Chapter 190

In the morning, Wang An woke up late.

The main reason was that he and Mu Xueqing had tossed and turned too many times last night, reviewing many positions, which was truly a bit tiring!

After washing up, Wang An ate three steamed buns made of mixed flour and a small basin of badger meat before he felt full; the energy he had lost last night had finally returned!

While Wang An was packing his things, the bell at the brigade headquarters rang. Wang Dazhu, Liu Guilan, and Mu Xueqing all hurried over; this was the start of drawing lots to divide the land!

Actually, only one person from each family needed to go, but when so many people knew that they finally had land of their own, they were all filled with excitement and anticipation.

Chinese civilization has existed for thousands of years, and this was the first time in history; for farmers who lived by farming, land was the foundation of their survival.

As someone who had lived a second life, Wang An had absolutely no interest in the land division. The land was divided according to population, so no matter how it was divided, one wouldn't get an extra piece or a smaller piece.

You have to know that when the land was being measured, the whole village was watching; who would dare to cheat? Even if one could cheat, would a fraction of a plot make one rich?

Therefore, Wang An very calmly drove the sled to the county town; no matter the time, having money in one's pocket prevents panic!

This time entering the county town, there was less meat; the sled only carried a pile of hares and four badgers. The four badgers weren't for sale, but were to be given to Wu Dong and his three friends.

Speeding along, when passing a bend, Wang An specifically took a look. At this bend, besides the firecracker debris that hadn't been blown away much by the wind, there was also the circle where the double-kick firecrackers had been set off; and don't say, this circle was actually quite round!

Arriving at Wu Dong's house, the gate was open, which meant there were people at home, so Wang An drove the sled directly into the courtyard.

Unexpectedly, a brand-new Jeep was parked in the yard, and the most impressive thing was that this car was actually produced in China!

Cars were rare items at this time, let alone those produced in China; that was a rarity among rarities!

The key was that many car parts at this time were turned one by one by worker brothers on lathes, so the production capacity could be imagined.

Of course, as a heavy industry base, and with Bingcheng being the eldest son of China, having a few of these cars was normal, but what kind of powerful person could afford to drive one?

Most importantly, one had to have the hard power to drive this car; ordinary small officials could certainly only look at it, or at most touch it.

Seeing Wang An enter the yard, Wang Shuai greeted him from the room, laughing and saying, "Isn't this my dear brother from another mother?"

Behind Wang Shuai followed Wu Dong and the other two. Seeing Wang An, they all greeted him warmly. It was clear that these four second-generation youths now accepted Wang An and treated him as a serious brother.

Just as the four of them gathered around, Wang An stuffed a badger carcass into each of their hands, laughing as he said, "I've brought some good stuff for my brothers from other mothers to eat."

The four of them looked at it for a long time, and Wang Shuai frowned and asked, "What is this stuff? Did you kill someone's guard dog?"

To tell the truth, a badger carcass does look a bit like a dog carcass. Although Wu Dong didn't recognize what it was, he could see it wasn't a dog carcass, so he argued with Wang Shuai, saying, "Is your dog this fat? Besides, how could Brother Wang An use dog meat as a rare gift?"

Wang An laughed and said, "Haha, it has to be my Brother Wu who understands me. This is a badger; it's both meat and has medicinal value. Otherwise, what would I do if you brothers didn't think much of it?"

"A badger? This is good stuff! I heard this thing can kill parasites in the body?" Wang Shuai said in surprise.

Hearing Wang Shuai say this, Wang An blinked his eyes and said, "I've only heard about it killing parasites; I just know this thing can regulate the stomach."

"Alright, my brother Wang An is thoughtful, and my old man will have a treat again," Wu Dong said with a laugh.

"Yeah, last time I brought back the blue sheep, the old man praised me a lot. This time, I have to let my brothers envy me properly," Ma Guoqiang added.

"Yeah, everyone's nostrils are pointing to the sky; if I don't stir up some excitement, the old man will almost forget me," He Liang added.

Hearing the conversation of these second-generation youths, Wang An knew that everyone had their difficulties; even those who looked infinitely glorious had things they cared about deeply. Wang An took 8 more hares from the sled, stuffed one into each person's hand, and carried the remaining 4, walking into the house while chatting.

After entering the house, Wang Shuai asked Wang An with a laugh, "Do you know how much money those chamois skins sold for?"

Wu Dong and the other two also looked at Wang An with smiles, as if waiting for Wang An to give the answer.

Wang An thought for a moment and gave a large number: "10,000?"

But the four of them just smiled without speaking, still looking at Wang An like that.

This time it was Wang An's turn to be surprised. The number 10,000 was a wild guess Wang An made with great effort, because with the supply and marketing cooperative's purchase price as a comparison, 10,000 felt unlikely.

"Hahaha, I didn't expect Brother Xiao An to be able to pull that off," Wang Shuai said with a laugh, looking at Wang An's stunned expression.

Wu Dong and the other two also laughed, because Wang An's impression on the four had always been very calm; no matter how much money, he was always that calm.

"Hahaha, 16,000 yuan, surprised? Unexpected?" Wu Dong said with a loud laugh.

Hearing this number, Wang An's eyelids twitched; it was indeed a surprise, and indeed unexpected!

Thirty-nine and a half chamois skins, 16,000 yuan! What kind of number is this? This is an unbelievable number! This is a number that makes one dare not believe it!

Calculating it, one chamois skin is 400 yuan; this price is more expensive than sable, too crazy, simply too damn crazy! Wang An couldn't help but think to himself.

After Wu Dong finished speaking, he opened the safe and took out 10 stacks of "Great Unity" bills he had prepared, placing them next to Wang An.

Wang An calculated roughly in his heart: thirty-nine and a half chamois skins, because they were all large skins, if the supply and marketing cooperative bought them, it would be about 3,000 yuan.

That is to say, after taking 3,000 yuan, he should take another 6,500 yuan. Now the situation was that there was 500 yuan extra, so Wang An directly took out a stack of "Great Unity" bills, counted out 50, and handed them back to Wu Dong.

And he said unhappily, "What do my brothers mean by this? Playing like this isn't good, right?"

"Look, look, I said my brother Wang An isn't that kind of person. You doing this is just redundant. See? Was I right or not?"

Seeing Wang An's action, Wang Shuai immediately became smug and began to lecture Wu Dong with his head held high; actually, it was also to ease the atmosphere.

"It's my fault, it's my fault, Xiao An, don't mind it." Seeing Wang An's expression was off, Wu Dong quickly apologized and took the 500 yuan.

Wang An's expression immediately changed like a dog's face, not letting the awkward atmosphere continue, and he said with a laugh, "What are you saying? If my Brother Wu had insisted a bit more, I might have kept the money. 500 yuan is not a small amount, hahaha."

The group all laughed, dispelling the slightly awkward atmosphere from just before.
