It has been some time since Huang Gui returned home, and Zhao Jun would think of him from time to time. During dinner two days ago, everyone even mentioned him in conversation.
Unexpectedly, after a few days apart, news came that Huang Gui was injured.
Like Zhou Chengguo, Huang Gui was Zhao Jun's lifelong friend. Zhao Jun really saved them and helped them, and they also treated Zhao Jun sincerely.
After learning that Huang Gui was injured, Zhao Jun couldn't help but miss him a little.
"Sister-in-law!" Zhao Jun asked Xu Haifen, "Listen to my mother, how is the injury of the man named Huang?"
"It seems that I hurt my leg." Xu Haifen said, "I just listened to your mother's mumbling, and I didn't ask too much about it."
Speaking of this, Xu Haifen paused for a moment, and then asked Zhao Jun: "What's wrong, brother? You have a very good relationship with them? If it's normal, we can't go if we can."
Xu Haifen is doing it for Zhao Jun's good. After all, hunting tigers and bears is risky.
"I'll go back and ask." Zhao Jun said, shaking his head slightly and saying: "It's not going to work, I still have to go there."
Hearing what Zhao Jun said, Xu Haifen stopped trying to persuade him. After all, Zhao Jun had Zhao Jun's friends, so she was not qualified to interfere too much.
"Hey?" At this moment, Zhou Chengguo called Zhao Jun and said, "The surname is Huang from Lingnan? Is it that Mr. Huang?"
"Yes!" Zhao Jun nodded and then asked: "Brother, do you know him?"
"We have met before." Zhou Chengguo pointed out with his hand and said, "Is he related to that... Jiang Ming from our village? He came here all day long. I bumped into him a few times when I went up the mountain, tsk!"
With that said, Zhou Chengguo lowered his voice and asked Zhao Jun: "The handle of his gun is not that hard. Who would ask him to hunt tigers?"
"This..." Zhao Jun smiled bitterly when he heard this, and said: "Brother, what you said, I feel... he is a little stronger than me."
Zhao Jun was speaking modestly. His marksmanship was slightly better than that of Huang Gui, and Wang Qiang was a little better than him. But the three of them were not much different. If there was a real competition, the state at that time would be the decisive factor.
"Ah, haha." Zhou Chengguo chuckled and said, "Brother, don't be afraid if you want to go there. I can't stand on the ground, so I can't go with you. Just let me, Uncle Zhao, lead you."
Zhou Chengguo recognized Zhao Youcai's marksmanship, and the marksmanship of the two of them was a level higher than that of Zhao Jun, Wang Qiang, and Huang Gui.
Hearing Zhou Chengguo's words, Zhao Jun asked Zhou Chengguo unconvincedly, "Brother, should I go with my uncle?"
Zhou Chengguo smiled when he heard this and said: "Brother, the big paw comes and goes in a gust of wind. Hitting it is different from hitting the others. You have to save two to measure it in advance."
"Huh?" When Zhao Jun heard that Zhou Chengguo was going to teach him his experience, he quickly moved his butt forward and asked, "Why don't we measure it in advance, brother?"
"If you leave one eye open, you must have one in your heart." Zhou Chengguo said: "If you leave your eyes bare, you won't be able to hit him."
"Brother." Zhao Jun asked again: "I know the eyes, but what's going on in the heart?"
When Zhao Youcai shot off the tiger's ear and cut off the tiger's tail with one shot, Zhao Jun was not there. Afterwards, Li Baoyu described Zhao Youcai's shooting skills as miraculous.
When asked by Zhao Jun, Zhou Chengguo clicked his eyes twice and said, "You ask me this, I really don't know what to tell you."
Zhou Chengguo's marksmanship was great, but his ability to express himself was limited after all. He thought for a while and then said to Zhao Jun: "Brother, you have to measure this for yourself. Once you're done, you'll know it in your mind."
As he spoke, Zhou Chengguo pointed at Zhao Jun's hand and said, "I've seen you shoot, and you're much better than Jiang Ming and the others. You can keep up with your eyes when shooting, but you can't keep up with... your feeling."
