Xing'an Mountains 1984: Starting from climbing mountains to support the family

Chapter 72 Wu Dascar
"You five take your time eating. Da Ni and Er Ni, remember to take care of your sisters!"

"Okay, Dad, you eat too!"

"The buns are not steamed yet. Dad will eat them later." After Chen Weidong finished explaining things to the little ones, he returned to the stove.

Liu Xueting was cooking in front of the stove while feeding Liu Ni. Liu Ni stopped crying.
Whenever Liu Xueting fed her a bite of bun skin, the little one would giggle happily.

Chen Weidong picked out the cooked buns with chopsticks, and then continued to steam them in the pot. This time he made a lot of venison buns, enough for two pots.

"what about the taste?"

Chen Weidong came to Liu Xueting, touched Liu Ni's pink little face and asked.

"It's delicious. The remaining buns have been steamed. You should try some."

Liu Xueting urged.

"Mom, eat~"

While Liu Xueting was talking to Chen Weidong, Liu Ni pointed at the buns in the bowl anxiously.

"Xue Ting, feed Xiao Liu quickly, or she will cry in anxiety. How come you are as delicious as your fourth sister?!"

Chen Weidong pinched Xiaoliu's cheeks, then picked up a venison bun and started eating. The venison was very tender and fragrant.

Moreover, white steamed buns fermented with old dough are so delicious. In fact, white flour steamed buns are good stuff these days, not to mention buns wrapped with venison.

After eating two venison buns, they saw the remaining buns in the pot still steaming. Liu Xueting was feeding Liu Ni, and Chen Weidong went to feed Hei Hu.

"Dad, my fourth sister and I have finished eating!"

After a while, Da Ni came over with one or two bowls, and Si Ni followed happily behind.

"Ok."

Chen Weidong smiled and picked up two buns and put them into two bowls.

The two little girls took the buns and ran happily to the main room.

"Weidong, you steamed so many buns. I'll give some to my parents to try later."

Liu Xueting said.

"it is good!"

In the evening, after the family of eight finished eating meat buns, Liu Xueting rushed to do the housework, while the five little girls, along with Liu Ni, played in the yard with Hei Hu.

It was the next day in a blink of an eye.

Chen Weidong didn't plan to go into the mountains today, so he didn't get up very early. When he got up and washed, the six little girls also got up, and Liu Xueting got up early in the morning.

Liu Xueting prepared breakfast, and the family of eight sat around the table and started eating with a grunt.

Breakfast was simple, with leftover venison buns, cornstarch porridge, and pickles from yesterday.

Chen Weidong ate three venison buns in one go while drinking corn stubble porridge and eating some pickled vegetables.

The five little girls also ate the buns with their mouths full of oil.

After dinner, Liu Xueting quickly cleaned up the dishes. Looking at the busy Liu Xueting,

Chen Weidong feels lucky to have married such a good wife who is worthy of his lifelong love.

"Brother Weidong, are you home?"

At about eight or nine o'clock, Chen Weidong was holding Liu Ni in the yard when he saw Li Shengli hurriedly walking into Chen Weidong's yard.

"I'm at home! Brother Shengli is here? Come in and sit down!"

"Xue Ting, Brother Shengli is here, hurry up and pour some water."

"No, no, I'm not going in either! Weidong, didn't you tell me yesterday that you wanted to buy a dog?" Li Shengli said.

"What's the matter? Did you find someone who wants to sell the dog?" Chen Weidong was delighted. He had a vague guess, but he was not sure, so he asked tentatively.

"Haha, what a coincidence! Yesterday, I mentioned your plan to buy a dog to your sister-in-law, and she told me that her uncle's brother-in-law is Wu Daba from Xiahetun!"

"Wu Daba went into the mountains a few days ago and was mauled by a wild boar. He can no longer run in the mountains.

The family hound is ready to strike.

Just this morning, I went to Wu Daba'er to ask him about it.

"If you want, I'll take you to see it."

"Okay, Brother Shengli, wait a moment, I'll go take a look."

Chen Weidong handed Liu Ni over to Dani, then took the money and followed Li Shengli to Wu Daba's house.

There are seven or eight villages around Laoheishan. They are not close, as some are more than ten kilometers away from each other. They are not far, as some are right next to each other. Xiahetun is about seven or eight miles away from Jiuqutun.

Chen Weidong had also heard of Wu Daba, who was a good hunter and his hunting dogs were naturally not bad either.

"Weidong, the big white dog in Wu Daba's house is a genuine Mengxi! This dog is famous for its long journeys and fierce mouth! It can recognize wolves, wild boars, black bears, roe deer, and big ones. A dog can fight with wild wolves."

"Brother Shengli, is Wu Daba'e seriously injured? How dare you sell such a good dog!"

Chen Weidong asked.

"Well! My leg is broken. Even if it heals, I will still walk with a limp and won't be able to run in the mountains. So I wanted to catch two piglets to raise, and then I thought of passing on the dog." Li Shengli sighed.

"Ugh!"

Chen Weidong sighed.

The two chatted and soon arrived at the yard of Wu Daba's house.

Wu Daba's real name is Wu Youcai, but he went into the mountains in his early years and was injured on his face, leaving a big scar, hence this nickname.

Li Shengli and Wu Daba are very familiar with each other. Chen Weidong also saw the big white dog that Li Shengli mentioned, and it was indeed a good dog.

The shoulder height is more than 80 centimeters, and it weighs about 100 kilograms. It has a broad chest and back, strong and slender limbs, and a not very big head.

But he had a big mouth, sharp white teeth, and stuck out his tongue. He stood there quietly, standing quietly beside Wu Daba.

You can tell at first glance that this dog is a good one, with smooth and shiny fur. It's obvious that Wu Daba takes good care of it.

As for the scars on the dog, they are the badges of honor of the hound, especially the coat color, which is pure white.

Chen Weidong had heard that pure white had a special meaning in Inner Mongolia, symbolizing good fortune, but he didn't believe it, or else Wu Daba would get bitten by a wild boar.

"Brother Weidong, what do you think? My dog ​​is only 40 yuan, which is already cheap enough. If I could go into the mountains, I would not be willing to sell it!"

Wu Daba said.

"Wu Daba, you have the nerve to say forty yuan is cheap? We have known each other for so many years, and I brought Weidong here to buy a dog from you, and you are still making a fuss at me." Li Shengli said.

Chen Weidong and Li Shengli came to Wu Daba'er, and the three of them had been talking about the price for a while.

In fact, the price is already cheap for this dog! But as a buyer, who doesn't want a lower price? Chen Weidong's money is not blown by the wind.

While discussing the price, Chen Weidong suddenly saw an earthen basket at the corner of Wu Daba's courtyard wall. There was straw underneath the basket and a torn cotton jacket covering it. There was a bulge inside, and something alive was moving.
Suddenly, two little heads popped out from the basket, looking at the outside world curiously.

"It's actually a puppy!"

Chen Weidong's face lit up with joy. What he wanted most was a puppy with good talents. One raised from a young age would not only be easy to use but also more loyal.
