Zhao Jun got up early that day, had breakfast cooked by Zhao Youcai, moved the bench to his room, and waited for his wife to come and shave his head.
The more rural you are, the more particular you are about it. You cannot shave your head during the first month of the year. This is a rule that most people will abide by, unless they have a grudge against their uncle.
While Wang Meilan was shaving Zhao Jun's head, she warned him, "Son, you will go to work tomorrow, so you have to calm down."
"Yes." Zhao Jun responded: "Mom, don't worry, I will definitely go to work well."
Wang Meilan smiled lightly. Over the past six months, Zhao Jun has been very good and has made her look good in every aspect. Wang Meilan is very satisfied.
The most important thing is that Wang Meilan has more and more money saved in the kang cabinet in that room.
Seeing that Zhao Jun's hair was almost finished shaving, Li Baoyu came in from outside the house and called "Auntie".
"Baoyu." Wang Meilan said, "Hurry up and sit on the kang. When I finish shaving your brother, I will shave it for you."
"Yeah." Li Baoyu sat by the kang and waited. His mother, Jin Xiaomei, didn't know how to shave her head. When Wang Meilan shaved Zhao Jun's head, she would also shave it for him.
In the past, there would have been a Li Ruhai, but now Li Ruhai can only stay in bed... Well, no, he is lying on the kang to recuperate.
Therefore, Li Ruhai cannot shave his head today.
After Zhao Jun finished his work, Wang Meilan took the small kang broom and swept the stubble off Zhao Jun's body, then removed the cloth and called Li Baoyu to come forward.
Zhao Jun got up and gave the small bench to Li Baoyu. After shaking off the hair from his collar, he took his cotton-padded jacket from the wall and said, "Mom, Baoyu, I'm going out for a while."
"Brother, what are you doing?" Before Wang Meilan could ask, Li Baoyu asked first.
Zhao Jun opened the kang cabinet, took out a wad of money from it, and replied: "Isn't this the money Master Xu hasn't given to him yet? I'll give it to him."
"Oh." When Li Baoyu heard it, he didn't think it was anything interesting, so he just said "oh" and said nothing more.
But Zhao Meilan said: "That son, please give it to someone else quickly. Mrs. Xu is very careful about spending money."
When Zhao Jun heard this, he had some doubts in his heart. The old lady spent money carefully, but the old man didn't spend money carefully at all.
For a lynx head, you actually gave up a lynx skin, that’s 3,500 yuan!
You know, Lao Xutou wants the head of a lynx, which is different from Yang Mantang's want of a black blind man's head. Yang Mantang wants a black blind man's head because he wants to use it to commemorate Hu Guangmin.
But Xu Changlin would never spend 3,500 yuan to buy a lynx head just to pay homage to his hunting dog.
At this time, Zhao Jun remembered that Yang Mantang said that day that the old man might be up to something evil.
Zhao Jun took the money and left home and went straight to Xu Changlin's house.
When they arrived at Xu Changlin's house, Zhao Jun shouted twice outside, but no one came out.
Since selling all four dogs, Xu Changlin has stopped raising dogs. It is inevitable for people of this age to have hard ears. Zhao Jun's shouts are not as loud as the dogs' barks, so it is normal not to hear them.
So, Zhao Jun pushed open the fence door, entered the yard directly, and came directly to the door of the house.
Zhao Jun stood at the door of the room, raised his hand and was about to knock on the door, but he vaguely heard the conversation between the two elders in the room through the door.
These days, the houses are poorly built and the old man is hard of hearing, so he can’t help but speak loudly.
The old lady said: "I said I won't let you have it done, but you have to do it. What's the use of coming back with such a brain? It's still buried in the snow."
"Isn't that what your son asked you to do?" This was Xu Changlin's voice.
Immediately afterwards, the old lady said angrily: "My son asked you to punish the mother tiger, but he didn't ask you to punish the tiger cubs."
"If I don't think about it, I can't control the tiger, but all the tiger cubs are on top?" This sentence was said by Xu Changlin again.
"You don't understand anything." The old lady said: "I heard from the students who came to jump in the queue that year that if that thing is not called a tiger cub, what do they call it a lynx?"
"What the hell? You still listen to him." Xu Changlin sneered: "Then the old boy has been barking all day long, and it seems that Zhao Youcai didn't let him starve to death."
Zhao Jun was embarrassed when he heard it outside, but he couldn't let the two elders talk any more, otherwise what would they do if they said bad things about Zhao Youcai again?
After all, he is his biological father. If they say anything, it is wrong to go in and confront them, and it is wrong to pretend that he did not hear them.
Zhao Jun raised his hand and patted the door twice, then heard the old man's voice coming from the room: "Who is it?"
"Master Xu, it's me, Zhao Jun." After Zhao Jun finished speaking, he opened the door and entered the house.
"Zhao Xiao'er, come quickly." When the old lady saw Zhao Jun, she grinned and stretched out her arms to wave to Zhao Jun.
Zhao Jun walked to the Kang, called the old lady "Xu Nai", and then sat on the edge of the Kang.
"The child has grown so big." The old lady reached out and grabbed Zhao Jun's hand, and said to Xu Changlin: "Hurry up and give Zhao a full glass of warm water."
When the old man heard the sound, he was about to get up and go to the outhouse to pour water, but Zhao Jun stopped him.
"Master Xu." Zhao Jun said, "Stop working, I'll sit down for a while and then leave."
