Chapter 1618: Refusal to Keep Proton
Wang Meilan said goodbye to her sixth aunt happily, and after hanging up the phone, she walked out of her new house happily. She took out the key from her pocket, locked the door, walked on the red brick path, and looked at her spacious courtyard, feeling very comfortable.
When Wang Meilan walked out of the compound, she saw her son and Gu Yang whispering to each other not far away.
Seeing Wang Meilan coming out, Zhao Jun said a few simple words to Gu Yang, then reached out and patted Gu Yang on the shoulder, and the two separated.
"Mom, you've talked enough." Zhao Jun came over and teased Wang Meilan, saying, "Why don't you talk for a while?"
Wang Meilan glared at Zhao Jun, then looked at Gu Yang who was leaving and asked, "What happened to the kid from the old Gu family?"
"Oh my god, don't mention it." Zhao Jun said, "He worked so hard to save that money, but his mother and his eldest brother spent it all."
"Alas!" Wang Meilan sighed heavily upon hearing this and said, "They are all my own children, how could this happen?"
While Wang Meilan was speaking, she had already locked the gate.
On the way back, Zhao Jun said to Wang Meilan, "Mom, I promised Gu Yang that I will give him the money to marry a wife and build a house, and he will pay me back slowly after that."
"Okay, son, that child is not easy, he is very hardworking." Hearing what Zhao Jun said, Wang Meilan shook her head slightly and said, "It's just that he needs to find a strong wife, don't talk nonsense."
"It should be fine." Zhao Jun said, "Since we have separated, we can just live our own lives."
The mother and daughter were talking as they walked home. When they were almost home, one of them came back from the west, while another person came from the east.
When Zhao Jun saw this, he hurried over.
"Hey, brother." Zhao Jun greeted Ma Sheng.
Seeing Zhao Jun, Ma Sheng smiled and said, "I came just in time."
After saying this to Zhao Jun, Ma Sheng looked at Wang Meilan, nodded, greeted her, and said, "Aunt, are you taking a walk?"
"Yeah." Wang Meilan smiled and responded. Seeing Ma Sheng carrying canned food and butter paper, Wang Meilan asked hurriedly, "Where are you going?"
"That's right." Ma Sheng said with a smile, "I heard that your uncle was scratched by a black bear when he went up the mountain, so my father asked me to come and take a look."
"Tsk!" Wang Meilan frowned upon hearing this. She complained, "You're welcome, kid. What are you buying? What are you spending the money on?"
"Of course, of course." Ma Sheng said with a smile: "Then I can't come to see my uncle empty-handed."
"What are you afraid of?" Wang Meilan said, "They are not outsiders."
The three of them entered the Zhao family's yard while talking. Because there were relatively strangers coming, the barking of dogs in the yard was different from that of the returning family members.
The barking of the dog attracted the attention of the people in the house. At this time, not only Zhao Weipeng, Zhao Jinhui and Xing San were there, but also the three members of the Li family came from next door.
They gathered in the east room, watching TV and keeping Zhao Youcai company.
"Brother!" Li Dayong glanced out the window and his expression changed immediately. He hurriedly called Zhao Youcai, "Ma Sheng is here."
"What?" Zhao Youcai, who was wearing a special cloth shirt and lying on the kang watching TV, hurriedly supported himself on the kang and tried to get up when he heard the words.
Although being scratched by the black bear was an accident, the day of the two families' wedding was approaching, and Zhao Youcai didn't want people to think that he was a bad father, especially not his in-laws.
Therefore, Zhao Youcai decided to go on despite his injury.
In that case, I'd better pretend thoroughly and not let my in-laws know that I'm injured so badly.
In a hurry, Zhao Youcai forgot to take care of the wound on his back, and for a moment, Zhao Youcai grimaced in pain.
Zhao Weipeng and Zhao Jinhui quickly took action, and the father and son helped Zhao Youcai up from the left and right.
