Chapter 1,231. A gift from the Zhou family to Zhao Jun
In traditional Chinese culture, there is a saying that you should not kill birds in spring and eat fish in April. There are also aphorisms such as "I advise you not to kill birds on branches, for the son is in the nest looking forward to his mother's return."
In the field of hunting, there was also a rule in the past that one should not go into the mountains in spring.
But starting from those difficult years, we no longer abided by this rule. At that time, the grain varieties were not good, and corn sticks were only five or six centimeters long, as long as the index finger, but they had to be collected and used to help the so-called Big Brother to fight the famine.
With that little ration for a month, the family's labor force can be taken care of first, then the children, then the elderly, and finally the women.
According to Ms. Xie Sun, she was so hungry that she ran out to roll elm money in the middle of the night to eat.
But when she said this, Jie Chen's teeth almost went to the back of his head.
This happened indeed, but it did not happen to Jie Sun, but to their neighbor.
Xiangyang Village is not close to mountains and is a rural area. The situation is worse than that in the city, but not as good as in the forest area.
You rely on the mountains to eat the mountains. There are mountain products and livestock in the mountains. Or why do hooligans go to the mountains when they go to the Northeast?
And it was the situation back then that broke the rule of not going into the mountains in spring. After all, people were too hungry to survive, so who could care about that?
Later, with the opening up of wasteland in the Northeast, people basically had enough to eat. However, the production of nature is not like that of crops. The mountains and forests have always had a small harvest every three years and a big harvest every five years.
When the mountain animals don't have enough to eat, they will come out of the mountains in droves and rush to the farmland cultivated and sown by the mountain people.
The people who came from the hard days depended on food. Although the conditions were better, the food they had worked so hard to plant was destroyed by wild animals before the harvest. So who can do it?
In those days, guns were not allowed, and those who did not have guns at home could find help from those who had guns.
This is what is called protecting farmers.
Yong'antun is a family area of the forest farm, and the surrounding farmland is wasteland reclaimed by itself, so the forest farm does not care. If it is necessary to protect the farmers, it is up to who owns the land to figure out how to do it.
As for communes and production teams, they will form specialized farming teams and hunting teams.
But there are so many livestock in the mountains these days, and the livestock steal food at night. How hard is it for the mountain people to work during the day and keep watch at night?
So, there was spring hunting.
This spring of spring hunting is not the spring of warm spring and blooming flowers, but the spring after the beginning of spring.
At this time, except for the bears who have given birth to their cubs in the tree barn, others like wild boars and roe deer have not given birth but are already pregnant. Spring hunting at this time is to reduce the number of mountain livestock from the source.
We can't say that the mountain people are not kind, it's just that times have changed.
But that's all you can't see. If, as Zhao Jun said, the bloody little piglet would fall down with a crackle after being disemboweled, it would be uncomfortable for everyone watching.
"Ah..." After hearing what Zhao Jun said, Zhou Chunming clicked his eyes and said, "Who gave birth to the wild boar?"
"Yes, Uncle Zhou." Zhao Jun said: "It is different from domestic pigs. It is circling in the snow and can only be born after the Qingming Festival."
"Ouch!" Zhou Chunming calculated in his mind, and then said: "It takes five or six months for a wild boar to carry a nest?"
Domestic pigs don't live that many days, usually more than three months, less than four months.
In other words, there is a specialization in the art. Although Zhou Chunming has been in the forest area for many years, he really has never understood the birth of wild boars.
"Yeah." Zhao Jun nodded and said: "We want to decide before and after the Qingming Festival, and it just happened to happen, then..."
At this point, Zhao Jun smiled bitterly, and then continued: "Uncle Zhou, what should I say? At that time, those who understand can't do it. Those who don't understand will stop doing it once."
"Tsk!" Zhou Chunming thought about it for a moment. If he encountered that situation and saw the scene described by Zhao Jun...
Thinking of this, thinking of such a scene, Zhou Chunming was excited.
