Chapter 1487: Wall of Photos (League Leader Reborn: I read the online novel at a certain point plus 45)
After finishing the chores in Yongshengtun, Zhao Jun drove home.
When he left home in the morning, Wang Meilan said that they would have two meals today, starting at four o'clock in the afternoon.
But by the time he entered Yong'antun, it was already past five o'clock.
The jeep rushed home and we could see big red lanterns hanging high in the distance.
Zhao Jun didn't worry about dinner at all because he believed that no matter what time he got home, there would be food to eat.
The jeep stopped outside the yard. Zhao Jun honked the horn twice, calling for the people in the house to come out and carry things.
As soon as the horn sounded, more than ten people, men and women, came out.
Melon seeds, peanuts, and sugar were all sent to the warehouse. In those days, every rural household had a broken cabinet in the warehouse. They locked sticky rice dumplings and other things in it to prevent them from being destroyed by rats.
The cabinets in the Zhao family's warehouse were filled to the brim, so they moved the things to the Li family's warehouse next door.
Apples, oranges, and green vegetables were stored in the cellar. Today, after Li Baoyu and Xie Chen received Xie Zhong, they went to Xishantun under the leadership of Li Ruhai and harvested 2,000 kilograms of potatoes.
In just one month, the GDP of Xishantun has increased more than a hundred times. This year, every family in Xishantun can have meat on the kang table, and the children can have candy balls and frozen pears to eat. For example, Wu Dalin, who has a high income, bought a small foreign whip for his child after the fight that day.
Just like Wu Dalin said, their family will have a prosperous year this year.
But after this Chinese New Year, the whole village of Xishantun will face a vegetable shortage. The last time Wang Meilan went to Xishantun to collect the vegetables, they sold all their dried vegetables. After the Chinese New Year, the cabbage and sauerkraut were all gone, and they didn’t even have pickles.
When they were in trouble, Wang Meilan was not worried. She put two thousand kilograms of potatoes into the cellar, filling it up. Wang Meilan felt at ease.
Seeing Zhao Jun buying so many things again, Wang Meilan became even happier. Since her own cellar couldn't hold all the things, she put them at the Li family next door.
Ever since Zhao Youcai became the shopkeeper, he hasn't even started to make any money, but he's already started to act like a big boss.
Despite all the busy work outside, he didn't move in the house.
Since Zhao Youcai didn't come out, Li Dayong personally led the team, including Wang Qiang, Lin Xiangshun, Li Baoyu and others, to store the fruits and vegetables purchased by Zhao Jun in the cellar.
They didn't ask Zhao Jun for help. Zhao Jun didn't even go to Li's courtyard. He just helped them carry things down from the front of the car.
The last basket of garlic sprouts was unloaded from the car. Wang Meilan took a bundle and said she would stir-fry it in the evening.
"Oh my god." Zhao Jun heard this and asked hurriedly, "Didn't you say we'd have two meals?"
"Your sister and the others won't do it." Wang Meilan said with a smile, "They are used to eating three meals a day, and we are not used to it."
After saying this, Wang Meilan's face suddenly changed, and she hurriedly asked Zhao Jun: "Son, did you have lunch?"
"We ate." Zhao Jun said with a smile, "We ate at Director Chu's house."
After hearing what Zhao Jun said, Wang Meilan felt relieved and said with a smile, "Oh, this director is quite considerate."
"Yeah." Zhao Jun said, "Prepare eight dishes for us... Oh, by the way, Mom."
Zhao Jun remembered that Chu Anmin's family was coming for dinner, so he wanted to talk to Wang Meilan and Zhao Youcai about it.
Zhao Youcai was not there at the moment, so Zhao Jun said to Wang Meilan, "Mom, let's go into the house first. I have something to tell you."
"Let's go, son." The mother and daughter walked into the yard, and Zhao Jun suddenly saw a strange-shaped building on the west wall of the Li family, which was not next to his own house.
That thing was quite tall, and had a chimney at the back. It looked like a stove but not a stove, and like a furnace but not a furnace.
"Mom!" Zhao Jun paused, raised his hand and pointed over there, asking Wang Meilan, "What is that?"
"Roasting oven." Wang Meilan said with a smile, "Your elder brother Zhang came up with this idea. Roasting a whole roe deer is delicious."
