Zhao Youcai ran back and forth towards his home. He felt very happy when he thought that he would be able to go up the mountain to fight a siege in a short while.
In the past, when his family's conditions were average, Zhao Youcai went to work on time every day, got off work on time, and worked extra shifts every now and then, but he didn't think anything of it.
In the past six months, especially in the past month or so, Zhao Youcai has been running to the mountains from time to time. As he runs, his heart wanders wildly.
This is no wonder Zhao Youcai, hunting in the mountains is as addictive as fishing.
Especially for men, holding a gun is better than holding a spatula; walking in the mountains and forests is better than wandering between stoves; butchering bears and hunting animals is more exciting than frying cabbage and potato chips.
Zhao Youcai, who came out of the alley, only had to turn west and walk another ten or twenty meters to his home.
When he came out of the house, he had leggings in his pocket, but no gun. He came back this time just to get the gun.
Zhao Youcai also knew that Wang Qiang and Zhao Ling were at his home, and when he came back this time, he did not intend to disturb the couple. Otherwise, if he went up the mountain to kill the bear, the bile would have to be confiscated, and he would not be able to sell it for money.
Therefore, Zhao Youcai is coming back, but he is not planning to enter the house.
How to get a gun without entering the house?
Unable to bear it, Zhao Youcai had a good brother. After breakfast, Li Dayong took away the No. 16 barrel gun hanging in his house. When Li Baoyu asked him what he was doing with the gun, Li Dayong said that Song Zhuzhu asked him to borrow the gun.
Make it a day.
The gun was indestructible, not to mention that Song Tiemin, Song Zhuzi's son, was not only Li Dayong's apprentice, but also got along well with Zhao Jun and Li Baoyu.
Li Dayong took the gun out of the house and took it apart while walking around the countryside.
The barrel-mounted gun was modified from a semi-automatic barrel and a large slot from a No. 16 shotgun.
The modified gun can be disassembled and assembled. Zhao Jun was not so comfortable at work in his previous life. He had to go to Lengchang every winter. That is to say, he brought dry food from home and went to Lengchang to live for a while.
And Zhao Jun was a restless master, so he disassembled the barrel-mounted gun into two parts, put it in the big cotton monkey's pocket, carried dry food on his back, and took the tools and went up the mountain.
Then he would usually check rulers in Lengchang, and whenever he had free time, he would go into the mountains with a gun to fight.
In this aspect, he is quite similar to Zhao Youcai.
Li Dayong dismantled the gun and put it in his arms. No one could tell that he was carrying a murder weapon.
When he arrived outside his home, Li Dayong stuffed the gun and bullet bag into the pile of firewood outside the yard. When he entered the house, he said that he had given the gun to someone else.
In fact, the gun and bullets were all reserved for Zhao Youcai. Zhao was an expert and bold man, confident that a No. 16 in his hand could kill bears and tigers.
Seeing that he was in front of his tent, the dog in the yard was howling, Zhao Youcai suddenly stopped in his steps and saw a person coming from the opposite side.
Zhao Youcai subconsciously looked forward, unable to believe his eyes for a moment.
When he was in Wang Fu's small shop, he had been sitting in front of the window smoking, watching the Jiefang vehicle disappear at the intersection, and Zhao Youcai came out of the house.
At this time, Wang Meilan quickly passed by the Li family tent and looked at Zhao Youcai, who was standing more than ten meters away. Wang Meilan gritted her teeth and clenched her fists.
At this time, Zhao Youcai finally realized that he was not dazzled.
Although he didn't know why Wang Meilan left and came back, Zhao Youcai didn't bother to think about the reason, so he turned around and left.
Not to mention that Zhao Youcai has an awkward personality, he was obviously panicking, but he felt that he was a man and he couldn't let the old woman scare him.
So he doesn't run at this time, he walks quickly.
But before he had gone far, Zhao Youcai was chased away by Wang Meilan. Wang Meilan, who caught up with him, knocked Zhao Youcai on the back with a pair of fists.
"Immoral, why don't you go to work?"
