Seeing Zhao Jun, Ma Dafu, who had just had a fight with his two daughters, was slightly embarrassed. He smiled at Zhao Jun and said, "Jun, you didn't go up the mountain today?"
"No, uncle." Zhao Jun picked up what he was carrying and said with a smile: "Today is Sunday, I want to see you and my aunt at home."
"Ouch!" Ma Dafu frowned and said with a hint of complaint: "Look at you kid, what are you doing here to spend this money?"
With that said, Ma Dafu threw his hand in the direction where Zhao Jun came from and said: "Hurry back."
"That's not possible, uncle." Zhao Jun said with a smile: "I bought everything, can I still return it?"
When Zhao Jun spoke, Ma Ling winked at him, and then said to Ma Dafu without waiting for Zhao Jun's reaction: "Dad, let's go home."
"Ah, go home!" Ma Dafu called Zhao Jun to go home, but Ma Ling followed behind.
But when he arrived at Ma's house, Ma Dafu opened the door and heard Wang Cuihua's roar coming from inside: "Has that damn kid come back?"
"Cuihua." Ma Dafu stopped Wang Cuihua and said, "Make some sweet water quickly, Zhao Jun is here."
"Ah?" Wang Cuihua, who was pinching the broom in her hands, had just walked to the door. When she heard Ma Dafu's words, Wang Cuihua hurriedly threw the kang broom into the kang.
Then, Wang Cuihua came out to greet Zhao Jun and said: "Come on, Zhao Jun, is it cold? Hurry up and get on the kang!"
"Auntie." Zhao Jun bowed slightly, nodded and smiled at Wang Cuihua.
The old couple greeted Zhao Jun into the house and handed over the task of making sweet water to Ma Ling.
The so-called sweet water is sugar water.
These days, sugar is a good thing. If you bring a pound of sugar to anyone’s home, it is considered a gift.
The Ma family follows the old tradition and treats the uncle as a distinguished guest. When the uncle comes to the door, he makes a cup of sugar water, which means that the life of the girl and the uncle is sweet.
In the previous life, Zhao Jun and Ma Ling both had children, and whenever he came to visit, Ma Dafu would ask Wang Cuihua to make him sugar water.
Therefore, after returning to his hometown from the city in his previous life, Zhao Jun thought of the past and felt that he owed the old couple.
After Zhao Jun entered the house, he held a net bag in one hand and held the bottom with the other hand, and put the things on the head of the kang.
"You kid!" When Wang Cuihua saw this, she immediately frowned and said, "Why are you spending this money to come to your own home?"
"I already told him." Ma Dafu echoed at the side, saying: "I asked him to take it and retreat, but he didn't do anything he said."
"Then I can return it." Zhao Jun said with a smile: "I bought two bottles of cans for my aunt and a bottle of wine for my uncle. What will happen if I want to return it?"
"Then that's it this time, it won't happen again!" Wang Cuihua waved her hand, and then said to Zhao Jun: "I'll go up to the kang and chat with your uncle. I won't walk at noon, so I'll eat here."
Just as Zhao Jun was about to talk, he saw Ma Dafu raising his hand to Wang Cuihua and said, "Hurry up and pack out all the fish. Let's stew it for noon. After that, we'll stew some rice."
"Yeah." Wang Cuihua responded, and then said to Zhao Jun: "Zhao Jun, you chat with your uncle, and my aunt will cook for you."
As soon as Wang Cuihua finished speaking, Ma Ling came in with a glass of sugar water. Wang Cuihua raised her hand and gestured towards Zhao Jun, signaling Ma Ling to send the sugar water over.
Zhao Jun also had no eyesight. When he took the sugar water, he asked Ma Ling: "Where is our little brother? Where are you playing again?"
Zhao Jun said that our little brother was doing this because he wanted to get close. When he asked about Ma Yang, Ma Ling twitched the corner of her mouth and looked at Ma Dafu next to her.
Zhao Jun was startled, and then he heard the door outside the house open, and then his uncle's voice came in.
