Chapter 1494: The Secret Old Wang Family (New Year's Day Event Extra 15)
In the Zhao family compound, big red lanterns are hung high and wintersweets are blooming on the tent.
Zhao Chun came back from the toilet and circled the jeep. After turning the circle, Zhao Chun felt very happy.
Her parents' family is her backing and her confidence.
Although the Zhou family had nothing to say about her in the past, the sense of security given by her husband's family was never as good as that given by her own family.
"Sister." Just then, the door of the Zhao family opened, and Zhao Jun, holding Zhou Cao, came out of the house and walked out of the yard.
"Hey, brother." Zhao Chun saw Zhao Jun and greeted him with a smile.
The person in front of her is her most proud brother.
"Sister, get in the car." Zhao Jun handed Zhou Tao to Zhao Chun and said, "I'll take you back."
While Zhao Jun was speaking, Zhou Chunming and Hu Sanmei were sent out by Zhao Youcai and Wang Meilan, followed by Wang Qiang, Zhou Jianjun and others.
"Mother-in-law." Hu Sanmei, who had arrived at the gate, took Wang Meilan's hand and said, "Aren't you coming tomorrow?"
"You go to your in-laws' house." Wang Meilan said with a smile, "I'll take the two girls to Qiangzi's house, and my son to Shunzi's house."
Tomorrow, not only Zhou Chunming's family will slaughter a pig, but also Wang Qiang and Lin Xiangshun's families will do so.
Since they were all gathered together, the Zhao family had to split into three groups and go to the banquet at three different houses.
This kind of thing is very common in rural areas, especially in the twelfth lunar month, when every family slaughters a pig. If this happens, the family will separate, so that everyone can be taken care of and the host family can save a mouth.
After hearing what Wang Meilan said, Hu Sanmei didn't force it.
At this time, Li Tongyun came back from the east. The girl was wearing a red down jacket on the upper body and washed-out jeans on the lower body.
It is said that it is popular in the city to wash jeans like this these days. But hers was washed by herself on a washboard.
This outfit, paired with calfskin shoes and a knitted hat, makes her stand out in the village. It can be said that in this forest area, only Ma Ling can compare with her.
The girl walked in a very graceful manner, with her arms swinging slightly at both sides of her body, and her steps were small and unhurried, really like a lady from a noble family.
Seeing their daughter coming back, Li Dazhi and Lin Xue walked over nervously.
The couple was nervous, not because they were afraid that something had happened to their daughter, otherwise they would have gone out to look for her long ago.
"Where have you been?" Lin Xue approached and asked Li Tongyun directly, "Before your Aunt Liu and Xiaoxue left, they were looking for you."
"Ah, haha." Li Tongyun smiled faintly and said, "I ate too much. I'm going to walk around the village to digest the food."
Hearing her say this, Li Dazhi asked in a low voice: "You didn't cause any trouble, did you?"
"What are you talking about?" Li Tongyun rolled her eyes at Li Dazhi, then pretended to be wronged and whispered, "Could it be that in your father's eyes, your daughter is the kind of person who stirs up trouble?"
Li Dazhi's mouth twitched, and just as he was about to say something, he heard Zhou Chunming calling him from behind: "Dazhi, I'm leaving!"
"Hey, Brother Zhou!" At this time, Li Dazhi and his wife no longer cared about Li Tongyun, and both turned around to see Zhou Chunming and his family off.
Zhao Jun drove the Zhou family back and forth for twenty minutes.
When I got home, the big red lanterns were already lit.
Zhao Jun parked the car and when he entered the house he saw Wang Meilan kneading dough in the outer room.
Jin Xiaomei, Zhao Ling and others gathered around, probably observing and learning.
"Mom, don't you want to take a break?" Zhao Jun was afraid that Wang Meilan would be tired, but Wang Meilan looked up and said to him, "Mom is not tired. I didn't do anything today."
Hearing Wang Meilan say this, Zhao Jun thought so too. Wang Meilan really didn't do much today. Apart from presiding over the overall situation, she just did some greasing work.
"Brother." At this time, Li Baoyu threw an orange.
Zhao Jun raised his hand to catch the orange, peeling the orange peel as he walked over. When Wang Meilan saw that the dough was yellow and shiny, it was obvious that she had added a lot of oil when kneading the dough.
