In the first cafeteria, behind the No. 1 window, Zhao Youcai sat there listlessly, leaning on his chin in one hand, and holding the spoon for cooking in the other hand, and kept tapping the spoon lightly on the pot lid.
When Zhao Youcai sent Wang Qiang out of the village this morning, it was agreed upon. As long as Wang Qiang killed the cannon egg, he would immediately go to the forest farm to find him. Then Zhao Youcai would show up, find people, and find a car to take the wild boar back to the forest farm for replacement.
Reward money.
But after waiting eagerly all morning, Wang Qiang didn't come. The longer Zhao Youcai waited, the more unsure he felt. Now he was wondering if something had happened to Wang Qiang, otherwise, he shouldn't have stopped coming.
When he thought of this, Zhao Youcai couldn't even sit on the bench. He no longer cared about the two hundred yuan. What he cared about was his brother-in-law.
……
Just when Zhao Youcai was thinking wildly, the courtyard of Zhao Jun's house was full of laughter and laughter.
Wang Meilan and Jin Xiaomei were cooking in the house, while Zhao Jun, Li Baoyu, Zhang Yuanmin, and Jie Chen were in the courtyard, chatting and cutting up the braised wild boar meat.
They divided the wild boar meat into portions, about five pounds each, and twisted them all with thin wires.
Although the wild boar meat is arranged in this way, Zhao Jun is not going to the market to buy meat. Instead, he asks Li Baoyu to take all the meat to the unit when he goes to work tomorrow and distribute it to his colleagues in the motorcade.
This was Zhao Jun's suggestion. As soon as Li Baoyu went to work, he asked for leave every now and then. Although Lin Xiang took care of it, as time went by, his colleagues would definitely have objections.
Therefore, we need to win over everyone. As long as we can win over one third, Li Baoyu can stand in the convoy.
Zhao Jun had to do this kind of thing after the Mid-Autumn Festival. Although he was ordered to go home to hunt, his colleagues all went to work, and he didn't go to work. If it lasted for a long time, some people would definitely be dissatisfied.
But if you catch some prey in the mountains, you take what you don’t want to eat, or what you can’t eat, and share it with your colleagues. The colleagues then eat the meat, and even if they have ideas, they are too embarrassed to say it openly.
.
After all, it’s not easy to take advantage of others.
Of course, there must be some who are not familiar with feeding, but I will not feed such people in the future.
And meat like this cannon egg is so sexy and bad that even Zhang Yuanmin doesn't want it. Isn't it just a favor?
Zhao Jun and the others are dividing the meat here, while in the other corner of the yard, three little girls, Zhao Hong, Zhao Na, and Li Xiaoqiao, are eating fruit around a small square table.
Northeastern farm fruits include plums, sand fruits, jujubes and yellow mushrooms.
By this time, there were no more plums. The yellow mushroom lady was about to leave the garden, but it was the time to eat sand fruits and soft dates.
Zhao Jun's family has both of these, but the round dates are picked by Yang Yufeng from the mountain. The sago fruits are grown on Lin Xiangshun's tree. This early September is when the sago fruits are ripe, slightly sour and sweet, with a hint of rock sugar.
Heart, Lin Xiangshun’s wife picked a basket this morning and brought it to Wang Meilan.
"Baoyu." As Zhao Jun spoke, he shaved off two small pieces of tenderloin and set them aside. These two pieces of meat are slightly tenderer than other parts and can be kept for cooking.
"Brother, what happened?"
Zhao Jun raised his head, took a look at Li Baoyu's house, and asked: "What is Ruhai doing in the house? I saw him coming back and entering the house. You call him over and eat some fruit or something."
"Haha..." When Zhao Jun asked, Li Baoyu laughed and said, "That boy skipped school this morning and my mother beat him up."
"This stinky boy." Zhao Jun muttered and ignored him. But when he saw Li Baoyu grabbing the hind leg of a wild boar and picking up an ax to chop it, Zhao Jun quickly stopped him and said, "Baoyu,
Keep this thigh."
"Ah?" When Li Baoyu heard this, he didn't ask much and just put the wild boar leg aside.
Zhao Jun explained to him: "I'm thinking that after lunch, we go up the mountain again, go to the cellar to see the third uncle of the Xing family, and ask him where there are traces of roe deer, and then we can catch them." "Ah!" Hearing Zhao Jun say that he wanted to visit Xing San, Li Baoyu slapped his thigh and said: "Brother, if you didn't mention him, I would have forgotten about him. Last time you asked me to deliver wine to the third uncle, he still returned
Let me tell you something."