"Get in here!" Ma Sheng yelled, "If you mess with me again, I'll beat you up!"
"Hey!" Wang Cuihua, who was in the outer room, hurriedly stretched out her hand to stop Ma Sheng, then moved her chin to the east room and whispered: "Zhao Jun is here. Go and see your brother quickly."
After saying that, Wang Cuihua returned her hand and gave Ma Yang a pestle after being pushed in by Ma Sheng.
Hearing that Zhao Jun was coming, Ma Sheng hurriedly walked into the east room. Seeing Ma Sheng come in, Zhao Jun called his eldest brother and made a gesture to get up.
"Sit, sit." Ma Sheng held down Zhao Jun, then sat sideways on the edge of the kang next to Zhao Jun, and said with a smile: "Brother, why are you so idle today?"
"There is nothing to do today." Zhao Jun said with a smile: "Come and see my uncle and aunt."
"Then let's eat here at noon." As soon as Ma Sheng said this, Ma Dafu said next to him: "Well, I asked your mother to cook and get the crucian carp seeds to stew for you. After that, I will weigh a few.
vegetable."
As soon as Ma Dafu finished speaking, he heard Ma Yang's roar coming from the west room: "I can't! I can't!"
Hearing him yelling, Ma Dafu and Ma Sheng's expressions instantly darkened, but Zhao Jun was sitting next to them. Who were they showing their faces to?
Therefore, Ma Dafu and Ma Sheng quickly changed their faces and continued to warmly greet Zhao Jun for a drink of water.
At the same time, two muffled sounds came from the west room, and then Ma Yang stopped moving.
"Oh!" At this time, Ma Dafu sighed, put the rolled leaf cigarette into his mouth, then freed his hand to point to the door, and said to Zhao Jun: "This kid, it's not a day to worry about."
As long as the young couple is not married, Zhao Jun, the new uncle, is not considered a member of the family. When Ma Dafu does not mention Ma Yang's troubles, Zhao Jun must not ask.
But now that Ma Dafu started talking, Zhao Jun still had to ask.
"Uncle." Zhao Jun leaned forward slightly and asked Ma Dafu, "What happened to my little brother?"
"TMD!" Ma Dafu swore and said, "You're going to come last in the exam again."
"Ah?" Hearing Ma Dafu's words, Zhao Jun was very shocked. But he was just pretending. He knew that the boy Ma Yang hunted pheasants and chased rabbits all day long. A student like this must be able to pass the exam.
It's called weird.
"I said I wouldn't let him read it." Ma Dafu took a puff of his cigarette depressedly and said, "This book is not enough to embarrass him."
Ma Dafu was working in the workshop. A colleague in the workshop was chatting about his children's grades and how they were doing in the exams. When he did so, someone would definitely ask Ma Dafu, "How are your children doing in the exams?"
There is only one middle school in Yong'an Forest District, and the children of Ma Dafu's colleagues in the workshop are from the same school as Ma Yang, and some are classmates with Ma Yang. In this situation, Ma Dafu can't even tell a lie.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! But if your child is ranked last in the exam, isn't it in vain to make people laugh?
Last time Ma Yang came last in the exam, Ma Dafu asked his colleagues to make fun of him. This time he came last in the exam again, and Ma Dafu couldn't bear it anymore.
So Ma Dafu thought of a way to solve Ma Yang's study at the root, which was to drop out of school.
These days, it is normal for children to drop out of school in forested areas and rural areas. If he doesn’t study or take exams, Ma Dafu doesn’t have to be embarrassed.
"Then my little brother can't do it, right?" Zhao Jun asked, because he knew what Ma Yang was thinking. Although the boy couldn't learn anything when he went to school, Ma Yang could see his little classmate every day when he went to school.
.If I drop out of school, it will be difficult for the two of them to meet each other in the future.
"You're right." Ma Dafu looked at Zhao Jun and said, "This guy's, I told him not to let him read it, and he got anxious with me."
