After seeing off Zhou Shujuan, Zhao Jun and his four friends walked quickly home.
Mainly Li Dayong, he walked home angrily, and Zhao Jun could only help Wang Meilan to follow quickly.
At this time, as soon as the Jiefang brand car stopped outside Zhao Jun's house and the dog in the yard barked, Zhao Youcai heard it.
"My five black men!" Zhao Youcai ran all the way to the outside of the hospital, startling Zhang Yuanmin who was working with him.
After Zhao Youcai left the yard, he looked in the trunk and saw that there was only a rope tied to the railing in the trunk, but there was nothing on the other end of the rope.
"Baoyu!" Zhao Youcai shouted.
Just when Li Baoyu got out of the car, he was a little scared when he heard the sound, but remembering Zhao Jun's explanation, he still pretended to be calm, walked around in front of the car, and said to Zhao Youcai: "Uncle, look at that dog...
”
"What dog?" Zhao Youcai's eyes widened and he pointed to the car and said, "Where is the dog? Where is the dog?"
"Huh?" Li Baoyu was startled when he heard the words. He walked a few steps beside Zhao Youcai, holding the car in front of him with both hands. He looked into the car and saw that there was only a rope there. Li Baoyu hurriedly climbed up the car and grabbed the rope.
, when he turned back, he shouted eagerly: "Uncle, it's over! The dog broke away from the rope and ran away!"
As soon as Li Baoyu finished speaking, Zhao Youcai asked eagerly: "Where did you go?"
"This...I don't know about this." Li Baoyu said with a guilty look on his face: "It's probably because he ran away halfway..."
"You...you..." Zhao Youcai pointed his finger at Li Baoyu, but he was speechless.
"Brother!" At this time, Li Dayong was coming back. Seeing this scene, he quickly ran over and asked Zhao Youcai: "What happened?"
Then, Li Dayong looked at Li Baoyu again and shouted: "Why are you so angry with your uncle?"
"I..." Li Baoyu spread his hands at Li Dayong helplessly, and then heard Zhao Youcai say: "He lost my dog!"
"The dog was lost?" When Li Dayong heard this, he was also anxious. He pointed at Li Baoyu and said angrily: "How did you lose your uncle's dog?"
"I...I don't know either." At this time, Li Baoyu was even more frightened, but seeing Zhao Jun and Wang Meilan coming over there, Li Baoyu suddenly felt much more at ease, and he dared to lie in front of his father.
Said: "I tied the dog to the car, but who knew it broke away from the rope and ran away..."
"What else can you do!" Li Dayong was furious when he heard this. He folded his right leg upwards, took off his yellow rubber shoes and threw them at Li Baoyu.
Li Baoyu got a slap from the smelly shoe, but he didn't feel much pain, but he heard Li Dayong scold: "One by one, they don't let me worry, what else can you do? Get a dog, you can still get it
Lost it? Why didn’t you lose your head?”
"Dayong!" At this time, Wang Meilan came over. Her precious son squeezed her hand just now, and Wang Meilan knew that she should appear.
Li Dayong turned around and saw Wang Meilan. He immediately stopped arguing and scolding, and just listened to Wang Meilan saying: "How can you scold a child like this when you are outside? This child will get married after the Chinese New Year, so you have to be careful.
."
Li Dayong pursed his lips and nodded heavily. He also felt that what Wang Meilan said made sense.
At this time, Zhao Youcai still pointed at Li Baoyu angrily and said: "He lost my dog...my five blacks!"
"What the hell?" Wang Meilan didn't know what the Five Blacks were, but seeing Zhao Youcai's reluctance, she asked him, "What kind of dog is it? Where was it lost?"
"Jianjun gave me a fuck." Zhao Youcai said sadly and angrily: "I let this kid get into trouble."
"Hey!" When Wang Meilan heard this, she sighed and said, "Just throw it away. How can we fix it? Okay, let's go into the hospital. Don't shout outside and let others hear. It's time to laugh at us."
”
"I won't go back!" Zhao Youcai directly rejected Wang Meilan, pointed at Li Baoyu and said: "You drive, and we will go find him!"
"Ah?" When Li Baoyu heard that Zhao Youcai was going back to find the dog, he quickly turned his attention to Zhao Jun.
At this time, Zhao Jun regretted a little, but the matter had come to this, and it would be easy to get beaten if he confessed now. After all, he was his own father, so he would only be cheated.
So, Zhao Jun secretly pulled Wang Meilan's sleeve twice.
Wang Meilan felt her son's little move, and immediately knew that this boy and Li Baoyu were responsible. In desperation, she could only step forward to persuade Zhao Youcai: "In these ten miles, we don't know where the dog got off.
.Where can we find it? The dog has gotten off the car, can he lie down on the side of the road and wait for you?"
