After coming out of Xishan Village, Zhao Jun rode his motorcycle and ran home quickly. It was not advisable to stay in this village for a long time, otherwise he would be easily corrupted.
Back in Yong'an Tun, Zhao Jun was riding his motorcycle towards his home. When he turned a corner and was about to reach his home, the sound of a dog barked.
"Huh?" Zhao Jun saw a person walking in front of the east tent outside his courtyard. Judging from his figure, he should be Wang Meilan.
"Mom!" Zhao Jun stopped the car in front of Wang Meilan and asked, "What are you doing outside in this cold weather?"
"Son!" Wang Meilan stepped in front of Zhao Jun and took Zhao Jun's arm.
Zhao Jun was startled, and saw Wang Meilan glance around, and then lowered her voice and said to him: "Son, our baby has faith!"
"Ah? Is there any news again?" Zhao Jun was a little surprised that he had just left for a while and there was any news again.
"Weren't you here before your third uncle spoke?" Wang Meilan said excitedly: "We haven't lost any of our good things!"
Zhao Jun twitched the corner of his mouth, thinking that his mother was backing up, and then she started to get excited.
Wang Meilan seems not as stable as Zhao Jun and Wang Qiang, but among the three, she is the only one who has seen those things, and those things carry some beautiful memories for her.
"Son, why are you looking for me before?" Wang Meilan usually isn't a nagging person, so she might be too excited at this time.
"Mom, Mom." Zhao Jun hurriedly comforted Wang Meilan and said, "Should we stop talking? When my dad comes back, let's ask him if my eldest grandma left anything behind."
"It seems quite embarrassing." Wang Meilan shook her head and said, "What does your eldest grandma want to say to him? He can tell me."
"Yes." Zhao Jun thought that Zhao Youcai probably didn't know, because Zhao Youcai never mentioned it in his previous life, and he never made a windfall.
"You're so wicked!" Wang Meilan scolded Zhao Youcai from a distance and said, "He went out to play harp again. When can he come back?"
"Mom, why don't I go to the garrison and call him and summon him back?" Zhao Jun was also afraid that Wang Meilan was too anxious and would get angry over this matter.
"Pull him down." Wang Meilan thought for a moment, then finally shook her head and said, "If people laugh at her again, it's time for them to tell her that Zhao Youcai was out for two days, and his wife immediately went back to look for him."
Zhao Jun smiled when he heard this, slapped the roe deer on the butt, and said to Wang Meilan: "Mom, don't think about it, let's take care of this roe deer quickly."
Zhao Jun was thinking of finding something for Wang Meilan to distract her.
Wang Meilan glanced at the roe deer. The moment she looked at Wang Meilan, the roe deer's ears that could rotate 360 degrees moved back.
This is equivalent to a cat’s airplane ears, a sign of being frightened.
"Son!" Wang Meilan waved her hand to Zhao Jun, then pointed at the roe deer and said, "Hang it in the backyard."
"Hey!" Zhao Jun pushed the motorcycle into the courtyard and went straight to the backyard to untie the roe deer.
Wang Meilan helped Zhao Jun hang the roe deer upside down, then waved to Zhao Jun and said: "Son, you are no longer needed here. You can go back to the house. When you are done, let your aunt and uncle take out the pot and peeling knife."
.”
"Ah?" Zhao Jun was startled. He had never seen Wang Meilan kill a roe deer, so he pointed at the roe deer and said to Wang Meilan: "Mom, let me kill this roe deer for you."
"You don't have to." Wang Meilan stretched out her hand to grab Zhao Jun, pointed to the front of the house, and said, "You can go back to the house and chat with your third uncle."
"Ah..." Zhao Jun thought that with Wang Meilan's help, Jin Xiaomei, and Zhao Ling's help, it shouldn't be a problem to kill a roe deer.
But when he took a few steps and turned back, there was no longer Wang Meilan next to the hanging roe deer.
When Zhao Jun reached the house and pulled open the door, he happened to meet Jin Xiaomei, Zhao Ling, and Xu Chunyan coming out of the house carrying basins and knives.
"Jun, please come into the house." Jin Xiaomei left a message to Zhao Jun, took Zhao Ling, and Xu Chunyan left.
In the west room, Wang Qiang and Xing San were smoking, drinking tea and eating melon seeds on the kang.
