Chapter 144. Zhao Youcai was recruited into the Chamber of Commerce
It was a quick trip to Yongsheng. When Zhao Jun came back from Yongsheng, Zhao Youcai was sitting cross-legged on the kang, describing to Wang Meilan his wonderful prospects of helping at home.
Recently, Wang Meilan also felt that she was really short of manpower, so she listened patiently to Zhao Youcai's talk.
Until she heard the door open, Wang Meilan hurriedly got off the kang, grabbed the account book she had prepared, and said to Zhao Youcai: "You put my daughter to sleep."
After saying that, Wang Meilan went to the west room.
Even though Wang Meilan is popular among the people as the president, her son is always her backbone.
"Son." As soon as Wang Meilan arrived at the West Room, she handed the account book to Zhao Jun and said, "Look at today's account."
Zhao Jun hung the cotton monkey behind the door. When he reached out to take the account book, he casually asked: "How are you today, Mom?"
"We don't want to catch up on the first two days today." Wang Meilan shook her head and said, "The skins and bear bile are only a little over 10,000 in total."
"Okay, Mom." Zhao Jun smiled and said, "If we continue to charge you like that, we won't be able to borrow enough money."
Wang Meilan also smiled when she heard this. At this moment, Zhao Jun thought of something. He put down the account book and took out a cloth bag from the shoulder bag hanging on the wall.
Under Wang Meilan's gaze, Zhao Jun opened the cloth bag and revealed the pig belly inside.
Zhao Jun casually pulled over a pile of "Reference News" that Chu Anmin gave him, and then said to Wang Meilan: "Mom, put two newspapers on the table for me."
"Hey, hey!" Wang Meilan hurriedly followed the instructions, and then she saw Zhao Jun put the pig belly on the newspaper, and then used a knife to scrape the pig grit from the inside.
"Hey, son?" Wang Meilan looked at Zhao Jun's operation in surprise and asked, "Why is this pig sand like this?"
Compared with the previous two pig gizzards, the pig gizzard this time was blood red.
"This pig is extraordinary, Mom." Zhao Jun continued to scrape the pig sand and said, "This pig has lived a long life. If not ten years, it must be eight years."
"I'm telling you." Wang Meilan agreed, "That liver weighs almost fifteen pounds."
While the two women were talking, Zhao Youcai opened the door and came in.
Wang Meilan turned to look at him and asked, "Are the two girls asleep?"
"Yeah." Zhao Youcai said, "If you don't leave the house, those two girls will fall asleep in a while."
Hearing what he said, Wang Meilan rolled her eyes at him. Those two children couldn't sleep because it was all because of Zhao Youcai, who was grinding away there.
"What is this?" At this time, Zhao Youcai turned his attention to the work in Zhao Jun's hand.
Zhao Jun is scraping pig grits. On the left is a small lynx with its front paws on the table. On the right is a small black bear sitting there watching Zhao Jun's operation.
When Zhao Youcai asked, Zhao Jun, Little Lynx, and Little Black Bear all looked up at him.
"If you kill the wild boar today, you will get some pig sand." Zhao Jun responded and continued working.
Zhao Youcai also came over and watched Zhao Jun scrape the blood-red pig grit onto the newspaper.
As soon as he touched the pig belly, Zhao Jun didn't let Wang Meilan do it. He got off the kang and took the pig belly to the outhouse. When Zhao Jun came back, Zhao Youcai had already lifted the pig grit to a high place while holding the newspaper.
The pig grits that were just taken out were a bit wet and needed to be dried. Zhao Jun had a lot of children at home and two little guys who were not very knowledgeable about people, so he put the pig grits on the top of the kang cabinet.
"Mom." At this time, Zhao Jun said to Wang Meilan: "Before we leave, please help me think about it. I have sold all the pig sand I made these times."
"A wasteful thing." Zhao Jun just finished his words. Before Wang Meilan could say anything, Zhao Youcai scolded him and said: "That good thing, why are you selling it? You won't be able to buy it when you use it again.
.”
"What should I use it for?" Zhao Jun asked, and then said: "How good is it that we use oxytetracycline for anti-inflammation? Besides, we are not doctors, who would use this thing?"
When Zhao Jun said this, Zhao Youcai fell silent.
Wang Meilan rolled her eyes at Zhao Youcai, and then said to Zhao Jun: "Okay, son, I'll let you think about it. What about... we sold all the bears we killed ourselves?"
