A gold ring is a large gold ring, but it is not something as thin as a finger ring.
Putting a gold bar on his right index finger, Zhao Jun turned over the back of his hand and took a look, then picked up another one and put it on his middle finger.
According to legend, his grandfather Wang Dashang wore a golden thorn on each finger of his left hand.
Why wear it on the left hand instead of the right hand? Because wearing one is okay, but if you wear it on every finger, it will affect eating, writing, and wiping your butt.
According to Zhao Youcai's complaint after drinking, the old man and Wang Meilan had a habit of waving their hands from their chests outward when announcing the start of a banquet or throwing out money.
Therefore, when Wang Da slapped him and pushed him out, it was shining with golden light and his eyes were filled with blood.
Zhao Jun rolled off the gold coins from his hands and pulled five of them aside from the pile. He found out that there were forty-eight gold coins in total.
"It's done!" Zhao Jun muttered, quickly put the golden barb into the leather bag, tied it tightly, and stuffed it into the kang hole.
Then, Zhao Jun put the silver coins, small goldfish, and small gold ingots into a shoulder bag, and stuffed the shoulder bag into the kang hole.
After going outside the house, Zhao Jun untied the wooden box tied to the motorcycle, took it into the house, and placed it in the cellar directly down to the outhouse.
When building this new house, Wang Meilan made preparations for four generations living under one roof.
Wang Meilan thought that when there were more people in the future, there would be more food, and she would have to stock up on vegetables in autumn. So, after building the house, Wang Meilan asked people to dig a cellar in the yard, and also dug a cellar in the outhouse.
After placing the pine box, Zhao Jun went out of the house, locked the door, and rode away on his motorcycle.
It was almost four o'clock at this time. Although the days had been getting longer since the winter solstice, the sun still set early in the forest area and it was already getting dark.
Zhao Jun did not go home, but came out of the village to meet Zhao Youcai and Wang Qiang. The three of them came out together, so it would be unreasonable for him to go back alone.
Zhao Jun rode a motorcycle into the mountain field and ran nearly ten miles in one breath, but still failed to meet the two men.
At this time, Zhao Jun couldn't help but wonder if Zhao Youcai and Wang Qiang had changed his route? Logically speaking, they should have encountered him at this time.
Suddenly, a bright light loomed in front of him. Zhao Jun speeded up and took a look. Zhao Youcai was in front carrying a spade and pickaxe and lighting a torch. Wang Qiang followed closely behind, dragging a large bunch of things.
Zhao Jun stopped the car and asked in surprise: "Uncle, where did you get the roe deer here?"
"Your father beat me!" Wang Qiang responded, and then asked: "Nephew, have you put everything away?"
"Put it away, uncle!" Zhao Jun stopped the motorcycle, got off the car and came to Wang Qiang's side to take a look. He was even more surprised and said: "What are you doing? Are you following me?"
After listening to Zhao Jun's question, Wang Qiang did not speak. Instead, he curled his lips and raised his head, and tapped Zhao Youcai with his chin.
Zhao Jun looked over and saw his father carrying a steel gun on his back, holding a spade and pickaxe in one hand, and holding a torch in the other, looking in the direction of Yong'an Tun.
"Your father beat me." Wang Qiang whispered to Zhao Jun, "He shot three of them!"
"Ah?" Zhao Jun was shocked. Their family had a special skill of shooting two roe deer. His father Zhao Dazhu and his father Zhao Youcai were both famous for their ability to kill roe deer, but shooting three roe deer with one gun was enough to surprise Zhao Jun.
Zhao Youcai didn't speak for a long time, but he didn't speak for a long time. But after Wang Qiang told him about his achievements, he turned around and waved to Zhao Jun and said: "Tie the three roe deer to your car and send them back first."
The three people on the big motorcycle are already at their limit. If they are only carrying people, then the three roe deer will definitely have no choice. They can't hitch the car and drag it behind them, right?
And Zhao Jun transported the roe deer home first, which could also reduce Wang Qiang's burden. It can be said that if it were not for these three roe deer, Zhao Youcai and Wang Qiang would not have bothered here.
"Nothing else!" Wang Qiang disagreed and said: "My nephew bought a new big motorcycle. How much trouble will it take to carry it on its back? What...brother-in-law, you can go back on the motorcycle and I will pull it slowly myself."
How could Zhao Jun abandon Wang Qiang himself?
"Old uncle!" Zhao Jun said to Wang Qiang: "What's the difference between a new car and a new one? Let's untie these three roe deer quickly and stack them up behind me. When we're done, I'll send the roe deer back first, and then come back to pick you two up."
"Nothing else!" Wang Qiang blocked Zhao Jun's hand with his strong arm and said, "It's bloody and oily, so why don't I give you a whole car?"
"Okay, stop nagging!" Zhao Youcai pulled Wang Qiang's arm aside and said angrily: "Go back quickly, I'm already hungry!"
"Then you can leave!" Wang Qiang glared at Zhao Youcai and said, "Don't I let you leave with my eldest nephew first?"
