Chapter 1169: Zhao Youcai (November update 11)
While the Zhao family was planning their business, the Li family next door was fighting among themselves.
In the west room of the Li family, Li Ruhai looked at Li Baoyu who had rolled up his quilt, mattress and pillow with an aggrieved look on his face and said, "Brother, we are brothers!"
Li Baoyu picked up the couch, looked at Li Ruhai deeply, and then walked out of the room without looking back.
According to Jin Xiaomei, their family will impose sanctions on Li Ruhai for a week.
The sanctions are divided into economic sanctions and spiritual sanctions. The economic sanctions are to confiscate all of Li Ruhai’s illegal income, and the spiritual sanctions are that the whole family will ignore this kid.
Looking at the closed door, Li Ruhai sighed and picked up the picture book on the kang cabinet. But the next second, the lights in the room went out.
In the outer room, Jin Xiaomei, who had just turned off the power switch, went back to the east room with a flashlight.
……
The next day, Monday, December 1987, 12.
Zhao Youcai got up from the kang early. When he came out of the house, Wang Meilan was peeling cabbage in the outer room.
Seeing Zhao Youcai coming out, Wang Meilan asked, "Why did you get up so early?"
"Listen!" Zhao Youcai gestured towards the west room and said, "That brother is snoring."
After saying this, Zhao Youcai turned his head and looked at the door of the west room, muttering, "Hey? How is that kid sleeping?"
"He plugged his ears." Wang Meilan answered for Zhao Jun, "He plugged them with toilet paper."
"This little bastard!" Zhao Youcai said unhappily, "He stuffed it in and he didn't tell me."
Wang Meilan smiled when she heard this and continued to pick the yellow leaves off the cabbage. At this time, Zhao Youcai walked over to her and squatted down, smiling apologetically: "Lan, what are you going to cook this morning? How about I make it?"
Wang Meilan tilted her head and glanced at Zhao Youcai, then said, "Stew Chinese cabbage and vermicelli."
As she spoke, Wang Meilan put down the cabbage, stood up and said, "Then you do it."
"Ah?" Zhao Youcai didn't expect Wang Meilan to agree so readily. At this time, Wang Meilan stood up and said to Zhao Youcai, "Cut some pork belly and put it in there."
Having said that, Wang Meilan pushed the door open and walked out.
"Lan," Zhao Youcai asked, "It's so cold outside, where are you going?"
"There are enough potatoes in the cellar!" Wang Meilan said, "Don't we have to feed the dogs with some food?"
"Lan, don't go out." Zhao Youcai said, "I'll fix it later."
Wang Meilan felt that the old man was holding his fart in, but she ignored him, closed the door and walked towards the dish rack.
Going to the bowl rack, Wang Meilan took a basin of soybeans, probably preparing to go to the tofu shop to exchange them for large tofu and dried tofu.
Zhao Youcai was afraid that Wang Meilan would run away, so he came over and said, "Lan."
"What's the matter? Tell me quickly." Wang Meilan urged and gave Zhao Youcai a blank look.
"Nothing serious." Zhao Youcai said with a smile: "It's just that cow money..."
"That's not a hurry." Wang Meilan interrupted Zhao Youcai and said, "You can give me anything you want."
"No..." Zhao Youcai snatched the basin of soybeans from Wang Meilan's hand and said, "Lan, do you still want the cow...money?"
For the cow he killed two days ago, Wang Meilan gave Zhao Youcai money twice, five hundred yuan once and one thousand yuan twice.
"Nonsense! Why wouldn't I want it?" Wang Meilan glanced at Zhao Youcai, curled her lips, and said, "Just give me another 500 yuan, I don't want the other 500 yuan, and then I'll consider this cow as my purchase, and we can all eat it."
"Then..." Zhao Youcai said, "Lan, I bought a thousand cow flowers."
"You are paying compensation based on the price of a live cow." Wang Meilan said, "I bought a dead cow, so how can I get the same price?"
As she spoke, Wang Meilan snatched back the small basin of soybeans and said unhappily, "I didn't settle accounts with you two for the guests who came to my house these two days, so just shut up and keep your eyes peeled."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Youcai glanced at Wang Meilan.
