While Zhao Jun and Wang Meilan were talking, the dog in the yard outside barked twice, and then someone at the door shouted: "Brother, brother!"
Zhang Yuanmin is here!
Zhao Jun came out of the house and saw Zhang Yuanmin coming in from outside the courtyard carrying a basket on his back.
"Brother!"
"Brother Zhang."
At this time, Jie Chen also came out of the warehouse and reached out to help Zhang Yuanmin take the basket behind him.
"It's okay, it won't sink." When Zhang Yuanmin spoke, he put the basket on the ground, and then took out the wire cages one by one from the basket.
These cages, all made by Zhang Yuanmin with steel wire, are irregular cuboids. The length is about fifty centimeters, and the width and height are between thirty centimeters and forty centimeters.
"Brother Zhang." Jie Chen picked up a cage and asked Zhang Yuanmin, "Why is there a ring in your cage?"
After hearing what Jie Chen said, Zhao Jun took a closer look and found that there was indeed a steel wire ring hanging in each cage.
Zhang Yuanmin smiled and said: "What the bell said, the whole ring is for the greyhound to drill through."
When Zhao Jun heard this, he immediately became interested and asked Zhang Yuanmin: "Brother, is it drilling?"
Zhang Yuanmin shook his head and said with a smile: "I haven't looked at it yet."
After Zhang Yuanmin finished speaking, he took out two more cages from the basket on his back, placing a total of four cages on the ground. Then he said to Zhao Jun: "Brother, give the greyhounds, pick them out in pairs, and put them in one cage."
A pair, next year the older one will give birth to the younger one, and the younger one will give birth to the younger one, isn’t that all money?”
"Okay." Zhao Jun agreed with a smile, and then called Zhang Yuanmin into the house to drink water, but Zhang Yuanmin wanted to go back and continue making a cage. Zhao Jun couldn't keep him, so he gave Zhang Yuanmin a wild boar thigh before sending him out.<
/p>
After Zhang Yuanmin left, Zhao Jun asked Jie Chen to catch squirrels at home and put them into cages, while he left the house and walked to the Tunbu.
When they came to Tunbu, Zhao Jun asked Zhao Guofeng to help him make a call to Yongxing Brigade. When the call was connected, he heard Tao Dabao's voice coming from over there: "Ah, who is it?"
Listening to Tao Dabao's unique way of answering the phone, Zhao Jun smiled and said: "Uncle Tao, it's me, I'm Zhao Jun."
"Zhao Jun." Tao Dabao smiled and said, "You haven't gone to work yet?"
"No." Zhao Jun knew that Tao Dabao was very busy and did not go around in circles. He said directly: "Uncle Tao, I would like to ask you where did the gunner hit the leopard when you surrounded it?"
When Zhao Jun said this, Tao Dabao vaguely guessed something, so he asked: "Zhao Jun, why are you thinking about this?"
Zhao Jun said: "I shot a native leopard in the mountains this morning. This native leopard was covered in wounds. One of its hind legs was missing a bone, its mouth was broken, and its ears were broken!"
Tao Dabao was silent for a moment on the other end of the phone, and then said: "If you hit this local leopard, it's probably the one who stole the sheep from our brigade before."
Speaking of this, Tao Dabao suddenly said to Zhao Jun: "Zhao Jun, don't worry, wait for me for two minutes, I will discuss it with Lao Yu."
"Ah? Uncle Tao..." Zhao Jun spoke again, but there was no sound. Zhao Jun had no choice but to wait with the microphone in his hand.
But after only waiting for a minute, Tao Dabao's voice came from the other end of the phone. He only heard him say: "Zhao Jun, are you listening?"
"Uncle Tao." Zhao Jun replied: "I'll leave it here."
When Tao Dabao heard Zhao Jun's reply, he said, "Zhao Jun, when are you free? Can you show us that native leopard?"
When Zhao Jun heard this, he immediately said jokingly: "Uncle Tao, I can't take it. If not, I can bring it to you?"
