The three little girls didn’t know what was happening, but they each put chicken soup and rice into their mouths.
Although the pheasant is thin and woody, the stewed chicken soup tastes good. When the chicken soup is soaked in rice, all the soup is absorbed by the rice. When you slurp it into your mouth, it smells delicious.<
/p>
Although this soup is fragrant, it is not too strong, because all the flavor of this dish is absorbed by the mushrooms.
At this time, put a hazel mushroom in the chicken soup rice, pull it into your mouth, and chew it. Not only will the taste of the mushroom blend with the chicken soup rice, but the mushroom will also taste good.
The mushroom is very cute, the mushroom is full of meat.
The three little girls are not short of meat, and they are interested in this bite today. They each hold their bowls and pick mushrooms to eat.
"That..." Zhao Youcai felt that this was not the way to go, so he immediately raised his head and said to Zhao Jun: "Smash it!"
"Ah..." As soon as Zhao Jun raised his head, he couldn't help but want to laugh. He quickly closed his mouth and used his nose to pronounce the answer: "Hmm."
Zhao Youcai raised his chopsticks and pointed at Zhao Jun, saying, "You'd better not hit these two foxes today."
After saying that, Zhao Youcai put his chopsticks into the basin, picked up a piece of pheasant neck and brought it back to his mouth. He bit off the skin first and swallowed it into his mouth.
But Zhao Jun pursed his lips, nodded heavily and said, "Yeah!"
Zhao Youcai threw the chicken neck into the bowl. Feeling that he could not let Zhao Jun speak anymore, he touched Li Dayong with his elbow and said, "Hey, Dayong."
Li Dayong quickly answered: "Brother, tell me."
"Don't you remember Old Song Pao?" Zhao Youcai said, "That's the uncle Song Shuanzi!"
The Song Shuanzi that Zhao Youcai was talking about was none other than Li Ruhai's colleague, Old Song, the janitor of Yongxing Middle School. This old man had a son named Song Tiemin, who was Li Dayong's apprentice. When Zhao Jun went to Xinlangchang, he had dealt with Song Tiemin.
Coming.
"Ah!" Li Dayong responded: "I remember, what happened to the old man?"
Zhao Youcai said: "I heard from Song Shuanzi's father that old Song Pao used to specialize in hunting foxes. It seems that one night, old Song Pao dreamed of an old man with a white beard telling him to tell him
If you dare to hit a fox again, he will have to be punished!"
Since ancient times, this kind of story has been widely read. When Zhao Youcai told it, not to mention Zhao Jun, Li Baoyu, and Wang Meilan, even the three little girls put down their jobs and listened quietly to Zhao Youcai's vernacular.
When Zhao Youcai saw that he had the situation under control, he continued: "The old man is really stubborn, can you believe this? He continued to fight, and one day he went out with a gun on his back, and that day the chicken feathers were not beaten.
When we were walking home, it started to snow heavily, first it covered my body with rice, and then it came with cotton covers!"
For a rice body, it means the snowflakes are as big as rice grains. For a cotton cover, it means the snowflakes are the same size as cotton wool.
As this situation was exaggerated, the group of people listened even more fascinated. Zhao Youcai continued: "At this moment, Old Song Pao looked at a fox coming towards him on the side of the road. Old Song Pao looked at it and saw that this was too much.
When he slipped away, he used his old foreign cannon to bang it, and when it was over, he heard a cry from someone!"
At this point, the unscrupulous Zhao Youcai stopped talking and picked up the wine glass and handed it to Li Dayong.
Seeing this, Li Dayong quickly picked up his wine glass and clinked it with Zhao Youcai. Then Li Dayong stopped drinking and asked Zhao Youcai: "Brother, are you done?"
"Is it over?" Zhao Youcai glanced at the people mysteriously and asked, "What did you guess?"
Such people are the most hated!
"What's wrong?" The person who asked the question turned out to be little Zhao Na. The little girl asked curiously and a little scared.
Zhao Youcai looked around at the crowd and said: "As soon as he heard someone's movement, Old Song's eyes cleared up. He looked at you and said, there is a person lying in the heavy snow! This frightened the old man. I wonder if this is not the case.
