Tonight, although the Zhao family's dinner had not many dishes, it was very rich.
Beef in soy sauce, beef head in soy sauce, and steak dipped in chive flowers. The three main dishes are all served on large round plates, along with several stir-fried vegetables and cold dishes, making a total of ten dishes.
In the west room, the men exchange cups, eat meat and drink wine.
After Huang Gui stayed in Yongsheng for these days, he heard the nickname of Cow Slaughter Cannon. But when he first returned to Zhao's house, he was still drunk. He just said that he wanted to kill tigers and did not mention it.
Later, he slowly sobered up and chatted with everyone, mainly about hunting tigers. Only when Song Lixia said that Zhao Youcai had killed another cow did Huang Gui think of the cow-butchering cannon.
But then he heard Zhao Youcai yelling loudly, and Wang Qiang and Zhao Weipeng couldn't hold him back. Seeing this, Huang Gui, who had always been tough, didn't dare to say a word.
At the dinner table, everyone was enjoying the delicious beef. Only Zhao Youcai did not take a bite, holding peanuts in his hands and drinking wine.
According to Song Lixia, when Fan Tiangui returned to their village, all the men, women, and children in the village were having a meeting in the village compound.
Seeing Fan Tiangui coming back with the sledge, old Mrs. Fan asked, and then Fan Tiangui told the whole village about Zhao Youcai's butchering of cattle.
In other words, the entire Wynn Village knew about it.
"I'm from CNM!" Zhao Youcai put down his wine glass and muttered, "Fan Tiangui is suffering from the great plague."
When everyone heard the commotion, they looked at Zhao Youcai and the people on his left and right, but no one dared to say anything.
"Brother." Li Dayong picked up the wine glass and touched it with Zhao Youcai. Then he drank the wine without saying anything.
After the meal was finished, the diners dispersed, and Zhao Youcai took the opportunity to use the toilet to meet Li Dayong outside the hospital.
"Brother." Li Dayong took out a wad of money from his pocket, stuffed it directly into Zhao Youcai's pocket, and said, "Dachun asked me to bring you...five hundred yuan."
After Zhao Youcai turned over the money from selling the leopard skin, Wang Meilan gave him a thousand yuan. The thousand yuan had only been saved for a few days, and half of it was taken out.
The five hundred yuan must be returned to Wang Meilan. Because Wang Meilan gave Zhao Youcai two thousand yuan, five hundred of which was used to buy cattle, and the five hundred yuan must be returned to Wang Meilan.
The final result was that Wang Meilan spent 500 yuan to buy cattle, Zhao Weipeng paid 240 yuan, and Zhao Youcai paid 260 yuan, adding up to a thousand yuan.
"Brother!" Zhao Youcai looked at the night sky and murmured: "Brother can't turn over this time."
"Tsk! Alas!" Li Dayong sighed, not caring about the severe cold of more than 30 degrees below zero, and accompanied Zhao Youcai to wander in front of the door.
"I want to fight tigers with the old pisser." Zhao Youcai suddenly said this, but when Li Dayong was stunned, he heard Zhao Youcai say: "But your sister-in-law can't let me go."
Li Dayong twitched the corner of his mouth and asked in a low voice: "If you want to go up the mountain now, my sister-in-law can't even let you go, right?"
"Alas!" Zhao Youcai sighed heavily and said, "She asked me to go, but I didn't have the nerve to go."
"Huh?" Li Dayong was startled and asked hurriedly: "Then why? My sister-in-law asked you to go, so just go."
Zhao Youcai pursed his lips and said nothing. Yesterday morning when he begged Wang Meilan for money, he personally promised not to go up the mountain again. It had only been a day since he had slapped himself in the face, and Tangtang Zhao felt like he couldn't wipe his head away from his face.
When Zhao Youcai returned home, Zhao Weipeng's snoring could be heard in the west room.
Boss Zhao didn't eat or drink less today. He didn't care about the more than 200 yuan he had to pay. After eating and drinking enough, he lay down on the kang and fell asleep.
"Dad." Seeing Zhao Youcai come in, Zhao Jun tore off half a piece of toilet paper and handed it to Zhao Youcai, hoping that Zhao Youcai would plug his ears like himself.
