Chapter 283 A shotgun exchange for a cannon
Early the next morning, Su Ying finally had a day off. Zhang An did not wake her up and asked her to sleep a little longer.
After all, I have been busy for a semester, and I was very tired last night. How can I recover without taking more rest?
"Dad, Mom, and uncle said they helped us apply for some mountain contracting subsidies. I will go with him to register the materials normally later."
When I came back last night, Wang Fang and Zhang Jianguo had already gone back to his room to rest, so Zhang An did not tell them about this.
When the family was having breakfast, Zhang An spoke.
"Xiao An, why do people give us money for free? Maybe they will take back this orchard in the future. Otherwise, there will be no benefit, so why would they give us money so stupidly?"
Although Wang Fang has lived a hard life for half her life, she has never taken advantage of others.
After all, she has taught Zhang An since she was a child the idea of taking small gains and suffering big losses.
"Mom, no, this money is subsidized by the state, we can take it with confidence, nothing will happen."
Although many people are not familiar with agricultural subsidies now, who is Zhang An? He is an old monster with many things in mind.
Later generations will subsidize one way or another. The difficulty with this money is that when applying, people will get stuck everywhere.
But as long as the application is obtained, there will be no problem.
As soon as Wang Fang heard what Zhang An said, she felt relieved and felt very good.
After all, the money was like free money, how could she be unhappy.
After packing his ID card and contract contract, Zhang An had breakfast and was ready to go to his uncle's house.
"Mom, I'm out."
Zhang An started the car, said hello to his old mother, and drove towards Zhang Ping's house.
When Zhang An arrived, his two uncles, Zhang Laosan, who grew kiwi fruits together, and Huang Erye, who grew sugar plums, were all at Zhang Ping's house.
“Hey, there are so many people, it’s quite lively.”
Zhang Jianwen told Zhang An everything last night, so it was not surprising to see Zhang An with them.
Most of the people here were elders, and Zhang An greeted them one by one.
“We have been here long ago, and we are just waiting for you to come over.”
Then Zhang Jianwen asked everyone to bring their personal identification materials, as there will be some shortages before the time comes.
After the inspection, everyone got in the car and prepared to leave.
Although Zhang An's car is a large pickup truck, it can fit six people in even if you squeeze in.
After all, the road is not far, and the road conditions on this section are not bad, so there can be no problems.
But it happened that Zhang Ping was also going to the forestry department in the town, so young Zhang Laosan consciously rode a motorcycle with Zhang Ping.
Because among this group of people, Zhang Laosan is the youngest and still junior.
He can't sit in the car and let some old man ride on a motorcycle to blow the cold wind.
If he really dared to do this, he might become famous in the village tomorrow.
It was almost nine o'clock when we arrived in town, and the staff of the government affairs department had already gone to work.
I don’t know if it’s because the old man is too proud of himself or something else, but Zhang An always feels that every process is handled very quickly, and it only takes a few minutes to complete.
You have to know that even in future generations, if he comes to go through any formalities, just going through the process, etc., it will take you a long time, how can it be as smooth as it is now.
The matter was completed in the morning, but the money is not yet available.
Because the materials still need to be reviewed, another reason is that their financial system has been closed.
So even after the review is completed, the money will not be released until the start of construction after the year.
After all, government departments have strict financial system management, otherwise things can easily go wrong.
No matter Zhang An or the others didn't care at all, Zhang An didn't take the money seriously.
Because he feels that even if there is a subsidy, the money is probably not much, so he has no expectations, and he has nothing to spend money on now.
Uncle Zhang and the others are looking forward to this money. It is said that they can receive several hundred yuan, which is a lot.
Now that the official seal has been changed, they only need to wait for some time. What do they have to worry about.
After all, farmers don’t have much of anything but plenty of time.
After coming out of the town building, everyone got in the car and went back to the village.
Because today is not a day to rush to the market, and the temperature is low.
The street was deserted, with few people walking around.
Back home, Zhang An found two cars parked at the door. He knew at a glance that it was Chen Ze and Ding Yi, two enemies, who were coming.