Is there a lawsuit? But what do you think, when he goes over to see, who is this person?"
"Who is it?" Li Dayong answered quickly and asked.
"It's his son!" Zhao Youcai slapped the table and said, "He is just such a son. Seeing the heavy snow outside, he came out to greet his father. I didn't expect..."
"No!" Li Baoyu asked with great confusion: "Uncle, didn't he beat the fox? How could he beat his son?"
"Listen to me!" Zhao Youcai said: "This is for Lao Song Pao to cry. After sending it to his son, Lao Song Pao had a dream at night, and he dreamed of the old man with a white beard. In his dream, he called Lao Song Pao.
Pao, saying that if he dares to hit a fox again, his girl will be killed too!"
"Oh my god!" Jin Xiaomei exclaimed when she heard this, and quickly looked at Zhao Jun and said: "Xiaojun, it's a shame you didn't kill that fox today!"
At this time, Wang Meilan was just about to speak, but she heard Zhao Youcai say again: "How stubborn is that old man? When he woke up in the morning, he didn't tell anyone, and he just thought, 'You idiots, you harmed my son, I will beat you specifically from now on.
', it's better this time, he's looking for foxes to fight.
One day, he went out in the morning, but he didn't catch any chicken feathers one day. When he walked back, it snowed heavily again. First, he was covered with rice, and then he was covered with cotton."
Speaking of this, Zhao Youcai asked everyone mysteriously, "It's over, what did you guess?"
Li Dayong, Li Baoyu, Jin Xiaomei, Zhao Hong, Zhao Na, and Li Xiaoqiao asked almost in unison: "What's wrong?"
Zhao Youcai raised his hand and feinted twice in the air. Just as he was about to speak, Wang Meilan interrupted: "I saw another fox. I beat it to death and saw that it was a human again. It was his daughter."
What a good story. When Wang Meilan answered this question, her mood was completely lost. Li Dayong asked Zhao Youcai with some unfinished thoughts: "Brother, is this true?"
At this time, Li Dayong was thinking in his heart. Since Zhao Youcai knew this story, he must have told it to Wang Meilan. You, Wang Meilan, have heard of it, so don't spoil it.
But what Li Dayong didn't expect was that Zhao Youcai looked at Wang Meilan in surprise and asked: "Lan, do you also know about this?"
"What do I know?" Wang Meilan said angrily: "Song Shuanzi's father is nicknamed Song Dabaihua. Can you still believe what he says?"
Hearing Wang Meilan's words, Li Dayong turned to look at Wang Meilan in surprise and asked: "Is it fake?"
"Then what are you thinking about?" Wang Meilan said: "Then Old Song Pao and his son didn't learn well. He went up the mountain to steal the cigarette gourds grown by Huzi, and let Huzi beat him to death."
Everyone heard: "..."
Wang Meilan continued: "After he was beaten to death, he was hung under the red mud hill. Old Song Pao did not dare to collect his son's body. Did he come to my house to find my father? My father went to tell others." p>
In the past, Wang Meilan's family was rich, but the old Wang family was not from the fish and meat village, especially Mr. Wang, who was kind-hearted and soft-hearted.
"It's been like this for a long time." Jin Xiaomei smiled and said to Zhao Youcai: "Brother, how did you hear this? It sounds like the truth."
"How could I know?" Zhao Youcai said with a smile: "Song Shuanzi's father told me, how could I expect him to talk nonsense."
In fact, Zhao Youcai has a clear mind and knows that this story is quite serious, otherwise he would have told it to his daughter and son. But today, he told it to divert the attention of Wang Meilan and Jin Xiaomei.
At this time, the goal was achieved, and Zhao Youcai was ready to drink and eat in peace.
"That old Songtou was the best at speaking plainly." Wang Meilan said of Song Shuanzi's father, "That year he trapped a wild boar in the mountains and sent it to my family to sell to my father. Our family doesn't eat the prey caught in the trap.
