With Wang Meilan’s level of education, it is impossible to say that people are treated like swordsmen and others are treated like fish and meat.
But at this time, Zhao Youcai also understood. Wang Meilan was just hinting that she was like the ham sausage on the cutting board. She, Wang Meilan, had the final say whether to shred or slice it!
That’s not true!
Zhao Youcai suddenly turned his head, looked at Wang Meilan and said: "Give me a whole piece of green onion."
"Ouch!" Wang Meilan was startled when she heard this, and hurriedly walked to the foot of the north window, picked up a green onion, and pulled out a green onion leaf.
This was for the frying pan. Wang Meilan simply washed the green onion leaves and handed them to Zhao Youcai who chopped them into chopped green onions.
"Woof woof woof..."
Suddenly, a dog barked outside the house. Zhao Youcai looked out the window, but it was pitch black.
Wang Meilan hurried to the door, opened it and walked into the courtyard. But she had already reached the door of the courtyard and saw no one outside.
"Ah uh..."
At this time, the sound of crying and howling was mixed with the barking of dogs, reaching Wang Meilan's ears directly.
Wang Meilan frowned and turned her attention to the Li family next door.
At this time, in the old Li family, Li Baoyu and Li Xiaoqiao were in the west room. The brother and sister were sitting on the kang. Li Xiaoqiao said to Li Baoyu: "Brother, what happened to my second brother? Why did he get beaten as soon as he got off work?" p>
Li Baoyu reached out and touched Li Xiaoqiao's little head, and said to her with a smile: "Your second brother spends money indiscriminately, and his parents don't beat him much."
"I'm going to let you spend money indiscriminately! Let you spend money indiscriminately!" Li Dayong took a whip made of a triangle belt and whipped Li Ruhai repeatedly.
At this time, Li Ruhai was shirtless, kneeling on the ground, holding the edge of the kang with both hands, and was being slapped one by one by Li Dayong.
Li Dayong held the whip in his right hand, rolled up his sleeve with his left hand along his right wrist, then pointed back at Li Ruhai and shouted: "Say! Do you still dare?"
"Aha! Aha!" Li Ruhai cried so hard that he couldn't even speak.
"Pa!"
"Ah!"
Another whipping made Li Ruhai scream. Li Dayong pointed at him and shouted: "What are you asking? Are you so deaf?"
"I don't dare, ah..." Li Ruhai cried with snot and tears. Facing Li Dayong's questioning, he wailed: "I've said it four or five times, why do you still ask?"
Li Dayong: "..."
While Li Dayong was speechless, he couldn't help but become angry and swung his whip and hit Li Ruhai again.
"Pa!"
"Ah..."
"Okay, okay!" Jin Xiaomei suddenly raised her hand and persuaded Li Dayong.
Li Dayong's face was gloomy, and he turned to Jin Xiaomei and said: "Xiaomei, you've only been gone for two days, and this little kid has caused a lot of trouble!"
"Oh!" Jin Xiaomei stood up, took the whip from Li Dayong's hand, threw it on the table next to her, then reached out to help Li Ruhai and said: "Okay, get up."
"Ah...Mom..." Li Ruhai cried and was about to hug Jin Xiaomei, but Jin Xiaomei took a step back, raised her finger and pointed at Li Ruhai's nose, saying: "Hold it back! If you call again, I will let your dad continue to hit you.
You."
When Li Ruhai heard this, he sobbed twice rapidly and suddenly stopped crying.
Jin Xiaomei rolled her eyes at him, turned around and walked towards the outhouse, shouting at the same time: "Hurry up and set the table for dinner, what time is it!"
As soon as Jin Xiaomei said this, Li Ruhai ran out to get the dishes and chopsticks before he could wipe away the tears on his chin.
Li Dayong followed Li Ruhai out, stood at the door of the room, and said to Li Ruhai who opened the dish rack: "Ruhai, look, those little leather shoes you bought are perfect for your mother."
