Chapter 1469: Too much art does not overwhelm the body
The Zhao family old house was built at great expense by Zhao Jun's grandfather Zhao Dazhui after Zhao Youcai and Wang Meilan got engaged.
The so-called huge sum of money was all the cash the Zhao family had at that time.
All they have, but few are left.
We built this so-called small three-room house with a usable area of more than 40 square meters, less than 50 square meters.
The house was already quite large at the time, but it could not accommodate so many people working in the Zhao family.
As soon as Zhao Youcai, Zhang Yuanmin, Lin Xiangshun, Li Baoyu, Jie Chen, Li Ruhai and the others came out from the inner room, together with the people who were chopping stuffing, the outer room was almost full of people.
At this moment, no one in this group of people said anything. They just looked at Zhao Youcai with various looks, which made Zhao Youcai feel nervous.
The strong wind knows the strong grass, and the rough waves know the loyal ministers.
"Jun!" At this juncture, Li Dayong walked out of the east room and called Zhao Jun, "It's the same to drive one sheep or two sheep. You can teach me how to do it."
After saying this, Li Dayong said to Wang Qiang who was watching the fun on the side: "Qiangzi, you should learn it too. It is always good to have many skills."
"I'll learn." Wang Qiang said, "My eldest nephew said he would teach me after the New Year."
"Then bring it to us too." Li Dayong looked at Zhao Jun, who nodded immediately and said, "Let's learn, uncle, that's no problem."
Zhao Jun and Wang Meilan both support their decision to learn how to drive.
These days you don’t need a license to drive in forest areas, the main issues are fuel consumption and car repairs.
The Zhao family has Zhou Jianjun for oil, Lin Xiangshun for auto parts, and a car at home. The more people who can drive, the more people who can work.
Hearing Zhao Jun's agreement, Zhao Youcai was so happy that he went into the house happily to smoke, drink tea and watch TV.
After the "News Broadcast" ended, Zhao Youcai watched the "Evening News" on Shanhe TV for a while. Seeing that it was almost eight o'clock, Zhao Youcai said to Zhao Jun, "Go and get that wild boar skin back."
"Okay, Dad." Zhao Jun stood up, and Li Baoyu, who was sitting next to him, stood up and said, "Brother, I'll go with you."
"I'll go too." Xie Chen also said, "I'll go for a stroll too."
"Brother, I..." Seeing that Zhang Yuanmin was about to stand up, Zhao Jun quickly held him down and said, "Brother, you should stay home and watch TV. It's just a wild boar skin, there's no need to go to so many people."
When Zhao Jun said this, he secretly winked at Li Ruhai.
Li Ruhai understood immediately. When he stood up from the bench, he turned around to pick up his cotton-padded jacket that was piled on the table against the wall and said, "I'm going out to get some fresh air too."
Hearing what Li Ruhai said, Zhao Youcai paused holding the cigarette and glanced to the side at Zhao Jun with his small eyes.
The four of them got dressed, walked outside and went to Chen Dalai's house.
As soon as he left the yard, Li Ruhai asked Zhao Jun, "Brother, what's the matter?"
"What's the matter?" Zhao Jun glanced at Li Ruhai and asked, "What bad things have you done again?"
"Ah?" Li Ruhai was startled, and then he cried out: "Brother, it's unfair! I have been working diligently at home since I came back from going out. Today alone, I swept 18 fox skins, 32 yellow leaves, and 5 big skins. I..."
"You're done." Zhao Jun interrupted Li Ruhai and said, "Let me ask you, did you give Ma Yang cigarettes?"
"Cigarette?" Li Baoyu, who was standing next to him, heard this and grabbed Li Ruhai's arm and asked, "Are you smoking?"
"Let go!" Li Ruhai shook off Li Baoyu's arm and asked Zhao Jun, "Brother, how did you know?"
"How do I know that?" Zhao Jun told what he had seen and heard at the Ma family. When he mentioned that Ma Yang had revealed that Li Ruhai had been smoking for half a year, Li Baoyu, who was standing next to him, screamed, "Oh my god, Li Ruhai! If you dare to smoke, I'll skin you alive!"
Li Ruhai glanced at Li Baoyu, then said to Zhao Jun: "Brother, don't be angry when I say something. Your brother-in-law is really not a reliable person."
At this point, Li Ruhai sighed heavily, and it was unclear whether he was sighing for Ma Yang or Li Baoyu.
Zhao Jun smiled when he heard this, and then he heard Li Ruhai continue to say: "He asked me for the cigarettes. He said so himself the day before I gave them to him. He would never say that I gave them to him even if he is beaten to death."
"If you won't tell me even if you're beaten to death, then you can tell me if you're not beaten to death." Li Baoyu gloated, "Who told you to smoke? If you don't smoke, who can ask you to smoke?"
Li Ruhai twitched his lips, but this time he didn't even look at Li Baoyu, he just explained to Zhao Jun: "Brother, actually I used to think smoking was fun, like I was acting like an adult.
