When Wang Qiang came yesterday, he brought a fan of wild boar ribs and a hind thigh to Zhao Jun's family.
I stewed pork ribs last night, and I'm going to eat pork ribs tonight.
Add only Sichuan peppercorns and a little salt to the boiled water, blanch the elbows until the bones are removed, take them out and slice them into slices while they are still hot.
Pieces of elbow meat are placed on the plate and eaten with garlic paste.
In addition, there is also a pickled cabbage stewed with potato chip soup. Although there are only two dishes, the advantage is that the dishes are large. Zhao Jun’s family of five, the minister, Jie Sun, and the old lady, chatted while eating.
laugh.
Zhao Youcai and Xie Chen took a sip of wine. After putting down the glass, he said to Zhao Jun: "Qin Laosan was stabbed today. He went to the forest farm clinic to find Dr. Dong to sew it up."
"hehe."
As soon as Zhao Youcai finished speaking, Zhao Jun and Xie Chen laughed, and Zhao Jun even asked: "Dad, who do you think defeated him?"
"Who is it?" Wang Meilan asked curiously. She knew that her son had a sense of propriety. Even if he had a conflict with others, it would only be fists and kicks at most, and he would never use a knife or a gun.
"Uncle Xing." After Zhao Jun said this, Zhao Youcai reacted immediately, while Wang Meilan clicked her eyes twice, looking a little confused.
She heard her son mention this person, but she had never seen the old man.
"The second brother-in-law who came last year." Zhao Jun said to Wang Meilan: "Let me and Baoyu lead the dogs to fight the black blind man."
"Ah, ah!" Wang Meilan reacted and said, "They are uncle and nephew."
As soon as Zhao Jun nodded, the old lady asked: "Little one, is the old man you are talking about the one who puts his head under Qiuziling and presses on the shack?"
"Yes, yes." This time it was Zhao Jun's turn to be curious, and he hurriedly asked: "Nai Jiang, do you still know him?"
"I heard what Mr. Jiang said." The old lady said, "That damn old man is no longer a creature. He has snatched your fried eggs from Mr. Jiang several times."
Zhao Jun: "..."
"I live in the mountains by myself, and the longer I live, the more stubborn I become." At this time, Zhao Youcai interjected: "I looked at the old second girl of the Hu family before she married Xing Zhiyong. She could still say a few words at that time. It's over.
This year I picked up Erhei Qian'er. When I met him and I talked to him, he ignored me."
"Huh?" After hearing what Zhao Youcai said, Wang Meilan asked, "He didn't even talk to you, so why did you let the dog into his shack later?"
"Ah..." Zhao Youcai was stunned by Wang Meilan's question. He couldn't answer the question. You can't say that he just ignored me when I mentioned my son, right?
"Well..." Zhao Youcai said, "We'll get used to it after just a few words."
"That's not bad." The old lady took over the conversation and curled her lips and said: "He is a unique person and has a small face. He will attack whatever he says that is wrong. Ah..."
Speaking of this, the old lady turned to Zhao Jun and said: "You used to always mention the third uncle, the third uncle. Who else am I thinking about? Is it him after spending a long time?"
"Haha." Zhao Jun chuckled and explained to the old lady: "We also met my old uncle Hu through his second uncle."
"Hey?" Wang Meilan heard the excitement of several people and joined in forcefully, asking: "Is this person from our place? Why haven't I heard of him before?"
"How long did it take for him to beat the old man?" The old lady said, "How many years has it been? His wife and child died, and he went up the mountain."
After saying this, the old lady added: "There is a bully on the other side of Qiuziling. He is really evil."
As she said that, the old lady lifted her chopsticks and said, "In what year did we go to collect mountains and watch old Xu Pao being beaten, my daughter, can you remember?"
"Ah! Ah!" Wang Meilan clicked her eyes, suddenly remembered something, and nodded quickly: "I have an impression that back then, my old woman, me, and you, Lao Qi's sister-in-law, a group of us went up the mountain to chew Schisandra chinensis. Before we came back,
I met old Xu Pao, and I remember clearly that both sides of his face turned pale."
Schisandra chinensis is a delicious medicinal material that has the effect of nourishing the kidneys and calming the heart. Take a dozen pills each time and soak them in water to cure insomnia and hair loss.
The women in the forest rely on the mountains to eat. They pick wild vegetables in the spring, mushrooms in the autumn, and hunt pears...
