Chapter 1101 Wang Meilan: Wait until I become the director of women's affairs...
Half past two in the afternoon.
Zhao Jun and Jie Chen kicked the snow to put out the fire. Zhao Youcai and Wang Qiang tied the black bear's thighs with a rope, and tied the roe deer's head and the black bear's head together, so that they could drag the roe deer together with the black bear.
They were preparing to go down the mountain and go home. At this time, the hunting dogs were resting on the snow around them. Some of them raised their heads to look around, some lay on their paws, and some were licking their paws.
Only the black tiger was left. It hid behind a tree and looked at Zhao Jun with tears in its eyes.
Just now, it saw that the four dogs of Qinglong all had painkillers to take, but it didn't, so Black Tiger got unhappy and started to snatch them from Zhao Jun.
The Zhao army pulled its ears, but it refused to move. The Zhao army slapped its mouth, but it still refused to let go.
Finally, it made Zhao Jun angry.
Zhao Jun picked out a painkiller and gave it to the black tiger. The black tiger glared at Zhao Jun as if it was too little, then licked the painkiller with its tongue and it went into its mouth.
As soon as the painkiller entered his mouth, Hei Hu felt its bitterness and immediately spat it out.
At this time, the Zhao army called Jie Chen, and the two brothers held Hei Hu down and stuffed the pain-relieving pills into Hei Hu's mouth.
In Zhao Jun's words: "You want it, right? If you want it, you have to eat it, otherwise it would be a waste, and wasting is a great crime."
Everything was ready. Zhao Jun blew a whistle and the hunting dogs stood up one after another. Black Tiger also subconsciously obeyed the order and followed Zhao Jun down the mountain.
Coming down the mountain from the north, the car was only 500 meters away. Xie Chen drove the car over first. After the four of them loaded the prey into the car, they drove back to Yong'antun.
It was nearly 4:30 when the car left the mountain. When we arrived at the entrance of the village, there was a man in front of us hurrying along.
Hearing the sound of the car, the man was about to pull over. As the car passed by him, the headlights flashed, and Zhao Youcai saw the man's profile clearly.
"Stop the car!" Zhao Youcai shouted, and Jie Chen quickly braked.
But during the braking process, the car still traveled a distance. At this time, Zhao Jun, who was sitting on the trunk, looked down and happened to meet the man's eyes.
"Uncle Zhang!" Zhao Jun saw that it was Zhang Lifu, and quickly got up from the car and asked, "What are you doing?"
"I'm coming to your house!" Zhang Lifeu said, "I went up the mountain to look after some pigs today, and I wanted to tell you..."
Zhang Life was halfway through his words when the passenger door was pushed open and Zhao Youcai got out of the car.
Seeing Zhao Youcai, Zhang Lifeu quickly changed his words and said, "I was thinking of telling you and your father."
"What's going on?" Zhao Youcai walked towards Zhang Lifu and asked, "Where are you watching the pigs?"
"In Sankeshu!" Zhang Lifeu first said a place name, then he waved his hand mysteriously to call Zhao Jun and Zhao Youcai together, and whispered: "I saw a large group of pigs, lying in the ditch and pond, filling up the ditch and pond."
"In the ditch?" Zhao Youcai frowned and said, "You are just foolish. The ditch at Sankeshu is huge. How many pigs are needed to fill it up?"
"There must be seventy or eighty of them!" Zhang Life said with eyes wide open. At this time, Wang Qiang and Jie Chen got off the car and walked over. Wang Qiang asked, "What the hell is that, Brother Zhang? There must be seventy or eighty of them."
"Hey! Brother!" Zhang Lifeu turned around and saw that it was Wang Qiang, so he greeted him. He had also seen Xie Chen before and knew that he was Zhao Jun's younger brother, so he raised his hand to signal Xie Chen, and Xie Chen also called him "Uncle".
"Your brother Zhang said there is a gang of big pigs." Zhao Youcai said, "Seventy or eighty."
"Oh my god!" Wang Qiang was startled when he heard this, and subconsciously said, "Pig God?"