Since I came back yesterday, Jin Xiaomei has looked very pretty when she put on these leather shoes. It was cloudy this morning, and she went out for a long walk in her leather shoes.
When Li Ruhai heard Li Dayong's words, two lines of tears flowed down his cheeks.
When Jin Xiaomei, who was serving vegetables from the pot, heard this, she lowered her head and glanced at the leather shoes on her feet, then called to Li Ruhai and said, "When you are rich again, I will buy you and my dad a belt." These days, people in forest areas and rural areas usually tie their trousers with cloth belts. What’s even more difficult is to tie them with a hemp rope. Therefore, what Jin Xiaomei is talking about now is a belt.
When Jin Xiaomei said this, Li Baoyu and Li Xiaoqiao came out of the west room. Hearing Jin Xiaomei's words, Li Baoyu smiled and said: "Mom, you want a belt, I will buy it for you and my dad."
When Jin Xiaomei heard this, she turned to look at her eldest son. At this time, Li Dayong asked Jin Xiaomei in surprise: "Xiaomei, why are you thinking about buying a belt?"
"Ah, haha." Jin Xiaomei laughed and said, "I went to his uncle's house that day. In their village, the village chief used a belt to beat his son."
"Uh uh uh uh..." As soon as Jin Xiaomei finished speaking, bursts of crying came from the dish rack. However, Li Ruhai's half body was blocked by the open dish rack door, so no one could see his painful expression. p>
"Hold it back!" Li Dayong yelled at Li Ruhai and said, "If you yell like that again, I'll beat you to death."
When Li Dayong shouted, Li Ruhai's side fell silent for an instant. The two of them came out with a pile of five bowls in their hands and a pair of chopsticks in their right hands, sobbing and running to the east room.
……
When Wang Meilan returned to the house, Zhao Youcai had already burst into green onions. Seeing Wang Meilan come in, Zhao Youcai asked: "Lan, who is here?"
When he heard the dogs barking outside, Zhao Youcai thought it was someone coming. But Wang Meilan smiled and said, "Ruhai is howling at home. When he barks, the dogs in the yard will bark too."
"That's right!" Zhao Youcai said "that's right" in a clear voice, then put the shredded beans and ham sausage slices into the pot together, stir-fried, and said to Wang Meilan: "Dayong should have beaten him a long time ago."
"Yes." Wang Meilan said expressionlessly: "If you make a mistake, you still have to be punished?"
Zhao Youcai: "..."
The dried shredded beans are soaked first and then blanched, and they are basically cooked. As for the ham sausage, even if it is not fried, it is okay to eat it directly.
Therefore, this dish was very cooked. Zhao Youcai used a spatula to stir-fry it for a few times and it was ready.
At this time, the door of the west room also opened. The lively barking of dogs outside just now woke up Zhao Jun and his ministers. They turned on the lamp and looked at their watches. It was already this time, and they quickly got off the kang and came out.
"Uncle!" Seeing Zhao Youcai, Jie Chen greeted him hurriedly: "Are you off work?"
"Yeah." Zhao Youcai put the vegetables into a basin and smiled at Jie Chen: "My nephew is here to eat. Let us have some drinks."
For Zhao Youcai, Jie Chen is undoubtedly the savior. With him around, Wang Meilan will not go too far.
Jie Chen responded with a smile, while Zhao Jun frowned and glanced outside the house, then asked Wang Meilan: "Mom, what is the dog barking for?"
"Ah." Wang Meilan said with a smile: "Ruhai was beaten. When he cried, the dogs outside started barking."
When Zhao Jun heard this, he glanced outside, smashed his mouth, turned around and said to Jie Chen: "Let's wash our hands and eat."
When Zhao Jun and Jie Chen came to the east room, Zhao Youcai, Zhao Hong, and Zhao Na had already sat down, while Wang Meilan was standing under the Kang, serving rice to several people.
Seeing the two people coming in, Zhao Youcai raised his hand and called to Xie Chen: "Come on, get on the Kang."
Jie Chen agreed, went up to the kang and sat on the right side of Zhao Youcai. He took the wine bottle and poured wine for Zhao Youcai.