"It can't be pushed back, right?" Zhou Chunming asked: "At the end of April and May, the leaves have closed the door, right?"
"Yeah." Zhao Jun nodded and said, "That will affect shooting."
Hearing what Zhao Jun said, Zhou Chunming felt a little embarrassed. But he was not a harried person. He knew that if he had to do something, he had to rush early, just like the Yongxing Brigade.
"Okay, Xiaojun." Zhou Chunming sighed lightly and said, "I know, sir. I'll call Director Chu later and we'll discuss it again."
"That's okay, uncle." Zhao Jun stood up and said to Zhou Chunming: "Then you are busy, I'm leaving."
After Zhao Jun said goodbye to Zhou Chunming, he came out of the office with Zhou Jianjun. Zhou Jianjun pulled Zhao Jun out. Zhao Jun couldn't help but asked: "Brother-in-law, where are we going?"
You don't tell me what to do, but you have to tell me where to go?
"Xiaojun, let's go quickly." Zhou Jianjun gestured outward and said, "Let's catch the Forest Railway train."
"No, brother-in-law?" Zhao Jun grabbed Zhou Jianjun and asked, "You don't go to work?"
"I have arranged everything." Zhou Jianjun said, "Let's go early and come back early."
"What are you doing, brother-in-law?" Zhao Jun asked, "What's the matter?"
"Oh! Just leave!" Zhou Jianjun said nothing and dragged Zhao Jun out of the office building.
Zhao Jun followed Zhou Jianjun in confusion. The two of them went around from the front to the back of the building, taking a shortcut and heading straight to the forest farm gate.
Walking, walking, a dark shadow suddenly appeared from the men's toilet not far away, startling Zhao Jun suddenly.
The man came out of the hut and ran towards the door. Zhou Jianjun subconsciously exclaimed.
During working hours, this guy sneaks out of the forest farm. How can we not make people suspicious?
The man didn't run a few steps when he heard Zhou Jianjun's call and stopped. Then he turned back to greet Zhao Jun and Zhou Jianjun, saying: "Big brother! Big brother-in-law!"
"Ruhai!" Seeing it was Li Ruhai, Zhou Jianjun breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "What are you doing, sneaking around?"
"I..." Li Ruhai lowered his head and looked at the clothes he was wearing. The cotton-padded jacket, forest farm work clothes and pants were almost all new, but Li Ruhai always felt shameful in what he wore.
Zhou Jianjun did not hesitate on this issue, and then asked Li Ruhai: "Ruhai, how are the arrangements for that matter?"
"Don't worry, brother-in-law." Li Ruhai said, "The students will come tomorrow morning, and the rehearsal will be over in no time."
"Ah..." Zhou Jianjun frowned slightly when he heard this and said, "You can't let your chain fall, can you?"
"No way." Li Ruhai said with a smile: "In the first month of school, we basically did nothing. We held activities every three days. We all sang those songs by heart."
"What's wrong, brother-in-law?" At this time, Zhao Jun asked curiously. The day before yesterday, when he came back from hunting, he heard that Li Ruhai had gone out to do something for Zhou Jianjun. But when he asked Li Ruhai at night, Li Ruhai didn't say what he was doing.
went.
"Ah, isn't that what it is..." Zhou Jianjun just started to speak, but he saw Li Ruhai winking at him.
Zhou Jianjun was stunned, and Zhao Jun, who saw this scene, questioned Li Ruhai on the spot, saying: "What, Ruhai? Why can't you tell me what happened?"
"What's wrong, Ruhai?" Zhou Jianjun also asked Li Ruhai. He didn't think this was something that needed to be kept secret.
"I can tell." Faced with Zhao Jun's questioning, Li Ruhai said to Zhou Jianjun: "Brother-in-law, tell him, my eldest brother is quite reliable."
"What are you talking about?" Zhao Jun twitched the corner of his mouth, roughly pulled Li Ruhai away, and said, "Yes, yes, I won't ask any more."