"Who can leave you behind?" Zhao Youcai pinched Wang Qiang with his eyelids and said, "Then we go back, what can your sister do?"
"Okay, okay!" Zhao Jun went over by himself, pulled up one of the hind thighs of the middle roe deer, and untied the third roe deer from his crotch.
Seeing that Zhao Jun had freed the roe deer, Wang Qiang said nothing and came over to help Zhao Jun. At this time, Zhao Youcai put the spade and pickaxe in his arms, took out the stone forest smoke from his pocket with one hand, and lit it with a pine torch.
He handed one to Wang Qiang.
Wang Qiang glanced sideways at Zhao Youcai, took the cigarette and stuffed it in his mouth. He thought that the quarrel just now would be over, but he heard Zhao Youcai say: "I was stunned for a moment. I have been grinding all day."
"I..." Wang Qiang was startled and couldn't help but said angrily: "Did your head get damaged by kowtow?"
"Huh?" After listening to Wang Qiang's words, Zhao Jun, who had just tied a roe deer in the back seat, was stunned, looked at Zhao Youcai and asked: "Dad, who are you kowtowing to?"
Zhao Youcai: "..."
"Here you go..." Wang Qiang said these two words to Zhao Jun. Zhao Jun's eyes widened in shock, and then he heard Wang Qiang continue to say: "Carve that old sign."
"Ah..." Zhao Jun just breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Wang Qiang say to Zhao Youcai again: "My eldest nephew thought you made someone beat him to his knees."
"Get out of here, you bastard!" Zhao Youcai, who was smoking a cigarette, pushed the pickaxe in his hand and said, "I'll gouge you to death with a pickaxe!"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Wang Qiang rolled his eyes at Zhao Youcai and said nothing, but bent down to help Zhao Jun carry the roe deer.
Five minutes later, Zhao Jun rode away on his motorcycle, leaving Zhao Youcai and Wang Qiang behind.
"Here you go!" Zhao Youcai pushed the spade and pickaxe towards Wang Qiang and said, "I'll hold the fire, you carry this."
Wang Qiang twitched the corner of his mouth, reached out and took the spade and pickaxe and carried it on his body.
…
Jie Chen has not yet returned from Lingnan. In his absence, no one took the initiative to light the big lanterns.
It was almost five o'clock when Zhao Jun arrived home, and Li Baoyu came out to light the lamp.
When Li Baoyu was hanging a lantern on a pole, the dogs in the two courtyards barked in unison.
Before Li Baoyu could put down the pole, a big motorcycle rode into the yard.
At this time, Wang Meilan ran out of the house after hearing the barking of the dog. She was eager to know if there was any treasure found today.
Seeing Wang Meilan coming over, Zhao Jun nodded to his mother. Wang Meilan paused in his steps, his eyes twinkling.
Then seeing a pile of things behind the motorcycle, Wang Meilan subconsciously took two steps forward. She thought Zhao Jun had brought all the treasures back.
"Mom!" Zhao Jun took the lead and said to Wang Meilan: "Let's fight three roe deer!"
Needless to say, Zhao Youcai's shot provided a perfect excuse for the three of them to disappear all day long.
"Ah!" Wang Meilan understood what Zhao Jun meant as soon as she heard it, but she suddenly thought of Zhao Youcai and Wang Qiang, and hurriedly asked Zhao Jun: "Son, where are your dad and your uncle?"
"They are walking back slowly. I will send them back to the roe deer first, and I will pick them up right away." After Zhao Jun answered Wang Meilan's words, he turned to Li Baoyu and said, "Baoyu, hurry up and help the roe deer to complete the house."
"Hey!" Li Baoyu happily agreed. At this time, Wang Meilan called Li Baoyu and said, "Baoyu, leave one for your house. Your uncle left your house and took away a roe deer that day."
"Just take it, aunt!" Li Baoyu pinched the six hind legs of the three roe deer together with both hands, and dragged the three roe deer together toward the house. As he walked, he said: "We don't want them anymore, let's take them all."
Make dumplings and eat them!”
"This child..." Wang Meilan glanced at Li Baoyu's back. At this time, Zhao Jun leaned into her ear and said, "Mom, everything has been sent to our new house. I will get it back for you tonight."
"Yeah, yeah!" Wang Meilan nodded repeatedly, and Zhao Jun got on his motorcycle, turned around and went straight to the outside of the village to pick up the two men.
By the time the three of them came back, it was almost half past six.
After eating and drinking, the women put away the bowls and chopsticks, chopped the roe deer leg meat and stuffing. After mixing the stuffing, they put it in small helmets and aluminum lunch boxes. Each family took a portion when they left, and they made the stuffing at home tomorrow morning.
.
When Xie Chen did not come back, Zhao Jun sent the old lady Xie Chen back to Xie Chen.
After leaving the old lady's house, Zhao Jun came to his new house again. He entered the house sneakily like a thief, took out the bags and bags from the stove pit, and took out the pine box from the cellar.
Jun walked home in a hurry.
When Zhao Jun arrived home, Wang Meilan had been waiting for a long time. As soon as Zhao Jun arrived at the door, she opened the door to the outer room.
