In front of a counter, Wang Meilan slapped the money on the counter with her left hand, pushed it diagonally to the outside with her right hand, and said proudly: "Put those on for me, I'll round them up!"
"Hey, hey." The usually arrogant and cold salesman looked at Wang Meilan with a smile on his face, reached out and grabbed the money Wang Meilan slapped on the table, and counted it in his hand.
At this time, Jin Xiaomei was following Wang Meilan, just like a maid following Mrs. Kuo.
And around the two of them, there were dozens of people watching the excitement.
"Look, look." Sun Haizhu pointed at Wang Meilan in the crowd and said to Jie Chen: "Is there a rich man coming to our supply and marketing cooperative?"
Jie Chen glanced at his brother-in-law, then turned to Zhao Jun and whispered: "Brother Jun, my aunt is buying cans."
"Your aunt?" Hearing this, Sun Haizhu glanced at Zhao Jun again and immediately reacted. He saw two salesmen, each holding two boxes of cans and walking out. The people around him couldn't help but talk about what he was really a rich man.
A bottle of canned food costs 75 cents, so you can buy that many.
"Ahem!" Sun Haizhu cleared his throat, stepped aside and approached Zhao Jun, lowered his head and whispered: "That's the new canned swordfish from our supply and marketing cooperative. It arrived the day before yesterday. There were four boxes in total. It's quite expensive, and I still have one bottle.
None of them were sold..."
At this point, Sun Haizhu suddenly shut up. He remembered that this person here is not short of money.
At this time, Zhao Jun didn't even listen to what Sun Haizhu said, because his attention was entirely on a middle-aged woman who was raising a child.
The little boy held by this woman kept shouting "Grandma, please go home", but the woman never moved, and her eyes stayed on Wang Meilan, who was so angry.
This inevitably made Zhao Jun feel vigilant. After all, he had gone to the town at the foot of the mountain to sell leather, and the incident of encountering robbers on the road was still vivid in his mind, so he had to be on guard against it.
"Yeah!" Wang Meilan turned around to leave, but when she turned around, she suddenly saw Zhao Jun outside the crowd.
As Wang Meilan walked towards Zhao Jun, although no one was leading the way, the crowd also separated.
Wang Meilan walked directly in front of Zhao Jun. She seemed to be in a happy mood and smiled at Zhao Jun: "Son, are you done?"
"Yes." Zhao Jun responded, and just as he was about to speak, he saw the woman taking the child walking towards him.
Just as Zhao Jun was about to step forward, he heard Jie Chen standing aside and introducing Wang Meilan and Jin Xiaomei: "Aunt Zhao, Aunt Li, this is my brother-in-law."
Zhao Jun suddenly came to his senses and hurriedly introduced Sun Haizhu: "Brother-in-law, this is my mother, and this is Baoyu's mother."
Sun Haizhu nodded to Wang and Li and said with a smile: "Aunt Zhao, Aunt Li, welcome. If my minister is left with you, it will cause you a lot of trouble."
"What's the trouble?" Wang Meilan said with a smile: "Jie Chen is such a good kid, he helps us a lot."
"That's right." Jin Xiaomei also said with a smile: "When you are not busy, take the children, Jiechen's sister, and your old mother-in-law, and your family will come."
"Hey, hey." Sun Haizhu agreed with a smile.
But at this moment, the woman stood behind Wang Meilan with her child. Seeing Wang Meilan talking to someone, she waited quietly.
Zhao Jun saw all this and took the opportunity to interrupt and ask Wang Meilan: "Mom, look at that aunt behind you, does she have something to do with you?"
"Yeah!" Wang Meilan turned around and recognized the woman at once, and asked, "What's wrong? Why haven't you left yet?"
The woman smiled at Wang Meilan, raised her finger and pointed at Zhao Jun, and asked Wang Meilan: "Sister, is this your son?"
"Ah!" Wang Meilan agreed, but she thought in her heart: "Why are these old ladies so trustworthy?"
After buying Jianlibao and Asian soda just now, the woman asked Wang Meilan if her family owned a store and if she came to the supply and marketing cooperative to purchase goods. Wang Meilan told her that she bought more things because her son was getting married. p>
But even so, it's not like he doesn't go home and just waits to see his son, right?
When the woman heard this, she pointed another finger and asked Wang Meilan, "Is this your son too?"
"That's not..." Wang Meilan replied again, but it felt wrong, so she asked: "Sister, what are you going to do?"
"Ah, it's okay." The woman never answered Wang Meilan's question directly, but continued to ask: "Sister, how many sons do you have in your family?"
"This is the only son in my family." After Wang Meilan said this, she saw the woman looked disappointed, turned around and left with her grandson.
Wang Meilan felt confused and looked at Sun Haizhu and asked: "Brother-in-law, do you still check household registration in this city?"
"No check, no check." Sun Haizhu seemed to understand something and said to Wang Meilan with a smile: "Aunt, we don't care about her. Look at what you still lack. If you don't have it now, I'll have someone give it to you overnight.
Tune."