Seeing Zhao Jun come in, Xing San said to him: "Boy, what is your mother busy with outside? Just tell her to make dumplings and nothing else."
"She's not busy." Zhao Jun saw that there was no one else in the room. In the east room, there was an old lady leading a group of children. He smiled and said to Xing San, "My mother is a little worried about those babies."
"Ah?" Xing Sanyi was startled, and then he looked at Wang Qiang and smiled at each other.
"Uh-huh! Ah..." Suddenly a donkey brayed from behind the house. The donkey seemed to be frightened. Xing San subconsciously wanted to get up and said to Zhao Jun: "Does your donkey have hair?"
"It's okay, it's okay." Wang Qiang, who had seen his sister commit the crime, stretched out his hand to stop Xing San and said, "Brother, you don't have to worry about it. Here, I'll give you this cigarette. Don't smoke the leaves all the time."
With that said, Wang Qiang took out a stone and gave it to Xing San.
"I've smoked this cigarette before."
"Just smoke." Wang Qiang struck a match and brought it to Xing San to light a cigarette for him.
At this time, Zhao Jun sat sideways next to Xing San and said: "Third uncle, have you been busy in Lengchang these two days?"
"I'm not busy, but they are quite busy."
"You're fine, just stay here for a few more days." Zhao Jun said, "We're catching hanging sheep these two days, can you help me or something?"
"Hangyang?" Xing San raised his eyebrows when he heard this and said, "Boy, that thing is not easy to fix."
"It's okay, I have an idea." After Zhao Jun finished speaking, Wang Qiang said: "Grand nephew, don't you want to go to the blacksmith's furnace and ask them to make a clip for you?"
"Let's go after lunch. I'll ask the two old men to do some work for me." Zhao Jun said with a smile: "Tomorrow when we go up the mountain, we will set up a trap first. Once the trap is clear, we will take the clip and catch the foot the day after tomorrow."
"The trail of that thing is easy to catch, but it's hard to catch." Xing San suddenly interjected and said: "It usually feeds or does whatever else. It's not far from the tree where it hangs. We just need to find it.
Just hang it on the tree."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Listening to Xing San’s words, Zhao Jun clicked his eyes and clicked his eyes. He remembered that when he was hunting the bear bully last year, he saw the tree where the sheep hung its horns.
He thought in his mind that the directions provided by Zhao Youcai were really not far from the two places where traces of hanging sheep were found last year.
Wang Qiang knew that this old man Xing San was one of his own, so he did not hide the news and said: "Brother, yesterday my brother-in-law called Yongxing specifically and said that there are three hanging sheep there."
"Really?"
"Third uncle, have you ever drank?" Zhao Jun asked Xing San casually. He was just chatting with the old man, but Xing San looked at Zhao Jun for two seconds before saying, "I have drank that."
Once, I left it at your grandma’s house to drink.”
"Ah?" Zhao Jun and Wang Qiang were both startled. Xing San raised his chin to Wang Qiang and said, "I don't have you here yet. I'll do the work for your family."
Speaking of this, Xing San sighed and said: "I didn't know what your father was doing at that time. The big sack is so heavy, it must weigh about two hundred pounds."
For those who carry the work, two hundred pounds is nothing. But Zhao Jun felt that something was wrong. Since a dedicated person could be used to carry the work, it meant that it was not just a sack, but many.
So the question is, what did my grandfather do in those days? The mountain products at that time were not valuable. If it was about grain, Xing San would not say that.
Suddenly, Xing San pulled Zhao Jun and said: "At that time, there was my second brother and a big man, his father."
"Huh?" Zhao Jun was stunned, and then realized that the big man Xing San mentioned was not Ma Lu, but Li Baoyu.
At this time, Xing San said again: "Wang Dashang is benevolent and righteous. He takes care of our food at noon. That guy only has two rice and a lot of tofu."
No matter who mentions Wang Dashang, they all say that he is a man who is generous with his wealth. Zhao Jun has never met the old man, but just by looking at his mother's style, he can imagine what kind of person the old man is.
"At that time, we carried work for him and he gave us grain."
I remember it was the beginning of spring, early May, and the bean sprouts had just grown so tall."
Xing San said, gesturing with one hand to reach up, and continued: "I was the first to go that day, and I started carrying it at around six o'clock. I carried it until noon, when I was eating rice, I continued to carry it, and carried it until two o'clock in the afternoon.
