Chapter 477. Li Ruhai goes to the market to buy books
Zhao Youcai was shocked when he saw Li Ruhai. Ever since Li Ruhai talked down Zhang Zhanshan and Dou Baoguo with just one mouth, this kid's mouth has become more and more powerful recently.
If there is anything going on, don’t let him know about it. If he knows about it, the whole village will know about it.
"Ruhai!" Zhao Youcai shouted towards the corner: "What are you doing?"
Hearing Zhao Youcai calling him, Li Ruhai appeared from behind the wall and greeted Zhao Youcai, saying: "Uncle."
Then, he nodded to Wang Qiang and shouted: "Uncle Wang."
"Hey." Wang Qiang responded, and then said to Zhao Youcai: "Brother-in-law, I'm going back first."
"Go back." Zhao Youcai waved his hand at Wang Qiang. After seeing Wang Qiang leave, he turned back to Li Ruhai and said, "I just met your Uncle Wang when I got off work."
Zhao Youcai wanted to ask Li Ruhai next, why didn't he go home for dinner at this time?
But the next second, I heard Li Ruhai say: "Uncle, have you gone hunting in the mountains these two days?"
"What?" When Zhao Youcai heard this, his heart suddenly changed and his expression changed, but Laojianghu was Laojianghu after all, so he pretended to be calm and said: "What nonsense is this kid talking about? My day..."
"Uncle." Li Ruhai turned aside, put his left shoulder close to Zhao Youcai, and whispered: "Zhao Hongliang's father in our class is in the security team of our forest farm. I asked him everything."
It's different to have ink in your belly. Li Ruhai's words all rhyme, but Zhao Youcai still doesn't believe that Li Ruhai really knows.
Li Ruhai noticed Zhao Youcai's contempt for him, so he counted with his fingers and said to Zhao Youcai: "On your first day, you went with a man named Xue Liwei, and he was killed by a cannon egg.
The next day, another man came, a relative of the Xue Liwei family. A man named Xue Baojun was an old gunner in our Yongan area. He fought tigers with you twenty years ago. He also has a son named
Xue Limin."
Having said this, seeing Zhao Youcai looking at him in astonishment, Li Ruhai raised his eyebrows at him and said, "Uncle, am I right?"
Zhao Youcai: "..."
After a while, Zhao Youcai spoke with difficulty and called out: "Like the sea."
"Hey, uncle." Li Ruhai's little face was full of expectation and curiosity, and he asked: "I haven't found out your whereabouts in the past two days. Please tell me, what are you doing with the cannon eggs?"
Are you beaten to death? Did the two hundred yuan bonus fall into your hands?"
"No!" At this time, Zhao Youcai was like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, almost jumping up from the ground.
He was startled by Zhao Youcai's loud voice, but Li Ruhai concluded that the two hundred yuan bonus was taken by Zhao Youcai. Otherwise, why would he have such a big reaction?
At this time, Zhao Youcai still didn't know that his affair had been exposed. He just thought that he couldn't let this kid Li Ruhai talk nonsense.
But silence cannot be silenced by force. Zhao Youcai thought that money could make people go around, so he wanted to try to see if money could make Li Ruhai, a little devil, shut up.
Zhao Youcai touched his pocket and took out a wad of money, but unlike Zhao Jun and Wang Meilan, who took out a bunch of money, the largest one Zhao Youcai took out was worth five yuan.
Thinking about tomorrow morning, he would go up the mountain and knock off the cannon eggs, and then get two hundred yuan. Zhao Youcai gritted his teeth, stamped his feet, and took out a one-yuan note, held it in front of Li Ruhai, waved it and asked:
"Ruhai, we have something to say, can we not talk about it?"
Li Ruhai's eyes kept following the one dollar. Last week, he went for a walk on the market with a few women from the village and found someone selling used books, including two sets of 90% new villain books.
One set is "Stories of the Spring and Autumn Period" and the other set is "Stories of the Warring States Period".
Li Ruhai casually flipped through two pages. Coincidentally, the "Stories of the Warring States Period" he turned over recorded the glorious deeds of Su Qin and Zhang Yi.
Li Ruhai only glanced at it and couldn't hold it in any longer. He was fascinated by people who could stir up troubles in the world with their sharp tongue, and he couldn't help but feel infinite admiration in his heart.
Li Ruhai then took out another copy of "Spring and Autumn Stories" to read. What's more coincidental, the two pages he turned happened to be the story of Yan Ying, a doctor of Qi State.
For a moment, Li Ruhai took a peek and thought that these two sets of books, more than a hundred volumes, were all about the anecdotes of lobbyists and politicians.
Therefore, even if the stall owner charged four yuan for two sets of books, Li Ruhai was determined to buy them.
After all, it’s hard to buy love with money, right?
It's just that Li Ruhai didn't bring any money at the time, so he asked several women traveling with him to borrow it, but they refused to return it.