Let's go back from Little Redwood this time. I think that thing is not interesting after careful consideration. I will kill it before I get too addicted to it. Isn't it? It's a waste of money and not good for your health. "
At this point, Li Ruhai paused for a moment, and when Zhao Jun nodded, Li Ruhai continued, "At that time, I still had half a pack of cigarettes left in my hand, so I thought of selling them at the convenience store..."
Li Baoyu, who had not been able to speak just now, finally got the chance at this moment. He said, "Disperse? You have such a big hand. Can't you give me the remaining cigarette?"
Here, when people say someone has loose hands or big hands, they are used to describe a person who is generous and likes to give things to others. For example, Zhao Jun's grandfather got his nickname Wang Daba Zhang from this.
Li Ruhai ignored Li Baoyu before, but he couldn't stand Li Baoyu's constant talking. Li Ruhai turned around and said to him: "I want to give it to you. As soon as you take it, you have to go to our mother."
"I..." Li Baoyu was about to refute, but he felt that the boy was right.
"What are you talking about?" Li Ruhai rolled his eyes at him and said, "You can do it."
"I..." Li Baoyu seemed to be about to say something, but Li Ruhai spoke first, saying, "You are just that kind of person!"
"Hehehe..." The two brothers were bickering, which made Jie Chen, who was standing next to them, laugh very hard.
After dealing with his own brother, Li Ruhai turned around and said to Zhao Jun, "Brother, I'm not saying anything bad about your brother-in-law. When I was distributing cigarettes to the guys playing cards in the store, he came in from outside and insisted on asking me for two. I told him not to give it to him, but he refused. Then, when something happened, he betrayed me."
After hearing what Li Ruhai said, Zhao Jun had no choice but to smooth things over for Ma Yang, saying, "He has no other options. His father, mother, and sister are trying to deal with him, and he can't handle it anymore."
"That's enough, big brother." Li Ruhai raised his hand and sighed, "I'm not going to do the same as him for your sake."
"Okay, Ruhai, then you have to give me some face." Zhao Jun responded, and then Li Baoyu took the opportunity to ask Li Ruhai, "What kind of cigarettes did you give him?"
"Yingchun." Li Ruhai answered calmly, but Li Baoyu screamed, "You are really good, my father and I are the ones who draw grapes!"
When the two brothers were arguing, they went to Chen Dalai's house.
When the four people came over, Chen Dalai and his two brothers-in-law were busy at the door of their house.
There were bunches of wild boar meat hanging on the tent, and three people were using gourd ladles and ladle to scoop water and pour it on the meat.
This pile of wild boar meat weighed five catties. Zhao Jun's family used wire to tie it up because they had connections and could get wire from the forest farm. Chen Dalai's family, on the other hand, used hemp rope to tie it up.
Tie the meat up and hang it on the tent. When the meat is frozen, pour water on it. This is called waxing, which can prevent water loss.
Seeing Zhao Jun and the others coming over, Chen Dalai and the other two greeted them. Then Chen Dalai pointed to a rolled-up wild boar skin and said to Zhao Jun, "Brother, it's all tied up for you. Just carry it away."
When Zhao Jun took a look, he saw that the wild boar skin was rolled into a long tube and tied with hemp ropes at both ends and in the middle. It was obvious that Chen Dalai worked very honestly.
Zhao Jun thanked Chen Dalai and handed the hairtail to him, asking him to take it home and fry it for his children.
Chen Dalai was not a forestry worker, his family did not have access to hairtail fish, and his children had not eaten it for a year. After a few polite words, Chen Dalai accepted the hairtail fish.
The Zhao army did not need to take action. Li Baoyu and Jie Chen each held a hemp rope and carried the wild boar skin and walked home.
Zhao Jun and Li Ruhai followed behind. When they were a little further away from Chen Dalai's house, Li Ruhai suddenly asked Zhao Jun, "Brother, you and my uncle went to the old Ma's house the other day. My uncle didn't complain to my father when he came back. Did you stop him for me?"
"Haha, oh. Ruhai, you are really smart." Zhao Jun laughed and said, "I was thinking about telling you later. Go to Uncle Dachun's house tomorrow morning and tell him. Let him sit with your dad when he goes to work and when he gets off work. With Uncle Dachun next to him, my uncle Ma can't say anything."
As Zhao Jun finished speaking, Li Baoyu, who was walking in front, said, "You can hide for a while, but you can't hide forever."
"Let's hide for two days first." Zhao Jun said, "On the 26th, your family will kill a pig and host a banquet. My uncle will definitely get drunk. Once he gets drunk, no matter what you say to him, he will just wave his hand and go away."
Hearing what Zhao Jun said, Li Baoyu curled his lips and thought to himself that he should let that boy escape.
Some people, when they are drunk, beat their children to death. But it is not the case with Li Dayong. When Li Dayong is drunk, his pretentious spirit comes out.
If Li Ruhai went to admit his mistake when Li Dayong was drunk, Li Dayong would just wave his hand and say, "Okay, Dad won't hit you this time, but I won't do that again in the future."
But at this time, Li Ruhai looked at Zhao Jun deeply, then sighed and said, "Brother, you are so good to me."
Zhao Jun smiled when he heard this, but then he heard Li Ruhai say, "Brother, don't worry about me. I will tell my dad and mom when I get home."