Hearing Ma Dafu's words, Ma Sheng also sighed. Last night, Ma Sheng's second uncle gave his family a lot of crucian carp seeds.
Sheng will be sent here.
When Ma Sheng was delivering the fish, he encountered Ma Yang being stubborn at home. After being slapped twice by Ma Dafu, the boy ran out angrily.
Then Ma Dafu and Ma Sheng went out to chase him.
Therefore, when Zhao Jun saw Ma Ling and Ma Dafu pulling him, if Ma Dafu went to chase Ma Yang, Ma Ling was afraid that Ma Dafu would be beaten by Ma Yang again in anger, so she tried to drag Ma Dafu home.
.
Zhao Jun probably figured out what was going on. At this time, he said to Ma Dafu: "Uncle, if my little brother is not allowed to go to school, what will he do?"
"Just work at home." Ma Dafu said casually: "Isn't that the case for everyone?"
These days, children in the 14th, 14th, 15th, and 16th years don't go to school. They either study with a teacher, learn a craft like carpentry, or they work at home with adults farming.
Hearing what Ma Dafu said, Zhao Jun decided to give Ma Yang a hand. Normally, let's talk, let's make trouble, and we can't be vague about business matters.
What's more, Zhao Jun has arranged work for everyone else, so how can he not help his brother-in-law?
So, he said to Ma Dafu: "Uncle, why don't you let my little brother study for another two years? After graduating from junior high school, he will work at home for a year. After that, we will find a job for him here."
By saying this, Zhao Jun made it clear that he would help Ma Yang solve work problems in the future.
If someone else had said this, Ma Dafu and Ma Sheng might not believe it, but when Zhao Jun said it, they believed it.
"Um..." Ma Dafu was a little embarrassed. At this time, Ma Ling asked Zhao Jun: "What can our little brother do on the field?"
"What I'm doing now is guarding the forest." Zhao Jun said: "But I don't want my younger brother to do this. After all, hunting animals in the mountains is a bit dangerous. My younger brother is too young and has never run across the mountains. After that, I thought about it.
Well, when the time comes, let’s find someone and ask him to arrange for the ruler to be checked. Wouldn’t that be great?”
After hearing what Zhao Jun said, Ma Ling looked at Ma Dafu.
Ma Dafu and Ma Sheng both work in the forest farm, so of course they know that the inspector is a bad guy. If Ma Yang can become an inspector, let alone anything else, at least he won't have to worry about finding a partner.
"Then let him deal with it for another two years." Ma Dafu said this, which meant he agreed with Zhao Jun's suggestion.
Ma Ling was secretly happy when she heard that Ma Yang was her biological brother after all. Zhao Jun took the initiative to help Ma Yang arrange work. Ma Ling was not only happy for Ma Yang, but she also felt that Zhao Jun valued her.
While Zhao Jun was chatting with Ma Dafu and Ma Sheng, Ma Ling got up and walked out. She wanted to go to the West Room to tell Wang Cuihua the good news. But when she arrived at the door of the West Room, Wang Cuihua opened the door and came out.
Wang Cuihua pulled Ma Ling, then stuffed five yuan into Ma Ling's hand, and then whispered in Ma Ling's ear: "Go, girl, you go to the small store and buy two boxes of canned luncheon meat, and then buy some more."
The shrimp crackers are back.”
"Hey!" Ma Ling agreed and walked out. She didn't rush to tell the good news. She arranged lunch to entertain Zhao Jun first.
But when Ma Ling went out, she found that Wang Cuihua had followed her.
"Mom, what are you doing?" Ma Ling asked. Wang Cuihua raised her hand and pointed to the warehouse and said, "Zhao Jun is here. I'll grab a few handfuls of melon seeds and give him peanuts."
Ma Ling's family has melon seeds and peanuts, which Zhao Jun bought when he took Ma Ling into the city for the first time.
"Mom!" When Ma Ling heard this, she looked at Wang Cuihua with wide eyes and said, "Why don't you keep some food for the New Year?"
