Under the red lantern, Wang Meilan announced to the three most important men in her life: "I want to run for women's director!"
Zhao Jun and Wang Qiang looked at each other and said in unison: "Okay, Mom (sister)!"
Every time you are happy, there will be people who disappoint you.
"Can you do it?" Zhao Youcai's question was like a basin of cold water. Although it couldn't extinguish the burning flame in Wang Meilan's heart, it was quite annoying.
Zhao Youcai continued inappropriately: "With so much work at home in one day, you still have to take care of eight families' affairs?"
What Zhao Youcai said is right. There are so many people in the house every day and there are so many things going on. If Wang Meilan becomes the women's director again, the whole yard of the house will be full of people.
Zhao Youcai's words were met with a blank look from Wang Meilan. Jin Xiaomei and Jie Chen were there, but Wang Meilan didn't know him as well. She just asked everyone to get started and dragged the black blind man and the roe deer into the Li family's house first.
Then, with Wang Meilan taking the lead, Jin Xiaomei, Xie Sunshi, and Hu Sanmei helping, the four of them peeled off the skin and picked out the meat.
Zhao Jun, Zhao Youcai, Wang Qiang, and Jie Chen did not help with the skin removal. They were tired from running around in the mountains for a day. After settling the two hunting dogs, the four of them went to Zhao's house to rest.
When they entered the house, the old lady was watching TV with her children in the east room.
Seeing that the TV was turned on, Zhao Jun couldn't help but be startled and asked: "Have all the TVs been turned on?"
"Ah." Zhao Chun said with a smile: "Mom asked Mr. Zhu's grandson to massage her."
No matter who pressed the button, it was a good thing that he didn't have to do any work himself. Zhao Jun turned sideways and raised his buttocks to sit on the edge of the kang. He reached out and grabbed a handful of melon seeds from the kang table, eating melon seeds and watching TV at the same time.
"Uncle!" Suddenly, Xiaolingdang called Zhao Jun. When Zhao Jun looked at her, Xiaolingdang asked Zhao Jun: "Did you hit the blind man who hurt my father?"
"Yes!" Zhao Jun responded, and Jie Chen turned around and took the shoulder bag thrown on the edge of the kang, and took out a small cloth bag.
"Bell." Jie Chen brought the cloth bag to Xiao Lingdang, and while opening the bag, he said to the little girl: "You can't reach out, this knife is very fast."
Little Bell didn't say anything, and saw Jie Chen opening the cloth bag, revealing a knife.
This knife was left inside the black bear by Zhang Yuanmin. Needless to say, Zhang Yuanmin's knife was really amazing.
"Our knife!" When she saw the word "Zhang" engraved on the knife magazine, Xiao Ling Dang's tears instantly fell down.
Xiao Lingdang did not say "my dad's knife" but said "our family's knife" because this knife was also handed down from the ancestors of their old Zhang family. The character Zhang was engraved on it by Zhang Yuanmin's father, and later the knife was passed down to Zhang Yuanmin.
, followed Zhang Yuanmin from birth to death.
"My child." When she saw Little Lingdang crying, the old lady hugged her distressedly, took out a handkerchief from her pocket and wiped Little Lingdang's tears, and said, "Even the black blind man was beaten to death by your uncle, and your father is not doing well either."
Yes, let’s not cry anymore.”
"Well, Grandma Jiang, I won't cry anymore." Little Lingdang wiped away her tears and was about to go to the ground after coming out of the old lady's arms.
"My child, what are you doing?" the old lady asked, and the little bell said, "I'm going to Nai Li's house to see that black blind man."
"Come on, wait a minute!" The old lady grabbed the little bell and carefully touched her little face with her handkerchief. The little girl had just finished crying, and the old lady was afraid that if she went out, the wind would blow her face.
.
"I'm going too!" Zhao Hong didn't even watch TV and shouted that she wanted to go with Little Lingdang.
When Zhao Hong moved, Zhao Na left. Wang Tian and Lin Xiaobao also got up one after another. Only Wang Xue was too young and was held back by Zhao Chun.
Li Xiaoqiao didn't want to go. She thought it would be better to watch TV in the house, but seeing that other children were going, she felt that if she didn't go, she would be considered unsociable.
