The whole mountain is my hunting ground.

Chapter 1642: Village Chief Meilan Illiterate Zhao Jun

Chapter 1642: Village Chief Meilan Illiterate Zhao Jun

Previously, Zhao Youcai used the alias Zhao Erdong and went to Lingnan to hunt tigers. After he succeeded, he revealed that his original name was Zhao Youcai.

But when dealing with people, the first meeting and the first impression are crucial.

This resulted in the fact that the few people who had more contact with Zhao Youcai at the time only remembered him as Zhao Erdong, and unless they recalled carefully they would not have remembered that he had another name.

Although the Shao family had an agreement with Zhao Jun, driving the tiger away was risky, and the Shao family was afraid that Zhao Jun would fail. So when Shao Zhiqiang heard that a strong man had appeared in Wudaogou before the New Year, he specifically asked someone to find out.

At that time, we found out that this person was from Yong'an Forest District in Lingxi, and his name was Zhao Erdong.

The Shao family is a ginseng gang. They have to wait until July or August when the ginseng produces red hammers before they can offer sacrifices to the mountain, enter the mountain, and release the ginseng.

It was still early, so the Shao family thought that they would wait until Fu Hujiang finished his honeymoon and let him take action first. If Fu Hujiang failed, they would then find a way to find Zhao Erdong.

Unexpectedly, another hero who killed the tiger in Wudaogou appeared in front of him, and this man was Zhao Jun's father. Shao Tianpeng was surprised for a moment, and Zhao Erdong's name came out of his mouth.

Zhao Youcai was really drunk at this time. Zhao Jun and Ma Ling drank water diluted with alcohol, but Zhao Youcai would not do that.

On this happy day, Zhao Youcai drank heartily with his relatives, friends, and co-workers. He basically said nothing without thinking.

Seeing Zhao Youcai puffing out his chest, people who knew him well knew that he was going to admit it. This frightened Zhao Jun and Wang Meilan, who hurried forward to support Zhao Youcai.

Zhao Youcai was attacked from all sides, and the words on his lips were gone. When he wanted to speak again, his brain was a little confused and he couldn't remember what he was going to say.

"Master Shao! Don't worry!" Zhao Jun was afraid that Zhao Youcai would say something wrong, so he quickly said to Shao Tianpeng: "Let me see, I'll go there in June."

"Oh, that's great." Shao Tianpeng smiled and said, "Then we'll be waiting for you!"

Zhao Jun chuckled, said a few polite words to Shao Tianpeng and Shao Zhiqiang, then watched the three of them get into the car and waved goodbye.

Shao Jun started the car and slowly drove towards the outside of Yong'antun.

"Tianpeng." At this time, Shao Yunjin, who was sitting in the co-pilot seat, turned around and asked his son, "Has everything been arranged in the county?"

"It's all arranged, Dad." Shao Tianpeng said, "Sun Qishan's pharmacy will close at five o'clock. Let's go now and go directly to his house."

Shao Yunjin nodded and said nothing. Shao Zhiqiang asked Shao Tianpeng, "Dad, why did we go to Old Pang's house?"

"Don't be in a hurry!" Shao Tianpeng raised his hand and said, "Let's meet Sun Qishan first and see what the Lingxi market has been like in recent years. We'll talk about it later."

Shao Zhiqiang heard this and sighed, "Oh my! What's going on? I guess we can't find our great fairy boy anymore. It's been so many years, who can keep him in our hands forever?"

After hearing what Shao Zhiqiang said, Shao Yunjin and Shao Tianpeng's faces darkened.

……

The four members of the Shao family were the last group of guests to leave on the Third Tour. After seeing them off, Zhao Jun asked Ma Ling to follow Zhao Chun into the house to rest, while he took the Shi Lin cigarette and went to the back shed with Wang Meilan to thank the chefs.

In the Zhao family's big shed, helpers and kitchen assistants were wiping tables, arranging benches, stacking cigarettes, and scattering melon seeds.

During the day, their pockets were full of money. Zhao Jun and Wang Meilan pretended not to notice.