"This..." Zhao Youcai knew that what Wang Meilan said made sense, but at this moment he felt distressed. He let out a long sigh and went into the yard. He went all the way back to the house and lay down on the kang unable to get up.
Seeing that Zhao Youcai was angry and left, Li Dayong pointed at Li Baoyu and was about to scold him when he couldn't help but think of Wang Meilan's words and hurriedly lowered his voice and said: "Get out of the car quickly and put up the shed for your uncle's house."
"Hey, hey." Li Baoyu hurriedly picked up Li Dayong's shoes and handed them over. Seeing his father put on his shoes and walked to his home, Li Baoyu asked casually: "Dad, aren't you helping my uncle with work?"
”
Li Dayong paused, turned around, looked at Li Baoyu and said: "There is another shameless one at home, I'll take care of him first!"
After saying that, Li Dayong turned around and returned to his home.
After listening to Li Dayong's words, Li Baoyu felt that it was Li Ruhai who had stabbed him again. He immediately glanced at Zhao Jun and saw Zhao Jun shaking his head at him.
"Baoyu." At this time, Wang Meilan called Li Baoyu and said, "Have you not eaten? There are noodles and fillings at home. Auntie will make dumplings for you."
Although there were leftover dumplings at noon, Li Baoyu was working for their family, and Wang Meilan could not let her children eat the leftovers.
"No, aunt, I've finished eating." Li Baoyu said with a smile: "I ate at my eldest sister's place. I ate eight of the chive boxes made by her old lady for me."
Hearing what Li Baoyu said, Wang Meilan smiled, then waved to him and said: "Then get out of the car quickly, don't listen to your uncle, go back to the house and rest for a while."
Li Baoyu listened to Wang Meilan's words, got off the car, and entered the Zhao family courtyard with Wang Meilan, Zhao Jun, and Jie Chen.
In fact, at this time, Li Baoyu really wanted to go home and see Li Ruhai being dealt with, but with Jie Chen beside him, he was a little embarrassed.
At this time, Yang Yufeng hurriedly walked out of Zhao Jun's house. When she saw Wang Meilan, she quickly walked over and said, "Auntie, what happened to my uncle? Why did he lie down on the kang when he got back to the house?"
When Wang Meilan heard this, she glared at Zhao Jun beside her, but she could only say politely: "Go in and see what's going on with your dad."
"Hey!" Zhao Jun agreed and walked quickly into the house.
After Zhao Jun left, Li Baoyu and his ministers went to the backyard to help Zhang Yuanmin work. As soon as Zhao Youcai left, Zhang Yuanmin built a shed by himself in the back.
Wang Meilan and Yang Yufeng chopped up some unwanted cabbage leaves and fed them to nine chickens in a cage.
As soon as Zhao Jun entered the east room, he saw Zhao Youcai lying vigorously on the kang. Hearing the sound, Zhao Youcai turned his head suddenly, and when he saw it was Zhao Jun, he turned his face away again.
"Dad." Zhao Jun slowly came to Zhao Youcai's side, sat next to him on the edge of the kang, and whispered, "Don't be angry, that dog... has no fate with us."
After Zhao Jun finished speaking, he saw that Zhao Youcai ignored him. To be honest, seeing Zhao Youcai so angry and sad, Zhao Jun felt a little regretful and blamed himself.
So, Zhao Jun said: "Dad, you bought the litter of dogs from Mr. Hong's house last time. You don't have to give me the money you took from me. It's all your son's filial piety."
After Zhao Jun finished speaking, Zhao Youcai still ignored him. He just lay on the kang, looking straight at the shed.
Seeing this, Zhao Jun had no choice but to put his hand into his pocket, took out a bunch of money, took out a ten-yuan note, handed it to Zhao Youcai and said, "Dad, I haven't bought you cigarettes or anything like this.
How about you use the money to buy it yourself."
What Zhao Jun didn't expect was that Zhao Youcai, who was usually excited when seeing five yuan, was indifferent to the "huge sum" of ten yuan.
Just because he felt guilty, Zhao Jun took out another ten yuan note, totaling twenty yuan, and handed it to Zhao Youcai.
This time, there was no need for Zhao Jun to speak. Zhao Youcai slowly moved his head, looked at the twenty yuan, sighed and said: "That dog is blind for nothing."
After saying that, Zhao Youcai stretched out his hand, took the twenty yuan and stuffed it into his pocket.
Seeing that Zhao Youcai accepted the money, Zhao Jun felt relieved. He patted Zhao Youcai on the shoulder and said, "Dad, take a rest for a while. I'll go out and help them with some work."
"Well, you go ahead." Zhao Youcai waved to Zhao Jun. After Zhao Jun stood up and left the house, Zhao Youcai snorted coldly and murmured: "Little calf, you were waiting for me!"
As soon as Zhao Jun went out, he ran into Wang Meilan. Wang Meilan asked Zhao Jun: "What's wrong? Is your father okay?"