At this time, Zhao Youcai was gritting his teeth because of the wound on his back. He was unable to speak and pointed at the thin cotton jacket thrown at the end of the kang.
Seeing this, Xing San hurriedly handed him the cotton jacket. Knowing that Zhao Youcai was inconvenient, Li Dayong hurriedly took the cotton jacket and put it on Zhao Youcai in a hurry.
At this moment, the sound of a door opening was heard from the outer room.
Accompanied by Zhao Jun and Wang Meilan, Ma Sheng entered the Zhao family's house carrying two canned peaches and two butter paper packages.
After entering the door, Ma Sheng asked, "Which room is my uncle in?"
"Is the little ball here?" Zhao Youcai shouted as if nothing had happened.
He called Ma Sheng by his nickname, not his nickname. Ma Sheng was a kid. Although his family was poor, he absorbed things very well. Every day, they had big pancakes with cabbage and potatoes, but he ate so much that he became fat like a ball, and he couldn't see his toes when he lowered his head.
"Hey, uncle." Ma Sheng responded before he saw Zhao Youcai.
When Ma Sheng entered the east room, he saw Zhao Youcai wearing a cotton jacket and sitting cross-legged on the kang. He didn't look like anything was wrong.
Ma Sheng felt a little relieved and asked with a smile: "Uncle, aren't you okay?"
"It's nothing." Zhao Youcai said with a smile: "It's just a scratch, a rub, a bloody mess, these people in my family feel sorry for me, and it's all bloody after that."
After hearing what Zhao Youcai said, no matter what everyone thought in their hearts, they all put on a faint smile on their faces, indicating that they agreed with what Zhao Youcai said.
"Ah..." Ma Sheng squinted his eyes. He felt something was wrong because it was Han Shang who spread the news that Zhao Youcai was injured and lying on the kang.
Of course, Han Shang was not Li Ruhai, so he would not deliberately spread the message. It was just that when he was leaving Zhao's house and walking home that day, he ran into a villager who asked him where he had been, so Han Shang said that he had gone to bandage Zhao Youcai's wound.
The Zhao family was one of the top families in the entire Yongan Forest District. When the villagers heard that Zhao Youcai was injured, they were definitely curious, especially since the wedding was getting closer.
The Ma family would definitely not gloat over other people's misfortune, nor would they want to watch the fun. After they received the news, they were quite anxious.
At this time, Ma Sheng took the opportunity to look at Zhao Youcai. Seeing that Zhao Youcai seemed to be fine except for his bad face, he felt relieved.
"Uncle, I didn't bring you anything." Ma Sheng smiled and put the things he brought on the edge of the kang. Zhao Youcai frowned and complained, "This kid, they are your own family, why are you spending this money?"
"Hehe..." Ma Sheng smiled faintly and said, "My dad and mom asked me to come and see you. My eldest aunt and my third aunt came yesterday, and my eldest uncle and my third uncle came today. My dad and mom can't come out, so they asked me to come and see you."
"Oh." Zhao Youcai said gratefully, "This makes my in-laws and mother-in-law worry about it."
"Not really." Wang Meilan took over the conversation and then smiled at Ma Sheng, "Go and tell my in-laws and mother-in-law that your uncle is fine and don't worry about him."
"Hey, hey." Ma Sheng responded with a smile, sat down and smoked a cigarette, then stood up and said goodbye and left.
If he wants to leave, the Zhao family must see him off. Zhao Youcai said a few words of farewell without getting off the kang. Wang Meilan, Li Baoyu and others sent Ma Sheng to the outer room, and then Zhao Jun accompanied Ma Sheng out.
After coming out of the house, Zhao Jun escorted Ma Sheng out of the yard. At this time, Ma Sheng stopped and Zhao Jun also stopped.
Next, it would be Ma Sheng's turn to let Zhao Jun go back, and then Zhao Jun would just say a few polite words and watch Ma Sheng leave.
But at this time, Ma Sheng turned around and said to Zhao Jun: "Brother, I want to tell you something."