The mother and daughter thanked these people, then walked through the wooden door on the west side and entered the Li family's shed.

At this time, Han Dachun and twelve other cooks, as well as Xing San were all here.

Xing San was really good today. Zhao Jun asked Wang Qiang to stop Xing San and not let him meet the Shao family. Xing San stayed in this shed obediently.

It's not that Xing San is afraid. First, today is Zhao Jun's big day, and he doesn't want to cause trouble for Zhao Jun. Second, Xing San is very satisfied with his current life. If he is asked to go back to the mountains to be a mountain dog, Xing San himself won't do it!

So the old man gritted his teeth and endured it. He had a meal in this room with the cooks, and the food was the same as in the shed.

Zhao Jun came in and winked at Xing San, and Xing San knew that the Shao family had left. He stood up and took the Shilin cigarette handed to him by Zhao Jun, then pinched the cigarette and went out for some fresh air.

"Uncle Dachun, you smoke." Zhao Jun took Zhao Youcai's Shilin cigarettes and distributed them to Han Dachun and others.

Wang Meilan took the thermos and poured water into the teacup for Han Dachun and the others. Seeing Han Dachun pick up a towel and wipe the sweat off his forehead, Wang Meilan hurriedly served him tea and asked with a smile, "Are you tired today, Dachun?"

This short day has exhausted the cooks. So far, they have finished preparing three banquets.

Each of these three banquets has 40 tables, and each table has 20 dishes. Not to mention now, even in 20 or 30 years, the big hotels in the city will not be so busy, right?

"Haha..." Han Dachun took the teacup and said with a laugh, "Why are you so tired of working for my nephew?"

Although they said they were not tired, all the cooks looked exhausted.

Wang Meilan saw it all. She just smiled at Han Dachun's words, then turned to look at Zhao Jun who was passing cigarettes to Zhao Youcai's disciples, and said, "Son, let's get some good wine and food one day, and invite your uncles and brothers to have a good meal."

"What else is there to eat?" Wang Meilan finished speaking, and Han Daming laughed and said, "No dish is better than the one we have today."

"Of course not!" A disciple of Zhao Youcai next to him said, "A banquet with 20 dishes, all of which are hard and crunchy. Who has ever eaten it? I dare not even think about it!"

Amid the laughter of the crowd, Li Baoyu pushed open the wooden door, rushed in and shouted, "Brother, Auntie, hurry up, there are guests!"

"Are there people coming from Xishan Village?" Wang Meilan asked. As soon as she finished speaking, Zhao Jun asked, "Are they Uncle Tao and his men coming?"

"Yes, yes!" Li Baoyu nodded repeatedly, and then he heard Zhao Jun and Wang Meilan ask in unison: "What is it? Who is here?"

"They're all here!" Li Baoyu clapped his hands on his thighs, then swung his arms to the south and said, "They're all at the door!"

"Let's go, Mom!" Zhao Jun hurried back upon hearing that, stuffed the remaining cigarette into Wang Meilan's hand, then held Wang Meilan's arm and walked out.

At this time, five people from Yushu Township, a group from Yongxing Brigade, and the entire Xishan Village had entered the Zhao family compound one after another.

Looking at the magnificent courtyard and large house, a hint of surprise flashed in Zhang Shaowen's eyes, but it did not show on his face.

Just then, they met Zhao Guofeng coming out of the toilet.

Seeing Zhang Shaowen, Zhao Guofeng hurried forward to greet him. Because of Zhao Jun, Zhao Guofeng also knew Tao Dabao and Li Wubo, but he had never seen Yu Xuewen.

After Zhao Guofeng had greeted everyone, Zhang Shaowen said, "I ran into some folks from Xishan Village when I went out today. They said they were coming here for a wedding. I thought since we were in time, I might as well come over."

Zhang Shaowen's remarks were vague and nonchalant, and he did not even mention that he was going to find Wang Meilan to question her.

In this case, one has to consider Yu Xuewen and Tao Dabao, the second is Zhou Chunming, and the third is Xiao Zhaopao's face.