"Sell!" Zhao Jun said categorically: "Didn't my grandma Jiang give us an open one? Keep that one, it will be enough for anything in the future. When we finish hanging the bear bile in the warehouse, we will give it to him
Sold."
"That's okay, son." Wang Meilan said, "Before you leave, I'll have installed it for you the day before."
"Yeah." Zhao Jun responded, and then said to Zhao Youcai: "Dad, if I weren't at home, you would have to worry more about the family."
Zhao Jun just wanted to set the stage when he said this. But what he didn't expect was that as soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Youcai said: "Then you don't have to worry about it. I'll take care of you when you go out."
"Huh?" Zhao Jun heard something was wrong with what Zhao Youcai said. Wang Meilan smiled and said to Zhao Jun: "My son, this time your father supports us."
"Ah?" Zhao Jun was startled, but when Wang Meilan blinked at him, Zhao Jun hurriedly said, "What's going on, Mom?"
"Your dad." Wang Meilan gestured to Zhao Youcai, and then said: "I feel sorry for you and I. We are so busy. You have to help us share the burden at home."
After hearing what Wang Meilan said, Zhao Youcai raised his head in cooperation.
"Oh, that's great." Zhao Jun looked at Zhao Youcai in surprise and asked, "Dad, do you want to ask for leave from the canteen?"
"What kind of leave are you asking for?" Wang Meilan stretched out her hand to grab Zhao Jun, and then said: "Your father and that... who director in the field?"
"Chief Yan, the guard." Zhao Youcai answered. Wang Meilan nodded repeatedly and continued to say to Zhao Jun: "Your father has already agreed with him that the quota of forest guards in his hand will be given to your father. After that, your father will
You can help us at home."
"Oops!" Hearing this, Zhao Jun looked at Zhao Youcai in surprise and asked, "Dad, can you stay at home for a long time? My old uncle has been working at home these past few days, and he is very annoyed."
"Why not?" Wang Meilan answered for Zhao Youcai before he could, and imitated what Zhao Youcai said before, and said to Zhao Jun: "Your uncle is uncertain, how can he drive away your father?"
When Zhao Jun heard this, he pursed his lips to prevent himself from laughing. He had discussed with Wang Qiang before asking Zhao Youcai to go home to help. But before he could implement it, Zhao Youcai came to the door himself.
This is like a mountaineer who wants to go up the mountain to trap a roe deer. The wire harness is not ready yet, so the silly roe deer comes home by itself.
"Your dad is so experienced." At this time, Wang Meilan was still wearing a high hat on Zhao Youcai and said: "Is it a piece of skin or a bear's courage? He can recognize it at a glance. After that, your dad also said that he would be at home.
Someone who can make food for us."
"Oh!" Upon hearing this, Zhao Jun looked at Zhao Youcai in surprise and said, "Dad, that's great. I didn't even eat enough of the two dishes you cooked at night."
"Really?" Zhao Youcai didn't have a chance to answer at all. As soon as Zhao Jun finished speaking, Wang Meilan echoed: "Your old sister just burped while lying on the bed. It's been a long time. That child belongs tonight."
It’s the most food on the table.”
"Yes, yes." Zhao Jun said: "Mom, look, just the few vegetables you fried, aren't they all left? After that, look at my dad frying the pig heart, even the peppers are eaten."
"It's not that good..." Wang Meilan just started to speak, but Zhao Jun snatched the words away and said: "Mom, my dad is going to be at home, let's not say anything else. Our two sisters are just growing up, so the food needs to be based on
Keep up, that’s fine!”
"Did you hear that?" Wang Meilan knocked the back of her hand on the dizzy Zhao Youcai's shoulder and said, "I'm referring to you at home."
"Ah..." Zhao Youcai said in a daze: "Then...that's no problem."
"It's no problem." Wang Meilan smiled and asked Zhao Jun: "Son, are you going to chase that blind bear tomorrow?"
"Then I have to get rid of you." Zhao Jun sighed and said: "But tomorrow, I will let my uncle go to the next level. I am still inexperienced."
"That's not what happened today." Wang Meilan instantly understood what Zhao Jun meant, and helped explain: "If you want to sell bear bile, I can't leave home. What does he know? This is what I'll give you.
Is it left behind by my uncle?"