"Brother!" Li Ruhai shouted urgently, and Zhao Jun pulled Zhou Jianjun out.
At the same time, Class 2, Grade 2, Yong'an Middle School.
Xiao Nan, the head teacher who was in class, was called to the door by the principal to say a few words. Then Xiao Nan returned to the class and said to the students below: "Whoever I call will go to the cafeteria."
Yong'an Middle School has a cafeteria, but this cafeteria has no kitchen and is generally used as an auditorium.
Then, Xiao Nan started to call the roll one by one. She didn't call everyone, she only picked the ones who studied well. As the squad leader, Hu Lina was not only called by name, but Xiao Nan also asked her to organize discipline. Because those who went with her also
There are some students from Class 1 of Grade 2 and Class 1 of Junior High School.
Looking at the empty seat next to him, Ma Yang felt empty in his heart. When Xiao Nan turned around to write on the blackboard, Ma Yang couldn't help but raise his hand and said: "Teacher."
"Ah?" Xiao Nan didn't lift the chalk in his hand and continued to write on the blackboard without looking back: "Just go to the toilet."
By the end of the semester, all the courses for this semester have been completed and are in the review stage.
Now that some students in class were called away, Xiao Nan even stopped reviewing and wrote the knowledge points summarized this semester on the blackboard for the remaining students to copy. The students who were called away were all studying hard, etc.
When they came back, they asked the remaining students to borrow and copy them.
There were no lectures anyway, students had to go to the toilet, and Xiao Nan didn't want to embarrass them.
"No, teacher." Ma Yang said: "Hu...then what, what did they do?"
"Let's go singing." Xiao Nan pressed the last bit of chalk and wrote two more letters on the blackboard. Then, when he turned around to take the chalk from the chalk box, he said: "The forest farm will have a party tomorrow. Find us in the second and first grades of junior high school.
The students arranged several programs.”
This was Li Ruhai's trick for Zhou Jianjun. Those gentlemen in the forest farm were tone-deaf and couldn't sing well in a chorus. It was better to find some junior high school students to create a small chorus.
When he said this, Zhou Jianjun remembered that the principal of Yong'an Middle School had reported to the forest farm the day before yesterday and wanted to apply for a fund to form a drum band.
Zhou Jianjun has not submitted this report yet, just to see if these middle school students can produce a show. If the show is decent, the money can be negotiated. If the show is not good, then just forget it.
After hearing what Xiao Nan said, Ma Yang stood up, raised his arms and said, "Teacher, I want to go too."
Xiao Nan, who was about to turn around and continue writing, was startled, raised his hand and pointed at Ma Yang, saying: "Quickly stop and squint."
After saying that, Xiao Nan rolled his eyes at Ma Yang and said: "The ones I called are all good at studying. You don't know what your grades are? Just study hard and don't give me a bad score again."
First."
After being scolded by Xiao Nan, Ma Yang sat down in dismay.
Don’t blame the teacher for hurting the students’ self-esteem. Teacher Xiao has only been here for a year and a half, but her self-esteem has been hurt by students like herself.
During the first semester when she took the class, Xiao Nan was very ambitious, but she didn't expect that the first midterm exam would make Xiao Nan depressed.
The last place and the second place in the whole grade were all from her class, and Li Ruhai, who was the last place, took the place without any suspense. He was far ahead, and he just pulled down the average score of the class.
In the future final exams, the midterm and the final of the first semester of junior high school, the last one and the second one will still be in their class, and they will still be the same two.
There are two semesters in a year, and Xiao Nan gritted his teeth and endured it. But when it seemed that he couldn't hold on any longer, the two of them started working one after another this semester!
But just when Xiao Nan was once again full of hope, the last one in the whole school year appeared in their class again.
Ma Yang, although this kid's previous academic performance was not very good, he was not ranked last in the grade.
Previously, Xiao Nan and the Ma family said that the reason why Ma Yang was ranked last was because Zhang Laifa and Li Ruhai started working one after another, but in fact, Ma Yang was really not that good before.
