Wang Meilan looked at Zhao Youcai, put her hands into the left and right pockets of her cotton-padded jacket, and took out all the money she had prepared to give to Li Tongyun and Li Ruhai.
"Yes." Wang Meilan threw the money beside Zhao Youcai's pillow and said, "I've given these to you."
Zhao Youcai pulled it, looked up at Wang Meilan, and said, "Who are you criticizing?"
"What are you talking about?" Wang Meilan looked at Zhao Youcai with a bad look, and Zhao Youcai said: "I'm leaving my work unit with more than 100 yuan a month, so why don't you just give me these two dollars?"
"Then I didn't delay the work unit from giving you money." Wang Meilan picked up the seventy yuan that Zhao Youcai disliked and said, "The work unit will give you one, and your family will give you another, how nice is that?"
As she said that, Wang Meilan unfolded the folded fold and continued: "Besides, this is half a month. For the remaining half month, I will give you another 70 yuan. Isn't this more than what the employer gives you?
?”
When Zhao Youcai heard this, he clicked his eyes and asked, "How much do you pay Ruhai?"
"I gave the child fifty yuan, but the child didn't ask for it." Wang Meilan said this, and Zhao Youcai asked in surprise: "Why didn't he ask for it?"
Hearing Zhao Youcai's question, Wang Meilan smiled and said, "My kid said, he doesn't do it to make money."
Zhao Youcai twitched the corner of his mouth and asked again: "What about the girl from Lao Liu's family?"
"I gave my daughter 20 yuan, but she didn't ask for it." Wang Meilan said, rolling her eyes at Zhao Youcai and saying, "My daughter said, we are all a family, so what more money do we need."
After saying this, Wang Meilan held seven big unity sheets and said to Zhao Youcai, who was squinting his eyes: "Dad, you take the money first. After it's over, I'll give you 70 in two days."
Zhao Youcai glanced at the money and then said, "I don't want it either."
Even the juniors don’t want it, so how can he have the nerve to ask for it?
"Something else, something else." Wang Meilan picked up the corner of Zhao Youcai's pillow with one hand, and gestured with the other hand to stuff the money under the pillow: "Take it, you have been very tired this day."
After saying this, Wang Meilan said angrily again, "When she gets tired, she still gets angry with us."
"Don't use this nonsense with me." Zhao Youcai pulled away Wang Meilan's money-handling hand and said, "I'm angry because I support your mother-in-law's attitude towards me."
"Ah?" Wang Meilan was startled and asked in surprise: "Why did we two offend you again?"
"That little kid..." As soon as Zhao Youcai stood up, he was slapped by Wang Meilan.
"Can you pay more attention to what you say!" Wang Meilan said angrily: "That's your son, he's a little kid, then who are you? I'll call you Laozi from now on?"
Zhao Youcai pursed his lips and decisively chose to admit defeat. Then he continued the previous topic, pointed at the door and said, "They all took that kid away, so I left him to look after the house."
"Tsk! Look..." Wang Meilan frowned and looked at Zhao Youcai, and said, "Can this family be without you?"
"I..." Just as Zhao Youcai was about to speak, Wang Meilan nudged him on the shoulder and said, "His dad, no one else in the family can do it now, but you can't do it. You are the head of our household, you are the backbone of our family."
"I..." Zhao Youcai wanted to say something more, but he was not as quick to talk as Wang Meilan, so Wang Meilan said: "Baoyu has spoken, you have to stay at home and take charge. If you don't take charge of this house, then there will be chaos?"
After saying this, Wang Meilan patted Zhao Youcai on the shoulder again and said, "Go to bed quickly. Didn't my son tell you? When you get up early tomorrow, you have to feed that dog."
While saying this, Wang Meilan put the seventy yuan back into her pocket.
Today is different from the past. When Zhao Youcai acted like a monster, Wang Meilan had to deal with him directly.
But now, Zhao Youcai entertains guests at home every day, collects skins and bear bile, and cooks meals for everyone every now and then.
Wang Meilan could only coax Zhao Youcai to come.
Zhao Youcai was not stupid either. He knew that all Wang Meilan's calls were sugar-coated bullets. But before he could react, the sugar-coated bullets had already destroyed his resistance.
Zhao Youcai didn't know what to say, so he turned around angrily.
