Chapter 1560: Zhao Hong Protects (Tricks) His Father
Since he made great contributions in selling leopard skins in Hebei, Li Ruhai's status among the people has risen sharply. When he sighed, everyone thought that he had some important opinions or views, and immediately cast their eyes on Li Ruhai.
Li Ruhai sighed and shook his head slowly: "When there are no heroes, the young ones become famous."
"Huh?" Eighty percent of the people in the room were stunned. Xie Chen, who had just finished praising his own achievements, subconsciously asked, "What are you talking about?"
As soon as Xie Chen finished speaking, Li Tongyun, who was exempted from work by Wang Meilan, smiled and said, "Brother Chen, he said you are a little bastard."
"I..." Xie Chen reached out to grab Li Ruhai, but he hid behind Zhao Jun in time.
"Ruhai, you're going too far." At this time, Zhang Yuanmin said unhappily, "You're talking as if your brother and I were given away for nothing."
Hearing Zhang Yuanmin's words, Li Baoyu nodded repeatedly.
"Brother Zhang, do you think you two are not doing this for free?" Li Ruhai shook his head and sneered, "I told you to go, but you wouldn't let me. You insisted on going, and you didn't even contribute in the end."
The Zhao family went out together today, but not to hunt, so Li Ruhai also wanted to go with them.
But when he asked Zhao Jun for permission, he was rejected by Zhao Jun. Before Zhao Jun could explain the reason, Li Baoyu said that it was because Li Ruhai was too talkative that he was not allowed to take him.
These words made Li Ruhai, who had already determined to mend his ways, very sad. Fortunately, Zhao Jun quickly explained that they did not take Li Ruhai with them because the jeep could not accommodate them.
Zhao Jun's explanation made Li Ruhai feel relieved, but at that time, Zhang Yuanmin teased Li Ruhai, saying that it would be useless for Li Ruhai to go.
Xie Chen was not good at speaking, so he didn't say anything. However, he glanced at Li Ruhai and chuckled twice.
These two "hehe" sounds made Li Ruhai more angry than the hurtful words from Li Baoyu and Zhang Yuanmin.
In front of Zhao Jun, Li Ruhai did not argue with them, but he kept all these "humiliations" in his heart.
"Brother Zhang, I thought you were one of the few smart people in our village." Li Ruhai looked at Zhang Yuanmin with a look of disappointment and said, "How come you are not as good as my brother?"
"I...this..." Zhang Yuanmin was speechless.
"Ruhai! Why are you talking to your brother Zhang?" At this time, Li Dayong spoke up to stop Li Ruhai's revenge.
Li Dayong spoke, and Li Ruhai immediately fell silent.
"Okay, let's not talk about your business anymore." Zhao Youcai turned the subject of treasure hunting over and said to Li Ruhai, "Ruhai, we'll all be out tomorrow. You don't have anything to do at home. Go out for a walk and ask around."
"What are you asking about, sir?" Li Ruhai asked. Zhao Youcai said, "It's spring hunting time now. Why don't you ask around and find out what's going on in the villages?"
Zhao Youcai counted on his fingers and said, "Yesterday, the cannon's eggs I knocked out weighed more than 580 kilograms. Today, the old sow weighed just over 200 kilograms. Last year, it weighed 120 to 130 kilograms. Add this together and it will weigh more than 1,000 kilograms."
It's early spring now, and the wild boars are getting thin.
"Ah..." Li Ruhai instantly understood what Zhao Youcai meant, and immediately asked, "Uncle, I'm just asking around to see if there's anyone who's done more than you?"
Li Ruhai, who had seen through Zhao Youcai's thoughts, gave his conclusion without waiting for Zhao Youcai to say anything: "Don't worry, sir, there are no more people who beat you."
As soon as Li Ruhai said this, Zhao Youcai's face instantly lit up with joy.
"Really, Ruhai?" Zhao Youcai looked at Li Ruhai with satisfaction and asked, "How did you know?"
Seeing his elder brother happy and his oldest son able to speak, Li Dayong also smiled.