Hearing these two words, Zhao Youcai's eyes lit up instantly. Before and after the New Year last year, Zhao Youcai had gone up the mountain several times to hunt the Pig God, but each time he returned empty-handed, and for this he was despised and looked down upon by Wang Meilan.
But in Zhao Youcai's heart, he still had an obsession with the Pig Hunting God. Or rather, all the gunners in Lingnan and Lingxi, except for the Zhao army, had the same obsession as Zhao Youcai.
With such an obsession, Zhao Youcai asked Zhang Life anxiously: "Do you see any big pigs?"
"No." Zhang Life shook his head and said, "I looked for a long time, but I didn't see any that were too big."
After Zhang Lifu finished speaking, Zhao Youcai's face was as gloomy as water, and Wang Qiang looked at Zhao Youcai's face. He had been hanging out with Zhao Youcai since he was a teenager, and although the two of them quarreled at ordinary times, when facing major events, Wang Qiang would listen to Zhao Youcai.
"What were you watching yesterday?" Zhao Youcai asked Zhang Lifu, "Did they feed the pigs in the afternoon?"
This was Zhao Youcai's judgment based on experience. Wild boars cannot go down to the ditch or pond without food. Zhao Youcai asked this because he wanted to predict the next move of the pig gang.
"Yes!" Zhang Life nodded and said, "They are all eating weeds in the big ditch."
After hearing Zhang Life's words, Zhao Jun, Zhao Youcai, and Wang Qiang all had a mountain field in their minds. The three frowned and thought for about five seconds. Zhao Youcai came back to his senses first. He reached into his pocket, took out a wad of money, and gave it to Zhang Life without counting it.
In order to get Tian Guozhong's legs treated, Zhao Youcai borrowed money from Zhang Life and Zhou Jianjun. Zhao Youcai had already paid back Zhou Jianjun's fifty yuan. But he was busy recently and had no time to look for Zhang Life, so he didn't pay back the seventy-five yuan he owed Zhang Life.
If he didn't pay it back, Zhang Lifeu wouldn't ask him to pay it back. Zhang Lifeu hurried over because he thought Zhao Youcai was at work today, so he deliberately asked him not to come home. Otherwise, Zhang Lifeu was afraid that Zhao Youcai would think he was asking him to pay it back.
"Second brother." Zhang Lifeu extended his hand to refuse, saying, "Didn't I say no?"
"What do you mean you don't want it anymore?" Zhao Youcai pushed Zhang Life's hand away and stuffed the money into his pocket.
"Second brother!" Zhang Lifeu put his hand on his pocket, and he also put Zhao Youcai's hand in his pocket.
At this time, Zhang Lifeu leaned close to Zhao Youcai's ear and whispered, "Did you give me more again?"
"A few more dollars." Zhao Youcai pulled his hand away forcefully and said, "Go back and buy some cloth to make clothes for each of the children for the New Year."
"Second brother..." Zhang Lifeu was somewhat touched, but Zhao Youcai raised his hand and pointed at the car, saying, "Let's go. We need to have a meal when we get home!"
"No, second brother!" Zhang Lifeu hurriedly declined, "Let's do it another day. I have to get up early tomorrow and go down the mountain."
"What are you doing? Are you coming down the mountain?" Zhao Youcai asked. Zhang Lifeu said, "Your sister-in-law wants to set up a stall at the market. She wants me to put some goods on the stall so she can sell them at the market."
At this point, Zhang Lifu asked Zhao Youcai, "Second brother, tell me what you need at home, and I'll bring you a bunch of it."
In this day and age, people who sell mountain products at the market just pile them on the ground. But people who sell pots, pans, candles, matches, etc., that's business, usually they set up a camp bed, and they can put things on the bed and under the bed. So Zhang Lifu said his wife wanted to set up a bed.
This year he "turned from darkness to light", and Zhao Jun never treated him badly. Following Zhao Jun, the family had money, and Zhang Lifu and his wife discussed doing some small business.