After Wang Meilan finished speaking to Zhao Jun, she shouted to the west courtyard, "Qiangzi!"
"Sister!" Wang Qiang did not go down to the cellar. He and Lin Xiangshun carried the baskets down, and Li Dayong and Li Baoyu followed.
"Take out the roe deer meat for your nephew!" Wang Meilan said. Wang Qiang glanced at the oven and turned back to say, "Nephew, please go inside first. Your uncle will bring it to you later."
"What's going on, Mom?" Zhao Jun asked Wang Meilan, "Is the stove still on?"
"The fire is not out yet." Wang Meilan said, "The meat I left for you is still warm inside."
At this point, Wang Meilan smiled and said, "Son, try it. The meat is delicious."
As they were talking, the mother and daughter had already arrived at the door. Wang Meilan pulled the door open with one hand and gently pushed Zhao Jun's back with the other hand, allowing her son, who had been busy all day, to enter the house first.
Zhao Jun entered the house, the old lady and Xie Sun came out from the east room, and Xing San and Zhang Yuanmin came out from the west room.
Without waiting for anyone to speak, Zhang Yuanmin asked Zhao Jun first: "Brother, have you seen the big oven that I designed and helped build?"
Zhao Jun was happy to hear what Zhang Yuanmin said.
"Brother, where did you learn this?" Zhao Jun said with a smile, "I also designed and participated in the construction."
Zhang Yuanmin smiled and didn't say where his knowledge came from. At this time, Xiao Lingdang, who came out of the east room with Zhao Hong and Zhao Na, thought to herself, "The Zhaozhou Bridge."
"Brother!" Zhao Hong and Zhao Na each grabbed one of Zhao Jun's hands, shook it, and asked in unison: "What did you buy for me?"
"I bought you some delicious food!" Wang Meilan took the small basket she was carrying, took out two oranges from it and handed them to Zhao Hong, saying, "Go, give them to your Grandma Jiang and Aunt Sun first."
"Hey!" Zhao Hong responded, took the orange and turned around to find the old lady and reconcile with Sun.
"Brother, Lingdang." Wang Meilan distributed oranges to Xing San and Lingdang in turn. When she gave the oranges to Lingdang, she took out garlic sprouts and two oranges from the basket. She gave the basket to Lingdang and said, "Lingdang, go upstairs with your Aunt Yun and eat."
Xiao Lingling walked away holding the basket in one hand and holding Zhao Na's hand with the other.
Wang Meilan gave one of the oranges in her hand to Zhang Yuanmin and the other to Zhao Jun.
When they entered the west room, they saw Xing San had already shared the oranges with Zhao Youcai. The old man peeled open the oranges Wang Meilan gave him and gave half to Zhao Youcai.
"Brother, just eat." Wang Meilan said to Xing San, "There are still a lot outside. My small basket can't hold much. Xiaomei and the others will bring it back soon."
At this time, the men went down to the cellar to arrange the vegetables, while the women were tidying up the cabinets in the Li family's warehouse. There were already a lot of things in the cabinets, and they needed to be rearranged to make room for melon seeds, peanuts, etc.
"Oh my!" At this moment, Zhao Jun realized something was wrong. He looked up at the wall and said, "Mom, are you papering the wall?"
"Ah!" Wang Meilan smiled and took credit, saying, "How is it, son? Much brighter now, right?"
The room was heated with a kang, and the dust grew thicker every day. After a while, the newspapers on the wall were all blackened.
After changing the newspaper, although it was still covered with dense words, it was much brighter than before.
Zhao Jun didn't say anything. He took a few steps forward and looked at the copies of "Reference News" and "RM Daily" on the wall. His head suddenly buzzed.
These are not ordinary newspapers, they are learning materials given by Director Chu!
If you leave it at home and don't learn, it's fine. You can even use it to start a fire or block the stove. It's fine as long as Director Chu doesn't see it. After all, even if he comes, he can't find these newspapers. But if you paste it on the wall, you can see it with your eyes!
Seeing Zhao Jun staring at the wall, Zhao Youcai said with a smile: "What are you looking at? As if you know a few words!"
He didn't mean to disparage anyone by saying this. Zhao Jun had read newspapers, but he didn't recognize many words. There were also some words that he knew but couldn't write.