"I won't buy it." Wang Meilan shook her head and said, "I'm going back now."
When Sun Haizhu heard this, he nodded slightly. He was the manager of this supply and marketing cooperative, so he just had to say what he said. He couldn't persuade his friends to buy things.
He couldn't persuade, but Zhao Jun could. After discovering that the middle-aged woman was not a bad person, Zhao Jun was relieved. He walked to Wang Meilan and said with a smile: "Mom, we finally came here, you see what should be done."
Whatever we bought, we will buy back."
Wang Meilan glanced at Zhao Jun, her eyes were very tangled, as if she wanted to buy it, but couldn't.
Seeing this, Zhao Jun hurriedly patted his pocket and said to Wang Meilan: "Mom, you don't have to think about anything else. Just see what else you need and we'll buy it."
But even if Zhao Jun said this, Wang Meilan shook her head, but said: "You can't buy it. If you buy it again, the car won't fit in it."
"What?" Zhao Jun was startled when he heard this, then realized what he was saying and hurriedly pushed aside the flow of people and walked out.
Zhao Jun left the supply and marketing cooperative and walked quickly to the car trunk. He saw that the bottom layer of the Jiefang brand car, which could pull wood, had been paved.
Beverage boxes, liquor boxes, can boxes, and seven or eight boxes of unknown contents.
Next to the side of the carriage, there are large sacks standing there. The sacks are all bulging.
Since the opening up, many private items have become free of tickets, but there are still restrictions on buying food.
Zhao Jun really couldn't figure out what his mother had bought besides food, which could hold several large bags.
In addition, there are eight large red cloth bundles, and I don’t know what they contain.
The most eye-catching thing is that there are three rows of soda boxes placed against the carriage, and Li Baoyu is lying on a makeshift bed made of soda boxes, reading a little book.
Hearing the sound of footsteps, Li Baoyu turned around and saw that it was Zhao Jun. He quickly stood up and sat upright. He smiled at Zhao Jun and said, "Brother, I should have brought a rope if I had known."
The road is bumpy, and without ropes, everything cannot be stacked and can only be placed against the bottom of the car.
"Haha." Zhao Jun chuckled when he heard this, but didn't say anything.
At this time, Wang Meilan, Jin Xiaomei, Jie Chen, and Sun Haizhu all followed. Looking at the results of two hours of hard work, Wang Meilan smiled on her face, and Jin Xiaomei might feel a little distressed. However, Jie Chen and Sun Haizhu were only shocked.
.
"Son!" Wang Meilan gave Zhao Jun a tug and said to him: "When you go back later, just like Baoyu, sit on the soda box."
"Ah, okay." This was not a problem for Zhao Jun, but when Wang Meilan turned her head and looked at the door of the supply and marketing cooperative reluctantly, Zhao Jun advised: "Mom, go back first, what else do we need?
Come back later."
"That's okay." Wang Meilan smiled, turned to Sun Haizhu and said: "His brother-in-law, that..."
As she spoke, Wang Meilan touched her thumbs with her thumbs, her index fingertips with her index fingertips, and her middle fingertips with her middle fingertips. She held her ring finger and little finger in her hand, made a circle gesture to Sun Haizhu, and said: "Such a big, round box of canned saury."
, if you want to restock, please leave me a few boxes."
"Don't worry, Mom." As soon as Wang Meilan finished speaking, Zhao Jun said from the side: "No one will buy it except you."
"Huh?" Wang Meilan turned her head, looked at Zhao Jun and said: "Son, you take that tin box with you when you run in the mountains in winter. When you eat, make a fire and put the can rack on the fire.
Is it warm?"
Zhao Jun suddenly realized what he said, and couldn't help but feel warm in his heart. He immediately responded: "Mom, you are right, we will buy it next time we come."
……
Five minutes later, the car slowly drove away from the door of the supply and marketing cooperative.
Sun Haizhu waved to Zhao Jun and Li Baoyu who were sitting in the car on the soda box, and then turned back to the supply and marketing cooperative.
When the car drove out of the town and saw no one on the road around, Zhao Jun stood up and squatted in front of the big red envelope, opening a gap to see what was inside.
"Brother." Li Baoyu said to Zhao Jun while sorting out the little people's books that Jin Xiaomei bought for him: "My mother and aunt bought them for the three of us, and they laid and built them after we got married."
"Paved? Covered?" Zhao Jun sat back on the soda tank and couldn't help but ask: "Isn't that just a bed?"
"Yes!" Li Baoyu said with a smile: "They are all ready-made, there is no need to make them. The quilts and covers are all bright red, depicting dragons and phoenixes."
When Zhao Jun heard this, he nodded and asked: "Dragon and Phoenix are auspicious?"
"Yes, yes."
Zhao Jun stretched out his hand and pointed, counting the big bundles, and asked: "Why are there so many? Eight bags, four sets for each of us?"
"The three of us!" Li Baoyu raised his hand, gestured with three fingers in front of Zhao Jun, and said, "You, me, and Ruhai."
"Ah?"