"Hmm?" Zhao Jun was startled, then quickly said, "Brother, tell me what's going on."
Ma Sheng raised his hand and pointed to the Jiefang car parked next to him, and said to Zhao Jun: "I want to borrow this car tomorrow. I'm going down the mountain to buy some vegetables."
"Brother, this car belongs to Xiaochen. I will talk to him later. It should be fine." This car of the Xie family almost became that of the Zhao family. It was parked in front of the Zhao family's door every day.
If the Ma family wanted to use the car, Xie Chen would not disagree. But Xie Chen was the owner of the car after all, and Zhao Jun could not lend the car without asking.
"As I should." Ma Sheng smiled, and then he heard Zhao Jun say, "It just so happens that my humble servant is here, I'll ask him."
When Ma Sheng heard this, he turned around and saw Zhang Yuanmin and Jie Chen coming together.
Again, because of the Zhao army, even though Xie Chen was not familiar with Ma Sheng, he followed Zhang Yuanmin in greeting Ma Sheng.
"Xiao Chen, you've come at the right time." At this time, Zhao Jun smiled and said to Jie Chen, "My elder brother is going down the mountain to buy vegetables tomorrow, and he wants to use your car to run a trip. Do you think it's okay?"
"Okay, why not?" Xie Chen agreed without hesitation, then looked at Ma Sheng and said, "Brother Ma, what time do you think we should leave tomorrow? I'll pick you up at my house."
The honest Jie Chen is not only willing to lend the car, but also willing to lend himself.
"Brother, I won't bother you." Hearing this, Ma Sheng hurriedly said, "It's good enough for you to lend me the car. Sun Laosan from my East Courtyard is in the fleet. He can go with me tomorrow."
"Ah, that's fine." Xie Chen said, looking at Zhao Jun. Zhao Jun said, "Xiao Chen, I'll drive the car back to Big Brother, and I'll leave the car at his house after that."
The Zhao family had no use for the car today, so Xie Chen certainly had no objection.
In this way, Zhao Jun drove Ma Sheng back home.
They arrived at Ma Sheng's house and parked the car outside the yard. Ma Sheng invited Zhao Jun into the house, but Zhao Jun declined and walked back.
Whenever they met villagers along the way, they would mention Zhao Jun's marriage when they greeted each other.
Today is March 1988, 3, and there are only five days left until the Zhao family's wedding. Zhao Jun can't help but feel a little excited about the good news.
Although he married the same person, Zhao Jun believed that this life would definitely be different from his previous life.
The Zhao family has almost prepared everything. They just need to go down the mountain to buy the vegetables the day before the banquet.
A group of people got together today and ate and drank as usual.
In the afternoon, Zhao Weipeng followed Zhao Jun to the new house and made a phone call.
After returning, Zhao Weipeng said to Wang Meilan, "Sister-in-law, I just confirmed again that the fish and prawns are fine. We will arrive a day earlier."
"That's great, brother." Wang Meilan sincerely thanked Zhao Weipeng and said, "This is a great expense for you."
Wang Meilan felt a little embarrassed when she talked about this. Later, another fifty tables were added, and Zhao Weipeng had to provide another fifty tables of prawns and yellow croaker.
"What are you spending money on?" Zhao Weipeng smiled and waved his fat hand, saying, "It's for my nephew's wedding. I'll also pay for another 100 tables."
Although Zhao Weipeng had not spent much time with Zhao Jun and the others, they were already familiar with each other out of sincerity.
Zhao Weipeng sat down on the edge of the kang as he was talking. He took the Shilin cigarettes handed to him by Zhao Youcai, and then he heard Li Dazhi ask him, "Brother Peng, once the forest farm is back to work, the winter transportation will be over, and we can ship the goods up."
"Yeah." Zhao Weipeng used the match that Lin Xiangshun had struck to light his cigarette. After taking a puff, he smiled and said, "I'm just drinking Zhao Jun's wedding wine. After I finish drinking, I'll go back and take care of this matter."