"Yeah." Zhao Jun said, "My uncle is a little out of his mind."
"Look, either your dad says he's uneasy." Wang Meilan said, "This is a special situation, and he still has to leave. If he has to go up the mountain before he has nothing to do, can I still not let him go?
"
As soon as Wang Meilan said these words, Zhao Youcai's little eyes suddenly lit up.
…
Early the next morning, Zhao Youcai got up at around five o'clock. He took a small basin to the tofu shop and exchanged it for soybean curd.
After returning from the tofu shop, Zhao Youcai stewed the tofu.
Zhao Jun and Wang Meilan came out of the east and west rooms at the same time. Wang Meilan said apologetically: "Oh, I got up late today."
"It's okay, it's okay." Zhao Youcai smiled and said, "I saw you were sleeping soundly, so I didn't call you."
"Mom, look at my dad." Zhao Jun smiled and said to Wang Meilan: "Get into the role early and start cooking for us."
"Haha..." The three members of the family laughed together. Zhao Youcai waved his hands with a smile and said, "You two, go wash your faces. I've filled the thermos with all the hot water."
"Hey!" Wang Meilan responded happily, and then said to Zhao Jun: "We have been married for more than 20 years, and this is the first time your mother has enjoyed this treatment."
After the food was out of the pot, Zhao Youcai added water to the big pot, and poured the potatoes and melons that had been washed and cut into pieces into the pot.
Then, the family of three sat on the kang and ate, talking and laughing.
Mix the stewed potatoes with tofu into the rice, add some chili pickles, and Zhao Jun slurps down two bowls of rice.
This is Zhao Jun's normal appetite, but Wang Meilan still praises Zhao for his wealth.
"Look, my son's food tastes delicious." Wang Meilan smiled and said to Zhao Youcai, "It's your cooking that tastes better."
Zhao Youcai laughed, and at this moment Zhao Jun put down his chopsticks, and while preparing to get off the kang, he said to Zhao Youcai: "Dad, you eat while I go out to feed the dog."
"Don't, don't." Zhao Youcai hurriedly stopped Zhao Jun and said, "Son, you have to take a rest after eating. After you finish cleaning up, it's time to go. Dad, finish this bite and I'll go out and feed the dog."
After saying that, Zhao Youcai picked up the bowl and put vegetables and rice into his mouth.
Zhao Jun and Wang Meilan looked at each other, and they lowered their heads in unison.
"Lan Na, you clean up." Zhao Youcai put down his job, left a message to Wang Meilan, got off the kang and walked to the outhouse.
Putting the dog food in a big basin, Zhao Youcai hugged the basin and left the house.
Zhao Jun, who was lying on the kang, stood up, glanced out the window, and then said to Wang Meilan: "Mom, Xiaofei is here to give you money today. When you're done, you can let them have a meal."
"Son, don't worry about this." Wang Meilan said: "There is no one else at home, and there is a big goose."
"Well, yes." Zhao Jun was afraid that Wang Meilan would say, "There is no one else at home, and there is a donkey."
"Mom, you can check everything if you need to in person. Don't be embarrassed." Zhao Jun told Wang Meilan, "This is the money we borrowed from their brigade, it doesn't involve individuals."
"Yeah, Mom knows."
While the two mothers were discussing things, Zhao Youcai was feeding the dog outside the house. A spoonful of dog food was put in the basin, and Qinglong lowered his head to lick it. Zhao Youcai touched the back of Qinglong's head with one hand and said with a smile: "Eat, eat, you will be here again in a while."
You can go up the mountain with me."
Speaking of this and thinking of this, Zhao Youcai couldn't help laughing.
"Woof!" Suddenly, Qinglong raised his head and shouted, startling Zhao Youcai.
"Ouch, ouch, ouch..."
"Woof woof woof..."
It's not that Qinglong wants to bite Zhao Youcai, but that there's a new life coming, and the dogs in the yard are barking outside.
Zhao Youcai looked outside the courtyard and saw an old cow appearing at the entrance of the courtyard.
Zhao Youcai was startled when he saw the ox pulling a sledge behind him. The person driving the sledge was none other than his good brother Zhang Lifu.
"Second brother, look after the dog for me." Zhang Lifu stopped the sledge and shouted at Zhao Youcai.
"Stop barking!" Zhao Youcai scolded the dog, and then strode out of the courtyard.