There is a risk of encountering blind bears when mining mountains, so mountain collectors need to go in groups. Along the way, everyone talks, laughs, and whines to scare away the animals in advance.
As for Wang Meilan's statement that Xu Changlin's face was beaten pale, it was actually swollen. Moreover, there were slap marks on both sides of his face, which looked like someone slapped him.
"Yes, just that time!" the old lady said: "I asked the old man to beat him. I heard what those mountain dogs said when they came down the mountain. The two of them got into trouble because of a roe deer and asked Xing Laosan to beat Lao Xu.
The cannon cavalry has a big mouth."
"Ah..." After listening to the old lady talking about the past, Zhao Jun finally figured out one thing.
When he and Xu Changlin went hunting for lynx, they needed to find a place to stay in the mountains. Before going, Xu Changlin said he wanted to stay at Xing San's place. But among friends, who doesn't bring something with them?
Especially since Xing San lives in the mountains and there is nothing in the shack, it would be good to get some freeze-dried tofu and frozen soybean tofu.
But Xu Changlin didn't take anything. Later, Zhao Jun went to Old Xu's house and learned from Old Mrs. Xu that before Xu Changlin set off, she had given Xu Changlin money and asked Xu Changlin to buy things for Xing San.
But even so, Xu Changlin didn't get anything for Xing San. Even after meeting Xing San on the road, Xu Changlin relied on the relationship between Zhao Jun and Xing Zhiyong to stay in Xing San's cellar for two days.
Zhao Jun couldn't understand it at the time, but now he could understand it after hearing the old lady explain it.
"Then what's their reason today?" At this time, Wang Meilan finally asked a key question, "Why did they use the knife?"
Zhao Youcai looked at Zhao Jun, he was also curious about this question.
When Zhao Jun explained the whole story, Xie Sun was the first to comment: "This old man is really powerful."
After hearing this, everyone looked at her one after another. It seems that Xing San's actions are not worthy of praise, right?
At this time, Xie Sunshi, she sincerely admired Xing San. In daily life, Xie Sunshi was also a domineering person. But her domination relied on fists and kicks outside and poison at home.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Jie Sun also knows that her fists and kicks can only deal with some women, or people like Zhang Laibao. She usually runs rampant in the countryside, mainly because Jie Zhong is so powerful.
As for rat poison, let alone that, it all depends on the filial piety of the children.
Looking at Xing San again, a dry little old man faced an old man and a young man, and actually stabbed one away and scared away three.
Hearing that Xing San and Qin Qiang were fighting for land, Zhao Youcai thought for a while and said, "The mountain farm at Lao Lintou'er is really good."
"Dad, do you know that?" Zhao Jun asked. He was a siege fighter in his last life, but he is a junior and is not in the same path as these people.
"Yeah!" Zhao Youcai picked up the wine glass and said, "He has a big skin in the winter, and a yellow mud hill in the spring that can be used to treat deer. It's pretty good."
When visiting Yanwozi medicinal deer, you must first choose a place within the activity range of red deer, and secondly, it must be in Huangnigangzi.
In this way, that mountain farm is really a good place to make a fortune. But next spring, Zhao Jun has no plans to harvest medicinal deer.
This year it was for Wang Meilan that I tried to get the blood of a deer. Now that Wang Meilan is in good health, Zhao Jun has given up on that idea.
It’s not that Zhao Jun is soft-hearted, it’s just that there is no difference between medicinal deer, especially the end of April and early May is still the pregnancy season for female deer. Others choose medicinal deer at that time, the male deer has its velvet cut, and the female deer has its fetus. They take out the deer fetus first
Soak it in wine, then boil it into a paste and sell it for money.
This is more cruel. It used to be for Wang Meilan, but Zhao Jun doesn't plan to do it in the future.
"Son!" At this time, Wang Meilan suddenly remembered something and said to Zhao Jun: "You are going down the mountain tomorrow and want to buy two bags of dry food."
At this point, Wang Meilan added: "I want them to wrap it in flowery paper."
"Huh?" Zhao Jun was startled when he heard this and asked, "Mom, what do you want that for?"
The dry food Wang Meilan mentioned is actually snacks, such as trough cakes and Changbai cakes.
The paper-wrapped ones are actually the same as the loose ones. Adding a layer of wrapping paper costs 30 cents more.