"Ah?" Tao Dabao was startled and said, "What are you talking about?"
Zhao Jun said with a smile: "I brought it back from the mountains in the morning and asked my mother to peel off the skin. I don't know what to do with the meat yet."
Zhao Jun didn't lie. When he went to bed in the morning, Wang Meilan and Jin Xiaomei peeled off the skin of the native leopard.
Although the native leopard was cut into eight pieces, it does not affect the skinning. The skin on the body is the skin on the body, and the skin on the legs is the skin on the legs.
As for the meat, it can’t be wasted, but Wang Meilan has never stewed leopard meat, so she plans to wait until the chef Zhao Youcai comes back to deal with it.
"This is troublesome." When Tao Dabao heard that Zhao Jun's family had killed the leopard, he said with some embarrassment: "When our brigade surrounded the leopard, Lao Yu and I decided that whoever captured the leopard would be rewarded with money.
.Now that the bonus is all given to others, I want you to bring the leopard carcass and skin so that I can give you the bonus."
Hearing what Tao Dabao said, Zhao Jun smiled and said: "Uncle Tao, forget it, the bonus has been given to others, can I get it back?"
"Then why not?" Tao Dabao said without hesitation: "Don't you have to seek truth from facts in everything? Whatever happens is what happens. If you beat him to death, the bonus will be given to you!" p>
Zhao Jun was stunned by what Tao Dabao said, but he refused: "Uncle Tao, that native leopard was surrounded by my dogs. When I went up, the dogs had torn the leopard into pieces. Besides, it has been so long.
, we can’t prove that this is the local leopard who stole your production team’s sheep.”
Tao Dabao smacked his lips and said: "We broke one of its legs that day... OK, if you say so, forget it."
Speaking of this, Tao Dabao remembered something and asked Zhao Jun: "By the way, Zhao Jun, how many live roe deer have you caught?"
"Three of them have been caught." Zhao Jun took the opportunity to promote: "Uncle Tao, don't tell me, roe deer are very easy to feed. They eat whatever they give them, and the corn leaves are also crunchy."
"Yeah." Tao Dabao said: "It's easier to feed than a deer. When the big guy gets angry, his eyes will bulge, and he will die at every turn. Ah? Then you wait a moment..."
Suddenly, someone seemed to be talking to Tao Dabao, and then Tao Dabao said to Zhao Jun: "Zhao Jun, Lao Yu wants to talk to you."
"Hey." As soon as Zhao Jun responded, he heard Yu Xuewen on the other end of the phone. Zhao Jun hurriedly said hello: "Secretary Yu, hello."
"Hello." Yu Xuewen said, "Are you busy these days? You haven't gone to work yet? Why don't you come to our place?"
As soon as Yu Xuewen came up, there was a series of questions. Zhao Jun smiled and said: "Secretary Yu, I won't go."
"Come on." Yu Xuewen said: "Come and help us catch a few roe deer. If we catch one, I will give you a hundred yuan."
"Ah?" Zhao Jun was immediately moved when he heard this, and asked hurriedly: "One hundred yuan, is it a male? Or a female?"
"This..." Yu Xuewen also made a temporary bid. When Zhao Jun asked him, he thought about it in his head and said: "Little bastard, I don't want the male one. Grab the one that's over fifty pounds, and I'll give it to you."
You pay a hundred yuan each. We have to catch the female, the big one costs one hundred and twenty, and the small one gives you half, sixty."
"Okay!" Zhao Jun agreed simply.
Game is worthless these days.
At a large market in rural areas, a pound of roe deer meat cost only one yuan.
When roe deer meat became really expensive, it was after 1998. At that time, special people came from Inner Mongolia to collect it, and a small roe deer cost one thousand yuan.
At present, among these ten miles and eight villages, only the Yongxing brigade is so wealthy. Unlike a certain village chief who has to buy a few wild boars on credit.
Yu Xuewen was very happy to hear Zhao Jun's promise. In the early years, their production team had raised deer, wild boars, raccoon dogs, and rabbits, but they had never raised roe deer.