What Zhao Jun didn't expect was that his hot face was pressed against his cold buttocks. Zhao Youcai didn't pay attention to him. He rolled up his quilt, sandwiched his bedroll, grabbed his pillow and left.
Seeing that Zhao Youcai went back to the east room to sleep, Zhao Jun didn't care about him, just got into bed and turned off the light to sleep.
When Zhao Youcai entered the east room, Wang Meilan was educating Zhao Hong.
"Ah? If someone doesn't vote for your mother, you'll beat them up?" Wang Meilan asked Zhao Hong, "Are you the village master?"
Zhao Hong pursed her lips and remained silent, while Wang Meilan continued to reprimand: "The teacher said you didn't listen well in class, so what have you done? What's your day?"
After saying that, Wang Meilan pointed to the little bell sleeping on the bed, took her as a positive example, and educated Zhao Hong: "You are with bells every day, you learn how to use bells..."
"Mr. Zhao." Xiao Lingdang stood up from the bed and said to Wang Meilan: "I didn't catch up today."
"What the hell?" Xiao Lingdang's words made Wang Meilan stunned.
Xiao Lingdang is a guest. She sleeps on the warmest end of the kang. There are Zhao Na and Zhao Hong between her and Wang Meilan.
At this time, the little girl sat up and said to Wang Meilan: "Mrs. Zhao, I went over today, Xiaohong, and Xiaoqiao have already beaten that boy Sun Er. I wonder if I can't beat him again?"
Xiao Lingdang always felt that Zhao Hong and Li Xiaoqiao were fighting with each other and it was a bit unfair for him not to go and help.
"What are you talking about?" Wang Meilan couldn't hold back her laughter and said, "Lingdang, we can't always fight with others."
Since the gang beat up Chen Dalai's son, these girls have become very powerful. Although doing this kind of thing is rude, it can solve the problem. But once you get used to it, it's really hard to change.
When Little Bell nodded obediently, Zhao Youcai came in with his bedding in his arms. Seeing this, Wang Meilan asked, "Why don't you sleep in that room?"
This room can sleep on the kang, but Zhao Youcai had a cold and fever before, and Wang Meilan was afraid that he would infect the child, so she had to let him sleep in the west room.
Later, Zhao Weipeng came, and the two brothers hit it off immediately. They talked all night long and fell asleep.
"That brother's talking, I won't talk to him." Zhao Youcai said, walked to the kang, put the bedroll next to Wang Meilan, and then said to Zhao Hong: "Second daughter, don't be direct in the future.
It's not good to hit someone first."
Wang Meilan glanced at Zhao Youcai appreciatively, but heard Zhao Youcai continue: "I rushed to get out of school, beat him secretly on the way, and knocked him down behind my back..."
"What are you talking about?" Wang Meilan returned her hand and gave Zhao Youcai a pestle, shouting: "You don't want to educate your children!"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! What Zhao Youcai said was a joke. After he said it, he was happy, and the three little girls were also happy. The matter was over.
Five minutes later, the lights in the east room went out and it was dark.
After another five minutes, the three little girls breathed evenly and all fell asleep.
"Alas!" Zhao Youcai sighed in the darkness, and Wang Meilan, who was about to fall asleep, frowned.
"Alas!" Another sigh completely dispelled Wang Meilan's sleepiness. Wang Meilan turned over suddenly and said to Zhao Youcai in a low voice: "If you continue to 'ahem', you can go to that room and sleep."
"Lan Na." Zhao Youcai whispered: "You old man is embarrassed."
Wang Meilan twitched the corner of her mouth and said, "It's okay, I was embarrassed yesterday."
As soon as Wang Meilan said this, Zhao Youcai paused for a few seconds and said, "That's not the same thing."
"What's that?" Wang Meilan said angrily: "What else do you want to do?"
"I have to get my face back!" Zhao Youcai said, "Otherwise I won't be able to hold my head high for the rest of my life."
"Yeah!" Wang Meilan said softly, which gave Zhao Youcai hope. He happily said to Wang Meilan: "Lan Na? Do you think I'm right?"
"I don't care if you're right or not." Wang Meilan said, "Get up tomorrow morning and clean up. I'll take my son and my daughter to move to a new house. You can stay here by yourself."