…
Early the next morning, when Wang Meilan got up to make dumplings, there was dog food gurgling in the big pot next to her, while Zhao Youcai had already gone out with a small basin to change it for soybean tofu.
When Zhao Youcai came back, he took a big spoon to put the dog food in a basin, and then went out to feed the dog with the big basin.
By this time, Zhao Jun and Xing San had already gotten up.
The old man was used to getting up early in the mountains, so he woke up at around three o'clock in the morning. After waking up, Xing San was afraid of waking up Zhao Jun, so he lay on the kang without moving.
When Zhao Jun woke up, Xing San got up with Zhao Jun.
Zhao Jun was folding quilts in the house, while Xing San put on his clothes and went out to collect firewood.
After a night, the temperature of the kang had almost cooled down. Xing San carried the firewood into the house, stuffed it into the hole of the kang, lit the kang to heat up, and the room quickly became warm.
The only disadvantage of burning a kang is that it is very dusty and has to be wiped frequently throughout the day.
But it will be better when the Zhao family moves to a new house. The kang hole in Zhao Jun's new house is at the root of the outer wall of the house, so that in the future, when burning the kang, there is no need to carry firewood into the house.
After Zhao Jun finished folding the quilt and Xing San finished burning the kang, the two of them went to the outhouse to wash up. Then Wang Meilan asked Zhao Jun: "Son, our family still has those older treasures on the mountain. How should we deal with them?"
"Mom, wait a few more days." Zhao Jun said, "We'll go up again after the New Year's Eve, when the tenants and so on come down the mountain."
Provided by Zhao Youcai, the top of the mountain farm where the golden grapes and golden watermelons are hidden has been harvested in the back.
Now that Zhao Jun is leading people to look for treasures, it is easy for people to watch. So Zhao Jun thought that after the Spring Festival is over and the workers have all gone home to celebrate the New Year, all factories should also stop work.
Until then, he can just take people to the mountains to hunt for treasures.
"Okay, son, you just have to figure it out." Wang Meilan quite agreed with what Zhao Jun said.
According to the old rules, when Zhao Jun goes out today, Wang Meilan makes dumplings for him.
Today's dumplings are dumplings stuffed with pickled cabbage and wild boar meat.
The wild boar was hunted by Wang Qiang, and the sauerkraut was pickled by Wang Qiang's family.
At the end of October, the Zhao and Li families each pickled 500 kilograms of sauerkraut. However, the Chinese New Year had not yet come, and the Zhao and Li families had already eaten all the sauerkraut.
After Zhao Jun had eaten and drank enough, he packed up and prepared to set off.
Zhao Jun expected that he would be back in three or two days after this trip, so he did not need to bring a change of clothes, but only brought things that could be used on the mountain.
Needless to say, semi-automatic guns and bullets. Zhao Jun brought two pairs of leggings. He also brought a white coat, just in case he could use it.
In addition, there are anti-inflammatory, hemostatic, and painkillers for hunting dogs, as well as sutures, large needles, twine and gauze for dressing wounds.
While Zhao Jun was packing his things, two dogs barked outside the house.
At this time, it wasn't very bright outside, so normally you wouldn't be able to see clearly when looking out the window.
But Zhao Jun looked out the window and saw three blurry people, two large and one small. Zhao Jun immediately concluded: "Zhang Yuanmin is here!"
The basis for his judgment is quite simple, that is: one of the two adults is taller.
Sure enough, as the door of the outhouse opened, Wang Meilan's voice was heard greeting Zhang Yuanmin's family.
When the family of three came to the west room, they saw Zhang Yuanmin standing at attention, wearing a dog-skin hat on his head, a cotton-padded jacket on his upper body, washed cloth trousers on his lower body, cotton shoes on his feet, and a handbag around his neck. These were all new.
of.
"Yuanmin, what are you doing here?" Zhao Youcai joked with Zhang Yuanmin and said, "You are dressed like the person you are looking for."
"Haha..." Zhang Yuanmin smiled and said, "Uncle, I haven't been out for a long time, haha."
Hearing Zhang Yuanmin's words, Zhao Youcai couldn't help laughing.
"Brother." When Zhao Jun heard this, he said to Zhang Yuanmin: "You have been at home for a long time. It's not too fun to go out."
