What happened to Wang Dalong happened so suddenly. Zhao Youcai woke up at about three o'clock today and hurried back. This journey was really not easy, and he had no time to calculate the gains and losses of this trip.
But he just came out of Wang Dalong's house and Zhao Youcai was on his way home when he realized that this trip was a huge loss!
Not to mention that he was tired, and whatever money he earned was given back to others. The fifty yuan that Wang Meilan gave him had more than ten yuan left at this time. Counting the ten yuan that he lent to Wei Xiaojuan, Zhao Youcai still had more in his pocket.
More than twenty.
But before Zhao Youcai left, he promised Wang Meilan that he would go hunting for prey and when he came back after selling the money, he would give Wang Meilan 100 yuan.
Now, where can I get this hundred yuan?
There is still some money in his small treasury, but when the money is touched, Zhao Youcai feels like a knife!
Therefore, Zhao Youcai prepared to default on the debt.
Zhao Youcai was lying there pretending to sleep, and Wang Meilan didn't pay attention to him. She, who is in a big business for everyone, didn't need the hundred yuan. She usually kept strict control because Zhao Youcai was dishonest. Seeing that Zhao Youcai was tired today, Wang Meilan couldn't bear to make things difficult for him.<
/p>
So when the pot boiled, Wang Meilan put the food in, and when the noodles were cooked, she asked Zhao Youcai to get up and eat.
While eating, Zhao Youcai was still a little absent-minded. But Wang Meilan didn't say anything and went to the side to poke at her braziers.
Wang Meilan looked at these braziers, and the more she looked at them, the more satisfied she became. Zhao Youcai, who was eating noodles over there, wanted to complain, but he felt guilty and did not dare to say anything.
When Zhao Youcai finished his meal and put down his chopsticks, Li Dayong and Li Baoyu came back.
The two men were far away from home when they heard a dog barking, and their eyes lit up.
Li Dayong: "My eldest brother is back!"
Li Baoyu: "My brother is back!"
The two walked home quickly. When they arrived at Zhao's house, they looked into the courtyard and saw that it was Little Bear and the others who were back. Li Dayong laughed and walked into the house.
Although it was not Zhao Jun who came back, Li Baoyu followed him into the house.
When Li Dayong and Li Baoyu came back, Wang Meilan hurriedly greeted them to come in. When Zhao Youcai saw Li Dayong, he felt sad in his heart.
Finally met someone I know well!
The two brothers exchanged pleasantries, and then heard Li Dayong say to Zhao Youcai: "Brother, we have a big paw here."
……
Qiaotou Village, Lingnan, Huang Gui’s home.
Zhao Jun, Zhang Yuanmin, Jie Chen, and Huang Gui were eating around the kang table.
It’s still good wine and good food, but compared to usual, Zhang Yuanmin talked a lot less tonight.
At this time, Song Lan came in with a white porcelain basin, which was also filled with pork belly and cabbage.
Song Lan put the basin in the middle of the kang table and said with a smile: "The pig's belly is not frozen at all, so I will boil some cabbage for you!"
"Sister-in-law, I am very proud of this dish." Jie Chen said with a smile. Song Lan heard this and said with a smile: "Brother, please eat more."
After saying that, Song Lan turned around and was about to walk out, but her eyes inadvertently swept across Zhang Yuanmin's face, and Song Lan suddenly stopped.
Song Lan also felt strange. Why did she feel today that this brother Zhang looked similar to the old idiot Zhang from his family?
Zhang Yuanmin felt even more embarrassed when Song Lan looked at him like this. When Huang Gui saw this, he raised his neck and said to Song Lan: "Hurry up and have dinner with the child in that room."
"Hey." Song Lan took another deep look at Zhang Yuanmin before walking to the room opposite.
After Song Lan left, Huang Gui raised a glass to greet Zhang Yuanmin and Xie Chen drank. No one at the table mentioned Zhang Da nb, Zhang Da fool or anything like that.
Zhao Jun ate vegetables instead of drinking. He took a bite of cabbage-stewed pork belly and felt that there was a lack of chili oil, so he went to the outhouse to get it.
When Zhao Jun walked to the outhouse, he faintly heard the voices of Song Lan's mother and son talking from the opposite room.
