Chapter 115: The sister of childhood friend in the novel (9)
"Ran! Today's meal seems to be very good!" Su Guoan said with a smile.
"Yes! Xiaobai caught a rabbit today. He only ate half of it and gave us the remaining half as a snack." Su Xiangran pointed to the house, "Look, Xiaobai is Wang Xiangbei's dog."
"It's really a dog!" Li Na said in surprise, "It looks like a wolf to me."
"It's a dog. It should be a hybrid of the big dog that Wang Xiangbei had before and a wolf. That's why it looks like a wolf. Besides, there are no wolves in this mountain with such color." Su Xiangran explained to her parents.
Su Xiangran pushed her parents back to the wooden house, and then she walked in carrying a large bowl of diced rabbit potatoes.
"It smells so good!" Li Na helped her daughter bring the staple food, cornmeal steamed bread, to the dining table.
"That's right! I used all my resources for this rabbit." Su Xiangran said proudly, "All these big ingredients will go with it, won't it smell good?"
As she spoke, Su Xiangran placed the leftover corn porridge from lunch and a small bowl of meat and vegetables in front of Wang Xiangbei.
"Here, your injury hasn't healed yet. This is the non-spicy food I made just for you. The steamed bread is too hard, so you should continue to drink the porridge!" Su Xiangran explained a few words to Wang Xiangbei to prevent him from misunderstanding.
After the meal, everyone was very satisfied.
It was at this time that Gu Huanzhi spoke up: "Uncle, aunt, the work of our reclamation team is almost over. The forest farm on the mountain will soon open, and I plan to move to the forest farm to continue to work for the country."
"Huanzhi! Life in the forest farm on the mountain is even harder than on the farm! Are you sure?" Li Na asked worriedly.
"Yes, I can do it." Gu Huanzhi raised his arm to show the Su family his achievements during this period. "I have been in the pioneering team for so long, and I have already practiced it."
"It will be difficult for my brother to stay in the pioneering team alone." Su Xiangran smiled secretly with some schadenfreude.
"You!" Su Xingchen was about to retort when Gu Huanzhi held his hand.
"It's like this, Xingchen and I signed up together, and he went to the forest farm with me." Gu Huanzhi explained for Su Xingchen, "Uncle, aunt, don't worry, the people in the forest farm don't just cut down trees.
Xingchen will be mainly responsible for logistics work there, which is not as heavy as in the pioneering team. Besides, I will take good care of him."
"Brother, you want to go to the forest farm too?" Su Xiangran was a little unconvinced about this arrangement.
"Me!" Su Xingchen could only grit his teeth as he thought of the mission, "Okay, I'll go."
"Then, you must work hard when you get there." Su Guoan was proud of the two young people for being willing to go to a more difficult place.
Li Na was more worried than Su Guoan: "When are you leaving? You should bring more things with you when you go."
"We'll leave tomorrow. The forest farm needs us urgently." Gu Huanzhi smiled and comforted Li Na, "Auntie, it's okay. Xingchen and I will take good care of each other."
"Haha." Su Xiangran nodded at Su Xingchen, "Brother, take care of each other!"
Su Xingchen didn't say anything.
Gu Huanzhi did what he said. After dinner, he started to pack their things, and Su Xingchen also cooperated with him.
"Tomorrow, sister, can you take me up the mountain?" Su Xingchen said as he was tidying up. "Sister, please take me up!"
Su Xiangran was speechless. He was not going to let her go before leaving, right?
But thinking about it, this stinky cat seemed to have never suffered any hardship, and it would be really difficult for him to go to the forest farm this time, so he nodded and agreed.
Coincidentally, the next day, the car that picked up Gu Huanzhi and Su Xingchen to go to the forest farm appeared together with the car that picked up Wang Xiangbei and the village chief who took him back to Zhangjia Village.
Su Xiangran first said "goodbye" to Wang Xiangbei, and then followed the other two people to the forest farm on the mountain.
Wang Xiangbei stood there, looking at the figure disappearing from his sight, his face tense and silent.
"Boy, let's go." Village Chief Zhang patted Wang Xiangbei, "What are you looking at! That's the daughter of Chief Su. I heard she's almost fourteen years old. She's a kind person! Otherwise, you are a trespasser.
Forget saving you, I'm lucky I didn't beat you half to death. Oh, where's your big dog? It was a big one when you left, but it's a small one when you came back."
"Huihui stayed on the mountain, and Xiaobai is its child." Wang Xiangbei rarely said a few more words.
This name made Village Chief Zhang laugh: "You kid, you named the white dog 'Gray Gray', but this one is obviously white with a hint of gray, and you named it 'Little White'."
Wang Xiangbei didn't say anything, but just looked back at the wooden house where he had lived for two days, as if he wanted to engrave something in his mind.