"What's going on?" When Zhao Jun heard this, he quickly asked Li Baoyu. The last time he asked Li Baoyu to deliver wine to Xing San was before he went to Xinlangchang. It had been nearly a month. If he had
Li Baoyu wouldn't be able to remember Xing San if he didn't mention it. If there was something important, wouldn't it have been delayed?
Li Baoyu said: "That third uncle, let me tell you, help him pay attention to whether there is that large pine board..."
"I understand!" Before Li Baoyu finished speaking, Zhao Jun understood what Xing San wanted to do.
This is not a matter of urgency, but it is a big deal.
……
This lunch meal is quite ordinary.
It is the so-called Northeast stew, pork belly stewed with beans, potatoes, corn, melon, and vermicelli.
Just this one dish stewed a large pot full of it.
Because Zhao Jun said there was something else to do in the afternoon, no one drank. After dinner, we chatted in the house for a while, and then Li Baoyu drove, pulling Zhao Jun, Zhang Yuanmin, and Jie Chen out of the house.
Before leaving the village, the car stopped at the entrance of the small shop. Zhao Jun got out of the car and bought some dry food for Xing San, as well as two barrels of soy sauce and a barrel of vinegar.
Then, the car went all the way out of the village and straight into the mountain field.
There was no way to park around Xing San's cellar, so the car parked on the firewood road at the bottom of the mountain. After the four people got off the car, they carried their things up the mountain and walked for about 20 minutes before arriving in front of the cellar.
Before the four of them arrived at the cellar, they heard the faint sound of a dog barking in front of them.
Zhao Jun looked at Li Baoyu and asked: "The third uncle has a dog?"
"No!" Li Baoyu said: "Last time I came here, I didn't see him raising a dog."
When Zhao Jun came outside the underground cellar, he shouted inside: "Third uncle, third uncle, I am Zhao Jun, I'm here to see you!"
Zhao Jun shouted, but the only response was the barking of dogs.
"This old man has probably gone into the mountains." Zhao Jun said to the three of them, then put down the soy sauce bucket in his hand and searched around the front and back of the house.

But there was no trace of Xing San. Zhao Jun and others returned to the front of the cellar. But as they stood here, the dogs inside kept barking. However, Zhao Jun came specifically to see Xing San, and Xing San did not come back.
He just wants to wait here.
As for waiting inside the underground cellar, Zhao Jun decided not to think about it. If he went in now, he would definitely have a conflict with the dog.
Although he didn't know why Xing San kept the dog in the house, Zhao Jun decided to wait outside the cellar, and if the dog wanted to bark, just let it bark.
Anyway, it wasn’t cold in the mountains in the afternoon, so the four of them sat down in front of the cellar and chatted about everything. Suddenly, they heard someone shouting from behind the room: “Who is it?”
Xing San is back!
Zhao Jun stood up quickly and responded: "Third uncle, it's me!"
"Oh! Zhao Jun!" Xing San hasn't shown up yet, but there is a hint of surprise in his voice.
Zhao Jun led the three men to the back of the house to greet him, but saw Xing San walking down the hill quickly, carrying a basket on his back.
"Third uncle!" Zhao Jun and Li Baoyu came forward to greet him. Li Baoyu took the basket and looked inside. It turned out that Xing San was carrying corn sticks.
Xing San held Zhao Jun's hand with one hand, pointed to the northeast with the other, and said with a smile: "I will open two acres of land over there and plant corn. If there is nothing else to do this day, I will go back and memorize some."
/p>
When Zhao Jun heard this, he said: "Third uncle, we are here just in time. You lead us over, and we will collect them for you."
"No, no need!" Xing San grabbed Zhao Jun's hand and walked to his cellar. As he walked, he said, "You came just in time. I was looking for something to do with you."
Hearing Xing San's words, Zhao Jun thought he was going to tell him about the pine board, so he said: "Third uncle, I know everything, so don't worry..."
Before Zhao Jun finished speaking, Xing San said: "Your father asked you to come here? No wonder you came here today."
"what?"
But it's strange to talk about Xing San and Zhao Youcai. In Zhao Jun's previous life, although Hu Mantang was in the middle, Zhao Youcai and Xing San only met once on the day of Xing Zhiyong's wedding.
Seeing that Zhao Jun didn't answer, Xing San was not surprised. He took off the wire hanging on the door handle, pushed the door open and shouted: "Stop calling, look who's coming!"
Zhao Jun was even more confused when he heard Xing San's words. He could tell that Xing San was talking to the dog in the cellar, but it seemed as if the dog should know him.
However, at this time, Zhao Jun didn't even think that the dog was brought back by Zhao Youcai. He thought that Xing San knew that he loved dogs and got it for him specially.