But at this moment, Li Ruhai said, "Master, of course I know this. If my elder brother doesn't take action, you will be the leader of our forest area."
Zhao Youcai's face suddenly changed when he heard this, and Li Dayong's face also darkened. He scolded Li Ruhai, "Qiaoli, I told you to go out and find out, so you should go out and find out. Why are you talking so much?"
Li Ruhai's face changed when he was scolded. Just as he was about to hide behind Wang Meilan, he heard two dogs barking outside the house.
"Those kids are out of school." Wang Meilan waved her hands at Li Dayong and said, "Dayong, please stop scolding the kids."
As soon as Wang Meilan finished speaking, she heard the sound of the door opening in the outer room, and then saw Xiao Lingling running in with her cotton jacket open, her hat tilted on her head, and her schoolbag slung over one hand.
The child wanted to speak as soon as he entered the room, but because he ran so fast, he was out of breath and bent over, gasping for breath.
Seeing that the child had just run back, everyone thought that the child had encountered some trouble on his way to school.
Xing San and Li Tongyun immediately got ready to go.
Not only did the people in the room change their expressions, but Jin Xiaomei and others who were cleaning up the mess outside also hurried into the room.
"What's the matter, Lingling?" Wang Meilan asked, and then she heard Lingling say, "Grandma, something terrible has happened!"
Such a good child was led astray by these adults.
"Lingling, what's going on?" Jin Xiaomei came in from the back and asked, "Where are Xiaoqiao and the others?"
"Grandma Li, they are behind us." Xiao Lingdang took two deep breaths and pointed out the window, "Teacher Song is here!"
"Teacher Song?" Wang Meilan frowned. She felt that this scene was somewhat familiar. She immediately realized that the Teacher Song that Xiao Lingdang was talking about was Song Lixia, the head teacher of Zhao Hong and Li Xiaoqiao.
"This damn bastard!" Wang Meilan cursed, then stood up and walked out.
Wang Meilan was not scolding Xiao Lingdang. The ones who came were Zhao Hong and Li Xiaoqiao, the class teachers. What did it have to do with Xiao Lingdang?
As for Li Xiaoqiao, this girl is just like her father and brother, they are the type who only do things that cause trouble and will not take the initiative to cause trouble.
Therefore, the only one who could attract the teacher's home visit was Wang Meilan's precious second daughter.
What Wang Meilan can figure out, everyone can naturally understand.
Seeing Wang Meilan walking out, Li Dayong hurriedly said to Zhao Youcai, "Brother, let's go and take a look too."
Nowadays, teacher is not just a profession, but also a respected one.
In Yongan Forest District, even when it was raining knives from the sky, the teachers were never harmed.
Although Song Lixia's home visit had nothing to do with Li Dayong and his wife, Li Xiaoqiao was in Song Lixia's class, so Li Dayong and Jin Xiaomei could not neglect her.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Youcai walked out with Li Dayong and Jin Xiaomei without saying a word.
In this way, Zhao Youcai, Wang Meilan, Li Dayong and Jin Xiaomei went out of the yard to greet Song Lixia.
When the four of them arrived outside the yard, they saw Song Lixia pushing her bicycle towards them, not far from the Zhao family.
Zhao Hong and Li Xiaoqiao were walking on the left and right, talking to Song Lixia.
The two younger children, Wang Tian sitting on the front beam of the bicycle and Zhao Na sitting on the back seat, were pushed back by Song Lixia.
Seeing this, Zhao Youcai and other three hurried forward to meet them.
Song Lixia also lived in Yong'an Village, and her husband was an ordinary cook in the second canteen of the forest farm. But because she was a teacher, Zhao Youcai and the other three were quite polite to her.
While Zhao Youcai and the other two were greeting Song Lixia, Wang Meilan carried Wang Tian and Zhao Na out of the car, and then hit Zhao Hong with a stick.