"Oh my god!" Zhao Jun slapped his thighs and said, "Why did you paste this newspaper on the wall?"
"This newspaper is so big!" Wang Meilan raised her hand and pointed at the RM Daily on the wall, saying, "This one covers a large area. It's so convenient!"
"I..." Zhao Jun looked at the "RM Daily". This newspaper is larger than other newspapers and more than twice the size of "Reference News".
At this time, Wang Meilan hadn't noticed anything wrong with Zhao Jun. She smiled and said to Zhao Jun, "On the 23rd, sticky sugar melons; on the 24th, sweep the house. This year the Chinese New Year is on the 29th, so everything will be moved up a day. We'll have a dinner party tomorrow, so Mom will clean up today."
After hearing what Wang Meilan said, Zhao Jun took a deep breath and then sighed.
"What's the matter, kid?" Seeing that Zhao Jun's face looked strange, Xing San asked hurriedly.
"These newspapers were given to me by the director of the Forestry Bureau." Zhao Jun pointed at the newspapers on the wall and said, "He asked me to take them back and study at home."
"Hehe..." After hearing Zhao Jun's first sentence, no one reacted. But when they heard his second sentence, everyone in the room laughed.
"Go away, you!" Zhao Youcai took out a Shilin cigarette from his pocket and said, "You are in school, but you don't study."
After saying this, Zhao Youcai added: "I haven't even finished the first grade of junior high school."
"My brother doesn't like to study." Zhang Yuanmin criticized Zhao Jun in a rare move, saying, "I only studied for three days and then dropped out because my family was too poor. Otherwise, with my brain, I would have been the first high school student in our forest area."
After saying this, Zhang Yuanmin shook his head with regret and said, "I don't even want to talk about these things."
"Forget it!" Zhao Youcai raised his hand and gestured to Zhang Yuanmin, "You have trouble even pulling up your pants, what are you trying to pull up?"
When Zhao Youcai said this, even Zhang Yuanmin himself laughed.
Only Zhao Jun couldn't be happy!
"Son!" Wang Meilan clearly demonstrated what it means to be a loving mother but spoil your child. She gently supported Zhao Jun's shoulder and said, "Why are you studying? Why are you working so hard?"
As she spoke, Wang Meilan waved her hand upwards and said, "We have plenty of money!"
Wang Meilan said this with confidence, but what she relied on was not the Chamber of Commerce, but the treasures and tiger blood pills left to her and her siblings by her father, the rich man Wang.
Zhao Jun turned to look at Wang Meilan, his lips trembling. He couldn't say a word of complaint to Wang Meilan.
Actually, it was not Wang Meilan's fault. Zhao Jun took the newspaper back and threw it on the kang. Today the little lynx scratched it, and tomorrow the little black bear gnawed it. Every time Wang Meilan swept the kang, she had to move the newspaper.
He didn't even read it once, so who would know that he was reading the newspaper to study?
"Hey?" At this time, Zhao Youcai looked up and asked Zhao Jun: "Did you buy me cigarettes?"
Zhao Jun's eyes squinted when he heard what he said, and he thought, "Oh no! I was so engrossed in buying groceries that I forgot to buy him cigarettes."
But at the moment, Zhao Jun had no time to care about Zhao Youcai's cigarette.
Zhao Jun put down his cotton monkey, sat sideways on the edge of the kang, and stuffed the orange in his hand to Xing San. Then Zhao Jun said to Zhao Youcai and Wang Meilan: "Dad, Mom, I went to Director Chu's house today and happened to catch his old lady talking about wanting to eat blood sausage or something. Then I said that my family would kill a pig tomorrow and asked them to come over to eat pork."
"Ah?" Wang Meilan's face changed drastically when she heard what Zhao Jun said. She looked up at the newspaper that was slightly reflecting on the wall, then turned back to ask Zhao Jun, "Son, they said they're here?"
Seeing Zhao Jun nod, Zhao Youcai raised his hand and pointed at Wang Meilan, saying, "It's your turn! I told you to be diligent, now it's okay, right?"
Qinqin is a Northeastern dialect, and the second Qin is pronounced lightly. Putting these two words together, it means that a person is diligent, but not so positive, but with a slightly teasing tone.