"We have everything we need at home." Zhao Youcai waved his hand and said, "It snowed heavily the past two days, and the roads are hard to walk on. Be careful when you go down the mountain."
"Don't worry, second brother." Zhang Lifu smiled at Zhao Youcai, and then asked Wang Qiang: "Brother, what does your family need?"
Wang Qiang also smiled and waved his hand, politely rejecting Zhang Life's kindness. Seeing that Zhang Life insisted on going back, Zhao Youcai turned sideways and called Zhao Jun, "Son, go cut off a thigh of the black bear and a thigh of the roe deer, and give it to your uncle after you're done."
"No, no!" Zhang Lifu waved his hands repeatedly and said, "Second brother, you guys keep it for yourself. You have a big family."
Zhao Youcai's mouth twitched when he heard this. Seeing Zhao Jun flipping over the back of the car, Zhang Lifeu hurriedly chased him and shouted, "Xiaojun, don't give me the roe deer meat. I have already put the roe deer on the hook. If it doesn't cover the blood, I will take it all to your family today."
Two years later, around the 90s, city dwellers slowly began to appreciate wild game. Since it was difficult to carry wild boars as gifts, many people used roe deer as gifts.
In 93, a roe deer weighing more than kilograms could be sold for yuan if it was taken to Inner Mongolia.
But gradually, people who bought roe deer understood that a roe deer shot with a gun is different from a roe deer caught in a harness.
The roe deer is caught in a trap, and by the time the trapper arrives, the roe deer is most likely already dead.
After the roe deer dies, if the blood is not drained, it is common for the blood to be covered and the stomach to stink. Needless to say, the meat on the roe deer is smelly. Covering the blood is better, but it is incomparable to the meat of the roe deer that has been bled after being shot.
Zhang Life would send a roe deer to the Zhao family every winter, and this roe deer would not have blood or a stinky belly.
This was not an easy task for Zhang Life, the trapper. He would spend a whole winter setting traps and would only come across one or two roe deer that had survived the traps.
Zhang Lifu has caught eight roe deer this winter, but they are all covered in blood. He will not give these roe deer to the Zhao family, but will sell them at the market. But since he has roe deer at home, he does not want Zhao Jun to cut off their thighs for him.
Not only did Zhang Lifu not want the roe deer thigh, he also didn't want the black bear leg. He said to Zhao Jun, "Xiaojun, I don't want the black bear thigh either. Give me the whole piece of meat and I'll go back and fry it in oil."
After hearing what he said, Zhao Jun cut out about ten pounds of fat from the black bear's belly. Zhang Lifeu picked up two tree branches from the roadside under the car, tied the meat with the branches, and left in a hurry after saying goodbye to Zhao Jun and others.
After seeing Zhang Lifu off, the four of them boarded the car and headed home. When they got home, they saw a big red lantern hanging high at the door and lights on in the three rooms.
"What a waste!" Zhao Youcai couldn't help but complain when looking at the big red lanterns hanging on both sides of the courtyard gate.
These two lanterns are powered by candles, not electricity.
There is no other way. The electrical circuits in the forest area are not good these days, and the voltage is sometimes unstable. In addition, when it is windy, it is easy to break the wires. Therefore, there is a base in the lantern, which is used to fix the candle.
Anyway, when Zhao Jun brought Ma Ling down the mountain, he bought a lot of candles at the Daohua Supply and Marketing Cooperative. Today, after four o'clock, when the night fell over Yong'an Village, Wang Meilan took down the lanterns with a pole, lit the candles and put them in the lanterns, and then hung them up high.
"Oh!" After hearing Zhao Youcai talking about his sister, Wang Qiang defended Wang Meilan and retorted, "Isn't it because you think we're coming back late, so you should light up for us?"
"Isn't it enough to light just one?" Zhao Youcai pointed at the lanterns on both sides and questioned Wang Qiang. His question left Wang Qiang speechless.
Wang Qiang twitched the corner of his mouth, pushed the car door and got out of the passenger seat.
After getting off the bus, Wang Qiang looked up at the large lanterns hanging high up, and couldn't help but sigh, "My home was so magnificent back then!"