Isn’t it delicious to be soaked in blood? He told my dad that it was not a harness, but that he had killed it by smashing it with a pickaxe. He also said that the wild boar flicked its mouth, give it to that..."
As she said that, Wang Meilan gestured with thumb to thumb and index finger to the size of the mouth of a bowl and continued: "For such a thick tree, a mouth is broken. You said it has only been thirty-nine days, and the tree is so frozen that it is so big."
You can’t even throw away an axe, how can a pig be so fierce!”
"That's right." Li Baoyu said with a smile: "He can beat such a powerful pig to death."
After speaking, Li Baoyu said to Jin Xiaomei: "How can this old Songtou compare with our Ruhai family?"
"Don't talk nonsense." Jin Xiaomei said defensively: "Who in the whole village doesn't know what we, Ruhai, are talking about, and we never talk blindly."
His mother spoke highly of her son, so Li Baoyu smiled and said nothing, and everyone continued to eat.
Although there were only four dishes today, both families had a good meal. The three little girls finished eating first and then went to play with the little lynx in the room opposite.
Next came Wang Meilan and Jin Xiaomei. After eating, they went to the outhouse to clean up.
After Zhao Youcai, Li Dayong and Li Baoyu finished drinking, Jin Xiaomei said to Wang Meilan: "Sister-in-law, I won't help you clean these few bowls left."
"Hey." Wang Meilan responded and said: "Take the children back. I will clean the remaining two bowls myself."
At this time, Jin Xiaomei came into the house and called Li Dayong, and Li Baoyu came home, which surprised the two men. After dinner, Jin Xiaomei had to help Wang Meilan wash the dishes, and then Li Dayong and the others had to drink water in the house.
How did you save this step today?
But seeing Jin Xiaomei wink at him, although Li Dayong didn't understand, he still got up with Li Baoyu and said goodbye to Zhao Youcai and Zhao Jun.
Zhao Youcai sat on the edge of the kang without moving, but Zhao Jun sent the four members of the Li family out the door, and then heard Zhao Youcai shouting from inside the room: "Son, go make some tea for dad."
"Hey..." Zhao Jun agreed, went into the back room and took the enamel jar from which Zhao Youcai usually drank tea from the table against the wall.
When Zhao Jun opened it, there was still tea leftover from Zhao Youcai's morning drink.
Zhao Jun walked to the outhouse with the tea jar, passed by Wang Meilan, poured the remaining tea leaves and tea water into the swill bucket, then turned around and poured half a ladle of water from the jar, flushing the jar inside and out.
.
At this time, Wang Meilan grabbed the rag and wiped her hands briefly, then turned around to stop Zhao Jun who was about to pour water.
Then, Wang Meilan raised her hand to signal Zhao Jun to go to the west room to take care of his two sisters, while she herself took the jar and entered the east room.
"Huh?" Seeing Wang Meilan come in, Zhao Youcai was startled, but when Wang Meilan came to the side and put the tea jar on the table, took the tea bucket to make tea for herself, Zhao Youcai said hurriedly: "Lan Na, you are busy with your business, I will
Just do it yourself.”
"Oops!" Wang Meilan turned to Zhao Youcai, smiled, and said, "You should take a rest. It's been a tiring day at work."
"Huh?" Zhao Youcai was stunned, thinking why did this girl change her appearance? She was still acting strangely while eating!
Just like that, Zhao Youcai watched blankly as Wang Meilan opened the tea bucket, pinched out a handful of tea leaves and put it in the tea jar, and then added hot water to it.
When Wang Meilan came over with a teapot and handed it to Zhao Youcai, Zhao Youcai felt flattered and stretched out his hands to take it, but Wang Meilan said: "It's hot."
Zhao Youcai hurriedly stopped, and Wang Meilan put the teapot on the Kang table for him.
Zhao Youcai looked at the tea vat and then at Wang Meilan. For some reason, Zhao Youcai felt something was wrong.
At this time, Wang Meilan sat sideways on the edge of the kang and asked Zhao Youcai with a smile: "Is your forest farm going to have winter transportation?"
"Ah!" Zhao Youcai nodded subconsciously.