"Xiao An, let us down here, so that you don't have to come back later."
When we reached the bridge, the old uncle said.
The roads in the village are not wide and it is inconvenient to reverse the car inside.
After getting off the car here, they would reach home in a few steps, and Zhang An could just drive the car into the yard.
It wasn’t that far anyway, and Zhang An wasn’t polite to everyone.
After getting off the bus, Zhang An stayed with everyone for a while, but at noon, everyone had to go home for dinner and everyone went back to their homes.
"Why are you two here so early?"
As soon as he entered the room, Zhang An found Chen Ze and Ding Yi sitting by the stove like two great gods.
Cracking melon seeds and peanuts while drinking tea, I feel so comfortable.
With the attitude of a living landlord, he simply regards this place as his own home.
“There’s nothing to do at home anyway. If you come earlier, you can have an extra meal.”
This made so much sense that Zhang An was speechless.
At noon, with the sound of "ding bells", Zhang An knew that his father had returned from herding sheep.
But within two minutes, a dog barking came from the yard.
As soon as Zhang An heard these sounds, he knew they were his own big dogs barking.
But there was a slightly weaker voice inside that Zhang An felt was a bit unfamiliar, and the scream was vaguely mixed with fear and fear.
"Old Chen, why don't you go and take a look? It's too late. Your silly dog will probably be scared to death by Xiaohu and the others."
Listen to what Ding Yi said in a mean tone. Chen Ze didn't care at all, and quickly got up and walked out.
When Chen Ze came in the morning, he did not tie the Laizhou red he brought with him in the yard, but tied it in Zhang An's pen house.
So when Zhang An came back just now, he didn't find that he had an extra dog.
Now Zhang An finally knew why Xiaohu and the others were making trouble in the yard.
As for Zhang An's dogs, they followed Zhang Jianguo out to herd sheep in the morning because they had been kept at home for too long.
Who has seven or eight big dogs to herd ten sheep? This is simply too luxurious.
After going to the mountain, Zhang Jianguo basically didn't need to worry about it. The family dog let the sheep go.
When they came back, they found an unfamiliar dog on their territory.
So now they are defending their territory.
The bustling and noisy sound in the circle immediately became quiet after Zhang An came out.
Zhang An was dumbfounded when he saw this Laizhou red.
"Old Chen, is this Laizhou Red? Don't tease me." This dog is probably not one of those balloon dogs.
Laizhou Red, a high-quality breed, has some of the blood of Qilu Fine Dog, so it looks very healthy and beautiful.
But the dog in front of me is as fat as a ball, but there is still some black back in his appearance.
He was so fat that he couldn't even move. No wonder they were almost scared to pee when they saw the little tiger.
"Ahem, can I still lie to you? This is indeed Laizhou Red, but maybe I feed it a little better and gain a little weight."
Zhang An took another look and saw that he had indeed gained a hundred million points.
This one is as fat as a bear, but it is still a dog.
"Yes, this dog is almost useless. If you take it out, it will probably start panting even after walking a few steps."
Zhang An shook his head. The dog entered the forest and probably started to pant. Can only be used as food by other predators.
A good hunting dog is quite powerful after being raised like this.
The more Zhang An thought about it, the more amazing it became. He couldn't help but stare at Chen Ze a few more times.
This man is really awesome. He can raise a thin dog like this. This is the first time Zhang An has seen him and has never heard of him.
Now Zhang An really regrets giving him the goshawk. Could it be that he has also been raised by this person? It's terrible.
"It's not my fault. The main reason is that this dog is lazy. He only eats and sleeps, and he eats a lot, so it becomes like this."
Chen Ze felt a little wronged. It’s not that the dog wasn’t walked, it’s just that the lazy dog didn’t want to move.
"So this time I brought it out just to let it suffer a severe beating from society and see if I could lose weight and save it."
It can be seen that although Zhang An said that this dog is likely to be useless, But Chen Ze didn't want to give it up.
It is estimated that there is some story in it, such as someone's unresolved love or something.
What are you thinking about? Zhang An quickly shook his head and threw away these messy thoughts.