As soon as Zhao Jun said this, Zhang Yuanmin received a fist from Yang Yufeng on the shoulder, and then heard Yang Yufeng say: "Hurry up and show your attitude to our brothers!"
"Brother!" Zhang Yuanmin was straightforward. He immediately puffed up his chest and said to Zhao Jun: "Brother, this time I go out with your horse head in mind!"
"Huh?" Zhao Jun was stunned. He didn't understand what Zhang Yuanmin said at all.
"Bang!" At this moment, Xing San threw the teapot on the Kang table, raised his finger and pointed at Zhang Yuanmin and yelled: "Who are you scolding?"
"Ah?" Zhang Yuanmin was a little confused, and Zhao Youcai pointed at Zhang Yuanmin and said, "What are you talking about?"
Zhang Yuanmin speaks with a Northeastern accent, and when he says "Only your horse's head", it sounds like "Only your mother's head".
At this time, Wang Meilan, who was dressing Zhao Na in the east room, heard something was wrong and hurriedly walked out. But Yang Yufeng, who was standing next to Zhang Yuanmin, was dumbfounded.
At this critical moment, Xiao Lingdang stepped forward, stood in front of Zhang Yuanmin, and rushed to Zhao Youcai. Xing San shouted: "Master Zhao, Third Grandpa, you have misunderstood."
"What the hell are you talking about?" Yang Yufeng said this. At the same time, she punched Zhang Yuanmin on the arm. She also felt that what Zhang Yuanmin just said was not a good thing.
But when Yang Yufeng took action, it was Zhang Yuanmin who stepped down the stairs.
Zhang Yuanmin, who had reacted, explained aggrievedly and somewhat panickedly: "Uncle, brother, third uncle, I'm not scolding you, I'm not scolding you!"
"Then what are you talking about?" There was evil in Xing San's eyes. Zhang Yuanmin quickly shook his hands and said, "I mean, I will listen to my brother in everything."
"Then what are you talking about?" Xing San asked again, but Zhang Yuanmin couldn't explain clearly. After all, if he was really capable, he wouldn't have caused such a misunderstanding.
At the critical moment, it must be a small bell.
The little girl said to Xing San: "Third Grandpa, my dad said he was following the horse's lead."
"What the hell?"
Xiao Lingdang glanced at Wang Meilan, then turned to Zhao Jun and said, "Uncle, my dad wanted to say that you are the only one who follows the horse's lead, and the horse's head is the horse's head. He didn't make it clear."
When Zhao Jun heard this, he twitched the corner of his mouth. He looked at the panicked Zhang Yuanmin and said, "Brother, you said you... why are you dragging that word every day? You still don't understand after it's over."
At this time, Zhao Jun had another sentence in his mind, which was: You are just like me, you are uneducated and can just calm down.
"I said you were bald." Zhang Yuanmin raised his hand and took off his dog-skin hat, and wiped the sweat from under his hairline with his other hand. He was so frightened that he was sweating just now.
"What a day!" Yang Yufeng scolded Zhang Yuanmin again, and then told him: "Go, you have to listen to your brother. If you have a good brain, you can help your brother to take action, and you can quickly defeat that local leopard.
Come on."
"I know, daughter-in-law." Zhang Yuanmin expressed his position: "Just look at me."
As soon as Zhang Yuanmin said this, Zhao Jun, Zhao Youcai, Yang Yufeng, and Xiao Lingdang said in unison: "Don't say that!"
The tacit understanding between the four people made Wang Meilan amused. Xing San didn't quite understand the reason, and the old man was confused.
Zhang Yuanmin's face fell, and he opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he couldn't.
At this time, four members of the Li family climbed over the wall from next door.
Seeing Li Dayong, Jin Xiaomei, Li Baoyu and Li Xiaoqiao entering the house, Wang Meilan asked Jin Xiaomei in confusion: "Brothers and sisters, where is Ruhai?"
It would be of great use for Zhao Jun to take Li Ruhai with him on this trip.
When Wang Meilan asked about Li Ruhai, Jin Xiaomei pouted and said, "He is well dressed and cannot climb over the wall, so he went through the gate by himself."
As soon as Jin Xiaomei finished speaking, Li Ruhai came in wearing a Chinese tunic suit, a marmot hat, and large leather military shoes.