Wang Meilan asked again: "Are you tired from working recently?"
Zhao Youcai blinked his eyes and felt even more uneasy. He was a cook, not a worker. Whether the forest farm was in winter transportation or not, his workload was only that much.
"I'm not tired." Zhao Youcai gritted his teeth, forced a smile, and said, "I don't have anything to do all day, so I just go to work as usual."
"That's right." Wang Meilan still smiled and said: "We have to go to work hard."
"Well." Zhao Youcai felt more and more unsure. He turned and glanced outside the door, only to find that the door to the west room was tightly closed. Zhao Youcai suddenly felt bad.
But what Zhao Youcai didn't expect was that Wang Meilan said to him: "Dad, that's it for this month. Starting from next month, you will keep an extra five yuan for yourself every month."
"What?" When Zhao Youcai heard this, he almost jumped up from the kang!
Wang Meilan smiled and said: "I said, starting from next month, I will leave ten yuan in your pocket every month."
Zhao Youcai's eyes widened in surprise, looking at Wang Meilan in disbelief, and asked: "Is it true?"
"Really." Wang Meilan said with some emotion: "Our family's conditions are better now, and our son is mature enough. I don't care about you that much anymore. Just be good and don't cause trouble!"
When Wang Meilan said the last five words of this sentence, her tone suddenly increased.
"No, no." Zhao Youcai shook his head repeatedly and said with a smile: "I can't cause trouble, I will listen to you."
Wang Meilan smiled after hearing this, walked out of the outhouse and continued washing dishes.
At this time at Li's house, Jin Xiaomei told Li Dayong that Zhao Youcai was not at home the day before yesterday, but she did not say that she told Wang Meilan about it.
After hearing this, Li Dayong was so anxious for his eldest brother that he kept chanting: "My eldest brother is in danger!"
After a night.
When I woke up the next morning, it was still cloudy, and there was still sleet and snow today.
Zhao Youcai got up first, steamed the dry food, and hummed a tune to prepare breakfast for the family.
After finishing the meal, Zhao Youcai went to work happily. When Li Dayong looked at Zhao Youcai's condition, he still couldn't believe it.
But with Li Baoyu and Lin Xiangshun nearby, Li Dayong could not say anything. When they arrived at the forest farm, the group took the small train off and entered the forest farm, but they could not see Li Ruhai in front of the mail room!
Normally, on the second day of his night shift, Li Ruhai would have to greet the workers at the door. Today, no one was outside. Li Dayong and Li Baoyu were afraid that something would happen to Li Ruhai.
Li Baoyu had fast legs and rushed into the mail room in a few steps, but turned around and came out again.
"It's a storage room." Li Baoyu said to Li Dayong: "Ruhai said he didn't sleep well last night."
Hearing Li Baoyu's words, Zhao Youcai secretly smiled and thought: "This is frightening the child. Okay, now he won't dare to spend money randomly, nor will he dare to pick up things..." p>
Thinking of this, Zhao Youcai felt that life was getting better day by day, and decided that he would no longer be like a child.
Further inside, Li Baoyu and Lin Xiangshun went to the motorcade together, and Li Dayong took the opportunity to pull Zhao Youcai aside and asked Zhao Youcai: "Brother, how are you?"
"Huh?" Zhao Youcai was stunned by Li Dayong's question, and then said: "How is it? How good is your elder brother now?"
As he talked, Zhao Youcai couldn't help but laugh.
The two were closer than brothers, so Li Dayong stopped hiding and asked Zhao Youcai directly: "Didn't my sister-in-law deal with you?"
"Why are you trying to deal with me?" Zhao Youcai smiled, raised his hand, slapped Li Dayong and said, "From now on, your sister-in-law will leave me an extra five yuan every month."
After Zhao Youcai finished speaking, Li Dayong didn't smile. For a moment, Zhao Youcai felt something was wrong and asked Li Dayong what he knew.
Li Dayong was a little confused at this time, but he also told Zhao Youcai what he knew.
When Li Dayong finished speaking, the smile on Zhao Youcai's face froze, and he was instantly stunned!