The main reason is that roe deer are difficult to catch, but other than that there are no other disadvantages, and raising roe deer is much easier than raising red deer.
"Secretary Yu." At this time, Zhao Jun asked Yu Xuewen another question, saying: "I'm going, where will I live? Not only will I go with people this time, I also have to pick up the dog."
Now is a good time to walk and train the dog. Zhao Jun doesn’t want the dog to be trapped at home. Moreover, when he went to the Yongxing Brigade, he was just trying to catch him. He just went for a walk in the mountains every morning, and the rest of the time he could be surrounded.
A wild boar fights a wild boar, and I see a black bear fucking a black bear.
However, where to live is a problem.
The last time he went to Yongxing Brigade, Zhao Jun stayed at Tao Xiaobao's house for a few days. But this time, he didn't plan to stay at Tao Xiaobao's house.
This is not because the hospitality at Tao Xiaobao's house is not good, but because Zhao Jun came here specifically to make money. And he also brought so many dogs. If he eats at Tao Xiaobao's house, he will definitely cause trouble. p>
"This is easy to handle." Yu Xuewen said: "Our brigade has a guest house. If you come, there will be people to cook for you. If you bring people over, we will not lack your stuttering food. If you want to bring in a dog, it will be fine. Our brigade
I’ll give you some cornmeal noodles to feed your dog.”
What does it mean to have a big family, a big business, and great wealth?
That’s it!
But Zhao Jun knew that the guest house that Yu Xuewen mentioned was a few bungalows behind their brigade headquarters. However, they could provide food, shelter and make money, so why not?
So Zhao Jun agreed, then said goodbye to Yu Xuewen and hung up the phone.
As soon as Zhao Jun put down the phone, Zhao Guofeng came over.
Zhao Guofeng asked Zhao Jun: "Xiaojun, do you agree with Secretary Yu how much it will cost to catch a roe deer?"
Zhao Jun raised his hand, leaving only one index finger on his left hand, and said with a smile: "One hundred yuan."
"Ah?" Zhao Guofeng was a little surprised. He was different from Yu Xuewen and Tao Dabao. The two of them wanted live roe deer and raised them in the production team. The money to buy the roe deer was also paid by the brigade.
But Zhao Guofeng wanted the live roe deer to give as a gift. He had to pay for the roe deer out of his own pocket.
This roe deer was more than his monthly salary, so Zhao Guofeng was really reluctant to part with it.
Seeing that Zhao Guofeng was undecided, Zhao Jun didn't say much. After thanking Zhao Guofeng, he came out of the camp and walked home.
Not far away, Zhao Jun saw Li Ruhai after school, chatting with someone in front of the snack shop.
Seeing the child's heartless and carefree appearance, Zhao Jun just smiled and left.
Li Ruhai hung out in front of the small shop until five o'clock, when all the women went home to cook, and then Li Ruhai went home sadly.
As soon as he entered the house, Li Ruhai touched the rhubarb that greeted him, and then walked into the house.
As soon as he opened the door, Li Ruhai smelled the aroma of meat and immediately asked: "Mom, what did you do? It smells so good?"
"Stewed pork ribs today..." Before Jin Xiaomei could finish her words, she frowned because she saw Li Ruhai's schoolbag.
Jin Xiaomei rushed to Li Ruhai in two steps and grabbed the schoolbag he was carrying. Without opening it, she just squeezed it and Jin Xiaomei knew that the schoolbag was empty.
Jin Xiaomei stared, tilted her head and asked Li Ruhai, "Have you gone to school?"
"Ah!" Li Ruhai said without any guilt: "I didn't skip school today!"
"Didn't you skip school?" Jin Xiaomei threw her schoolbag aside, but the bag was slung around Li Ruhai's neck, so the bag only turned around and did not fall to the ground.
Jin Xiaomei said angrily: "You didn't even take a book from school. What kind of school did you go to?"
