As Wang Meilan shouted loudly, it started to rain lightly outside. Zhao Jun quickly tried to persuade her, but Wang Meilan still didn't calm down, but she got up and went to the opposite room to pick up the table.
Zhao Jun shook his head, put the little lynx aside, took the jar of malted milk on the table and prepared to make a bowl for the little lynx.
As soon as Zhao Jun took the jar, the little lynx immediately reacted. It jumped up Zhao Jun's thigh in twos and twos, stepped on Zhao Jun's pants with its two hind paws, climbed up the edge of the table with its two front legs, and its short little tail unexpectedly
You can also shake it.
Zhao Jun pushed its little head back, took advantage of the opportunity to put a spoonful of malted milk in the bowl, and then took the enamel tank from which he drank water and poured some cold water into it, using the small spoon to dissolve the malted milk.
Stir and finally pour a little hot water.
As soon as the hot water was poured in, the milky aroma of the malted milk spread. The two little girls in the opposite room also had good noses and looked for the smell.
Zhao Jun was not short of these two bowls of malted milk, so he asked Zhao Hong to get the bowl. The two little girls had just eaten a large bowl of noodles, and drank another bowl of malted milk, and their bellies were round.
He was sitting on Zhao Jun's Kang, playing with the little lynx.
Although this little guy is not a domestic animal, he can tell the difference between his eyebrows and his eyes, and he is very smart. No matter who calls him, he will move around with his little legs, which is very strange to people.
As it rains, the temperature outside becomes lower and lower, and you can occasionally see snowflakes floating in the sky, but the snowflakes melt when they hit the ground.
Wang Meilan chopped up the pheasant with a kitchen knife in the outer room, and grabbed two handfuls of mushrooms and soaked them in water. She was going to eat pheasant stewed with mushrooms tonight.
But suddenly, Wang Meilan remembered that the night before yesterday, Zhao Youcai pretended to make a table of delicious dishes, including a chicken stewed with mushrooms.
"I know he didn't hold anything back!" Wang Meilan was furious, raised her kitchen knife and chopped it hard on the cutting board.
Hearing a "clang" outside, Zhao Jun blinked helplessly. His father was too troublesome, but in order to prevent his parents from quarreling, Zhao Jun decided to give him a hand.
So, Zhao Jun got off the kang and went out to Wang Meilan's side, whispering a few words in her ear.
When she heard Zhao Jun speak, Wang Meilan's eyes widened at first, but then she narrowed her eyes to a slit and the corners of her mouth curled up.
……
The sleet didn't stop falling until the evening. Although it wasn't heavy, it fell sparsely and non-stop.
As the end-of-day bell of Yongan Forest Farm rang, the workers walked towards the gate of the forest farm one after another.
Most of the people working in the forest farm are men, and they are all rough men who rarely hold umbrellas or wear ponchos, and they all go out in the light rain.
Today, Li Ruhai is missing in front of the mailroom. This child did not come out to see the workers off from get off work, but it was not because of the rain, but because he was afraid of seeing his father, Li Dayong.
At this time, Zhao Youcai, Li Dayong, Li Baoyu, and Lin Xiangshun walked past the door of the mail room. Lin Xiangshun even mentioned why he didn't see Ruhai today.
Zhao Youcai had his hands behind his back and was walking in the rain with great momentum. They say money is a man's courage. Today he saved four hundred yuan in one day. Zhao Youcai is becoming more and more courageous.
After getting on the commuter train, Zhao Youcai sat on his seat, thinking about when he would be able to get rid of the two wild boars he had promised.
Now that the order money has been collected, we have to do things for others!
The commuter bus stopped outside Yong'an Village, and everyone got off the bus. All the way into the village, the four of them separated halfway, and Zhao Youcai, Li Dayong, and Li Baoyu walked home together.
When the three of them were about to arrive home, the dogs in the two courtyards started barking when they heard that people were coming home.
"Hey!" Li Baoyu pointed in the direction of his home and said to Li Dayong: "There are no lights on in our house? My mother hasn't come back yet?"
"What a kid you are." As soon as Li Baoyu finished speaking, Zhao Youcai answered: "Do you even need to ask? Just leave it at my house."
While they were talking, the three of them entered the Zhao family's yard. Zhao Youcai ran towards Erhei first. Among these dogs, he had the best relationship with Erhei. After all, he rescued this dog.
But Li Dayong and Li Baoyu miss Jin Xiaomei. Although they haven't seen each other for only two days, they still miss their family members who are together every day, even if they are separated for a day.
As soon as the two entered the house, they saw Wang Meilan and Jin Xiaomei chatting in the outer room, and the pot still smelled of meat.
The four of them greeted each other, and Wang Meilan asked Li Dayong: "Where is your eldest brother? He hasn't come back?"
Seeing that Zhao Youcai didn't come back, Wang Meilan had to ask if there was any reception at the venue. If so, everyone wouldn't wait for him to eat.
"It's outside." Li Dayong smiled and said, "There's a rare dog here."