"Oh!" Zhao Guofeng hurriedly shook hands with Zhang Shaowen and said, "Village head, it's great that you can come. Let me welcome you and thank you for coming on behalf of Youcai and the Zhao family."

"What are you thanking me for?" Zhang Shaowen said with a smile, "Xiao Zhaopao's mother is the head of Xishan Village. We can see her in future meetings. I came here... to show my support."

"That's great, that's great." Zhao Guofeng smiled and Zhang Shaowen asked again: "Guofeng, you are the witness today, right?"

"Hmm?" Zhao Guofeng was startled, and then he heard Zhang Shaowen say, "Since I caught up with him today, I'll be his witness."

"Well... this..." Zhao Guofeng hesitated for a moment, secretly blaming Zhang Shaowen for being used to being a leader and making decisions in a hurry.

If he were to refuse him at this time, he would be embarrassing Zhang Shaowen in front of Yu Xuewen, Tao Dabao, and the entire village of Xishantun.

Zhao Guofeng sighed in his heart, thinking that he would go to Zhou Chunming to discuss it later, and he believed that Zhou Chunming would give him face.

At this time, Zhang Shaowen asked Zhao Guofeng again, "The officiant is Secretary Zhou from the forest farm, right?"

"No!" Zhao Guofeng quickly denied, thinking, could this old guy still want to be the master of ceremonies? Zhou Chunming might give you face, but Chu Anmin might not spoil you.

The director of the Shanhe Forestry Bureau is at the same level as the county magistrate, that is, a director, which is higher in rank than Zhang Shaowen.

"No?" Zhang Shaowen was startled when he heard that Zhou Chunming was not the master of ceremonies. He asked, "Then who is it?"

"It's Director Chu." Zhao Guofeng said so. Zhang Shaowen blinked his eyes and asked, "Is it Director Chu from the Forestry Bureau?"

Zhao Guofeng nodded, and then Tao Dabao asked, "Is Lao Chu here?"

He and Chu Anmin are comrades-in-arms. As long as they have that friendship, it doesn’t matter what their rank is.

"They're chatting in the house..." Zhao Guofeng turned around and pointed towards the house, just in time to see Li Baoyu leading Zhao Jun and Wang Meilan over.

When Zhao Jun saw that all his friends in Yongxing had come, including the two old men Tao Fulin and Li Wencai, he took a few quick steps forward to say hello.

But at this moment, Wu Dalin was the first to shout: "Captain!"

"Tuen Chief!"

"Tuen Chief!"

……

For a moment, voices calling for the village chief were heard one after another. Zhang Shaowen, Yu Xuewen, and Tao Dabao turned around in surprise and looked at the people from Xishan Village who were rushing towards Wang Meilan.

From the intimacy in their voices when they called her “Village Chief,” one could tell Wang Meilan’s status in Xishan Village.

Tao Dabao looked at Zhao Jun in surprise and asked, "Zhao Jun, when did your mother become the village chief?"

Years ago, Tao Dabao came here to chase Xiong Guizi and stayed at Zhao's house for two days. At that time, Wang Meilan was still a housewife. It's only been a few days, and he has become a cadre.

Zhao Jun smiled and said, "It's only been a few days."

As Zhao Jun spoke, he looked at Zhang Shaowen. He knew this man, but he knew him in his previous life, and this was the first time they met in this life.

At this time, Zhang Shaowen was looking at Wang Meilan not far away. Seeing Wang Meilan raising her hand and waving at the people from Xishantun, Zhang Shaowen couldn't help but frowned slightly.

"Let's all go to the backyard!" Wang Meilan said loudly to the people of Xishan Village, "We'll set up the tent that day and set up the table. We'll have cigarettes, melon seeds, peanuts, and candy. Let the children eat some first, and then we'll prepare to have a feast!"

After hearing what Wang Meilan said, many people in Xishantun walked towards the backyard.

"Congratulations, village chief!" Wu Dalin, along with his wife and children, congratulated Wang Meilan and said, "I hope you'll have a grandson after the next Chinese New Year!"