About an hour later, that guy was so tired that he vomited blood."
"Oh my god." Wang Qiang frowned and said, "Brother, you are dying."
"It's difficult at home." Xing San said: "My child is still sick, so I can do some work when I can. Then I vomited blood and continued to carry it.
Later, it was because your father refused to let me go, so he led me into your room and poured me a small cup of wine. My chest was hurting from exhaustion, but after drinking that sip of wine, I felt better."
"Xuanyang wine?" Zhao Jun asked, and Xing San nodded and said, "Yeah, then he stopped letting me do it and sent me home to raise him for a few days."
After Xing San finished speaking, there was a noise in the outer room. Jin Xiaomei and Xu Chunyan each came in with half a roe deer fan.
Half of the roe deer fan was thrown on the stove, and the other half was thrown on the side stand.
At this time, Wang Meilan came in from the outside with Zhao Ling. Zhao Ling went over to help Jin Xiaomei cut the meat. Wang Meilan walked into the west room and said to Xing San: "Brother, I don't have to rush at noon. I'll cook you some vegetables for a bite."
Let’s make dumplings later tonight.”
"Oh!"
"That's not possible." Wang Meilan smiled and said: "Brother, you are an honored guest, we must treat you well."
At this point, Wang Meilan gestured to Zhao Jun and said: "Son, please think more carefully and give your third uncle a bottle of Xifeng."
The Zhao family smoked a lot and drank a lot. Bottles of wine were kept in the house to prevent the children from knocking them, so they put them on the shelves in the barn.
High-strength white wine will not freeze no matter how cold it is, but cold white wine is not spicy and is much easier to drink. Furthermore, drinking cold wine is uncomfortable, so Wang Meilan asked Zhao Jun to bring the wine back and boil it.
Zhao Jun got up and went out to get the wine. Xing San said to Wang Qiang with emotion: "I will only be here as a return guest (qiě) in my life."
Wang Qiang smiled when he heard this, took the kettle and refilled Xing San's teapot with hot water.
Wang Meilan said it was a simple meal for lunch, but she also prepared six dishes. Although there were no big dishes, there were meat and vegetables.
While Wang Qiang and Xing San were drinking, with Zhao Jun accompanying them, a liberation vehicle parked at the Yongxing Brigade Guest House.
"Mom, you sit in the car." Jie Chen said and was about to get out of the car, but Xie Sunshi, the co-pilot, pushed the car door and said: "Where should I sit? Isn't your uncle Wang here? I
Go down and see him."
The uncle Wang mentioned by Xie Sun was Zhao Youcai. Hearing what she said, Xie Chen did not dare to stop him.
As soon as the couple got off the car, they saw the door of the guest house opened and Li Wencai came out of the room.
"Huh?" The person facing this side was the co-pilot, and what Li Wencai saw at a glance was the rich little old lady Jie Sun.
Ms. Xie Sun perfectly explained what it means to return home in rich clothes. She wore a newly made cotton-padded jacket on her upper body, new washed cloth trousers on her lower body, and new cotton-padded shoes on her feet.
In addition, she deliberately got up early today to boil water and wash her hair with shampoo. After her hair was dry, she combed her hair neatly and put on a black hairpin.
Then there was the colorful moisturizing cream that Zhao Jun and the others bought in the city. Mrs. Xie Sun applied two layers of it on her face, and her old face was shiny and shiny.
"Master Li!" Jie Chen came around from the front of the car and ran towards Li Wencai.
"Oh, Jie Chen!" Seeing Jie Chen, Li Wencai looked surprised and said, "Why are you here? Where is Zhao Jun?"
"My brother Jun didn't come." Jie Chen said with a smile: "He asked Aunt Zhao and me to come over and see you."
With that said, Jie Chen pointed back to the trunk of the car and said, "I will take down the things they brought for you."
"What are you getting for me?" Li Wencai asked casually, and then saw his minister running out of the courtyard, so he followed him.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! When passing by Jie Sun, Li Wencai couldn't help but look at her one more time.
"Huh?" Xie Sun rolled her eyes when she saw the old man peeking at her.
"What is this?" At this time, Li Wencai had arrived at the trunk. Watching Jie Chen pull down the sack, he reached out to pick it up and asked: "Whole sack."
