Zhao Youcai was so excited that he suddenly got stuck there, catching Zhao Jun and others off guard.
Zhao Jun and Wang Meilan both left the kang and rushed to Zhao Youcai. The two women didn't have any first aid knowledge, so they hurriedly helped Zhao Youcai up.
Fortunately, Zhao Youcai didn't have a stroke or cerebral congestion, but the lace of his right cotton shoe came open, and he stepped on the right shoelace with his left foot.
"What's going on here?" Xing San asked as he came out of the west room. The old man heard Wang Meilan shouting before and came out to take a look. Seeing that nothing happened, he went back and sat down. Zhao Youcai made such a big noise again.
"Dad, where are you knocking?" Zhao Jun asked nervously about Zhao Youcai's situation, and cooperated with Wang Meilan to carry Zhao Youcai back to the east room, and helped him sit on the edge of the Kang.
"Ouch." Zhao Youcai covered his left elbow with his right hand, grinning and looking ferocious, as if he was in pain.
"Does your arm hurt?" Seeing this, Wang Meilan asked with concern: "Can you bend it back?"
Zhao Youcai grinned, nodded, and then stood up from the kang.
"What else are you doing?" Wang Meilan asked, "How are your arms?"
"It's okay, it's no big deal." Zhao Youcai said, putting down his left arm and raising his right foot to step on the edge of the kang.
The shoelaces are untied and must be tied.
Zhao Jun and others watched him tie his shoelaces, and they seemed to have no problem with his hands, so they felt a little relieved.
After tying his shoelaces, Zhao Youcai stood up from the kang and said, "It's okay, you don't have to worry about me."
Wang Meilan curled her lips when she heard this, frowned and said to Zhao Youcai: "What are you doing? Are you trying to scare people today?"
Zhao Youcai didn't say anything and walked directly outside. Seeing that he didn't seem to be in trouble, Xing San continued to go back to the west room to put on his leggings, while Wang Meilan started to pick up the table.
Zhao Youcai came out of the house and shouted to the west courtyard: "Dayong! Dayong!"
Zhao Youcai shouted twice, and Li Dayong rushed out of the Li family in the west courtyard.
"What's going on, brother?" Li Dayong ran towards the wall between the two houses, and Zhao Youcai laughed and said, "Dayong, I'll go up the mountain in a moment!"
"Oh! Really?" Seeing Zhao Youcai nodding his head repeatedly, Li Dayong was happy for him and said: "Brother, you go up the mountain, I will let Ruhai go over and entertain the guests with Brother Xing?"
"No, no need." Hearing Li Dayong ask this, Zhao Youcai waved his hands repeatedly and said with a smile: "Your eldest nephew is leaving home."
When he said this, Zhao Youcai was very happy.
"Brother, hurry up and put on your clothes and leggings." Li Dayong said with a smile: "I'm going to pack up and go to work. I'll come back in the evening to hear your good news. You'll have to kowtow two roe deer!"
"Hey! Hey!" Zhao Youcai grinned and agreed twice with a smile, and then the two brothers turned around and walked back to the house.
Zhao Youcai entered the house, hurriedly changed his clothes and put on leggings, then stood up and glanced out the window, muttering: "Why are you not here yet?"
After saying this, Zhao Youcai came out of the east room and went to the door of the west room. He saw Zhao Jun and Xing San sitting on the edge of the Kang chatting.
At this time, Xing San had also packed up. Seeing Zhao Youcai coming, the old man and the young man stopped talking and all looked at Zhao Youcai.
"What did your uncle and the others say?" Zhao Youcai raised his head, touched Zhao Jun with his chin, and asked, "What time is it? Why haven't you come here yet?"
No wonder Zhao Youcai was anxious, it was already 8:15, Li Dayong had gone to work, and the Zhao family gang hadn't come yet.
"They went to my brother Zhang's house." Zhao Jun said, "They went to help me nail the frame."
"What are you doing?" Zhao Youcai didn't understand, but Zhao Jun continued to answer: "We nailed the frame for tying the roe deer. Were those roe deer captured yesterday and put in cages? They need to be sorted out."