"Ah." Xu Changlin sat back on the kang and said with a smile: "Well, man, I really won't pour it for you."
Zhao Jun smiled and stretched his hand into his pocket, but saw the old man's expression suddenly changed and he shook his head slightly at him.
Zhao Jun's heart moved, but he didn't seem to see it. He took out the money from his pocket and said to Xu Changlin: "Master Xu, we shot that tiger cub that day, and I sold the skin. This is your share." p>
"Oops!" Xu Changlin pretended to be surprised and glanced at the money first, then looked up at Zhao Jun, and asked in a very surprised tone: "This... how much is this?"
"Eight hundred and seventy-seven." Zhao Jun said: "That piece of leather sells for two thousand sixty-six yuan. It is sold in big stores in the town. You, me, Baoyu, one share for each family is eight hundred and sixty-six yuan. I will collect it for you."
The whole number is eight hundred and seventy."
"This..." Xu Changlin looked at Zhao Jun, his hand stopped in mid-air, wondering whether he should accept the money or not.
Zhao Jun directly put the money into Xu Changlin's hand and said with a smile: "Master Xu, we can fight together, why are you so polite?"
"Haha..." Xu Changlin chuckled, got up and walked from Zhao Jun's side to the old lady and sat down next to him. He handed the money in the old lady's hand, then pointed at Zhao Jun and said to the old lady: "I just said this kid
Be benevolent and righteous, I even said I didn’t want the tiger cub skin that day, but he still brought it to me.”

As he said that, Xu Changlin turned his back to the old lady and winked at Zhao Jun.
As for the old lady, she took the money with a smile on her face, sat up straight, and stuffed the money into the pocket of her cotton-padded jacket. She grinned that toothless smile while stuffing it.
Old rural ladies these days can’t even move when they see a two-cent steel drill, let alone more than 800 yuan.
After pocketing the money, the old lady politely said to Zhao Jun: "Zhao Xiaoer, don't leave today. Stay home for dinner, and Mrs. Xu will kill the chicken for you."
"No need, Nai Xu." Zhao Jun said with a smile: "Today is the festival, and my mother is staying at home to prepare. I will sit down for a while and then leave."
"It's not bad, today is February 2nd." The old lady's thoughts were very fast. She suddenly patted Xu Changlin and said, "You guys beat this tiger cub. Xing Laosan didn't do anything, but you two are old buddies.
You should get some more things to see others.
He is an old mountain dog who has nothing to eat in the mountains. If you throw him 20 yuan, where will he spend it?"
As soon as the old lady said this, Zhao Jun slowly turned his face to Xu Changlin and looked at him in astonishment.
Zhao Jun thought that when he went there that day, Xu Changlin also said that in the mountains these days, anyone who eats or feeds dogs is his.
But when they arrived in the mountains and met Xing San, Xing San was very enthusiastic about Zhao Jun and Li Baoyu because of Xing Zhiyong's relationship.
When Mr. Xu saw this, he didn't even mention the food expenses. But now that the old lady said it, there seems to be corruption here.
But Zhao Jun then thought about it. He and Li Baoyu left first. Maybe it was after he left that Xu Changlin left the money for Xing San.
However, when Zhao Jun looked at Xu Changlin, he saw Xu Changlin pouting at him.
That’s it!
This old man has the same crime as Zhao Youcai!
At this time, the old lady was still mumbling: "While it's still freezing outside, someday you can send him some frozen tofu and dried tofu. Otherwise, what will he eat every day in the mountains?"
/p>
"Okay, I understand. I'll handle this in two days." Xu Changlin hurriedly stopped his wife, but worried that he wouldn't be able to stop him, he quickly changed the subject and said to Zhao Jun: "Man, you don't want to go to work?" "Yes." Zhao Jun smiled and said, "I will report for duty tomorrow."
"Oops." When Xu Changlin heard the conversation, he hurriedly said: "Where are you assigned to the forest farm?"
"Acceptance team, check the ruler."
Hearing Zhao Jun's words, Xu Changlin's eyes lit up, he clapped his hands and said to the old lady: "We are in the same place as Baoshan."
When the old lady heard this, she hurriedly said to Zhao Jun: "Xiao, your team leader is your second nephew, Mr. Xu."
"Oh, really? Is it such a coincidence?" In fact, Zhao Jun already knew that Xu Baoshan was related to Xu Changlin, but he still pretended to be surprised at this time.
"Yes." The old lady taught Zhao Jun with a smile and said: "When you see him tomorrow, tell him that your wife Xu asked him to come back to eat the pickled cabbage basket. He will know that our relationship is nothing."
"That's great!"
"That's not good." The old lady added: "If you have any problem, just ask him. He can't be vague about anything."
At this point, the old lady changed the topic and said: "If he doesn't do it for you, you come back to your Master Xu."
I don’t know what Xu Changlin told the old lady when he got home. Now the old lady thinks that the 870 yuan collected was given to his family by Zhao Jun kindly.
For a time, in the old lady's heart, Zhao Jun was a good young man.
When Xu Changlin heard this, he nodded and smiled.
He can't help but laugh, the handle is in someone else's hands.
Zhao Jun also smiled, and just as he was about to speak, he heard the old lady say: "Young man, you run all over the mountain with your ruler, and if you hear a big claw somewhere, just come back and tell Master Xu."
"Big claws?" Zhao Jun heard this and looked at the old lady in shock.
Big Claw is what the old people in the mountains call an animal.