Ma Ling asked this not because she was afraid of feeding Zhao Jun. But on the day she bought those things, Wang Cuihua locked them in the cabinet in the warehouse. No one could eat them until the Chinese New Year.
"Isn't Zhao Jun here?" Wang Cuihua rolled her eyes at Ma Ling and said, "Mom, this is all for you."
Wang Cuihua knew very well that her uncle was a distinguished guest, and to be kind to her was to treat her daughter well.
Ma Ling felt happy and went out to buy canned food.
Wang Cuihua not only served Zhao Jun with melon seeds and peanuts on two enamel plates, but also went to the east courtyard next door and bought a big rooster for three and a half yuan.
When Zhao Jun was a guest at Ma's house, Zhao Youcai was seeing off the guests. After sending one person out, he walked back cursing.
The man's surname was Chen, and his family was from a gangster village, the same village as Zhang Lifu. He came just now to sell yellow leaves.
And he sold a yellow leaf, then sat at Zhao's house for half an hour, smoked two cigarettes, and drank half of the teapot.
Zhao Youcai was cursing because the business was too small. He charged twenty-eight yuan for a yellow leaf, but he was allowed to stay with him for half an hour.
As soon as Zhao Youcai walked to the house, the black tiger on the right barked twice. Hearing the barking of the dog, Zhao Youcai turned around and saw Zhao Ling leading Wang Tian and Wang Xue.
When they saw an acquaintance, the hunting dogs stopped barking and waggled their tails one by one.
"Brother-in-law!" Zhao Ling greeted Zhao Youcai, but Zhao Youcai asked her, "Where is the strongman?"
"Qiangzi..." Zhao Ling hesitated for a moment, and then responded: "He... said he would go out and hunt for roe deer to see who sells roe deer. He wanted to buy two, and he would wait for that...
"
"Mom." Before Zhao Ling could finish speaking, Wang Tian said, "Isn't my dad going to stop the siege?"
As soon as Wang Tian said this, Zhao Youcai's face darkened. Zhao Ling took Wang Tian's hand and shrugged, saying: "You kid, you don't listen to others, your father went to buy a roe deer!"
After saying that, Zhao Ling smiled at Zhao Youcai and said: "Brother-in-law, he has gone to buy roe deer. If you want to buy it, let our soldiers hold him in front of you. If you need to give gifts, give them gifts."
Zhao Youcai didn't even believe what Zhao Ling said, but he couldn't be stubborn with his brother-in-law and his wife, so he just pursed his lips, turned around and walked back into the house.
Looking at Zhao Youcai's back, Zhao Ling glanced at Wang Tian sideways.
As soon as Zhao Youcai entered the house, he saw Wang Meilan, Jin Xiaomei, Lin Xue, Xu Chunyanzheng, and Xie Sun, all wearing headscarves and looking like they were about to go out.
"What are you doing?" Zhao Youcai asked, and Wang Meilan said, "Let's go to Shunzi's house to cook some leather."
The old craft of cooking leather here involves stretching the leather, fixing it on the ground, and then cooking it with plant ashes.
The Zhao family collects so many fox skins. They are all freshly killed, and they have to be cooked one by one.
And if you are so good at it, you need a place.
Lin Xiangshun's house has three and a half rooms, but one large room is vacant, which is perfect for storing cooked leather.
As soon as Wang Meilan finished speaking, Zhao Ling led the two children in.
Seeing Zhao Ling, Wang Meilan tied up her headscarf and said, "Brothers and sisters, let's leave now. You can send the child to the west courtyard. Aunt Jiang and the girl are at home."
The girl Wang Meilan mentioned was Li Tongyun. Upon hearing Wang Meilan's words, Wang Tian subconsciously broke away from Zhao Ling's hand.
This kid is very naughty, but after only a few days, Wang Tian was suppressed by Li Tongyun.
The women filed out, and as they walked, Wang Meilan said something to Zhao Youcai, "We came back late at noon, so you can prepare a meal for us at home."
Zhao Youcai opened his mouth, and just as he was about to say something, Wang Meilan walked out.