At this time, Jin Xiaomei's eyes quietly drifted towards Wang Meilan, and she looked at her secretly, and found that Wang Meilan's expression was normal, and she was not unhappy at all.
Not only was Wang Meilan not angry, she also called Li Dayong and Li Baoyu into the room. The two of them went directly into the west room. They all came to see the little lynx.
"Brother." Li Baoyu looked at the little guy running around on the bed and said to Zhao Jun: "Isn't this thing quite fun?"
"Yeah." Zhao Jun nodded and said with a smile: "It seems that it doesn't take three months to eat meat."
"Yes." Li Dayong answered from the side and said: "This feeding time is short."
"Huh?" After listening to Li Dayong's words, Li Baoyu asked curiously: "Dad, how do you know?"
Li Dayong raised his chin out the window and said, "Your uncle told me."
At this time, Zhao Youcai was extremely fond of Bai Long, then Big Fat, and Third Fat.
Dogs are the most loyal to their owners. They are the ones who remember to eat and not to fight. I don’t know if these dogs have forgotten what happened the day before yesterday, but they don’t seem to care about Zhao Youcai.
Only Black Tiger, when this dog saw Zhao Youcai running towards it, turned around and dove into the den without saying anything.
When Zhao Youcai arrived at the den, he didn't see the black tiger coming out even after saying hello, so he climbed over the wall to the next door to visit the four dogs in Li's courtyard.
At this time, the food at Zhao Jun's house was already on the table.
There are not many dishes today, just a small pheasant stewed with mushrooms, a cabbage stir-fried with fungus, a bear meat stewed with radish, and a green onion with scrambled eggs.
Although there are few dishes, they are large. The pheasant stewed with mushrooms is served in a pot, and a full pot is placed in the middle.
Wang Meilan brought the steamed rice bowl in and placed it on the edge of the kang. At the same time, she glanced out the window. Seeing the darkness outside, she said to Zhao Jun: "Go out and see your dad. What is this man doing?"
”
Zhao Jun responded and walked out. Wang Meilan called to Li Dayong and said: "Dayong, Xiaomei, let's eat first without waiting for him."
"Nothing else, sister-in-law." Li Dayong, who was loyal to Zhao Youcai, said hurriedly: "Don't worry, just wait for my brother for a while."
"Yes." Jin Xiaomei smiled and said: "Sister-in-law, we are good at chatting and talking, so we are not in a hurry to eat."
Children these days have rules, Li Dayong and Jin Xiaomei said so. Zhao Hong, Zhao Na, and Li Xiaoqiao didn't use their chopsticks. The little girls are like this, and Li Baoyu can't do it even more.
When Wang Meilan saw this, she knew that if Zhao Youcai didn't come into the room, no one at the table would be able to eat. She couldn't help but feel angry, but thinking of Zhao Jun's words, she still suppressed her anger.
At this time, Zhao Jun opened the door of the outer house and took a look into the yard, but found that there was no one there.
When he saw that his father was missing, Zhao Jun hurriedly shouted tentatively twice: "Dad! Dad?"
"What?" Suddenly, a voice sounded from the yard next door. Zhao Youcai let go of Dahuang, stood up and said to Zhao Jun: "What's wrong?"
"What's going on? Dad, come back and eat quickly." Zhao Jun replied: "I'm just waiting for you!"
As soon as he heard that everyone was at the table, Zhao Youcai hurried to the wall, climbed over the wall and walked quickly to the door of his house.
Zhao Jun stepped aside to make way for Zhao Youcai. Zhao Youcai strode into the house. As he walked, he put his hands behind him, pulled the cuffs of the other side with each other, took off the thin cotton-padded jacket outside, and stuffed it in casually.
In the arms of Zhao Jun.
Zhao Jun: "..."
There was no way, this was his biological father. Zhao Jun entered the house with a cotton-padded jacket, smiled at Wang Meilan and said: "He's back."
After saying that, Zhao Jun turned around and hung the cotton-padded jacket behind the door.
After Zhao Youcai washed his hands, he entered the east room. As soon as he saw him coming in, Wang Meilan asked, "What are you doing? I'm just waiting for you!"
Zhao Youcai smiled and said: "What are you waiting for me to do? You just eat."
"That won't work." Wang Meilan said with a smile: "Your brother has to wait for you."
"Then look." When Zhao Youcai passed by Li Dayong, he put his hands on Li Dayong's shoulders and said, "My brother, what else are you talking about?"
In just a few words, the couple discussed the matter of waiting for Zhao Youcai to eat.
At this time, Wang Meilan greeted again: "Let's eat this time."
This time, Li Dayong and Jin Xiaomei did not speak, and the three little girls picked up their chopsticks and started picking up the food.
Zhao Youcai sat on the edge of the Kang, and Li Baoyu came over with a wine bucket to pour him wine. Zhao Youcai squinted his eyes, glanced at the little pheasant stewed mushrooms in the pot, and immediately asked Wang Meilan: "Lan Na, who will give him the wine?"
