Zhao Youcai and Zhao Jun left the house one after another. Zhao Youcai walked in front of him in a hurry, urging Zhao Jun as he walked.
"Why are you so anxious?" Zhao Jun said, "I've eaten half of my meal, and I feel sick to my stomach because I walked too fast."
"It's all a matter of one day!" Zhao Youcai said angrily, but seeing that Zhao Jun didn't follow him, he had no choice but to turn around and wait for Zhao Jun to come over.
Then Zhao Youcai grabbed Zhao Jun's wrist and said to him: "Son, I'll pick up the phone at Tunbu in a moment. They want you to go, so just agree."
Zhao Jun glanced at Zhao Youcai and replied directly: "I'm afraid my mother won't agree."
"Your mother... If your mother doesn't agree, you won't tell her?" Zhao Youcai said angrily: "Do you know how much a piece of leopard skin costs?" After saying that, Zhao Youcai stretched out a slap in the face of Zhao Jun.
With his eyes wandering, he said: "Five thousand! There is still a price but no goods!"
Zhao Jun nodded, Amur leopards are really rare, and they are indeed valuable but not available.
The two men chatted and chatted all the way to the village. When Zhao Guofeng saw them coming in, he hurriedly stretched out his hand and said, "Come on, I'm hungry!"
"Uncle Zhao!" Zhao Jun hurriedly walked forward, picked up the microphone at the table, and said hello, then heard Tao Dabao's voice from over there: "Zhao Jun, how was your blind date?"
"Very good, Uncle Tao." Zhao Jun replied: "How are the leopards doing over there?"
"The leopard is on fire!"
"Is it on?" As Zhao Jun spoke, he glanced at Zhao Youcai next to him, and saw that the invisible fire of hope in Zhao Youcai's eyes was extinguished instantly.
"How did you hit it?" Zhao Jun was curious, but also wanted to learn. After all, he didn't have any good methods to fight leopards. He thought that if the Yongxing brigade had any good tricks, he could learn some experience from them.
"Oh!" Tao Dabao said with a smile: "Come to think of it, do you have to thank your dad for this?"
"Who?" Zhao Jun was stunned when he heard this, then glanced at Zhao Youcai next to him, and asked Tao Dabao, "Why is my dad still here?"
When he heard that he was mentioned, Zhao Youcai was also shocked and quickly put his ear to the microphone.
On the other end of the phone, Tao Dabao said: "Our hunter team can't deal with this thing. After all, the man who is the accountant of our third team is from your forest farm logistics, let me tell you that...
At this point, Tao Dabao paused for a moment, seemed to think for a moment, and then said: "Is that your brother-in-law?"
Although there was no nomination or surname, when Tao Dabao said this, Zhao Jun immediately reacted and said: "Yes, Zhou Jianjun from the forest farm logistics is my brother-in-law."
Then, Zhao Jun asked again: "Uncle Tao, what trick did my brother-in-law give you?"
"Yeah." Tao Dabao said with a smile: "They were drinking and chatting... your brother-in-law said that he and your father went to the mountains to tie sheep and catch leopards, and they caught them several times."
"That's... okay..." Zhao Jun smiled, unable to complain, but at this moment he remembered the leopard he had seen that day, so he asked casually: "Uncle Tao, after that leopard was beaten, how about you weigh yourself on the scale?"
How much does it weigh?"
As soon as Zhao Jun said this, Tao Dabao was silent for a moment, and then said: "I don't know about this. Our gunner caught the shadow and fired two shots. He went over to see the gunshot and saw blood, but the leopard did not see the body.
."
"Then let the dog chase you!"
"I chased him!" Tao Dabao said: "I went there even after chasing him. I couldn't find him after chasing him. I saw purple-black blood, and his claws were sticky when he touched it."
"It's like saliva."
"Yes!" After hearing what Zhao Jun said, Tao Dabao immediately agreed: "The captain of our hunter team said he was seriously injured and will not survive tomorrow."