Hearing what Zhou Chengguo said, Zhao Jun was silent for a moment, and then asked Zhou Chengguo: "Brother, if I want to go this time, I will use this big paw to measure and measure."
"Then you need to be surrounded by solid people." Zhou Chengguo said: "Look, if you let me, Uncle Zhao, lead you, he is willing to go."
"Okay, brother." Zhao Jun felt a little moved and nodded: "I'll go back and think about it, think about it."
Cars were not popular these days, and men all loved guns. Zhao Jun started shooting and started a discussion with Zhou Chengguo.
The two chatted for more than an hour. Following the aroma from the outer room, they entered the inner room and Xu Haifen, who was cooking the pot, greeted them to dinner.
"Brother, you eat first." Xu Haifen put a small basin on the Kang table and called to Zhao Jun: "Sister-in-law will fry you two more vegetables."
In Situn, Yong'an, except for the Zhao family, every other family has one pot. If the family wants to entertain guests or stew a lot of big dishes, ask neighbors for help.
Zhao Jun was the only guest in the Zhou family today, and he couldn't even borrow the neighbor's pot. The stewed chicken and rice were cooked in one pot, and then Xu Haifen went to stir-fry.
"Sister-in-law, don't bother me." Zhao Jun said, "As long as you have chicks!"
"Eat slowly, brother!" Xu Haifen didn't listen to Zhao Jun and went out to cook in the outhouse.
"Brother, let her do the work." Zhou Chengguo handed the chopsticks to Zhao Jun and said, "I've wanted you to come for a long time. It's hard for you to come here. If your sister-in-law is willing to do it, let her do it."
"We can't eat, why should my sister-in-law do that?" Zhao Jun took the chopsticks, then without any courtesy, picked up the rice spoon and served himself a bowl of rice.
"Eat more, brother." Zhou Chengguo used his unused chopsticks to put two pieces of chicken into Zhao Jun's bowl and said, "Try your sister-in-law's stewed chicken."
"Hey!" Zhao Jun responded, and Zhou Chengguo picked up the small porcelain spoon on the table, put it next to Zhao Jun's bowl and said, "If you want to eat, put some soup in the rice."
Chicken soup with rice, the gods will never change it.
Xu Haifen stewed chicken, mushrooms, dried potatoes, and no side dishes, it was just dry stew.
The chicken soup stewed in this way does not have the smell of dried vegetables, and the soaked rice is the most fragrant.
Zhao Jun ate three bowls of rice in a row. When he put down his bowl and chopsticks, there was a pile of chicken bones piled next to the bowl.
"Brother, have you eaten?" Xu Haifen pointed to the basin of rice and said to Zhao Jun, "You must be full!"
Zhao Jun raised his hand and waved to Xu Haifen twice. He had eaten enough today. There were many people eating in their family, and they usually had to put some mushrooms and other side dishes in the stewed chicken. He had already eaten such fragrant chicken soup rice.
Haven't had it for a long time.
"Don't leave in a hurry when you're full." Zhou Chengguo stayed as a guest, and then said to Xu Haifen, "Go and make some tea for your brother."
Xu Haifen stood up and left, while Zhou Chengguo pointed out the window and asked Zhao Jun: "Brother, I heard from your sister-in-law that Jianjun bought you a motorcycle?"
"Yeah." Zhao Jun smiled and said, "Today he had to drag me down the mountain, and he didn't tell me what to do after that."
"Ah..." Zhou Chengguo nodded repeatedly. What he was thinking was that if Zhou Jianjun bought Zhao Jun a motorcycle, then his family would not buy a TV for Zhao Jun.
Zhao Jun stayed at Zhou's house until half past seven, then got up and left.
Although riding a motorcycle was cold, it was really fast. Zhao Jun was riding fast and arrived home in ten minutes.
When he got home, the diners at home had not dispersed. When they saw Zhao Jun coming back on his motorcycle, everyone came out. Li Baoyu and Jie Chen even took turns riding on the motorcycle. If it hadn't been too late today, they would have had to give up.
Zhao Jun taught them how to ride motorcycles.
"Son, how can you let your brother-in-law spend such money?" Wang Meilan complained to Zhao Jun: "If you like it, why don't you give me the money to buy it?"