After hearing what Zhao Weipeng said, Wang Meilan said, "Brother, before you leave, I'll give you the money."
Zhao Weipeng went there to book a carriage.
After hearing what Wang Meilan said, Zhao Weipeng said, "Sister-in-law, there's no need to worry about the money. Just give it to me when I come back."
"I'd better give it to you, otherwise you will have to put in the money." Wang Meilan said, "Your business partner has the money on hold, so I'll give it to you, saving you the trouble."
It would be great if the Zhao Family Chamber of Commerce could give the money directly. But Zhao Weipeng was afraid that these people would worry that he would run away with the money, so he raised his finger and pointed at Zhao Jinhui and said, "Okay, sister-in-law, I'll leave him to you before I leave."
"Hmm?" Before Wang Meilan could react, she heard Li Dayong say to Zhao Weipeng with a smile, "Are you leaving a hostage for us?"
"No, it's fine for him to come home with me." Zhao Weipeng laughed and said, "Let him stay here and play with Baoyu and the others."
"No need, brother." Wang Meilan understood what Zhao Weipeng meant and said with a smile, "Since we are all doing business together, we trust you. When you leave, just take the money."
"Okay, sister-in-law." Zhao Weipeng took another puff of his cigarette and said, "I'll go. I'll be back in less than half a month. By then the train will be here, and we'll get started."
Hearing what Zhao Weipeng said, everyone felt a little excited.
Especially a few women like Wang Meilan and Jin Xiaomei, who usually don’t work, but now that they have a career, they want to follow Wang Meilan to show their talents.
Among them, the most excited one was Xie Sun. This little old lady was very energetic and eager to get started. She said to Wang Meilan, "Sister, what did we see on TV the other day? What shoes and what career did we have?"
"What shoes?" Wang Meilan was startled. Li Tongyun smiled and continued, "Let's work together to start a business."
"Yes, yes, that's what I meant." Xie Sun looked at Li Tongyun with satisfaction. This girl was good in every way except that she was too capable, otherwise she would have to be married home as a daughter-in-law no matter what.
"Haha..." At this time, Li Ruhai laughed and said, "Look at my Aunt Sun, she seems to be old but young at heart..."
"What are you talking about, Ruhai?" Upon hearing this, Xie Chen immediately nudged Li Ruhai with his elbow and said, "I don't think you are saying anything good."
"This brat!" Jin Xiaomei pointed at Li Ruhai and said, "He has no respect for his parents!"
Li Ruhai covered the spot where Jie Chen had criticized him, and said with a smile: "The words don't express my meaning, the words don't express my meaning."
"Hey?" Xie Sun stopped the people who were attacking Li Ruhai and said, "I think what Ruhai said is right. Since I came to our village, I feel like I have become several dozen years younger."
Li Ruhai's words just now made everyone laugh, and when Xie Sun said this, the smiles on everyone's faces became even brighter.
"Oh my god!" Xie Chen reached out and grabbed Xie Sun's arm, saying, "Don't worry about your career yet. Wait until my brother Jun has finished everything. Then buy some things and go with my grandmother Jiang to see Liu Tiezui."
"What are you doing?" Xie Sun asked, then she realized what was happening and said hurriedly, "Oh, I know. Can I forget your important matter?"
Xie Chen curled his lips and glanced at Li Sun, then heard Wang Meilan say, "We should focus on our careers, and we can't delay the children's affairs."
As she spoke, Wang Meilan pointed at Li Baoyu and said, "We will get Baoyu next. His matter is the top priority!"
"That's right." Upon hearing this, Li Baoyu immediately stood up and said, "My aunt is right."
As soon as Li Baoyu finished speaking, Li Ruhai took over and said, "And my young lady."
As soon as Li Ruhai said this, the smiles on Li Dazhi and Lin Xue's faces disappeared instantly, and Li Tongyun glared at Li Ruhai.
