At half past six, the small train commuting to the forest farm arrived outside Yong'an Tun on time.
The train pulled into the station and the carriage door opened. Before the forestry workers in Yong'antun got off the bus, Li Baoyu, who was tall, saw Li Ruhai standing on the simple platform through the crowd.
At this time, Li Ruhai's eye sockets were red and swollen, and there were bloody teeth marks on his face. It looked like he had been in a fight.
"Borrow the light! Borrow the light!" Li Baoyu separated from the crowd, stepped off the platform with long legs, came directly in front of Li Ruhai, and grabbed Li Ruhai's arm.
"Ouch!" Li Ruhai grinned and twitched his arm back, then heard Li Baoyu say: "Who hit you?"
"It's okay." Li Ruhai waved his hand nonchalantly. Seeing that many people had already gotten off the car, Li Dayong and Zhao Youcai were among them. Li Ruhai cleared his throat and pretended to be anxious and said to Li Baoyu: "Brother, something big has happened.
La?"
"Ah?" Li Ruhai's injury had already startled Li Baoyu. Now he heard Li Ruhai say something serious. Li Baoyu hurriedly asked: "What's wrong? Something happened at home?"
After hearing what he said, Zhao Youcai, Li Dayong, and Lin Xiangshun all gathered around. Not only them, but other villagers also gathered around when they heard Li Baoyu's words and saw Li Ruhai's appearance.
"What's wrong?" Li Dayong's face darkened when he saw Li Ruhai being beaten. He can beat his own children however he wants, but others cannot.
But Li Ruhai said: "Zhang Zhanshan is dead!"
"What?" When everyone present heard this, they didn't believe what Li Ruhai said. Li Dayong even grabbed Li Ruhai by the collar and asked, "Did Zhang Laibao from his family beat you? You can't curse them even if they beat you."<
/p>
"No, Dad!" Li Ruhai said: "That Zhang Laibao..."
As he spoke, Li Ruhai gestured to his body and said: "The dogs tore them apart. Zhang Zhanshan couldn't bear the blow, so he just passed by."
"Dead?" Zhao Youcai asked in disbelief.
"Yeah!" Li Ruhai nodded and said, "It's parked outside his house!"
When Zhao Youcai heard this, he turned around and pushed aside the crowd, striding towards the village. Others followed suit. Don't forget, they and Zhang Zhanshan were not only neighbors, but also colleagues.
When everyone was approaching Zhang Zhanshan's house, they saw the shed built outside his yard. Zhao Youcai, who was walking in the front, stopped and looked at the shed with no sadness or joy on his face.
Others wanted to go to Zhang Zhanshan's house to express condolences, so they passed by Zhao Youcai one after another. When they passed by Zhao Youcai, they all subconsciously looked back at Zhao Youcai, but none of them could see on Zhao Youcai's face what they thought he should be.
expression.
When only Li Dayong, Lin Xiangshun, Li Baoyu and Li Ruhai were left beside Zhao Youcai, Zhao Youcai sighed softly, then turned and walked towards his home.
Because of Zhao Youcai's relationship, the Li family and the Lin family have never interacted with the Zhang Zhanshan family, and they did not even participate in weddings and weddings.
Zhao Youcai didn't speak, and Li Dayong and others also walked home in silence. Suddenly Li Baoyu lowered his voice and shouted: "What are you going to do? What time is it, and you haven't gone home yet!"
Li Dayong looked back and saw that it was his youngest son Li Ruhai who was about to slip aside. Li Dayong frowned and asked, "What are you going to do?"
Li Ruhai gestured to the side and said, "Auntie Lao Qi gave me a bag of hazelnuts and asked me to get them."
"You are really popular." Li Dayong waved his hand and said: "Go ahead and go home as soon as you are done with it."
After Li Ruhai left, Lin Xiangshun also returned to his home, leaving only Zhao Youcai, Li Dayong and Li Baoyu traveling together.
Zhao Youcai walked to the door of his house in silence and went straight in. Li Baoyu pointed towards the Zhao family courtyard, indicating that he was going to find Zhao Jun.
Li Dayong thought about it, there were three people in total, and two of them had entered Lao Zhao's house, so he should go in and take a look.
As soon as the three of them got home, the dogs from both families started barking at each other, but their barks were to welcome their owners, and there was no trace of ferocity in them.
"Black tiger!" Li Baoyu saw the black tiger under the eaves first, and trotted up in front of the black tiger. The black tiger also cooperated, leaning up and putting its front paws on Li Baoyu's body.
"Dahei is back!" Zhao Youcai's eyes lit up, he immediately cheered up and walked towards Heihu.
At this time, the door of Zhao Jun's house was pushed open from the inside. Jin Xiaomei saw Li Dayong at a glance and said with a smile: "My sister-in-law is asking for bear meat. Let's all eat it here. I'm thinking of calling you."
"Are you talking about the meat of a blind man again?" Li Dayong also didn't expect that one day he would eat enough meat.
Li Dayong entered the room and greeted Wang Meilan, and saw Zhao Jun. Jie Chen was taking bowls and chopsticks to put on the table, while three little girls were waiting for dinner on Zhao Jun's kang in the west room.
Li Dayong wanted to ask how Zhang Zhanshan died, but he heard Jin Xiaomei ask: "Why hasn't Ruhai come back yet?"
"Almost." Li Dayong said: "I saw him just now..."
Speaking of this, Li Dayong thought for a while and then asked Jin Xiaomei: "That boy, was someone beaten today?"
