Over the past year, the conditions of the Zhao and Li families have become better and better, and there is no shortage of meat.
But bear meat tastes like bear meat, and wild boar meat tastes like wild boar meat. Li Ruhai eats a lot of mountain animal meat, but he only eats chicken only a handful of times throughout the year.
I finally looked at the chicken today, but it’s been so long, what has Li Ruhai eaten?
One chicken head and one chicken foot.
If I eat another chicken foot, probably only the mushrooms will be left in the pot of chicken stewed with mushrooms.
Seeing Li Ruhai's aggrieved look, both Zhao Jun and his ministers laughed. Zhao Jun held his chicken feet between his legs and said to Li Ruhai: "Ruhai, big brother, tell you, if you don't do it, I'll tell Ma Yang everything."
”
"Ah?" Li Ruhai's eyes widened. This child is precocious. He knew just now that Zhao Jun was trying to deal with him, but he didn't know why.
At this time, when he heard Zhao Jun mention Ma Yang, Li Ruhai was a little surprised. He tilted his head and thought about it, and suddenly he felt even more aggrieved. He said to Zhao Jun with an unconvinced look: "Brother, I didn't say anything to him.
."
In Li Ruhai's view, what he said was just chatting and harmless.
"Come, eat." When Zhao Jun heard that Li Ruhai refused to admit it, he held the chicken feet and sent it to Li Ruhai.
"Brother, big brother." Li Ruhai nervously covered his bowl, his face was distorted, his eyebrows were twisted into splayed eyebrows, and he said to Zhao Jun: "I won't say a word to him in the future, okay?" p>
"That's not the case." Zhao Jun turned back and put the chicken feet into his bowl, and then said to Li Ruhai: "You two are chatting normally, I don't care. But that... oops."
As he spoke, Zhao Jun sighed lightly, and then said: "Don't tell him about men and women. He is young and doesn't have your talent, so don't teach him."
Hearing Zhao Jun's words, Jie Chen couldn't hold back his laughter. But it has to be said that these days, there are no TVs and there are no messy books. Jie Chen doesn't understand the specific operations of certain things. In this regard, Jie Chen
Chendu felt that this kid Li Ruhai might know more than him.
"That's it." Li Ruhai felt relieved and said to Zhao Jun: "Brother, I understand. I won't tell him any of these adult matters from now on."
"That's right." Zhao Jun smiled at Li Ruhai, stretched his chopsticks into the basin, and gave Li Ruhai a piece of chicken leg meat. Although he had cooked Li Ruhai just now, he and the minister left a few pieces of chicken leg meat for Li Ruhai in a tacit understanding. p>
At this time, he put the meat into a bowl for Li Ruhai. Seeing Li Ruhai's little face lifted up instantly, Zhao Jun asked again: "Don't tell Wang Dalong's matter anywhere else."
"Well, well." Li Ruhai nodded repeatedly, and then started to use chopsticks to pick up the meat. But at this moment, Zhao Jun grabbed his arm and said seriously: "You kid, don't be in a hurry to eat. That Wang Dalong,
He's your aunt's nephew, how can you tell those things about him?
Besides, your brother and I, when we were building that new house, people came over to help us and didn’t ask for the last penny of wages. If you are such a villager and say something to others, you, the old man, should do the same, and the young man, you should do the same.
If he really comes here one day, will our faces look good?"
After Zhao Jun said these words, Li Ruhai was silent for two seconds and then solemnly said to Zhao Jun: "Brother, don't worry, I won't say anything about him in the future."
Speaking of this, Li Ruhai grinned and said, "I heard something interesting yesterday."
"Ah?" Zhao Jun was stunned. He was both casual and curious, so he asked Li Ruhai: "What's the matter? Tell me and I'll listen."
"Hehehe..." Before Li Ruhai could say anything, he was happy himself. He laughed twice, even put down his chopsticks, and then mysteriously said to Zhao Jun and He Chen: "It's just our Dahuang." "Rhubarb?" Zhao Jun frowned and asked in surprise: "Why do you even spread gossip about dogs now?"
"Who spread the gossip about dogs!" Li Ruhai rolled his eyes at Zhao Jun, and then continued: "I haven't finished speaking yet, brother, please don't interrupt."
"Ah, ah." Zhao Jun nodded repeatedly and said, "You go ahead and I won't say anything."
Li Ruhai lowered his body, got close to the Kang table, and said to Zhao Jun on his right and Jie Chen on the opposite side: "This is my Da Huang Taiye."
"Who?" Zhao Jun said not to interrupt, but he still couldn't help it. Why did the big brother Rhubarb come out?
Jie Chen was also confused. This was the first time in his life that he heard someone talk about the family tree of a dog.
Li Ruhai raised his hand and pointed outward, and said to Zhao Jun: "The great master Dahuang is already dead! I'm just going to tell you this, brother, are you still listening?"