"Book..." Li Ruhai blinked. He did not dare to say that he had lost the book, and only responded to Jin Xiaomei's anger with silence.
When Jin Xiaomei saw his appearance, she became even more angry and said: "If you don't take the book or the notebook, why don't you do your homework?"
When he heard Jin Xiaomei talking about his homework, Li Ruhai's face changed slightly and he muttered: "My homework... won't you tear it up?"
His muttering was a bit soft, and Jin Xiaomei didn't hear it clearly, so she asked, "What did you say?"
Li Ruhai raised his eyelids and eyebrows, glanced at Jin Xiaomei, and whispered: "The essay our teacher Xiao left that day, I wrote about you fighting with my father, and I asked you to tear up the homework for me..."<
/p>
"I..." When Jin Xiaomei heard this, she couldn't help but become angry and wanted to find something to beat Li Ruhai.
When Li Ruhai saw this, he quickly turned around and ran away.
Seeing Li Ruhai running out, Jin Xiaomei still couldn't calm down, her chest heaved violently, and she said with hatred: "When your father comes back, I will let him beat you up violently."
When Li Ruhai came out of the house, he didn't run far, turned around and entered Zhao Jun's house.
The two of them live together like one family. When Li Ruhai enters the hospital, no dog bites him.
Li Ruhai dove into the warehouse, took hazelnuts from the sack behind the door and played with the little squirrel in the cage.
Li Ruhai only found it interesting to watch the little squirrels break open the hazelnut shells with their hard teeth. He fed them one hazelnut after another. Sometimes he would feed two squirrels at the same time and let them compete in eating hazelnuts. Whoever wins would be rewarded.
Who has a pine nut?
The child had a lot of fun playing by himself, and waited until half past six for Zhao Youcai, Li Dayong, and Li Baoyu to come back from get off work.
Li Baoyu was still the same, following Zhao Youcai into Zhao Jun's house as soon as he got off work. If he didn't know, he would have thought that he was Zhao Youcai's son.
Li Dayong entered the house smelling the aroma of meat. As soon as he entered the house, he saw the big pot on the stove steaming, but Jin Xiaomei was not in the outer room.
Li Dayong walked into the house and saw Jin Xiaomei sitting on the kang holding Li Xiaoqiao. When Li Dayong came back, Jin Xiaomei complained directly: "Wait for that little deflated calf to come back soon, and you can peel him!"
As soon as Li Dayong heard this, he knew that Li Ruhai had made his mother angry again. Li Dayong sighed helplessly, sat sideways on the edge of the kang, and said, "I've been tired all day, and I have to beat him when I get home."
"If we don't fight, this child will be doomed!" Jin Xiaomei said: "If he doesn't study hard for a day, what kind of work will he be able to do after he finishes junior high school in two years?"
"I want to go to the forest farm!" Suddenly, Li Ruhai appeared at the door. Facing Jin Xiaomei's questioning, Li Ruhai said loudly: "I have already agreed with Uncle Zhou that when I graduate from junior high school, I will go to the forest farm to work as a guard.
In the mailroom."
Speaking of this, Li Ruhai puffed up his chest and said: "I'm not like my brother, who has to ask for help to find a job, and you have to get him a full-time job. I have an editor when I enter the job!"
When Li Ruhai said this, Li Baoyu was coming in from the door. Li Baoyu, who was originally smiling, suddenly solidified his smile after hearing Li Ruhai's words.
And Li Ruhai's words almost made Jin Xiaomei angry. What kind of kid is this? He's clamoring to open the door every day. If he had known you had opened the door earlier, who would have supported your education?
Thinking of this, Jin Xiaomei grabbed Li Dayong's sleeve and shook it hard, signaling that it was time for Li Dayong to take action.
"Alas!" Unexpectedly, Li Dayong sighed heavily, and then said to Li Ruhai earnestly: "Son, you should study hard from now on. Now there is a new person in the mailroom, and you can't go!"
"What?" Li Ruhai couldn't believe his ears. He looked at Li Dayong blankly for a while and murmured: "Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"