Zhao Hong didn't expect her mother to attack her out of the blue, and was hit unexpectedly. But she was wearing a thick cotton jacket, so Wang Meilan's blow didn't hurt much, but it made a lot of noise.
Hearing the noise, Song Lixia looked over here but didn't say anything.
"Sister-in-law, hurry up, let's go upstairs and warm up." As the nominal head of the family, Zhao Youcai invited Song Lixia into his yard. They all lived in the same village, and Zhao Youcai got along well with Song Lixia and her husband.
At this time, the decomposed wild boar meat was still placed outside.
Song Lixia, who had just entered the courtyard, saw this and said to Zhao Youcai, "Second Brother Zhao, did you hunt wild boars again today?"
"Yeah, haha..." Zhao Youcai smiled, raised his hand and held up three fingers, saying: "I'm knocking on three today, a big sow, two old year old..."
Having said this, Zhao Youcai saw Wang Meilan glaring at him, and Zhao Youcai quickly restrained himself.
Wang Meilan glared at Zhao Youcai because she was angry that the old man was showing off at this time. After Zhao Youcai was silent, Wang Meilan said to Song Lixia: "Lixia, before I leave, I'll get you some meat to make dumplings for the children at home."
"No, sister-in-law." Song Lixia quickly refused and said, "My second brother sent meat to my family yesterday. He sent half a rib and a thigh."
As soon as Song Lixia finished speaking, she heard Zhao Youcai say, "I came back today and my brother and sister-in-law sent me home."
After saying this, Zhao Youcai smiled at Song Lixia and said, "My brother Chuncheng is at home and insisted that I come in and sit for a while."
The Chuncheng brother that Zhao Youcai mentioned was Song Lixia's man. Hearing what Zhao Youcai said, Song Lixia smiled and said, "Thank you, second brother, for sending pork to my family every day."
"Oh, what's this?" Zhao Youcai said with a smile, "We caught it on the mountain, let's eat it together."
At this time, Wang Meilan gave Zhao Youcai an appreciative look. Wang Meilan wanted to say that the pork you gave was a good gift.
As they were talking, they had already arrived in front of the Zhao family's house. Li Dayong helped Song Lixia park the car under the west window. Zhao Youcai held the door and invited Song Lixia in.
After entering the house, Wang Meilan and Jin Xiaomei invited Song Lixia into the east room.
Zhao Youcai and Li Dayong followed in. Zhao Ling came out and took Zhao Hong, Zhao Na, Wang Tian, and Li Xiaoqiao into the west room. Then Zhao Hong said to Li Tongyun, "Miss, let's go to the west courtyard to study."
Hearing her words, everyone in the room laughed. But they held back their laughter for fear of being heard by Song Lixia in the opposite room.
This kid is trying to avoid being beaten.
Li Tongyun looked at Zhao Jun and saw Zhao Jun nodded. He whispered, "Xiao Yun, you lead them there."
Li Tongyun nodded and smiled when she heard that, then she got up from the kang and left with the children.
At this time, Yang Yufeng came into the east room with water and Xu Chunyan came into the east room with peanuts and melon seeds.
"Stop busying yourself." Seeing that it was the two of them, Song Lixia smiled and said, "You are not strangers. I will sit for a while and say a few words, then I will leave."
Yang Yufeng and Xu Chunyan both smiled, put down their things and left the east room.
At this moment, the outer room and the west room were completely silent, and everyone pricked up their ears.
"Lixia, you have to run again." Wang Meilan knew she couldn't escape, so she spoke to Song Lixia first, "Did my kid cause trouble again?"
"Haha." Song Lixia smiled. She also gave face to Wang Meilan and Zhao Youcai, so she didn't rush to talk about Zhao Hong's misfortune. Instead, she said, "Second sister-in-law, our Xiaohong has improved her studies."
"Really?" Wang Meilan was a little surprised, and then she heard Song Lixia continue, "Yes, I am willing to raise my hand in class, and I did everything right in answering the questions."
Wang Meilan was very happy to hear this, and then smiled and said, "She has a little girl, and she takes her to study at home during the holidays."