Huang Minqiang lowered his voice and said to Song Lan in a low voice: "You didn't leave the house before. I heard it really loudly. Then Uncle Zhang said that his father was a big nb. He left my eldest grandma and the others behind. (pu
) son is here to herd the cows."
"Oh my God!" When Song Lan heard this, her eyes widened in surprise, "Why did I look at him and he looked so confused! Oh my god! If I had known better, I wouldn't have said that!"
After saying these words, Song Lan looked up at Huang Guofu and Huang Minqiang and asked: "No, why did they mention your Uncle Zhang's father?"
"Ah..." Huang Guofu thought for a moment and said, "Uncle Zhao promised me, Uncle Shao, that he would come over next year and drive away that tiger mother in Lao Gutter. Just as he was talking, Uncle Zhang shouted,
He said he also had a way to drive away the tiger mother, and then he mentioned his father."
"His father?" Song Lan frowned when he heard this, and Huang Minqiang interjected: "Well, it's ridiculous to say he is his father."
Song Lan twitched the corner of her mouth and stopped complaining.
But Huang Minqiang asked Song Lan curiously, "Mom, are there so many tiger mothers in my eldest grandma's house?"
"Yeah!" Song Lan nodded and said: "I remember that at that time, when we went up the mountain to pick up mushrooms or something, a dozen people had to go together, and every step of the way, we had to hit the tree with a stick and scream." <
/p>
"Mom!" Upon hearing this, Huang Minqiang hurriedly asked: "Do you have any siege troops in your fort? Just fuck that tiger mother and you're done!"
"Yes." Song Lan said: "If I do, I dare not take a look at it. That tiger mother is not an ordinary thing!"
Speaking of this, Song Lan seemed to think of something and smiled.
"Mom, why are you laughing?" Huang Guofu asked curiously, and Song Lan whispered: "I remembered that your uncle Zhang's father has no talent. The brigade wants to deal with him and let your uncle and grandpa do it."
Stopped.
When it's over, your Uncle Zhang's father said that he has come up with a trick that can beat the Tiger Mother."
"What's the trick?"
"What's the trick?"
The two brothers asked in unison, and Zhao Jun outside the door couldn't help but pricked up his ears.
I only heard Song Land say: "He said, let the brigade bring out a calf, and he will lead it to the ditch where he usually grazes the cattle. After that, he asked a few gunners to squat in the outer ring. If the tiger mother wants to come over to eat the calf, the gunner will fire
Shoot."
"This is a good move!" As soon as Song Lan finished speaking, Huang Guofu couldn't help but praise: "It sounds very good."
"Yeah!" Huang Minqiang nodded in agreement.
This may be the skill of the old Zhang family, and Zhang Yuanmin is also like this. Whatever clever ideas he comes up with, he can always get the unanimous approval of others.
"Ha! Just put it in front of me!" But Song Lan sneered and said: "When the tiger mother comes, the calf immediately gets hairy when he smells the smell on her body! He squeals to get out, you
Uncle Zhang and his father couldn't hold him back, so he just knocked him down. It's over, you say that little kid, try your best to tease him home.
It doesn't matter if he teases her, he's heading to your uncle Han's house. Your uncle Han is holding a gun and is about to shoot the tiger mother, but the calf pokes him."
"Ah? Hahaha..." I don't blame Huang Guofu, Huang Minqiang is not kind. They have never been back to Hansongbaozi since they were young, and they don't know who his second uncle Han is. I just think it sounds very interesting.<
/p>
At this time, Zhao Jun, who was listening in the corner outside, was suppressing his joy. At the same time, Zhao Jun remembered something.
I remember that day he and Zhang Yuanmin were going up the mountain to hunt lynx, and they were going to lead a sheep there to attract the lynx.
Zhao Youcai was also at home at that time, and they searched for the source together. At that time, Zhao Youcai, who had used sheep to catch leopards, personally admitted that the method of using sheep to attract leopards and lynxes was taught to him by Zhang Yuanmin's father.
After listening to Song Lan's words just now, Zhao Jun knew that he, the old man Zhang, had once used a calf to catch a tiger.
Zhao Jun shook his head slightly and walked to the window sill outside the house to get chili oil.
