Chapter 129. The Li family has many talented children
It was almost four o'clock when Zhao Jun and Li Baoyu arrived home.
On the east and west sides of the road lined with barking dogs, a motorcycle entered the courtyard and stopped in front of Zhao's house.
Zhao Jun and Li Baoyu got off the car and trotted into the house. The road was so fast that they were frozen to the bone.
As soon as Zhao Jun entered the house, he saw Wang Meilan, Jin Xiaomei, Zhao Ling, Xu Chunyan and Jie Sun chopping stuffing.
Some of them chopped meat, some chopped onions, and some chopped radishes. Wang Meilan and Jin Xiaomei chopped minced meat, Zhao Ling, and Xu Chunyan chopped large peeled carrots, while Jie Sun chopped green onions alone.
In the stuffing, the least amount of chopped green onion is used, but chopping green onions will irritate the eyes, make them cry, and cause runny noses.
When asked to chop green onions by Mr. Jie Sun, it was not because Wang Meilan and the others were squeezing her out, but because Mr. Jie Sun had her own strength in that she was not afraid of choking when chopping green onions.
"Mom, what kind of meat is this?" Zhao Jun asked curiously.
Most people, when making dumplings, cut one pound of meat into four radishes or four sauerkraut.
But the Zhao family is not an ordinary family. They have their own rules for eating dumplings. You don’t need to put vegetarian vegetables in the meat filling, just add onions and ginger. But if you put vegetarian vegetables in, you can’t put them indiscriminately.
Only carrots can be added to mutton stuffing, and diced radish can only be added to beef stuffing.
Seeing Zhao Ling and Xu Chunyan cutting radishes, Zhao Jun concluded that what Wang Meilan and Jin Xiaomei were cutting was beef, but what he was wondering about was where the beef came from.
"Beef." Sure enough, Wang Meilan's answer confirmed Zhao Jun's guess, but Zhao Jun subconsciously asked: "Who hit him?"
Zhao Jun's first reaction was, my father is trying to make a fool of himself again!
"Who did it?" Wang Meilan rolled her eyes at Zhao Jun and said, "Your second sister-in-law bought it at the market today."
When Zhao Jun heard this, he looked at Xu Chunyan. Xu Chunyan said with a smile: "It's not that the cow died of illness. They said that the sledge broke the leg of the cow when it ran down the slope."
While Zhao Jun and the others were talking, Li Baoyu walked to the door of the west room.
"Hey, Baoyu." When Li Baoyu was about to open the door and go in, the old lady who was kneading dough called him: "Don't go into that room, my daughter is leading those children to study."
"Ah?" Li Baoyu was startled. He was also puzzled. The adults were working in the outer room, but the children were not watching TV in the east room as usual.
Moreover, in the east room at this time, only Zhao Chun, Zhao Hong, and Li Xiaoqiao, who were feeding Zhou Zhou with milk powder, were not there, so Li Baoyu wanted to go into the west room to have a look.
Hearing what the old lady said, Li Baoyu subconsciously looked at Zhao Jun.
Zhao Jun grinned and walked towards Li Baoyu curiously.
I don’t know what parents in the city are like these days, but parents in the forest area have somewhat ambivalent attitudes towards their children’s learning.
They don't care about their children's studies. One reason is that they have a lot of work and children at home, so they can't take care of them even if they want to. The other reason is that they don't have much education and can't take care of them even if they want to.
The most important thing is that there is no learning atmosphere.
In the past twenty years, there have been only two high school students in the entire Yong'an Forest District. In the eyes of the people in the forest area, those two high school students are the pride of heaven, and they feel that such people are not comparable to their own children.
Most children in the forest area just run around and play around every day, and then help the family with work.
When the boys grow up, the better ones like Zhao Jun and Li Baoyu will be given jobs by their families. The worse ones will be forced to work in the fields, go to the mountains, collect mountains, and work as coolies.
