There was a heavy snowfall yesterday, and today the mountain animals will not easily get out of their nests, so after Zhao Jun and the others finished their morning meal, they chatted at Huang Gui's house.
When Chen Xueyi was chatting about roasting donkey dung eggs to eat, the two dogs in Huang Gui's front yard suddenly started barking.
"Yo!" Huang Gui stretched his neck and looked outside the courtyard. He saw a middle-aged man standing outside the door of his courtyard along the window. Seeing his appearance clearly, Huang Gui hurriedly got off the kang, pulled on his shoes and walked out.
While shouting: "Who is that? Hurry up, Zhiqiang is here!"
When Song Lan, who was working outside the house, heard this, she hurriedly rubbed her hands on her clothes and followed Huang Gui outside to welcome him.
Judging from the couple's attitude, they must be distinguished guests!
After a while, Huang Gui let one person into the house. As soon as they entered the door, Huang Gui raised his hand to Zhang Yuanmin and introduced the man: "This is Yuanmin."
As soon as the man heard this, he quickly walked towards Zhang Yuanmin, and after a few steps away, he reached out to Zhang Yuanmin.
"Ouch!" Zhang Yuanmin stood up quickly, held hands with the man, and looked at Huang Gui at the same time.
Huang Gui put his hands on the man's shoulders and said to Zhang Yuanmin: "This is Shao Jun's father."
"Ah!" Zhang Yuanmin smiled and nodded repeatedly after hearing this.
"This is Zhao Jun." Zhang Yuanmin introduced Zhao Jun to Shao Zhiqiang.
When Shao Zhiqiang shook hands with Zhao Jun, he said with a smile: "I have admired your name for a long time, and I always hear my brother Huang talk about you."
Zhao Jun smiled, and after Shao Zhiqiang shook hands with Jie Chen, Song Lan greeted: "Zhiqiang, get on the Kang, and I'll get you some water."
"Stop working, sister-in-law." Shao Zhiqiang hurriedly stopped Song Lan and said, "I'll leave right away."
"Then why are you in a hurry?" Huang Gui said, "Let's eat here at noon and let your sister-in-law prepare two dishes."
"No!" Shao Zhiqiang waved his hand and said, "Brother Huang, I came to your house just to greet you. Come to my house for dinner in the evening."
As he spoke, Shao Zhiqiang raised his hand and said to Zhao Jun and others: "These little brothers, as well as my sister-in-law, Guo Fu, Min Qiang, all come to my house at night."
When Huang Gui heard this, he knew that the old Shao family wanted to be the host to thank Zhang Yuanmin for bringing his single seedling back from the mountains.
At this time, Song Lan asked Shao Zhiqiang with a smile: "Zhiqiang, what are you doing?"
"Just come, sister-in-law." Shao Zhiqiang waved to Song Lan and said, "Now that you are here, you can help your younger siblings with their work. Otherwise, she would not be able to survive by herself."
After Song Lan heard what Shao Zhiqiang said, he turned his attention to Huang Gui. Huang Gui first nodded to Song Lan, and then said to Shao Zhiqiang: "Okay, let's go there tonight."
"We'll have dinner tonight." Shao Zhiqiang said with a smile, "You have to come here early."
As soon as Shao Zhiqiang finished speaking, he received a positive reply from Huang Gui. He smiled slightly, turned around and stretched out his hand to Zhang Yuanmin. While briefly shaking hands with Zhao Jun and the other three, Shao Zhiqiang said a treat.
After Zhao Jun and the others were polite with Shao Zhiqiang, Shao Zhiqiang said goodbye to everyone. When he walked out, everyone came out to see him off and sent him out of the hospital.
After returning to the room and sitting down again, Huang Gui asked Zhao Jun and others: "Isn't this a good person?"
Hearing Huang Gui's question, Zhao Jun and the others nodded repeatedly. Shao Zhiqiang's conduct in life is much better than that of Chen Xueyi.