In the past, Zhang Yuanmin could do this job by himself. But now he can't use much strength, so he needs help to lift the pole back and forth and support the frame.
"How long will it take?" Zhao Youcai was anxious, but Zhao Jun said, "It's almost done. Brother Zhang said that thing is very neat."
As soon as Zhao Jun finished speaking, there was the sound of opening the door in the outer room. Zhao Youcai hurriedly turned around and saw Li Ruhai coming in.
When he saw that it was not Wang Qiang and the others, Zhao Youcai couldn't help but feel disappointed, and then he stared at Li Ruhai and asked, "Where is your brother?"
"I'm going to my brother Zhang's house." Li Ruhai responded, said hello to Wang Meilan, and walked to the west room.
Arriving at the door of the west room, Li Ruhai said to Zhao Jun: "Brother, my brother said that he and my uncle will be done soon."
"Hey." Zhao Jun responded, glanced at Zhao Youcai, and then asked Li Ruhai: "Ruhai, are you going to help too?"
"Yeah." Li Ruhai smiled and walked over, then asked Zhao Jun: "Brother, why don't you wear leggings?"
"I'm not going today." Zhao Jun said, motioning to the door and saying, "Let my dad go up the mountain with them."
"Ah..." Li Ruhai looked back at Zhao Youcai, and then said to Zhao Jun: "Okay, brother, I'll go back and change clothes, and I'll come over to help you."
After saying that, Li Ruhai turned around and left.
When Li Ruhai passed by, Zhao Youcai glared at Li Ruhai. He was so busy at home, and this kid didn't even say to help him.
At this time, Zhao Youcai couldn't stay in the room any longer. He entered the west room, took off the semi-automatic rifle from the wall, slung it over his shoulder, then opened the drawer, took a pack of bullets from it and stuffed it into the cotton monkey pocket.
inside.
"Brother, I'll go out and wait for you!" Zhao Youcai said something to Xing San, and then walked out.
As soon as Zhao Youcai left the west room, Wang Meilan, who was washing the pots in the outer room, pointed to the dough bag on the stove window and said to him: "Well, those are the supplies prepared for you. Take it quickly."
These are all words originally written by Zhao Youcai!
Zhao Youcai twitched the corner of his mouth, went over to grab the top pocket and walked out.
Zhao Youcai went out from the house. When the dogs outside the house saw him dressed up for hiking with a gun on his shoulder, they howled and jumped up.
"Don't be anxious, don't be anxious!" Zhao Youcai waved excitedly to Black Tiger and Hualong, and then walked quickly to the warehouse.
When he spoke like this, the dogs became even more anxious, jumping up and down one by one, and howling.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Zhao Jun, who was leaning against the window in the house, saw this and quickly put on his cotton-padded jacket and left the house.
When Zhao Jun came out, Zhao Youcai came out of the warehouse holding a bundle of ropes.
Seeing Zhao Jun walking towards him, Zhao Youcai said to Zhao Jun: "eldest son, help dad load all the dogs into the car."
"What's going on?" Zhao Jun frowned and said, "During the Great Liberation, Baoyu drove away."
The Zhao and Li families had no place to arrange the roe deer, so after breakfast, Li Baoyu drove the Jiefang and took the roe deer with their cages to Wang Qiang's house.
After Zhang Yuanmin finished nailing the roe deer frame, he also transported the frame to Wang Qiang's house.
Hearing what Zhao Jun said, Zhao Youcai frowned, raised his hand and gave the rope to Zhao Jun.
Zhao Jun subconsciously raised his hand to take the rope, and saw Zhao Youcai covering his elbow that he had just knocked.
"What's wrong, dad?" Seeing him like this, Zhao Jun asked hurriedly: "How about you go into the house, take off your cotton-padded jacket or something, and see if your arm is swollen or something?"
"It's okay, it's okay." Zhao Youcai said it was okay, but kept moving his arms.
Seeing that his arm could bend back, Zhao Jun knew that there was nothing serious about Zhao Youcai's arm, and there was no muscle or bone damage, so Zhao Jun felt relieved.
