Back to the Eighties: Mountain Foraging is Also a Way of Life

Chapter 807: The Positioning is a Bit Off

This chapter is machine-translated by AI, with ongoing community review. Quality may vary between chapters.

Soon, Wang An and the other two arrived at the processing plant. As soon as the owner saw Wang An pulling up with another cartload of grain, he beamed with absolute joy and happiness.

It had to be said that contracting a processing plant at this time put a great deal of pressure on the owner. Mainly, aside from the business brought in by various unit cafeterias, individual business was truly scarce.

However, Wang An knew that as people began to have surplus grain year after year and more money in their pockets, the milling paths in the various hamlets were gradually falling into disuse.

After all, compared to something that could be solved quickly by spending a little money, the speed of a manual mill was far too slow; moreover, the work of milling was truly exhausting.

This time, the owner was quite generous. For processing 6,750 catties of corn kernels—including dehulling and grinding them into cornmeal—and processing 500 catties of black beans into bean flour, he only charged Wang An 13.5 yuan, giving him a discount of 50 cents.

Although Wang An didn't care about 50 cents, the feeling of enjoying a discount was still very pleasant.

Thus, Wang An paid the processing fee without hesitation.

After paying and unloading several bags of grain, Wang An said to Mu Xueli and Wang Li

"I have some things to take care of in a bit. Once the processing is done, you two go ahead and drive back. Once I've finished my business, I'll take the forestry farm's small train back myself."

Pausing for a moment, Wang An added to Mu Xueli

"Right, tell your sister when you get back that if I can't catch the small train later, I'll come back tomorrow."

The reason he said this was that Wang An planned to go see Wu Dong, which would definitely take up some time.

The key was that so much time had passed, and he didn't know what Wu Dong, Wang Shuai, and the others were busy with; there had been no movement regarding the pharmaceutical factory.

After Wang An finished speaking, Mu Xueli immediately asked curiously

"Brother-in-law, what are you going to do? How about I go with you? We can let Old Fifth go back first?"

Wang An was momentarily stunned. The main issue was that the business he was about to attend to involved looking for a woman. Looking for a woman while bringing along his brother-in-law—what the hell kind of situation was that?

Therefore, Wang An gave Mu Xueli an annoyed glance and said

"I'm going to research that scar-removal medicine. What would you do there?"

Mu Xueli chuckled, scratching his head, and said

"I brought the money. I was thinking of driving the walking tractor back today."

Hearing this, Wang An remembered that just a few days ago, Su Family Hamlet had finished distributing the green seedlings.

His father-in-law's household now had four people in total and had been allocated a bit over 31 mu of land, which was quite a decent amount.

However, of those 31 mu, a full 20-plus mu were corn; the paddy fields were less than 2 mu, and the rest were soybeans and sorghum.

After thinking it over, Wang An said directly

"Then just give the money to me. I reckon today might be a stretch; I'll help you drive the tractor back tomorrow."

Hearing this, Mu Xueli happily handed the money to Wang An, while also reminding him

"Brother-in-law, don't forget to buy me a bucket of diesel on your way back, hehehehe..."

Wang An waved his hand and turned to walk out of the processing plant.

It had to be said that when a man's mind is filled with lust, everything he thinks about is absolutely related to women. Moreover, at twenty years old, Wang An was quite addicted to "shelling" [having sex].

If he didn't get to "shell" for a few days, he would lose interest in everything he did, feeling stifled and uncomfortable all over, with his heart longing for just one session.

Of course, it wasn't just Wang An; almost every young lad was of this disposition.

Unfortunately, Shen Wei had been helping out at Wang An's house lately. She would bring the child over very early in the morning and only take the child home after helping clean up in the evening. Aside from going home at noon to deliver food to her mother-in-law, she was busy at Wang An's house almost all day.

This resulted in Wang An being unable to find an opportunity to "shell" with Shen Wei.

Consequently, after walking out of the processing plant, Wang An's walking speed could only be described as "lightning fast," moving along with great haste.

No exaggeration—if he didn't have to expend physical energy later, Wang An would have done a full-out sprint, like a hunter chasing a dog.

In Wang An's view, "shelling" was as important as eating; if one wasn't proactive about it, there was clearly something wrong with their brain.

Checking his watch, Wang An headed straight for the county hospital without hesitation.

It was still early; Fang Xiu'e certainly wouldn't have finished work yet.

When Wang An arrived at the hospital office, Fang Xiu'e wasn't there; instead, Fang Xiuying was.

Seeing Wang An, Fang Xiuying was naturally very happy and insisted on taking Wang An's hand to feel his pulse.

However, although this woman, Fang Xiuying, looked basically identical to Fang Xiu'e, Wang An had no desire to touch her. So, after the pulse check, Wang An asked impatiently

"Has the new formula for that medicine been worked out? They're waiting for it over there."

Fang Xiuying gave Wang An a sidelong glance, seemingly blaming him for lacking romance, and said with a bit of an atmospheric tone

"It was worked out long ago. I thought you didn't want it anymore."

Wang An said with a smile

"Of course I want it; I'm counting on it to make money. How could I not want it? By the way, where's your sister? What is she doing?"

Before they had even exchanged a few words, the fact that Wang An was looking for Fang Xiu'e caused Fang Xiuying's brows to knit and her small mouth to pout immediately.

Fang Xiuying gave Wang An another sidelong glance and said with a hint of a huff

"I don't know. Find her yourself."

Immediately after, Fang Xiuying lowered her head sullenly and stopped talking.

Clearly, Fang Xiuying's positioning was a bit off; she was taking herself too seriously.

Unfortunately, Wang An was not someone to be trifled with. Although he didn't want to touch Fang Xiuying, this "not wanting to touch" only applied to the romantic sense.

If he treated Fang Xiuying like a man, there was actually no problem.

Thus, Wang An muttered somewhat angrily

"Oh for fuck's sake, you stinking woman."

After muttering, Wang An noticed that besides Fang Xiuying, the only other doctor currently in the office was walking outside. Wang An decided he must teach Fang Xiuying a lesson.

Therefore, once the sound of footsteps in the corridor had faded into the distance, Wang An suddenly stood up. With lightning speed, he grabbed Fang Xiuying's clothes and hoisted her up like a sack of grain.

Then, Wang An yanked Fang Xiuying toward the edge of the table and delivered a fierce slap right across her large backside.

With a crisp "smack," Fang Xiuying let out a loud "ow!"

One could tell that this slap had definitely hurt her.

Mainly, Fang Xiuying never expected that this beast of a man, Wang An, would actually hit a woman.

And he hit her on the ass!!

However, halfway through her cry, Fang Xiuying forced her mouth shut.