"Ah?" Zhao Youcai was startled by Wang Meilan's words and said hurriedly: "Lan Na, what are you doing? Are you going to do this so badly that the villagers won't laugh at you?"
"It's a joke, let them laugh at it." Wang Meilan said: "I won't get along with you two."
"Lan Na, please don't do this." Zhao Youcai said, "Let's discuss it again. Let's discuss it."
"What are we discussing?" Wang Meilan said: "You said I won't let you go up the mountain. Our son goes up the mountain to make money. If you go up the mountain, you will either lose money or risk your life."
"I asked you to say this." Zhao Youcai said unconvinced: "I sold the leopard skin for ten thousand yuan, didn't I give it all to you?"
"What's that?" Wang Meilan asked back: "You think the compensation is too small? You have to pay out all 10,000 yuan."
"That's not true." Zhao Youcai said: "Lan Na, you look at me as only about forty years old, and you won't let me go up the mountain. How aggrieved will I be?"
"You should go to work quickly." Wang Meilan said: "Besides, didn't you say what you said yesterday? You will never go up the mountain again."
"Lan Na, isn't this embarrassing?" Zhao Youcai said: "Everyone in the village calls me a cow-slaughterer. I won't be able to go out anymore."
"Oh!" Wang Meilan also sighed after hearing what Zhao Youcai said. She knew what kind of person Zhao Youcai was. Zhao Youcai was not a cheerful person to begin with. He was usually a little bored. If there was something he couldn't get over, he would definitely
Still have to struggle.
"Lan!" Seeing that Wang Meilan was silent, Zhao Youcai hurriedly stepped forward, put his arm around Wang Meilan, and said, "I will go up the mountain again this time, and I will give you the money after selling whatever I want."
"You can pull him down." Wang Meilan pushed Zhao Youcai away and said, "It's better if I don't follow you to get money."
"No, Lan..." Zhao Youcai was interrupted mid-sentence by Wang Meilan, who said, "If you want to go up the mountain, throw me a hundred dollars first."
"One hundred yuan?" Zhao Youcai was anxious, he said: "What can I ask for? I'll give you one hundred yuan?"
"If you can't earn even one hundred, why are you going to do it?" Wang Meilan said, "Go to bed quickly. I have to make dumplings tomorrow morning."
"Lan, Lan!" Zhao Youcai hurriedly stopped Wang Meilan and said, "I will give you a hundred yuan, but if you sell it for something, the money will be mine."
In the darkness, Wang Meilan couldn't see Zhao Youcai clearly, but she glanced at him and said, "Let's talk about it after it's over."
Wang Meilan knew that if she didn't let Zhao Youcai go, Zhao Youcai would go secretly. Wang Meilan had nothing to do. Divorce and family separation were impossible as she said. If it really got to that level, it would really be a village.
What a joke, even Wang Meilan and Zhao Jun's faces don't look good.
Therefore, Wang Meilan wanted to give Zhao Youcai some restrictions. It would not only make Zhao Youcai enjoy hunting in the mountains, but also put some restrictions on his behavior.
As for Zhao Youcai making money, Wang Meilan is confident that there is a way to collect it.
"Lana, then I'll throw you a hundred dollars tomorrow morning." Zhao Youcai said with excitement, "I'll go fight with my son and the others tomorrow."
"Haha, okay." After hearing what Zhao Youcai said, Wang Meilan laughed and agreed directly.
Not to mention how much money Zhao Youcai can get from killing Heixiazizigu, the key point is that the thing is not sold on the spot. By the time Heixiazizigu does it, Zhao Youcai will probably go bankrupt long ago.
"Okay?" Zhao Youcai was overjoyed when he heard this, but Wang Meilan said: "You can throw two hundred for me tomorrow."
"Huh?" Zhao Youcai was stunned and asked, "Why?"
"Why?" Wang Meilan asked back: "Did you go up the mountain with Brother Zhao that day?"
When Wang Meilan asked this question, Zhao Youcai fell silent, and then heard Wang Meilan say: "Two hundred yuan, not even a penny less!"
Zhao Youcai pursed his lips and said nothing. At this time, he still had two hundred and forty yuan in his hand, and he was really reluctant to part with it.