"Meat." Jie Chen said, "Master Li, please take it slowly, it's quite heavy."
Although Li Wencai was old, he always had the strength to work. After taking down the sack, Li Wencai opened it and saw butter paper packets inside.
"What are these?" Li Wencai asked again, and Xie Chen said: "Beef, donkey meat, and horse meat."
With that said, Jie Chen picked up a butter paper bag and said to Li Wencai: "This square one is beef, that round one is donkey meat, and that long one is horse meat."
"Zhao Jun brought this to me?" Li Wencai said: "They just keep this meat to eat, what else can they get for me?"
"My military brother is thinking about you." Jie Chen smiled, glanced at the yard, and asked, "Master Li, where is my Uncle Zhao? Is he going up the mountain?"
"No." Li Wencai said: "Old Liu's family invited him to drink, and he went to the Ninth Team."
"Ah? Which old Liu family?" Jie Chen was curious. Zhao Youcai's connections here should all be people handed over by Zhao Jun. Why did an old Liu family appear here?
"Didn't he get beaten to death by that devil..." After Li Wencai briefly introduced the situation, Xie Chen said: "That's alright, Mr. Li, then we won't wait for him. There are still things in the car, give them to me
Uncle Tao, Second Uncle Tao, and Fifth Uncle Li will send them off."
"Okay, then you go." Li Wencai held the sack and watched Jie Chen and his mother get into the car, then he dragged the sack into the hospital.
More than twenty minutes later, Jie Chen came back. When he entered the house, he asked Li Wencai, "Master Li, there is no one in my Fifth Uncle Li's family."
"Ah...I forgot to tell you just now." Li Wencai stuffed the firewood into the stove pit, stood up and said: "He couldn't help but went to Lao Liu's house to help. The two families have relatives. What...the child,
You haven’t eaten, have you?”
"It's okay, we have dry food in the car." After Xie Chen finished speaking, he said, "Master Li, why don't you be so generous? I'll leave the stuff for Uncle Li Wu here, and you can help me give it to him later."
"Then you might as well stay here and eat." Li Wencai said, "At two or three o'clock, your Uncle Zhao will also be back."
"Then... I don't want to wait for him anymore." Xie Chen said, "We want to go back to Lingnan."
"If you're not in a hurry, just don't leave today." Li Wencai said, "I'll kill the pig tomorrow, and you can leave it here to eat the pig meat."
"I'm not going to eat the pig meat..." Jie Chen said halfway when Li Wencai said, "Then don't leave in a hurry. I'll cook some noodles for you and let them warm up before you leave."
"That's...that's okay." Jie Chen's car didn't have a heater, and it was very cold inside.
After seeing his minister go out, Li Wencai glanced out through the window, and then poured water into the big pot.
Not long after, Xie Sun and his minister came in from outside. Xie Sun said to Li Wencai: "Brother Li, this is causing trouble for you."
"No trouble, no trouble." Li Wencai smiled and waved his hand, saying: "Jie Chen, quickly come into the house with your mother and get on the kang."
After the three of us had a full meal of hot soup noodles and pickles, it was already past one in the afternoon.
"Jie Chen, why don't you just wait for your Uncle Zhao for a while." Li Wencai stayed as a guest and said, "He will be back in a while."
"This..." Jie Chen heard this and looked at Jie Sun, who said, "Okay, just wait for him for a while. When he comes back, I will talk to him and let him go home quickly."
Jie Chen twitched the corner of his mouth, stood up and helped Li Wencai pick up the bowl and put away the chopsticks.
After waiting until around three o'clock in the afternoon, Li Laowu drove the sledge to see Zhao Youcai back.
The sledge was very stable. When Zhao Youcai saw the Jiefang vehicle parked outside the hospital, his first reaction was that he was being deceived.
After it was confirmed that it was Jie Chen's car, Zhao Youcai felt a little nervous and said to himself: "It's broken, that little kid came over here to kill the hanging sheep!"
Just when Zhao Youcai was in confusion, Li Wen came out of the hut over there. When he saw Zhao Youcai, he shouted: "Youcai, come in quickly, Jie Chen and his mother are here."
"Ah?" Zhao Youcai was startled and asked quickly: "Uncle Li, what are they doing here?"
"It's said that the two of them are going back to Lingnan." As soon as Li Wencai said this, Zhao Youcai's eyes lit up.