So, a group of children wearing new cotton-padded jackets, none of them buttoned up, came out of Zhao's house in groups, and under the leadership of Li Xiaoqiao, came to the front of Li's house.
When these children walked past, the dogs from both families remained silent.
Li Xiaoqiao opened the door unexpectedly, startling the four people who were busy scratching their heads.
Seeing a group of children coming in, Wang Meilan, Jin Xiaomei, Xie Sunshi, and Hu Sanmei were all stunned.
"What do you want to do?" Wang Meilan asked.
Li Xiaoqiao was the first to come in and said, "Auntie, Lingdang wants to avenge her father!"
As expected of someone from a "scholarly family", Li Xiaoqiao could summarize things at a young age better than Chen Youliang, who was several years older than her. If Chen Youliang had Li Xiaoqiao's ability to express and understand, he would not be beaten today.
"Huh?" Wang Meilan was startled when she heard this, but she saw Zhao Hong and Zhao Na ducking on both sides, revealing the little bells holding Lin Xiaobao's hands.
Although these children are young, they see dead black bears and dead wild boars as often as they see dead chickens and fish.
Although the blind black man had been disemboweled, these children were not afraid. Looking at Little Bell again, she clenched her fists and shed tears as she looked at the dead black bear.
"What are you doing?" Wang Meilan stood up and wanted to hug Xiao Lingdang, but when she raised her hand and saw that her hands were stained with blood, she put her hand down again.
"Bell!" At this time, Mrs. Jie Sun called the little bell and said: "Stop crying, my aunt will punch it twice to let you vent your anger!"
As he said that, Xie Sun clenched his fist with his right hand and punched the black bear's neck twice.
While Jiesun was punching the black bear, Zhao Hong picked up the small shovel next to the stove, which was used by the Li family to shovel the ashes from the stove pit.
Zhao Hong wielded a small shovel and chopped the black bear's thigh. While doing so, she shouted: "Bell, I'll chop it for you!"
As soon as Zhao Hong made a move, the other children rushed over and surrounded the black bear, kicking it.
Here in the Northeast, Zhao Hong's behavior should be called a gun.
When fighting in a group, one person has to make the first move. The first attack from the person who makes the first move is called a shot.
As for the other children, what they are doing right now is called circle kicking.
"Hey? Hey!" Wang Meilan and Jin Xiaomei hurriedly tried to stop the children, but they saw Little Bell jumping on the black bear and hammering it with a pair of small fists.
Wang Meilan and Jin Xiaomei looked at each other. Jin Xiaomei winked at Wang Meilan. Wang Meilan put her hand into the bucket next to her and washed her hands before taking the children home.
Before leaving the Li family's house, Wang Meilan asked Jin Xiaomei to dip it in bear bile. The bear bile that the four people killed today was now on the Li family's stove. There was a big pot cooking in the Zhao family's house, so Wang Meilan took it from Zhao Youcai.
After receiving the bear bile, he took it to Li's house.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! When Wang Meilan came out of Li's house with the group of children, the dogs in the two courtyards started to bark one after another.
Wang Meilan walked out with her children. As soon as she left the yard, she saw Li Dayong, Li Baoyu and Lin Xiangshun returning home from get off work.
"dad!"
"dad!"
Li Xiaoqiao and Lin Xiaobao rushed out and pounced on Li Dayong and Lin Xiangshun respectively.
The other children were fine, but little Lingdang was a little touched at this moment. She missed Zhang Yuanmin and Yang Yufeng.
"It's time to get off work!" Wang Meilan said hello to the three of them, then pointed to the big lantern hanging high on the door of her courtyard and said, "I also lit the lantern today, look at how bright it is."
Indeed, without these two lanterns, this area would be completely dark.
If Wang Meilan didn't mention it, Li Dayong and the others would still have to ask when they entered the house, why did they light the lanterns in such a disrespectful year?
But now Wang Meilan mentioned it herself, and the three of them could only laugh and say yes.
Seeing that everyone agreed with her approach, Wang Meilan smiled and felt happy.