"What are you looking at?" Wang Meilan said unceremoniously, "I didn't let you go up the mountain, but you insisted on showing off. You're showing off this time, right? You killed another old cow."
Zhao Youcai twitched the corner of his mouth and sat back in front of the stove to pick up the cabbage.
Wang Meilan glared at Zhao Youcai, then went out with the basin to exchange for dried tofu.
"Oh!" After Wang Meilan left, Zhao Youcai threw the cabbage in his hand on the ground and couldn't help but sigh.
At this time, Zhao Youcai also felt that his life was too unlucky. A week ago, he went up the mountain and almost didn't come back. Three days ago, he went up the mountain again and was beaten to death by an old cow when he got there.
Zhao Youcai finished his breakfast with a very melancholy mood. Seeing Zhao Youcai was unhappy, Zhao Weipeng handed him a cigarette and asked, "What's wrong, brother? Are you feeling unwell?"
"It's okay, brother." Zhao Youcai just responded when Zhao Jun came in from the outer room and asked Zhao Weipeng, "Uncle, I'm going to the mountain to catch fish today, do you want to go?"
"No." Zhao Weipeng rejected Zhao Jun's proposal to go up the mountain without thinking. If it was to hunt mountain animals, Zhao Weipeng would definitely go. But climbing mountains and crossing ridges was not exciting, so Zhao Weipeng didn't want to go.
"Then let's go." Zhao Jun said with a smile: "Uncle, if you don't want to go, you can wait until we catch the live roe deer, and then you can take pictures."
"Okay." Zhao Weipeng agreed and leaned against the kang cabinet, feeling the warmth of the small kang. Boss Zhao's eyes were a little dazed, probably because he was sleepy again.
Just then, the dog outside the house started barking.
Zhao Youcai stretched his neck to look out the window, then quickly got up, put on his shoes and walked out.
Zhang Life is here.
Zhao Youcai hurried out, and as soon as he got outside he heard Zhang Lifu say, "Second brother, I went up there yesterday, and when I asked at the yard, they said they had pulled all the cows down."
"Stop making noise." Zhao Youcai was afraid that the neighbors would hear them, so he pulled Zhang Lifeu into the yard.
"I'm not going in." Zhang Lifeu lowered his voice and said, "Didn't I tell you the other day? Your sister-in-law and I set up a bed at the market, and I came to ask you, are you going to sell that beef? If you are, we will help you sell it."
“No need, brother.” Zhao Youcai said, “They are all sold out.”
As he spoke, Zhao Youcai took out a cigarette and gave it to Zhang Lifeu.
After lighting the cigarette, Zhang Lifu looked around and said to Zhao Youcai, "Second brother, my trip up the mountain yesterday was not in vain. I found a black bear warehouse."
"Hmm?" Zhao Youcai's eyes lit up, then dimmed again. When he asked Wang Meilan for money yesterday, Zhao Youcai said in person that he would not go hunting from now on.
Zhao Baotou has many shortcomings, but he has to admit what he said.
Zhang Lifu noticed something was wrong with Zhao Youcai. Usually, Zhao Youcai would be very excited if he gave him this kind of news. But today, Zhao Youcai was unusually calm.
"Second brother, what's wrong with you?" Zhang Lifeu asked, "What's wrong with you?"
"No." Zhao Youcai asked, "Where is the black bear warehouse?"
"Just come out of the 27th floor and go to the 28th floor." Zhang Lifu said, "Isn't there a pair of bridges? On the small fork to the west of the bridge, there is a big linden tree. I went over to take a look and saw that the door of the warehouse was covered with frost."
"Okay, I got it." Zhao Youcai memorized the location, then nodded and said, "I'll ask your nephew to go and get it. If he gets it, it will definitely be good enough for you."
"Second brother, what else is there to say?" Zhang Lifeu smiled and took a puff of cigarette, but thinking of what Zhao Youcai had just said, Zhang Lifeu felt something was wrong and asked quickly, "Second brother, you're not going?"