No wonder, four yuan is enough for a family of four in this village for a month. Zhao Jun is still an inspector, and his salary is only about 40 yuan a month.
But they are not afraid that the Li family will not pay back the money, but they are afraid of being complained.
For a child to borrow such money to buy useless books, in the eyes of adults, this is ignorance. He is a child who is not sensible. As an adult, isn't he also ignorant? After borrowing the money, isn't it forcing the Li family to bear this amount?
Is it a necessary expense?
Li Ruhai, who didn't buy any books, made an agreement with the stall owner to go to the market this week and come back to buy books, and then he turned around and returned home.
In the next few days, when Li Ruhai thought of the little stories in the book, he didn't even feel the taste of eating meat. If it weren't for the new things happening in Shiliba Village, this child might not have been able to endure it long ago.
At this time, when he saw the dollar that Zhao Youcai was holding in front of him, Li Ruhai snatched it into his hand and stuffed it into his pocket. Then he patted his chest and assured Zhao Youcai, saying: "Take people's money to eliminate disasters for others! Uncle
, don’t worry.”
Zhao Youcai: "..."
What this child said is so unlucky.
But when he thought about the two hundred yuan reward he was about to receive, Zhao Youcai didn't care about it and instead took Li Ruhai home.
"Uncle." Li Ruhai asked in a low voice as he walked away: "In the past two days, the security team has not been to Xinrangchang, and my classmates don't know what's going on. Have you lost all the eggs from the cannon?" p>
"No!" Zhao Youcai glanced around nervously, and when he saw no one there, he said to Li Ruhai: "Don't mention this matter, what are you asking about?"
"Oh." Li Ruhai reluctantly agreed, but he had already determined in his heart that Zhao Youcai must have shot the eggs. Otherwise, why would Zhao Youcai use money to silence himself?
It was only after 6:10 when the two arrived home. But at this time, Li Dayong and Li Baoyu had not arrived home yet.
Zhao Youcai and Li Ruhai went back to their respective homes. Before entering the yard, Zhao Youcai repeatedly told Li Ruhai to keep his mouth shut.
When Zhao Youcai entered the house, he saw that the table was full of messy cups and plates, and there were also a lot of badger bones piled up. He couldn't help but asked, "Why did you eat them all?"
"It's early to cook today, so we didn't wait for you." Wang Meilan smiled faintly, and there was no trace of it on her face, and said, "I'll keep it all for you. I'll heat it up for you and you can eat it."
"Ah, that's okay..." Zhao Youcai didn't notice the murderous intention hidden in Wang Meilan's calm tone, nor did he notice the trace of pity in his son's eyes.
Wang Meilan served the leftover food to Zhao Youcaisheng, and Zhao Jun also went to the outhouse to bring him wine.
What Zhao Jun wanted was to let him eat and drink enough before he was dealt with.
Seeing the wine, vegetables, and rice on the table, Zhao Youcai sighed that while the days were getting better and better, he also believed that life would be better in the future.
But at this moment, Wang Meilan said to Zhao Jun and Xie Chen: "You two take your sister to the cellar, and each of you can get a bottle of soda to drink."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Hong and Zhao Na immediately cheered, pulling Zhao Jun and Xie Chen out.
Watching the four people go out, Wang Meilan slowly moved to the edge of the kang and picked up the small broom used to sweep the kang.
This small broom, about a cubit long, is made of sorghum millet, with a thin spike in the front and a handle tied with sorghum poles in the back.
Wang Meilan grabbed the front of the small broom and knocked the hard broom handle at the back on the palm of her other hand. When she looked at Zhao Youcai again, her eyes were full of evil.
At this time, Zhao Youcai was still drinking with his head tilted back, completely unaware that the danger was approaching him step by step.
Wang Meilan looked back and saw through the window that the minister had taken Zhao Hong down to the cellar, while Zhao Na and Zhao Jun were waiting above.
Zhao Na held Zhao Jun's big hand with her small hand and looked anxiously at the cellar entrance.
This is the time!
Wang Meilan suddenly raised one foot and stepped on the edge of the kang. With a strong force on her foot, she lifted her whole body up onto the kang.
Zhao Youcai, who was about to pick up the badger meat, was startled. He looked up and saw the broomstick hitting him all over his head and face. He subconsciously raised his arms to resist.
"Miss, Miss." In front of the cellar, Zhao Na called out to Zhao Hong and said, "Come up here and drink with me."
Hearing what the little girl said, Zhao Jun couldn't help but laugh. He was just a foodie, and he cared about eating and drinking in just one day.
It was peaceful outside the house, but it was miserable inside. But Wang Meilan was very measured and did not say hello to Zhao Youcai's face, and Zhao Youcai blocked many attacks with his arm.
After a few hits, Wang Meilan stopped, threw the broom aside, pretended that nothing was wrong, and went to work in the outhouse, leaving only Zhao Youcai rubbing his elbows with the palm of his hand.