"Lao Liu, have you eaten?" Zhao Youcai asked, Zhang Lifu said: "I came here after eating, second brother."
"Give it to the old cow..." Zhao Youcai subconsciously wanted Zhang Lifu to tie the cow to the stake at the door, but before he could finish his words, he remembered something bad.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! So, Zhao Youcai waved his hand to Zhang Lifu, pointed to the big tree on the opposite side of the road, and said: "Tie it over there. When we are done, we two brothers will go to the house."
"I'm not going into the house, second brother." Zhang Lifu held the reins in one hand and waved the whip in the other, refusing: "I'll tell you something, and I'll leave after I finish speaking."
As soon as Zhang Lifu finished speaking, the door of Zhao's house opened. Zhao Jun came out of the house and shouted at the courtyard door: "Dad, come into the house with Uncle Zhang."
"Jun, I'm not going in." Zhang Lifu shouted, "Come here and I'll say a few words to you."
Despite his loose tongue, he talks quite fast. At this time, Zhao Youcai couldn't stop him.
After he finished shouting, Zhang Lifu looked at Zhao Youcai and asked, "What's wrong, second brother?"
Zhao Youcai twitched the corner of his mouth and only raised his eyelids at Zhang Lifu, but said nothing.
"Uncle Zhang." Zhao Jun came to Zhang Lifu and asked, "What's going on? Why don't you go into the house?"
Seeing Zhang Lifu coming from the window, Zhao Jun guessed that he probably wanted to tell him the news about the mountain animals.
Sure enough, Zhang Lifu said: "Jun, that old ghost in our village let a blind man pick it up in the shack."
"Ah?" Zhao Jun heard this and immediately thought of the deaths of Deng Zhaoshan and Qin Dajiang.
So, Zhao Jun hurriedly asked: "Uncle Zhang, where is his shack?"
"Under the fork on the way from 112 to 109." As soon as Zhang Lifu said this, Zhao Jun's face changed and he said, "Didn't the ranger tell him that no one can live in the shack over there?"
On the day he found out that Deng Zhaoshan was dead, Zhao Jun told Liu Jinyong on the mountain. He asked him to give a message to the team leader of the forest ranger, asking the rangers to join forces to notify nearby Lengchang and shacks to warn everyone to be careful of bear attacks.
Especially those who live in shacks, it is best to go home and hide for a few days. As for Qin Dajiang, there was no time to notify him. But it has been two days, so old ghost Bai should have received the letter.
"It seems that there is." Zhang Lifu said: "The two of them didn't take it seriously, plus there were two condoms that didn't slip away..."
Zhao Jun understood as soon as he heard that the gangsters were in trouble at home and would rather give up their lives than their wealth. In addition, people have a lucky mentality and think that bad luck will not happen to them.
"How are the two injured?" Zhao Youcai asked this question. From Zhang Lifu's words, he analyzed that one of the two old men must be fine. Otherwise, the blind man took out the shack last night, so what happened this morning?
Just spread the news?
"Old Ghost Bai's arm was bitten off." Zhang Lifu said: "His son is fine. He left it to his father overnight. There was a quarrel in the village just now, and everyone went over to take a look."
"Uncle Zhang." Zhao Jun asked Zhang Lifu, "Can you find his shack?"
"Yes." Zhang Lifu said, and Zhao Jun asked again: "Do you have anything to do today?"
"It's nothing." Zhang Lifu asked, "Jun, shall I go with you?"
"Uncle Zhang, go home and deliver the sledge." Zhao Jun said, "When you're done, just wait at home until I pick you up."
"Okay." Zhang Lifu tugged on the reins and said to Zhao Youcai: "Then I'm leaving, second brother."
Zhao Youcai twitched the corner of his mouth, but saw Zhao Jun turn around and run into the house. Zhao Youcai followed quickly with the dog food bowl in his arms.
"Son!" Zhao Youcai stopped Zhao Jun and said, "Dad, are you going with you?"
"Dad, hurry up and feed the dog." Zhao Jun's words made Zhao Youcai stop abruptly.
Just as he was staring at Zhao Jun with his small eyes, he heard Zhao Jun say again: "Hurry up to work today and take care of your work matters. After that, let's talk about it later. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future."
"Hey, okay, son, dad knows." Hearing what Zhao Jun said, Zhao Youcai smiled on his face.