"I'm not going." Zhao Youcai sighed and said, "Let the child fight."
After seeing Zhang Lifu off, Zhao Youcai walked into the room and saw Zhao Jun sitting on the edge of the kang to tie his leggings and Zhao Weipeng leaning against the kang cabinet in a daze. Zhao Youcai said to Zhao Jun, "Your uncle Zhang just came."
Zhao Jun looked at Zhao Youcai, and Zhao Weipeng raised his eyelids slightly. Then, Zhao Youcai said, "He said there is a black bear warehouse, and asked you to go and dig it out."
"Hei Xia Zi Cang." Zhao Weipeng sat up immediately and asked Zhao Youcai, "Brother, where is he?"
"In our..." Zhao Youcai paused. He wanted to say that we went to the ridge yesterday, but he stopped talking in time and said, "Out of the 27 ridge, there is a cement bridge that was built for the railway track. Go west of the bridge and there is a small fork in the hill. It is said that there is a big linden tree on the fork, and the black bear is hiding in the warehouse next to it."
Zhao Youcai explained it in detail, and even Zhao Weipeng, an outsider, understood it. At this time, Zhao Jun, who was sitting on the edge of the kang, and Wang Meilan, who was sitting in the outer room, both looked at Zhao Youcai.
Then, Zhao Youcai said to Zhao Weipeng: "Your nephew wants to go, so you should go with him."
"Ah?" When Zhao Youcai said this, Zhao Jun, Wang Meilan and Zhao Weipeng were all stunned.
"Brother!" Zhao Weipeng asked Zhao Youcai, "Aren't you going?"
"I'm not going." Zhao Youcai sat down on the edge of the kang and said, "I'll stay at home for two more days, and then I'll go back to work."
Zhao Jun and Wang Meilan couldn't believe what he said. Although Wang Meilan strictly forbade Zhao Youcai to go up the mountain, Zhao Weipeng was there today, and if Zhao Youcai wanted to go out for a walk with Zhao Weipeng, Wang Meilan couldn't stop him.
Zhao Weipeng didn't think much about it. He put on his leggings and followed Zhao Jun out.
Seeing Zhao Jun coming out with guns on his back and wearing clothes for going up the mountain, the dogs in the Zhao family's yard instantly became a mess.
When the dog barked, Zhao Youcai was startled and couldn't help looking out the window.
At this moment, Zhao Weipeng was watching the hunting dogs being released one by one by Zhao Jun. He couldn't help but feel a little excited, and the flesh on his fat face trembled.
Black Tiger, Yellow Dragon, Blue Dragon, Black Dragon, White Dragon, Erhei, Xiaohua and Green Tiger, eight dogs gathered beside the Jiefang truck outside the yard, waiting for Zhao Jun to put down the barrier, and then they scrambled to jump onto the trunk.
The hunting dogs were familiar with the long-term use of the car to hunt in the mountains. Zhao Weipeng was a little surprised when he saw this scene, and asked Zhao Jun: "Nephew, don't you and Baoyu have dogs in the yard? Why don't you lead them all?"
Whether it is the red bitch or the three dogs sent back by the Yongxing Brigade, they have all been home for some time and have become well-trained and can be taken out to the mountains.
However, since they were going to fight a bear today, Zhao Jun only brought elite soldiers for safety reasons. As for the four dogs, Zhao Jun thought it would be better to wait until the second batch of armor was ready before bringing them up the mountain.
In the past, there wasn't enough cowhide to ensure that all dogs had armor. But now, there is one more big cowhide.
Once this piece of cowhide is made into armor, not only will every hunting dog in the family have a share, there might even be some left over.
Just before Zhao Jun boarded the car, Li Baoyu ran out of the Li family's house and shouted, "Brother, why don't you take Niuniu with you?"
"No." Zhao Jun responded: "What do you want to do with it?"
"Take it with you, it won't do." Li Baoyu ran to the gate of the courtyard and shouted to Zhao Jun, "It keeps fussing behind us every day, why don't you take it up the mountain for a run?"
