There were eight dishes, each of which was a hard dish, and each dish was divided into two plates. A total of sixteen plates filled two large tables at Zhao Jun's house.
Zhao Jun, Zhao Youcai, Li Dayong, Lin Xiangshun, and Li Baoyu were at the same table in the inner room, and Wang Meilan, Jin Xiaomei, Li Ruhai, Zhao Hong, Zhao Na, and Li Xiaoqiao were at another table in the outer room.
Facing a table full of delicious food, Zhao Jun and Li Baoyu shook their cheeks and ate.
You will definitely not be able to escape a severe beating tonight. Why don't you eat more meat to replenish your energy before that?
But at the dinner table, Li Dayong looked at Li Baoyu's eating appearance. He couldn't help squinting his eyes and gritting his teeth secretly, thinking: "You little bastard, you spend the whole day either causing trouble or eating. I have to worry about everything for you. Let's see if I don't kill you when I go back at night."
.”
After three rounds of drinking, Zhao Youcai brought the topic at the dinner table to the forestry farm's plan to add trucks next year. After getting Lin Xiangshun's support, Li Dayong spoke in person and told Lin Xiangshun his request.
After hearing this, Lin Xiangshun glanced at Li Baoyu and said with a smile: "Uncle Li, if we are still talking about this, isn't that a heretic? Don't say anything anymore, and let Baoyu come to the venue and learn to drive with me in a few years."
Li Dayong and Li Baoyu were both happy when they heard this. Li Dayong even picked up his wine glass and said, "Shunzi, don't say anything anymore. Uncle Li proposes a toast to you."
"I don't dare." Lin Xiangshun raised the glass with one hand and reached out with the other hand to lift the glass in Li Dayong's hand. After it was higher than the rim of his own glass, he touched it with him.
Northeastern Xiaoshao is bulk liquor, also called Sanluzi. There is no low-alcohol liquor, and Northeastern people don’t drink low-alcohol liquor either. The lowest liquor has to be 56 degrees.
From the beginning of the banquet to now, Zhao Youcai, Li Dayong and Lin Xiangshun drank less than half a kilo.
At this time, Zhao Jun was a little scared because he knew that once a person drinks too much, he can do anything.
If Zhao Youcai and Li Dayong got so drunk that they fell asleep, that would be fine.
It would be good if Zhao Youcai and Li Dayong were not drunk too much and were conscious. When the time came to beat him and Li Baoyu, they would definitely have some discretion in their attacks.
But the scariest thing is when both of them drink too much, but are still awake and capable of acting. This is the scariest thing.
Because at this time, people's behavior is not affected, but their thinking is chaotic. If they get red-eyed, they may not be sure how to act.
Thinking of this, Zhao Jun couldn't help but feel a little scared. Li Baoyu was okay, he was tall and strong. If Li Dayong got anxious, even if he couldn't fight back and beat his father, he still had the ability to run away.
But what about Zhao Jun? He can't defeat Zhao Youcai.
The two men are similar in height and weight. Zhao Youcai is older than Zhao Jun, but at the age of forty-five, he is still a chef, spooning and cutting every day. His big hands are like two tongs. Zhao Jun has no idea.
I can't resist it.
Thinking of this, Zhao Jun kept winking at Lin Xiangshun. He and Lin Xiangshun had lived and ate together for several years. Zhao Jun believed that his best second brother could see what he was thinking.
Sure enough, Lin Xiangshun held down Zhao Youcai's hand to get the wine barrel and said, "Second uncle, you have to go to work tomorrow, so drink less."
"Isn't it time to drink?" Zhao Youcai pulled Lin Xiangshun's hand away and muttered casually.
"That's right." Li Dayong answered from the side and said: "Shunzi, you have to drink it!"
In the Northeast, if guests come to stay for a meal, it is very difficult for every family these days. It doesn't matter what kind of food or dishes you eat, but the wine must be drunk well.
It doesn’t have to be a good wine, just take care of it. But if you don’t drink to your heart’s content, the host will lose face.
This is no small matter. If you want people to pay attention to this, they won't even be able to raise their heads when they go out.
"Second uncle, second uncle." Lin Xiangshun stretched out his hand again, held down the wine barrel, and said hurriedly: "I'm not an outsider, let's drink it next time. You have to squat with the stone lid all morning today, so you can rest early in the evening."
When Zhao Youcai heard this, he subconsciously looked up at Zhao Jun and met his eyes.
Zhao Jun felt guilty and quickly lowered his head.
Zhao Youcai curled his lips and then turned his attention to Li Dayong and said: "Brother, Shunzi is not an outsider either, so that's it for today."
"Okay, brother, I'll listen to you." When Li Dayong faced Zhao Youcai, he obeyed somewhat like Li Baoyu did to Zhao Jun.
However, Li Dayong was not so polite to his own son.
He was heard shouting to Li Baoyu: "Go and bring the rice bowl back and forth."
When Li Baoyu heard this, he quickly got up and went to the outhouse. After a while, he came back with a big red basin in his hand. The red basin was full of rice.
There are no electric rice cookers these days. To steam rice, you have to boil water in a big pot and sit on top of a big basin to steam the rice.
Li Baoyu served Zhao Youcai, Li Dayong, and Lin Xiangshun one by one a meal. After the three of them finished eating the vegetables and soup, Lin Xiangshun took the bear meat Wang Meilan had prepared for him, said goodbye to everyone, and went home.
At this time, Li Dayong called Li Baoyu and Li Ruhai to carry half of the remaining bear meat home. He and Jin Xiaomei took Li Xiaoqiao over the wall and went directly home.
After seeing off Lin Xiangshun and the Li family, Zhao Jun ran away and ran into his house. Unexpectedly, Zhao Youcai had been prepared for it. He rushed over with a single step, blocked the door with a bow of his knees, and pushed it with both hands.
Zhao Jun pushed open the door together.
"I let you run!" Zhao Youcai swept his big hand forward. When Zhao Jun lowered his head, he swiped his big hand around his neck and held Zhao Jun's collar.
Zhao Youcai pulled his arm back and pulled Zhao Jun in front of him. He pressed down with his hand holding the collar, and pushed down Zhao Jun's head and upper body.
Then, Zhao Youcai made a fist with his other hand and hammered Zhao Jun's back.
Zhao Youcai punched Zhao Jun three times in a row, knocking Zhao Jun out of his ability to resist. Then he raised his foot and kicked him to the ground. Then he sat on Zhao Jun and slapped him.
…
The next day, when Zhao Hong and Zhao Na were carrying their schoolbags and getting ready to go to school, they found that their eldest brother hadn't gotten up to eat yet.
When the young ladies came back from school, they found that their eldest brother was still lying on the kang.
Although both sisters knew that Zhao Jun was lazy, they didn't want to lie in bed these days. He couldn't even get out of bed to have breakfast. People like Zhao Jun would be beaten.
But what surprised the two young ladies was that Wang Meilan didn't say anything to Zhao Jun when she came back from work, and Zhao Youcai didn't say anything when he came back from get off work. Instead, he asked Zhao Hong to feed Zhao Jun.
In this way, Zhao Jun lay on the kang for four days and did not get off the ground until the fifth day. However, Li Baoyu was two full days earlier than him because of his strong body.
From the time he was able to go to the fields, Li Baoyu stayed by Zhao Jun's Kang and discussed with him every day about future hunting.
Zhao Jun was also bored. The two brothers became more and more energetic, but now there was a problem. Wang Qiang had already taken back the shotgun stolen from Wang Qiang's house.
Now there is no shortage of dogs at home, but there is no gun.
