This morning, when Zhou Jianjun went to work at the forest farm, he met Zhang Guoqing, the director of the canteen. The two were chatting while walking. Zhang Guoqing asked casually: "What's going on at home with your father-in-law? I'm asking for leave. He hasn't been here for several days."
Go to work."
Four days ago, Zhao Youcai asked Han Dachun to send a message to Zhang Guoqing on his behalf, saying that he had something to do at home and would take a few days off.
Zhang Guoqing couldn't agree to it without seeing anyone, but he couldn't understand that Zhao Youcai's son would not get married until later in the year, and he didn't need to clean up the land at home, and the house had been built, so what else could he be busy with at this time? This happened to meet Zhou Jianjun, and Zhang Guoqing also had nothing to say, so he took the time to inquire.
But when he inquired, Zhou Jianjun felt something was wrong. These days, when he went to the cafeteria to prepare meals at noon, he did not see his father-in-law. But he did not think much about it. After all, Zhao Youcai was a master chef in charge of serving dishes.
Whether he does it or not depends entirely on his own will.
But now when he heard that Zhao Youcai had taken several days off, and the reason for taking leave was because of family matters, Zhou Jianjun became concerned.
As there was no work or inspection today, Zhou Jianjun took the morning off, borrowed a bicycle from his colleagues, and went straight to Yong'an Village.
Before entering the house just now, Zhou Jianjun looked around and felt that there didn't seem to be anything going on in the house.
And looking at my old mother-in-law’s face, she doesn’t look like she has anything difficult or troublesome.
After entering the house, there was no sign of Zhao Youcai, so Zhou Jianjun couldn't help but ask.
Wang Meilan was stunned for a moment by his question, but she quickly realized that her whole body felt bad instantly.
To listen to people speaking, you have to listen to the sound.
Wang Meilan only heard Zhou Jianjun's words and knew that Zhao Youcai had not gone to work in the forest farm recently, but she still subconsciously asked a question.
When asked by Wang Meilan, Zhou Jianjun was also stunned. Not only could he listen to music, but he could also observe words and expressions.
Wang Meilan's face was rosy and happy just now, but now her face was gloomy, looking like she was about to get angry.
Although Zhou Jianjun didn't know what Zhao Youcai was doing, he could guess that his father-in-law took leave and skipped work, and he must have hidden it from his mother-in-law.
"Oh my god." Zhou Jianjun stood up slightly and carefully said to Wang Meilan: "There is something else going on at my unit, so I'll leave first."
As he said that, Zhou Jianjun was about to leave.
"Stop." Wang Meilan raised her hand and slapped the kang table, causing the enamel jar to tremble. Zhao Hong and Zhao Na who were eating cakes on the kang were startled, and Zhou Jianjun stood frozen on the spot.
Zhou Jianjun suddenly had the feeling that when he came back with Zhao Chun after the year, Wang Meilan was still the same as before, kind-hearted and amiable.
But since the last time she went to her home and dragged her father-in-law back, Zhou Jianjun discovered that her mother-in-law had changed.
Zhou Jianjun feels right. As the old saying goes: money is a man's courage, now Wang Meilan is the richest man in the village. If left in the past, she would have been a proper landlord!
Being stared at by Wang Meilan, Zhou Jianjun quickly coughed and said with a smile: "Oh my god, I just heard from the director of our cafeteria that my dad asked him to take several days off because he had something to do at home.
I asked in detail and said that my dad hadn’t gone to work for four days. I was thinking about my family and you, so I hurriedly borrowed a bicycle and came over to take a look."
"Four days!" When Wang Meilan heard this, she became furious and her voice became much higher. She asked Zhou Jianjun: "He also said there is something going on at home?"
"Hmm... um." Zhou Jianjun nodded and said, "I also heard what Zhang Guoqing said. It seems that my dad asked Han Dachun to ask for leave for him, saying that there was something going on at home. So... I'm worried." p>
Wang Meilan's chest heaved violently with anger, but after hearing what Zhou Jianjun said, she suddenly thought that this was done by Zhao Youcai, a non-human guy, and had nothing to do with her son-in-law. What's more, this son-in-law is so filial. When she heard that something was wrong with her father-in-law's family,
, I asked for leave and ran here.
"Jianjun." Thinking of this, Wang Meilan hurriedly asked Zhou Jianjun to sit down and said to him: "Don't be in a hurry to go back. We will stay at home for lunch. Xiaojun and the others should be back in a while."
"Hey!" Zhou Jianjun responded, but saw Wang Meilan going out of the house. After a while, she came back with a net bag and a butter paper bag.
Zhou Jianjun didn't know what was in the butter paper bag, but there were four cans of Jianlibao in the net bag.
"Ouch." Zhou Jianjun was shocked when he saw Jianlibao and asked quickly: "Mom, do we still have this at home? Where did you get it done?"