What he didn't know was that at this time Huang Guoqiang asked his mother again: "Mom, what happened next?"
"Then?" Song Lan couldn't help laughing and said: "Later, our team always lost cows, and they all said it was your Uncle Zhang and his father who fed the tiger mother."
"Hahaha..." The two brothers laughed happily, but Song Lan asked again: "How about our ditch be renamed Hugou ditch?"
Zhang Yuanmin once said that his father guarded the Hugou ditch. This is absolutely true, otherwise the ditch would not have been renamed because of it.
……
It was around four o'clock the next morning, and it was still dark outside.
Yongxing Team 7, Xu Jinqiang’s home.
Xiao Yahong, who is in confinement, is drinking millet porridge spoonful by spoonful.
Given the conditions these days, it would be quite extraordinary to be able to eat millet porridge and eggs during confinement!
It’s just that this thing is tasteless, and it’s okay if you eat it for a day or two, but no one can bear it if you eat too much. Therefore, others have to eat separately from Xiao Yahong, otherwise Xiao Yahong will be greedy for pickles when she sees them eating them.
At this time, in the outhouse, Aunt Qi Wu Dongxia was having dinner with her sister Wu Qiuxia and nephew Xu Jinqiang.
Wu Dongxia held the bowl, drank all the cornstarch porridge in one gulp, and then rubbed a piece of steamed bun into the bowl. After putting the steamed bun in her mouth, Wu Dongxia said to Wu Qiuxia: "Sister, I will go back in a while."
p>
"Do you really want to leave?" Wu Qiuxia frowned and said, "How many more days can we stay?"
"That's right." Xu Jinqiang put down the bowl and said, "Fourth Aunt, you stay here for a few more days, and then I'll see if any of them have a car to drive over, and I'll ask them to carry it for you."
"No need." Wu Dongxia said: "Your seventh uncle from the second team, won't he go to work at the forest farm? I will follow him later."
"Ah?" Xu Jinqiang was startled and asked, "Is he back?"
The "seventh uncle" Wu Dongxia refers to is none other than Wu Feng, the leader of the dispatching team of Yong'an Forestry Farm.
Wu Feng lives in Yongxing No. 2 Team. Since there is no commuter bus here, he bought a Happy 250 motorcycle and rides it back and forth to work.
But even so, he can't afford to run every day. Wu Feng only comes back once every two or three days in the summer, and every four or five days in the winter.
So if Auntie Lao Qi wants to ride on his car, she has to wait until Wu Feng comes back.
"Back." Wu Dongxia said: "I went yesterday to ask about his wife."
Hearing what Wu Dongxia said, Xu Jinqiang urged: "Then can he send you to the village? After getting off the car, you still have to walk a long way. How cold is it today?"
"It's okay, it's okay." Wu Dongxia said with a smile: "I asked him to put it at the Tuanjie Bridge for me, and I walked on the bridge and got home in about forty minutes."
"That's right..." Xu Jinqiang was about to persuade her again, but was interrupted by his mother Wu Qiuxia, saying: "Okay, son, let your fourth aunt leave. If she doesn't leave, she won't be able to sleep at night."
p>
"Ah? Ah!" When Wu Qiuxia said this, Xu Jinqiang came to his senses and couldn't help but said apologetically to Wu Dongxia: "Fourth Aunt, the child has been crying these past few days and you haven't slept well."
"Oh, no!" Upon hearing what Xu Jinqiang said, Wu Dongxia quickly waved her hands and said: "It has nothing to do with that, what am I..."
She said it didn't matter, but Wu Dongxia stopped talking in the middle of her words.
"It has nothing to do with my eldest grandson." Wu Qiuxia on the side said with a smile: "Your fourth aunt, don't you know yet? If he wants to know something, won't she panic if he doesn't go back to the countryside to promote it?"<
/p>
"Haha..." Wu Dongxia laughed when she heard this, reached out and patted Wu Qiuxia on the arm, and said: "What are you talking about, sister?"
At this time, Xu Jinqiang also understood what was going on, because his mother was the same way. Therefore, Xu Jinqiang stopped trying to persuade Wu Dongxia, and just smiled and said to her: "Fourth Aunt, you go back, wait until the pigs are killed before the Chinese New Year.