Zhao Youcai didn't say a word. Wang Meilan led Zhao Youcai towards Ma's house by pushing and shoving him all the way.
After Wang Meilan listened to Zhao Jun's words, she definitely couldn't let Zhao Youcai go up the mountain. She was worried about leaving him at home, so she took him to the streets.
"Hey, Qiangzi?" In Zhao's house, Zhao Ling, holding a rag in her hand, looked out the window and called Wang Qiang: "I just looked at my sister and passed by the door?"
When Zhao Youcai came over at first, the dogs in Zhao and Li's courtyard started barking.
After staying at Zhao's house for a long time, Zhao Ling could recognize the barking of a dog. When she heard the sound, she thought it was a familiar person, so she looked out the window in confusion.
As a result, she saw a woman who looked very much like Wang Meilan passing by in front of the courtyard gate.
"No way!" Wang Qiang, who was holding Zhou Zhou and wandering on the ground, raised his head and said, "Isn't our sister going to the city?"
The weather is nice today, the sun came out early in the morning.
Xu Changlin came out of the house with his wife. The old Mrs. Xu had been sick for a while. Doctor Han from the Tun Health Center gave her anti-inflammatory injections for a period of time, but the old lady's health was not getting better.
Rural areas are like this these days, and few people go to the city for medical treatment. If the conditions are good, anti-inflammatory injections will be given for two days, and if the conditions are not good, they will be treated with painkillers.
In fact, even twenty or thirty years later, the illness of rural elderly people will be different from that of urban residents.
As soon as you get sick, go to the city for a checkup. If it's a minor problem, treat it normally. If it's a terminal illness like a malignant tumor, just prescribe some medicine and go home.
After you get home, just pretend it doesn't matter. Eat when you need to, drink when you need to, and work when you need to work.
When it gets serious, I'll go to the city again, but I won't be hospitalized again, and I'll still prescribe some medicine and go home.
And this time when I go home, I am waiting to see the old man off for the last journey.
Therefore, even though the old couple's son was in the city, they did not bring Mrs. Xu into the city to see a doctor.
Today, old Mrs. Xu wanted to go for a walk, so Xu Changlin took his wife out.
As soon as they left the house and before they left the courtyard, they saw Zhao Youcai and Wang Meilan passing by the door of their courtyard.
I saw Zhao Youcai in front, Wang Meilan behind, and Wang Meilan hitting Zhao Youcai from time to time.
Xu Changlin raised his hand and pointed at the couple, and smiled at his wife. Old Mrs. Xu also saw that scene, she grinned with her toothless mouth and smiled without her eyes.
When Zhao Youcai and Wang Meilan disappeared by their tent, Xu Changlin smiled and said to his wife: "Look at how good a couple they are. The children are so big, but they are still having trouble."
Xu Changlin said this without any malice. He thought Zhao Youcai and Wang Meilan were having a fight.
"Haha..." Old Mrs. Xu smiled and said: "It's a good time for people, what a happy day!"
"Oh, that's not good!" Xu Changlin looked at his wife's pale face and sighed silently.
Facts have proved that sadness and joy are just different perspectives.
At this time, Wang Meilan pushed Zhao Youcai and said: "You can just talk for the rest of the day. You lie and talk nonsense. I don't know what to do. You are just afraid of being laughed at by the neighbors. Otherwise, I would have kicked you out...
…Hey, third sister-in-law!”
Wang Meilan suddenly saw an acquaintance and hurriedly raised her hand to say hello. Zhao Youcai rubbed his face and remained silent.
Not far ahead was Ma's house. Wang Meilan gave Zhao Youcai another pestle, and then said: "Don't be so arrogant, you are smiling."
It's a happy thing for everyone to go out today, and it was organized by Wang Meilan. If Zhao Youcai is licking his face, what will others think?
Zhao Youcai glanced sideways at Wang Meilan, but Wang Meilan's glare made him feel guilty and he quickly looked away.
Turning east, Wang Meilan saw the Liberation Vehicle parked outside Ma's Courtyard. Under the vehicle, there were many people standing in front of the door.