Seeing Zhao Jun's surprise, Li Baoyu said again: "My mother said, if you buy more, you can get 30 cents cheaper for one set."
At this point, Li Baoyu pointed to the baggage and explained to Zhao Jun: "We have two sets of bedding for each of the three of us. Those two small bags are clothes bought for Ma Ling and Liu Mei, hahaha..."
As he said that, Li Baoyu laughed and said, "My mother said, those clothes are really pretty."
Zhao Jun twitched the corners of his mouth, but said nothing more.
When the car drove into Yong'an Tun, it was almost eight o'clock. Under the night, Yong'an Tun was silent.
In the carriage, Wang Meilan told Jie Chen to drive slowly and try not to make any noise, so as not to cause the dogs to bark and disturb the fellow villagers who had already gone to bed.
Two minutes later, the car stopped in front of Zhao Jun's house. Listening to a few sporadic dog barks in the yard, Wang Meilan casually looked in and was stunned.
There are no lights on at home!
Wang Meilan's heart tightened, but at this moment Zhao Jun and Li Baoyu were on the carriage. They didn't care about taking anything. They both got out of the car and rushed straight to Zhao Jun's courtyard.
The two of them reacted faster than Wang Meilan, and they realized something was wrong just by hearing the barking of the dog at home.
They could tell that there were fewer dogs in the house.
As soon as Zhao Jun rushed into the yard, both the green dragon and the black dragon without ropes rushed towards him. Zhao Jun subconsciously feared that he would step on the black dragon, so he stopped suddenly, but his feet were firmly planted, but his upper body leaned forward and he almost fell down.
.
"Go to the other side!" Zhao Jun roared, scaring the green dragon and the black dragon to dodge aside. The black tiger howling under the eaves suddenly became silent and turned around and hid in its nest.
Zhao Jun rushed to the door in a few steps, opened the door forcefully, and entered the house.
At this time, in the northeastern mountainous area, the night temperature is about ten degrees above zero. If the kang is not burned in the house, the room will be very cold.
Zhao Jun took a look into the stove pit and saw that there was not even a spark, so he couldn't help but panic.
There are no sparks in this stove pit, which proves that this family has not been home at least all afternoon.
Where can Zhao Youcai take the two little girls? If he goes to Li's house, he has to burn the kang?
It's already eight o'clock, and it's time for the two little girls to go to bed. If we don't burn the kang, won't the room be cold?
At this time, Wang Meilan, Jin Xiaomei, and Jie Chen all followed in. After Wang Meilan entered the room, she was also confused.
There were a few dogs missing from the yard, but everyone's first reaction was that something had happened at home. Instead of Zhao Youcai taking the hunting dogs up the mountain to hunt.
After all, there are not many fathers who are so careless.
Moreover, just as Zhao Jun thought, even if Zhao Youcai took the two little girls out to visit relatives, they would not come back at night.
Of course, no one expected that this father would really be so up to no good.

"Hurry!" Jin Xiaomei supported Wang Meilan and shouted to Li Baoyu: "Call your dad and Ru Hai, and you go to the village to find your uncle!"
"Hey!" Zhao Jun reacted immediately and said, "That's not right, my uncle is at home!"
"Huh?" Wang Meilan also came to her senses at this time. Yes, when they entered the hospital just now, the lights in Li Dayong's house were still on. As long as Li Dayong is here, he should know if something happens to Zhao Youcai.
Thinking of this, everyone came out from Zhao Jun's house and came to the courtyard wall, intending to climb over the wall to visit Li's house.
When he was about to climb up the wall, Li Baoyu saw that there was no dog in his yard.
"Brother." Li Baoyu asked Zhao Jun: "Can my uncle go hunting?"
"No way!" Zhao Jun blurted out without thinking. What kind of father can be so careless? Leave the two girls behind and go hunting by yourself.
Besides, it’s not like I haven’t come back at this time!
But when he entered the courtyard of Li's house, he saw that all the dogs of Li Baoyu's family were gone. Zhao Jun sighed, turned around and supported Wang Meilan who came down from the wall, and said to her: "Mom, don't worry, my dad has gone to fight a siege."
”
"What kind of siege?" Wang Meilan didn't believe it when she heard it. She just said: "You are talking nonsense. Your father is doing siege. What about your sister?"
Zhao Jun raised his hand and gestured toward the room, saying: "Leave it at my Uncle Li's house."
"Yes, sister-in-law." Jin Xiaomei also said: "Look, all my dogs are gone."
"Oh my god." Upon hearing this, Wang Meilan hurriedly walked into the house.
Everyone opened the door and entered the house with a roar. When they heard the door opening, Li Dayong, who was sitting on the kang in the back room, turned around.
At this time, he was gnawing on the corn flour cake. The cake must be leftover. It was not even heated and the crumbs fell off as soon as he gnawed it.
"Mom!"
"Mom!"
Hearing only two cries, Zhao Hong and Zhao Na dropped their chopsticks, ran down from the kang, and rushed straight to Wang Meilan.