At this time, Wang Meilan said again: "You can't go with me, you can only leave me in front of our house, do you hear me?"
Another reason why Zhao Youcai wandered around his home was that Wang Meilan was afraid that he would sneak away with Huang Gui.
"Yeah, okay." Zhao Youcai nodded in agreement, mentally calculating how much money he would get from going to hunt bears in the mountains tomorrow.
A night of silence.
The next day, December 22, 1987, was the day of the winter solstice.
Wang Meilan got up early to make dumplings. This meal of dumplings should normally be eaten in the evening, but today Huang Gui was leaving, so Wang Meilan wanted to make dumplings for the guests.
While Wang Meilan was making dumplings in the outer room, Zhao Youcai walked out of the back room. When he came to Wang Meilan's side, Zhao Youcai whispered in Wang Meilan's ear: "Lan Na, I'll give you seven hundred yuan under your pillow."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Ah?" Wang Meilan was shocked and heard Zhao Youcai say: "Five hundred is cattle money."
Wang Meilan glanced at Zhao Youcai and said nothing. Zhao Youcai went out to the latrine and came back to the cellar to get enough potatoes for the dog food.
When Zhao Youcai returned to the house after feeding the dog, he saw Zhao Jun, who had just gotten up, whispering to Wang Meilan in the outhouse.
Seeing Zhao Youcai come in, Zhao Jun asked with a smile: "Dad, have you finished feeding the dog?"
"Ah..." Zhao Youcai glanced at Zhao Jun, put down the dog food bowl with a consent, and then started to help Wang Meilan make dumplings.
But not long after, Jin Xiaomei came from the west courtyard and replaced Zhao Youcai to help Wang Meilan.
At half past six, Jie Chen, the old lady, Xie Sunshi, Liu Lanying, Huang Gui, Jiang Weifeng, Chen Jinjun, and Chen Jinyong came to the door. The old lady, Xie Sunshi and Liu Lanying helped Wang Meilan make dumplings, while the men chatted in the west room.
After dinner, around 7:30, the men sat on the edge of the kang in the west room for a while and put on their leggings together.
Li Dayong, the deputy leader of the dispatch team, said that there was Mosga today. So today's plan is for the men to ride up the mountain together in a car, work together to carry the cannon eggs onto the liberation vehicle, and then go to the forest farm together.
When they arrived at the forest farm, those who were supposed to go to work went to work. The four of them, Huang Gui, went to catch up with Mosga, Zhao Jun, Zhao Youcai, Wang Qiang, Jie Chen, and Zhao Weipeng. The five of them took the bus back to the No. 27 Linban Kill Heixiazi warehouse to sneak away and catch someone.
After everything was packed up, Huang Gui was the first to get up and walk towards the east room, followed by Jiang Weifeng, Chen Jinjun and Chen Jinyong.
When Zhao Jun saw this, he didn't think much about it. Before Huang Gui and the others left, it was necessary to say hello to Wang Meilan.
Arriving in the east room, Huang Gui nodded to the old lady, and then said to Wang Meilan, who was tying Zhao Hong's hair: "Sister-in-law, let's go!"
Wang Meilan let go of Zhao Hong, turned around and stood up and said: "Brother, it's hard to come here, please stay for two more days."
"I can't help it, there's something going on at home." When Huang Gui thought about going back to Lingnan to fight tigers, he felt full of fighting spirit. The past year had not been very smooth for him either. First he broke the dog gang, and then broke his leg.
.
When weaving baskets, the most important thing is to close them.
As the New Year approaches, Huang Gui also wants to avenge his past humiliation.
Everyone sent Huang Gui away and drove two cars up the mountain today. Zhao Weipeng drove his big jeep, Zhao Youcai sat in the passenger seat, and Li Dayong was in the back seat. They also had to pick up Wang Qiang and Lin Xiangshun.
When Jie Chen was driving for liberation, Zhao Jun originally asked Jiang Weifeng and Huang Gui to squeeze into the co-pilot, but Huang Gui seemed to have something to say to him, so he dragged Zhao Jun into the carriage.
After getting on the bus, Huang Gui actually took out a wad of money from his pocket and stuffed it into Zhao Jun's hand.