Li Baoyu rolled his eyes at Li Ruhai, still brooding over being fucked by Li Ruhai yesterday.
"Ruhai, are you going to wear this?" Wang Meilan asked, and Li Ruhai smiled and said: "Well, aunt, doesn't this show the strength of our chamber of commerce? Haha..."
Having said this, Li Ruhai laughed and said: "A man relies on his clothes and a horse relies on his saddle. You can tell by his appearance."
"Oh!" Wang Meilan said with a smile: "Our little Ruhai is so cute!"
Li Ruhai's recent contributions to the Chamber of Commerce have already made up for the mistakes he made when he competed with Wang Meilan for the Women's Director.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Hehe..." Li Ruhai smiled and said, "Auntie, it would be even better if you could lend me that briefcase for two days."
"You wait." When Wang Meilan heard this, she waved her hand boldly and said, "Auntie, I'll get it for you."
"Sister-in-law!" Seeing this, Li Dayong hurriedly called to Wang Meilan: "Don't spoil him like that."
"Oh!" Wang Meilan said: "What's the use of a bag? If the child likes it, just give it to him."
After Wang Meilan finished speaking, a short while later, she came out with a briefcase and a dough pocket.
"Ruhai." Wang Meilan handed the briefcase to Li Ruhai, then threw the dough bag in front of Zhao Jun and said: "Son, this is the 50,000 yuan that Yongxing deserves. After that, you have to buy them a pig, right?"
"
Previously, when Zhao Jun was in charge of the Yongxing Brigade to borrow money, he promised Yu Xuewen to buy a pig for the Yongxing Brigade as interest on the loan.
That pig must be a domestic pig, not a wild boar. If it were a wild boar, the Yongxing Brigade would have its own hunting team, so there would be no need for Zhao Jun.
"Yeah, Mom." Zhao Jun said, "You still have to give us money. When I get to Little Sequoia, I have to collect the skins and bear bile."
"Brother and sister, you have to give me some more money." At this time, Xing San interrupted: "There are no big siege hunters in their place. They are all big hound hunters."
The old man has been living in the mountains for so many years. Even though he has never been to the Little Sequoia Forest Farm, he has heard it from others.
"Okay." Wang Meilan responded, turned around and went back to the east room. Soon, she came over with five newspaper packages.
She took someone to pack these yesterday. Each newspaper pack contained ten stacks of unity, which was 10,000 yuan.
Wang Meilan put 50,000 yuan on the Kang table. Zhao Jun waved his hand. Li Baoyu and Zhang Yuanmin came forward, each took a bag of money and stuffed it into their shoulder pockets.
"This... took away another hundred thousand, this..." Yang Yufeng said with some worry: "With this, we will have no money again before the Chinese New Year."
Yang Yufeng's worry was not unreasonable. The more than 180,000 yuan she got back the day before yesterday suddenly lost another 100,000 yuan.
"It's okay, sister-in-law." Zhao Jun said, "We will deal with it before the end of the year. We will go to Hebei after the eighth day of the Lunar New Year."
After Zhao Jun finished speaking, he saw Wang Meilan take out a bunch of big dough from his pocket and handed it to Zhao Jun and said: "Son, this is one hundred and fifty yuan. It's no problem to catch a 400-jin pig. You can give it to their team."
Bar."
These days, it is difficult to raise domestic pigs to 400 pounds.
But don't be stingy when dealing with others. If someone lends you money to tide you over, Wang Meilan is also willing to give Yongxing Brigade dozens of dollars more.
When Zhao Jun took the money, he heard Li Ruhai ask Wang Meilan: "Auntie, are we going to buy pigs for the Chinese New Year?"
When Wang Meilan took the women to wrap money yesterday, she saw so much money. Wang Meilan was very happy and discussed with everyone that during the Chinese New Year this year, the chamber of commerce would pay to buy a few pigs to eat.
It's free to eat wild boars in the mountains, but at this time, the fat of the wild boars has almost been consumed, and wild boars that are too thin will not taste good.
Everyone was happy to make money, so they unanimously approved Wang Meilan's proposal.
"I won't buy it." But at this time, Wang Meilan shook her head, and then said to Zhao Jun: "Son, hurry up and come back. When you come back, go up the mountain to catch pigs and roe deer!"