Zhao Jun sat down on Jie Chen's right, looked at the dishes on the table, and asked Zhao Youcai in surprise: "Dad, how did you fry this dish? Why didn't you shred the ham?"
Hearing what Zhao Jun said, Jie Chen also turned his attention to the strange ham sausage slices and fried beans.
It's just that Jie Chen is a guest. When he eats at Zhao Jun's house, he has to eat whatever is served. Zhao Jun can say it, but he can't.
When asked by Zhao Jun, Zhao Youcai seemed not to have listened. He pointed to the Yuquan square bottle of wine on the table and said to Jie Chen: "Nephew, did you buy this?"
"Uncle, my eldest brother bought this for you." Jie Chen looked at the wine bottle in his hand and said with a smile: "When my eldest brother comes again, he has to go directly to Lengchang. I happened to be here today, and he asked me to give it to you.
Take something with my aunt."
"Hi." Zhao Youcai smiled, held up the wine glass, and said, "We men don't have those words."
At this time, Wang Meilan served Zhao Jun a bowl of rice, placed the rice bowl in front of Zhao Jun, and then answered Zhao Jun's question with a smile, saying: "Son, we eat at home, and you can cut whatever you want." p>
Only Zhao Youcai understood what Wang Meilan said, while Zhao Jun and Jie Chen thought Wang Meilan was joking and did not take her words to heart.
The six people gathered around the kang table to eat and drink. After Zhao Youcai finished half a glass of wine, he asked Zhao Jun: "Son, your mother said you want to lead the dog to catch badgers at night?"
"Yeah." Zhao Jun said: "We can catch it, otherwise if it snows again, won't all the badgers go into their holes?"
Although badgers are semi-hibernating animals, they, like black bears, cannot enter their holes after the first snow falls.
It rained and snowed yesterday, but it fell quickly and melted quickly, so it can’t be considered the first snow.
In the mountains and forests, there are many wild beasts that are very sensitive to the climate. Like badgers, black bears, and brown bears, they know that winter is coming when they experience the sleet. Then, they will rush in before the next snow.
, collect as much food as possible to add some fat to your body.
If you want to catch fat, you have to look for more common foods. Bears are large, so you mainly have to hunt for pine nuts and soft dates.
As for badgers, they will collect some dried fruits and hide them in their holes in late autumn. But when they are catching fat, the most common food they eat is mice.
In this mountain, the most indispensable thing is mountain rats!
Therefore, in summer and autumn, experienced hunters will take their hunting dogs to catch badgers in the stone ponds in the mountains or in the fields around ten o'clock at night.
As the saying goes: The mantis stalks the cicada, but the oriole follows behind.
When badgers go out to catch mice at night, they also face the risk of being surrounded by hunters and hunting dogs.
Seeing that the weather is getting colder and colder, Zhao Jun needs to catch some badgers as soon as possible, otherwise it will be troublesome to dig out badger holes when the badgers have hibernated in the snow.
In the winter in the Northeast, temperatures can reach minus 40 degrees Celsius in a few days, which is really freezing cold.
When the ground is frozen, even pickaxes and planers cannot dig out, so how can we dig out a badger's hole? Even with the help of "badger" Zhang Yuanmin and the help of the Zhang family's ancestral magic weapons, the operation is still very laborious.
Wang Meilan eats fried eggs with badger seeds for a long time. Therefore, Zhao Jun should try to catch as many badgers as possible before hibernating. It is best to put them in a tank of oil and let her eat them slowly.
At this time, Zhao Youcai raised his glass and clinked it with Jie Chen. Zhao Youcai took a big sip first, and Jie Chen took a look and followed suit.
As a result, the glass of wine that the two of them poured just now is only at the bottom of the glass.
Seeing that the two of them were still unfinished, Zhao Jun quickly advised him: "Dad, please let Jie Chen drink less. We have to take a break after dinner and have to leave."