"Huh?" Jin Xiaomei was stunned by Li Dayong's question. She pulled the apron around her waist, balled it up and threw it aside, and asked Li Dayong: "Who hit us?"
Mothers are strong. If her old son is bullied, Jin Xiaomei will definitely send Li Baoyu to take revenge. As for the two of them, it is impossible. These days, no matter how young children fight, adults will not intervene.
"I don't know either." Li Dayong replied: "Let's eat first and ask him what's going on in the evening."
"That's okay." When Jin Xiaomei was talking, Zhao Youcai and Li Baoyu both entered the room.
Everyone washed their hands and prepared to serve. Since there was no room for one table, there was one table in the east room and one table in the west room.
Seeing that the dishes were all served and people were seated, Li Ruhai hadn't come back yet. Wang Meilan said to Jin Xiaomei, "Why hasn't Ruhai come back yet?"
"Sister-in-law, don't worry about him." Jin Xiaomei said: "He won't be hungry anywhere, and he may have better food than us. What are you waiting for him to do?"
Wang Meilan thought it right, picked up her chopsticks and started eating.
In the east room.
After asking about the whole story, Zhao Youcai said to Zhao Jun: "You did the right thing. Since everyone is gone, the grudges will be gone."
When a person dies, it's like when a lamp goes out, everything comes to an end. All the past grudges and resentments with Zhang Zhanshan disappear with his death.
What Zhao Youcai couldn't let go of was that after fighting with Zhang Zhanshan for so many years, he only had a slight upper hand.
But what people never expected was that Zhang Zhanshan was wiped out by Li Ruhai's mouth and Black Tiger's bite.
This made Zhao Youcai doubt his ability.
At this time, the sound of a dog barking came from the courtyard, and then the sound of the door opening was heard from the outhouse. Everyone looked through the door to the outhouse, and saw Li Ruhai coming in carrying a dough bag.
When Li Ruhai entered the east room, Li Baoyu smiled and asked Li Ruhai, "Have you gone home?"
"No." Li Ruhai said with a smile: "I saw that our house didn't turn on the lights, so I ran to the uncle's house."
"Sit down and eat." Zhao Youcai greeted Li Ruhai and then said to Li Baoyu: "Baoyu, serve your brother some food."
"Hey." Li Baoyu turned around quickly, picked up the rice spoon from the rice bowl behind him, and filled Li Ruhai's bowl with a bowl of rice.
When Li Ruhai was receiving the meal, Zhao Youcai asked: "Ruhai, who did you fight with?"
Li Ruhai, who had just taken the bowl, replied: "Zhang Laifa."
"He hit you?" As soon as Li Ruhai finished speaking, Li Baoyu took over, and Li Baoyu asked: "Can his little arms and legs beat you?"
Li Ruhai chuckled and didn't answer. He didn't expect that he would be chased and beaten by Zhang Laifa for his words.
Seeing that Li Ruhai didn't speak, Li Baoyu was a little anxious, but when Zhao Youcai called him, "Baoyu."
"Ah?" Li Baoyu was stunned, and then heard Zhao Youcai say: "Zhang Zhanshan is gone, so don't go to Zhang Laifa. It's not good to ask people to be more careful."
"Hey..." Li Ruhai just agreed, but before he could continue, he heard Li Ruhai say: "Uncle, I think so too, otherwise he hit me, why didn't I fight back!"
Zhao Youcai was fine after hearing what Li Ruhai said, but Zhao Jun didn't believe it. Based on his understanding of Li Ruhai, this kid would be heartbroken if he didn't bother with something. Li Ruhai must have said something. Otherwise, how could Zhang Laifa have done it?
Do you want to beat him?
While everyone continued eating and drinking, Li Baoyu suddenly remembered something and hurriedly said to Zhao Jun: "Brother, what are your plans for tomorrow?"
"Tomorrow..." Zhao Jun thought for a while and said, "Find a place tomorrow and catch all the traps. My brother-in-law is still short of a roe deer."
"Then don't worry." Li Baoyu said: "There are still a few days until October 1st. How about we go hunting wild boars?"
"Wild boar?" When Zhao Jun heard this, he knew that Li Baoyu must know where there were wild boars, so he asked: "How many are there?"
"Seven or eight pigs, big and small." Li Baoyu said: "I went out to buy things for the market today. When I came back, I saw a bunch of pigs running down the ditch and pond. They were all very anxious as they ran."<
/p>
Zhao Jun heard this but didn't say a word.
Seeing that Zhao Jun was silent, Li Baoyu said again: "Brother, let's shoot some wild boars. My aunt's stomach is not good.
Is there inflammation? Let’s give her some pig belly to eat."
The day before yesterday, Zhao Jun took Wang Meilan to Lingnan for a physical examination. The doctor at the Red Cross Hospital said she had chronic gastritis.
Then, the kind doctor gave another recipe, which is to stuff millet into the pig's belly, then steam it in a pot, steam the pig belly and eat it with the millet.
The doctor also said that it would be better if there was a wild boar belly. The efficacy of wild boar belly is more than one and a half times stronger than that of ordinary pigs.
Wild boar belly may be a troublesome thing for others, but for Zhao Jun, it is just a trip to the mountains. Anyway, his mother regards the mountains as her own garden. If there is anything missing at home, she goes into the mountains to find it.
.
"Okay!" So, Zhao Jun simply agreed to Li Baoyu, and then asked casually: "Where are you looking at the pig?"
Li Baoyu replied: "The boss of the 65th class."
When Zhao Jun heard this, he felt deeply impressed by this place, but when he thought about it, his expression changed drastically and he said, "I'm not going!"