Zhao Jun heard this and nodded on the phone. The leader of the hunter team was right. Bleeding and sticky purple-black hair from wild beasts are serious injuries.
Such a serious injury can be fatal. Especially now, it is already mid-May, the weather is hot, and wound infection and inflammation are even more fatal.
However, Zhao Jun still gave one instruction: "Uncle Tao, please lead people to look for him in Hetaozi."
"I know this."
This is also common sense in the mountains. After a wild animal is injured and the wound hurts, they will go to the river and place the injured area in the river water.
The water in the river is cool and has analgesic effect.
Just listen to Tao Dabao continue to say: "Today I sent out all the militiamen from the brigade, and I have to find them high and low. That piece of skin is worth more than 10,000 yuan."
"How much?" Zhao Jun was stunned when he heard this, and subconsciously looked at Zhao Youcai beside him. Zhao Youcai vaguely heard it, and immediately left Zhao Jun and walked outside the Tunbu.
When he saw him going out, Zhao Guofeng called him: "Go back if you have money?"
Zhao Jun glanced at Zhao Youcai's back and asked Tao Dabao, "Uncle Tao, do you have anything else to do with me?"
Who is Tao Dabao? There are so many things going on in the brigade one day that he doesn't care about Zhao Jun's marriage deliberately. He doesn't even come to notify Zhao Jun if he catches a leopard.
"Something's wrong!" When Tao Dabao heard that Zhao Jun seemed to be putting down the phone, he hurriedly said to Zhao Jun: "It seems that the corns are about to pop out. Wait until July and August when the red tassels will appear, and the wild boars and black ones will be starched."
It's time for the blind man to go down the mountain. I'm thinking that if your forest farm is not busy and you are free, you can come over and work with us as a farmer, and we will give you two yuan a day."
Two yuan a day is sixty a month. To be honest, this treatment is really good.
But after Zhao Jun thanked Tao Dabao for his kindness, he politely refused.
As a farmer, his family owns land, and it’s quite close to a mountain farm. Wild boars and black bears attack every year. He can’t protect his own home, so how can he go all the way to protect other people’s land?
When Zhao Jun returned home, Wang Meilan, Zhao Hong, and Zhao Na had already finished eating, leaving only Zhao Youcai pulling food on the table. When Zhao Jun came back, Zhao Youcai didn't say anything, and just buried his head in the bowl and ate.
At this time, Wang Meilan came in from the outer room and said to Zhao Youcai: "Let's see which day you get off work early, invite Ma Dafu's family to have a meal, and set the date."
"Okay!"
The two families met today and agreed to the marriage between Zhao Jun and Ma Ling, but the specific date for the wedding has not been finalized yet. Zhao Youcai will be the host and invite Ma Dafu to his home for dinner.
Moreover, only one person, Ma Dafu, could be invited, not even Wang Cuihua. Likewise, no one else was needed to accompany them, just Zhao Youcai and Ma Dafu decided the date at the wine table.
But looking at the specific situation of the two families, it is estimated that they are just messengers.
Seeing Zhao Youcai agree, Wang Meilan smiled slightly, took out a small old notebook from the kang cabinet, raised her right hand, put her index finger on her tongue and dipped it, then opened the notebook and looked at it carefully.
Zhao Jun leaned over and tilted his head to take a look, only to see that what was recorded above were the family's income and expenditure in recent years.
Wang Meilan glanced sideways at Zhao Jun, then closed her book and said to Zhao Youcai: "I'll get you money later, and you go buy two bottles of wine and go see Guofeng."
"What are he doing?" Zhao Youcai was delighted when Wang Meilan said he wanted to give him money, but when Wang Meilan asked him to use the money to buy wine to see Zhao Guofeng, Zhao Youcai couldn't help but frown.
"What else are you doing?" Wang Meilan said: "Hurry up and ask him to grant a piece of land to our son. When the fields are busy in spring, we will build a house!"