"Do you still remember?" Zhao Youcai complained mercilessly: "Before your family was so impressive, you were still wearing open-crotch pants!"
Wang Qiang: "..."
At this moment, the door of Zhao's house opened wide, and Wang Meilan shouted at the door: "Did you hit him?"
"It's happening!" Zhao Youcai replied, "Come out?"
As soon as Zhao Youcai finished speaking, Wang Meilan and Jin Xiaomei ran out of the house.
When Wang Meilan arrived at the gate, she pointed at the lanterns above and asked Zhao Youcai, "How is it?"
"Very good!" Zhao Youcai replied, "When we come back from hunting tonight, we can see wild boars, black bears and other animals being dragged down."
Wang Qiang: "..."
"Really?" After hearing Zhao Youcai's approval, Wang Meilan asked with a smile, "Did you fix the black blind man who injured the aid workers?"
"It's ready." Zhao Youcai pointed to the rear trunk and said, "It's about 300 kilograms, but it's not small!"
"Dad!" At this time, Zhao Jun's voice came from the trunk, and he said, "Come and give us a hand."
"Hurry! Help your son!" Wang Meilan heard Zhao Jun talking and hurriedly urged Zhao Youcai.
When Zhao Youcai and Wang Qiang came over, Zhao Jun and Jie Chen were pulling Hei Xia Zi down. The four of them worked together to get Hei Xia Zi off the car, and then they heard Jin Xiaomei ask Wang Meilan, "Sister-in-law, do you want to take it off now or after dinner?"
"Oh!" Wang Meilan sighed and looked at Jin Xiaomei and said, "Sister-in-law, if you want to dig it, you have to do it in your outer room."
There were a bunch of adults and children in the Zhao family's house. At this time, Zhao Ling, Xu Chunyan and Liu Lanying were cutting vegetables and cooking in the outer room. Where was the place to put such a big black cat?
"Just do it at my house." Jin Xiaomei smiled naturally, "What's there to be afraid of?"
"If you want to dig it up at your house, you have to dig it up now." Wang Meilan said, "How bad will it taste otherwise?"
This black bear was pulled down from the mountain and is not frozen yet. It cannot be left outside and must be placed indoors. This thing has a strong smell, so you have to peel it quickly.
"Then let's do it now!" Jin Xiaomei raised her hand and gestured towards the Zhao family's house, saying, "I'll call Sister Sun!"
The sister Sun mentioned by Jin Xiaomei was none other than Xie Sunshi, who had turned over a new leaf and turned over a new leaf. Xie Sunshi was able to do any kind of work recently, and while others were preparing dinner, Jin Xiaomei thought of Xie Sunshi, who was free.
Just as Jin Xiaomei finished speaking, she saw Zhao Jun and his men taking another roe deer from the car.
"There are also roe deer?" Jin Xiaomei asked in surprise.
"That's all!" Wang Meilan smiled and patted Jin Xiaomei, saying, "Our Baoyu is so lucky. We'll have plenty of food for tomorrow's banquet with these roe deer and black bears."
After hearing what Wang Meilan said, Jin Xiaomei smiled. Tomorrow is the day when her eldest son and Liu Mei will get married. As a mother, Jin Xiaomei is very happy.
"His father!" At this time, Wang Meilan called Zhao Youcai and said to him, "I have to go to Teacher Liu's house tomorrow morning and bring all their family members here. After that, I have to go to my brother's house to help them pass the gifts. After that, you have to lead them in cooking and so on."
"Okay." Zhao Youcai nodded and said, "Don't worry about it. How can I be vague about my nephew's affairs?"
"Thank you, brother! Thank you, sister-in-law!" Jin Xiaomei thanked Zhao Youcai and Wang Meilan, but was pushed away by Wang Meilan.
"You are still talking to us." Wang Meilan said with a smile: "When I become the director of women's affairs, you will still have to help me with my work?"
"What is that?" Zhao Youcai was stunned. Zhao Jun and Wang Qiang also looked at Wang Meilan.