"Hmm? What does that mean?" Zhao Jun was stunned, and then he saw Li Ruhai glance at the back of Li Baoyu's head, and then he said, "My dad will come back from get off work tomorrow, and I will be beaten to death at night. You just wait and see, the day after tomorrow my uncle will either give me a lesson or someone else will give me a lesson."
"I don't care about your shit." Li Baoyu, who was walking in front, said this. Li Ruhai said, "I didn't say anything about you."
"Neither can your uncle." Zhao Jun consoled Li Ruhai, but Li Ruhai shook his head and said, "It's OK, brother. A real man would rather take the straight path than the crooked one."
As he said this, Li Ruhai raised his head slightly and stood straight.
But at this time, Zhao Jun said, "Alas, you are so young, who can you marry? Even if you are engaged, no one will be engaged to you."
Li Baoyu, Li Ruhai: "..."
Li Ruhai, who was always eloquent, was speechless at this moment. After a while, Li Ruhai came back to his senses, shook his head and said to Zhao Jun: "Yes, brother, I understand."
When Li Ruhai said this, the four of them had already arrived outside the Zhao family's courtyard.
Zhao Jun asked Li Baoyu and Jie Chen to carry the wild boar skin under the windowsill, while he went into the house to find Zhao Youcai.
"Dad." Zhao Jun entered the house and said to Zhao Youcai, "Bring back the wild boar skin. It's under the window."
"Bring it to the house." Zhao Youcai looked up and said to Zhao Jun, "Don't leave it outside. Won't it be cold if you leave it outside? Bring it to the house and put it under the fire wall in the outer room."
"Then when will we deal with it?" Zhao Jun asked. Zhao Youcai said, "I'll deal with it tomorrow morning. You don't have to worry about it."
Zhao Jun responded and went out to ask Li Baoyu and Jie Chen to bring the wild boar skin into the house.
At this time, the meat filling has been prepared. The roe deer meat and green onion filling, roe deer meat accounts for 95%, this meat filling is like meat and eggs, everything is delicious.
Wang Meilan distributed the dumpling stuffing to everyone, and the seven families held basins, trays, and lunch boxes and went back to their homes.
The five members of the Li family arrived home first. Jin Xiaomei went into the house, took off her cotton-padded jacket, and walked out to the outer room. She opened the door of the bowl rack and pounded the dough, preparing to knead and leaven the dough so that she could steam buns the next morning.
"Mom." Li Ruhai walked out of the west room, walked behind Jin Xiaomei, and got straight to the point, saying, "I have to admit a mistake to you."
"Ah?" Jin Xiaomei was stunned and said, "Aren't you feeling fine today?"
After returning from the Little Redwood Forest Farm, Li Ruhai's performance was indeed very good. Throughout the day, he only went out for a walk for more than half an hour in the morning, and spent the rest of the time helping with work at home.
"Mom, I..." Li Ruhai said, pointing towards the east room.
Jin Xiaomei understood instantly and said, "Just tell me, son, it's okay."
Li Ruhai felt relieved after hearing what Jin Xiaomei said, and he confessed the truth.
The walls of the old house were not soundproof, and the door to the east room was not closed. Li Dayong could hear everything Li Ruhai said clearly from inside the room.
Just when he heard half of it, Li Dayong jumped out from the inner room, and Li Ruhai was so scared that he hurriedly hid behind Jin Xiaomei.
"Little guy, what the hell did I tell you?" Li Dayong pointed at Li Ruhai and shouted, "Before you turn sixteen, you are not allowed to smoke or drink."
"I won't smoke anymore, Dad." Li Ruhai said this, but Jin Xiaomei raised her hand to stop Li Dayong and said, "Okay, you are only twelve or thirteen years old, and you just stole our dad's cigarettes to smoke."
"I...we all smoked back then." Li Dayong shouted, "How can they be the same as us now? They should all go to school!"
"Well, our son won't go to school anymore. Besides, the child has said that he won't smoke anymore." Jin Xiaomei said so, and Li Ruhai continued: "Well, I was thinking about practicing a little bit the other day, and I will be a cadre in the future..."
"Fuck you!" Li Dayong cursed, but seeing Jin Xiaomei's bad face, Li Dayong quickly aimed his firepower at Li Ruhai and said, "What the hell are you practicing that for? Why are you practicing it?"
"It's always good to have many skills..." Li Ruhai spoke in a low voice, but Li Dayong frowned. Why did this sound familiar?
Suddenly, Li Dayong realized that this was what he had said when he was arranging driving practice when he was at Zhao's house before.
……
"Hey, Lan." Zhao Youcai, who was sitting on a small stool in the east room of the Zhao family, washing his daughter's feet, looked up and asked Wang Meilan, who was warming the quilt, "Do you think it's okay for me to learn to drive?"
Wang Meilan looked at Zhao Youcai and joked with him, "I think you farted because you ate pickles."
"Hmm? What do you mean?" Zhao Youcai didn't understand, so when he asked, Wang Meilan said, "You're just humming when you're bored."
Zhao Youcai: "..."