I'll pick you and my brother-in-law up."
After saying that, Xu Jinqiang turned to Wu Qiuxia and said: "Mom, look at the sticky rice at home and give my fourth aunt some more."
"Oh, don't do it!"
Wu Dongxia said no, but in the end she left with half a bag of sticky rice.
At this time, Xiao Yahong was in confinement and could not live without people around her. Wu Qiuxia stayed behind to take care of her daughter-in-law, and asked Xu Jinqiang to send Wu Dongxia to find Wu Feng.
In this way, Xu Jinqiang carried half a bag of yellow rice and sent Wu Dongxia to Wu Feng's home in the second team of Yongxing.
When Wu Dongxia came over yesterday, she made an agreement with Wu Feng's wife to ask Wu Feng to take her back today.
Although it was only five o'clock, Wu Feng rode a motorcycle for nearly three hours from Yongxing Brigade to Yong'an Forest Farm. By this time, Wu Feng had already dressed and was waiting for Wu Dongxia to arrive.
As soon as Wu Dongxia arrived, Wu Feng came out of the house. He took the dough bag from Xu Jinqiang's hand, put the half bag of yellow rice and Wu Dongxia's luggage on the back of the motorcycle and tied them up.
While Wu Feng was tying things up, Wu Dongxia urged Xu Jinqiang to go back, saying that she still had children at home who needed to be taken care of.
After hearing what Wu Dongxia said, Wu Feng also said: "Jin Qiang, please go back, it's okay."
Wu Feng and Wu Dongxia were related, and both Wu Feng and Wu Feng called Wu Dongxia the fourth sister. Hearing what Wu Feng said, Xu Jinqiang was relieved to hand over Wu Dongxia to him. After saying hello to Wu Dongxia, Xu Jinqiang hurried to
Walk home.
Seeing Xu Jinqiang walking away, Wu Dongxia immediately changed her face, moved closer to Wu Feng who was wearing a noodle bag, and whispered: "Feng, have you heard about it?"
"Huh?" Wu Feng was startled when he heard this and asked: "What did you hear? What's wrong, Fourth Sister?"
Wu Dongxia was very good at exaggerating the atmosphere. She did not reply to Wu Feng's words at this moment, but looked up at Wu Feng's daughter-in-law Sun Xiuqin and asked: "Xiuqin, you didn't tell Feng about such a big thing?"
She was so nagging, but Wu Feng and his wife were confused. Seeing Wu Feng looking at her, Sun Xiuqin hurriedly asked Wu Dongxia, "What's the matter, Fourth Sister?"
"That's it..." As soon as Wu Dongxia said three words, she touched around around, and when she saw no one around, she moved forward.
At this time, Wu Feng and his wife also cooperated with Wu Dongxia, and Wu Dongxia whispered: "It's just the matter of Li Mouse's wife, breaking shoes with others."
"Oh!" As soon as Wu Dongxia said this, Wu Feng and Sun Xiuqin both laughed. Wu Feng didn't say anything anymore, but quickly tied up the dough bag, then took Wu Dongxia's baggage and prepared to tie it up.<
/p>
"Fourth sister!" Sun Xiuqin said to Wu Dongxia with a smile: "What am I thinking about? Is it just this? I told him, I told him!"
Wu Feng only comes back once a week, so Sun Xiuqin has to tell Wu Feng everything that happened in the team this week.
Sun Xiuqin and Wu Feng talked about this topic for half an hour.
Hearing Sun Xiuqin's words, Wu Dongxia smiled faintly, raised her chin at Sun Xiuqin, and asked: "Then do you know who Li Mouse's wife is following?"
"Huh?" Sun Xiuqin was stunned when asked, and subconsciously replied: "Didn't you say you were with a siege?"
Wu Dongxia turned around again, called Wu Feng who was tying up the baggage, and asked: "Feng, do you know who it is?"
Wu Feng looked at Wu Dongxia and said nothing, just shook his head. At this time, he did not take this seriously.
But seeing Wu Dongxia sneer on her face, she said every word: "Follow Zhao Youcai!"
"What?" Wu Feng exclaimed, his hands loosened, and Aunt Qi's baggage fell to the ground!