"Bought it!" Wang Meilan put the net bag and butter paper bag in front of Zhou Jianjun, and said with a smile: "Our family's conditions are good. I went to Lingnan a few days ago, and when I saw this, I bought two boxes and came back to try it." p>
After saying that, Wang Meilan pointed to the net bag and butter paper bag again, and said: "Mom brought these for you, don't forget them before you leave."
"Hey." Zhou Jianjun responded, hooked up the string that tied the butter paper bag with his fingers, and asked Wang Meilan, "Mom, what is here?"
After listening to Zhou Jianjun's question, Wang Meilan took out a handful of naughty things from her pocket and slapped them on the table. She pointed at them when she raised her hand and said with a smile: "I gave you some of this. You can eat a piece first and keep your mouth shut." Seeing Wang Meilan photographing the little naughty boy, Zhao Hong and Zhao Na forgot about Wang Meilan's majesty just now and both rushed over.
Wang Meilan hurriedly stopped the two of them, took out a few pieces from her pocket, and handed them to the two little girls.
Zhou Jianjun looked at Zhao Hong, and Zhao Na skillfully peeled off the candy wrapper, put the candy and the glutinous rice paper into her mouth, then pushed it with her tongue and pushed it into the side of her cheek.
In an instant, the little girls’ faces bulged.
At this time, Zhou Jianjun realized that his father-in-law had really lost his temper. In this mountain village, one pound of sugar balls for this little naughty boy could be exchanged for ten pounds of sugar balls. Most people would have to think twice before buying half a pound of sugar balls for their children.
, thinking about it.
But my two sisters-in-law don’t seem to be surprised at all when it comes to eating Little Naughty Naughty Food, and they seem to eat it often.
Zhou Jianjun looked at the butter paper bag placed next to his legs. He just hooked it with his fingers, but after weighing it, this bag probably weighed nearly two kilograms.
I think of my father, the dignified forest farm secretary, who only brought home half a pound of candy this year during May Day.
The most pitiable thing was his daughter-in-law Zhao Chun. After eating another piece, he hid her portion and hid the rest, probably waiting to bring it to her sister to eat when she returned to her parents' home.<
/p>
Zhou Jianjun was thinking about what Zhao Chun would think after taking these two pounds of candy home.
"Jianjun." Seeing that Zhou Jianjun didn't speak and didn't eat candy, Wang Meilan called him in a low voice and said, "Pick up a piece of that candy and eat it. It's quite sweet."
"Hey, hey." Zhou Jianjun responded twice, and hurriedly opened a piece of naughty stuff and put it in his mouth.
At this time, Zhou Jianjun heard Wang Meilan say again: "In the past two days, someone has come to the house, and he is a friend of Zhao Jun."
"Ah." Zhou Jianjun was confused when he heard Wang Meilan's words. He didn't understand what Wang Meilan meant. He just followed Wang Meilan's words and continued: "It's a good thing for our little army to make more friends."
"Well, yes." Wang Meilan glanced at the two little girls next to her who didn't understand sugar, and whispered to Zhou Jianjun: "They will come back later, don't say that your dad took leave and didn't go to work." p>
"Ah..." Zhou Jianjun understood this time. His father-in-law took leave and did not go to work. He didn't have a home, and no one knew what he was doing. This kind of thing was only known to his family, but he wanted to let outsiders know.
, I’m afraid it will be a joke.
Zhou Jianjun naturally agreed, but he was worried that Zhao Youcai would not do anything extraordinary, so he asked Wang Meilan: "Mom, you said... what can my dad do?"
"What else can we do?" Wang Meilan sighed and said, "I must have gone hunting."
"Ah?" As soon as Wang Meilan said this, Zhou Jianjun suddenly realized that he had seen his father-in-law's persistence in hunting. It was really an investment regardless of the cost. One by one, the lambs headed northeast without blinking an eye.
Feeding from the leopard's mouth.
If I don’t have enough lamb to feed, I’ll spend 80 yuan to buy a big ewe.
But at this time, Zhou Jianjun suddenly remembered something. He remembered that when Zhao Jun was on vacation, he called Zhao Jun and asked Zhao Jun to help him catch some prey and give him gifts. He also said that if Zhao Jun was too busy, he could ask Zhao Youcai for help.<
/p>
Could it be that Zhao Youcai went hunting for him?
Thinking of this, Zhou Jianjun felt a little panicked. If his father-in-law skipped work to hunt for his own sake, then he would have to live with him.
Zhou Jianjun thought that instead of waiting to be exposed by his father-in-law, it would be better to confess on his own initiative, so Zhou Jianjun said to Wang Meilan: "Mom, I told Xiaojun before that he would help me hunt down two roe deer and two wild boars. Isn't my dad right?"
Are you helping me with my work too?"
"That's not him!" Wang Meilan waved her hand and said, "He must have gone to kill the cannon egg!"
……
As the saying goes: No one knows more than his father.