"Son, what should we do?" Wang Meilan didn't have time to deal with Zhao Youcai. She looked at Zhao Jun anxiously and said, "Mom has brought trouble upon you!"
"It's okay..." Zhao Jun just opened his mouth when Wang Qiang came in with a plate.
"Nephew!" Wang Qiang looked around the east and west rooms and saw Zhao Jun in the west room, so he shouted, "Try this meat, it's delicious!"
Zhao Jun was not at home today, and it seemed that they had not been too busy at home. The roe deer was roasted after the hair was removed, and the skin was roasted red and slightly burnt, and it was also oily.
"All you think about is eating!" As soon as Wang Qiang finished speaking, Zhao Youcai said, "You two sisters are in trouble, and you're still eating?"
"Huh?" Wang Qiang looked at Zhao Youcai in confusion, but saw Zhao Youcai pointing down at the wall and saying, "Didn't you two sisters build this wall?"
"Ah!" Wang Qiang looked at Zhao Youcai and said, "If you are not confused, how can I let my sister be confused herself?"
Today, Xing San, Li Baoyu, Li Ruhai and Jie Chen all went up the mountain, and Li Dayong was at home helping Jin Xiaomei paste the wall.
At the Zhao family's side, Zhao Youcai was too lazy to help. He said that he was busy at home every day, and now that I finally have a holiday, he still wants me to work?
A couple should not quarrel over everything. Seeing him like this, Wang Meilan ignored him and continued to mix the dough and paste.
Just at that time, Wang Qiang came over. The wall was built by the two siblings together.
"Then you..." Zhao Youcai seemed to want to say something, but he felt his scalp tingling, as if he had run into a blind bear in the mountains.
Zhao Youcai keenly sensed the danger. When he looked up, he met Wang Meilan's cold gaze.
He said Wang Meilan, Wang Meilan might ignore him. But he said he was Wang Meilan's brother, and Wang Meilan's only brother, Wang Meilan couldn't stand it. That's why there were so many people, otherwise Wang Meilan would have to deal with him.
In this regard, Zhao Jun has the most say. He was such a jerk in his previous life, and later he had no food to eat, so he moved to Old Zhou's house in Yongsheng.
That's it. Unless Zhou Jianjun was drunk, he would never dare to say a word against Zhao Jun.
"Son!" After intimidating Zhao Youcai with her eyes, Wang Meilan said to Zhao Jun: "Mom is sorry for you, mom has caused trouble for you..."
"Oh my god, what are you talking about?" Wang Meilan is a parent who spoils her child, and Zhao Jun is a child who spoils his parents. Zhao Jun felt distressed when he heard what Wang Meilan said. He interrupted Wang Meilan and looked up at the newspaper on the wall.
"What's going on?" Wang Qiang also felt something was wrong. Zhang Yuanmin on the side briefly explained the matter to Wang Qiang, and Wang Qiang exclaimed, "Oh my God!"
"Hey?" At this time, Wang Meilan said to Zhao Youcai, "Go find Guofeng quickly."
"What are you doing?" Zhao Youcai asked. Wang Meilan said, "Ask him if there are any newspapers in the village..."
"No more." Before Wang Meilan could finish, Zhao Youcai said, "At this time, everyone was pasting newspapers on the walls and going to the village office to find newspapers. Now he has nothing to open his butt."
Hearing what he said, Wang Meilan glared at Zhao Youcai fiercely.
"Sister, it's okay!" Wang Qiang stepped forward and looked at the newspapers on the wall with Zhao Jun and Wang Meilan, saying, "I have some newspapers at home. I'll use them to paste it for you."
"Please forget it." Wang Meilan said, "Isn't everything in your house given to you by me?"
After hearing what Wang Meilan said, Wang Qiang fell silent.
"Mom!" Just then, Zhao Jun said to Wang Meilan, "Do you still have the newspaper we bought last time when we went to the city?"
"Yes! Yes!" Wang Meilan's eyes lit up and she nodded repeatedly, "There are quite a few, it's blurry enough."
"Haha..." Just when Wang Meilan was happy, Zhao Youcai threw a basin of cold water on her and said, "Put up a wall of your son's photos?"
Zhao Jun, Wang Meilan, Wang Qiang, Xing San, Zhang Yuanmin: "..."