The reason is that after Li Ruhai left, a position was vacated, and after Xiao Nan transferred Ma Yang to sit at the same table as Hu Lina, Ma Yang's performance declined slightly.
Although he didn't fall much, he didn't even go up the mountain before, so he slipped directly into the ditch and pond.
…
"Ah? When the students come tomorrow, we still have to arrange meals?" Zhao Jun asked Zhou Jianjun on the Sentai Railway train.
"That's not possible." Zhou Jianjun said, "Let them bring their lunch boxes and go to the cafeteria tomorrow to get food. Pork stewed with vermicelli and dried tofu slices stewed with potato slices. Isn't this food pretty good?"
"This food is so good." Zhao Jun nodded slightly, and at the same time thought of his brother-in-law. He thought that when that boy came tomorrow, he would not be looking for him all over the place. Unfortunately, after attending the commendation meeting tomorrow, he would have to look for those gold treasures. However,
Zhao Youcai was in the cafeteria, and when he saw Ma Yang, he would definitely not lose money to him.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The train stopped at the town. After Zhao Jun and Zhou Jianjun got off the train, they left the station and walked north.
"Brother-in-law, what are we going to do?" Zhao Jun couldn't help but ask again, but Zhou Jianjun still kept it secret and said, "Let's go, you'll know when we get there."
The two walked north for about two miles, then turned east and arrived at the station's goods yard not far away.
Zhou Jianjun took Zhao Jun to the guard to register, and handed his work permit to the guard.
Coming out of the guard room, Zhou Jianjun led Zhao Jun inside. Although he had never been there before, Zhao Jun looked at the building in front and knew that he was going to the grain depot.
Sure enough, when they arrived at the grain depot, Zhou Jianjun led Zhao Jun to the small room of the grain depot. There was a man there. Seeing Zhou Jianjun coming, the man greeted them warmly.
After being introduced by Zhou Jianjun, Zhao Jun knew that this man was named Xu Wenqi.
Xu Wenqi took Zhao Jun and Zhou Jianjun out of the goods yard and walked for more than an hour at a stretch, and they stopped after walking more than ten miles.
There is a compound in the south. Zhao Jun passed by that door in his previous life and knew that it was the Agricultural Machinery Research Institute. The locals called it the Agricultural Machinery Research Institute, but it actually did not research anything. It was just a Qingshui Yamen.
The three of them entered a halal restaurant directly, and Xu Wenqi greeted one person as soon as he entered the room.
The four people sat down at the same table and after getting to know each other, Zhao Jun realized that the person was Xu Wenliang, Xu Wenqi's uncle and brother.
The four of them drank mutton soup and ate pie. After finishing the meal, Zhou Jianjun stood up to pay the bill. Then, Xu Wenliang asked the three of them to follow them home.
Zhao Jun didn't understand what the trick was, but with outsiders around, he couldn't ask any more questions, so he followed him to Xu Wenliang's house.
Xu Wenliang works at the Agricultural Machinery Research Institute, and his home is nearby. The four of them walked there in seven or eight minutes.
After Xu Wenliang opened the door and ushered the three people into the courtyard, he did not invite anyone into the house, but took them directly into the warehouse.
Just now, I heard a "cuckoo" sound outside the barn door. When I came in, I saw that Xu Wenliang's barn was raising pigeons.
Not many people keep pigeons these days. After all, people only have enough food for a few years, right?
But Xu Wenqi was looking at the grain depot in the goods yard. Could Xu Wenliang be short of someone to feed the pigeons?
Pigeons are not afraid of people when they are mature. When people come in, they will just flutter in or step on the beams to walk in.
There is a large item standing near the door of the warehouse, but it is covered with a tarpaulin. There is pigeon droppings on the tarp, but not much. It seems that the large item was moved in not long ago.
As soon as Xu Wenqi and Xu Wenliang took off the tarpaulin, even the wealthy Zhao Jun couldn't help but widen his eyes.
