Reborn in 1985, starting from the mountains of Northwest China

"Baogen, what exactly are you planning?"

"Zhengang, what do you mean by this! Why can't you do something good for the village?" Zhao Baogen pretended to be angry, his voice unconsciously rising a few decibels.

"Am I, Zhao Baogen, some kind of heinous villain who only knows how to prey on the people?!"

Zhao Zhengang thought to himself, "You're quite self-aware, but you can't hit someone who's smiling at you. What you just said was indeed a bit too much."

"Baogen, you know that's not what I meant. But several people in the village have already died because of this bear. If you put up a bounty, what if the young people in the village act impulsively and something else happens?"

Although Zhao Zhengang couldn't figure out what the other party was up to, he had seen the scene last time and was unwilling to get involved in hunting in the mountains.

"Zhengang, a leader must be responsible. How did I teach you this when I was the squad leader?"

Zhao Baogen used to be the head of the brigade, and Chen Zhengang did work under him at that time. Now that he is bringing up the old matter, he is obviously trying to use his seniority to pressure him.

"You were truly responsible back then, bringing all the good stuff from the brigade home every day. Otherwise, how could you have had five sons!"

Zhao Baogen, stung by this, yelled, "You coward! If you're not willing to take the lead, I'll go door-to-door to tell everyone! Let's see if anyone's willing to do it!"

"Don't go, Lao Zhao, come back!" Chen Zhengang hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed the other man. He had no choice but to compromise and said, "I'll gather the hunters in the village together for a meeting and spread the word to a small group first."

"Wait until the bear is actually slaughtered, then you can properly publicize your good deed, okay?"

After achieving his goal, Zhao Baogen discussed the details with Chen Zhengang before reluctantly leaving.

He was almost moved by his own words, which is why he chatted with the village chief for quite a while.

……

When Chen Feng saw that it was mealtime, he pulled Lao Huang to eat at his house, jokingly saying, "My family just eats simple meals, nothing like your lavish feasts!"

"Go to hell with you," Old Huang punched Chen Feng, then stayed at his house for dinner.

After their conversation, their bond deepened. Old Huang now treats Chen Feng like a younger brother, sharing all his hard-earned experience, and Chen Feng's stories about the outside world have broadened his horizons considerably.

He was especially envious when he heard that some bosses in the south were driving Crown cars. He said, "Damn it, I wish I could have a car someday."

Even when I go to the underworld to meet my ancestors, I can say that I've made something of myself!

"Just wait, once we brothers make some money, we'll each have a car!"

Chen Feng looked forward to the future, even though decades later, cars would be affordable for most people.

But right now it's still a pure luxury item; hundreds of thousands is an astronomical figure in this day and age!

"You're much better at bragging than the Zhao brothers!" Old Huang laughed and scolded. This kind of thing was something the two of them would only talk about in private. If it got out, the villagers would definitely laugh their heads off.

Chen Feng didn't explain further. One day, the facts would shatter everyone's doubts. What he needed to do now was to keep striving!

The village chief and his elder brother suddenly showed up at the door, which Chen Feng found rather novel. When did his family become so popular? People had been coming in droves lately.

Seeing her older brother's anxious expression, she asked with concern, "Brother, what happened at home?"

Chen Jun, disregarding the presence of outsiders, cried out anxiously, "Dad's in trouble!"

Chen Feng's heart skipped a beat, and his voice trembled slightly: "What happened to Dad? Brother, explain yourself!"

My father's health wasn't good to begin with, and I felt I shouldn't have carried him so lightly before. I was originally planning to go to town in a while to buy some good food to nourish my father.

"He tripped and fell while tidying the yard this morning, aggravating an old injury. Now his calf is swollen to almost the size of his thigh!"

Chen Feng thought to himself, "This is bad; the injury must be quite serious." He immediately went to get his bicycle: "I'll take my father to the town's clinic first. Village chief, what can I do for you?"

"It's nothing serious. I'll tell Lao Huang first, and we can talk in detail when you get back." Chen Zhengang laughed it off when he saw Chen Jun was there.

He didn't care about anything else now and rode his bicycle quickly to his father's house.

Chen Feng didn't notice that Chen Jun's expression was particularly complicated when he saw that Chen Feng already had a bicycle.

After Chen Feng rushed to his father's house, he pushed his bicycle into the yard and, without even locking it, went into the inner room.

"Dad, how are you?"

Chen Laogeng lay on the kang (a heated brick bed), his whole body trembling uncontrollably from the pain, the sweat on his forehead leaving clear water stains on the pillow.

Chen Feng lifted the blanket and saw that his father's originally slender calves were now swollen with a purplish-red bulge.

He touched his father's forehead again; it was burning hot!

Chen Feng's spirits plummeted, and his voice choked with emotion: "Dad, let me get you dressed, let's go to the hospital."

Chen Laogeng was in so much pain that he couldn't speak, and could only nod in acknowledgment.

With his mother's help, Chen Laogeng's clothes were quickly tidied up. Chen Feng carried his father to the back of the bicycle, but still a little worried, he found a rope and tied them together.

Chen Feng was extremely anxious, wishing he had two more legs to pedal the bicycle as fast as he could.

The cool breeze from the bicycle brought some relief to Chen Laogeng's pain, and he said with satisfaction, "Third brother is really capable; he bought a bicycle without saying a word."

"I didn't buy it," Chen Feng explained to his father.

Chen Laogeng was even happier: "As expected of my son, he has my style. Those bad guys need to be taught a lesson!"

These past few days, your eldest daughter-in-law has been nagging your mother and me a lot, saying that you only care about Lin Xiu's relatives now and don't even recognize your own older brothers anymore!

I gave her a good scolding right then and there. "Of the three brothers, you're the one who values ​​family the most!"

Chen Feng knew his father was subtly reminding him, and immediately promised, "Dad, let's go see a doctor first. Once I'm done with this busy period, I'll take care of my older brothers as much as I can!"

Seeing that his son understood his good intentions, Chen Laogeng sighed, realizing that his third son had truly grown up. Sometimes it wasn't that he was biased, but rather that parents always want all their children to succeed.

At the town's health center, a doctor who had participated in the previous rescue saw Chen Feng carrying an old man and immediately went to help: "Chen Feng, right? Is this your father?"

"Yes, it seems my father has broken his leg. Could you please take a look?"

The doctor examined Chen Laogeng's right leg, pressed it several times, and then asked him about his basic condition.

He had just said with a serious expression, "Help him to the bed in the examination room, I'll go get the medicine. The old man's leg injury is quite serious!"