"That's great." Song Lixia smiled, then changed the subject and said, "But... this child is getting better and better?"
Hearing Song Lixia's words, Wang Meilan immediately frowned and asked, "Whose child did you fight with again?"
Song Lixia frowned and said, "He was beaten by Sun Ruihai again."
Zhao Youcai, Wang Meilan: "..."
Zhao Jun: "..."
Zhao Youcai and Wang Meilan were speechless because their second daughter was the only one who could beat him. Last semester, Song Lixia came to visit and said that Zhao Hong also beat that child.
Zhao Jun was speechless because Sun Ruihai was his second brother-in-law in his previous life, and also Zhao Hong's man.
Zhao Jun had a miserable life in his previous life, but his elder sister and two younger sisters lived a good life. They were not rich, but their families were happy.
Both of his brothers-in-law are good. When Zhao Jun was messing around outside, it was his two brothers-in-law in Yong'an Tun who took care of Zhao Youcai.
After his rebirth, Zhao Jun's family conditions improved, but he still hoped that the fate of his two sisters would not change.
But now it seems that the marriage between my second sister and her husband is over.
Wang Meilan didn't even need to ask, she knew it was her daughter's problem. So, Wang Meilan wanted to apologize to Song Lixia immediately.
But just as she was about to speak, she heard Zhao Youcai ask, "Sister-in-law, what are you yelling about this time?"
When asked this by Zhao Youcai, Song Lixia was slightly stunned, then looked at Zhao Youcai deeply.
If Zhao Youcai hadn't asked, Song Lixia might not have said anything. But since Zhao Youcai had asked, Song Lixia had no choice but to say it.
The incident originated from the composition Song Lixia assigned yesterday, asking students to write about something new that happened around them.
In class today, Song Lixia selected a few students to read aloud their own essays.
Usually, Zhao Hong would hide away from such things. But today, Zhao Hong was particularly eager to read her composition aloud.
Seeing that Zhao Hong was about to stand up and raise her hand, Song Lixia called on Zhao Hong first.
Zhao Hong's composition was very simple, with the same theme from beginning to end. She wrote about her family buying a TV, a refrigerator, a washing machine, a tape recorder, a big motorcycle, and a big jeep.
In the article, Zhao Hong also emphasized that her family’s washing machine, refrigerator and large motorcycle are the only ones in the forest area.
Song Lixia felt that Zhao Hong had gone off topic in her composition, but seeing Zhao Hong's smug look, Song Lixia didn't talk to her in class, thinking that she would have a chance to talk to her after class.
Then, Song Lixia called Wang Wei's name again.
Wang Wei from Wang Fu's family was the monitor of Zhao Hong's class. Wang Wei's academic performance was one of the best in the class. For things like reading essays, she would definitely be the one to do it.
Compared with Zhao Hong's diary, Wang Wei's composition is much more fluent. Wang Wei wrote that on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, her father went out to herd cattle, but when he came back, the cattle did not.
After her mother's questioning, her father said that her family's old ox was hit and killed by an old man named Zhao from the village riding a motorcycle.
The poor old ox worked diligently and conscientiously. The pens and notebooks she used for study and the flowery cotton jacket she wore were all contributed by the old ox. But she didn't expect that on the Lantern Festival, the old ox would end up with no trace of its body.
There was nothing wrong with the composition and wording of Wang Wei's essay, but just as Wang Wei was about to sit down, Sun Ruihai said, "Wang Wei's cow was hit to death by Zhao Hong's father!"
Zhao Hong was stunned, then shouted angrily, "You're talking nonsense." But Sun Ruihai said, "You wrote it yourself. You're the only family in our forest area that has a motorcycle."
This sentence made Zhao Hong so angry that she lost control and forgot that she was in class. She picked up her Chinese textbook and hit the child...
I feel pretty good today. I will stay at home for the day and go for acupuncture tomorrow. Sitting still doesn't work, so I lie on the kang to write. I will make up for what I owed the day before yesterday today and send it out in the evening.
