The battle ended early today, so I can go home earlier than yesterday.
When we returned to Zhao Jun's house, it was just after one o'clock in the afternoon. Wang Meilan cooked a pot of hot noodle soup for them. Lin Xiangshun and Zhao Jun ate while studying how the two dogs would get together tomorrow.
After finishing the meal, the two returned to Zhao Jun's house and took a nap. After waking up, Lin Xiangshun lay on the kang feeling quite emotional.
After his mother passed away, his father remarried the next year, and that stepmother couldn't tolerate Lin Xiangshun.
This plot is similar to what happened to Zhao Jun in his previous life. But Zhao Youcai married Zhao Jun a wife, but Lin Xiangshun’s father gave him nothing.
At that time, Lin Xiangshun's eldest brother had already married. Lin Xiangshun went to his brother's house to stay for a few days, but his sister-in-law wouldn't tolerate him and wouldn't even give him food.
Lin Xiangshun didn't go to Zhao Jun's house until he was so hungry that he asked Wang Meilan for stuttering food.
Why not find someone else but Wang Meilan?
Because when Lin Xiangshun was alive, he and Wang Meilan were the best. According to the villagers, the two of them were god sisters.
It was before the twelfth lunar month, and Lin Xiangshun was wearing a cotton-padded jacket with exposed cotton at the elbows. He was sitting on the kang in the east room of Zhao Jun's house, waiting for Wang Meilan to cook dumplings for him.
Two plates of dumplings stuffed with wild boar and pickled cabbage were not enough, so I cooked two more plates. It was not enough, but Zhao Jun’s family had no more frozen dumplings stuffed with wild boar and pickled cabbage, so Wang Meilan cooked him two plates of roe deer meat and large radish.
In this way, Lin Xiangshun ate six plates of dumplings, a total of one hundred and thirty or forty. The dumplings in the Northeast are still bigger, and they have caught up with the steamed dumplings in the South.
He ate like this and made Wang Meilan cry after eating it.
Wang Meilan cried, not because she felt sorry for the dumplings, but because she felt sorry for Lin Xiangshun. She wiped her tears while talking about Lin Xiangshun's mother.
When Zhao Youcai came back in the evening, Wang Meilan told Zhao Youcai about Lin Xiangshun, and Zhao Youcai said to let Lin Xiangshun stay and live in the same house with Zhao Jun first.
From then on, Lin Xiangshun became a part of the family. At home, he would eat whatever Zhao Jun ate. Later, his work was all arranged by Zhao Youcai.
Later, Lin Xiangshun built a house, married a wife and had children, and the Zhao family also helped. Especially when his wife gave birth to a child, it was Wang Meilan who took care of her during the confinement period.
When Zhao Jun was in his last life, Wang Meilan passed away. Lin Xiangshun did not compete with Zhao Jun for the job of breaking basins, but he also wore sackcloth and mourned, and was busy from beginning to end.
After Wang Meilan was buried, Lin Xiangshun told Zhao Jun that from now on, your second brother's home is your home, and you can come whenever you want.
Sure enough, Zhao Jun's experience was similar to Lin Xiangshun's. After his stepmother passed away, Zhao Jun lived in Lin Xiangshun's house until Zhao Youcai built a house for him and got married.
Later, when Zhao Jun returned to the village in despair, Lin Xiangshun was already over sixty, but whenever he ate meat at home, he would call Zhao Jun over.
"What a shock." Lin Xiangshun said with emotion: "I haven't been lying on this kang for many years."
"Ha!" Zhao Jun pretended to complain: "I asked you to sleep at home last autumn, but you refused!"
Lin Xiangshun was startled, but he quickly remembered that what Zhao Jun was saying was that he carried Zhao Youcai and Wang Meilan up the mountain to hunt last fall, and was about to be beaten, so he thought of letting him stay.
"Hey, Xiaojun!" Lin Xiangshun suddenly remembered something and asked Zhao Jun: "How did you practice hunting? Not to mention shooting or anything like that, I saw that you opened the gun very smoothly."