Likewise, it is better to know your husband than your wife.
At this moment, Zhao Youcai and Wang Qiang were carrying coils of wire nooses on their backs and undoing the nooses on both sides of the newly built firewood transport road.
Go down to the south, and go down to the north too.
Their plan is that throughout the whole day today, they will set up traps at certain places they must pass on both sides of the mountain.
Then get up early tomorrow and stop the cannon eggs from nesting. Even if you let it run away, there will still be a trap waiting for it.
"Qiangzi, work harder!" Zhao Youcai kept encouraging Wang Qiang, saying: "Come tomorrow morning, we will destroy it, and that's two hundred yuan! Then you will get one hundred, and I will
One hundred!"
When Wang Qiang heard this, he didn't say anything. He just used a curved saw to saw the colored tree. After knocking the colored tree down, he tied it to the other end of the wire sheath to make a pulling stick.
Seeing that Wang Qiang didn't answer, Zhao Youcai glanced at him and said to himself: "When I get the money tomorrow, I'll go to the cafeteria the day after tomorrow and then come out to see my Erhei."
……
While Zhao Youcai and Wang Qiang were working hard for two hundred yuan, Zhang Yuanmin and his ministers walked down the mountain carrying a roe deer.
This roe deer was not big, about forty pounds, and it was a female. It had its feet stepped on and was forced to stay in the forest. Zhao Jun was asked to lead someone to tie it up.
Unlike when picking out badgers, Zhao Jun was the main force in capturing the roe deer, and Zhang Yuanmin and his ministers had to do the work of carrying the roe deer.
As the three of them walked down, Zhang Yuanmin said to Zhao Jun: "Brother, you have caught three roe deer here. Do you have to change places tomorrow?"
Zhao Jun was startled when he heard this, blinked twice, and asked Zhang Yuanmin: "Brother, do you know where else there are traces of roe deer?"
"I don't know about this." Zhang Yuanmin shook his head and said, "I don't usually hunt roe deer. Are you talking about the badger hole? I know one, but I can't dig it out."
"Ah?" As soon as Zhang Yuanmin finished speaking, Jie Chen asked in confusion: "Brother, with your skills, are there any badger holes that you can't dig out?"
Zhang Yuanmin chuckled and said: "That's a stone cave. Chen Dalai found it a while ago. He didn't dig it out, so he found me. I went over and took a look. There were stones and yellow sand above the hole. I dug it down four times.
Five meters long, it’s all just stones. It would be dangerous for me to drill into this hole, and it would be too troublesome to dig it out, so I didn’t dig it out.”
Hearing that Zhang Yuanmin still knew the depth, Zhao Jun said with a smile: "Brother, you are very good at picking badgers. Brother, I also have a trick, which is even more powerful. Let's keep this hole for now. When October 1st comes, brother will also show you a trick."
."
"Yo!" Zhang Yuanmin's eyes lit up. He knew that Zhao Jun was not a big talker. As long as Zhao Jun said he could do it, he would definitely be able to do it. But the stone hole is the most difficult to dig out, and it may not be possible even with a pickaxe.
Can be opened.
"Brother Jun!" Jie Chen asked because he didn't understand, and asked Zhao Jun: "Why do you have to wait until October 1st?"
Zhao Jun said with a smile: "The last time we went out to hunt wild boars, I told you that you need to know the mountain topography and the habits of wild animals when hunting. In fact, the seasonal climate is also very important. In autumn, where are the wild boars and roe deer? Here we are.
It's autumn, where are the wild boars? You must know this to find prey."
Jie Chen was dumbfounded when he heard this, but he didn't expect that there was such a great knowledge in the siege. Zhang Yuanmin, who was walking in front with the roe deer on his shoulders, said to Jie Chen: "What your brother Jun said, according to our art of war, it is the timing of the weather."
, the location is favorable, the people are harmonious!”
When Zhang Yuanmin said this, Jie Chen felt even more unclear and serious, but how did he know that Zhang Yuanmin was a master who used villain's books as military tactics?
At this time, Zhang Yuanmin said to Zhao Jun: "Brother, don't you know an old man who sets roe deer traps in the mountains? Go and ask him. When the time comes, you can catch the roe deer, and you can give him one or two." "Yes!" Zhao Jun thought with a thought, "I'll go see my third uncle tomorrow. He will definitely know where the roe deer is!"
The three of them went to the car and threw the roe deer into the trunk. They got into the car and Jie Chen drove. Zhang Yuanmin and Zhao Jun, who were crowded in the passenger seat, talked about the mother roe deer.
"Brother, does the male roe deer join the herd in summer?"
Zhang Yuanmin's words reminded Zhao Jun. Male roe deer join the group before and after the Dragon Boat Festival. After joining the group, they make circles to mate.
It stands to reason that all female roe deer now should be pregnant, but the months are not enough to show pregnancy!