Li Ruhai, who was aggrieved and submissive just now, has become more powerful now. I miss him Li Ruhai, who has been hanging out in this village for so many years. When he is chatting, as long as he talks, which old woman dares to interrupt?
"You say it, you say it." Zhao Jun hurriedly took another piece of chicken leg meat from the basin and put it in the bowl for Li Ruhai. He smiled and said, "Your brother Chen and I have saved the good meat for you."
"That's pretty much it." Li Ruhai smiled, then re-entered the state, with bright eyes, and said to Zhao Jun and the minister: "It's just our Dahuang Taiye, when he was young."
Zhao Jun felt awkward when he heard Li Ruhai's words, but he didn't dare to complain anymore and forced himself to continue listening.
And Li Ruhai said enthusiastically: "When my dad brought the dog back, it was before winter. At that time, he put it in a dog-skin hat and put it on the kang. One day, my dad was lying on the kang to sleep, and the puppy thought
When he went to the toilet, he crawled out of his hat and peed on the kang. He happened to catch up with my brother who was also on the kang. I wasn’t around at that time. I heard from my dad that my brother was only a little over three years old.
, it was probably my brother who was thirsty that day. He looked at where the dog was peeing, and he crawled over..."
"Hey!" Zhao Jun couldn't bear it any longer and hurriedly stopped Li Ruhai and said, "If it's something disgusting, stop talking about it. Your brother Chen and I still have to eat."
"No!" Li Ruhai said: "My brother didn't wait to lick him. When my dad opened his eyes and saw it, he kicked him down, hahahaha..."

The boy started laughing as he talked, but Zhao Jun and Jie Chen couldn't laugh. They looked at each other, and then turned to look at Li Ruhai.
At this time, Li Ruhai stopped laughing, looked at Zhao Jun and Xie Chen in turn, and asked: "Brother, Brother Jun, why don't you two laugh?"
Zhao Jun twitched the corner of his mouth and asked Li Ruhai: "Ruhai, who told you this?"
"My dad told my mom." Li Ruhai said with a smile: "Last night, my mom asked me if my brother was stupid. My dad just put it aside and said that he couldn't be prepared. After that, he mentioned it and said that he
My brother kicked his feet into the ground and knocked my brother's head silly."
As soon as Li Ruhai said this, Zhao Jun and Xie Chen all sighed. Those three people were probably telling a joke. How could this kid take it seriously?
However, Zhao Jun asked Li Ruhai with some suspicion, "Did my uncle and my aunt say these things in front of you?"
"That's not true." Li Ruhai shook his head and said, "I came back last night and stood by the door to listen."
"Ruhai." At this time, Jie Chen asked Li Ruhai a key question, saying: "You didn't tell anyone about this, right?"
"No." Under the vigilant eyes of Zhao Jun and Jie Chen, Li Ruhai shook his head. When the two of them had just breathed a sigh of relief, Li Ruhai said: "I haven't poured out the time yet."
Also, he and Jin Xiaomei went to work in the fields early in the morning, and when they came back, they came to Zhao Jun's house for dinner. They really didn't find any chance.
But what about waiting for him to find time?
Zhao Jun tilted his head and looked at Li Ruhai's legs folded together.
Li Ruhai followed Zhao Jun's gaze and said to Zhao Jun: "Brother, I didn't drop any bones on the kang."
Zhao Jun looked straight at Li Ruhai, nodded twice and said, "I know, I just looked at your legs."
"Huh?" Li Ruhai was startled when he heard this, and asked with some confusion: "What are you looking at my legs for?"
Zhao Jun said expressionlessly: "If you go out and talk nonsense, your brother will break your legs."
Li Ruhai: "..."
At this time, Jie Chen took another piece of chicken leg meat from the basin to Li Ruhai and said: "Ruhai, listen to brother Chen, eat more meat and plug your mouth, or else break his legs."
……
After lunch, Li Ruhai went home. Zhao Jun and his ministers fell down on the kang and took a nap. When they got up in the afternoon, Zhao Jun came out of the room to go to the toilet.
Seeing Wang Meilan busy in front of the stove, he suddenly remembered something and asked Wang Meilan: "Mom, how do you feel about our folk remedy?"
"I won't eat anymore." Wang Meilan smiled at Zhao Jun and said, "Ma Ling gave me another prescription, which is much better than the one you gave me."
Zhao Jun felt relieved when he heard that it was Ma Ling who gave him the folk remedy. He has a specialization in medicine, and when it comes to folk remedies, Ma Ling is considered to be the best in Yong'an Tun.
But what made Zhao Jun curious was how Ma Ling gave the recipe to Wang Meilan. So, he curiously asked Wang Meilan about the whole story. After learning that he needed to use badger oil to spread eggs, Zhao Jun was afraid of the badger oil at home.
It was not enough, so I asked Wang Meilan: "Mom, is there no badger oil in our house?"