At this time, Song Lan put the frozen mountain grapes on the table, then raised her hand and pointed outward, saying to Zhao Jun: "The mallet your brother used to treat his leg was arranged by him."
"Ah." When Zhao Jun heard Song Lan's words, he couldn't help but think of the black tiger in the backyard. At this time, he thought that he might also be able to buy a mallet from Shao Zhiqiang.
"Sister-in-law, that person who came just now was also carrying ginseng." Jie Chen interjected and asked.
"Yeah." Song Lan nodded and said, "I am the leader, what are you thinking about?"
"Ah?" Jie Chen was stunned and said in surprise: "You don't look like a mountain runner!"
No wonder Jie Chen was suspicious, Shao Zhiqiang was elegant and well-dressed, he looked like a teacher.
"Oh!" Huang Gui sighed and said, "Where are the twenty or so people under my command?"
As he spoke, Huang Gui raised his hand and gestured toward the window, saying: "In our villages, all those who live in the mountains are willing to follow him as long as he calls."
After hearing Huang Gui's words, Zhao Jun knew that Shao Zhiqiang was not a simple man. Carrying ginseng in the mountains is different from hunting for siege. Some people hunt for siege as a hobby. Men like guns and pursue excitement.
And releasing mountains is all about money.
The fact that Shao Zhiqiang has such charisma shows that he can lead others to make money. Otherwise, who would be willing to follow him?
The Ginseng leader, who can have twenty people under his command, is considered a leader in the field of mountaineering. You must know that the Pang family gang in Yongsheng only has nine people.
She was going to a banquet in the evening, so at noon Song Lan made a simple stew of radish and potato chips soup, and also cleaned up the leftover steamed buns from the morning.
After taking a short break after lunch, Zhao Jun, Zhang Yuanmin, and Jie Chen followed Huang Gui out. The four of them went to the village shop to buy some cans and cakes, and then went home and called Song Lan, mother and son. Then, a group of people
Go straight to Shao's house.
After walking for three to five minutes, I came to a farm yard and saw green smoke rising from the chimney. Huang Guidang entered the yard first and shouted: "Who is leaving home?"
"Hey!" As soon as Huang Gui finished speaking, Shao Zhiqiang came out of the house with his wife Lin Yueying and Shao Jun.
A few people exchanged simple greetings in the courtyard, and Shao Zhiqiang let Zhao Jun and others into the room.
Shao Zhiqiang and Huang Gui walked in the front, followed by Zhao Jun, Zhang Yuanmin, Jie Chen and Shao Jun, followed by Guofu and Minqiang. And two women, Song Lan and Lin Yueying, walked at the end, holding their arms and talking.
Laughing.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw an old man standing in the outer room of the Shao family. He was probably in his sixties, with gray hair and wearing a brown cotton-padded jacket.
This old man is much taller than Zhao Jun. He is about 1.8 meters tall. Although his eyes are not big, he has kind-hearted features.
He is Shao Jun's grandfather, Shao Tianpeng.
As soon as Huang Gui from the front came in, Shao Tianpeng smiled and said: "Here you go, Huang'er."

When this old man smiled, his face became wrinkled and his eyes almost disappeared from laughter, and he looked very kind.
"Hey." Huang Gui usually urinates because of soreness, but when he saw Shao Tianpeng, he smiled, bent down, and called "Uncle Shao".
Shao Tianpeng smiled and nodded, then turned his attention to Zhao Jun and others.
At this time, Shao Jun pulled Zhang Yuanmin and introduced to Shao Tianpeng: "Sir, this is me, Brother Zhang."
Shao Tianpeng glanced at Zhang Yuanmin and found that this little man was not young anymore. It seemed inappropriate to call him a young man, so he clasped his fists at Zhang Yuanmin and said, "Man, I was at your fault yesterday."
"Hey, old man." Zhang Yuanmin waved his hands quickly, then clasped his hands together, knocked twice in mid-air to Shao Tianpeng, and said: "The people in the mountains have caught up, there is no one who won't help."
