On the twenty-ninth day of the twelfth lunar month, Zhao Jun left home with money in his pocket. According to Wang Meilan's request, he carried a woven basket and went to the small store to buy peanuts and melon seeds, and by the way, he settled all the accounts from the previous year. This account is not only the bucket of malted milk that Zhao Jun took. In the past two months, when the Zhao family came to the small store to buy anything, they usually had to pay.
This kind of thing is very common in rural areas. After all, people at this time are often short of money, or they have not sold food or mountain goods, and have no cash in their hands.
For a family with a good reputation like the Zhao family, it will definitely be no problem for them to have debts.
Zhao Jun had just gone out and not far away when he heard Li Baoyu calling him from behind. He stopped and waited for Li Baoyu for a while.
Li Baoyu was also going to check out. As the two of them walked, Li Baoyu muttered: "Brother, my dad said he wanted to kill the pig god with my uncle."
"Go." Zhao Jun said nonchalantly: "Let them go."
"What about us?" Li Baoyu was anxious. Although he usually went to the mountains to hunt with Zhao Jun, he mostly watched the fun on the sidelines, but at least he could watch the fun.
Zhao Jun smiled faintly, shook his head, and said nothing more.
As for the methods Zhao Youcai and the others thought of, Zhao Jun had tried them all in his previous life, but never succeeded.
People are old and smart, horses are old and slippery, and rabbits are hard to handle when they are old.
The wild boar is not good at growing old.
Seeing that Zhao Jun was silent, Li Baoyu became a little anxious and pulled Zhao Jun's arm to prevent him from moving forward. "Brother, you should say something."
"Just wait." Zhao Jun said, "Now is not the time."
"How long do we have to wait?" Li Baoyu asked anxiously.
Zhao Jun tilted his head, looked at him and said with a smile: "Brother, you read books every day, don't you know? To do great things, you have to pay attention to the right time, the right place, and the right people."
"God..." Li Baoyu was confused. In his opinion, hunting is just hunting. How can there be any advantage in geography, people and people?
The two of them came to the small shop. There were many people gathered in the small shop, most of them came to buy melon seeds and peanuts.
Zhao Jun and Li Baoyu waited in line for a long time, bought melon seeds and peanuts, and settled the accounts from the previous year. The morning was almost over.
The two of them walked out carrying the weaving basket. Li Baoyu and Zhao Jun said, "Brother, I still have pine nuts, hazelnuts and other things at home. Can I get them for you tomorrow?"
Even though it is already 1987, there is only one radio in Yongan Village, and it is still locked in the village.
Therefore, there is no party to attend on New Year's Day, so the Zhao and Li families will get together on New Year's Eve to play mahjong and make dumplings.
Zhao Jun was originally wondering where Li Baoyu got the pine nuts and hazelnuts. Suddenly he remembered the squirrel nest he dug out that day, and smiled and said: "You can keep it and eat it. I have melon seeds and peanuts are enough."
"Then what should we do tomorrow?" Li Baoyu said, getting excited, "Ruhai still has more than thirty yuan in his pocket. I'm thinking about how I can win it for him."
Zhao Jun:......
When Zhao Jun arrived home, he saw a bicycle parked beside the courtyard wall as soon as he entered the yard.
Zhao Jun was stunned, strode to the front of the house, opened the door and went in. He heard laughter and laughter coming from the house.
"Eldest sister! Eldest brother-in-law!"
It turned out that Zhao Chun had returned to her parents' home, and traveling with her was Zhao Jun's eldest brother-in-law Zhou Jianjun.
"Jun, I will go to work after the new year." Seeing Zhao Jun coming back, Zhou Jianjun spoke directly and told the good news.
"Really?" Although Zhao Jun already knew it, he still pretended to be happy.
Wang Meilan grabbed the melon seeds, scattered the peanuts on the Kang table, and grabbed a handful for Zhou Jianjun alone. Then she pulled Zhao Jun to sit down and said to him: "Son, you have some serious business after work, but you can't mess with your brother-in-law."