Girls are always expected to work in their parents' families and wait to get married.
But all parents still attach great importance to their children's learning. Just like Ma Dafu and Wang Cuihua, they heard that Ma Yang did not do well in the exam, and the couple became angry.
But there is no way, the couple plus Ma Ling, no one can help Ma Yang.
The children of several major shareholders of the Zhao Family Chamber of Commerce used to be raised free-range. Xiao Lingdang was good at studies, but she was junior, so Zhao Hong and Zhao Na didn't listen to what she said.
Now that someone is in charge of the children, and he is also a ruthless person, Zhao Jun and Li Baoyu are very curious about what kind of control Li Tongyun can control those children.
"You two, don't go in." Looking at Zhao Jun, Li Baoyu was a thief. Wang Qiang, who was standing at the door of the east room with a newspaper in his hand, greeted them and said, "I've learned a lot, don't disturb me."
"No, uncle." In order to watch the fun, Zhao Jun found an excuse and said, "I'll hang the gun, pocket, etc. on the wall."
With that said, Zhao Jun tentatively pushed open the door.
As soon as he opened the door, the little lynx and little black bear who had been waiting at the door for a long time reacted.
The little lynx raised its short tail and barked twice, while the little black bear stood up and hugged Zhao Jun's calf.
Zhao Jun glanced down at the two little guys, then quickly raised his head, smiled at Li Tongyun who was sitting cross-legged on the kang, and said: "Sister, I'll hang up the gun."
"Brother..." Zhao Hong shouted eagerly when he saw Zhao Jun.
"Pah!" The stick in Li Tongyun's hand fell on the kang table, and he immediately shouted to Zhao Hong: "It's time to study, please don't, brother, brother."
Zhao Hong curled her mouth and her eyes were slightly red.
Zhao Jun only glanced at it, then turned around, picked up the gun from his shoulder and hung it on the wall.
Although he is not pointing out that his sister will be successful in her studies, it is a good thing that someone is willing to supervise Zhao Hong's studies.
"Brother Zhao Jun!" At this time, Li Tongyun called Zhao Jun and said, "Come here."
"Ah?" Zhao Jun knew in his heart that this was the teacher who wanted to complain, so he casually put the gun down on the table against the wall.
Li Baoyu approached Zhao Jun one step ahead and saw two kang tables on the kang. On the east kang table, Zhao Na and Wang Tian were in a group. The two of them wrote pinyin in the notebook according to the textbook.
Wang Xue and Lin Xiaobao are a group, two kindergarten children drawing a small lynx and a small black bear.
Surrounding the kang table in the west were Zhao Hong and Li Xiaoqiao with sad faces.
Li Tongyun sat cross-legged between the two Kang tables, pointing to both sides and introducing Li Baoyu: "These two are from the upper class, the two who are painting are from the small class, and the two who are finished are from the middle class."
"Oh." Li Baoyu smiled when he heard this and said, "My sister is really well groomed."
"Bah!" As soon as Li Baoyu finished speaking, the stick in Li Tongyun's hand hit the kang mat next to Li Xiaoqiao. Then Li Tongyun stretched out his hand, twisted Li Xiaoqiao's arm and said, "How many times have I told you,
Is that how you write it?"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Li Xiaoqiao thought she was here to support her, and immediately frowned, but she heard Li Baoyu say: "Yes, sister, we old girl don't write well,
Just deal with her."
Li Xiaoqiao's face fell, and she continued writing.
Seeing Zhao Jun coming over, Li Tongyun said to him: "Brother Zhao Jun, look at what our Xiaohong wrote for this homework."
As he spoke, Li Tongyun reached out to grab Zhao Hong's homework book, but Zhao Hong tried to cover it with both hands.
Zhao Jun saw that there was something fishy about it, so he put his head over it.
Li Tongyun took the notebook and turned over the pages. Logically speaking, when Zhao Hong wrote on the current page, the rest should be blank.