"Yes." Wang Meilan nodded and said, "There is still enough left, enough to last for a few days."
"It's okay." Zhao Jun said: "Brother Zhang knows a badger's hole. We will dig it out tomorrow and come back with the badger's hole to burn oil."
"Hey!" Wang Meilan responded cheerfully. The fried eggs with badger seeds are so delicious. Eating them every day can satisfy your craving. Isn't it much better than the steamed millet with wild boar belly that makes you feel sick when you eat it?
The badger hole that Zhao Jun just mentioned was the stone hole that Zhang Yuanmin mentioned last time when he and Zhang Yuanmin were picking out badger seeds for Wang Cuihua.
In Zhang Yuanmin's description, the badger cave was sitting on a pile of rocks, which was easy to defend and difficult to attack. But Zhao Jun said there was a way, but it would have to wait until after October.
Today is October 2nd, and tomorrow is October 3rd. It’s just in time for Wang Meilan’s need, so I just happened to dig out that badger’s hole.
But before going there, some preparations had to be done. Zhao Jun wanted to go to Zhang Yuanmin’s house to talk to him.
But when he was about to go out, Zhao Jun remembered something again and asked Wang Meilan: "Mom, before I left, didn't my dad say he wanted to buy you canned food? How many bottles are you eating? My dad and you
"No, has he recorded the account? I'm just on my way, why don't I go to the store and settle the account?"
"He bought me a shit!" Wang Meilan was not happy when she heard this, and turned around and went back to the east room.
Zhao Jun was stunned when he heard this. He knew the answer just by looking at Wang Meilan's attitude. Then he shook his head and walked out to Zhang Yuanmin's house.
When Zhao Jun arrived at Zhang Yuanmin's house, the two men were sawing firewood in the yard.
People in the northeastern mountain villages have a habit of collecting and storing firewood. It’s not an exaggeration to say that every household in a forested area has to save enough firewood for three to five years. And then the firewood needs to be burned even if it is not stored.
Then go to the mountain to pick it up.
At the beginning of spring this year, Zhao Jun helped Zhang Yuanmin buy a chain saw. He originally wanted him to go to Lengchang to plant trees and cut branches, but unexpectedly, Yang Yufeng took the old boy back after working at the forest farm for three days. But this chain saw is not useless, it can be used for sawing firewood and other things.
"Oh, brother!" Yang Yufeng, who was pulling firewood, saw Zhao Jun coming. He threw away the branch and called to Zhang Yuanmin: "Stop it, our brother is here."
"Hey!" Zhang Yuanmin also put down the chain saw and rushed to the door.
The couple welcomed Zhao Jun into the courtyard and sat down together in the house. Yang Yufeng poured some water. Zhao Jun held the teapot and said to Yang Yufeng: "Sister-in-law, when did you go to collect firewood?"
Yang Yufeng smiled and said: "Nothing happens these days. I will go up the mountain and bring some back in the morning."
There are many wind-prone trees on the mountain, with branches of all sizes, so Yang Yufeng picked the ones she could move and dragged them home.
Hearing this, Zhao Jun said again: "Sister-in-law, please don't go and fix it. The fever at home is enough. Let Baoyu drive the car in the next spring. Pick up a small number and pull the two cars down. I will save you a lot of trouble."<
/p>
"Okay." Yang Yufeng was very happy when she heard this. This would save her a lot of trouble. What should she do at home if she has the time?
At this time, Zhang Yuanmin pulled Yang Yufeng down, and then asked Zhao Jun: "Brother, why are you here?"
"Yeah." Zhao Jun nodded and said, "Brother, didn't I let you make a few mouse cages last time? Let's see tonight and catch two big mice."
"That's easy to say." Zhang Yuanmin said with a smile: "Chop the whole dry corn stick into a piece, put it into the inside, and take one spoonful at a time."
At this point, Zhang Yuanmin instructed Yang Yufeng: "Go and weave the cages for me and get two for my brother."
When Yang Yufeng got up and went out, Zhang Yuanmin said to Zhao Jun again: "Brother, when you go home, put down two cages and let's catch them separately."
"Okay." As soon as Zhao Jun responded, he saw Yang Yufeng leaving and returning, holding two cages made by Zhang Yuanmin made of wire ropes.
Zhao Jun stood up, took the cage, and said to Zhang Yuanmin: "Brother, I'm going back then. If you have nothing to do tomorrow morning, we'll pick out the badgers and dig into the stone hole you mentioned last time." p>
"Brother!" Zhang Yuanmin was about to stand up and see him off when he heard Zhao Jun's words and asked, "Do you want me to take the heirloom of our old Zhang family with you?"
"No need." Zhao Jun smiled and said jokingly to Zhang Yuanmin: "Brother, you will see what I do tomorrow. I won't use a knife or a shot. I'm sure I'll dig out the stone hole."