Now that the days are getting better and better, Wang Meilan has higher pursuits. She looked at Li Dayong and asked: "Is Ruhai really not back?"
Jin Xiaomei took time out today to secretly tell Wang Meilan about Li Ruhai. Regarding Li Ruhai's words and the consequences, Wang Meilan didn't know how to evaluate this child. But if Li Ruhai doesn't come back, the matter of canvassing votes will have to be postponed.
Pushed.
"I won't let him come back." Li Dayong said, "He's back. It's hard to say if I don't take him with me tomorrow."
Li Ruhai is Li Baoyu's younger brother. Tomorrow is a good day for Li Baoyu, but it is not a wedding. If Li Ruhai wants to go to work, then it doesn't matter if he doesn't show up. But if Li Ruhai is in the village and doesn't show up, then the old Li family will be disgraced.
.
After handing the children over to Li Dayong and the others, Wang Meilan turned around and returned to Li's house. By this time, the roe deer had finished robbing the blind man, and Jin Xiaomei and the others were robbing the blind man.
Seeing that they still had to fight for a while, Wang Meilan grabbed a roe deer leg and carried it back home.
"Aunt!" Seeing Wang Meilan come back, Liu Lanying said to her, "We'll be done cooking just two more dishes."
"Don't worry about frying it yet." Wang Meilan picked up the roe deer leg in her hand and said to Liu Lanying: "The black blind man has to fry it for a while, you guys did it."
"Oh my god." Liu Lanying subconsciously took the roe deer's leg, but asked Wang Meilan: "Auntie, if you keep doing this, when will you be able to eat?"
About ninety kilograms of big green millet seeds, if the thighs are not open for three hours, I am afraid that I will not be able to eat them.
"Chop it!" Wang Meilan waved her hand and said: "Boiled meatballs, fried meatballs!"
"Okay!" Liu Lanying heard that she was going to make meatballs, but she nodded in agreement.
Making meatballs is almost the same as chopping stuffing. Now there are Zhao Ling, Xu Chunyan and her in the outer room of the Zhao family, so the three of them can chop meat quickly.
"Sister!" At this time, Zhao Ling called to Wang Meilan and said, "Is the food enough to eat? There is a big pot of sauerkraut stewed with big bones."
"Don't be afraid!" Wang Meilan waved her hand and said, "The food is left. You and your family can pack it into a lunch box. It will be more delicious when cooked tomorrow."
After saying that, Wang Meilan turned around and went out. Liu Lanying, Zhao Ling, and Xu Chunyan divided the roe deer legs and prepared to chop the stuffing.
At this time, Lin Xiangshun's voice scolding Lin Xiaobao came from the east room. It seemed that Lin Xiaobao didn't eat enough candy, and Lin Xiangshun stopped him from eating it.
Listening to her man training her children, Xu Chunyan didn't care at all. Instead, while cutting the meat, she said to Liu Lanying: "Sister-in-law Jie, I envy you now. It would be great if my little treasure is as big as your son. One day,
Then you are disobedient."
…
Xiangyangtun, Lingnan.
A motorcycle drove in from the east end of Tuen. There were two people sitting in the car, one behind the other. The person behind gave the motorcycle directions. Finally, the motorcycle stopped outside the gate of Lao Jie's courtyard.
Xie Zhong and Liu Lanying's son, Xie Yingming, came down from behind and stood outside the gate of his courtyard, staring blankly at the dark yard and house.
"No?" the motorcyclist asked from behind him: "Where is your family?"
Xie Yingming: "..."
The motorcyclist looked at Xie Yingming, and he was confused at this time. He was a colleague of Sun Haizhu. His home was eighteen miles away from Xiangyangtun. He happened to be going home today, so Sun Haizhu asked him to bring Xie Yingming back.
Before Xie Yingming came back, Sun Haizhu called Xiangyangtun, but the call didn't go through, probably because the line was on the same route.
However, according to Sun Haizhu, Xie Hua, and Xie Yingming's understanding of Liu Lanying, since she went to Yong'an Village in person, it was impossible to bring back Jie Sun and Xie Chen. Moreover, Liu Lanying's character was soft on the outside and strong on the inside. She said she would come back on Monday or Tuesday.