Zhao Jun turned sideways and came in with the box in his arms, being careful not to bump or touch it.
After entering the house, Zhao Jun hugged the box, carried the bag, and went straight to the west room with the bag on his arm.
After entering the house, Zhao Jun placed the box on the Kang table, then took off his shoulder bag and pulled off the water rat skin bag from his waist.
"Mom." Looking at Wang Meilan who followed, Zhao Jun greeted: "They are all here!"
At this time, the two little girls were already asleep, and Zhao Youcai, who heard the noise, also followed them.
After closing the door, the family of three hid in the west room to look at the baby.
Gold bars are placed on the Kang table, small goldfish are placed one by one, and gold ingots are placed on the edge of the Kang.
Ten silver coins were also placed in piles on the edge of the kang, and two large hat tubes were placed on the kang.
"A lot of these are my family's stuff!" Wang Meilan said a rare curse word, but then she pointed at the things on the edge of the kang objectively and said: "These things... are not all my family's."
"That's Widow Wang's family fortune." Zhao Jun agreed, picked up a hat tube, looked around it, then looked inside, and finally looked at the bottom of the hat tube.
"Ah, there are words here!" Zhao Jun was a rich man in his previous life, and he went bankrupt before he got into antiques. He curiously looked at the words under the hat tube and mumbled: "Xu Da Nian Qing"
...What light? What is this written about?"
Zhao Youcai came over to take a look, and then looked at Wang Meilan.
Wang Meilan saw the two men like this and came over to take a look. She couldn't help but twitching her lips and said, "That was made during the reign of Emperor Guangxu of the Qing Dynasty."
The six characters on the bottom of the bottle, written from left to right and top to bottom, are "Guangxu Year System of the Qing Dynasty". Zhao Jun read it as "Guangxu Year System of the Qing Dynasty" according to the current writing order, and then
He doesn't know the Chinese characters yet.
Fortunately, there is an eldest lady in the family who has invited my husband to teach me. Although Wang Meilan can't even write the word "ham sausage", she knows the words under the hat tube.
"Who is Emperor Guangxu?" Zhao Jun and Zhao Youcai asked the same question in unison. Wang Meilan asked back: "Cixi, do you know?"
"I know!" Zhao Jun and Zhao Youcai nodded in unison, and then heard Wang Meilan say: "They are a couple."
In the local dialect, the straight cards in Doudizhu are called a couplet.
"Ah!" Wang Meilan said this, and Zhao Jun and Zhao Youcai understood.
"Son, put this away!" Wang Meilan pointed to a pair of hat tubes and said to Zhao Jun: "Put it in a sack first and wrap it up, then put it in the box after that. Mom tomorrow..."
Speaking of this, Wang Meilan paused for a moment, and then said to Zhao Jun: "These two hat tubes are your eldest grandma's favorite. What am I thinking about? Aren't they the same? Your uncle and I are one in the same family.
"
"Okay." Zhao Jun said without hesitation: "Mom, you have the final say."
"What a mother's son!" Wang Meilan was very happy when her son agreed with her proposal.
Immediately afterwards, Wang Meilan looked at Zhao Youcai again.
"Why are you looking at me?" Zhao Youcai said in a very arrogant tone: "That time I took out those old things, didn't I lose them all? Didn't I give them all to your brother?"
Hearing what Zhao Youcai said, Wang Meilan suddenly became happy. She smiled and patted Zhao Youcai on the shoulder and said, "Hello, how are you?"
Zhao Youcai shrugged, and Wang Meilan's hand slipped from his shoulder, and she grabbed two large silver coins, handed them to Zhao Youcai, and said, "Well, here they are for you!"
"Go to the other side!" Zhao Youcai pulled away Wang Meilan's hand and the silver dollar and said, "Where can I spend this crap?"
"Haha...haha..." Zhao Jun and Wang Meilan laughed happily. Silver coins are indeed worthless these days. I don't know what they are like in big cities. Anyway, no one in the northeast or remote towns accepts them.
"Then let me give you this!" Wang Meilan threw the silver dollar aside, took the largest gold coin from the kang table, stuffed it into Zhao Youcai's hand, and said, "This is good! It's bigger than the one I gave you!"
The gold bar that Wang Meilan bought for Zhao Youcai weighed about seventeen grams, and this big gold bar was more than twice as big as that one, weighing nearly forty grams, like a big finger ring.
Zhao Youcai took the big gold coin in his hand and felt it was heavy when he weighed it. Seeing that Zhao Youcai didn't say anything, Wang Meilan picked up another one from the Kang table, handed it to Zhao Youcai and said, "I'll give you another one."
"I don't want it anymore." Zhao Youcai glanced at it and said, "Just wear one. If you wear too many, it will be difficult for me to make noodles."
Zhao Youcai's words made Zhao Jun and Wang Meilan laugh.
At this time, Wang Meilan's eyes fell on the little goldfish and the little gold ingots. After a slight pause, Wang Meilan said to Zhao Jun, who was sitting near the door: "Son, go under the dish rack and get the scale out for the plate!"