"Haha..." Wang Meilan laughed, reached into her pocket, took out half a pack of Shilin cigarettes and stuffed it into Wu Dalin's hand.

At this moment, Wang Meilan didn't say anything, but it seemed as if the word "reward" was floating over the Zhao family compound!

Upon seeing this, the people of Xishantun followed Wu Dalin's example and spoke auspicious words to Wang Meilan.

"Captain, I wish you can have a grandson soon!"

"Captain, I wish you a grandson!"

"Captain, hold your grandson!"

……

The people of Xishantun were generally uneducated, and many of the auspicious words they said were inappropriate. Some of the words that children imitated were not even complete sentences.

But Wang Meilan knew that their words did not express their meaning clearly, so even if there were inappropriate words, Wang Meilan was happy to hear them.

Wang Meilan is a very straightforward person, with the same personality as her father. In the early days of Shibadaogang, Mr. Wang was well-known for his charity.

In the local dialect, this is called "shousong", which means to be willing to give things to others. Therefore, Mr. Wang got the nickname "Wang Dabazhang".

"Baoyu!" Wang Meilan waved her hand at Li Baoyu and said, "Go, take out all the Yingchun tobacco we ordered, and give a pack to each of my relatives!"

Previously, Zhao Jun and Wang Meilan went to the store to order cigarettes from Wang Fu, and they ordered Yingchun. Later, they changed to Shilin, but Wang Fu bought Yingchun back.

At that time, Wang Fu said, "Keep it and sell it slowly." But Wang Meilan didn't want to owe him a favor, and she didn't need the money, so she paid for the cigarettes.

At this time, wouldn’t this cigarette come in handy?

Hearing that the village chief had a reward, the people of Xishan Village became even more excited. They walked to the backyard while saying all kinds of auspicious words.

Seeing that most of the people in Xishantun had left, Zhang Shaowen took two steps towards Wang Meilan and asked, "Who is Wang Changfu to you?"

"That's my father." Wang Meilan answered Zhang Shaowen's question first, then looked at Zhang Shaowen and said, "I don't think I've seen you before. Who are you..."

If the person is from a nearby village or town, basically everyone knows him or her. Even if you don't know his or her name and have never spoken to him or her, when you meet him or her on the street, you can tell at a glance that he or she is from the neighborhood.

When Wang Meilan saw Zhang Shaowen, she realized that he was a stranger. She had never seen this person before. So how did he recognize her?

"That year when I went out to serve in the army, your father gave me ten steamed buns made of 200 grams of flour." Zhang Shaowen said, "I said I would return it to him later, but he didn't say anything and just waved his hand like you did just now."

"Huh?" Zhao Jun and Wang Meilan were both stunned. Wang Meilan looked at her own hands and thought: He recognized me in just a moment?

At this time, Zou Yunchuan stepped forward and said to Wang Meilan, "This is Zhang Lizheng from our township."

"Oh!" Wang Meilan looked at Zhang Shaowen in surprise, then imitated the scene on TV, nodded to Zhang Shaowen and said, "I've heard a lot about you, I've heard a lot about you."

Zhang Shaowen nodded in response, and then added: "If I didn't have those ten steamed buns that year, I would have starved to death."

"Not really." Wang Meilan would remember the kindness others have shown her, but she would choose to downplay the kindness she has shown others and never mention it.

What's more, Zhang Shaowen was referring to Wang Daslap at the moment. Wang Meilan just smiled and said, "You are a blessed person. Even if you don't have those ten steamed buns, it's guaranteed to be fine."

"Haha..." Hearing Wang Meilan's words, Zhang Shaowen laughed and clasped his fists towards Wang Meilan, saying, "Congratulations, Village Chief Wang. I came here uninvited and wanted to have a share of the wedding wine. I wonder if it's convenient for you?"

"Convenient! We are so honored!" Wang Meilan said with a smile, then raised her hand and stretched it towards the front of the house, saying, "Let's go in first, drink some water and rest for a while."

Everyone followed Zhao Jun and Wang Meilan into the house. The Zhao family had a large living room where Chu Anmin, Zhou Chunming and others were chatting.