"Practice makes perfect." Since he couldn't tell the truth anyway, Zhao Jun just made it up: "From last autumn to now, I have already practiced how many wild boars I drive."
Lin Xiangshun didn't believe it, but Zhao Jun asked: "Second brother, do you think there should be no problem for these two dogs to get together, right?"
After Big Fatty waited for the four dogs to arrive home, they separated in pairs. Tabby Cat and Hualang went to Li Baoyu's house next door, and were in contact with Dahuang and Xiaohua every day. Big Fatty and Third Fatty also met Little Bear and White Dragon every day, and now half of them
It has been months. If Zhao Jun wants to come, there should be no problem.
"It's hard to say." But Lin Xiangshun was not optimistic. He said: "Then these four dogs were too slippery. Look at them all. They were fat and old. They only caught such a big pig yesterday."
The two studied for a while. Zhao Jun looked up at the big clock on the wall and saw that it was almost four o'clock. He got off the kang and prepared wild boar meat for Lin Xiangshun to eat.
When Lin Xiangshun heard this, he immediately became happy and said with a smile: "You know how to cook? Don't waste that meat."
"Second brother, just wait." Zhao Jun said with a smile: "You will have to drink too much to eat the meat I cooked."
"Then do it quickly. I have to try the food cooked by my brother." Lin Xiangshun said, also got off the kang, put on his shoes and followed Zhao Jun out.
Zhao Jun started working in the outhouse, while Lin Xiangshun and Wang Meilan were watching Zhao Jun cooking meat and chatting.
The two of them were talking about nothing else but building a house for Zhao Jun. Lin Xiangshun said that he sometimes traveled to Lingnan and Lingxi and passed by brick factories and cement factories. He could help Zhao Jun get some bricks and cement when he came back.
.
For sand, just go to the riverside and dig it. Anyway, there are cars, so it is convenient to pull the sand.
As for the wood, it goes without saying. If the wood cannot be harvested by relying on the forest farm, then what are they doing?
Hearing these words, Wang Meilan smiled and nodded repeatedly. This calculation can save a lot of money, and when Zhao Jun gets married, he may be able to buy a radio for him.
While they were talking, Zhao Jun had already boiled the water and put the wild boar pork belly and green onions cut into large cubes into the pot.
Add firewood, cook over high heat, and cook the wild boar until it can be pierced with chopsticks. Zhao Jun takes out all the meat and scoops out the water in the pot.
Brush the pot, ladle out water, boil the pot dry, put brown sugar and white sugar on the bottom of the pot, put a pot curtain made of No. 8 thread on top, then brush each piece of meat with oil, then place it on the pot curtain and cover the pot
Cover and smoke.
Press the smoked wild boar meat on the cutting board, cut it into large thin slices, hold one side with the chopsticks, roll the meat slices around the chopsticks, and Zhao Jun handed it to Wang Meilan.
After Wang Meilan finished eating, her eyes suddenly lit up. She patted Lin Xiang beside her and said, "Shunzi, try it quickly. It's really delicious!"
"Really!" Lin Xiangshun heard this and hurriedly went over to take a piece. After eating it, he was full of praise.
"Is it delicious?" Zhao Jun asked.
"It's delicious!" Lin Xiangshun nodded and said, "Xiaojun, where did you learn this? You're awesome."
Zhao Jun laughed, and just as he was about to speak, the door was opened from the outside.
"Brother, today again..." Li Baoyu entered the room and was about to speak, but when he smelled the aroma of meat, his eyes suddenly grew.
He got off work early today. When he came home, he saw Dahuang and Xiaohua coming back. When he entered the house, he saw Jin Xiaomei eating wild boar ribs, saying that Zhao Jun gave them to her at noon.
Seeing Zhao Jun and Lin Xiangshun hunting prey again, Li Baoyu climbed over the wall to ask, but as soon as he entered the house, he realized that he had come to the right place.
After finishing a piece of meat, Li Baoyu stopped leaving and gathered around the cutting board with Lin Xiangshun, eating the meat piece by piece.
At this time, Zhao Jun and Wang Meilan began to roll out pancakes!