Did you get the pheasant?"
"Haha." Wang Meilan smiled and said, "Who can get it for you? My son got it today."
"Brother!" Before Zhao Youcai could say anything, Li Baoyu asked Zhao Jun from the side: "Are you going out today?"
"Go for a walk in the morning." As Zhao Jun spoke, he picked up a piece of pheasant bladder, which is the meatiest part of the pheasant.
Jin Xiaomei gave Li Xiaoqiao a piece of meat, turned around and said with a smile: "Xiaojun is really good. He went out in the morning and came back after ten o'clock to shoot two pheasants."
Upon hearing what Jin Xiaomei said, Zhao Youcai, Li Dayong, and Li Baoyu were all a little curious. Li Dayong even asked Zhao Jun: "Xiaojun, you have a great idea. You are just strolling around and teasing two pheasants."
Zhao Jun smiled and said: "If you hit one, I will give you one as a gift."
"Who gave it to you?" Wang Meilan was startled and said to Zhao Jun: "Who gave it to you? No, I think the pheasant meat is quite fresh."
Every winter, Zhang Lifu would lasso pheasants in the mountains and send two pairs to Zhao Jun's family.
However, the pheasant in the trap does not bleed. When I slip the trap on in winter, the blood of the pheasant is frozen.
The meat of a pheasant like that is even more unpalatable.
Wang Meilan has been cooking mountain livestock for many years. When he chopped the pheasant today, he knew the color of the chicken was fresh.
Zhao Jun smiled and said: "This is a gift from the Great Fox."
Zhao Jun was also joking, but as soon as he said this, everyone except the three little girls were extremely surprised.
Then, Zhao Jun told what happened today, and everyone listened with interest as if they were listening to a story.
But after listening to it, everyone felt a little emotional.
Jin Xiaomei smiled and said: "This fox is really good. I heard Dayong say that once the dog goes up the mountain to chase the pigs, the wild pigs will not care about their parents or children."
Jin Xiaomei had heard about it, but Zhao Jun and Li Baoyu had seen it with their own eyes, so the behavior of the yellow fox today was really touching.
"It's not that good." Wang Meilan also answered: "It's really not easy for a mute animal to be able to do this. He is better than some of us."
Wang Meilan's previous words were all right, but her last sentence was a bit abrupt.
Zhao Youcai, Li Dayong were stunned when he heard this, while Jin Xiaomei glanced at Zhao Youcai secretly.
"Hey, uncle, dad." At this time, Li Baoyu suddenly spoke and asked the two seniors who were running in the mountains, "Do you think that fox thing is evil?"
In these mountains and valleys these days, except for those who are engaged in superstition, few people know about the Fox Yellow White Willow Gray Five-Road Immortal Family, but they all know that Fox Yellow has something to say.
"What is the evil nature?" Li Dayong said nonchalantly: "Look at those with yellow leaves, aren't they all good?"
"What's so good!" As soon as Li Dayong finished speaking, Wang Meilan answered: "How many years has Wei Tie's wife been smoking? Besides, I have often heard from Zhao Jun that the thing with yellow leaves is not good.
Make a fortune."
"Sister-in-law." At this time, Jin Xiaomei interjected from the side and said: "I also heard my uncle Zhao say this, but I also heard his uncle Baoyu say that no one who fights siege will get rich."
As soon as Jin Xiaomei said these words, Zhao Youcai and Li Dayong were all startled. Not only they, but also Zhao Jun had heard people say this in his previous life.
In fact, they are not the only ones. The older generation used to say that the money gained from killing people will not last long.
Especially those with yellow leaves. A yellow leaf is worth a lot of money, but the wife and children at home are often sick, and in the end they can’t save much money.
"Brothers and sisters." Wang Meilan raised her hand and patted Jin Xiaomei's arm, and said with a smile: "In that case, our family is lucky."
Jin Xiaomei was stunned for a moment, then heard Wang Meilan continue: "Look, they haven't made a fortune, but we have."
"Ah, haha." Jin Xiaomei laughed when she heard this and said, "That's not good."
After saying that, Jin Xiaomei raised her hand and pointed at Zhao Jun and said: "It's our fault, Xiaojun, let's go ahead."
Speaking of this, Jin Xiaomei went to Wang Meilan's side and whispered: "Tell me, my Dayong and my eldest brother have been fighting for so many years, haven't they saved anything?"
"Ha!" Wang Meilan sneered and said, "We sisters have not saved anything, and my brothers have saved nothing. Do we know?"
Wang Meilan's words made Zhao Youcai and Li Dayong, who were about to talk, both lower their heads in an instant. They took their chopsticks and wanted to dig something into the bowl to hide their embarrassment. But drinkers always eat the food first and then eat.
There is nothing in the human bowl.
For a moment, it became even more embarrassing!
Zhao Jun and Li Baoyu here also lowered their heads, but they were not embarrassed, but to cover up the twitching corners of their mouths for fear of laughing out loud.