"Mom, I don't know either!" Zhao Jun said: "As soon as I arrived at work today, my brother-in-law asked me to go into the city with him, saying that something happened. After that, I asked him what happened, but he still didn't tell me."
"This child..." After hearing what Zhao Jun said, Wang Meilan knew that her son-in-law had his intentions in mind, and she also accepted his intentions.
When everyone returned to the house, Wang Meilan said to Zhao Jun again: "Son, your sister-in-law Zhou is here today and bought us cans and other things."
Wang Meilan didn't know that Zhao Jun was eating at Zhou Chengguo tonight. She thought that Zhao Jun would eat directly at Zhou Jianjun's house after buying the motorcycle.
Hearing Wang Meilan's words, Zhao Jun sighed. When he was at Zhou's house before, Xu Haifen only said that she came to Zhao Jun's house, but did not say that she was shopping.
"Mom!" Zhao Jun called Wang Meilan and said, "Think of something for me. Before the Chinese New Year, I will give Brother Zhou a roe deer and chop half of the pig."
Any friendship must be mutual to last long.
Zhao Jun saved Zhou Chengguo's life, but Zhou Chengguo gave him a hanging gun. And since then, no matter what happened to Zhao Jun, as long as he said hello, Zhou Chengguo never said a word.
A while ago, Zhao Youcai bought Zhou Chengguo's semi-automatic, and Zhou Chengguo gave him a much cheaper price. And if it hadn't been for the semi-automatic, Zhao Youcai wouldn't have been able to get a whole leopard skin.
"Okay, Mom will remember it." Wang Meilan responded, then pointed back at Liu Lanying and said to Zhao Jun: "Son, your sister-in-law has to leave tomorrow."
"Ah?" Zhao Jun was stunned, looked at Liu Lanying in surprise and asked, "Sister-in-law Jie, what are you doing?"
"Going home, brother." Liu Lanying said with a wry smile: "It's almost the Gregorian New Year, and your eldest nephew will be on vacation soon. When this child comes home from vacation, there is no one at home, so what should we do?"
"Then how are you going to leave tomorrow?" After hearing what Liu Lanying said, Zhao Jun couldn't stay any longer and immediately asked: "Shall we take the Mosika?"
"Let Xiaochen give him a ride." Wang Meilan continued: "She has been out for such a long time, and there is nothing to eat at home. What will the child eat when he comes back? Sticky bean buns, frozen tofu, etc., let Xiaochen put them in the car.
Send it back."
"That's okay!" Zhao Jun nodded when he heard this, and then hurriedly asked about Huang Gui, and said to Wang Meilan: "Mom, I heard what Mrs. Zhou said, what happened to my brother Huang?"
"Oh my God!" Wang Meilan said: "Son, as soon as you left home this morning, your Uncle Zhao came to call me. I went to the Tunbu department to answer the phone, and it was Jiang Weifeng on the other end. He said that Huang Guirang's big paw pounced.
, I was scared after hearing that.”
"What's wrong, Mom?" Zhao Jun asked: "How can I hurt Brother Huang?"
"It's said that the big claws scratched off two fingers." Wang Meilan counted and said: "The big claws scratched the back for a while, the buttocks for a while, and the thighs were bitten through."
"Did he go with Big Claw Hulu?" Zhao Jun asked with a frown. Wang Meilan shook her head and said: "He didn't tell me specifically, he just said he wanted you to go. After that, I said you might not be able to go since you're at work.
"
When Wang Meilan heard that Huang Gui asked Tiger to deal with it like that, she didn't want Zhao Jun to go.
Wang Meilan didn't care at all what bonus the brigade offered. When she wanted to avenge her family dog, Wang Meilan thought of the bonus to recruit Xiang Yong.
"Tsk!" After listening to Wang Meilan's description, Zhao Jun knew that Huang Gui was not in danger of his life, and his heart was relieved.
After the diners dispersed and Zhao Jun was sitting on the edge of the Kang in the west room washing his feet, Wang Meilan came over and said to Zhao Jun: "Son, Mom doesn't want you to greet that big paw."
