town for a meeting, the village chiefs were very arrogant.

But this year, Zhang An set a precedent for the village by covering up the rotten area on the Huangtu slope in the village where birds could not lay eggs.

Originally, Zhang Jianwen thought that Zhang An would be in vain if he reserved that place.

Unexpectedly, it has only been a year, and the loess slope, which was originally yellow in autumn, has now turned into a vibrant orchard.

Zhang An also made a lot of money from the orchard this year. This was because of a heavy hailstorm, otherwise he could have made more money.

But Zhang Jianwen was not jealous, but was happy for Zhang An in his heart.

When we held the year-end meeting a few days ago, everyone talked about the things that had been brought to the table in their own villages.

Now Zhang Jianwen is not polite. In the past years, he has always acted like a transparent person.

But not this year, you all give way, I have something to say here.

Whether it’s the lotus pond built in the village or the program held last year to celebrate the New Year, they are very eye-catching in the neighborhood.

In addition, Zhang An led the first group of people in the village to engage in planting, and as a result, they also made a lot of money.

The other was the wasteland contracted by Zhang An. Later, even several people in the town knew about the cherry selling.

These are all projects that can increase the reputation of the village. Zhang Jianwen proudly showed off to everyone at the meeting.

When it comes to land transfer project subsidies and agricultural support projects, Zhang Jianwen naturally helped Zhang An apply for them.

In the end, the big leader heard it and approved it directly.

In fact, he also wanted to apply for several other companies, but because there was no contracting involved, he could not apply for large subsidies.

But because it is also within the scope of agricultural support, I have applied for some from those companies, no matter how much, it is still a good thing.

"Okay, I'll come find my uncle tomorrow morning."

After the uncle finished explaining, Zhang An said hello to his aunt and went home.