"Mom, what are you going to do?" Zhao Jun asked. Wang Meilan smiled and said, "Come back tomorrow afternoon and I'll make fried dough twists, fried dough balls, spring rolls, etc."
Before the Chinese New Year, every family that can afford it will fry something.
"Sister." After hearing what Wang Meilan said, Xie Sun asked, "You said the other day that you can also fry spring rolls?"
"Yes." Wang Meilan saw Jin Xiaomei and the others were curious, and immediately smiled and said, "It's just steamed pancake skin, rolled with red bean paste, and fried in a pan."
Hearing Wang Meilan say this, Xie Sun pursed her lips subconsciously.
If it were someone else, Wang Meilan would have teased her, "Sister, why don't you finish eating here and go back later?"
But Wang Meilan didn't dare to do that to Xie Sun. If she teased her, she might not leave.
Thinking this way, it wasn't that Wang Meilan was annoyed by Jie Sun, nor was she afraid of Jie Sun eating.
But today is the 24th day of the twelfth lunar month, and tomorrow is the 25th day of the twelfth lunar month. This year, there is no New Year's Eve, and the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month is New Year's Eve. If they continue to eat at Yong'an, won't the Xie family go back to celebrate the New Year?
Xie Sun was quite generous and Xie Chen didn't care, but Xie Zhong wanted to go home because his wife and children were still in his hometown.
After Wang Meilan finished kneading the dough, she covered the basin with a sorghum stalk curtain and took it to the east room and placed it on the head of the kang.
When she came out, Li Ruhai came over from next door carrying some frozen pears and persimmons.
These were all brought by Jin Xiaomei to entertain the guests, but Jin Xiaomei was much more careful, so there were still a lot left.
Everyone had a greasy meal at noon, so this is just the right thing to relieve the greasiness.
But even so, they still have to eat at night. There is no other way, because these people are used to eating three meals a day.
It's just that this evening's meal was late, not until after 6 o'clock. And there was no meat at all, just a pot of hot soup noodles with pickled vegetables.
After finishing the dinner, the seven families dispersed.
It is only at this time every day that the Zhao family becomes a little quiet.
They dispersed a little earlier today. The five members of the Zhao family plus Xing San sat in the east room watching TV.
"Boy." Suddenly, Xing San asked Zhao Jun, "Why did we go up the mountain?"
"Where are you going?" As soon as Zhao Jun asked this question, he realized it himself.
"Uncle San, you mean we put down those big leather cages, right?" Zhao Jun asked. Xing San nodded and said, "Yeah, why don't we sneak back before the New Year? Didn't you leave on the eighth day of the New Year? We have to see if there are any big white leather cages."
"Yeah." Zhao Jun nodded, then looked at Wang Meilan and asked, "Mom, when are we going to visit the grave?"
"The 27th." Wang Meilan said, "Tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, we all have to help."
"Third uncle." After hearing what Wang Meilan said, Zhao Jun looked at Xing San and asked, "Then how about we go up the mountain on the 28th? After that, we can send some money to my third aunt and my brother."
When Zhao Jun said this, the old man was briefly stunned, and then he said excitedly: "Boy, you still want to come here?"
Zhao Jun smiled and asked, "Uncle, can we go on the 28th?"
"Okay, okay, okay!" Xing San nodded repeatedly and said, "I'm thinking about going there by myself tomorrow."
"Twenty-eight, I'll take you there." Zhao Jun said, "After that, we'll go the same way, let's go get that big wallet."
At this point, Zhao Jun smiled at Wang Meilan and said, "Mom, my third uncle and I are going to get our skins cleaned up, and then we'll be done."
"I can definitely get it!" Wang Meilan trusts her son the most and supports him the most.
But unlike Wang Meilan, Zhao Youcai, who was hugging a daughter, turned his head and glanced at Zhao Jun.
Zhao Jun didn't notice him at all, and kept talking to himself: "On the 28th, we'll come back from the mountain, and we'll go to the bathhouse to take a bath in the afternoon. After we wash ourselves clean, we'll have a lively New Year's celebration on the 29th."
"Yes!" Wang Meilan said with a smile, "We still have a pig left. Let's kill it on the 29th, and then we can have another meal."
After hearing what Wang Meilan said, Zhao Youcai turned his head again and pinched Wang Meilan with his eyelids.
Wang Meilan didn't notice how Zhao Youcai looked at her, so she asked Xing San, "Brother, can we prepare the pig-killing dish today?"