"Today is Thursday. Your dad and the others have a day off on Sunday. Can't we pay homage to the old Ma's family?" Wang Meilan said, "You buy back the dry food tomorrow. I'll go see your Aunt Liu the day after tomorrow. I have to trouble her to run around."
It’s a trip.”
The Zhao and Ma families are having a ceremony this Sunday, and everyone in the two families knows about it. But it can't be as simple as Zhao Youcai and Wang Meilan going over and inviting people to come to their house for dinner.
According to the old rules, the matchmaker must go to Lao Ma's house in advance to inform him. The matchmaker will go to pick up the Zhao family the next day and bring the Ma family with him.
Previously, Xie Sun offended Liu Tiezui, which almost caused Liu Tiezui's career to end prematurely.
Although it was Xie Sun who caused the trouble, she was a guest of Zhao Jun's family after all, and no one could guarantee whether Liu Tiezui would hold a grudge.
Otherwise, you can't offend the matchmaker these days. Just Zhao Jun got married, and there are two younger sisters. And most people can't imagine what the future will develop like. Wang Meilan also pointed to Liu Tiezui to her eldest grandson
What about the introduction object?
"Ah!" Zhao Jun reacted and said hurriedly: "Okay, Mom, I will buy two packs tomorrow..."
"What should I buy?" Before Zhao Jun finished speaking, he was interrupted by the old lady. She said to Zhao Jun: "Xiao, there is no need to buy. I will go to her house tomorrow and I will tell her."
"Nothing else, Auntie." When Wang Meilan heard this, she quickly comforted the old lady and said, "It doesn't cost much, so we won't bother her Aunt Liu too much."
"Nothing less troublesome." The old lady said: "She has eaten all kinds of meat, so I think she still dares to take some?"
"Auntie!" No one expected that Xie Sun, who was sitting next to the old lady, stopped her, and then she said to Jie Chen: "Xiao Er'er, you go with your brother tomorrow, and you can get pastries and other things.
Spend money to buy it.”
"Huh? Ah!" Jie Chen was stunned by his mother's words. He was not a stingy person. The key was that his mother said such a sudden sentence, which made Jie Chen a little shocked.
"No need!" Wang Meilan said anxiously: "What do you want me to spend?"
"Let him spend it." Mrs. Xie Sun chuckled and said to Wang Meilan: "Sister, after you have settled the matter with the matchmaker about our Zhao Jun, you can mention our second son again."
She offended Quanren at first, but now Xie Sun regrets it.
Wang Meilan did not dare to agree immediately, but looked at the old lady and asked: "Auntie, Aunt Liu can't be still angry, right?"
"No." The old lady said, "I went to talk about Baoyu that day. I think she was very happy."
"That's fine." After hearing what the old lady said, Wang Meilan felt confident.
…
The next day, Friday, November 20, 1987.
Wang Meilan got up early in the morning, sat in the outhouse with a notebook, and used Zhao Na's unwanted pencil tip to write something in the notebook.
Until Zhao Youcai came out of the east room, walked to Wang Meilan, tilted his head and looked at it, and said: "Is this such a big deal?"
"Why not?" Wang Meilan closed the notebook, put it in her pocket, looked at the flames dancing in the stove, and said, "I am just a son. If I don't use my energy now, why should I keep it?"
?”
After saying that, Wang Meilan turned to glare at Zhao Youcai.
"Then do it quickly." Zhao Youcai was so stunned by Wang Meilan's glare that he hurriedly opened the door and went to the latrine.
By the time Zhao Jun and Jie Chen got up, it was almost five o'clock. After they finished cleaning up, Wang Meilan had already picked up the dry food from the pot.
This morning, Zhao Jun’s family ate pickled cabbage baskets.
The cornmeal is stuffed with sauerkraut filling, and there is no meat at all, but as long as it is stuffed, it is a poor man's delight in the forest areas of this era.
But Wang Meilan steamed this just because she wanted to eat it. Although there was no meat in the sauerkraut baskets she steamed, there was a lot of meat oil. After picking up the steaming sauerkraut baskets one by one under the curtain, Wang Meilan called to Zhao Jun:
"Son, give this pot to your mother-in-law and send it to them."
"I'll go, Auntie." Jie Chen hurried over and said, "I just wanted to ask my mother if I need to bring her anything."
"That's okay." Wang Meilan took a curtain tied with sorghum poles and covered the mouth of the basin before saying to Jie Chen: "Young minister, run away, or you might get cold."