"What are you afraid of?" Zhao Youcai waved his hand and said: "Why don't you just catch a badger? You can go at ten o'clock, you can go at twelve o'clock. After catching it, you can come back and sleep. Anyway, you two don't
Go to work and sleep until whatever time you like tomorrow."
"That won't work!" Zhao Jun heard this and said hurriedly: "Dad, we have to go up the mountain at seven or eight o'clock tomorrow morning."
"Ah?" Zhao Youcai was startled, put down the bottle of wine, and asked, "What are you going to do tomorrow?"
"Catch pigs." Zhao Jun replied: "I won't go to work today. I have to make arrangements at the pond. Our team leader who went to see it yesterday also has the technicians at the mountain field."
In Yongan Forest Farm, the production director has a high position and is responsible for all production tasks. Under the production director, there are eight important departments. The heads of these eight departments are called the Eight Great Members of Production, also known as the Eight King Kongs. Among the eight kings, the ones who can directly control Zhao Jun are, in addition to Xu Baoshan, the leader of the acceptance team, and Zheng Quan, the mountain technician.
The day before yesterday, Zhao Jun went to Xu Baoshan's house to deliver a wild boar. Although Zhao Jun and the others had something to ask for, Xu Baoshan still had to remember Zhao Jun's favor in the end.
So, now there is only one technician left at the mountain farm. Zhao Jun plans to catch a wild boar and then go see Technician Zheng.
When Zhao Youcai heard that Zhao Jun was going to catch wild boars, he felt envious. But Zhao Jun didn't have to go to work, so he couldn't!
At this moment, the dogs outside the house barked a few more times, but only a few sporadic barks from some dogs.

Hearing this voice, Jie Chen laughed and said, "Isn't Ruhai finished with this beating?"
Zhao Jun didn't feel like it, so he subconsciously raised his head and glanced outside. At this moment, the door of Zhao Jun's house was pulled open from the outside, and Zhang Yuanmin came in with a breath of cold air.
At this time, Zhang Yuanmin was wearing a thin cotton-padded jacket on his upper body, thin cotton trousers on his lower body, and washed cloth trousers that Yang Yufeng had modified for the crotch. He wore leggings on the trouser legs, and a pair of military green cotton-padded shoes on his feet.
The key is that Zhang Yuanmin is carrying a long cloth bag on his back.
Zhao Jun took a closer look. Although he didn't know what was in the cloth bag, wasn't that piece of cloth the same one that wrapped Xiaolingdang's umbrella yesterday?
"Oh, the aid is here!" Zhao Youcai said to Zhang Yuanmin, but his eyes fell on the long cloth bag behind him.
"Uncle." Zhang Yuanmin smiled and nodded to Zhao Youcai, then greeted Wang Meilan and said: "Auntie."
"Hey!" Wang Meilan responded, and at the same time stood up and said to Zhang Yuanmin: "Sit here, and I will get you a bowl."
After saying that, Wang Meilan walked to the outhouse without asking Zhang Yuanmin if he had eaten, let alone if he wanted to take a bite.
"Auntie, hurry up and eat." Zhang Yuanmin chased him to the door in a few steps. He was so anxious that he didn't notice. The long cloth bag behind him was stuck in the door. Zhang Yuanmin took a step back and said, "I'll finish eating."
Come."
At this time, Wang Meilan came over with a rice bowl, chopsticks and a wine glass, handed it to Zhang Yuanmin with a smile and said: "If you don't want to eat, just take a few bites of food, and drink less with your uncle."
"Okay!" Zhang Yuanmin didn't see anyone else. He took the bowls and chopsticks to the edge of the kang and put down the bowls, chopsticks and cups first, then raised his hands to his chest and unbuttoned the cloth bag.
"Brother." Upon seeing this, Zhao Jun hurriedly asked: "What are you carrying on your back?"
"Hahaha..." Zhang Yuanmin held the long cloth bag in front of him, looked around at the people on the table, and finally looked at Zhao Jun, and said solemnly: "Brother, tonight I will show you what I, Zhang Yuanmin, have learned in my life!