It turned out that Wang Cuihua came out. She stood at the entrance of the courtyard, and everyone in the car got down to greet her.
"My mother-in-law!" Wang Meilan shouted to Wang Cuihua.
"Mother!" Wang Cuihua habitually omitted one word, and then she saw Zhao Youcai following Wang Meilan.
"Huh?" Wang Cuihua asked in surprise: "My dear, you didn't go to work?"
When she asked this question, Li Baoyu, Li Ruhai, Jie Chen, Old Lady, Xie Sunshi, Jin Xiaomei, Xu Chunyan, Li Tongyun, and others all looked at Zhao Youcai in surprise.
Only the Zhao siblings looked at each other, and Zhao Jun and Zhao Chun both had a hint of helplessness in their eyes.
"Uncle!" Li Baoyu was the most honest person. He asked Zhao Youcai, "Aren't you going to work?"
Although the others did not speak, when they looked at Zhao Youcai, this question was all they were thinking about.
Don't you go to work?
"Well..." Zhao Youcai didn't want to answer this question, but in front of everyone, he had to lie: "I walked halfway... and when I wasn't feeling very energetic, I went to the hut. When I was done, when I came out,...
I just missed the bus."
"In-laws, how are you now?" Wang Cuihua heard this and asked hurriedly: "Can I find you two pills?"
"My mother-in-law." At this time, Wang Meilan took over the conversation and said to Wang Cuihua: "Let's get in the car and let's go for a walk in the city."
"I'm not going." Wang Cuihua waved her hand and said, "My Ma Yang has gone to someone else's house. I can't leave him alone."
After hearing what Wang Cuihua said, Wang Meilan said: "Then let's go find him?"
"What are you looking for?" Wang Cuihua shook her head and said, "My mother-in-law, please go for a walk quickly. Why should we wait until we have another chance?"
"Okay." Wang Meilan did not force her, but raised her hand to hold Ma Ling, and then said to Wang Cuihua with a smile: "My mother-in-law, if you don't go, I will pull her down, but I have to take it away for my daughter."
"Don't let her go either. It will cause too much trouble for you." Wang Cuihua said a polite word, and Wang Meilan hurriedly said: "It's not troublesome. We all have to buy wool today. Let Ling'er go, she can help us choose.
Something like that.”
"Ah, that's okay." Wang Cuihua said, took out a handkerchief bag from her pocket, stuffed it into Ma Ling's hand, and then said to Ma Ling: "My daughter, you can go with your aunt."
Ma Ling clutched the handkerchief and said yes. At this time, Wang Meilan called everyone to get in the car. After saying goodbye to Wang Cuihua, the car started and headed west.
Wang Cuihua stood outside the entrance of the courtyard and kept waving to Wang Meilan on the back of the car.
When the car turned the corner, Wang Cuihua turned around and saw her old son coming back in high spirits.
"Mom!" Ma Yang paused guiltily when he saw Wang Cuihua, and then asked, "What are you doing outside?"
"What have you been doing?" Wang Cuihua said angrily: "You came back two minutes early, did we go for a walk in the city?"
"Ah?" Ma Yang asked hurriedly: "My sister went to the city with someone again?"
Ma Yang asked Wang Cuihua, who was stunned. What is this word? It sounds so uncomfortable.
"Your Aunt Zhao, Aunt Li, and Li Ruhai's mother, they have several families." Wang Cuihua said angrily: "They all came to the city together, and they wanted to call us. If you don't come back, I can't go either!"
"Oh!" Ma Yang heard this and asked hurriedly: "Have they been gone for a long time?"
"Just left!" Wang Cuihua pointed to the west and said, "Just turned around!"
"Then let's chase them away!" Ma Yang jumped over there, but was grabbed by Wang Cuihua, who just heard Wang Cuihua say: "What are we chasing them away? We have two legs, can we chase them into the car?"
"Mom!" Ma Yang blurted out: "Don't we have four legs?"
There was nothing wrong with what the child said, but it sounded like a curse to Wang Cuihua, so she hit Ma Yang with a pestle.