During lunch, Wang Fang fed the family dog and also gave the little fat man a bowl. But this guy was as timid as a mouse. He was stared at by Xiaohu and the others in turn, and he didn't even dare to eat the food in the dog bowl.
And when Wang Fang was feeding it, she started laughing as she watched it. After all, the dog’s face was so happy.
This guy looks fatter than Akita. Zhang An doesn’t have a mobile phone right now, otherwise he would take dozens of photos of it every minute and make an emoticon package, which would definitely become popular.
After the meal, Zhang An found that his several big dogs were quite annoying, so he coaxed them away so that the little fat man could eat in peace.
“Come to Zhang An and see if there is anything missing from what we have prepared.”
Ding Yi opened the trunk, which was full of stuff.
With so many things, I’m afraid I don’t need to prepare for a trip.
Opening it, Ding Yi took out four tents.
“These two are prepared for you and Zhang Ping.”
Originally, when they prepared them, it was him and Chen Ze one by one.
But considering that Zhang An had never used a tent when he went into the mountains, he probably didn’t have one at home.
So I prepared two more, and the last one was for Zhang Ping. After all, we had to go into the mountains together.
Zhang An was not polite. This tent was not bad. He had wanted to buy it before, but the ones sold in the city at that time were quite shabby.
Most people in the mountains do not prepare a tent when they go into the mountains, but use a tarpaulin to cover the world.
This is not because everyone does not need it, but good tents are too expensive.
After all, in the mountains, it's okay when it doesn't rain, but after it rains, it's better to have a tent.
Then Ding Yi took out another suitcase. After opening it, Zhang An's eyes widened when he looked at the contents inside.
"No, I asked you to bring whatever weapons you want. Why did you bring this thing here?"
Ding took out the thing inside, and there was no doubt that it was two dark composite weapons. Steel crossbow.
"Didn't you ask me to take it with me casually? I really took it with me casually. This one is for you."
Ding Yi chuckled, picked up one of the handfuls and handed it to Zhang install.
“Now guns are banned in the country, but you can apply for a certificate and report it when the time comes.”
“After all, you have been walking in the mountains all year round, and you have nothing to defend yourself against the approaching approach. It’s safe.”
Zhang An looked at the air-conditioned composite crossbow in his hand and thought that the lethality of this thing is much greater than that of a gun.
Looking at it like this, the price is definitely not cheap, and this thing doesn’t look like something that is available in China. It is probably imported.
"Is this thing sold in China? Not to mention that we can't find a place to sell it in our small county town or provincial capital."
"It is available in China, but it is rarely sold on the market. This thing is for me I got it from a friend, he specializes in this kind of stuff."
Ding Yi sorted out the things, and then handed a box of crossbow arrows to Zhang An, which contained fifteen special stainless steel crossbow arrows.
With this thing in hand, Zhang An felt that he had exchanged a shotgun for a cannon.
In the past, carrying a steel fork around the world was all about melee combat.
Now that I have this thing, I can directly change my job to a long-range shooter.
"You have brought everything, what about Old Chen, what have you prepared?"
Zhang An asked after not seeing Chen Ze take action for a long time.
“Just hold it first, I’ll do whatever you want.”
Originally, Zhang An was fine, but when he heard these words, he was stunned.
It’s not fun to say this. Don’t come up with something shocking later.
This is just a walk around the side of the mountain, don’t take it too seriously.
“I thought this thing was too heavy, so I only prepared an alloy bow.”
Chen Ze took a small box from his car, opened it, and hurriedly It is a foldable alloy bow.
This thing is not very lethal, but it is more lightweight.
But it seems that Zhang An knows that it is definitely not a bargain.
It seems that these two rich guys have never been to the mountains.
Just go for a walk and prepare yourself as if you are going to war.
Let’s take them around the mountains more this time to satisfy their curiosity.
After that, Zhang An checked what they brought, including pans and marching kettles.
"You can bring the kettle with you, but you don't need to bring anything else. You carry so many things, and you don't want to walk anymore."
It's tiring to carry a bunch of things on flat ground, let alone mountain roads.
