Chapter 18: Parents' Joy

Wang An galloped on the horse, and the dogs followed happily, soon arriving home!

Wang Dazhu and Liu Guilan saw Wang An riding a horse, with another horse tied to the halter (the rope loop on the horse's head), and leading three dogs!

They asked in surprise: "Where did you get these horses? And you got two at once?"

Wang An dismounted and said to the couple with a grin: "What are you saying! I bought them, of course! Look at these two horses, how are they? Are they handsome?"

Liu Guilan complained: "Then you should have just bought one! You got two, what are we going to feed them with? Are you going to feed them?"

Wang An replied with a grin: "They wouldn't sell them separately. They said if they sold them separately, this stallion would be hard to sell!"

Wang Dazhu spoke up: "If he wouldn't sell them separately, then you shouldn't have bought them! We can't afford to raise this stallion! This thing needs to be fed soybeans, eggs, and such! People can't even get enough to eat! Where are we going to get these good things to feed it?"

Wang An scratched his head and said embarrassedly: "Then what should we do? Should we just kill it for meat? We won't raise it as a stud horse, just feed it corn."

The couple looked at each other subconsciously. Wang Dazhu scolded: "You little brat! You only know how to talk nonsense. Kill such a good horse for meat? I think it would be better to kill you for meat!"

Seeing the couple's posture of wanting to beat him, Wang An quickly said with a grin: "Don't be angry, don't be angry. Look at you two, why don't you know how to take a joke? You get all worked up over a joke!"

Liu Guilan said impatiently: "Get out of here! I get angry just looking at you. Every day you only know how to squander the family fortune!" After saying this, she looked at the two horses with a worried frown!

Wang An smiled and tied the three big dogs to the door of the lower room and the shed next to the lower room respectively!

At this time, Wang Dazhu had already led the two horses into the shed and tied them to two posts in the shed that were usually used for hanging things!

Wang An picked up the basket he had just placed at the door and walked up to Wang Dazhu.

He said to Wang Dazhu: "Dad, look, when you have time, build a nest for these five puppies! Otherwise, there's nowhere to put them!"

Wang Dazhu was stunned, and then he was about to get angry instantly!

Seeing his old man's expression was wrong, Wang An quickly took out the Changbai Mountain cigarettes he bought in the morning and stuffed them directly into his old man's hand!

Then he looked at his old man with a grin! And said to Wang Dazhu: "Dad, your son specifically honors you. Try them and see if they're good to smoke?"

Wang Dazhu looked at the cigarettes in his hand, smacked his lips, and the angry expression on his face disappeared instantly!

With a smile on the corner of his mouth, he said: "You little brat, you've learned to order your dad around. Fine, I'll build two more in a while, and there are those three big dogs too!"

Wang An thought for a moment, then took out a ten-yuan bill from his pocket, stuffed it into his old man's hand, and whispered: "Quietly, don't let my mom know!"

Wang Dazhu clutched the ten yuan happily, watching Wang An's back as he walked into the house. This son wasn't raised in vain, he's sensible!!

Wang An carried the sack directly into the west room, hung the 56-semi on the wall! He put the 56-semi bullets from his pocket into the drawer of the kang cabinet!

He took out a pistol and checked it. Seeing it was full of bullets, he put this gun into another pocket!

Then he put the remaining pistol, bullets, and four knives into the drawer!

He opened another drawer and picked out fifty or sixty bullets for the Mosin-Nagant from the four or five hundred loose bullets and put them into his pocket!

The Mosin-Nagant also used 7.62mm bullets, but they were different from the 7.62mm bullets of the 56-semi; the Mosin-Nagant's were thicker than the 56-semi's!

Actually, the Water-Linked Bead rifle is a very excellent long gun! Its power and range are actually much better than the SKS, and strictly speaking, this is a sniper rifle!

It's just that the gun was over 1.3 meters long, not as convenient to carry as the 56-semi, which was just over 1 meter, and it weighed over a jin more than the 56-semi, and it couldn't fire continuously, so more people liked the 56-semi!

But because of price and historical reasons, in the Northeast, the number of hunters actually using the Mosin-Nagant was much higher than those using the 56-semi!

If Mu Xueqing wanted that Mosin-Nagant, Wang An planned to give it to her. If she didn't want it, he'd take it back; after all, it was worth a lot of money!!

After preparing, he calculated in his heart, took out the two stacks of ten-yuan bills from his left inner pocket, and then counted out 40 of them to put back in his pocket!

He walked to the outer room and saw Liu Guilan cooking, it seemed she wanted to make a meal!

He quickly said: "Mom, don't cook. I bought a lot of meat buns. You can just steam them in this hot pot and we can eat!"

Hearing this, Liu Guilan looked up at Wang An, her face, which was full of worry, turned into a face full of anger!

Just as she was about to scold Wang An, she saw the large stack of ten-yuan bills in Wang An's left hand, directly ignoring the sack Wang An was carrying in his right hand!

She hurriedly got up and rushed over, saying in surprise: "Oh my god! Why is there so much money? Did those things sell for so much money?"

As she spoke, she naturally snatched the money from Wang An's hand!

Then, just like when she got the gold nugget a few days ago, she had that same greedy face full of smiles!

Wang An couldn't help but laugh out loud! Seeing Wang An laughing, Liu Guilan didn't mind and immediately asked: "How much money is this in total?"

Wang An said while laughing: "1600 yuan!"

Then he said: "I kept some in my pocket for errands later!" Then he quickly told his mother about Mu Xueqing!

And told his mother that the mother and daughter might have already arrived at those linden trees on the west side of the village!

After hearing this, Liu Guilan didn't care about admiring the money in her hand anymore; it seemed that compared to a daughter-in-law, money didn't smell good at all!

She asked in surprise: "Son, so you found a wife yourself?"

Wang An looked at his mother, who was full of surprise, nodded and said: "Yeah, I'm planning to go to her house in a while!"

Liu Guilan seemed so excited she didn't know what to do! She spun around a few times in the outer room, jumped a few times, and then, like a gust of wind, rushed into the yard!

As she ran, she shouted: "Dazhu! Dazhu, our son has a wife, our son found a wife himself! We don't need to beg those bastards to be matchmakers anymore!"

Wang Dazhu, who was in the yard fiddling with mud bricks (bricks made of mud and chopped straw) to build a dog nest, heard Liu Guilan's shouting, put down the trowel in his hand, and stood up!

He hurriedly asked: "Whose daughter? How old is she?" Liu Guilan, both happy and excited, started repeating the information Wang An had just told her with her mouth flapping!

After hearing it, Wang Dazhu's joy was no less than Liu Guilan's!

Over the past year, because of Wang An's reputation, Wang Dazhu and Liu Guilan had begged countless matchmakers, and one by one they promised well, but there wasn't even a single girl to look at!

For Wang An's marriage, Wang Dazhu and Liu Guilan were both worried to death!!

Wang An watched his parents happily discussing the daughter-in-law! He threw the sack onto the kang in the east room; the three little ones weren't at home!

He went out, greeted his parents, and walked out of the house!

In less than three minutes, Wang An saw the mother and daughter already waiting under the linden trees. He stepped forward to take the reins and drove the cart, pulling the mother and daughter to Mu Xueqing's house together!

The villages where the two families lived weren't far apart; in ten minutes, they arrived at Mu Xueqing's house!

Wang An felt his own house was quite poor! But in Kaoshan Village, most people's houses were about the same as his! Just mud houses with clay tiles!

But when he saw Mu Xueqing's house and yard! Wang An felt his own house was a wealthy household!!