The old man smiled when he heard this and said: "That's a good thing to say. Since we have Huang'er's skills, we won't be outsiders."
Zhang Yuanmin even claimed that it was so. At this time, Shao Jun introduced Zhao Jun and the ministers to his father, and the old man smiled kindly at the two of them and said: "Welcome to my home. When you come, treat it as your own home."
"Okay, old man." Zhao Jun responded, then glanced at Shao Jun next to him, then turned back to Shao Tianpeng and said: "We three brothers are the same generation as Shao Jun, so we will always call you Master Shao." If they follow Huang Gui's argument, Zhao Jun and the others can call Shao Tianpeng uncle, but when they are away from home, they try not to give themselves a higher title.
"Hey!" Shao Tianpeng heard what Zhao Jun said and said with a smile: "What a good boy."
At this time, Zhang Yuanmin and Jiechen both stepped forward, and together with Guofu and Minqiang, they called Shao Tianpeng "Master Shao" in unison.
Shao Tianpeng responded again, then raised his chin at Song Lan who had just entered the door, and said with a smile: "Xiao Lanzi is here?"
"Uncle Shao." Song Lan had just said hello when he heard an old voice coming from the back room: "Why is it so lively outside?"
Hearing this voice, Shao Tianpeng turned his head and rushed into the room and said: "Dad, we have a visitor at home."
After saying that, Shao Tianpeng raised his hand to Zhao Jun and others and said: "Let's go into the house."
Everyone followed Shao Tianpeng into the house, and saw a big Kang under the south window in the big house on the 20th.
This big kang can accommodate ten people on it!
There is Zhang Chuyu's kang table on the kang, and there is an old man sitting on the east side of the kang table. This old man's hair and eyebrows are all white, and he has an unkempt beard, but he is wearing a clean blue cotton-padded jacket.
He was holding the kang table with one hand, and this was the only hand he had. The other cuff was resting on his cross-legged knees, and there was nothing outside the cuff.
This old man's name is Shao Yunjin. Not many people know his name, but when it comes to Shao Tuzhao, even thirty years later, many people in the Lingnan and Lingxi ginseng shops know his congratulatory name.
"Master Shao!" As soon as Huang Gui came in, he stretched out his arms, leaned forward, and handed the two butter paper packets in his hand to the edge of the kang.
"Oh!" Shao Yunjin frowned and said loudly to Huang Gui: "Come here, what are you doing with the things?"
"I didn't buy anything." Huang Gui's voice was also loud, but he probably took care of the old man's hearing loss and said: "Buy some food to honor your old man."
Shao Yunjin nodded slightly and was no longer polite, even accepting Huang Gui's gift. At this time, Zhao Jun came forward with two bottles of wine. When he placed the bottles on the edge of the Kang, he shouted to Shao Yunjin
Say "Old Master".
Shao Yunjin and Shao Tianpeng are father-in-law, but the temperaments of these two old men are completely different.
Looking at Shao Tianpeng, I just feel that this old man is very kind and makes people feel very friendly.
But Shao Yunjin is not the case. This old man of the Shao family has a fierce look on his face. Even though he is in his eighties, it still makes people feel that this old man is difficult to deal with.
Seeing Zhao Jun put the wine in front of him, Shao Yunjin glanced at Zhao Jun, then turned his face slightly and asked Shao Tianpeng loudly: "Who is this?"
"This man's surname is Zhao." Shao Tianpeng gestured his hand forward to include Zhao Jun, Zhang Yuanmin and the ministers, and then said: "He, this man, and Mr. Xie are from Lingnan.
They brought it back to our army yesterday."
"Ah!" After hearing what Shao Tianpeng said, Shao Yunjin frowned, squinted his eyes, and nodded with his mouth wide open. After a pause, he raised his eyes and looked at Shao Jun and said, "Why are you coming back? You can just die outside!"<
/p>
Although the old man's words were harsh, everyone could tell that he didn't mean what he said. Shao Jun poked his head out from behind Zhao Jun and shouted to Shao Yunjin: "If I don't come back, you are not allowed to come to me in the middle of the night.