But the next piece of paper has twelve lines from top to bottom, but only three and a half lines are written on it.
Turning back again, one piece of paper was half-written; on the next page, two lines were written... More than ten pages in a row, all half-written.
Zhao Jun frowned slightly and said, "How is this written?"
Li Tongyun stopped, pointed to a page with three lines and two words written on it, and said, "This is the homework her teacher left last Friday."
"Ah? Ah..." Zhao Jun was startled, but he understood immediately. In other words, his second sister had not completed her homework in the past half month.
When Zhao Jun was as old as Zhao Hong, he skipped school every day to hunt birds, and then went to the southern land to steal other people's pheasant medicine beans.
He didn't study hard when he was in school, but when he saw Zhao Hong acting like this, Zhao Jun quit on the spot.
"Hong!" Zhao Jun frowned and stared at Zhao Hong, saying, "How can you do this?"
"What's going on?" At this time, Wang Meilan came over after hearing the commotion, but she was definitely not standing up for her daughter.
"Mom, look at what my sister wrote for this homework." Zhao Jun returned Zhao Hong's homework and handed it to Wang Meilan. Wang Meilan looked at it twice, threw the homework away, and pulled Zhao Hong towards her back.
"Pa" just two slaps.
"Ah..." Zhao Hong grinned and cried. Wang Meilan slapped her again and said, "Hold it back!"
These days, the words "hold it back" are very useful for children.
Zhao Hong pouted and stopped crying instantly, but the little girl was filled with tears.
If Zhao Hong was beaten for other reasons, and Zhao Jun did not protect him, the people in the outer room would also have to stop him.
It can be seen that Zhao Hong does not do her homework well, and no one stops her.
"Daughter." Wang Meilan looked at Li Tongyun and said: "You are educated, you help us manage these children. If they don't study hard, you deal with them."
"Yeah, Aunt Zhao." Li Tongyun smiled and said, "I'll teach them well. Don't worry about the four younger ones. I'll try to make Xiaohong, Xiaoqiao and the others top three in the class next year."
Li Tongyun was not idle, mainly because Wang Meilan and the others were cooking. She didn't know how to do anything, and she didn't want to do anything. But everyone was working, and it was not good for her to just stay there, so she extended her "devil's claws" to these gangs.
child.
"Oh!" Wang Meilan's eyes suddenly lit up when she heard the cake painted by Li Tongyun, and she said in surprise: "My dear, that's great."
At this time, Jin Xiaomei also appeared at the door. She said to Li Tongyun: "Oh my god, my child. If you can teach your sister to be in the top three in the class, I will be very proud of it."
After saying that, Jin Xiaomei raised her hand and pointed at Li Baoyu and said: "The two of them are not the same group in their studies."
"Mom!" Li Baoyu interrupted Jin Xiaomei's words, and then Li Tongyun said with a surprised look on his face: "Isn't that right, auntie, didn't Ruhai say that he ranked first in the net exam in school?"
"Go to hell!" Jin Xiaomei was furious for a moment and uttered all kinds of curse words. Wang Meilan next to her slapped her before Jin Xiaomei reacted.
Jin Xiaomei curled her lips and did not comment much on Li Ruhai's studies. Instead, she said to Li Tongyun: "My child, please help me to be smarter. If she really gets the top three in the exam, the ancestral graves of your old Li family will be filled with smoke."
Already."
"Auntie, what are you talking about?" Li Tongyun asked Jin Xiaomei, "Before I went to school, I also got the first place in the exam."
What Li Tongyun didn't expect was that when she said that, Zhao Jun and others looked a little weird. When everyone heard what she said, they all thought that her number one was the same as Li Ruhai's number one.
"Daughter!" Mrs. Xie Sun suddenly appeared at the door after chopping green onions. She asked Li Tongyun: "You are so good at studying, why haven't you finished reading?"