Thinking of this, Zhao Jun couldn't help but feel a little curious, and quickly followed Xing San to the underground cellar to take a look.
But as soon as he entered the cellar, he saw a black dog lying on the kang, wagging its tail at Xing San.
But when Zhao Jun came in, the black dog roared viciously at Zhao Jun.
"Stop barking!" Xing San raised his hand and patted the black dog on the head, making the black tiger stop barking, and then said: "Your master is here, why are you still biting?"
Hearing Xing San's words, Zhao Jun concluded that Xing San had rehabilitated this dog for him. Although the black dog was injured, Zhao Jun knew that this dog was the result of the fierce look in its eyes just now.
Not bad.
As for the dog's injuries, just take care of them.
This Zhao Jun is confident. After all, he has brought out all the lame dogs.
"Third uncle!" Zhao Jun came to the Kang to watch the dog, but also asked Xing San, "Where did you groom the dog?"
"Huh?"
"From my family?" At this time, Zhao Jun realized that there was something hidden in this, and it was definitely not what he thought. But even at this time, he did not think about Zhao Youcai, and only asked: "Third uncle, how can you say that
Is this my dog?"
"Your dad brought it!" Xing San said this with a smile on his face, but seeing Zhao Jun's shocked face, Xing San hurriedly asked: "Didn't your dad tell you?"
For a moment, Zhao Jun didn't know what to say. If he said he didn't know, he would still have to wonder what was going on between the two of them. But if he said he knew, Zhao Jun really didn't know.
But Zhao Jun had some suspicions in his heart, so he tentatively said to Xing San: "Ah, my dad seemed to have mentioned it to me, was this dog...did he pick it up in the mountains?"
When Zhao Jun arrived at the edge of the kang just now, he saw that the black dog had been seriously injured, and it looked like the wound was a recent one.
Zhao Jun thought that even if Zhao Youcai bought a dog, he would not buy an injured dog. He probably picked up this dog in the mountains.
Don't tell me, Zhao Jun really guessed it right. After hearing what he said, not only Xing San, but also Li Baoyu and the others believed it.
Zhao Jun couldn't ask Xing San how he and Zhao Youcai got connected. He only complained in his heart that Zhao Youcai was becoming more and more out of tune, digging holes for himself every day.
A few days ago, I had a check at a small store, and I was so embarrassed that I couldn't get off the stage. Today at Xing San's place, I almost didn't embarrass myself.
"Zhao Jun." Xing San said, pushing the black dog aside. After the black dog lay down, he pointed to the wound on the black dog's belly and said to Zhao Jun: "Look, this place.
It’s been serious these past two days.”
As he spoke, Xing San reached out and pressed his fingers on the black dog's wound.
As soon as Xing San pressed it, the black dog jumped up and immediately stood up. Zhao Jun on the side saw that although the wound on the black dog's belly had been sutured with needles and threads, the flesh had bulged inside. As Xing San
As soon as I pressed it, blood came out from the stitched place.
"Third uncle." At this time, Li Baoyu asked from the side: "Why hasn't this dog been given an anti-inflammatory shot?"
"Baoyu!" Zhao Jun heard this and immediately shouted: "What are you talking about?"
"It's okay, it's okay." Xing San, who had seen Li Baoyu ride a wild boar, knew that this young man was reckless and didn't care about him. He just smiled and said: "There is nothing here, and I can't give him an injection." p>
At this time, Li Baoyu already knew that he was wrong. He loved dogs. When he saw that the dog was seriously injured, he couldn't help but ask.
"Third uncle, this is causing trouble for you." Zhao Jun said to Xing San: "We will take this dog back today."
"Okay, take it back." Xing San said: "Your father said that your family has no room in the yard now. But it's good that the dog is not injured. Otherwise, you can leave it here with me and he will take care of it for you."<
/p>
Hearing what Xing San reported to Zhao Youcai, Zhao Jun was furious. But when he looked at the dog, Zhao Jun suddenly thought that although his own father was incompetent, he had made up for it by bringing him a hunting dog. p>
"Baoyu!" Zhao Jun said to Li Baoyu first: "Go outside to the trunk and get a few more sacks to lay on the ground."
"Okay." Li Baoyu heard this and hurriedly walked outside the cellar.
Zhao Jun quickly stretched out his hand, lifted the back of the black dog's neck, put the two front legs of the black dog together with the other hand, pulled it upward, and said to Zhang Yuanmin, "You two, lift this dog up into the car." p>
Upon hearing this, Zhang Yuanmin and his ministers stepped forward to lift the black dog and carried it to the outside of the cellar.