Jie Chen agreed with a smile and ran out holding the basin. After he left, Wang Meilan began to steam a pot of pickled cabbage baskets.
After putting the dry food into the pot, Wang Meilan wiped her hands and went into the house to find Zhao Jun.
At this time, Zhao Jun and Zhao Youcai were feeding the bears and teasing the lynx on the kang in the west room. When they saw Wang Meilan come in, they took out a small book from his pocket, opened the page with the pencil tip, and casually tore off her writing paper and handed it to her.
Zhao Jun.
"Oh my god!" Zhao Jun took a look and couldn't help but look at Wang Meilan and said: "Why buy so many things?"
"Ah!" Wang Meilan stretched out her hand to touch the paper and said, "Son, just buy what mom wrote, no more, no less."
"Ah, okay." Zhao Jun glanced at the paper again and suddenly felt a little overwhelmed. Men of his generation are not good at shopping. Whenever he buys something, he feels scared.
Therefore, Zhao Jun smiled bitterly at Wang Meilan and said, "Mom, how about you and I go there."
"I can't go." Wang Meilan took a step back, held her hands in front of her, and said, "There are so many things going on at home, how can I leave?"
"Oops!" Zhao Jun sighed softly and said, "Okay then!"
As soon as Zhao Jun finished speaking, there was the sound of opening the door in the east room. The three of them were startled and stretched their necks to look towards the outer room.
"Brother! Brother!" Zhao Hong ran all the way to the west room. The little girl got up and came over without even wearing her own clothes or suspenders on her cotton trousers.
"What are you doing?" Wang Meilan, who was closest to the door, picked up Zhao Hong, put it on the kang, pulled up the pockets in front of the cotton trousers and the suspenders on the waistband, and said, "What are you doing up so early?
?”
Zhao Hong ignored Wang Meilan, but stretched out her little hand to Zhao Jun and shouted: "Brother..."
"Oh!" Zhao Jun stretched out his hand, held the small hand with his big hand, and asked his sister: "Sister, what do you want to do?"
"Brother!" Zhao Hong looked at Zhao Jun and said, "Don't forget to buy me a ribbon to smash!"
"Ah...hehe." Zhao Jun was stunned for a moment, then he laughed and said, "Don't worry, I won't forget it."
"This child!" Wang Meilan stopped wearing Zhao Hong's sling and asked, "Are you going to sleep yet?"
"I won't sleep anymore!" Zhao Hong pointed to the door and said, "My little sister is up too."
"Oh my God!" Wang Meilan pushed Zhao Hong into Zhao Youcai's arms and said, "Tie the strap on for her."
With that said, Wang Meilan hurriedly walked to the east room.
Zhao Youcai clumsily tied Zhao Hong's suspender belt and said, "The second daughter is the only one who ties up her hair. How can we not sleep?"
"Dad, that one looks great!" Zhao Hong gestured to Zhao Youcai and said, "I'll use it to tie my little sister's hair."
"Ah!" Hearing this, Zhao Youcai turned to Zhao Jun and said, "Did you hear that? I have to buy it back today!"
Zhao Jun: "..."
Seeing Zhao Jun rolling his eyes at him, Zhao Youcai, who had recently made a fortune, hesitated for a moment before asking, "How much does that thing cost?"
"That's not expensive." Zhao Jun said, "A roll is only eighty cents."
Zhao Jun didn't know how much that thing cost, but he thought it wouldn't be too expensive.
"Ah..." Zhao Youcai leaned to the side, reached for money from his trouser pocket, took out a two-yuan note and threw it to Zhao Jun, and said grandly: "Buy two papers and give them to these girls.
"
As soon as Zhao Youcai finished speaking, he saw Zhao Jun take the money and put it in his pocket.
Zhao Youcai's face collapsed, and he turned around and smiled at Zhao Hong: "It's okay, second daughter, if dad is rich, dad will buy it for you."
"Dad, you are so kind!" Zhao Hong put her arms around Zhao Youcai's neck, and Zhao Youcai was so happy that he couldn't help but smile and said: "She is my second daughter, she is just like her father."
Zhao Youcai didn't say anything nice, but Zhao Jun found it quite interesting.
The next second, Zhao Hong let go of Zhao Youcai's neck and said, "Dad, you said last time that you made money, so you bought dolls for me and my little sister."