When Jiang Weifeng called, he not only invited Zhao Jun, but also Zhao Youcai.
"Alas!" Zhao Jun sighed and said to Wang Meilan: "Mom, let's put this matter aside for now. Tomorrow, with my uncle and my third uncle, we will go up the mountain first."
Regardless of whether he goes to hunt tigers or not, he will definitely not be able to go tomorrow. One is that there will be a meeting tomorrow, and Zhao Jun has to go on stage to receive the award. The other is that he has made an appointment with Wang Qiang and Xing San to go to the restaurant opposite Widow Wang’s door tomorrow.
The old man is looking for treasure.
This is a top priority. Since Huang Gui's life is not in danger, Zhao Jun has to focus on his own family's business.
Hearing what Zhao Jun said, Wang Meilan smiled on her face. She was afraid that when the minister sent Liu Lanying home tomorrow, Zhao Jun would directly follow him to Lingnan. At this time, Zhao Jun put down his words, and Wang Meilan was relieved.
After returning from the west room, Wang Meilan returned to the east room, where the two little girls had fallen asleep.
At this time, Zhao Youcai was sitting on the edge of the Kang, and he greeted Wang Meilan with a smile: "Lan Na, wash your feet. I've prepared the water for you."
Wang Meilan twitched the corner of her mouth, gave Zhao Youcai a rollicking look, and went over to sit on the edge of the kang, taking off her socks and washing his feet.
"Lan Na." At this time, Zhao Youcai took the foot rag next to him and handed it to Wang Meilan.
Originally, the rag was at hand, something that Wang Meilan could reach with her hand. Isn't this unnecessary?
Wang Meilan grabbed the rag and said, "You don't have to talk to me about this useless thing. If your son doesn't go, you can't go."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Ah?" Zhao Youcai was stunned and said, "What do you mean?"
"If my son wants to go to Lingnan, you should follow him." Wang Meilan said, "If my son says he doesn't want to go, if you dare to go secretly by yourself, don't come back."
"Then will he go?" Zhao Youcai asked. Wang Meilan glanced at him sideways and said, "No."
Zhao Youcai: "..."
…
The next day, December 31, 1987, the last day of 1987.
After Wang Meilan got up, she first put the dog food in, and after scooping the dog food out of the pot, Wang Meilan cleaned the pot and cooked the porridge.
When cooking porridge, wash eight skinned eggs and put them in it, and then put the steamed buns on top.
The big steamed buns stuffed with beef and radish were made when Zhao Weipeng was here. The leftover steamed buns are placed outside to freeze. If you want to eat them the next morning, take them back the night before and put them in the house overnight.
Just eat it.
"Son, you eat more!" Wang Meilan took out two eggs for Zhao Jun and said, "You're full!"
"Well, well!" Zhao Jun responded vaguely twice while chewing food, and then heard Wang Meilan ask: "Son, can I use my mother to come with you?"
"No, Mom." Zhao Jun hurriedly stopped her and said, "You can go and stay at home, the three of us are enough."
As he spoke, Zhao Jun pointed his chopsticks out the window and said, "Mom, after dinner, go to the barn and find me another chain for the dog."
"What, you still take the dog?" Zhao Youcai interrupted at the side, Zhao Jun shook his head and said: "If you don't take the dog, I'll ride the motorcycle and tie the motorcycle to a tree when it's done."
"You ride a motorcycle? Don't you take the commuter bus?" Zhao Youcai asked again, and Zhao Jun said: "No, I'll ride a motorcycle up there. After the meeting is over, I'll leave on my motorcycle."
Zhao Youcai wanted to ask something else, but Wang Meilan stopped him and said, "Okay, don't just sit there and mow around. I know what my son is doing."
Zhao Youcai glared at Wang Meilan, picked up the bowl angrily, and pulled the porridge in the bowl into his mouth.
The five members of the Zhao family each had an egg. Zhao Jun got an extra egg, and the remaining two were carried by Zhao Jun in his pocket. He went out and rode a motorcycle straight to Ma's house.
Today is not only a day for treasure hunting, but also Ma Ling's birthday.