Although Wang Meilan didn't say anything and just hit her, the smart Zhao Youcai knew that Wang Meilan must have found out about her skipping work.
Wang Meilan walked around the outer room and saw that the four children had not returned yet, so she quickly walked to the inner room.
Seeing Wang Meilan leaving and returning, Zhao Youcai hurriedly went to the kang to get together, but Wang Meilan didn't do anything this time. He just pointed at Zhao Youcai and said: "Get up early tomorrow, I'll take the commuter bus with you and take you to work!"
"Ah?" When Zhao Youcai heard this, his face instantly turned pale.
His family, Zhao Hong, goes to preschool and Zhao Na goes to kindergarten without being sent to school. He, Zhao Youcai, is already such an old man. If his wife sends him to work every day, he doesn’t have to live anymore. He can just find a ditch and plunge into it.<
/p>
"Lan Na, there's nothing else!" For a moment, Zhao Youcai didn't care about eating or drinking. He hurriedly got off the kang and promised Wang Meilan that he would go to work at the forest farm early tomorrow morning and would definitely not go hunting.<
/p>
It's just that when he said this, Zhao Youcai's heart was bleeding. He walked around in that mountainous area for several days. He suffered no less sins and suffered no less tiredness. He was just one shot away from tomorrow, but something happened.
Something unexpected happened.
But at this time, Zhao Youcai did not dare to make demands or negotiate conditions, so he could only grit his teeth and promise to go to work well.
Wang Meilan glared at Zhao Youcai and gritted her teeth in anger. She was angry because she was angry that Zhao Youcai was not doing anything serious. During the holiday that day, he abandoned his two daughters at home and went hunting by himself.
But if I don't go to work for four days in a row, this kind of thing is considered nonsense these days.
Another thing is that Wang Meilan didn't know that Zhao Youcai had dragged Wang Qiang into the water, and thought he was going to fight alone. Hearing that the cannon egg had picked people to death, Wang Meilan was afraid that Zhao Youcai would make some mistake.
But there were guests at home, and Zhao Youcai admitted his mistake again and made a promise. Wang Meilan couldn't argue with him, so she just gave Zhao Youcai another hard look.
Zhao Youcai weakly retreated to the back room to eat, while Wang Meilan cleaned up the stove, and soon saw Zhao Hong and Zhao Na coming in with a bottle of soda, asking Zhao Youcai to help them open it.
At this time, Zhao Jun and his ministers were talking to Li Baoyu outside.
Zhao Jun wanted to give the soda in his hand to Li Baoyu, but Li Baoyu didn't want it. According to Li Baoyu, he also had some at home. If he wanted to drink it, he would take it himself.
When Li Baoyu refused to answer, Zhao Jun refused to let him go. He only asked, "Baoyu, are you busy tomorrow?"
"It's okay." Li Baoyu smiled and said, "I'll go up the mountain with you tomorrow."
Speaking of this, Li Baoyu saw Zhao Jun nodding and asked, "Brother, where are we going?"
After Zhao Jun heard this, he looked back at his house and saw no one coming out, so he called the two of them together and whispered: "Don't tell others, we will go up the mountain tomorrow to shoot the cannon egg that picked three people to death." "Oh!" Li Baoyu clapped his hands and said, "That pig is amazing. I heard that two groups of dogs surrounded it, but they didn't even trap it, and the dogs even let it kill many of them."
"Yeah." Zhao Jun responded: "When beating a pig like this, the harder the dog is, the more likely it is to be injured and picked."
This is the truth. You have to be like the fat and tabby cat before, who won’t be injured for two years and won’t be afraid of any pigs you encounter.
When Li Baoyu heard this, he glanced back and forth between the two courtyards and muttered: "Now... we don't have any naughty dogs anymore."
Speaking of this, Li Baoyu and Zhao Jun looked at each other, and they both looked in front of Zhao Jun's house.
The black tiger is lying there, using one paw to scratch his lower eyelid, from the eye to the mouth, and then raising the paw to scratch again, just like a person washing his face.
After putting down his claws, Black Tiger suddenly saw the two men looking directly at him, and he turned around and ran into the den.
"Brother." Li Baoyu asked Zhao Jun, "Can I take it with me?"
"It's not hurt anyway." Zhao Jun responded with a smile, and then said: "Tomorrow let's go up to the mountain to have a look, observe, and observe the mountain field."
……
Early the next morning, Zhao Jun and Jie Chen got up early and had breakfast cooked by Zhao Youcai. They called Li Baoyu next door and left the house with only Black Tiger in hand.
After the two left, Zhao Youcai washed the dishes diligently. When he came out of the house to pour the dirty water, Zhao Youcai met Li Dayong.
Zhao Youcai asked Li Dayong: "Brother, where is your family like the sea?"
"He went to the market early in the morning." Speaking of this, Li Dayong added: "I went with Qi Dachuan's wife and the others. I heard him say that he wanted to buy some books."
"It's over!" At this time, Zhao Youcai knew that he had added another dollar.