"Well, it's okay." Zhao Jun smiled and said, "Let him rest in the house for a while."
Wang Meilan looked into the room and saw no one, so she asked Zhao Jun in a voice that only mother and son could hear, "Where did you groom the dog?"
Zhao Jun heard this, looked around, and then whispered: "I asked Baoyu to tie it to Brother Zhang's house, and I will bring it back after two days."
Wang Meilan raised her finger and pointed at Zhao Jun twice, and then said to Zhao Jun: "I will make about thirty dumplings in a while and cook them. You can deliver them to Mrs. Lao Jiang."
"Ah!" Zhao Jun naturally knew who Mrs. Lao Jiang was in my mother's mouth, so he agreed: "Okay, mom, when you've finished cooking, just call me."
Wang Meilan made fifty dumplings in this package, and then called Zhao Jun and Li Baoyu into the room. Thirty dumplings were put in a basin with a plate on top, and Zhao Jun was asked to deliver them to Jiang Liu.
.
Wang Meilan let Li Baoyu eat the remaining twenty. Although the child had eaten at Lao Zhou's house at noon, he didn't eat the dumplings, which made Wang Meilan feel uncomfortable.
It was also a good time for Li Baoyu. The young man had a good appetite, so he took the bowl and chopsticks, poured soy sauce, vinegar and started eating.
Zhao Jun stayed at Jiang's house all the way. When he entered the courtyard, he saw that the doors and windows were open, and black smoke was coming out of the house.
They all lived in the countryside. Zhao Jun probably knew what was going on. He quickly put the basin of dumplings under the window, then went into the house and helped the old lady out.
The old lady was burning a kang in the room. I don’t know how to fix it, but the whole room was filled with smoke.
Zhao Jun supported the old lady with one hand and held the basin with the other, helping Mrs. Jiang and Liu outside the hospital.
Under the willow tree outside the courtyard, Mr. Lao Jiang once nailed two wooden pegs here before his death, and then placed a board across the wooden pegs. The old couple usually sat here and chatted with others.
Zhao Jun asked the old lady to sit down and put the basin aside. At this time, he heard the old lady ask: "Zhao Xiao'er, what did you bring me?"
"Dumplings." Zhao Jun said, "Jiang Nai, you sit down first. I'll go into the room and get you chopsticks."
The old lady hurriedly added: "There is still jealousy!"
"Hey!" Zhao Jun agreed. The fact that the old lady was like this meant that she was in good spirits. He entered the house and fanned the white smoke in front of him, only to find a pile of corn husks piled up in front of the stove.
But the corn kernels are all wet. Will they not smoke when burned?
Zhao Jun took out the bowls and chopsticks from the dish rack and found that the bowls and chopsticks had not been brushed or washed. He simply took out a basin and went to the yard to draw water from the well. He washed the chopsticks first and then went into the house to get them for the old lady.
I was jealous, and when I went outside the hospital, I saw that the old lady had already eaten it.
"Did your mother make it?" the old lady asked.
"Hmm, um." Zhao Jun handed the chopsticks to the old lady, poured some vinegar on the plate, then squatted in front of the old lady and said to her: "Grandma Jiang, why are your corn kernels so wet?"
Where is it?"
"The shed is leaking." Mrs. Lao Jiang said: "The bamboo shoots and everything are wet and squeaky, but the corn pulp is pretty good."
When Zhao Jun heard this, he frowned and asked, "Then what did you do yesterday?"
"Hey!" The old lady sighed and said, "Just deal with the fever."
Zhao Jun thought for a while and asked: "Then what have you eaten these two days?"
The old lady swallowed the dumplings in her mouth and replied: "Just eat it."
"Okay." Zhao Jun stood up and said to the old lady: "Jiang Nai, you eat first. I will go back and bring you some spoons. You can burn them first. I will come back tomorrow afternoon to clean them up for you."
, tidy up that shed."
When the old lady heard this, she raised her chopsticks and said without politeness: "Then you go quickly."
"Then you eat." Zhao Jun warned. Just as he was about to leave, he knelt down and asked the old lady: "Jiang Nai, you came from Yongli Village, then you know that Hu Mantang and his second uncle are not allowed to do anything."
?"
"I know!" The old lady put the dumpling she had taken a bite onto the plate, looked at Zhao Jun and asked, "Have you heard about it too?"
"What's going on?" Zhao Jun didn't hear anything, but the Lengchang was supposed to be the one owned by the two men, but was captured by Xue Limin, so something must have happened to them.
"You don't know?" the old lady asked casually, and then without waiting for Zhao Jun's answer, she said: "Hu Mantang and his wife are raising a few sheep this spring. A while ago, they said that they had something to go to his sheep."
It was bitten to death. Then his uncle thought it was a mountain leopard or something, so he squatted in the sheep pen in the middle of the night. Unexpectedly, it was a native leopard!"