At this time, Mrs. Xie Sun still did not give up on this seemingly excellent daughter-in-law.
Li Tongyun was startled by Mr. Xie Sun's question, and then explained: "Isn't that... supporting my dad to transfer work? He is getting farther and farther away from home..."
This argument is simply untenable. Those in technical secondary schools can live on campus. I have never heard of anyone dropping out of school because they are far from home.
Zhao Jun guessed the reason why the girl dropped out of school. Seeing that Xie Sun wanted to ask more questions, Zhao Jun quickly changed the subject and asked Wang Meilan: "Mom, Xiaochen, Ruhai and the others haven't come back yet.
?”
"Yes!" After hearing Zhao Jun's question, Wang Meilan looked up at the clock on the wall and said, "It's been a while now, I should be back."
After Wang Meilan finished speaking, she heard a dog barking outside the house. Zhao Jun raised his head and looked out the window.
It was getting dark outside and there were no lanterns yet, but Zhao Jun vaguely saw the Liberation Vehicle parked outside the courtyard.
Jie Chen trotted in, went to the east room, opened the drawer, took two candles and ran out.
After he ran out of the house, Li Ruhai walked into the house with his hands behind his back.
"Auntie!" Li Ruhai took out a folded piece of paper from the pocket of his tunic suit, handed it to Wang Meilan and said, "Ruhai has fulfilled his mission."
Wang Meilan glanced at him, opened the piece of paper and looked at it. Her eyes suddenly lit up and she said, "Ruhai, how many places have you visited in the past few days? This is it?"
"Three villages and two villages." Li Ruhai pointed to the piece of paper with a smile and said: "What can be determined now is about a thousand yellow leaves, about four hundred gray leaves, and more than sixty large ones."
Li Ruhai's words shocked everyone. The business Li Ruhai brought in during the whole afternoon was enough to consume more than half of the funds of the Zhao Family Chamber of Commerce.
When these skins are shipped to Hebei, the profit is almost 10,000 yuan.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Just when everyone was surprised, Li Ruhai looked at Zhao Jun and Li Baoyu and asked: "Brother, big brother, how are you doing today?"
Zhao Jun was stunned when he was asked. As of today, he has not done any business. That day, Xing San took him to two shacks, and Kong Fusheng did not discuss business with him. He also gave the old man a free gift.
One trip.
Deng Zhaoshan's side was settled, but when I left today, he was gone.
Seeing Zhao Jun, Li Baoyu remained silent. Li Ruhai calmly raised his left hand and waved it, saying: "Okay, brother, big brother, you don't need to say anything. As long as I, Li Ruhai, eat, you won't be hungry."
"You kid..." Li Baoyu was about to speak but was stopped by Zhao Jun. The business was all negotiated by others, so why should anyone nag you?
"Ruhai." Wang Meilan returned the piece of paper to Li Ruhai and praised: "It has to be you."
Li Ruhai could still tell the difference between the big and the small kings. After listening to Wang Meilan's words, he smiled and said: "Auntie, this is not all my fault. If you didn't back me up, wouldn't I still be making a fuss?"
"Haha." Wang Meilan smiled when she heard this and said, "Ruhai, can we consider our business to be open?"
"Oops!" Li Ruhai waved his hand and said, "Auntie, no matter where I go, men, women and children will rush to tell each other!"
Just as Li Ruhai was bragging, the big lantern at the door of the courtyard outside the house lit up.
When Jie Chen came in, Wang Meilan suddenly remembered something and asked him and Li Ruhai: "Xiaochen, Ruhai, you didn't eat at noon, right?"
"Eat it, ma'am." Li Ruhai smiled and said, "There are ten dishes."
"Ah?" Jin Xiaomei was stunned and said, "Who can be as wealthy as ours and still entertain you with ten dishes?"
"Haha..." Li Ruhai smiled, and Jie Chen answered from the side: "Go to the village called Fuqiang, there is a family who does simple things."