But at this moment, Zhao Jun saw the semi-automatic rifle Zhao Youcai was carrying. Zhao Jun hurriedly warned Zhao Youcai, saying: "Dad, your arm is weak. If you want to shoot, be careful. Don't hit the side."
.”
What Zhao Jun means is that when you shoot, don't let the dog hit you.
But Zhao Jun's words brought back some bad memories for Zhao Youcai.
Zhao Youcai thought of the big green man who was suffering from hatred under his gun.
At this moment, Zhao Youcai thought that Zhao Jun was mocking him, and immediately became furious.
"Go to NM! Little calf!" Zhao Youcai said angrily: "When I was shooting, I didn't even have you!"
Zhao Jun: "..."
The eldest son just now is now a little kid. Who is he?
But before Zhao Jun could say anything, Li Baoyu drove back in the Liberation Vehicle.
"Hurry up and let the dog out!" Zhao Youcai shouted to Zhao Jun, and he walked quickly towards Erhei.
Wang Qiang, Li Baoyu and Jie Chen got off the car and entered the hospital. They felt something was wrong at first sight when they saw Zhao Youcai.
In the past, when Zhao Jun and others went up the mountain, Zhao Youcai never helped herd the dogs.
Seeing Zhao Youcai carrying a gun again, Li Baoyu jumped to Zhao Jun's side and asked: "Brother, what is my uncle doing?"
"I will stay home today." Zhao Jun said, "Let him go up the mountain with you."
When Zhao Jun said this, Wang Qiang and Jie Chen each carried bulging sacks and came to Zhao Jun's side.
Seeing the three people muttering around Zhao Jun, Zhao Youcai, who was attacking Bailong, shouted: "What are you looking at? You're throwing a tantrum!"
"This guy's!" Wang Qiang glanced at him and joked: "On the first day you joined our hunting gang, are you as arrogant as the old oil man?"
"Don't be such a useless kid! You're stunned!" Zhao Youcai waved his arm and commanded: "Put the dog in the car and I will lead you up the mountain!"
Hearing what Zhao Youcai said, Wang Qiang curled his lips and said, "Okay, just wait while I put the potato seeds in the cellar."
As soon as Wang Qiang finished speaking, Wang Meilan and Xing San came out of the room.
"Qiangzi!" Wang Meilan shouted to Wang Qiang: "Have you brought the potato seeds?"
"Bring it here, sister." Wang Qiang said, "I was just thinking about getting it into the cellar."
"I'll go down, I'll go down." Wang Meilan said, and came to Wang Qiang. Looking at the two bulging sacks, if they contained potatoes, they would weigh nearly two hundred kilograms.
"Qiangzi, have you brought them all to us?" Wang Meilan asked, "Don't you have a few left at home?"
"There are ten left." Wang Qiang said: "We don't eat at home, so your brothers and sisters asked me to bring them over."
After saying this, Wang Qiang paused for a moment and then said: "I'll get the cabbage for you tomorrow. I'm in a hurry to go up the mountain today. I'm afraid I won't make it."
These days, in the Northeast, regardless of urban or rural areas, it is necessary to stock up on autumn vegetables after October 1, otherwise there will be nothing to eat in the winter.
Every household stocks hundreds of kilograms of radishes, cabbage, potatoes, and green onions.
From the beginning of winter to now, the potatoes that the Zhao and Li families had hoarded have all been eaten.
Then, they ate up the potatoes from Lin Xiangshun, Zhang Yuanmin and the old lady's house.
Now I start to eat from Wang Qiang’s family, but Wang Qiang and his wife have two children, so they don’t have much food.
Almost all of the 200 kilograms of potatoes I stocked up for autumn are here.
Logically speaking, even if the Zhao family has many people eating, potatoes should not cost so much.
The main reason is because the Zhao family has more and more dogs.
Every day I put dog food in, a bucket of more than ten kilograms of potatoes is poured into it, and I have to add some corn flour.