It’s troublesome.”
"Mom, that's okay." Zhou Jianjun said, "When my brother comes to the field, I will definitely have to take care of him."
Zhao Jun smiled and nodded at Zhou Jianjun. He knew that Zhou Jianjun was speaking from his heart, and he kept his word.
In his previous life, when he returned to the village in despair, he was able to settle in his eldest sister's house. Many people said that they had a deep love for each other.
But anyone who is sensible will know that the one who truly values friendship should be his brother-in-law.
Otherwise, if his brother-in-law does not want him to live at home, Zhao Jun will not be able to live there.
"Sister?" Zhao Jun suddenly remembered something and turned to ask Zhao Chun: "Why are you back today?"
In the Northeast, married girls usually return to their parents’ home on the second day of junior high school.
When Zhou Jianjun was present, he and Zhao Youcai were talking about coming back from the second day of the new year. For this reason, Wang Meilan even left a bear paw for them.
"Hey, don't mention it." Zhao Chun said, "Don't mention it." But this was just a spoken word, and she immediately said: "Isn't this why I beg you to come?"
When he said the last sentence, Zhao Chun smiled. There was no embarrassment in asking for help in his words, but a bit of ridicule.
"Sister, you are just making trouble." Zhao Jun said with a smile: "If you have anything to do, tell me."
"Your nephew has a rash..."
"Okay, I understand." As soon as Zhao Chung opened his mouth, he was stopped by Zhao Jun. He said to Zhao Youcai and Wang Meilan: "Dad, Mom, we still have three bear gall bladders at home. Give my eldest sister the copper gall bladder."
.
Of the remaining two, one will be given to my Uncle Li’s family, two-thirds of the remaining one will be given to my Uncle Li, and one-third to Brother Zhang.”
Bear bile can not only cure eye diseases, but also rashes.
Especially if a child has a rash, the medicine will really cure it.
However, such luxury is rarely available.
But others can't, but the Zhao family can.
Now there are three bear bile hanging in the warehouse of Zhao Jun's house, and one copper bile, which came from the big bear that Xing Zhiyong and Li San chased together.
The other two grass gallbladders are both related to Zhang Yuanmin.
However, there is only one thing that Zhang Yuanmin can share, which is the guts of the black bear that blew up the tree.
Among the three bear gallbladders, the copper gallbladder is the most valuable and has the best medicinal effects.
Zhao Jun wants to give this to the eldest sister, and he can’t divide the remaining two.
"Yes!" As the head of the family, Zhao Youcai had no objection to this, and immediately made the final decision, saying: "When the eldest daughter leaves later, just take it from the upper and lower rooms."
"Thank you, dad." Zhou Jianjun thanked Zhao Youcai. Although he didn't hunt, he knew how much a copper gall cost.
"It's useless to say that." Zhao Youcai patted Zhou Jianjun casually and said with a smile: "We still talk about this."
The father-in-law and his son-in-law both work at the forestry farm. Every day at noon, Zhou Jianjun goes to the cafeteria where Zhao Youcai works to get food. They see each other every day, and they have a good relationship.
"That's right." Zhao Chun hugged Zhao Jun and said to Zhou Jianjun: "Why are you so polite to my brother?"
"That's right!" Zhou Jianjun suddenly remembered something, stood up, patted Zhao Jun on the shoulder, and said, "I heard that you were saved by Li Luo Guozi that day."
"Did they tell you?"
Zhou Jianjun said: "He and Wei came to my house and brought us a deer thigh."
The family was talking and laughing until almost noon, when Zhao Youcai got up and started cooking himself.
There was a lot of leftover food yesterday, but my daughter doesn’t come back twice a year, so how can I give her the leftovers?
Anyway, there was no shortage of meat at home, so Zhao Youcai started working in the outer room.
Zhou Jianjun originally wanted to help his father-in-law with some work, but was stopped by Wang Meilan.
Wang Meilan said: "Let your dad do it by himself, and save him a day of useless thinking."