Yeah?"
"Where should I go with you?" Shao Yunjin rolled his eyes at Shao Jun, then raised his left hand on the kang table, and called to Zhao Jun and the others: "Come on, get on the kang quickly, it's hot on top."
Hearing what Shao Yunjin said, Huang Gui, Zhao Jun, Zhang Yuanmin, and Jie Chen all went to the kang and sat on the kang with the two old men of the Shao family, while Shao Zhiqiang took Shao Jun, Guofu, and Minqiang to sit on the bench under the kang. After everyone sat down, Shao Zhiqiang took out a pack of Shilin cigarettes and opened it for everyone to smoke. Except for Zhao Jun, Guofu and Minqiang, everyone in the room actually smoked.
Especially the old Shao family, from the eighty-six-year-old Shao Yunjin to the eighteen-year-old Shao Jun, four generations of their ancestors and grandchildren have been together.
Shao Yunjin held the cigarette in his hand, exhaled a puff of smoke, looked at Zhao Jun on his right, and asked: "Boy, did you just say that you are from Lingnan?"
"Yeah." Zhao Jun just responded when the old man asked again: "Where is your family from in Lingnan?"
"Eighteen-level post." Zhao Jun was afraid that the old man didn't know Yong'an, so he reported the previous name of Yong'an Forest District.
"Ah?" As soon as Zhao Jun said this, Shao Yunjin and Shao Tianpeng were startled. Shao Yunjin stared and shouted loudly: "Our family is also from over there."
At this time, Shao Tianpeng stretched out his hand and stroked Shao Yunjin's back, signaling the old man not to be too excited. Then he asked Zhao Jun: "Mr. Zhao, what is your old man's name?"
Shao Tianpeng asked this just to see if there was any old relationship with Zhao Jun's family. Zhao Jun thought to himself that his father Zhao Youcai and Shao Tianpeng were definitely not from the same generation, let alone Shao Yunjin.
So, Zhao Jun reported his grandfather's name, and only heard him say: "My grandfather's name is Zhao Dazhu."
Shao Yunjin rolled his eyes when he heard this name. The name sounded familiar to him, but the reason was that among the people he knew, there must be seven or eight people with this name.
Shao Tianpeng on the side asked Zhao Jun: "Is the Zhao Dazhu you are talking about a siege?"
"Yes, yes!" Zhao Jun agreed repeatedly, while Shao Yunjin poked his head towards his son and asked: "Who is it?"
Shao Tianpeng smiled faintly and replied: "Dad, you don't know me."
"Ah!" After hearing what Shao Tianpeng said, Shao Yunjin didn't ask any more questions, but he looked at Zhang Yuanmin and gestured: "Isn't your family from Lingnan?"
"Ah, yes." Zhang Yuanmin said: "Old man, my father's name is Zhang Dahong, and my grandfather's name is Zhang Er'er."
For people of Zhang Yuanmin's generation, life was a problem. Famine, war, disease, some families had seven or eight children, and if they both survived, they were considered good.
If you can’t live anymore, who cares about your first and last name?
As for Zhang Yuanmin’s father, Zhang Datou was also a well-known figure in Yong’an Forestry District twenty years ago. But his father was not much older than Zhao Youcai, and was still a generation behind Shao Yunpeng.
At this time, the two old men of the Shao family looked at each other. Shao Tianpeng slowly shook his head and said with some uncertainty: "I have an impression, but I can't remember it."
"Master Shao." At this time, Zhang Yuanmin became more alert. He remembered that Shao Yunjin had a beard and was from Lingnan. He must have known the old man from his wife's natal family.
So Zhang Yuanmin frowned and shouted to Shao Yunjin across the kang table: "Old Master, do you always know Blind Man Yang?"
As soon as Zhang Yuanmin said this, Shao Yunjin glared. Even though this old man was eighty-six years old, his eyes were not cloudy at all, but rather sharp!