"Oh my god, it's so good." Xing San said, "I've never eaten like this in my life."
Zhao Jun and Wang Meilan smiled when they heard this, and then they heard Xing San praise Wang Meilan, "You are more capable than your father in preparing this feast."
"Really?" Wang Meilan spoke with a hint of joy when she heard Xing San's words.
Her father, Wang Dabazhang, is a role model in Wang Meilan's heart. Now that she has surpassed her father in one aspect, although it is in eating and drinking, Wang Meilan feels a sense of accomplishment.
"Yeah!" Xing San nodded and said to Wang Meilan, "I can't remember what year it was. Anyway, I worked for your family. Your father killed two pigs and cut five pounds of meat for me. That made your sister-in-law very happy."
"Really?" Wang Meilan smiled when she heard that, and at this time Xing Sanhua frowned and said, "At that time, I didn't think anything was wrong, but now that I think about it, why do I feel something is wrong?"
"What's wrong?" Wang Meilan asked hurriedly after hearing his words.
"I remember that day when Sun Laowai slaughtered a pig for your family." Xing San recalled, "Every time he killed one, he would shout, saying that he had found a treasure."
"What treasure?" Zhao Jun and Wang Meilan asked in unison, the money-loving nature in their blood bursting out.
"It should be pig sand." Xing San tilted his head and thought for a while, then said, "Both pigs seem to have sand."
"Hmm?" Wang Meilan sat up straight and asked Xing San, "Brother, what do you mean?"
"I...I..." Xing San thought for a moment and said, "I remember how many years your family has been raising pigs."
"Yes, yes." Wang Meilan nodded repeatedly and said, "I also remember it. It's in my house..."
At this point, Wang Meilan paused and said, "The warehouse in the village is where my pigpen used to be."
At this time, Zhao Jun pressed Wang Meilan's arm, signaling Wang Meilan not to interrupt.
Then, Zhao Jun asked Xing San, "Uncle San, do you mean that my great-grandmother can raise pigs and specially produce pig litter?"
"I feel so." Xing San said, "After that incident, your grandma won't need Sun Laowai to kill pigs anymore."
Sun Laowai is the father of Sun Daxiaba, and Sun Daxiaba is the deceased husband of Wang Dalong’s mistress Jiang Xiaolan.
Both the father and son of the Sun family are butchers. In the past few decades, they have been asked to slaughter large animals in the village.
"Then he killed them himself?" Zhao Jun asked, glancing at Wang Meilan. Zhao Jun remembered Zhao Youcai saying that several generations ago, Wang Meilan's grandfather and great grandfather were butchers.
It is said that Wang Daba Zhang was originally a butcher, but he became rich later. Moreover, Wang Daba Zhang made his first fortune by slaughtering large animals.
"No." Xing San shook his head and said with a smile, "He was so rich before, how could he do that?"
After saying this, Xing San paused, then said a name, "Later, he didn't use Sun Laowai anymore, so he used Wang Sanxi to kill him."
"Who?" In an instant, Zhao Jun's voice changed.
Wang Sanxi was a subordinate of the bearded widow Wang. At the beginning, Zhao Jun looked for him everywhere just to learn from him the whereabouts of his grandfather's treasure.
Today, part of the treasure left by the wealthy Wang has been unearthed, and there are clues to the remaining part.
Zhao Jun no longer needed to look for Wang Sanxi, but when he heard this name, he had the same feeling as Xing San, thinking that it was no coincidence that Wang Daba killed two pigs and both produced pig sand.
"Wang Sanxi." Xing San said, looking at Wang Meilan and said, "Sister-in-law, are your two families related?"
"Yes." Wang Meilan nodded, and she had the same feeling as Zhao Jun at this moment.
Suddenly, Zhao Jun and Wang Meilan looked at Zhao Youcai at the same time.
Xing San was stunned when he saw this, and then the old man looked at Zhao Youcai.
Zhao Youcai, who was watching TV with his two daughters in his arms, seemed to have noticed something. He turned his head slowly and carefully.
When he met the gazes of the three people, Zhao Youcai quickly turned his head away.
Seeing him like this, Wang Meilan twitched her lips, then picked up Zhang Yuanmin's ash-carved tickler and pointed at Zhao Youcai, saying, "Come here, come here."
During the seven days of New Year's Day, there is an activity to vote for monthly tickets and add more chapters. Brothers voted for me, and I will add more chapters starting from today.