"Anzi, are you going to the mountains tomorrow?"
In the afternoon, after packing your things, Mr. Huang came to the door.
“Yes, Mr. Huang, while it’s not snowing, Brother Ping and I will take them to the forest farm for a walk.”
Zhang An has nothing to hide from Mr. Huang. , said it directly.
"Then call me tomorrow and I will go with you."
"Second Master, we are not going into the old forest, so you should go with us to endure the cold in this cold weather. "
It was such a cold day and there was no hunting. Zhang An thought about persuading Mr. Huang to stay at home.
Although he is an experienced person, it will not be comfortable to go into the mountains and be exposed to the cold, and Mrs. Huang will have to quarrel with him again.
"Just wear thicker clothes. You should take Xiaohu with you. I want to let him help drag my Erqing."
It turns out that Huang Erye had the idea of dragging the dog, and Erqing is The one Zhang An gave him last time was the cub of Erhu.
"What, Mr. Er, that dog is not even half a year old, and you always want to take it into the mountains."
That puppy is not even half a year old, but he often comes to Zhang An's house. So Zhang An fed them together.
Maybe he drinks space spring water frequently, so his body grows very fast, and now he is almost as big as a native dog in the village.
"Why is it so small? Didn't its father follow you into the old forest when he was half a year old? He is no longer young."
"Besides, there is a tiger cub belt Wait, it’s in the forest farm again, what can happen?”
“What does the great man say? You have to start from a young age to become a good person.”
Huang Erye spoke in such a way that even Zhang An was confused.
But it can also be seen that he values Erqing very much and plans to train him well.
In this case, let's go together. There's no danger anyway, so let Xiaohu hold off for a while.
"Okay, let's go together tomorrow, but have you agreed to my second grandma's place? Don't come back without food for three days."
"Don't worry. , your second grandma, I told her and she agreed."
Huang Erye felt like a mirror. If he went into the mountains by himself, the old lady at home would probably have a fight with him.
But if he wants to be with Zhang An and look a little younger, then Second Mistress Huang will never say anything.
Firstly, Zhang An saved Huang Ming before, and secondly, Zhang An can also be regarded as Mr. Huang’s apprentice.
In the past two years, Zhang An has been very filial to the two elders. Li Zilin at home has made a lot of money because of Zhang An.
So now she cares about Zhang An as closely as her grandson.
"Anyway, you can just solve it yourself. Don't say that we, the little ones, won't help you."
This made Huang Erye embarrassed, because every time they When the two elders were quarreling, several children were there.
But because they are all grandchildren, it is difficult for anyone to intervene and persuade, so I just watch Mr. Huang being scolded. The scene is quite funny.
"By the way, Second Master, come over for a drink tonight."
After Huang Second Master nodded, he went out and went back. He was going to leave early tomorrow morning, and now he had to go back and pack his things.
As for Wang Fang, she felt relieved after knowing that Mr. Huang was going with him.
After all, there is an old man present who can still look at the young ones like them.
I know that Mr. Huang is an old hunter in the village and has been walking in the mountains for decades.
So during dinner in the evening, Chen Ze and Ding Yi grabbed the old man and asked him questions.
It's like a student who is about to take the final exam and catches the teacher to focus on the key points.
Huang Erye is no stranger to both of them, especially Ding Yi. When he collected their plums this year, he didn’t even pay back the price.
Now that he has such an opportunity to get acquainted with others, he will naturally answer all questions.
So everyone enjoyed their meal very happily and unconsciously wanted to drink a few more drinks.
“Yes, yes, you can drink more of this wine if you want, but I won’t wake you up tomorrow morning.”
If you keep drinking like this, you will have to say less when you wake up tomorrow. It's noon, and the day lilies will be cold by then.
"Xiao An is right. We have to leave tomorrow morning, so we can't drink more wine. When we come back, go to the old man's place and I'll treat everyone to a drink."
On weekdays. If you want to invite someone to dinner, you don't have a name. Today, the opportunity will come.
After all, Ding Yi will have to rely on Ding Yi for the plum next year. If we build a good relationship this year, we don’t have to worry about next year.