Today is Saturday, they must have come back.
Xie Yingming missed his mother. He didn't look at Xie Sunshi last time when he came back, so he just wanted to come back and take a look today.
But last time I came back, Liu Lanying was still at home. This time it was better, there was no one at home.
"What..." The motorcyclist got off the car and said to Xie Yingming: "Boy, do you have the key? Let's go into the house and take a look?"
The motorcyclist's surname was Song, and his name was Song Dechen. He was entrusted by Sun Haizhu, so he had to settle down Xie Yingming. Even if there were people in Xie's family, he had to meet Liu Lanying before leaving.
Now, Song Dechen is also a little confused.
Xie Yingming opened the fence door and walked to the house to see that the door was locked. He stood there blankly.
"Well..." Song Dechen said to Xie Yingming: "Why don't you come with me and go to my house. After that, you can stay at my house for a day tomorrow. My son is as big as you. Let him take you skating. I will go to work the day after tomorrow.
, you come back with me again.”
"No need, Uncle Song." Xie Yingming felt embarrassed and said to Song Dechen, "I'm going to my sixth uncle's house."
"Then I'll take you there!" After hearing that Xie Yingming said he didn't want to go with him, Song Dechen didn't force him, but he asked Xie Yingming to get in the car and wanted to take Xie Yingming to where he wanted to go. It's okay for the child not to go with him.
But Song Dechen had to see an adult accept him.
At the same time, the old Zhou family in Yongsheng Village.
Zhou Chunming, Zhou Jianjun and his son were sitting on the kang, surrounded by a quilt. They sat opposite each other across the kang table. In front of them, there were two large bowls in front of them. The bowls were filled with warm water.
In the middle of the Kang table, there were seven or eight pieces of peach cake spread out on a butter paper bag.
At this time, the two of them were chewing a piece of peach cake. Zhou Chunming took a bite of the peach cake, and the peach cake residue fell on the quilt. Zhou Chunming used the pad of his index finger to press the peach cake residue. Every time he pressed, a peach cake residue would stick to it.
On the fingertips.
But after pressing it twice, Zhou Chunming felt irritated. He threw the peach cake in his hand on the Kang table, glared at Zhou Jianjun and shouted: "I'll be back just one day a week, and you let me eat this?"
"Dad..." Zhou Jianjun glanced at Zhou Chunming cautiously. Few people dare to talk to his father these days. Seeing that Zhou Chunming was angry, Zhou Jianjun could only shirk responsibility and said: "Before get off work, I told you, I Mom may not come back. I said I would go with Uncle Li and the others, and I would pick her up..."
"Did you remember to pick her up just now?" Zhou Chunming said angrily, "What were you doing?"
"I..." Zhou Jianjun clicked his eyes twice and said: "My mother said she would be back in two or three days. I thought she would come home after get off work every day. I didn't think about it. I thought my mother was working. Wow, wouldn’t four pairs of quilts be finished in just a few days?”
"It takes a lot of effort to ask you to do something!" Zhou Chunming thought of his grandson whom he hadn't seen for a long time, and became even more angry. He pointed at Zhou Jianjun and said, "I asked you to pick up my grandson. You yelled at me several times, but you didn't do it.
Take it back?"
"I..." Zhou Jianjun said with difficulty: "I said I would go today, but you wouldn't let me. You said my mother knew you were going home today, so she would definitely come back early."
Zhou Chunming: "..."
Zhou Chunming didn't expect this to happen. It's just that his daughter-in-law didn't stay at her parents' house enough and didn't want to come back. What happened to you, Hu Sanmei, who went to your parents' house and stayed at your mother's house forever?
Seeing that his father didn't say anything, Zhou Jianjun plucked up his courage and said, "I'm going to go today. I'll give them to my mother tomorrow morning. Chun'er and Zhou Zhou will take them back!"
"Get out of here!" Zhou Chunming slammed the table and said angrily: "You were going just now, wouldn't you have left me alone tonight?"
As he spoke, Zhou Chunming raised his hand that was slapping the table and pointed at Zhou Jianjun, shouting: "Get up early tomorrow and pick them up there for me!"