When they saw Tao Dabao coming, Chu Anmin and Zhao Weipeng were very happy, especially when they saw Tao Dabao's family. Chu Anmin and Zhao Weipeng hurried forward to meet Tao Fulin and hugged Tao Dabao's youngest son.

At the same time, Zhou Chunming had already exchanged pleasantries with Zhang Shaowen. Zhou Chunming agreed without hesitation to Zhang Shaowen's idea of ​​replacing him as the witness.

After everyone sat down, Zhang Shaowen looked at Zhao Jun and said with a smile, "I've always wanted to see you, and today I finally get to see you."

Zhao Jun responded with a smile. Zhou Chunming beside him asked Zhang Shaowen, "The village is not far from here. You have also been to this village. Have you not seen Zhao Jun?"

"No..." Zhang Shaowen just opened his mouth, but suddenly thought of something and changed his words: "I have seen him once."

"Huh?" Zhao Jun was stunned, and then he saw Zhang Shaowen smiled and added: "I've seen it on TV."

After saying this, Zhang Shaowen raised his hand and pointed at Zhao Jun, and said to Chu Anmin, Zhou Chunming, Liu Renshan and others: "Our Yushu Township can produce such an outstanding young man. As the head of the village, I am very proud!"

As soon as Zhang Shaowen said this, Chu Anmin's face suddenly darkened and he said, "That's right, our children in the forest area are all good."

At this time, Zhang Shaowen didn't seem to feel Chu Anmin's dissatisfaction. He turned around and said to Zhao Jun: "I went out to attend a meeting before the New Year. When those county cadres mentioned you, they all gave you a thumbs up!"

Seeing Zhang Shaowen's expression, Zou Yunchuan looked at Clerk Liu, then at Clerk Wang, and the three of them looked at each other.

The three of them thought that you were such a bad boy when you came here, but now you have changed your face. If we had known you were like this, we would not have come with you. Now that you are here, you have to give me a gift!

But Zhang Jingye felt a little jealous. His father was a very serious man and only smiled at his two grandsons at home. He had never been praised like this by his father since he was a child.

Chu Anmin was also unhappy. Chu Anmin glanced at Zhang Shaowen and thought, "You haven't even met Zhao Jun yet, why are you trying to get close to him? What's the point of taking advantage of him?"

No matter what others think, Zhao Jun felt a little embarrassed. He smiled shyly at Zhang Shaowen and said, "You flatter me too much. It's nothing."

"Hey? That's not true!" Zhang Shaowen moved his butt slightly and moved closer to Zhao Jun. He raised his hand and patted Zhao Jun on the shoulder and said, "You have brought honor to our entire Yushu Township this time. In the past, many people in the county only knew that there was a place like us, but didn't know where it was or what our situation was.

Now, when people mention Fu Hujiang, the Zhao army on TV, or Yongan Darenyi, and ask where that person is from, they basically know that you are from our village. "

Hearing Zhang Shaowen's words, Zhao Jun couldn't help but smile bitterly. What is Yong'an's great benevolence and righteousness? Why doesn't it sound like a good thing?

At this time, Zhang Shaowen patted Zhao Jun again, still not satisfied, and said: "What do you call this? 'Mountains are not high, but they are famous for the immortals. Water...'"

When Zhang Shaowen was just talking, he saw Zhao Jun's face change and said, "Li Zheng, I don't know how to perform shamanism or anything like that!"

Zhou Chunming told Zhao Jun that he would recruit him into the organization this year. Therefore, Zhao Jun dared not get involved with those things.

"What? What did you say?" But Zhang Shaowen was confused by Zhao Jun's words. Not only Zhang Shaowen, but also the people around him looked at Zhao Jun in surprise.

When asked by Zhang Shaowen, Zhao Jun squinted his eyes and said, "Village head, didn't you say it? It doesn't matter if the mountain is high or not, as long as there is an old immortal."

Zhang Shaowen: “…”

Chu Anmin: “…”

Zhou Chunming and others: "..."