"What's going on?" Wang Meilan was a little worried. Zhao Jun said from the side: "Mom, it's okay. I will go to the city tomorrow and I saw there are potatoes. I will buy some for you."
"Son, are you going to the city tomorrow?" Wang Meilan heard the words and said: "Tomorrow is the New Year's Eve, let's have two meals."
"That's okay." Zhao Jun said, "I'll be back in the morning."
"Hurry up, hurry up!" Zhao Youcai's urging interrupted the conversation between the two women. Zhao Jun asked Wang Qiang and Li Baoyu to help Zhao Youcai, while he helped Wang Meilan put potatoes in the cellar.
Zhao Jun tied the sacks containing potatoes with ropes and sent them down, while Wang Meilan placed them underneath.
By the time the two women finished their work, the Jiefang truck and the jeep had already driven away.
"Let's go, son." Wang Meilan patted the dust on her trouser legs and said to Zhao Jun, "Let's go into the house."
The two sisters walked into the house, Zhao Hong and Zhao Na walked out of the house. Both sisters knew that someone was going to be in the house and it was time for them to go to Li's house next door.
After entering the house, Wang Meilan called Zhao Jun to the east room, then opened the kang cabinet and took out her own triangular pocket for money.
The money in this pocket is not public money.
Wang Meilan took out a wad of money, counted out a thousand and handed it to Zhao Jun, saying: "Son, take it. You can buy whatever you want to see when you go to the city tomorrow."
"Mom." Zhao Jun took the money and asked Wang Meilan, "Can't you come into the city with me?"
"I'm not going." Wang Meilan shook her head and said: "It's the Chinese New Year, how about more work at home? Let's have a dinner tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow our family will kill a pig. The day after tomorrow, your uncle, your second brother's family will kill a pig, twenty
Liu Baoyu's family slaughtered pigs and worked with them all afternoon, and then came back to take off the quilt in the afternoon."
"Okay, Mom." Hearing this, Zhao Jun nodded and said, "Then think about it, what else are you missing for the New Year? Tell me, and I'll buy you a bunch of them."
"Okay..." As soon as Wang Meilan opened her mouth, she heard a dog barking from outside the house.
Zhao Youcai and the others took away all the hunting dogs, leaving three red dogs, one big, two small and three small.
"Oh my God!" Wang Meilan stretched her neck and looked out the window and said, "Son, someone is coming up."
Zhao Jun stood up and looked out the window and saw two people standing at the gate.
Zhao Jun stepped out and walked out. At this time, Li Ruhai climbed over the wall from the next courtyard. As he walked towards the entrance of the courtyard, he clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty is here. Sometimes you are not welcomed from afar, and sometimes you are not welcomed from afar."
Li Ruhai said before that he went back to change clothes because he went to Zhang Yuanmin's house to help in the morning and was wearing Jin Xiaomei's work clothes. Now that he was going to help Zhao Jun entertain guests, Li Ruhai changed into his cool outfit again.
Wang Jinbo couldn't help but feel a little timid when he saw Li Ruhai, who was wearing a marmot hat, big leather shoes, and a Chinese tunic suit, talking politely to him. Wu Dalin, who came from Xishantun.
People are heroes, money is courage.
Even though the two of them were as old as four or five Li Ruhai together, facing Li Ruhai dressed like this, they both felt that they were a head shorter.
"Please come in quickly, please come in quickly." Li Ruhai turned sideways, raised his hand towards the front of the house, and smiled at the two of them: "Come in and warm yourself up, take a sip of hot water and roll a leaf cigarette."
The two looked at each other and followed Li Ruhai into the courtyard. When they were approaching the door, they saw the door of Zhao's house opening and Zhao Jun coming out of the house.
"Brother, we have a visitor!" Li Ruhai said to Zhao Jun. Zhao Jun nodded to Wu Dalin and Wang Jinbo and said with a smile: "Come up to the house quickly."
As soon as Wu Dalin entered the house and saw Wang Meilan coming out of the east room, he immediately shouted to Wang Meilan: "Grandma Zhao, have a great New Year!"
